At this moment, Ruan Qin had already brought over several beautifully packaged small gift boxes and gave one to each of Xiao Ruanruan, Su Qianqian, Su Xiaowu, and Su Lei. "These are gifts that your sister prepared for you. Open them and see if you like them."
Xiao Ruanruan opened the beautiful gift box. The gifts inside were not expensive; they were small animals made of straw. Xiao Ruanruan's gift was a kitten, Su Xixi's was a rabbit, and Su Lei and Su Xiaowu's were both puppies.
They are all woven so vividly.
"Wow, the kitten is so pretty! Sister Ruanqin, did you make this?" Little Ruanruan's obsidian-like eyes sparkled as she looked at the adorable straw kitten, her eyes filled with surprise.
Ruan Qin nodded slightly, a little embarrassed, and said, "Yes, I knitted it myself, Little Softie, do you like it?"
Actually, she knew that although she had put all her effort into the gift, it was somewhat shabby, since these handmade trinkets really weren't worth much money.
Her family was just an ordinary family. She was pushed down the stairs by Wen Ya and became a vegetable. Although Xiao Genggeng took the blame for Wen Ya and compensated her with money.
But after the truth came out, she immediately decided with her parents to sell the house and return the money to Xiao Genggeng.
The remaining money was originally intended to pay for Xiao Yiyi's medical expenses, but Xiao Yiyi did not accept it at the time. This time, she happened to come to the capital for pre-exam training and brought all the money with her.
Therefore, she didn't have much money to buy gifts for Xiaoruan and the others.
I could only make these little trinkets by hand as gifts.
Little Ruanruan noticed Ruanqin's well-concealed embarrassment, reached out and hugged Ruanqin's neck, and gave Ruanqin a kiss on her fair and tender face. "Ruanqin, your hands are so amazing! You can make such cute little animals. Can you teach Ruanruan how to make them?"
Su Xixi had just finished admiring the straw rabbit she had received, and was marveling at how beautifully it was made, when she heard Xiao Ruanruan's words and quickly came over, "Sister Ruanqin, I want to learn too! Teach me! Teach me!"
Before Xiao Ruanruan and the other little ones returned, Ruan Qin had already planned to leave because Xiao Yiyi was not at home, and the other members of the Xiao and Su families were unwilling to accept the medical expenses she brought on behalf of Xiao Yiyi.
But now...
Ruan Qin looked at Xiao Ruanruan...
That adorable little dumpling, with its big, dark grape-like eyes staring at you so expectantly—who could resist that?
Moreover, Su Xixi was also shaking her arm, begging her to stay and teach her and Xiao Ruanruan. She simply couldn't bring herself to refuse.
Grandma and Aunt, who had just tried to persuade Ruan Qin to stay but failed, quickly seized the opportunity to speak up.
"Xiao Ruan, look how much our little Ruan Ruan and Qian Qian like your gift. Why don't you stay and teach them a bit, and have dinner at our house before you leave?"
As soon as her grandmother said that, Fang Ning immediately said, "Mom, you forgot, Xiao Ruan just arrived in Beijing and doesn't have any relatives there. She just said she's staying in a hotel."
Xiao Ruan, how about this? It's not safe for a girl like you to stay in a hotel alone. Why don't you stay at our place tonight, and Geng Geng will go with you to look for a place tomorrow?
"You're studying acting in Beijing, and you'll be learning for several months before the exam. Living in a hotel the whole time isn't a long-term solution."
Ruan Qin told her grandmother and aunt that the hotel she stayed in was actually the cheapest kind of youth hostel she stayed in in order to save money.
She was already a little hesitant before coming to the Su family, because her family wasn't wealthy and she was worried that if she visited the Su family, people would misunderstand that she was deliberately trying to curry favor with them.
But the Su and Xiao families have been so kind to her, and now that she's already in the capital, it seems even more inappropriate that she doesn't come to visit them.
Moreover, her parents had instructed her to pay Dr. Xiao the medical expenses that had saved her life, so after much deliberation, she contacted Xiao Genggeng and came to the Su family home.
I originally intended to offer my New Year's greetings, pay the medical bills to Dr. Xiao, and then leave.
But now...
Everyone is so enthusiastic about inviting her to stay; if she refuses again, it would seem like she's being ungrateful and heartless.
So, under the expectant gazes of Xiao Ruanruan and Su Xixi, she nodded with a sweet smile and agreed, "Okay, then I'll trouble Grandma and Auntie."
Xia Lanxin and Fang Ning both beamed with joy. "No trouble at all. You've come all this way, so make yourself at home. Don't be so polite."
Xiao Ruanruan and Su Xixi quickly pulled Ruan Qin upstairs to learn how to make small animals, because Ruan Qin had just said that you don't necessarily have to use grass to make small animals; you can also use the rope used for making Chinese knots.
So the servants in the house had already prepared ropes for them.
Once Ruan Qin's figure disappeared, Xiao Genggeng looked up helplessly. "Grandma, Mom, can I go back to my room now?"
Fang Ning glared at Xiao Genggeng with exasperation, "Why are you going back to your room? Hurry up and go to the kitchen to cut up some fruit for Xiao Ruan, Xiao Ruanruan, and Qianqian."
Xiao Genggeng: ...
He, as the son, knew exactly what his mother was thinking.
He could only sigh silently and helplessly remind his mother, "Mom, I'm only 17 years old and still in high school."
Fang Ning stared at him, then suddenly sneered, "Heh, I think I should take you to get your eyes checked. How could I, Fang Ning, have given birth to such a blind son?"
