Chapter 971 - 0971: Meeting the In-Laws 4
Although Xibao was not with them, Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue did not neglect any of the proper rites.
Once they returned to the guesthouse, they hurried to prepare the gifts.
"Originally, we only took out the batch of gold from under the bed. We’ve already used one of our two boxes; Tianjun and Tianzhi’s are still there, but it’s unfortunate that we can’t take it out. Who would carry a box of gold around without reason? Some of the dowries that our mother and sister-in-law brought are still in the cellar under the cowshed, and we haven’t retrieved them; they can’t be of use," Feng Qingxue thought about it for a moment, her eyes suddenly lit up, "The pair of gemstone bracelets that my sister-in-law said she would pass on to a daughter-in-law have always been in my possession. Tomorrow, I will put them in the gifts to show our respect."
Even though the phoenix’s eyes lack gemstones, their significance is different.
Lu Jiang nodded slightly, "You decide on the gifts; I don’t understand these things well. However, when we return home this time, before going back to the unit, let’s take out the valuables from under the cowshed and leave some grain in the cellar. Even when we’re not home, Dad and the others won’t lack food. The cellar is airtight; we don’t need to worry about the grain getting moldy or damp."
When Feng Qingxue heard this, she said, "Take it out? How do we explain that to Dad? Where do we hide so many things? Besides, it’s not just Dad living in the cowshed; any noise would wake everyone up."
"Isn’t the brigade planning to build them houses? We’ll do it after they move into the new houses," Lu Jiang had already planned this.
As for how to explain to Lu Jiang’s father, Lu Jiang looked at his wife with a smile, "Do you think Dad has never suspected? Even I, who am not as smart as Dad, guessed it; how could he not know at all? He just never mentioned it."
