"We haven't even sent you a wedding gift yet, and you've already sent us one?"
Despite her nagging, Zheng Qiurong didn't dare argue with the pregnant Yu Mingxiang. She smiled and accepted the gift, then pulled a thick red envelope from her pocket. "I was planning to give it to you when you left, but I can't wait any longer!"
"You've brought so many gifts, my hands are tired from accepting them!"
Yu Mingxiang accepted the red envelope and put it in her pocket with a smile.
"Why be soft?"
She hugged Zheng Qiurong's arm and laughed, "You guys send me packages to the Northeast every day, and I accept them all without hesitation. I'm perfectly justified in doing so!"
Zheng Qiurong: "Haha!"
"..."
After chatting and laughing for a while, Yu Mingxiang went to Zhao Xiujuan's house as dusk fell.
Zhao Xiujuan had just returned from her job at the educated youth settlement and was planning to take her things to Du Changzheng's house to chat with Yu Mingxiang, but unexpectedly, Yu Mingxiang arrived first.
Upon seeing the gifts that Yu Mingxiang and her husband had brought, she launched into a long nagging.
But despite their nagging, they're people who know each other inside and out and genuinely care for one another, so...
Finally, Zhao Xiujuan happily accepted the gift and then presented a red envelope.
Yu Mingxiang: ...
He chuckled as he held the red envelope.
She turned to Gu Guanhai and said, "How about it? I told you, giving them gifts wasn't a bad deal, was it? Let's do the math when we get back, maybe we'll even make a profit!"
Gu Guanhai: "..."
Seeing Yu Mingxiang radiating happiness from the inside out, I was happy for her too.
After leaving Zhao Xiujuan's house, the couple went to Li Zaiyang's house.
Li Zaiyang lived alone in the hospital's staff dormitory.
When the couple arrived with large bags and small packages, Li Zaiyang was rummaging through drawers and cupboards at home.
"What are you doing, senior brother?"
When no one answered the door, Yu Mingxiang took out the spare key she had hidden outside the door, opened it, and called out to Li Zaiyang, who was bent over inside looking for something, "Come and collect your gift!"
Upon hearing this, Li Zaiyang asked, "Why are you here?"
He said, "Wait! Wait a minute, I heard you're giving gifts and asking for red envelopes. I haven't prepared my red envelope for you yet!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang glanced disdainfully in her senior brother's direction, then pulled Gu Guanhai down to sit by herself.
"Let's sit down and ignore him!"
She smiled at her husband and said, "My senior brother is just like my own older brother, and his family is just like ours!"
Gu Guanhai: ...
Watching his wife skillfully rummage through the cupboard to brew tea, her unassuming manner made him feel no different from someone at home.
Of course, he didn't think much of it.
Because he knew about the relationship between his wife and Li Zaiyang.
Although they are not blood-related siblings, they are closer than blood-related siblings.
Especially after his wife became a widow, his brother-in-law was abroad and couldn't help much. Whenever something happened at home, Li Zaiyang, as his senior brother, was always the first to step up.
This includes his wife going to the countryside.
He even risked being punished by secretly arranging a lot of medicine for his wife.
Those medicines were later almost all delivered to the village clinic in Hedao Village.
Although this matter violated principles, Li Zaiyang later found a way to make up the share of that batch of medicine. Gu Guanhai was not a stubborn person; he only saw how genuinely good Li Zaiyang was to his wife.
A moment later.
Yu Mingxiang and Gu Guanhai have both drunk a cup of tea.
After rummaging through drawers and cabinets, Li Zaiyang finally emerged, dusting off his clothes and carrying a stack of bankbooks.
"Here! This is a wedding gift for you!"
He said to the two of them, "Life in the countryside is not easy for you. Xiao Gu has lost his job and will definitely face a lot of pressure raising children in the future. This money is what I have saved over the years. I am only eating my fill and have no family to worry about. I have no need for the money. I'm giving it all to you!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang and Gu Guanhai exclaimed, "!!!"
They were stunned when they saw the thick stack of bankbooks pushed in front of them.
I flipped one over and took a quick look.
Four zeros!
