Chapter 859 - 0859: Mandarin Ducks Frolic in the Water 1
What gift is appropriate when visiting a friend’s house?
Since coming back from the hot springs, Feng Qingxue had been pondering this question, so much so that she did not even hear Xibao calling her several times.
Seeing Xibao looking at her with puffed cheeks, Lu Jiang, holding a sleeping Fubao, laughed and said, "What’s there to hesitate about? We can just give them whatever we have, just so long as we don’t touch upon our compatriots’ taboos."
After listening to him, Feng Qingxue quickly came up with an idea.
Basang Zhuoma was a girl, and all girls love to look beautiful, so skincare products would be a perfect gift.
Even though Feng Qingxue herself used part of her skincare products, like lotions and creams, in repurposed snow cream jars to avoid attracting attention, it did not mean that she refrained from buying contemporary skincare items such as Yashuang snow cream or clam oil.
If she didn’t purchase them, sooner or later people would start to become suspicious of her seemingly endless supply of snow cream.
Therefore, Feng Qingxue prepared two bottles of Yashuang snow cream, two bottles of Youyi (Friendship) snow cream, several boxes of clam oil, a bottle of shaving water, two bars of soap for Basang Zhuoma, and also prepared two volumes of precious books for the old chieftain.
Lately living in trepidation, she had bought many copies as soon as the selected works of the old leader were published and sent to the troops.
Utilizing the remaining time, Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue taught the children etiquette, particularly that you should not look around everywhere when a guest in a Tibetan home, nor face others with the soles of your feet, and not to spit, clap your hands, and so on.
"Mom, I’m very well behaved, and everyone likes me a lot," Xibao said with overflowing confidence.
