Xiao Yubai nodded, "Then I'll pick you up again around nine o'clock tomorrow. Goodnight, wife, go to sleep early." She was tired after a long day, so she should get some rest.
We haven't seen each other for over a month, and we finally have this opportunity, so we have to eat our fill, since we don't know when the next time will be.
"I know, I'll definitely go to bed early, drive slowly and be careful, bye honey."
"goodbye!"
She watched him drive away before going back to her bedroom, entering the bathroom, showering, drying her hair, and lying down to sleep.
You don't need to get up too early the next day. You can get up slowly, change into a pair of jeans, a white fur coat underneath, grab your bag and go downstairs.
This time, Hua Hua wasn't called, because at this time, she must have already gotten up, washed up, and gone downstairs. However, when she arrived at the living room, only Xiao Yubai was there.
Good morning, honey!
"It's still early, it's already ten o'clock. Should we eat first, or go out to eat?" He had been waiting here for an hour.
"I'm sorry, honey, I overslept. Let's go out to eat. Where are Hua Hua and the others?"
"We've already gone out to play. We said you're too slow, and we won't be shopping together, so we'll go first. Let's go too!" She took the bag from his hand and pulled him outside.
"Hua Hua got up really early, but I can't get up. You can stay up a little later tomorrow, otherwise I'll get very bored waiting for you."
"I'm not bored, I'd love to wait for you!" He kissed her on the cheek before starting the car and driving away.
After a few days of fun, we finally bought everything we needed. It was New Year's Eve, and the nannies were busy in the kitchen early in the morning.
As long as the food is prepared well, they can go home for the New Year and come back in three days, so we need to make more food.
Although Ruoxi wasn't busy, she still got up early, changed her clothes, and went downstairs.
Xiao Yubai and Cheng Yumo were already sitting in the living room, chatting with An's father.
"Mom, what about the flowers?"
“In the kitchen, when you bring out too many dishes, they help out as well.”
"Then I'll go too." She said, and ran to the kitchen.
But looking at the bustling scene inside, it seemed she didn't even have a chance to wash the vegetables.
"Shushu, get up. Do you want breakfast?" Xia Hua asked as she approached.
"I'm not eating, I just came to see if there's anything I can help with."
"No, go to the living room. You wash vegetables so slowly. There are a lot of vegetables today, so we can't afford to waste time. Go play."
"Okay, you guys get back to your work." I had no choice but to go back to the living room.
Back in the small world, she said she would cook the meat from the warehouse when she got back, but Yu Bai and Yu Mo were too busy to cook. It was just her and Hua Hua, so it wasn't easy to do it.
The meat had been sitting in the warehouse for so long. We only took some out last night and made it into our New Year's Eve dinner today.
But she still has a lot in her warehouse, so she can only cook it when she has time. However, in the past month or so, when she went shopping with Hua Hua, she bought a lot of delicious dishes, breakfast items, and snacks to put in.
The empty bowls were refilled, with only vegetables and various breakfast dishes with soup being placed in them. Snacks or dry items were put in takeout containers.
Since there are two kinds, they take up two slots, but this much food is enough for the four of them to eat for more than half a year. Adding what they had left over, it's enough to eat for a year. Of course, it won't be enough if there are more people.
Back in the living room, the others could tell from her expression that they couldn't help her.
An Shuheng didn't get home until the afternoon. He could have arrived in the morning, but he was called away by his boss, which delayed him.
“Big brother, you’re back! I was just about to call and ask if you were coming back for the New Year.” An Shuyi asked.
"My boss had something to do and was a little late. This is a gift from my girlfriend. This one is for Huahua, and this one is for Mom." He said, handing two boxes to his sister.
"Please thank your sister-in-law for me, but do I need to give her a return gift? What would be a good gift?"
"No need to send anything. Her father really liked the wine you asked me to bring last time. This is a thank you gift."
"Brother, although we gave you the wine, it's not appropriate to give you a thank-you gift because of your kind intentions. You should be the one to receive it. Tonight, I'll also rummage through the warehouse and find some return gifts."
In her warehouse, there were still many pieces of jewelry that she had never worn. Besides the ones Xiao Yubai and Hua Hua bought for her, there were also many others that she had robbed from bandits.
Just find two pieces as return gifts; although there are other jewelry for sale, none of the jewelry here is as good as hers.
"Just think of something to give back. I don't know much about jewelry, so don't make it too expensive." He had seen the jewelry his two younger sisters wore, and any one of them would cost hundreds of millions. It wouldn't be appropriate as a return gift.
Also, their customs are special, so you can't wear anything too expensive, otherwise it will just end up at the bottom of your drawer.
“That’s a bit of a dilemma. After all, the quality of the things I have here is about the same as the ones I wear. If I bring them for testing, they might actually be antiques,” An Shuyi said.
"Then let's not go through any return gift; she can't wear anything too expensive."
"I'll look around and find something understated but of good quality." He said, opening the box in his hand. Inside was a bracelet, not expensive, but pretty.
It seems her return gift really can't be too expensive, otherwise her sister-in-law might suspect that she's difficult to get along with.
Cover the box and put it in the warehouse, leaving the flowery one aside for her to open herself.
Knowing that An Shuheng was coming back, An's mother and Xia Hua quickly came out of the kitchen.
Seeing his older brother and father talking, he pulled Xia Hua over to sit down. "Hua Hua, this is a return gift from your older brother's girlfriend. Open it and take a look."
She felt that the contents of the box were also bracelets, just like hers; she just had that feeling.
Sure enough, when it was opened, the bracelet inside was the same as hers. If it weren't for the fact that hers had already been put in storage, everyone would have thought that this one was hers.
"It's quite pretty, exquisite but not expensive." After saying that, he closed the box and put it in the warehouse.
An Shuyi nodded, "They are quite pretty. Yours and mine are the same. I feel that my sister-in-law's personality is a bit straightforward, but luckily we don't mind."
Xia Hua looked at her and said, "Could it be that my sister-in-law thinks that since we grew up together, we should buy the same gifts?"
"The way you put it, it sounds like two little girls, and the adults, in order to prevent them from arguing, always buy two of the same thing every time they go shopping."
"That makes sense. Have you decided what to give in return?"
"Not yet, but I have a lot of jewelry here. Just pick two pieces, one for you and one for me." She turned her head as she said this.
"Mom, do you want to see what gift your sister-in-law gave you? Should I find some jewelry for you as a return gift?"
Human relationships are built on give and take.
An's mother looked at her eldest son, "Shuheng, did your girlfriend bring me a gift?"
An Shuheng nodded, "Yes, it's the box on the table. Mom, open it and see, I don't know what it is either."
"Then I'll take a look, so I can return the gift properly."
