The next day, Zhang Shanni, carrying gifts like Santa Claus, dressed in bright red and with a face full of joy, distributed the presents.
The fruit wine and old liquor were already known by father-in-law early in the morning; hearing from his daughter-in-law that, except for the old liquor which was to be gifted, the rest was for family consumption, he was given control over it.
This delighted Xie Tiesheng immensely, as a lover of liquor, there is nothing he cherished more.
The grandmother similarly adored the golden hoop earrings, which were as big as thumb heads, that her daughter-in-law gave her. These earrings, even in future times, were very popular and considered a classic design.
The daughter-in-law was generous and she accepted them freely; the two women got along well now, no less than with her youngest daughter. Moreover, since it was a gift from her daughter-in-law, definitely approved by her son, she accepted it with even greater joy.
The little aunt was greatly surprised by the watch her Third Sister-in-law secretly gave her, who hoped she’d understand that "time is gold" and to cherish it, filling her eyes with emotion.
Xiaoqi was overjoyed with a bow-knotted hair clip, happily running around the house. Even Xiao Si, who finally received a small slingshot, was absolutely thrilled.
That small slingshot was still somewhat a toy, specifically collected from the early days of the apocalypse; Zhang Shanni used it as an essential item for luring and battling monsters alone.
The whole family was happy, everyone smiling cheerfully, even Xiao Si who heard from now on, he would have to write daily with his little aunt, was smiling.
Upon hearing this, Xiaoqi also clamored to write, much to the old lady’s delight.
Subsequently, Zhang Shanni took the gifts and left the house accompanied by her little aunt, first visiting Sister Xiaxia’s home, but surprisingly no one was there.
Then she heard from her neighbor, Mrs. Rong, that Sister Xiaxia had arranged to visit Sister Yanzi to check on Sister Fei.
Zhang Shanni then smacked her forehead, Oh right!
Lin Aifei had completely fallen out with her mother and sister, and her husband was returning to the military soon, but she was still lying in the hospital, with the hospital in charge of her meals—truly pitiable!
When Zhang Shanni, supported by her little aunt, arrived at Lin Aifei’s hospital room, they saw quite a few Mrs. Rongs there, all showing concern and comforting her.
Seeing Zhang Shanni arrive, they also shared a few smiles and chatted briefly until a nurse came to ask for quiet. Aside from Sister Xiaxia and Sister Yanzi, the other Mrs. Rongs tactfully stepped away.
Zhang Shanni, seeing Lin Yingxia silently following the group out without saying a word, felt very strange—how could she suddenly become so settled?
"Sister Fei, are you feeling better?" Zhang Shanni smiled and nodded to everyone, sat beside the bed and then softly asked Lin Aifei.
"I’m fine, just that day, I’m really sorry, if it wasn’t for my foolish sister stirring up trouble again, you wouldn’t have been so affected..."
"Hey, no worries, Sister Fei, don’t feel guilty. Furthermore, the doctor said I just got a fright, and it turned out to be nothing serious afterward. But how about you? How have you been eating these past days? Is your body better now?"
"Thanks to Sister Xiaxia and Sister Yanzi who took turns making soup for me, plus the medication prescribed by the doctor, I’ve improved a lot."
"Where does that come from? We are all Mrs. Rongs, life isn’t easy for anyone, what’s wrong with helping each other? Why are you thanking me repeatedly?" Li Xiaxia was straightforward and couldn’t stand Lin Aifei’s repeated polite tone.
Qin Yanzi, listening, completely agreed, frequently nodding, "Little Lin, you’re too polite, that’s not good, it doesn’t foster unity among us Mrs. Rongs!"
