"Mom, hurry up and brush your teeth and wash your face. My brother and I will wait for you downstairs." Xiao Ran said, holding her brother's hand and going downstairs to find her aunt.
"Have you finished your homework? Is there anything you don't understand?" Taohua, who was sitting in the living room reading a book, saw the two little ones coming downstairs, thinking that they had just finished their homework.
"Yes, Xiaoran finished her homework early and went to bed with her mother, so she came down late." Xiaoran took the milk brought by Grandma Zhou and took a sip.
"Second sister-in-law is up too?" Taohua looked upstairs and saw no one coming out.
"Mom is washing up." Xiao Che saw his aunt looking for someone and explained
When she came down from Nanqiao, Aunt Zhou had already put the food on the table, and four people, big and small, were waiting for her at the table.
Nanqiao was very ashamed. She was so old, but she still made the whole family wait for her because she stayed in bed.
Nanqiao coughed lightly, sat down at the table, and started a conversation, "Taohua, wait for Xiaoran and Xiaoche to wake up from their nap this afternoon, and I'll go shopping with you, and then go to school to register."
"Okay, but I don't have anything to buy. I heard that schools now provide bedding."
"Buy one set. The ones the school gives you are very thin. I have some bedding here. I've prepared a few sets for you. The quality is better than what you can buy." In the past two years, students who have been admitted to universities can choose to buy bedding from the school. After all, there are students from all over the world taking the college entrance examination. It is impossible to ask everyone to bring their own bedding. For this reason, the school simply made a batch of them. It is much cheaper in terms of time and the quality is also acceptable.
"Okay, thank you sister-in-law, I'll pack my things later and take them to school together."
"Okay, take whatever you want. Take the light items. For the big items, I'll have your second brother deliver them to you when we go to school together tomorrow."
"Okay," Taohua turned her head and winked at Nanqiao.
"Aunt Zhou, I'll take Xiaoran, Xiaoche and Taohua out this afternoon. You can rest at home in the afternoon. You don't have to follow us." Aunt Zhou has been working hard since she came to their side. She basically works all year round, so Nanqiao will take the children out alone from time to time to let her rest.
"Let's go together. How are you going to take care of two children and carry things?" Aunt Zhou knew Nanqiao had good intentions, but she was still a little worried.
"It's okay, you can play cards with your sisters or something, don't worry about us," Nanqiao said cheerfully. Over the past few years, Aunt Zhou's personality has become much more cheerful, not as restrained as when she first came to their house. In the past few years of living in Shanghai, Aunt Zhou has gotten along well with several neighbors around. Occasionally, when Nanqiao and Sheng Yanchuan are at home and are not in a hurry to cook, they will make an appointment to play mahjong to kill time.
"That's right, Grandma Zhou, don't worry, my brother and I will be obedient, and we can also help mom and aunt with work." Xiaoran was looking forward to going out with her mother, and her voice was filled with joy.
"Okay then, come back early and I'll make soup for you in the evening."
"Okay, thank you Aunt Zhou," Taohua thanked
After lunch, Xiaoran and Xiaoche went to take a nap without being urged, thinking that if they woke up earlier, they could go out earlier.
Nanqiao had just woken up in the morning and couldn't fall asleep now, so he and Taohua packed up their things.
While Taohua was tidying up, Nanqiao went back to the room and came out again a few minutes later with a large package in his hand.
Arriving at Taohua's room, Nanqiao placed some things on the table and said to Taohua, "These are the skin care products in the store, suitable for people of your age. The others are some bedding and some small items you use daily."
Nanqiao said it casually, and Taohua thought it was just some small things. She thanked him and took it. After opening the package, Taohua took a quick look and paused...
"Sister-in-law, you've prepared so much," Taohua stuttered. At a glance, judging from the patterns, there were three sets of bedding, as well as other skin care products, combs, hairpins, underwear, a small backpack, and even a pen and notebook. Taohua's mouth drooped as she looked at it, and tears began to fall.
The second sister-in-law was like her mother, preparing everything for her in detail. Being able to marry Nanqiao was the best thing his second brother had done in his life.
"What's the matter? Don't you like it? If not, we can go out and buy some later." Nanqiao saw her sudden reaction and thought Taohua didn't like it. These were all in her space, and he gave them to her because he thought they were better quality and more comfortable to use than the ones he bought. But he also thought that Taohua lived in this era after all, and maybe these were not to her taste, so she ignored them.
"I like it, I think my sister-in-law is really nice," Taohua said and hugged Nanqiao
"As long as you like it, silly girl, there's nothing to cry about." Nanqiao saw that she liked it, smiled and raised his hand to wipe her tears.
"Sister-in-law, why are you so kind?" Taohua wiped her tears and looked at Nanqiao with tearful eyes.
"You are such a grown-up girl, but you are still crying here with your sister-in-law. I haven't given you anything serious yet." Nanqiao took out a small box from his pocket and gave it to Taohua.
"Here, a gift to celebrate your admission to university. See if you like it."
"This is... a watch." Taohua took the red velvet box with surprise and opened it carefully.
Inside the box was a women's watch with a red leather strap and a diamond-covered dial. There was no logo, but it still looked very valuable.
The nature of the Chinese people, such a pure red stone is the most beautiful one in Taohua's eyes, but she thinks this watch is a bit too expensive
"Sister-in-law, this watch is too expensive." Taohua regretted asking her sister-in-law for a watch. Her second sister-in-law had asked her what gift she wanted for getting into college, but she had no idea. On the other hand, she didn't want her second sister-in-law to spend too much money.
