Yun Duoduo was startled when she saw that pile of things.
There were at least twenty boxes of all sizes, and I had no idea what was inside.
Ye Wenyue touched the boxes and said softly, "These are things that your father and I prepare for your birthday every year. We thought that one day we could give them to you by hand. We've finally waited for this day."
After saying that, Ye Wenyue gestured for Yun Duoduo to open the boxes.
After hearing this, Yun Duoduo first opened the box that was closest to her.
The first box contained a bright red tiger-head hat with white fringed edges. The style is outdated now, but you can tell that the tiger-head hat wasn't bought; it was sewn by hand, stitch by stitch.
The second box contained a pair of small red cloth shoes.
The stitches on the shoes aren't perfectly neat, but they're very dense, showing the care the shoemaker put into making them.
Next, there were about ten boxes, all containing clothes, shoes, scarves, and other items that were clearly handmade.
Then, Li Zhengyang sighed and said, "Duoduo, your mother made all of this for you."
“Every year when your birthday is approaching, your mom will carefully prepare these things. Actually, she is not very good at sewing, but she still insists on making these things by hand.”
Yun Duoduo knew that Ye Wenyue's family was wealthy in Haicheng. She had been pampered since childhood, so she didn't know many of the things that women usually do, because she used to have people serving her.
Even now, Ye Wenyue probably isn't very good at needlework.
But she insisted on doing these things for herself, which really shows how much she cares about herself.
Thinking of all this, Yun Duoduo's eyes also reddened. She reached out and hugged Ye Wenyue and Li Zhengyang, choking with emotion, "Mom and Dad, thank you..."
At this moment, Yun Duoduo didn't know what to say, but the happiness in her heart was indescribable.
In her past life, she was lonely and unfortunate.
Perhaps this is God's compensation to her, allowing her to have such wonderful parents, and even twice as many.
Yun Duoduo's hug eased much of the awkwardness between them. Ye Wenyue patted Yun Duoduo's back and said softly, "When I was doing these things, I was thinking that if I found you, you would have clothes and shoes to wear. I didn't expect you to be so grown up now, and these things are no longer needed."
Hearing this, Yun Duoduo smiled and put everything away. "Mom, these things won't be useless. Keep them all for my future children to wear. These are all handmade by you, much sturdier than those sold outside."
Ye Wenyue really liked hearing that. She immediately nodded and put those things away. "Yes, keep them all. You never know when we might need them."
Yun Duoduo was a little embarrassed. Actually, she and Yan Junting had already discussed it and decided to let nature take its course and give birth if she got pregnant.
She is not opposed to having children.
After putting these away, Ye Wenyue took out a large box from the cabinet and placed it in front of Yun Duoduo. "And these are the dowry that Mom prepared for you. Mom's biggest regret is that I wasn't by your side when you got married, but the things that need to be prepared cannot be missing."
Yun Duoduo opened the box and was dazzled by what was inside.
Several sets of gold jewelry were placed on top of the box.
They have necklaces, earrings, and bracelets, all in the most fashionable styles available at the time.
These things weren't cheap at the time; some people might not be able to afford even after a lifetime of hard work.
Finally, Ye Wenyue also gave Yun Duoduo the key to a house, "and this courtyard, which is also part of your dowry. You can keep the key. I'll have your second brother take you to see it tomorrow. It's very close to your shop. When you have time, have someone tidy it up. You can either live there yourself or rent it out to someone else, it's up to you."
Yun Duoduo's willingness to return to the Li family was never because of the Li family's social standing, nor did she ever expect to gain any material benefits.
However, Ye Wenyue had already said that those things were part of her dowry, so she couldn't refuse them; after all, they were her parents' kind gesture.
She refused to accept the house, telling Ye Wenyue, "Mom, I've settled in here and have a place to live."
"Besides, Jun Ting and I plan to stay in the military compound for the time being. You can keep these things for yourselves. Your older brothers will need to get married in the future, so it's the same to leave them for them."
Ye Wenyue insisted and stuffed the key directly into Yun Duoduo's hand. "These are things I bought years ago. They can only be yours. I won't give them to anyone else. Besides, your brother and the others don't lack these things. I'm telling you to keep them, so keep them. Otherwise, I'll get angry."
After a pause, Ye Wenyue continued, "Our family isn't as wealthy as your aunt's, but I've saved up all this stuff for you. Your dad and I both have salaries, and we don't lack anything. What use would we have for that house?"
Seeing this, Li Zhengyang patted Yun Duoduo's head and said softly, "Yes, it's a small token of our parents' affection. What daughter would refuse her parents' kindness?"
Yun Duoduo couldn't refuse any longer, so she accepted it.
Just then, Li Dongyun knocked on the door. "Second Brother, Third Brother is here."
Li Zhengyang nodded, pointed outside, and said to Yun Duoduo, "Come on, let's go out and meet your aunt's family."
Ye Wenyue helped Yun Duoduo pack her things, and then they went out together.
As soon as they stepped into the courtyard, Yan Junting was waiting for them outside.
However, as they reached the gate, they faintly heard a woman's voice coming from inside the courtyard, "Whose bicycle is that outside? I......"
Upon hearing that voice, Yun Duoduo instantly guessed who her aunt was; no wonder Yan Junting had said those things before.
She and Yan Junting exchanged a glance, and Yan Junting nodded at her.
Yun Duoduo's brows twitched slightly, and she went out with Ye Wenyue and Li Zhengyang.
Sure enough, her aunt was none other than the person who had argued with her over the bicycle at the mall before.
The mother and daughter were her aunt Li Dongxiu and her cousin Wang Shuangshuang.
Accompanying them was Li Dongxiu's husband, Wang Weiguo.
Wang Weiguo was short and thin, wore glasses, and had a shrewd look in his eyes when he looked at people; he seemed like the kind of person who was very calculating.
Indeed, birds of a feather flock together; none of these three are kind-hearted people.
At the same time, Li Dongxiu and her daughter also saw Yun Duoduo and her husband, and their faces immediately fell.
Li Dongxiu walked over directly, pointed at Yun Duoduo and her husband, and asked with a frown, "What are you doing here?"
Li Dongxiu's attitude surprised everyone. Then Ye Wenyue came out and introduced her to them, "Dongxiu, this is Duoduo, my daughter."
"Duoduo, this is your aunt, your uncle, and your cousin Shuangshuang."
