Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 639

Chapter 639: Chapter 635 Xie Family Guests Like Clouds 02

——————

Yan Jinsu saw the gifts brought by Zhang Family, Li Family, and Chen Family. Her gaze inadvertently caught her youngest brother’s wife’s face looking a bit downcast, and she felt helpless.

She knew that the gifts from Zhang Family were acceptable because they were a farming family and followed traditional customs, similar to what Lin Family brought, only slightly more expensive.

However, the Chen Family and Li Family were not ordinary farming families and their gifts were definitely different. She hadn’t even opened them yet, and Xie Jingchen had already taken them back to their own house, which made it quite awkward for her younger brother’s family.

Fortunately, Xie Jinggang had a bit of reputation at work and knew how to deal with people. Indeed, his colleagues also brought gifts, mostly fabrics or candies.

This was already much better than what most people from the rural area brought, which were usually just eggs.

Lin Caixia initially felt a bit uncomfortable, but after her husband patted her on the shoulder, she quickly regained her composure. Seeing that her sister-in-law’s expression did not change much, she finally relaxed.

Yan Jinsu also breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that her younger brother’s family did not take things too hard and did not make faces in front of the guests.

Chen Xiufang still listened to Yan Jinsu’s previous advice; although the preparations were a bit excessive, they were still within an acceptable range and did not entail lavish gifts like luxurious watches or bicycles.

If Chen Xiufang knew, she would probably grumble: after all those gifts had been given, how could she possibly repeat them?

Fortunately, rural people nowadays are all in need of daily necessities. Since her mother-in-law worked in a textile factory, it was relatively easy to get fabrics.

Yan Jinsu actually thought that the gifts from Chen and Li families were fine, it’s just that Xie Jinggang and his wife’s social circle was different from hers, which made the difference in gifts seem more pronounced.

On the sixth day of the new year, the Xie Family was busy from morning to night. Yan Jinsu was struggling to keep up by four o’clock. If it wasn’t for accommodating Zhang Family, Li Family, and Chen Family, she might have gone back to her room for an afternoon nap much earlier.

The Chen Family and Li Family came by car. Seeing Yan Jinsu’s sleepy appearance, Zhou Dahua [aunt] laughed. Pregnant women are indeed prone to drowsiness.

Besides, the Xie Family had been preparing wine these two days, so Ni definitely didn’t get much rest. Zhang Family then took the initiative to leave.

It was already four in the afternoon, not early by any means. Xie Jingchen originally wanted to keep everyone for dinner, but since Zhang Family wanted to leave, Li Family and Chen Family wanted to leave as well.

The Chen Family also came in their own car. Seeing that Uncle Zhang was old, they offered to give Zhang Family a ride, whereas the Zhang boys could only rely on their own legs.

Seeing this, Chen Xiufang let Li Family’s car take her mother and eldest sister-in-law, while Chen Family’s freed-up car accommodated Zhang Family. The trunk, filled with return gifts, barely fit all members of Zhang Family.

When Zhang, Li, and Chen families left, most of the guests at Xie Family house had gone. Lin Caixia also sent her maternal family off first, leaving primarily villagers behind.

Xie Jingchen first helped his very sleepy wife back to their west wing room, while Xiaojiu, the twin, had been taken by Xiao Si and Xiaoqi to sleep in the main hall earlier and might be about to wake up now.

With plenty of men in the house helping, he didn’t have to worry about miscellaneous tasks. Brother Rong, with a dark face slightly flushed, was now mostly concerned about Yan Jinsu’s clearly exhausted appearance.

As soon as they left the front courtyard, Xie Jingchen steadily supported his wife back to the west wing. He originally wanted to carry her, but Yan Jinsu wouldn’t let him.
