On the way, I was still thinking, when will the school have holidays? It doesn't allow me to sleep well every day.

When I went to school, I unexpectedly realized my dream came true.

"Linlin, because the weather is getting colder, the school is going to give the children a holiday starting tomorrow."

Hu Yingying packed her things, came out with Dandan, and said to Li Lin.

"Really? That's great. I was just wondering when the kids would have a holiday. This is a dream come true."

Li Lin said, picking up her son's schoolbag with one hand, and said to Hu Yingying: "Sister-in-law, the Chinese New Year is less than a month away. Let's go to the city in a couple of days to take a stroll and prepare some New Year's goods, shall we?"

Hu Yingying nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, but it will take two days. I finally got some rest, so I have to sleep in for two more days."

"That's settled then. Say goodbye to my aunt and we're home."

Li Lin arrived downstairs at home, asked her son to say goodbye to her sister-in-law, and then took her son upstairs to go home.

Unexpectedly, when I opened the door, Fang Mingyi was at home.

Li Lin looked at the man sitting by the stove and asked in surprise: "Why are you back so early?"

"I was on duty last night and came back early today."

Fang Mingyi said, standing up to take off his son's cotton-padded jacket, and then said: "I've boiled some water. Shall we cook noodles or something else?"

"I'll make whatever you want to eat."

As Li Lin spoke, she took off her cotton jacket, put on a sweater, put on an apron and went to the kitchen to prepare cooking.

First, scoop out a pot of rice and then steam it.

Then he took out a fish and prepared to stew the fish with cabbage, vermicelli and tofu.

It comes with soup and vegetables, and it's very hot when eaten with rice.

One pot of food is enough for their family of three, and they don’t need to cook any other dishes.

Li Lin also planned that if she could cook for herself in the future, she would do so. It was not good for her health to always eat prepared meals in shopping malls.

On the other hand, her children are growing up, so she should try to go to shopping malls as little as possible.

After the meal was ready, the three members of the family were so full that their bellies were bulging.

After Fang Mingyi picked up the table and tidied it up, he went into the room and took out a package and said, "My mom sent it to me. Open it and see what's inside."

Li Lin went to get the scissors, opened the package, looked at the three blankets inside, and raised her eyebrows.

The rest all belong to little Dandan.

Li Lin opened the letter and saw that her mother-in-law said that she didn't know whether Dandan had grown taller or not, so she bought a bunch of clothes based on her guesswork.

She also knew that it was cold in Northeast China, so she prepared winter cotton jackets, cotton pants, sweaters, and a pair of sheepskin boots for her children.

She saw it in the Friendship Store. It was very delicate, beautiful and warm, so she bought it and had it mailed to her.

They also told Li Lin not to always worry about them and not to send them anything.

Just keep it for yourself, they have everything they need in Kyoto.

She also said she would give one blanket each to her sister-in-law and her mother.

It can be considered as a New Year's gift they prepared.

After reading the letter, Li Lin lowered her head and thought for a while before saying, "I will go to the city tomorrow and mail some New Year's gifts to my parents."

"You just need to protect yourself, and the rest is up to you."

Fang Mingyi reached out and rubbed his wife's hair, saying with a smile on his face.

"Then you can take your son to try on the clothes. I'll go get the blanket for mom and sister-in-law."

As Li Lin spoke, she put on her cotton jacket, changed her shoes, held her blanket, opened the door and went downstairs.
