Chapter 1586: How Old Are You? Wipe Your Tears Quickly

Du Juan widened her eyes: "Even if there's money, there are no tickets."

Chuxue knew she had misunderstood, and smiled, saying: "This sewing machine is a dowry your aunt gave you."

At these words, Du Juan's nose turned sour, and tears began to swirl in her eyes.

She knew that when her eldest cousin married, the family had only accompanied her with two quilts; later, when her second cousin made something of herself, she worried her elder sister would have a hard time in her husband's home, so she made up the dowry.

And when the second cousin married, all the dowry items were earned by the second cousin through her own efforts.

Thinking of this, she quickly waved her hands: "No, no, I don't want it."

Your aunt didn't spend a penny on the weddings of her two own daughters; how could I, as a niece, really accept a dowry?

Chuxue knew what Du Juan was thinking: "Enough, don't overthink it. I know what you're thinking, but times have changed. When your eldest sister married, the family hadn't split yet; my parents couldn't make the decisions. Giving two quilts was already good.

When I married, your brother-in-law had already bought all three watches and one radio, so naturally there was no need for the family to buy another set. This is the heartfelt wish of your aunt and uncle; accept it peacefully."

Xia Qiu handed over a handkerchief: "How old are you? Wipe your tears quickly."

Du Juan directly hugged Xia Qiu: "I'm just moved."

Seeing her like this, Chuxue laughed: "Enough, time is tight, the task is heavy; get moving quickly. If we're late, the little ones at home will probably start making trouble."

A list had already been drawn up before coming, so the shopping went quickly.

Basins, thermos flasks, mirrors, face cream, toothpaste, toothbrushes, Mao Jin; afterwards, they went to the cloth counter and bought fabric for two outfits. The task of making the clothes naturally fell to the skilled Xia Qiu.

Afterwards, they went straight to the sewing machine counter and, amidst envious glances from others, bought a Peony-brand sewing machine.

With the shopping nearly done, they paid fifty cents and asked the porters at the department store to deliver the sewing machine home a little later.

After the group arrived home, Xiao Mu ignored her son and went forward to examine the purchased items.

After flipping through them to the end, she looked up at the three of them: "Only these?"

Xia Qiu didn't catch on: "What's still missing?"

Xiao Mu ignored her eldest daughter and looked at Chuxue.

Chuxue took her youngest son from Fu Yan Cheng's arms: "The children are hungry; I'll feed them first. Wait until my father returns, then we'll talk."

Seeing Chuxue already holding the child back into the room, and just then hearing Shi Tou's crying, she decided not to ask anymore.

Inside the room, Chuxue first fed Kangbao full, then called Fu Yan Cheng to come in and have him bring Lebao in.

The two younger ones had smaller appetites; now Chuxue basically fed these two full first, and only fed Fu Bao last. Occasionally, if there wasn't enough to eat, she would mix some milk powder for him to drink.

Sure enough, just as she was holding Fu Bao out, Fu Yan Cheng, fearing his dear son wouldn't get full, had already come forward holding the prepared milk.

Chuxue very naturally handed Fu Bao to her, went back into the room to find paper and pen, sketched out two design drafts, and only then came out of the courtyard: "Sister, take a look at this."

Xia Qiu took the paper, and her eyes immediately lit up: "Sister, how is your brain built? These clothes will definitely look beautiful when made."

Hearing her eldest sister's words, Chunxiao, who had just entered the courtyard, came over: "This is too beautiful. No way, Sister, I want it too; I want a skirt like this."

Hearing this, Du Juan said: "How about we each have one outfit?"

Xiao Mu happened to come over: "What do you mean 'each have one'? People say good things come in pairs. This cloth ticket was sent by the Jiang family; don't listen to Chunxiao making a fuss over there."
