Chapter 1540: I Like It Very Much; You Were So Thoughtful
Fu Yanwan frowned slightly: "Fourth Sister-in-law, the name 'Er Bao' sounds like a boy's name; it doesn't quite suit my niece."
Chuxue thought for a moment: "How about calling her 'Le Bao' instead?"
Fu Yanwan didn't expect Fourth Sister-in-law to take it to heart: "Fourth Sister-in-law, 'Le Bao' sounds good."
As she spoke, she tugged Guo Yan'er, who was standing behind her: "Sister-in-law Yan'er, don't you think so?"
Chuxue looked up at Guo Yan'er: "Who is this?"
Xiao Wanxia quickly introduced her: "Chuxue, this is your second cousin sister-in-law. Their whole family arrived home yesterday, and I brought her over today just so she could get to know the place."
Chuxue smiled and greeted her: "Greetings, Second Cousin Sister-in-law."
Guo Yan'er smiled and stepped forward: "Greetings, Cousin Sister."
As she spoke, she opened the bundle she had brought: "Cousin Sister, these are capes I made for the children using rabbit fur. My craftsmanship isn't great, so I hope you won't mind."
While she was speaking, the bundle was already open, revealing three capes in yellow, red, and blue, each trimmed with rabbit fur along the edges; the hoods were embroidered with tiger heads, looking especially cute: "Second Cousin Sister-in-law, these are so adorable! Once they're a bit older, I'll have them wear these capes and follow behind; how cool that would be."
Guo Yan'er didn't understand the last two words: "Cool."
Chuxue quickly explained: "It means stylish, very impressive."
Guo Yan'er laughed: "As long as you like them."
Seeing the silk fabric, Chuxue knew that Second Cousin Brother and his wife had put their hearts into it; after all, in these times, buying cloth required cloth coupons. Although a small cape didn't use much material, they had made three: "Second Cousin Sister-in-law, I like them very much; you've been so thoughtful."
"The weather is so cold today; did the children have a good journey?"
Upon hearing the question about the children, Guo Yan'er's face was all smiles: "They're fine. The little girl is quite sturdy, but she had a runny nose this morning, so I didn't bring her out."
Chuxue smiled: "It's cold, and children's immune systems are weak, so you must be careful. Next time there's a chance, bring the little one over."
While the two of them were talking, Xiao Wanxia also opened the small wool blankets she had prepared; there were three as well: one dark pink, one pale yellow, and one dark green. "Chuxue, take a quick look; do you like these colors?"
Guo Yan'er turned and saw her own eldest sister-in-law holding three children's wool blankets: "Oh, the quality is really good, the colors are bright, and they're quite soft."
Xiao Wanxia smiled: "The other day, when I went to the Department Store, I fell in love with them at first sight."
Chuxue liked them too: "Thank you, Cousin Sister."
Seeing that both her sister-in-law and her husband's younger sister had brought their own gifts, Jiang Limin, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xiao family's main branch, also picked up her bag: "Chuxue, this is corduroy fabric I bought for the children. Later, I'll make a small outfit for each of my nephew and niece."
Chuxue hadn't expected it; everyone was making such grand gestures. This was their first visit to see the baby; wasn't bringing some nutritional supplements enough? Why was everyone giving such large gifts?
Duan Ruirui stepped forward with a smile at this moment: "Chuxue, this is mine."
When everyone saw what was inside, Chuxue exclaimed: "Where did you get so much milk powder?"
Duan Ruirui laughed: "Your Fourth Brother went on a business trip to Inner Mongolia a few days ago, just like you did last year. This time, things went smoothly enough that they were given two days for free time, so someone took them to the local milk powder factory."
"I thought that since you had just given birth, your milk supply might not be enough, so I brought a few bags for you."
The Xiao family's generosity was extraordinary, which the Fu family had not expected.
Hao Yanhong looked at what she had brought and felt very displeased: "Today isn't the full-month banquet; if you give such expensive gifts now, what will you give at the full-month banquet?"
?? Dear readers, that's all for today. Good night, everyone.
