Mu Yi'an got up early and made longevity noodles, giving Chu Yue a little to eat as a festive occasion and to bring good luck.
After dinner, Jiang's parents and their entourage arrived, and even Jiang's older brother put down his books and came along.
Jiang's mother looked at her little granddaughter, who was dressed in a traditional Chinese dress, with her hair in a small bun and adorned with pearl flowers. She looked fair and tender, and was so cute.
"Here, this is Grandma's birthday gift for Chuyue."
Jiang's mother took out a silver bracelet, small but exquisite.
Jiang's sister-in-law saw that the shoes were similar to those given to Chu Tong, so she didn't say anything. The shoes she prepared for herself were a pair of small shoes that Chu Tong had made when she was little, but they had become too small since she hadn't worn them.
She just grabbed it; it looked a bit big.
Li Qiuniang took out a piece of pink cloth; she didn't know how to make clothes.
"Chuyue, your third aunt doesn't know how to make nice clothes, so she can only give you fabric so your aunt can make you a nice dress."
Li Qiuniang's fabric was silk, which looked light and thin, and the pink color was very beautiful.
Mu Yi'an looked at the gifts from her two sisters-in-law and could tell at a glance whether they were thoughtful or not. She said nothing and told Chu Yue to thank her grandmother, aunt, and uncle.
"Thanks……"
Chuyue, not understanding what was going on, simply repeated what her mother said.
Jiang Lan was the most interesting. She felt that since she wasn't married yet, she and her parents were considered one family, so she didn't prepare a gift.
Mu Yi'an didn't care, but she made a mental note of it.
Just as the people at the Jiang family's old residence took their seats, the Mu family's carriage arrived.
"Father, Mother, Eldest Brother, Mu Xuan, Mu Yang..."
The Mu family members present included Mr. Mu, Mrs. Mu, and their eldest brother; the younger generation of the Mu family were also all present today.
“Yi’an, your second sister-in-law is very pregnant and will give birth in the next few days. She didn’t come over. Your eldest sister-in-law is at home taking care of her. Ziyi Academy is still open for business.”
"I know, Second Sister-in-law is having twins, so she might go into labor early. Have you found a midwife and everything else?"
"It's all found and ready."
After Mu's mother and the others entered the living room and greeted Jiang's parents, they took out gifts.
“Come here, Chuyue, this is a gold necklace that Grandma made for you, hoping you will be rich and prosperous for life. This is a pair of silver bracelets from your eldest and second aunts, a rattan ball made by your eldest uncle, a wooden doll bought by your second uncle, and a bell bought by your youngest uncle…”
Mother Mu brought birthday gifts for all the elders of the Mu family, making sure to include them all.
"Thanks……"
Chuyue reached out and grabbed the bell; without being taught, she said thank you.
"Wow, our Chuyue can say thank you now, that's great!"
Chuyue took the bell and shook it repeatedly. She loved the sound and laughed so hard that drool dripped out, which made everyone laugh.
Looking at the gifts prepared by the Mu family, and then at Sister-in-law Jiang and Jiang Lan, Jiang's mother's expression was not very good.
