Seeing that Zhao Xi understood, Lin Qing smiled and gave her a reminder.
"Okay, I understand, but I'm not going to worry about it! When your third brother comes home tonight, I'll talk to him and let him handle these things. He's good at it."
After hearing Lin Qing's reminder, Zhao Xi smiled and nodded.
Seeing this, Lin Qing couldn't help but shake his head. In fact, Zhao Xi was very smart, but she only cared about things that interested her. She was never interested in things like selling goods. Back when she was in Chaoyang Brigade, she never sold goods either. She liked to go hunting in the mountains, and she would have her third brother sell what she caught. The only things that interested her, besides food, were things related to martial arts, such as fighting and killing.
"Alright, let's take the gifts we brought for the children to the backyard! And these are the gifts I brought for you! There are also your appliances and goods here! But we'll distribute these when Sister Xiang and the others come tomorrow!"
After Lin Qing finished speaking, she found the gifts she had brought back, and then she and Zhao Xi walked towards the backyard with the gifts.
"Mom, what are you holding?"
As soon as Lin Qing and Zhao Xi entered the backyard, they were spotted by the children, who surrounded them and asked Lin Qing questions out of curiosity.
"This is a gift for you. How about it? Surprised?"
Lin Qing looked at the children with a smug expression and said.
"Really? That's great! Our gifts have arrived, thank you, Mom..."
"Thank you, Auntie..."
The children were even happier to hear this. They surrounded Lin Qing and Zhao Xi, each with an expectant look on their face.
Looking at the expectant little faces, Lin Qing couldn't help but smile. She then handed out the gifts to the children one by one, and they were immediately overjoyed.
Gu Ziyao and Lin Shishi hugged their rag dolls tightly, unable to put them down.
The boys, meanwhile, were jumping around excitedly with their game consoles.
"Mom, is this for you?"
Lin Qing picked up a blue dress, handed it to Dong Xiulan, and said with a smile.
"And there's mine too! You're such a spendthrift."
While scolding Lin Qing for wasting money, Dong Xiulian was also beaming with joy.
She opened the dress Lin Qing had handed her and gently stroked it.
"Mom, this is for Dad."
Lin Qing then handed Dong Xiulan another set of clothes.
"Good...good...your dad must be overjoyed now."
"Mom, why don't we go back and give it a try?"
Seeing Dong Xiulan's excited expression, Zhao Xi smiled and made the suggestion.
Upon hearing this, Dong Xiulan immediately said happily, "Okay, I'll go back and give it a try."
After saying that, he couldn't wait to grab the clothes and go back to his room.
"Xixi, this is for you, and these are for the children."
Zhao Xi took the clothes from Lin Qing and said happily, "Thank you, Qingqing! I'll try them on when I get back!"
After saying that, Zhao Xi couldn't wait to grab the clothes and go back.
Lin Qing smiled and shook her head, then sorted out the clothes and gifts for her parents-in-law and put them in a box.
Then he put the clothes for his uncle on top and carried them back to the bedroom.
"Qingqing, is it pretty?"
After Lin Qing returned the clothes, she went back to the pavilion. She had just sat down when Dong Xiulan returned to the pavilion wearing the new clothes.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qing looked up and saw that Dong Xiulan seemed like a completely different person; the blue dress fit her perfectly.
The neckline of the dress was trimmed with delicate white lace, like a blooming lily, which made her neck appear even longer and more elegant.
The cuffs were slightly tightened, yet still lively, swaying gently in the breeze. The skirt hem fell to mid-calf, and a matching belt was tied around her waist, perfectly accentuating her slightly plump middle-aged figure, highlighting her slender waistline while maintaining a dignified and elegant demeanor.
The dress was a deep, clear blue, as pure as the sky, which complemented the happy smile on her face. She looked several years younger and exuded a unique charm that caught everyone's eye.
"Mom, you're so beautiful!"
Lin Qing had always known that Dong Xiulan was quite beautiful; in recent years, thanks to the nourishment of her spiritual spring water, she looked even younger than her peers.
Dong Xiulan had never dressed up properly before, but today's outfit even stunned Lin Qing.
"Isn't it too flashy? I'm already this old, isn't this dress too youthful?"
Dong Xiulan looked at her clothes and said shyly, but she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.
"Mom, you don't look old at all! This dress suits you so well, it looks beautiful...it looks amazing..."
Lin Qing stepped forward, gently took Dong Xiulan's arm, and said with a smile.
"You child..."
Dong Xiulan was beaming from Lin Qing's praise, and she carefully sat down on the stone bench.
"Qingqing, Mom, look, don't you think my new clothes are pretty?"
Dong Xiulan was looking down at her clothes when she heard Zhao Xi's voice coming from afar.
Dong Xiulan looked up and saw Zhao Xi wearing a white short-sleeved shirt with the collar casually open, revealing a small patch of pinkish-white skin.
She paired it with light blue jeans, the hem of which just reached her ankles, making her legs look straight and long.
She wore a high ponytail, with a few wisps of hair playfully falling around her cheeks. Her eyes sparkled, and she ran into the pavilion full of anticipation.
"It looks great! It looks really good on you, Xixi. This dress suits you perfectly."
Lin Qing sincerely praised Zhao Xi, saying that Zhao Xi didn't like skirts, so Lin Qing chose a combination of jeans and a short-sleeved shirt for Zhao Xi, and sure enough, Xi Xi looked especially good in it.
"They look good, but aren't these pants a bit too small?"
Dong Xiulan looked at Zhao Xi's tight jeans and asked in confusion.
"It's not small, it's just like that, Mom. This is the popular style of dressing in Hong Kong. Jeans are meant to fit snugly against the body so that the legs look thin and long."
Lin Qing explained with a smile.
Dong Xiulan nodded upon hearing this. She felt that it was better for the pants to be looser, as it was too embarrassing to wear them so tightly. Although she didn't understand why such pants were popular in Hong Kong, she didn't offer any opinion. She firmly believed that she shouldn't concern herself with things that young people didn't understand.
“Xixi, actually, many of the clothes that came in this time would suit you too. However, the jeans that came in this time are a little thicker than the ones you're wearing, but I think they would definitely look good on you.”
"Yes, I saw it. There are a few outfits that I really like. I'll keep one of each."
Zhao Xi smiled and nodded in agreement.
