Chapter 478: Chapter 473: Going Back to My Hometown for a Tricky Matter 08 [Explosive Update 02]

--------------------

After enjoying a feast prepared by Yan Jinsu, Lin Caixia had the deepest "reaction" of all!

For having eaten the meal personally crafted by her sister-in-law, she amazingly felt her breast milk getting abundant, it came faster, and there was more of it. When Xiao Ba woke up hungry in the middle of the night, just one feeding settled him until dawn!

It had been nearly half a year since something like this happened!

For her, it was an immense joyous occasion!

Originally planning to stay only for one night, Lin Caixia, upon seeing Xiao Ba fare better and experiencing an increase in her milk supply, shamelessly decided to extend her stay for two more nights to learn from Yan Jinsu how to care for her health and pick up some childcare tricks.

In this aspect, Lin Caixia had to admit, she saw that when it came to child-rearing, she really wasn’t as skilled as her new sister-in-law, the new mom!

Even with her mother-in-law by her side, if she didn’t have her own set of principles, it wouldn’t have been possible to bring up Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi in such a fine fashion!

Haven’t you seen that Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi, just over five months old, yet not half a year, already sprouted their little mung bean teeth, and those little legs, so full of strength. Xie Jinggang held Xiao Shi for just over ten minutes and simply couldn’t keep up, panting as he put Xiao Shi back to bed.

And that’s a little girl!

Because of this, Xie Jinggang even wondered if he was getting old—one could hardly believe that he couldn’t handle his little niece who was less than half a year old!

It was truly embarrassing!

This was the fundamental reason why Lin Caixia finally decided to stay another night.

With Fourth of her family coming home, Yan Jinsu had planned to visit Uncle Zhang the next day but had to postpone it. Fortunately, Uncle Zhang sent word, asking her to settle her household affairs first and then come over to sit for a while.

If necessary, couldn’t family visit each other?

Uncle Zhang didn’t say much in his message, but his thoughts were on Shanni who is now taking care of two children, having been away for nearly a year—her room would surely need a thorough cleaning. The Xie family has many members, and being away for a long time, Shanni and her husband would certainly need to visit their elders first upon their return.

It’s a matter of etiquette, and Uncle Zhang wouldn’t bring up such a concern.

As for Uncle Zhang, he thought even more beyond that. The children hadn’t reached half a year in age, and with farming season approaching, he wanted to take advantage of the good weather in the next few days to finish home affairs first and then visit Shanni, to see how her children were faring.

Honestly, Yan Jinsu wanted to visit today, but since she couldn’t, she planned to see all the village elders in her own village first, then visit Uncle Zhang’s home tomorrow. She truly missed Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang, the old couple, after not seeing them for so long.

If her husband was the first person who had shown her kindness, then Aunt Zhang was the first old lady to treat her with true care.

Therefore, her affection for Uncle Zhang’s family was, aside from the Xie family, the closest she felt toward any elder.

On the other hand, she also needed to visit the Chen family, out of both courtesy and personal matters.

Taking advantage of the parcel’s arrival, during this one night, Xie Tiesheng and Zhou Xiuhua distributed various prepared gifts into the hands of everyone.

The most generous gift was for Xiao Ba, who received a pair of silver bracelets. This was Xie Tiesheng and Zhou Xiuhua making up for the full moon gift they hadn’t given to Xiao Ba. It reddened the faces of Lin Caixia and Xie Jinggang with embarrassment.

They hadn’t expected that after one trip away, their parents still thought of their family back home! Especially the little Xiao Ba whom they had never seen for a day, making Mr. and Mrs. Xie feel particularly remorseful.

Now that they had returned, they certainly wanted to compensate the little one. The whole family, far from uncivilized, sat together, engaging in intimate conversation, creating a lively and warm atmosphere.

The next morning, Yan Jinsu rose early, fed the children, then entrusted them to her mother-in-law while she personally delivered various gift packages to the Xie family’s elders, eventually reaching Family Head Zhou and completing a visit to all the well-known elders in Qingfeng Village.

She left the house after eight in the morning and came back three times, each time her tote bags stuffed full to the brim.

Seeing the second sister-in-law being so thorough with her courtesies, Lin Caixia truly marveled: The second sister-in-law really knows how to conduct herself.

Yan Jinsu was unaware of others’ exclamations about her, and after distributing gifts to outsiders, she finally began arranging the gifts for her own family, including for multiple nephews and sisters-in-law, all of which she prepared meticulously.

For her nephews, it was simple—one book each, be it a collection of quotes from famous people, a storybook, or a calligraphy practice book. In any case, it was up to the boys to choose, with each picking one.

It was even simpler for her nieces—one outfit, along with some hair ties, was enough to delight Xiao Wu.

As for the children of her eldest sister, in addition to the small clothes that had been given to her by Xiaojiu in advance, she gave them a can of milk powder. The same went for Lin Caixia’s Xiao Ba; this child was too young for books, so she directly gave milk powder, a genuinely good gift.

Xiao San and Xiao Liu were in-between ages where she couldn’t show favoritism, so she let them choose books as well. The Xie Family members all valued education, knowing that giving books was never a mistake.

The rest of the female relatives were easy to handle—the milk powder for Xiao Ba was hers, and Lin Caixia also had her share of gifts. After all, it was just six feet of fabric each for two sisters-in-law, along with the eldest sister; it was that simple for Yan Jinsu to dispense.

Of course, this year, since Xie Jingzi couldn’t return home for the New Year, she had already given the gifts she had prepared for various nephews to Yan Jinsu in advance.

As for sending tokens of affection to the sisters-in-law through the little aunt?

Ha, at this time, it wasn’t yet customary for little aunts who hardly went out to give gifts to sisters-in-law.

For her to give gifts to the Third Sister-in-law, she wouldn’t hesitate, but to give to the eldest sister-in-law? That’s out of the question—it’s better not to give at all.

From the perspective of the sisters-in-law, it’s even less likely for them to expect an unmarried little aunt to give them gifts. Being able to prepare something for the children, they were already taking advantage.

It’s nearly been a year since Yan Jinsu returned, and giving gifts to sisters-in-law and nephews seemed quite normal.

Compared to the surprise shown by the women at home upon receiving their gifts, Xie Jingwei placed even greater importance on the small crib brought back by their father!

He discovered that with this small crib, the children could play on their own in the bed, completely surrounded by barriers, eliminating any worries of them falling off the bed. The adults could also rest assured and attend to their own matters—it was incredibly practical!

When he heard Yan Jinsu say with a smile that the crib was made by their father, Xie Jingwei looked at Mr. Xie with surprise—

When Xie Tiesheng first arrived in the county town, he didn’t have anything to do.

The cured meat shop was opened by his wife and youngest daughter. Seeing that his wife was more competent than him, he pondered for a while but really couldn’t find a way out.

A simple and honest farmer, he was so anxious he almost went looking for his water pipe to smoke!

It wasn’t until the baby baskets for Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi were completed that he found something to do that suited him—carpentry work.

At that time, Yan Jinsu was only about six months pregnant, and when she saw the exquisite, safe, and thoughtful cribs and bassinets made by her father-in-law, she took a liking to them.

Li Xiaxia and Qin Yanzi happened to visit together and, upon seeing Mr. Xie sanding, they took interest immediately, asking where he had gotten them from.

As soon as Xie Tiesheng mentioned that he had made them, Li Xiaxia immediately asked Mr. Xie to make one for her, as her cousin from her hometown was about to give birth, and she was worried about what to give as a congratulatory gift. Upon seeing the adorable and practical bassinet, she immediately fell in love with it.

Seeing Li Xiaxia was the wife of his third son’s colleague, Xie Tiesheng on the spot agreed to help, making Qin Yanzi regret not speaking up faster. She had to follow up, insisting that she wanted the second one.

With the strong promotion by Li Xiaxia and Qin Yanzi, a market gradually opened up, and Mr. Xie, being a perfectionist and responsible in his work, insisted on crafting everything with fine detail, for fear that an imperfect creation might injure a baby during use.

Once Mr. Xie set his heart to it, the quality was assured—
