After getting off the car, Xia Jinyuan went to pick up the gifts from the driver who had been waiting for more than ten minutes. The driver opened the trunk and explained in detail each time an item was taken out, including who it belonged to, the old gentleman, and whether it was for Chief Engineer Fu. He spoke one by one until Ye Jian was stunned.
The whole family, including her, also received gifts.
Xia Jinyuan didn't think it was too much at all. His third uncle gave him too many things like ginseng and deer antlers. The driver counted them carefully and he listened attentively. Fortunately, although there were many items, they were small and did not take up much space.
The driver then relayed the old lady's words, which roughly meant that when her grandson's wife came over, the grandmother would have to give her a very big red envelope, and would also have asked the uncles, aunts, and other relatives to give them big red envelopes as well.
Even though the driver relayed the story, Ye Jian blushed when she heard it.
After ordering, the driver handed the car keys to Xia Jinyuan, ready to help put the counted gifts back into the trunk. Seeing that it was getting late, Xia Jinyuan asked the commander to go first and he would put it away himself.
Dangui Garden covers a large area and all the villas are hidden in the woods. It is impossible for the two to walk home, so they have to take a car.
After the driver left, Ye Jian looked at Xia Jinyuan, who had twisted his hands so politely that his arms had to be in the shape of an "eight", and said, "It's too much, and too expensive. Did the old lady empty her house?"
"It's not much. The car can drive directly into Dangui Garden. Grandma has shown restraint by not filling up the back seat." With the gift in hand, Xia Jinyuan felt more confident when speaking. It would be inappropriate to go to the door empty-handed...
As he spoke, he put the gifts he had just counted back into the trunk one by one, "It's cold, wait for me in the car."
His hands were twisted until there was no space left, but he still said it was not much. Ye Jian took the gift from his other hand and said, "It's already scary enough. When my dad sees you later, he will think you came here directly to propose marriage."
"I would like to propose marriage, but you don't agree."
"Hurry up and stop talking nonsense."
"You brought it up first, and you didn't let me speak first? That's unreasonable."
She was being unreasonable. Ye Jian snorted lightly, with a hint of joy rising from her brows.
Mr. Fu and Mr. Fu's father didn't know that Ye Jian would come back, so the grandfather and his wife, along with Uncle Fu, celebrated the New Year at home, and they didn't feel it was lonely. On New Year's Eve, the neighbors all came to invite the family to have a New Year's Eve dinner. On New Year's Day, many neighbors came to pay New Year's greetings, as well as scientists from the Academy of Aeronautics and the old lady's former students. The house was extremely lively.
Today is the third day of the Chinese New Year, which is also the old lady's birthday. Everyone knows that the old man will not receive guests on this day. After two days of bustle, the old man and Mr. Fu ate a bowl of vegetarian noodles and went to the chess room to play chess. The third day of the Chinese New Year passed quietly.
It was already nine o'clock in the evening, and the housekeeper, Mr. Fu, was preparing Chinese medicine for the old man to wash his feet in order to dispel the cold and dampness so that he could sleep better at night.
As winter approaches, the old man still feels some dull pain in his legs, which he suffered in his early years. Medicine doesn't work, but soaking his feet in Chinese medicine can provide some relief. Even the herbs are purely wild, and the medicinal properties are good and long-lasting, which helps the old man feel less pain at night.
The medicine had been boiled and put into the wooden basin, and then a thick cotton bath towel was covered on it. Uncle Fu wiped his hands and prepared to go to the chess room to invite the old man out, when the doorbell rang...
Since moving into Dangui Garden, no guests have ever come to pay New Year's greetings on the third day of the Lunar New Year, let alone come late at night, except when the old man has not retired yet, or when there is an emergency in the Aerospace Institute that needs his handling, which would worry the old man.
