Chapter 244 Uninvited



Yang Baiyi is not a stingy person, let alone Wanru's parents!

"Just pamper her."

Looking at the brother and sister who looked indifferent, Lin Xiao couldn't help but be speechless. What a careless people they are!

However, Lin Xiao was also completely relieved about his sister's future. Yang Baiyi was good to his sister, which was what Lin Xiao wanted.

The next day at breakfast, Yang Baiyi told his sister to go to the educated youth compound for dinner after school, and the little girl readily agreed.

After breakfast, Lin Wanru and Lin Xiao started to worry about what gift to give Lele today.

"Wouldn't it be too vulgar to give a cash gift? But I don't have anything to give."

Lin Xiao searched through his luggage, but couldn't find anything suitable.

"We were just busy having fun yesterday. We should buy Lele some gifts in the county town."

Lin Wanru was a little frustrated by her own carelessness.

"Alright! I've prepared it for you! I'll get it for you."

Yang Baiyi went to the inner room and came out with a few more things in his hands.

"Wanru, these are two buckets of milk powder. Give them to Lele as gifts."

Yang Baiyi handed the milk powder to Lin Wanru.

"Brother Lin Xiao, this is a string of wind chimes. I bought it when I went to the city to see a patient. I thought it was interesting and bought it casually.

Hang it on the kang, and it will jingle when you touch it, perfect for soothing children."

Yang Baiyi handed the metal maple forest to Lin Xiao.

"This thing is good and not expensive. It won't be a burden for Han Fei to accept it. It is also very practical and much more suitable than a gift."

Gifts for both of them were prepared, and Yang Baiyi also prepared a gift for his godson, which he found from the dozen or so boxes of jewelry.

A golden longevity lock with several golden bells hanging underneath, exquisitely crafted, small and delicate.

"Let's go then and see if there's anything we can help with."

The gifts were ready, and Lin Wanru urged Yang Baiyi and Lin Xiao to hurry over.

"There's nothing to do at home, so it's better to go early."

After Yang Baiyi fed the dog, the three of them locked the gate and went to the educated youth compound.

"Bai Yi, Wan Ru, Comrade Lin Xiao, are you here?"

The educated youth compound was not very lively. Li Yuan and He Qingkui had gone to school, and the other educated youth had gone to the riverbank to record their work. Only Han Fei's family of three and He Yingying were at home in the educated youth compound.

"Sister-in-law Li Xue, this is a gift from me to Lele."

Lin Wanru placed two buckets of milk powder on the kang table.

"I thank my godmother on Lele's behalf."

Li Xue held the baby Lele in her arms and expressed her gratitude to Lin Wanru.

Although the two barrels of milk powder are very valuable, the full-month gift is a blessing to the child and there is no need to refuse it. Han Fei and his wife just need to keep it in mind.

When Yang Baiyi and Lin Wanru have children in the future, he will repay this favor no matter what means he uses.

"This is a small gift I gave to Lele. It's not worth much, but it's still very useful for comforting children."

Lin Xiao picked up the wind chime and shook it slightly, and the wind chime made a pleasant tinkling sound.

Lele in Li Xue's arms suddenly showed a curious expression, and turned his little head to look for the source of the sound.

A baby who is just one month old may not have fully developed vision, but has very sensitive hearing and instinctively looks for sounds.

"Thank you, Comrade Lin Xiao. Look, Lele likes it very much."

Li Xue looked at her son in her arms, her face full of maternal radiance.

"Captain Han, Sister-in-law Li Xue, this is the gift I prepared for Lele."

Yang Baiyi took out an antique rosewood box and handed it over.

"Bai Yi, don't worry. We have also prepared a gift for you to meet your godfather for Lele. When everyone comes back at noon, we will hold a simple ceremony."

Han Fei and his wife attach great importance to their son's godfather appointment and want to hold the ceremony in the presence of everyone.

"Okay."

Yang Baiyi put the longevity lock back in place.

"Han Fei, hold Lele and talk to Brother Baiyi and Comrade Lin Xiao. I'll go to the kitchen to prepare lunch."

Li Xue put her son into Han Fei's arms.

"Sister-in-law Li Xue, Yingying and I can cook. You just came out of confinement, so you'd better not go into the kitchen."

Lin Wanru quickly stopped him.

"I'm not that precious, and being able to stay in confinement after childbirth is already a sign of everyone's care for me.

I'm fine now, I washed my hair last night."

The three women went into the kitchen, talking and laughing, leaving only three men holding a child in the room.

"Captain Han, who did you invite for lunch? Is there anything else you need?"

It was his godson's full moon party, so Yang Baiyi didn't want to make any mistakes.

"It's enough for the people in our compound to have some fun, and a few brigade cadres, I haven't notified anyone else.

We didn't have much contact to begin with, and notifying them about the full moon banquet is like asking for a gift."

Han Fei is a very low-key person, and it is not appropriate to hold a grand celebration now.

The meat was sent by Yang Baiyi, and Han Fei felt very embarrassed.

If he used the meat sent by Yang Baiyi to entertain guests and accept gifts again, Han Fei would not be able to get over it.

However, plans cannot keep up with changes. At around nine o'clock, some members came to the door with gifts.

"Principal Han, thank you and Teacher Li Xue for your guidance of my grandson. Today is your son's full moon day, and I want to share in your happiness and ask for a glass of wedding wine."

Li Xiu Lian took out two dollars and put them on the table.

"Auntie, you're respectful to us by coming here. Please take the money back quickly. Just come over for lunch."

Han Fei was still holding his son in his arms, and he didn't have the hands free to return the money to Li Xiu Lian.

"Principal Han, how can you attend a wedding without giving gifts? Unless you look down on me."

"Sister Xiulian, you came really early. I called you on the road but you didn't hear me.

Principal Han, congratulations! Now that you have a son, you and Teacher Li will be happy.

Liu Guihua also took out two dollars and put them together with Li Xiu Lian's two dollars.

As a senior matchmaker in Chenjiatun, Liu Guihua has never missed any weddings or funerals in the village.

Therefore, if any member of the cooperative has a child of marriageable age, they will generally ask Liu Guihua to act as a matchmaker.

Liu Guihua has never been bad at anything, so she earned the matchmaking gift, and everyone was willing to accept it.

"Bai Yi, look at this..."

The arrival of Li Xiu Lian and Liu Gui Hua was completely beyond Han Fei's expectations.

In rural areas, people always say that people don’t show up for happy events without being invited, but people come to funerals without being invited. Although I didn’t notify anyone, some members still came on their own initiative.

"Aunt Xiulian is right, they are already here, can you still chase them away?

Just accept the gift money and make a note of the gift list. When there is a happy event in their family, you can return it.

Relationships are getting closer and closer, and normal human interaction is still necessary."

Yang Baiyi is much more open-minded about this than Han Fei.

"Brother Lin Xiao, let's play the guest accounting role today!"

When someone gives you a gift, you must remember it, as it will serve as a basis for returning the gift in the future.
