Chapter 393 Preparing the Dowry



The snow in Beijing this year fell quietly.

When they woke up, the ground was covered in white dust. Yun Jin and her daughter, Xiao Niangao, had slept in late.

Usually, Mrs. He would wake Xiao Niangao up and take her to kindergarten.

It snowed today. Mom felt sorry for Xiao Niangao and let her sleep a little longer. Anyway, it's just daycare, so it doesn't matter whether she goes or not. Mom called to ask for leave so she could sleep peacefully.

Hearing from Mrs. He that it had snowed, the mother and daughter got up around nine in the morning. Without washing their faces or brushing their teeth, they looked out the window and saw that it was indeed a large area covered in white. Little Niangao was so excited that she wanted to build a snowman.

Yun Jin also wanted to play in the snow.

After washing up, the mother and daughter applied face cream, leaving their faces feeling moisturized.

Beijing is very dry, and Yun Jin is most afraid of her face cracking and peeling. She has to apply face cream before going to bed and immediately after washing her face. Other people's children have faces like tree bark.

Little Rice Cake's face was fair with a rosy glow, and everyone who saw her praised her good skin.

Firstly, she was naturally beautiful, and secondly, Yun Jin, her mother, took good care of her.

After washing up, the mother and daughter dressed warmly, wrapped in scarves, hats, and gloves, and played in the snow in the yard.

Little Rice Cake, wrapped in clothes made from old clothes by Mother He, ran out as well, her limbs shivering from the cold. She played with them for a while, but couldn't stand it anymore and immediately hid back inside.

After it warmed up, they went out to play again.

Seeing Little Rice Cake playing in the yard, her face flushed and her eyelashes almost frozen, her parents, worried that she would catch a cold, asked Yun Jin to take her back.

They had so much fun that Xiao Niangao didn't catch a cold, but Yun Jin did. Plus, her period came, so she stayed home and didn't want to move at all. He's mother brought her all her food and drinks.

Little Rice Cake stayed by Yun Jin's side, feeling heartbroken seeing her sickly appearance.

They were very considerate and gave her medicine.

He Tingchuan called and was extremely worried when he learned that Yun Jin was sick.

Little Rice Cake said, "Dad found out that I will take good care of Mom. Mom took her medicine and slept it off. Grandma said to go to the hospital if it gets serious, but Mom said it's okay."

He Tingchuan asked worriedly, "How is Mom now?"

“She’s upstairs!” Little Niangao immediately understood what He Tingchuan meant and said, “Dad, call back later, I’ll go call Mom down.”

He Tingchuan didn't hang up, and just listened to the faint voice on the other end, as if he could hear Xiao Niangao calling "Mom" in a clear voice.

"Mom, Dad called. Dad misses you and wants to hear your voice. Dad heard you're sick and he's so worried. Be careful, Mom!" Little Rice Cake can talk a little more.

Yun Jin, her body limp, was being carefully pulled along by Xiao Niangao.

Watching her daughter being cared for like a little adult, Yun Jin secretly told herself to get better soon.

She thought the call had ended, but as soon as she walked over, He Tingchuan's voice came through the phone: "Are you sick? Do you have a fever?"

Yun Jin nodded: "Yes, I had a fever last night. I took medicine in the middle of the night and I feel much better now. I just don't have any energy. My period started again, and my body can't handle it. It's okay, I'll be fine after a couple of days of rest."

He Tingchuan said with heartache, "I'm sorry that I couldn't be by your side to take care of you when you were sick. I'm a very derelict husband, leaving you to take care of the children and the house all by yourself."

"If you feel bad for me, you'd better treat me better in the future, or I'll never forgive you!" Yun Jin warned.

Hearing her say that, He Tingchuan felt much better: "Okay, I promise!"

"I'm listening!" Yun Jin asked, "Can you come back before the New Year?"

"Yes, I submitted my application in advance." He Tingchuan definitely wanted to go back for the New Year. He wanted to go back now, but he couldn't leave, so he could only check on his sick wife over the phone.

Fortunately, her daughter was there to keep her company.

There are two elderly people at home. With them there, He Tingchuan feels more at ease, and his mother can also take care of his food and drink.

The couple chatted for a while before Yun Jin hung up the phone because she was tired.

Standing up makes me dizzy; all I want to do is lie down and rest.

With such a large amount gushing out in waves, Yun Jin just wanted to lie down.

Yun Jin's cold took three days to get better. She was able to get out of bed and eat and drink. After she fully recovered, she lost two or three pounds. Mother He stewed bird's nest, shark fin, abalone and sea cucumber for her to eat.

She wasn't the only one eating; her parents also ate some to replenish their energy.

He Zizhen returned just in time and enjoyed the bird's nest soup.

Yun Jin had only been recovered for two days when Li Aimei and Zhang Qingwei, who were also on break, brought fruit and snacks to visit He's parents and Yun Jin, and also showed them their marriage certificate.

Yes, today is a good day. Li Aimei and Zhang Qingwei got married.

Yun Jin laughed and said, "Congratulations! You're legally married now. You two should live a good life together, but don't you dare bully my sister, or I'll never forgive you!"

With Yun Jin backing him up, Zhang Qingwei repeatedly said he wouldn't dare, as Li Aimei was the one who made the decisions at home.

Mrs. He smiled and congratulated them, giving them two red envelopes: "It's good that you're married. From now on, you're one family. Support and care for each other, have a harmonious marriage, and live a long and happy life together!"

Li Aimei was surprised to receive a red envelope and felt embarrassed to accept it.

Mother He said, "Please accept it. It's not much, but it's a token of our appreciation and blessings from your elders. We hope you will have a happy and fulfilling life together!"

Li Aimei must accept such a wonderful blessing.

Li Aimei said, "Let's have dinner together later. We've booked a table at a restaurant."

Yun Jin nodded: "Okay!"

These days, weddings don't necessarily involve a big banquet. Especially in Li Aimei's case, no one from her family except Yun Jin showed up.

She no longer missed Li's mother; she had her eye on Zhang Qingwei and wanted to spend her life with him.

As for Li's mother, after giving her the thousand, she no longer cared about that family bond.
