Chapter 154: Reciprocation

Song Yao was busy opening the envelope. There were only a few short sentences written on it:
[I’m ashamed to say that I’ve known you for so long but don’t know what you like, so I took the initiative to buy you a set of clothes and asked the people around me.
My colleagues said that women liked flowers and beautiful clothes. My mother also said that women liked gold…
I thought about it for a long time and decided to buy all these things. I hope you like my New Year gift! Yao, our first year is coming soon!
…J
So Zuo Huo had given her so many expensive gifts, but it was only a New Year’s gift?
Song Yao was caught between laughter and tears. Which man would give such precious gold jewelry as a New Year’s gift?! And such a huge bouquet of roses!
Gu Li was even more surprised. There were already so many New Year gifts. How many betrothal gifts would he give when she got engaged in the future?
At night, after Song Yao coaxed Baby Xuan to sleep, she tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
Zuo Huo had given her so many New Year’s gifts. Should she give him something in return?
Song Yao had originally planned to send Zuo Huo a hand-knitted scarf before the new year after she was done with her work.
But now that Zuo Huo had sent so many things back, it was probably not good to just send scarves.
What should she give him?
Song Yao got out of bed and was about to take a sip of hot water. She went downstairs and realized that the lights in the living room were still turned off. Gu Li and Song Ping were sitting on chairs in deep thought.
Seeing Song Yao go downstairs, Song Ping said, “I saw what Zuo Huo gave you. This young man has indeed put in a lot of effort! However, the two of you are not engaged yet. Shouldn’t you give him a gift in return?
“Yes, I saw that he gave you a whole set of gold. He probably spent a lot of money! It’s unreasonable for us not to return the favor!” Gu Li was not the kind of woman who liked to take advantage of others. Zuo Huo had given their family so many things, so they could not not not express anything.
If word got out, wouldn’t people say that she, Gu Li, sold her daughter?
She said, “Tomorrow, Mom will bring you to the county to take a look. Buy whatever is expensive for Zuo Huo. We can’t afford gold, but it doesn’t mean that we can’t give nice gifts!”
Song Yao nodded. “That’s what I think. Let’s go to the department store tomorrow. There might be a lot of new goods to be served there.”
Song Ping also nodded. “You’re right. Buy more New Year goods while you’re at it.”
Although Song Yao had sold a lot of New Year goods recently, the people in

calendar and lantern wine in the capital had been snatched up. There were only a few catties of sunflower seeds and peanuts left. They had to buy some New Year goods.
Gu Li smiled and replied, “I’ll also go to town to order two new clothes for Yao. She’s about to get engaged. How can she not have more clothes!”
Song Yao said, “Mom, I have enough clothes to wear. I don’t need to buy new ones, right?”
“Why not? You’re already engaged, why are you still wearing old clothes? You have to change into new clothes for me, do you hear me?” Gu Li’s tone was very excited.
In the past, when her Yao married Yu Yong, in order to cater to her in-laws, she even used an old blanket. She could only blame herself for not having much money at that time!
But now, she had long become a ten-thousand-yuan household in the town. What was the deal to buy a few clothes? She still wanted to prepare more dowry for Song Yao and a few new blankets!
“By the way, have you discussed with Zuo Huo where you’re going to stay in the future?
Song Yao said, “In the capital. He plans to buy another courtyard in the capital. The two of us will move in together.”
“The capital is good. It’s a good place! If you really move to the capital, you have to bring me there!” Song Ping had wanted to go to the capital for a long time, but he had never had the chance.
At the mention of the capital, Song Ping’s eyes lit up. “I’ve always wanted to take a look at Tiananmen Square!”
Gu Li smiled and said, “When you were dating me, you said that you would bring me to see it! Now that Yao is about to get married, it’s still Yao who will bring us there!”
“I haven’t had the time. When Yao gets married, I’ll bring you to the capital for a few more days!” After Song Ping finished speaking, he still wanted to coax Gu Li, but Gu Li pushed him away.
“Forget it, I’ll help take care of my grandson!”
After Gu Li finished speaking, she looked at Song Yao. “By the way, Yao, I heard that family planning in the capital is in the limelight. If you and Zuo Huo get married, you won’t be able to have children anymore..”
