The gift given by A was changed into a different one and given to B. She had done this gift-giving routine for her mother in her previous life, but these items were given to her by Gu Qinglin, so she wanted to take them back.
"We can't just take other people's things. Who gave it to you?"
Mother Ye looked at Ye Jiaying suspiciously, wondering if her daughter was also dating someone outside?
It has to be said that Ye's mother revealed the truth, but Ye Jiaying's expression was calm, so she couldn't see any flaws.
"My roommate also gave me gifts last year."
Ye Jiaying naturally pulled out Qiao Na to take the blame. Last year, Qiao Na did buy a gift for her to bring back.
However, this year, because she often ran out with Gu Qinglin, Qiao Na was angry and did not give her the money, but it did not stop her from using her as a shield.
"Then we can't always take other people's things. You should also be more kind to your roommates."
Although Ye's mother was a little suspicious, she had no evidence and could only remind her daughter not to take other people's things all the time.
"Got it. Has Godmother's package arrived?"
In order to prevent Ye's mother from thinking too much, she quickly changed the subject.
"Oh, you see, I forgot about it. I sent it. It came a few days ago. I put it away."
When her daughter reminded her, Ye's mother suddenly remembered that on the afternoon when her daughter and her aunt went to Beijing, her godmother sent a large box of things. She opened it and looked to see if there was anything perishable. When she found nothing, she put it away.
Now after hearing what my daughter said, I quickly asked Ye's father to move the things out.
The last time Ye Jiaying came back, her mother packed up the things they had prepared for her godmother and sent them to Hai City.
Although the Zheng family is well-off and does not lack them for these things, once they become godparents, there must be a reciprocal relationship, otherwise the relationship will not last long.
The things they prepared were not expensive, but they were their thoughtfulness.
When the things were brought up, Ye Xiaomei also came over.
Aunt Zheng prepared a whole box full of things.
The top layer is filled with beautifully packaged desserts, chocolate snacks, specialty smoked meats, and various dried seafood.
In the middle was a piece of cloth wrapped in kraft paper. When I opened it and took a look, I found that the material was soft and delicate. It was obviously for Ye Jiaying. She couldn't wear this kind of cloth when working in the village.
At the bottom were a few ready-made garments. When I took them out, I saw that they were the puffer jackets that were all the rage in the 1980s and 1990s.
There are three pieces of clothing, judging by their sizes, they belong to Ye's mother, Ye Jiaying, and Ye Xiaomei.
There are two cotton coats under the jacket, which are for Ye's father and Ye's brother.
The whole family is taken care of, which is very thoughtful.
"Shall we pack up these snacks and let Xiaowei take them to the girl's house?"
After counting the things, Ye's mother looked at her daughter inquiringly. The other party only recognized her as a godparent, so she had to ask her if she wanted to give these things to someone else.
Ye Jiaying nodded. She had prepared part of the return gift for her godmother, and another part was prepared by Ye's mother. She had the final say on the return gift.
After working for a long time and preparing the gifts for Brother Ye's visit, Ye's mother finally felt relieved.
I took all the things to Brother Ye's room and put them there so that I could prepare for the New Year with peace of mind.
This year's New Year's Eve dinner is very sumptuous.
Mother Ye took some of the good things sent by her godparents and brought back by her daughter to Uncle Ye's house. Uncle Ye's family also took out the New Year gifts brought by Ding Chenxuan.
The New Year’s Eve dinner is very lively.
Upon learning that Mr. Ye also had a girlfriend and would visit her family after the New Year, Grandma Ye was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. The Ye family had double happiness this year.
After being happy, everyone turned their attention to the third cousin, Ye Jiamin’s third brother.
He had a girlfriend before and said they were planning to get married after the Chinese New Year last year. Later, he started doing business with Ye Jiamin. For some unknown reason, the wedding date was postponed and they later broke up.
This year, his younger sister and younger brother both have partners, and as an older brother, he has no choice but to get married.
Ye Jiaying was happily eating melon beside him.
Only then did I know why my third cousin didn’t get married.
My third cousin and the girl also met through a blind date. They were engaged and preparing to get married.
As a result, after Ye Jiamin graduated and started her own business, her third cousin went to help her because she was too busy.
The girl's family found out about it and felt that since the third cousin was rich now, the betrothal gift could not be what was agreed upon at the beginning. They wanted to raise the price. It was not impossible to negotiate for a higher betrothal gift, but for some reason the girl's family asked for an exorbitant amount.
In fact, the third cousin didn't have much money. Ye Jiamin was in the rising period of her career at that time, and she had to invest all the money she earned. The girl's family didn't believe it and refused to listen to his nice words. The two quarreled and broke up after arguing.
This kind of thing can only be said to be destined not to happen.
My third cousin broke off the engagement. It is said that he has been depressed for a while and is now unwilling to go on blind dates.
But he is not young anymore, and my aunt is anxious. His future brother-in-law has come to discuss the wedding date, but my brother still has no partner, so it is not a good idea to refuse.
As a bystander, Ye Jiaying felt the pressure from his third cousin.
Finally, his aunt said that he couldn't agree to the blind date just because his sister got married first because he was not married.
…
Time flies and it is the day when the second brother is going to meet Chen Miao's parents.
Ye's mother got up early in the morning and got busy dressing up Ye's second brother neatly.
Ye's father took him to the bus station and he took a bus to Chen's house.
The Chen family lives in a residential building on the outskirts of Beijing, close to the city center.
He told his family about meeting his parents a few years ago, and no one objected. So he called Chen Miao to confirm the time for the visit.
The situation of the Chen family is a bit complicated. Chen Miao has two older brothers, a younger brother and a younger sister. They are from a working-class family. However, his eldest brother went to the countryside a few years ago. When he returned to the city later, he married a local wife and lived a good life, so he didn't come back.
At the beginning of last year, my eldest brother’s child suddenly fell seriously ill. We spent a lot of money but he eventually died.
My eldest brother and his wife were so sad that whenever they saw something they would think of their child's illness and painful death at home. Both he and his wife were in a bad mental state.
Chen Miao's parents went to the countryside and persuaded him to come back.
The house allocated to the Chen family is a three-bedroom apartment. Before my eldest brother went to the countryside, the family was already living in a cramped place. Now that he is back, the place is even more crowded.
Fortunately, my second sister-in-law's family is well-off, and she used her connections to get a separate house and moved out before my eldest brother came back.
When the eldest brother went to the countryside to support his younger siblings, his parents felt they owed him something, so they gave up their jobs to their eldest son and daughter-in-law and took on odd jobs at home.
Since the eldest brother came back, the second brother and his wife rarely bring the children back.
It’s not that I don’t understand the pain of my eldest brother and sister-in-law losing their son. When they came back, my eldest sister-in-law started crying when she saw the child. She was emotionally unstable and scared the child.
It's okay once or twice, but it's been half a year and the two of them still can't get over it.
He even saw that his second brother's children were lively and healthy, and asked why other people's children didn't get sick, but their children did.
The second sister-in-law heard this and had a big quarrel with the eldest brother and his wife.
When the child was sick, Chen's second brother and Chen Miao gave a lot of money. Later, when he came back, they didn't ask him to pay it back. As a result, he said such curse-like words, which hurt the relationship between brothers.
During that period, the Chen family was in chaos.
One of the reasons why Chen Miao chose to date Ye Jiawei was because he was cheerful every day, which made people feel good just by looking at him.
