Zong Jiayu's cheeks twitched slightly. "Hehe, Xue's sculpture teacher must be an abstract artist."
Jiang Xiaoli placed the three statues together. Hers was very large, taking up an entire box. Zong Jia and Li Guizhi's statues were smaller and squeezed together side by side.
This may also be why hers was only stuffed with newspaper around the sides of the box, which didn't provide enough shock absorption, causing her to appear "head and body separated".
The more she watched, the funnier it became. "Now I understand why my uncle and Brother Le were laughing so happily."
Zong Jia commented, "I think everyone in the family should have a copy of Ah Xue's cooking skills."
"Hahaha!" Jiang Xiaoli laughed, leaning on his shoulder. "You know what, I bet Xue really can make one for the whole family!"
Thinking of this, she simply made a phone call to Jiang Ruibo's courtyard.
Ah Xue's cheerful voice came through, "Hey, who are you looking for?"
Jiang Xiaoli couldn't help but laugh and said, "I was looking for you!"
"Sister Xiaoli!" Jiang Qingxue's voice rose another octave. "Sister Xiaoli, did you see the gift I gave you? I made it myself!"
She said with a smile, "I received it! I called you specifically to thank you after seeing the gift. Ah Xue is so kind!"
"Hehe." Jiang Qingxue said shyly, "Sister Xiaoli, you're so kind! I'll make even prettier ones for you in the future!"
Jiang Xiaoli tentatively asked, "Who did you give all of Xue's statues to?"
Jiang Qingxue said very proudly, "Everyone has one! Grandpa said the best gift he received this year was Qingxue's artwork!"
She suppressed a laugh and chatted with the child for a while before Qiao Xing'er took the phone.
"Xiao Li, did A Le bring you everything? Hehe, when we were preparing things, A Xue insisted on joining in the fun."
Jiang Xiaoli said with a smile, "Auntie, seeing Xue's gift is the happiest thing I've been doing these past two days."
Qiao Xing'er immediately understood what she meant, "Haha, as long as you're happy!"
After hanging up the phone, she took out her camera and took pictures of each of the three statues, then turned on her computer and changed her "SOSO" profile picture to her own statue.
Seeing this, Zong Jiayu suppressed a laugh and changed his profile picture as well.
A short while later, Jiang Chengle sent a message.
[Enjoying the Rain: Hahahaha! Little Pear, your profile picture! Are you trying to make me laugh to death?!]
Just as Jiang Xiaoli was about to reply to him, another message came through.
[Enjoying the rain: No way, I want one too! I'm going to have my mom take a picture of me!]
At that moment, Xiao Muyu's avatar started flashing; she had just been chatting with Jiang Chengle.
[Xiaoxiao Muyu: Little Pear, look! I have one too!]
Jiang Xiaoli clicked on her profile picture and looked at the ugly-cute plaster statue in the picture. She laughed and rolled into Zong Jia's arms.
Zong Jia and her husband laughed as they held each other, “It seems that it won’t be long before our family group chat members’ profile pictures will all be unified by Xue.”
She didn't reply to them individually, but instead opened the Jiang family's group chat.
[Jiang Youqian: Look everyone, this is what we look like! @Zong @Lezaiyuzhong @Xiaoxiaomuyu]
At this moment, Jiang Chengle also changed his profile picture, and he immediately started speaking enthusiastically.
[Enjoying the Rain: @LuckyMom, tell Xue that she is a little artist genius, I said it!]
At Qiao Xing'er's urging, everyone in the Jiang family changed their profile pictures.
Jiang Xiaoli first sent Li Guizhi's profile picture offline, then carried her plaster statue upstairs and taught her how to change her profile picture step by step.
From then on, the family group called "Happy Jiang Family" became truly joyful.
Everyone was having a great time chatting while using the same quirky-cute profile pictures.
Li Guizhi watched them chat and laughed until tears streamed down her face.
She asked curiously, "Aren't your uncles afraid that their other friends will laugh at them?"
Zong Jiayu explained with a smile, "SOSO isn't that widespread yet. My uncle and his friends probably only add our family members as friends."
Everyone chatted for almost an hour when Grandma Jiang called.
You could tell from her voice that she was in a good mood. "Xiao Li, your grandfather and I are planning to go back and visit your father during the Qingming Festival."
Jiang Xiaoli quickly said, "Grandma, we welcome you two back anytime. I'll make sure everything is arranged perfectly for you!"
Grandma Jiang said with a smile, "Little Pear, I made an appointment with you in advance, so you have to spend more time with us then."
She assured him, "Don't worry, I've arranged my work in advance, and all my time is yours!"
"Haha, I'm relieved to hear that," Grandma Jiang said with a smile. "Then see you in a while."
After she hung up the phone, Li Guizhi asked, "Are your grandparents going back to China?"
She nodded. "Yes, they want to come back and visit their father during the Qingming Festival."
“Okay,” Li Guizhi said. “Then let me know in advance and I’ll make the arrangements.”
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and said, "Don't worry about it. Leave all these trivial matters to me. You just need to talk to Grandpa and Grandma. They know your health condition and won't say anything."
Li Guizhi hugged her daughter and smiled, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
On Sunday, Jiang Xiaoli finally got to sleep in and didn't get up until noon.
After washing up, she had lunch with Hu Jingxin, who had come to visit. "What time does Chengcheng's plane arrive?"
Hu Jingxin replied, "It's 3:30. No rush, let's eat slowly."
Jiang Xiaoli scratched her head. "I've already had Xiaoyue and Chengcheng's house inspected, and there are no problems. It's just that these two renovation plans need to be revised by professionals."
She originally wanted to contact Xue Bin, her golden partner from Xi'an, but after dialing the number, she remembered that Xue Bin had been sent to "Bihai Lanting" in Shanghai to clean up the mess.
Hu Jingxin suggested, "We're supposed to be talking to Uncle Xiao's company's designer about the company's renovation, right? Adding a small job shouldn't be a problem, right?"
She nodded. "That's the only way."
The two of them chatted and ate leisurely until Jiang Xiaoli suddenly glanced at her watch.
"Oh dear, it's already 2:30! Hurry up, grab your things and head to the airport. Teacher Yan's nagging is terrifying!"
Hu Jingxin panicked and, without even going home to change her shoes, put on Jiang Xiaoli's.
The two drove straight to the airport. Fortunately, Jiang Xiaoli was a good driver and the traffic wasn't too congested.
The two of them arrived at the arrival gate just five minutes after Yan Chengcheng's flight landed.
Yan Chengcheng came out with her luggage. "What happened to you two? Did you just run 5 kilometers?"
Hu Jingxin took a sip of the coffee she had just bought to catch her breath, "We're just giving you a warm welcome back to Kyoto!"
