Zheng Sisi withdrew her hand and rummaged in her sleeve pocket, took out five glass marbles, and spread them out in front of the little boy.

"Xiao Hao, this is a gift from your aunt. It's glass marbles. You can only play with them but not eat them!"

When everyone heard about a gift they didn't know the name of, they all stretched their necks to take a look. When they saw a few round, transparent beads, they all said in unison: "Wow! So beautiful!"

When the little boy heard the wow sound, he thought someone was going to snatch his beautiful gift, so he reached out and grabbed it to his chest and said, "This is a gift from my aunt."

Everyone was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. The younger cousin teased him, "Xiaohao, I'm only lending it to you to take a look at. I don't want it to be yours."

Xiao Hao protected her even more closely and quickly ran back to throw himself into his mother's arms. Now no one could snatch her away.

Everyone was amused by his actions, which also eased the depressing atmosphere.

Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Zheng Sisi called Rose over. Rose was holding a tray covered with a piece of cloth, which was a gift Zheng Sisi had prepared for her this morning.

She took the tray and placed it on the tea table in the middle of the chairs, lifted the cloth on it, and said to everyone, "This is a gift I prepared for you."

He took out two steel thermos cups. "These are cups that can keep the water warm. Grandfather and my third uncle are outside every day and need to go to the military camp. It is very convenient to use these to hold water or tea, and the water will not get cold."

I handed the cup to the two of them. They took it with both hands and stared at it intently, mainly because they had never seen it before. The cup was smooth and delicate, as if it was made of silver, but harder than iron, and yet light and beautiful.

Duke: "Granddaughter, how do I use this?"

Zheng Sisi took the cup and explained:

"Oh, there's a lid here. Turn it this way and it'll open. Turn it the other way and it'll close again. As long as you tighten it, the water won't flow out."

The Duke took the cup, tried to twist it, and it really opened. He looked inside and saw that it was bright.

The father and son twisted it several times and couldn't let it go.

Zheng Sisi took out another large mirror and gave it to the Duke's wife, "Grandma, this is for you. It's called a mirror. It can be used for dressing up."

When the Duke heard the word mirror, he immediately looked over and exclaimed, "Isn't this the Emperor's mirror?"

Zheng Sisi was confused: "I did give the emperor a mirror, but how did you know?"

The third uncle exaggeratedly recounted what happened at the court yesterday, saying that all the civil and military officials were envious of it. But the emperor was stingy and only let everyone take a look at it before taking it away.

Zheng Sisi was speechless after hearing this. The emperor was too arrogant, so she just gave him a warning.

"Grandfather, Third Uncle, please don't let the emperor know about your thermos cups, or you won't be able to keep them."

The father and son looked at each other and said, "Our granddaughter (niece) is right. If the emperor knew about this novel cup, he would definitely want it. Wouldn't that cause trouble for our granddaughter (niece)?" They nodded in unison.

Then he took a few small mirrors and gave them to his aunts, cousins ​​and sisters-in-law.

There were also a few glass bottles on the tray, which she had picked up casually from the cabinet in the living room. Fortunately, there were no words or labels on them, so she took them out as gifts.

Zheng Sisi pointed to the things on the tray and said to her cousin, "Here are glass bottles, you can choose yourselves."

After hearing this, several people reached out for the gifts they liked.

Everyone received a gift, and they were all curious about the gifts in their hands and looked at them over and over again.

Several women held the mirrors and praised, "This mirror is amazing. It can reflect people so clearly. I thought it was another me when I looked at it."
