"Yingying, I'm going to the study to take care of something. Go check on the children and tell them to be quiet and get some rest..."
Fan Ziqiang instructed his wife, Yu Yingying, who nodded.
Her mischievous sons were probably tired and had already gone to rest. When she arrived at her daughter Fan Yunfei's room, she found her daughter engrossed in rummaging through her suitcase.
"What are you doing not resting so late at night? If you can't get up tomorrow, don't blame others..."
Fan Yunfei wasn't afraid of upsetting her mother. Her family had always had a strict father and a kind mother. She quickly waved to her mother, beckoning her over: "These are the gifts I brought back. I want to pick out something nice for my second cousin and that little dumpling. Mom, give me some advice..."
Yu Yingying shook her head helplessly: "You like your second cousin that much? You've been talking about her ever since you came back, you've probably forgotten all about me, your mother..."
Fan Yunfei chuckled: "Mom, you don't know how impressive it is to help someone in need. You know me, if I get even a little bit dirty, it feels like there are bugs in me, it's so uncomfortable... I can't stand it for even a moment."
She tugged at Yu Yingying's hand, pointing to the clothes she was wearing: "Look, this fabric is excellent. It's a good thing my second cousin isn't stingy, so I also wanted to pick the best gift."
Yu Yingying hadn't noticed at first, but now that she touched it, she realized it was the kind of fabric that looked unremarkable at first glance, but felt incredibly comfortable to the touch...
She was a little curious: "Your second aunt is so stingy. I always knew she doted on your eldest cousin. How could she bear to buy such nice clothes for Xiaofan?"
They were unaware that Fan Xiaofan and Fan Yunyan had been assigned to work in the countryside. It was fortunate that this was the case; otherwise, before Fan Yunfei and Fan Yunli could even cause a scene, Grandma Fan would have already killed Zhou Xuehua with her glare…
That was the real war without gunpowder...
"Who knows..."
Fan Yunfei has never really liked Zhou Xuehua and Fan Yunli, and she's just so-so with other relatives, at least superficially. It's rare for her to put so much effort into choosing a gift for someone.
The next day, Fan Xiaofan, who came to pay New Year's greetings, tried to keep a low profile. However, he was surprised to receive a generous New Year's red envelope and then a carefully prepared gift from Fan Yunfei, which consisted of local specialties from Xicheng: cheese and dried beef and mutton.
Yesterday, Fan Yunfei tossed and turned, still feeling that giving food was the best way to express her affection...
However, in this era, food and fabric were the most popular gifts. Seeing Fan Xiaofan's eyes light up when he saw the gift, Fan Yunfei felt a great sense of accomplishment and thought she had made the right choice.
Fan Xiaofan also put a small portion in Fu Weidong's pocket for him to eat.
As for the gifts from the other siblings, they were very perfunctory. They were all the same kind of West City decorations, which were neither edible nor drinkable, but just things that looked nice.
Having learned her lesson from yesterday, Fan Yunli dared not cause any trouble.
Fan Yunrong wore new clothes today and didn't care about such things. Fan Yunlang was good at reading people's expressions and knew that his family hated it when the children made a fuss during the New Year...
As for Fan Yunyan, now that he has been nurtured by Fan Xiaofan, he finds his cousin, who is good to his second sister, more agreeable.
For a time, the younger generation seemed to be getting along well.
Fan Yunfei has three older brothers who watch her like a child making a fuss, not paying much attention to these things. Once their little sister finishes delivering the gifts, they call everyone to go out and play...
