The gift was really bought.
I bought a pair of low-key yet luxurious Swiss watches for Fu Changping and his wife, a navy blue Zhongshan suit made of high-end fabric for Fu Changping, two cheongsams for Zhan Shuying, a set of pearl jewelry, a pair of white low-heeled leather shoes, and a pair of black low-heeled leather shoes.
As for the other members of the Fu family, she didn't consider them.
It’s not that I didn’t think about it, but I didn’t plan to send it at all.
When they got married, the eldest brother Fu Junze and his wife came to pick up the bride. She and Fu Junmo did not let them work in vain. After the wedding, they gave them a red envelope of one hundred yuan.
After hanging up the phone, Qian Duoduo drove back to the courtyard. On the way, he took out a rack of lamb, two pounds of mutton, two pounds of pork belly, a sea bass, and thirty eggs from the system warehouse.
Zhan Shuying was really too stingy. She thought that sending her some food would make her happier.
Since she has decided to hold on to Fu Changping's big, thick legs, Zhan Shuying should also deal with it within an appropriate range.
After picking up Fu Yihan and saying hello to Qiannai, he went to the military district family compound to pick up gifts for his parents-in-law, then went to the gate of the military district to pick up Fu Junmo and rushed to the military district compound together.
Fu Changping and Zhan Shuying had already received the call and were both waiting in the living room.
Qian Duoduo and Fu Junmo carried a bunch of things into the house. Qian Duoduo said with a smile, "Dad, Mom, I'm sorry. I should have come to see you the first thing I did when I came back from Yangcheng, but I was so busy as soon as I got back. Please forgive me."
Zhan Shuying's face was expressionless. Fu Changping smiled and said, "We're family, no need to be so polite. If you have something to do, just go about your business."
After changing his shoes, Qian Duoduo smiled and nodded. As he walked towards the sofa, he said with a smile: "I bought some gifts for you from Shanghai. See if you like them."
After saying that, he turned around and said to Fu Junmo, "Junmo, put the meat and fish in the kitchen. It's hot, and the meat and fish won't keep well. Ask Aunt Zhang to cook them tonight."
After saying that, she also walked to the sofa. She put some packaging bags on the coffee table, took out a luxuriously packaged pearl jewelry from one bag and handed it to Zhan Shuying, "Mom, the moment I saw this set of pearls, I felt that it was particularly suitable for your temperament. Take a look."
When Zhan Shuying heard about Zhenzhu, she could no longer keep a straight face and took it with a grin, "Mom is so old, why waste this money."
"How can I be old? This set of large pearls makes you look more dignified, elegant, and generous."
Zhan Shuying smiled and opened the velvet-wrapped box. When she saw what was inside, she couldn't help swallowing.
The box full of pearls blinded her eyes.
"T-that much?"
This pearl is so bright and big!
Zhan Shuying tried her best to restrain her smile so as to appear less materialistic.
"Not much, just a necklace, a brooch, a bracelet, and a pair of earrings."
As she spoke, she took out two cheongsams from her bag. "Shanghai's cheongsams are very famous. Now that reform and opening up have taken place, you might not know that on the streets of Shanghai, people of some status all wear cheongsams. They look very nice. You can wear them when you attend a banquet or something like that in the future."
"I bought two suits for you, one royal blue and one burgundy. Try them on for size. If there's anything that doesn't fit, I'll take it back and have the tailor make some alterations."
"Also, there are cheongsams?"
"Yes, take a look, do you like it?"
Fu Changping saw Qian Duoduo's intention and helped to speak up, "The child is thinking of us even when he's away from home. He's really thoughtful. You should give it a try."
Zhan Shuying touched the cheongsam and nodded happily.
Qian Duoduo took out the Zhongshan suit for Fu Changping from another bag and said, "Dad, this is for you. Please don't say I'm partial."
"Hahaha, come on, this material feels really good. It's not cheap, is it?"
"Just dress nicely. This pair of watches is for you and mom."
Fu Changping saw the logo on the high-end black leather box at a glance and frowned slightly, "You kid, you are just wasting money. How can we wear such an expensive watch?"
"You have worked hard for the country your whole lives and are dedicated to your work. Everyone knows this. I'm a businessman, and I'm sure your colleagues know about this too. You can just say it was a gift from your daughter-in-law. It won't be a problem."
"I work hard to earn money so that my family can live a good life. If I keep it secret, people will report me and investigate me. It's better to be open about it."
Swiss watches are rare in this era, but they are available in the Friendship Store in Shanghai. This pair of watches cost her more than 60,000 yuan!
Fu Changping nodded. "The report from those women in the family compound isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's just right for you to get your case out in the open, so it won't get bigger and bigger in the future. If someone investigates, it will be even more troublesome."
"Dad is right, I thought so too." Qian Duoduo said to Zhan Shuying, "Mom, go try on the dress. When I first saw it, I thought it would look great on you. With the pearls, it would be even more elegant—"
"Oh, okay, I'll try."
Zhan Shuying walked into the bedroom with a smile, holding clothes and jewelry boxes.
She had only worn cheongsams and pearl earrings when she was a teenager, but those pearls were not even close to these pearls.
After Zhan Shuying left, Fu Junmo pulled Qian Duoduo to sit on the sofa opposite Fu Changping.
Fu Changping frowned slightly and whispered, "Jun Mo, how did you know that the Guo and Zhang families were looking for the Director of the Education Bureau? Have they taken action yet?"
"I heard from a comrade, and the information is reliable. They're going to start allocating admission ticket numbers soon. If they really tamper with it, Duoduo won't be able to pass the exam, regardless of whether he cheated or not. Moreover, if this matter gets out, it will bring bad reputation to our family."
