Chapter 2026: Chapter 2028: A Grand Gift

This was something the siblings had agreed upon, to buy something valuable for their mother to keep.

The Capital City is more prosperous than their small county, so they took this opportunity to buy gifts during their visit.

When it comes to what women love the most, it’s accessories, so Xiaoxiao decided to buy this set and bring it back.

Gold jewelry is soft, the bracelets are open-ended, and once you put them on your arm and press them in, they won’t fall off. The gold bangles are also open-ended, adjusted to fit the hand, then wrapped with red thread as a final touch. Gold earrings can be worn directly.

There’s no need to worry about size, and it’s better than buying a jade bracelet.

Gold jewelry not only looks prestigious here, but it’s also considered high-class even in modern times.

Although the designs of the gold jewelry here are somewhat limited, mostly smooth with the occasional small pattern, it doesn’t detract from the significance they represent.

"Mom, let me help you put them on."

As Xiaoxiao spoke, she helped Yang Ming’s mother put on the jewelry.

Yang Ming’s mother was overwhelmed with emotion. It was gold, something she never dared to dream of wearing in her life. Yet here she was in her old age wearing such precious things.

She let Xiaoxiao handle everything, and within a few moves, Xiaoxiao had all the jewelry on Yang Ming’s mother.

Afterwards, Xiaoxiao handed her a bronze mirror, "Mom, take a look, does it look nice?"

Seeing herself in the mirror, Yang Ming’s mother felt resplendent in gold, "Yes, it looks beautiful."

Others in the room chimed in too.

"Beautiful, Mom, you look really nice with these."

"Our sister-in-law sure has an eye for things. Mom, you look several years younger instantly."

Hearing this, Yang Ming’s mother smiled. That rascal, how could he be flattering her like this, claiming the jewelry made her look younger? It was nonsense, but even though she thought that, she couldn’t help but feel delighted.

Yang’s father was also genuinely happy. If he had wronged anyone in this life, it would be his old wife, who had endured much hardship with him. Even her meager dowry had long been used to support the family. Thankfully, the children were filial.

Seeing this scene, Xiaoyao couldn’t help but feel a bit envious. No wonder Xiaoxiao was reluctant to leave, with such a good family and someone she loved deeply. If it were her, she might also find it hard to leave. "Auntie, you’re truly blessed to have such filial children."

At this moment, Xiaoxiao started pulling things out again, "Dad, don’t envy mom; there’s something for you too."

Upon hearing this, Yang’s father felt a bit embarrassed, "What did you get for me? I don’t lack anything; it’s enough to get something for your mother."

Though he said that, he secretly hoped for the same treatment as his wife.

Xiaoxiao chuckled, understanding his thoughts perfectly, and brought out a jug of liquor and a set of exquisite wine decanter and cups, "Dad, I know you love drinking, so I got you a jug of this liquor. It’s famous in the Capital City, said to have come from the south."

The one thing Yang’s father loved was a little drink. He couldn’t drink much and often got drunk, but that never stopped his enthusiasm for drinking. Though the family was poor before and he had to restrain himself, now that they weren’t poor anymore, he never missed his small daily drink.

After much thought, Xiaoxiao believed this would surely please her father-in-law.

And indeed, his eyes lit up when he saw the liquor. Beaming, he said, "Alright, let’s have a bit as a family later and taste what makes this southern liquor different, using this set of cups. After all, our third son finished his exams and returned, so let’s celebrate a bit."
