Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

When Wen Tang went with Gu Yanli to buy clothes for the Gu family, she saw the silk scarf that she had given to Feng Jiao and Feng Wei last time.

Upon seeing the silk scarf, Wen Tang was reminded of Director Wang.

Director Wang never made things difficult for her regarding the soap; he always did his best. She had nothing to offer him in return, so it wouldn't be right to just give him two packets of tea.

So when I saw a silk scarf, I spent a fortune to bring one back.

I'll just wait until the next time I go to the commune to bring it to Director Wang.

Before she even arrived, Director Wang came to her house first.

The scarf was handed to Director Wang, and just by looking at the packaging, Director Wang knew it wasn't cheap.

Wen Tang also told her, "I went to visit my boyfriend in Haishi a few days ago and saw this scarf. I thought it would suit you very well, so I brought it back. Please don't mind it, Director."

Director Wang naturally didn't mind; even if you have money, you can still get coupons for things from Shanghai.

However, Wen Tang's husband is a soldier in the military, specifically in Haishi. It's normal for him to have some rare coupons, and I've heard that he's also a battalion commander.

Director Wang held the packaged silk scarf, and although he liked it very much, he still pushed it away, saying, "This... is too expensive."

Wen Tang smiled and shook her head, "It doesn't cost much, it's just that the color is nicer."

"Really?" Director Wang stroked it, clearly liking it very much.

“Really,” Wen Tang assured him sincerely.

"In that case, I'll accept it."

"Don't bother sending it anymore, I'm going back now." Having accepted the gifts, Director Wang didn't have anyone else deliver them.

Wen Tang stopped and said, "Then, Director, please drive carefully."

"Okay, go back now," Director Wang said, hopping on his bicycle, waving goodbye as he rode away.

Only after making sure she couldn't see anything behind her when she turned around did Wen Tang lift her foot and leave.

Suddenly, an order worth two thousand yuan appeared, and Wen Tang started to get busy, as did Zhong Meixian.

Wen Tang was busy buying lard everywhere, while Zhong Meixian was scooping clams everywhere. Fortunately, it was summer, so there were plenty of clams.

The day after they finished their preparations, it was time for Chi Yue's family to bring gifts to the child.

On this day, not only Chi Yue's family members came.

Relatives from both the Gu and Lin families also came.

On this day, Lin Jingshen took leave and stayed home, and Gu Shuhe also took a day off to help out. Everyone started working early in the morning.

Gu Jin also arrived at the Gu family home early to help.

There are many people attending the banquet, so a lot of dishes need to be prepared, and the dishes need to be prepared well in advance.

The Gu Yinfeng and Gu Xiaohua families also arrived around 8 o'clock.

After the two arrived, they first went to the Lin family to see Chi Yue and the child, gave the child money, and then came out to help.

While they were working, they inevitably talked about Chi Yuesheng's child, praising him and saying, "This child will definitely look like his mother when he grows up. Look at those double eyelids, they're so beautiful." Gu Xiaohua said.

Gu Yinfeng also said, "Her skin is fair, and fair skin adds to her beauty. This girl will be beautiful no matter how she grows up."

Gu Jin also smiled and said, "It's because Jin Feng is a lucky child."

Everyone praised their family, and Gu Jinfeng, the grandmother, was beaming with joy.

Zhong Meixian sat behind the stove with her arms crossed, remaining silent.

She remained silent, and at that moment, no one noticed that she was unhappy.

The old lady was in a bad mood, so she suddenly said loudly, "Our Xiaotang said that she will build a new house for the family in a while."

Her words successfully changed the subject, and both Gu Yinfeng and Gu Xiaohua were surprised, "Really?"

When will it be built?

"Sister-in-law, what kind of building are you planning to make?" Gu Yinfeng asked Wen Tang, who was busy preparing the dyed fertilized eggs.

Wen Tang didn't even look up. "Build a brick house."

"Wow, that's a lot of money!"

Zhong Meixian immediately raised her chin proudly.

Hmph, what's so great about being able to have children?

All women can give birth, but can all women build red brick houses for their families?

She's clearly lucky to have found such a good daughter-in-law.

Speaking of the house, Gu Yinfeng couldn't help but ask, "Sister-in-law, how are you doing?"

Wen Tang: "Huh?"

What's wrong with her?

Gu Yinfeng pointed to her stomach.

"Watch where you flip the pan, you've burned all those peanuts. All you do is talk, talk, talk!!!" Before Wen Tang could even speak, Zhong Meixian bared her teeth at Gu Yinfeng.

Gu Yinfeng quickly took a ladle and stirred the peanuts a couple of times.

then……

No, it's not burnt!

She wanted to speak, but Gu Jinfeng and Gu Xiaohua both gave her meaningful glances.

Gu Yinfeng didn't understand at first, but she chose to keep quiet.

Chi Yue's family arrived around 10 a.m.

When a daughter gives birth, her family usually sends her a hen, eggs, brown sugar, and new clothes, shoes, and a swaddle blanket for the baby.

Some people with better conditions will also receive homemade fermented rice, long noodles, and small rocking machines as gifts.

Nowadays, most people don't have good living conditions. They have to make their own chickens, eggs, brown sugar, and new clothes, shoes, and blankets for their children.

But Chi Yue's mother was stingy, and probably knew that three chickens were too ugly, so she gave away two hens and one rooster.

There was only one small basket of eggs, so small that everyone doubted whether it could hold thirty eggs.

There were about six packets of brown sugar.

The children's clothes consisted of one newly made set and another set that was clearly old.

You can also tell from the swaddling blanket that it's made of old cloth.

When these things were brought into Chi Yue's room and opened, everyone could see them.

Upon seeing this, the expressions on the faces of everyone in the Gu family turned sour.

Especially Wen Tang.

She's the kind of person who can tolerate being wronged herself, but she absolutely cannot stand seeing her closest friend suffer.

“They say customs vary every ten miles, and it seems that’s true,” she said with a smile, picking up the old clothes and blanket. “Look, your place is only one village away from ours, and the customs have already changed.”

“Our maternal grandmother always insists on new clothes and blankets for the newborn baby.”

Chi Yue's mother, who had been smiling, immediately turned cold upon hearing these words.

Seeing that Wen Tang was young, she looked at him with a half-smile and asked, "And who is this?"

Wen Tang covered her mouth and laughed sarcastically, "Oh dear, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Yueyue's aunt."

"I made a special trip back from Shanghai to buy the baby a lot of new clothes!"

Wen Tang showed the child to everyone, "Look at the clothes the child is wearing. Feel them, aren't they soft? I bought them all from Shanghai. I bought a total of six sets."

When Wen Tang said she was her aunt, Song Dayan looked at her with some surprise for several times.

It's obvious that Wen Tang's aunt is Lin Jingshen's uncle's wife.

If it were Chi Yue's aunt, then it would be her brother's wife or sister-in-law, and she should be standing next to her right now.

It seems that Lin Jingshen's uncle is in the military in Haishi.

But why is Lin Jingshen's aunt so good to the child?

It's one thing to make a special trip back from Shanghai, but to buy six sets of clothes for a small child?

Is it appropriate for such a small child to be dressed properly?

Song Dayan thought that when no one was around, she should have a good talk with Chi Yue and make her more careful. Since this aunt was so easy to please, she should let Chi Yue earn more money in the future. Wouldn't it be better to use that money to buy new clothes for her younger brother than to give this tiny little girl clothes?
