The next day, Song Li went around the courtyard, and when everyone was busy, she planned to go to the Friendship Store while she had nothing to do that day. Tomorrow was the Spring Festival, and she wanted to pick out some gifts for her family.

Song Li came to the Friendship Store for the second time. After a round of shopping, she bought a silk scarf for her mother-in-law, a pair of small leather boots for Fu Qianqian, a can of tea for her father-in-law, and a watch for Fu Yanci (it was a foreign brand and the style was similar to the one she had). She also bought two sets of underwear for herself.

A trip to the Friendship Store cost her nearly five hundred dollars.

But she spent it happily.

After shopping, I went to the courtyard, but except for the eldest brother of the Yang family, the others had not returned yet.

After telling the eldest brother of the Yang family about tomorrow's arrangements and asking everyone to take a day off tomorrow and have a good Spring Festival, Song Li went home with her things.

It was still early to go home. When she returned, her mother-in-law and father-in-law had not come back yet. Fu Qianqian had not been home for the past two days because she lived in the school dormitory. She should be home in the evening. Tomorrow is the Spring Festival.

Song Li took the things back to the room and put them away, planning to give them to everyone after dinner.

After coming down from the building, she called the factory.

Huang Lili answered the phone and asked her about the factory's situation.

Everything was going normally at the factory, and then Comrade Gu Guohua from the Railway Bureau called. Hearing that Song Li had gone to the capital, he left a message asking Song Li to call him again when she returned to the northwest.

Song Li guessed that Gu Guohua called to discuss cooperation.

It was almost autumn, and Song Li wanted to take two days off to contact Gu Guohua after she returned to the northwest.

After talking about the factory and instructing about arrangements for the holiday, Huang Lili talked about something else.

"Sister Song, your Captain Fu left for a mission a long time ago. He specifically asked me to tell you so that you wouldn't get worried if I couldn't contact him in the next few days."

Song Li said she understood, but she didn't think much about it.

Fu Yan resigned from the army and it was normal to go on a mission.

After hanging up the phone, Song Li went back to her room to rest for a while.

She probably walked too much today and felt a little sleepy and wanted to sleep.

When she woke up, it was already dinner time. Song Li went downstairs and everyone else in the family had already returned.

Fu Qianqian smiled and waved at her, "Sister-in-law, you're awake, come and sit down."

Song Li walked over and asked with a smile, "When did you come back?"

Fu Qianqian took Song Li's arm and walked towards the restaurant. "I've been back for a while. Aunt Liu said you were resting, so I didn't go to disturb you."

Bai Jie saw that the two had endless things to talk about as soon as they met. She curled her lips and glanced at Fu Heng beside her.

This is the life she expected.

The family is harmonious and lives in harmony.

But thinking of her son who was far away in the northwest, she felt sad.

My son hasn't spent the Spring Festival at home for two or three years.

Fortunately, their daughter-in-law is with them this year, and their home is more lively than before.

The dinner table returned to the liveliness of the previous two days.

With Fu Qianqian's lively atmosphere, there was constant laughter at the dinner table.

After dinner, Song Li returned to the house and took out the things she bought at the Friendship Store the day before and gave them to her family.

She took off her own shoes and put on the small boots Song Li gave her. She walked around the bed twice and asked Bai Jie eagerly, "Mom, do they look good? Do they suit me?"

Bai Jie smiled and replied, "It looks good. It looks really good. It's just like it was tailor-made for you. Your sister-in-law has really good taste."

As for the pair of boots on the girl's feet, she had seen them when she went to the Friendship Store last time. They were new models and cost seventy yuan a pair.

My daughter-in-law is really generous. She bought seventy or ten dollars worth of boots for my daughter.

I also gave her a silk scarf, which I bought from a friendship store.

The styles and colors were all bought according to her preferences.

The tea I gave to my man was on point.

I have to say that my daughter-in-law put a lot of effort into it.

The daughters-in-law have already given New Year gifts to the family, so how can the elders fall behind?

While the girl was still showing off the shoes on her feet, Bai Jie went back to the room.

Back downstairs, she grabbed Song Li's arm and put a bracelet on her wrist.

The cool touch of the bracelet touched Song Li, and she quickly lowered her head to look.

There is a jade bracelet on my wrist, which is pure white in color, as pure and flawless as jade. It feels cool and comfortable to wear on my hand.

Song Li didn't know much about jade, but she could tell that the bracelet on her hand was worth a lot of money.

Bai Jie took her hand and looked at it again and again, becoming more and more satisfied. "Li Li, you have fair skin, so this color bracelet will look best on you. Jade can nourish the body, and it will be good for your health if you wear it."

Song Li felt a little embarrassed to ask for such an expensive thing.

The silk scarf she gave to her mother-in-law only cost more than fifty yuan, while her mother-in-law gave her things worth tens of thousands of yuan.

The bracelet on her hand is worth tens of thousands of dollars even in this era.

After a few years, I will probably be able to buy a house.

"Mom, this is too expensive. I..."

Before Song Li could finish her words, Bai Jie interrupted her with a scolding, "No matter how valuable something is, can it be more expensive than this? This is your mother's New Year gift, you can't refuse it."

Fu Qianqian, who was standing by, echoed, "Sister-in-law, Mom is right. This bracelet suits you very well. Just wear it." She leaned close to Song Li's ear and whispered, "Mom has a lot of jewelry, and this bracelet is not a big deal."

Song Li: “…”

Bai Jie: “…”

Song Li accepted a gift from her mother-in-law, and the next day she accepted a gift from Fu Qianqian.

This girl was very interesting. She knocked on her door early in the morning, and when she opened the door in a daze, she stuffed a small box into her arms and ran away.

Song Li was half asleep because of her inexplicable behavior.

I closed the door and opened the box. Inside the box were a lipstick and a bottle of perfume, both foreign products.

The color of the lipstick is very suitable for autumn, and the smell of the perfume is very nice, not pungent, but light, but Song Li felt uncomfortable in her stomach when she smelled it.

Thinking that she was hungry because she hadn't eaten in the morning, Song Li didn't think much about it and put away the gift her sister-in-law gave her.

After going downstairs and having breakfast, Bai Jie said that the army had a Spring Festival performance and asked her and Fu Qianqian if they wanted to go and watch it.

Fu Qianqian looked disgusted and said, "I won't watch it. I've been watching it for more than ten years. I'm tired of it."

In Bai Jie's words, Fu Qianqian did not inherit any artistic genes from her.

"What about you, Lili? Do you want to go and take a look?"

Song Li wanted to go and take a look at the courtyard.

It was Chinese New Year, and she wanted to take her employees out for a nice meal to celebrate.

It’s not easy to come to the capital, so she wants to take everyone to taste the capital’s specialty, roast duck.

"Mom, I'm not going. I want to take my colleagues from the factory out for dinner and wait for the New Year celebration."

Fu Qianqian tugged at Song Li's sleeve, "Sister-in-law, can I go with you?"

"Of course you can." After getting familiar with her sister-in-law Fu Qianqian, Song Li thought she was quite cute.

Bai Jie reminded them, "Be careful, go home early at night, and we will spend the autumn together."

Due to Fu Heng and Bai Jie's professional reasons, the Mid-Autumn Festival celebration had to be moved to the evening.
