Chapter 250 - 49 Going Home for the New Year_2
"I know, I’ll send it over," Shen Chi responded, each of his hands carrying a bulky luggage bag, yet he didn’t seem to struggle at all. Over the past six months, thanks to the auxiliary exercises from medicinal baths, he had not only regained his former condition but also improved greatly. His strength, especially, was incomparable to what it used to be.
The house that the Shen Family bought in the provincial capital was similar to their courtyard in the county city, although the yard was a little smaller, the house was bigger and both the decoration and furniture were new.
Once they arrived home, Luo Yufang busied herself pouring tea for them, while Shen Xiu took a bag out of the room and called Little Niangao over, "Little Niangao, come and see, this is the new clothing your aunt bought for you."
Little Niangao excitedly ran over, and Lin Xiaoguai followed to take a look, frowning immediately, "Xiu’er, these must have cost a lot of money, right?" These were definitely not bought from a clothing store or street stall outside.
"It’s okay, I have money on me, and I don’t really spend the salary from the hospital on anything," said Shen Xiu with a smile.
What she didn’t say was that she hadn’t originally planned to buy her nephew such nice clothes, but after she had gone to the street stalls and clothing stores outside, she felt that those clothes were far inferior to what her sister-in-law made. If she was going to buy new clothes for her nephew to wear for the New Year, they couldn’t be worse than what her sister-in-law had crafted, could they? Later, at the department store, she still found the styles somewhat unsatisfactory, but at least the quality was acceptable. She chose a simple-style cotton-padded jacket and trousers in a beautiful blue color. She didn’t buy shoes; instead, she made cotton-padded shoes herself, learning from grandma.
Despite feeling a pang at the two months’ salary spent, thinking of how well her brother and sister-in-law treated her, and knowing her little nephew only came back once a year, her mood settled down.
After dinner, Lin Xiaoguai’s family went to bed, and indeed, as grandma had said, the bedding was newly sunned. They slept until the break of dawn, almost unable to emerge from under the covers.
