Early the next morning, Fan Hua and Geng Ailing came to the Zheng family with the New Year gifts they had made themselves.
Because the Zheng family has a large population, the New Year gifts that Fan Hua and her family brought to the Zheng family are three times as much as those brought to the other families. Geng Ailing's hands were full. As for Fan Hua, her belly was so big that Geng Ailing certainly would not let her carry things.
After there was a knock on the door, a young man came to open it. He was tall, with regular features and a mole on the top of his right eyebrow. This mole not only did not affect his appearance, but instead gave people a feeling of righteousness, making people feel that he was steady and responsible.
Fan Hua guessed that this person should be Zheng Ze'an. It turned out that a powerful person has an extraordinary temperament.
"You must be Comrade Zheng Ze'an, right? We are Fan Lihua and Geng Ailing, friends of Zheng Zening. We are also tenants of your house on Wusi Road. We wanted to come over today to give you some New Year gifts."
After hearing this, Zheng Ze'an immediately smiled gently and made way for them. "I've heard of you two comrades a long time ago. Please come in!"
Fan Hua and Geng Ailing followed Zheng Ze'an into the house. When everyone saw them, they stood up and greeted them enthusiastically. The most enthusiastic one was Jiang Wenli!
She enthusiastically went forward and helped Fan Hua sit down. "Lihua, Ailing, I didn't expect you to come today! Lihua, it's been such a short time since we last met, and your belly has become so big. It looks like you're about to give birth."
Fan Hua was careful and gently stroked her belly, "Aunt Jiang, it's only seven months. It's probably because I have twins in my belly, so it looks bigger."
Fan Hua continued to ask, "Where's Uncle Zheng? Is he not at home today?"
"His company had some urgent matters today, so he was called away!"
Fan Hua nodded and said sincerely, "Aunt Jiang, since we came to Yangcheng, my sister Ailing and I have been taken care of by your family. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. This year is our first time to celebrate the New Year in Yangcheng. I don't know what the New Year customs are here, so I made some special food and brought it over for you to try. I hope you like it!"
Geng Ailing, who had just put the New Year gift on the table, immediately nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, Aunt Jiang, your family is the benefactors of Lihua and me. Fortunately, I met you on the train!"
Jiang Wenli was really happy to hear their words. These two girls were both sensible and motivated, and she liked them more the more she got to know them!
"Speaking of benefactors, you are also my benefactors. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be the editor-in-chief of a newspaper. And this woolen coat of mine was given to me by you last month. I don't know how many people will envy me when I wear it!"
Wu Qiyue, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zheng family, who was sitting nearby, couldn't help but interrupt, "So you are the ones who made clothes for my mother. You have really skillful hands, and your work is so beautiful. I was just saying yesterday that I would find an opportunity to have you make one for me, too!"
Fan Hua smiled as she looked at the girl in front of her who had two dimples when she smiled. She guessed that this was Zheng Zean’s wife Wu Qiyue, and replied, “Sister-in-law, we are here today. I will design a set for you in a while. See if you like it.”
Wu Qiyue immediately smiled and started chatting with Fan Hua and Geng Ailing...
Zheng Zening and Zheng Ze'an just sat aside and watched them chat with a smile, unable to get a word in.
Seeing that the three were chatting happily, Jiang Wenli went to the kitchen to cut fruit for them.
"Lihua, Ailing, you are from Jibei Province. Why did you come so far to Yangcheng instead of going to Beijing which is very close to Jibei Province?" Wu Qiuyue asked curiously.
Fan Hua did not directly answer Wu Qiyue's question, but smiled and changed the subject, "Then why did my sister-in-law go all the way to Beijing to study?"
