Chapter 397 Everything You Need
Since the clothes were for her daughter-in-law, they had to be packed properly, and the exposed parts were also wrapped up with a towel. She carried them carefully on the train, fearing that they would get dirty or fall off.
He had never opened the bag, so naturally, he had no idea what was inside. Upon hearing what Zhu Meigong said, he immediately craned his head to look over. Indeed, there were two iron boxes, and they were quite large, about the size of a grown man's palm. Professor Xiao picked up the box and opened it. The contents were packed in a bag, but he could still faintly smell the fragrance of tea.
Professor Xiao couldn't wait any longer and tore open the small bag in the box. A strong aroma of tea hit his nose. Professor Xiao sniffed it hard and said, "Hmm, good tea."
"You should take this good tea, and these clothes are not cheap," said Zhu Meihong.
Professor Xiao also frowned, but then thought: "Since I've already accepted such expensive clothes, I might as well accept the two boxes of tea. I'll go boil some water."
After Professor Xiao finished speaking, he turned around and went to the kitchen to fetch some water and boil it. He was indeed very tired after just coming back, and wanted to ask his wife to boil it, but it seemed that his wife was very busy at the moment and probably didn't have time, so he went himself.
Zhu Meihong opened the clothes one by one and started trying them on without waiting a moment. She wore a shirt, jeans, a coat on the outside, a jacket on top, and a red scarf. Zhu Meihong also saw that others liked to wear white sneakers when wearing her clothes, so she took out her own white sneakers. After changing into this set and standing in front of the mirror, she felt that she looked a lot more fashionable.
Moreover, the style of the clothes is very special, and the waistline is also very well-cut. After wearing this dress, she looks several years younger. However, the size is a little larger. Zhu Meihong also understood that she probably didn't know her size, so she took a larger size on purpose, because it is easy to make it smaller, but not so easy to make it larger. Nowadays, everyone has some skills in altering clothes. Zhu Meihong immediately felt Ye Qian's kindness.
Professor Xiao was boiling water and waiting outside for it to boil. A short while later, Zhu Meihong came out, having changed her clothes. She then asked happily, "How is it? Does it look good?"
Professor Xiao sincerely thought it was really good: "It looks good."
After hearing the answer she wanted, Zhu Meihong went back to the house and changed her clothes. Professor Xiao had already boiled the water, so she made herself a cup of tea and felt the charm of tea from later generations.
hehe.
This box of tea was wholesaled by Ye Qian in the later generations. There are still a lot of them in the space. She would give these teas to her elders whenever she moved in. It may not be very good in the later generations, but it is a good thing in this era. Moreover, the prints on the outside of the iron box of tea have been wiped clean long ago, so naturally nothing can be seen from the outside.
Professor Xiao sat on a chair outside, watching the tea leaves being steeped one by one, then he picked up the cup and took a sip. Hmm, it was refreshing at first, and the fragrance of tea slowly seeped into his nose and throat. The taste was like sweet rain lingering on his teeth and cheeks. It was good tea.
After drinking two sips of tea, Zhu Meihong changed her clothes and came out of the bedroom, "Why don't you put on your new clothes?"
"What are you going to wear at home? Don't get it dirty. That down jacket costs thousands of dollars. What if it gets dirty?" Zhu Meihong said. Professor Xiao breathed so hard that he almost burned himself. He immediately asked, "How much is the down jacket?"
"3999, haven't you seen it?" Professor Xiao confused her.
"I haven't seen it before. The color is so dirty that I'm afraid it will get dirty. I haven't even looked at it. Why is this dress so expensive?" Professor Xiao was a little excited.
"His clothes are famous for their high prices and styles. This is really created by your students themselves." Zhu Meihong asked curiously. After all, he majored in editing and directing, so how come the students he taught were working in the clothing industry?
"She worked on it with students from the design department. I don't know the details, but she's done very well in her major. The film "The Battle of Han City" that we released this year was written and directed by her."
"That's really good." Zhu Meihong couldn't help but admire.
As they were talking, her mother-in-law came back with her grandson. When she saw Professor Xiao, she smiled and said, "You're back."
"Yes, Mom, where have you been?" Professor Xiao asked.
Grandma Xiao said: "He insisted on playing in the snow and went out for a walk."
"Dad, you're finally back."
Professor Xiao picked up the child and said, "Let Dad see if you have gained weight."
"No, no, haha."
Zhu Meihong walked into the room, took out a down jacket and handed it to her mother-in-law, saying, "Mom, this is what Lao Xiao brought back. This down jacket has softened. This one is for you."
Zhu Meihong is smart and knows how to please Xiao's mother. Xiao's mother is also an educated person, so naturally she is not like the sour mother-in-law in other families. After so many years of marriage, the Xiao family of four is quite harmonious.
Compared to the warmth of Professor Xiao's home, the same is true for Ye Qian's.
Ye Qian started preparing early on New Year's Eve, and the whole family also had a warm New Year's Day.
On the last day of the holiday, Fu Ming packed his luggage and boarded the train back to Beijing. His transfer order had already come down, and he would report to his new unit directly after the New Year. The Gu family finally got their wish and reunited in one city.
According to the original plan, Gu Jinyan's transfer order would be coming soon. After all, they would start their internships in their senior year, so it didn't matter much if they didn't go to school.
Unexpectedly, less than a month after the start of school, Gu Jinyan received his transfer order. He reported directly to the Jing City Hall in May, rising several levels from his previous position as Director of the Grain Bureau to Deputy Director of the Municipal Administration. After handing over his work, Gu Jinyan returned to Jing City early to complete the transfer procedures for his three children.
The two kindergarten children at home will go straight to elementary school after the spring semester starts in the summer. The schedule can be connected, but Ranran is a little troublesome. Ye Qian decided to let Ranran be a student in the poor class first to adapt for a while.
Gu Jinyan naturally supported Ye Qian's decision, but he had to go to work, and there was no one to pick him up from school or cook for him, so Ye Qian asked Aunt Lan to go with her.
But Ningning and Xixi had never been separated from Ranran. After Ye Qian talked to the three of them, they were reluctant to leave and hugged each other and cried. The adults in the family were amused and confused, but they were also infected by their pure feelings, so they decided to transfer the two children directly, since it was already kindergarten.
In the end, only Ye Qian was left at home, and everyone else had gone to Beijing ahead of time.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that they would never come back this time, but there was nothing else they could take with them except their own luggage. After all, people had lived there before, so everything they needed was there.
