Chapter 1470: Wishes Come True 3
Chen Xueniang hummed softly and took out a small box from her pocket to hand to her.
"What is this?" Feng Qingxue asked.
"A birthday gift for Fubao." Chen Xueniang smiled, "In olden days, families who were slightly better off would start saving a dowry for their daughters from a young age, accumulating a little each year, and by the time she got married, there would be a substantial dowry. Fubao is growing up, and it’s time for us to start saving for her dowry."
As the only girl in the family, Fubao deserved the very best.
"Is it jewelry?" Chen Xueniang would prepare birthday gifts for her children every year; for boys, it was mostly clothes and footwear, but for Fubao, it always included jewelry, sometimes a piece, sometimes a set.
Chen Xueniang smiled and nodded, "I bought a pair of bracelets at the black market a few days ago, they looked quite pretty."
Feng Qingxue opened them and saw a pair of high-ice jade bangles with floating flowers. They were of delicate texture, tight structure, with a cold gleam that seemed to originate from the depth of water, and what was most beautiful was their vibrant color and lively patterning, like blue-green aquatic plants undulating in clear water.
"They were asking five yuan, but after bargaining, I got them for three yuan." In the black market, these things are the least valuable.
Feng Qingxue closed the box and smiled, "We mustn’t let Fubao see this before she grows up."
