"Thank you, grandma."
"Thank you, grandma." Shufan watched his sister skillfully take the box, resigned, he opened his backpack and took out the gift they had bought for Yue Tingyu, "Qianqian just bought this in the afternoon, hoping grandma would like it." Shufan took out a light gray box, he only knew it was for Yue Tingyu, what was inside couldn’t be discerned from the surface.
Yue Tingyu opened the packaging, revealing a pair of white leather gloves. She quickly put them on—they fit perfectly—and couldn’t help but silently admire the children’s keen observation.
"Your uncle and auntie wouldn’t dare bypass your grandparents." Luo Xisi stepped forward holding two boxes, "These were prepared by your auntie long ago." As she spoke, she opened the boxes, which contained two watches of different styles. Luo Qianqian’s eyes widened—could they even dare to wear these out without fear of being robbed? Wouldn’t that break their hearts?
"Thank you, uncle, thank you, auntie."
"Thank you, uncle, thank you, auntie." Watching his sister’s cautious demeanor, Shufan wanted to say, even if he didn’t recognize the merchandise, nothing offered so far was cheap. He took out two boxes and said, "This is for uncle, and this is for auntie. Qianqian picked them, hope you would like them."
Luo Xisi and Ye Qianying opened their boxes; Luo Xisi’s contained a belt, and Ye Qianying’s a pair of earrings.
"I’m rather simple-minded, didn’t know what to give, this is your Second Aunt’s idea, hope you will like it." Saying this, he gave them each a red book.
Property ownership certificate??!!
"Second uncle, this..." Luo Qianqian looked at the item in her hand, already dumbfounded, then looked at the names of her and her brother.
"Take it, it’s a gesture from your Second Uncle and Aunt." Luo Guohui admired the red book, a glint of appreciation in his eyes.
Luo Qianqian and her brother exchanged glances before she said:
"Thank you, Second Uncle, thank you, Second Aunt."
"Thank you, Second Uncle, thank you, Second Aunt." Shufan took out two boxes, "Qianqian picked these, hope Second Uncle and Aunt will like them."
Upon opening the boxes, Luo Xihan’s contained a tie clip, Jia Ning’s a pair of earrings unlike Ye Qianying’s style.
It was the younger generation’s turn. Luo Qianqian, smiling, handed a box to each of her four brothers, identical boxes. The brothers, a bit dazed, opened them to find neck scarves of different colors: dark gray, deep blue, ochre, camel. In fact, Luo Qianqian had bought five, with one for her brother.
"This time I bought it by pooling money with Mistress." Luo Yanhai handed over two boxes, containing phones. Shufan excitedly took it; he had only seen these on TV and had never seen a real one.
"Thank you, big brother, Third Brother." Luo Qianqian smiled sweetly, showing little interest in the phones, having returned from an era of smartphones.
"Thank you, big brother, thank you, Third Brother." Shufan scrutinized the box carefully, his face full of excitement.
"You guys are really cunning to pool money..." Luo Yanhao walked forward holding two bags, glared at his two brothers then continued, "Mine is the most practical, you see they are getting you to play, but I’m different, look, the latest edition of study materials from primary to high school, and some more I couldn’t bring today will be delivered tomorrow."
"..." Luo Qianqian and her brother looked as if they had swallowed a frog, how could their relatives give things that their peers would?
Watching his siblings’ expressions, Luo Yanhao bragged, "See, my gifts have stunned you, haha, I am the most awesome."
Luo Qianqian managed a smile and took the heavy bag, "Thank you, Second Brother." She dragged the bag back to Shufan’s side, placed it at his feet, then jumped back three steps.
"Second Brother has worked hard, still worrying about our studies." Shufan looked at the bag his sister had put down and his mouth twitched; his sister usually couldn’t be bothered to do her homework, were these things not going to fall on his head now?
"Second Brother, I think you will be hated." Luo Yanwu looked at his siblings’ strange expressions and patted Luo Yanhao on the shoulder.
Luo Yanhao, with an incredulous look, said, "You think everyone’s like you, inept at learning, they made it to the finals, you know?"
Watching his sister’s twitching cheeks, Luo Yanran stepped forward, "Don’t mind him, he often overwrought, here, a preview of my latest album, signed, all original compositions by Qianqian." Luo Yanran handed a CD to Luo Qianqian, "You should , right?"
"So..." Luo Qianqian took the CD, eyes fixed on Luo Yanran, "when am I getting paid?"
