"Xiao Bo, make yourself at ho and have so tea."
Lin Fu said enthusiastically, "By the way, are you guys hungry? If you are, I can make so food for you."
Lin Xiaoyan pulled her father aside, "Dad, no need, we ate on the way here."
She looked at He Qi’an, "Have you booked a hotel?"
He Qi’an shook his head; he ca straight over after getting off the plane and hadn’t booked a hotel yet.
Lin Fu chid in, "Why book a hotel? Just stay at our place!"
Lin Xiaoyan: "Our place is too small, it’s too cramped to live in. And with Xiao Bo, we’ll go out and book a room later with Qi An and Xiao Bo.
Oh, Dad, the house I bought, you arranged for soone to renovate it this year, right? So we have a place to stay when we return later."
Thinking of the house she bought before, Lin Xiaoyan quickly told her dad to renovate it to avoid having nowhere to stay later.
Lin Fu: "Don’t worry, I arranged for soone to work on your house before the New Year. It’s simply decorated, the walls and floors are done. When you have ti, go take a look and tell how you want to decorate it. I’ll personally go and fix it up for you!"
Lin Fu is in the renovation business and he takes a keen interest in his daughter’s house.
Upon hearing that her father was already tidying up the house, Lin Xiaoyan felt deeply touched, "Dad, you never told and I haven’t given you any money..."
"No need for money, we didn’t contribute when you bought the house. As for the renovation costs, leave it to !" Lin Fu said decisively.
Lin Xiaoyan didn’t argue; her dad is very stubborn, especially in front of so many people—the more you talk, the more stubborn he gets. She planned to transfer the money directly to him when she left.
"Dad, we’re going out to find a hotel." Lin Xiaoyan stood up, pulling He Qi’an and heading out.
Lin Fu also stood up, "Alright, co back after booking the hotel, tonight I’ll cook..."
Lin Xiaoyan: "No need to cook, Dad, let’s eat out tonight. I’ll go tell my brother and sister-in-law, so you don’t have to busy yourself."
Lin Fu thought about it and nodded in agreent.
In the evening, during dinner, Lin Xiaoyan suddenly rembered the gifts she bought for her family were left at ho.
"The gifts I got for you all are in the suitcase," Lin Xiaoyan said looking at everyone.
Fan Lalan’s smile widened upon hearing her sister-in-law had bought them gifts.
"Why did you get us gifts? We have everything we need."
Lin Xiaoyan: "I initially bought it for An’an, but then I saw suitable ones and bought them for everyone! Later, let’s drop by Mom and Dad’s place, Sister-in-law, you look at the gift I got for An’an."
Fan Lalan nodded with a smile, "Sure, no matter what Aunty buys, An’an will love it."
Lin Xiaoyan looked at her nephew munching on his little fingers, full of affection.
He Qi’an, seeing how much Lin Xiaoyan adored the child, thought to himself about when they will have kids in the future...
After dinner, back at ho, Lin Xiaoyan took all the things she bought out.
"Dad, this is for you."
"Mom, this is yours. Sister-in-law, here, check if these clothes fit? If not, you can send them back for an exchange."
"Bro, this is for you!"
Lin Xiaoyan distributed the items she had bought to each of them.
Lin Mu looked at the array of things—clothes, shoes—and felt a bit distressed that her daughter spent so much money.
"Why buy so many? You already bought us gifts for the New Year, and now again..."
Lin Xiaoyan took out a gold necklace and put it around her mother’s neck, "I just want to buy things for you. Being far from ho, all I think about is you guys!"
Hearing this, Lin Mu felt both pained and happy.
Fan Lalan looked at the necklace around her mother-in-law’s neck and imdiately complinted it, "Mom, the necklace Yanyan bought for you is beautiful; wear it tomorrow."
Lin Mu touched the necklace on her neck and playfully scolded her daughter, "Spending money recklessly again, buying sothing so expensive."
Lin Xiaoyan hugged her mother’s neck, "Mom, this is my way of showing respect. I’ve grown up, and from now on, you should just enjoy life!"
Hearing her daughter’s words, Lin Mu’s eyes instantly turned red, tears welling up.
"Seeing you all happy is my greatest joy!" Lin Mu expressed her heartfelt feelings.
Parents are just satisfied seeing their children doing well.
Lin Xiaoyan took out the small bracelet and gold lock she had bought for her nephew.
"This is for An’an!"
Then she took out a necklace for her sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, pick one of these two, one for each of us."
"And these too, Dad, Bro, I got watches for both of you."
The items were laid out, and everyone was stunned.
They thought the clothes and shoes were enough, but here were such precious items too.
Especially Fan Lalan, not only did the little sister-in-law buy an expensive bracelet and gold lock for her son, she even bought her a gold necklace, this is...
Fan Lalan pushed the necklace back, "Yanyan, you bought such expensive things for An’an, I can’t take this necklace, you should wear it."
Lin Xiaoyan placed the necklace back in her sister-in-law’s hand, "Sister-in-law, the gift for An’an is from , his aunty, as it should be!
You should keep the necklace. You, , and Mom—we each have one!"
Lin Hao had already put the watch on his wrist, smiling and admiring the branded watch on his wrist. He looked at his wife, "Just keep it, and treat Yanyan like your own sister from now on!"
Lin Hao blurted out the words without thinking, but Fan Lalan blushed upon hearing it.
Embarrassed at her past pettiness.
The next day was An’an’s full month celebration.
Fan Lalan’s family arrived early.
Fan Lalan put on the outfit her sister-in-law had bought for her directly.
Mrs. Fan observed her daughter’s very good spirits and felt relieved, it seed like she had had a good postpartum month.
Fan Lalan’s sister-in-law imdiately noticed the gold necklace around her neck and said admiringly, "Sis, your necklace is beautiful, must be expensive!"
Mrs. Fan also took a look, but after a glance, she turned her attention back to her grandson.
Lin Mu ca over to entertain the in-laws.
Fan Lalan’s sister-in-law noticed the gold necklace on Lin Mu’s neck too and her eyebrows raised, is the Lin Family well-off now?
Fan Lalan smiled and said, "This was bought for us by Yanyan, she also bought a gold bracelet and lock for An’an."
Mrs. Fan, surprised, exclaid, "Gold?"
Fan Lalan nodded with a smile, taking them out of the cabinet, "Mom, look, they’re heavy."
Mrs. Fan held them and indeed felt the weight.
"Oh my, Yanyan is so good to An’an. The bracelet I, his grandma, got is silver, didn’t expect Yanyan to get gold ones. Compared to her, I seem like a fake grandma!"
Mrs. Fan said with so embarrassnt.
Lin Mu quickly chid in, "Nonsense, how can you be a fake grandma? What the aunty buys is from the aunty’s heart, what the grandma buys is from the grandma’s heart.
Whether it’s gold or silver, they’re all from your love for An’an!"
Fan Lalan also noticed her mother’s discomfort and added, "Yes, Mom, don’t think that way."
