Chapter 1253: Chapter 1075: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

And so, they cheerfully arrived in the county town. Nan Feng then took out a pre-written shopping list from her bosom and handed it to Xia Dabao, "This one mainly includes food items. Take a look and see what we need to buy. You and Axian will be responsible for the rice cakes and peanut sunflower seeds category, while your father and I will go buy firecrackers and couplets. Let’s meet at the noodle shop ahead in an hour."

Nan Feng’s arrangement was exactly to Xia Dabao’s liking. Xia Dabao quickly took the list and started shopping with Axian.

Perhaps because the list resembled the little notes she used to correspond with Long Aixi, she suddenly thought of him.

"Axian, haven’t we not received a letter from Aixi for several months now?" Xia Dabao asked Axian.

Axian, who was still too young to grasp the concept of months properly, replied with all seriousness, "It has been a while since any pigeons flew in."

Xia Dabao pondered aloud, "I wonder how Aixi and the others are doing now. Right, the last letter said they were planning to stay on an island for a while. I wonder if they’ll return to Fuxian for the New Year. But he must be having so much fun now that he’s forgotten about everything else, I guess. Well, he will write to us when he remembers us."

Axian nodded solemnly in agreement.

"Then let’s hurry up and buy stuff," Xia Dabao said. "Even though Mom gave us a list, she also said we can buy whatever we like. We can buy more, since Sister has money," Xia Dabao’s attention was already entirely focused on the food.

An hour later, Xia Dabao and Axian made their way back to the noodle shop Nan Feng had mentioned, where Nan Feng and Xiaobei were already waiting. Their family’s carriage was parked beside them, loaded with many things Xiaobei and Nan Feng had bought.

"Dad, Mom, what did you buy?" Xia Dabao knew that her parents didn’t want them to follow because it was a tradition for them to buy New Year gifts for her and Axian, and there were always surprises every year.

The sharp-eyed Xia Dabao immediately spotted two boxes, one large and one small, placed amid the couplets and paper-cuts. She quickly picked them up and then asked Xiaobei, "Are these for me and Axian? The big one is mine and the small one is Axian’s, right?"

Xiaobei couldn’t help shaking his head, "No, the big one is for your mother, and the small one is for you, containing two hairpins."

"Dad, you’re so biased," Xia Dabao said, still holding onto a sliver of hope. Although the gifts were of different sizes, their value could still be the same.

However, time and again, the truth was proven: the gifts Dad gave to Mom were always the best.

In the box were two hairpins. The one for Mom was made of white jade, while Xia Dabao’s was made of wood. Who didn’t know that white jade was much more expensive than wood?

Xia Dabao stuck out her tongue, "Hmph, Dad is not just a little biased, he’s biased to the extreme."

Nan Feng chuckled, "It’s not like it’s your first time knowing your dad. Let’s not talk about that now, come down and have a bowl of beef noodles. After we eat, we’ll head back to the village."

Food was still the most tempting thing for Xia Dabao. She immediately let it go and hurriedly sat down with Axian to eat.

But in fact, Axian was the most wronged one. As he sat down, he thought: Mom and Sister both have gifts, but Axian has none.

"Axian, you have a gift too. I’ll show it to you when we get home, but you need to eat your noodles well," Nan Feng noticed the look of dejection on Axian’s face. With small children, emotions are always plainly displayed on their faces.
