Chapter 501: 464 New Year’s gift (2 more updates)

Lu Han put down the fruit tray and pulled Tang Su’s hand, "Let’s go outside together."

"Hmm? What’s going on? Are the village kids coming to our house for red packets? It’s not even New Year’s yet." Tang Qiwen frowned, wondering why there were so many children chattering away; to the unaware, it seemed like someone had disturbed a sparrow’s nest in a tree.

"No, it’s not that. When we entered the village earlier, I promised the children I would give each of them two bags of Want Want gift packs."

"Two bags, huh? Those kids must be thrilled. Brother-in-law, you’ve really won them over, haven’t you? Hasn’t Tang Su already married you?"

"Exactly, there’s no need to spend so much money. There are really a lot of children in the village."

They all knew that Lu Han came from a well-off family, but he was a doctor in the otolaryngology outpatient clinic at Huanan Hospital. Even as a department head, his annual salary was limited.

It was just the New Year’s; there was no need to pour his whole year’s salary into it.

A couple’s life should be a steady and slow journey.

But this spending was just too extravagant.

"It’s fine, it’s not every day that I do this. I’ll come out with you, sister, sisters-in-law, take your time with the game."

"Okay, you guys go ahead."

When Lu Han left, he really left a thousand yuan on the table, "This is the amount I promised. If you lose, it’s on me. If it’s not enough, I’ll bring more later."

"It’s enough, it’s more than enough. We’re only playing with five yuan stakes, not fifty, thanks ah, brother-in-law."

"You’re welcome."

Hearing her family members calling him ’brother-in-law’ left and right, Lu Han felt quite elated.

So, spending a little money was nothing.

After all, can’t buy happiness with money, can you?

Once the two went outside, Tang Su saw a cluster of children’s heads at the door and felt a wave of scalp tingling.

She was not the kind of person who could manage being a kindergarten teacher.

Thus, Tang Su greatly admired those who worked as kindergarten teachers. They genuinely had a great affinity for children.

Being good to your own children is instinct, but being good to other people’s children is truly selfless.

Tang Su admitted to herself that she couldn’t do it. She could handle kids for a few minutes, but if she had to spend the whole day in a kindergarten, she feared she would go insane.

"Sister Tang Su and the handsome guy are coming out." Seeing the two of them come out, the children immediately cheered.

"Did you call everyone here?" Lu Han asked the tall one.

"I didn’t call them, they followed on their own, and there are a few who are very well-behaved and didn’t come." The tall kid’s eldest child answered honestly, responding directly to Lu Han’s questions.

"We’re obedient too, everyone be quiet and don’t make a fuss." The children who had come were also very conscious; they didn’t want to be labeled as the naughty ones.

"Okay, okay, you all are very obedient. Now, can you give me a count of the number of children? The goods will be delivered in a while, and when they arrive, you can come to Grandpa Tang’s house, okay?"

"Alright, but when should we come over?"

"Give me the numbers, how many children there are in total, how many boys, how many girls."

"There are fifty-six children in the village."

"Fifty-eight, including Chenchen who is in high school and Mumu," said another child.

"They don’t count as children; they’re high school students."

"That’s not right. My grandma says as long as you haven’t started earning money, you’re still a child. They still have to ask their parents for money."

"That’s just living expenses."

"Aren’t living expenses money?"

"..."

"So do college students count as children?" a little girl asked meekly.

The children finally settled down.

Tang Su was beyond amused.

The kids of today really know too much.

What was she like when she was little?

Following the elder brothers and sisters from the same village, she would go down to the river to catch fish and shrimp—innocent and naïve, not near as worldly as these little rascals.

These little brats all know about high school and college students, yet they still ask such questions.

"College students don’t like big gift packs," the tall boy said.

"Okay, then let’s say fifty-eight, Lu Han will count for sixty people. The extra, you guys can take and share, okay? Take your own home and save it for New Year’s, all right?"

"Yes, thank you, handsome brother."

"You’re welcome, how many boys? And how many girls?"

"Thirty-eight boys, twenty girls," the tall one couldn’t answer, and a little chubby kid did.

"Pretty even. All right, your elder brothers and sisters know now. You guys go home, have lunch, take a nap, then come over to line up and get it."

"Yay, let’s hurry up and leave."

Under the leadership of the tall boy, a swarm of kids scattered.

Just as Tang Su was about to get in the car, Lu Han pulled her back and made a phone call, "Longyi, there’s something..."

Tang Su: "..."

This sort of thing, she’s going to ask Longyi?

Longyi is probably going to be pissed to death.

True enough, not only was Longyi pissed to death, he was practically exploding with rage.

"No, Lu Han, have you lost your mind? You call me for buying big gift packs?" Longyi snapped, letting out his rage. With the New Year so close, Lu Han wouldn’t let him live in peace. Did he have a vendetta against him?

"Fine, I won’t ask you, I’ll ask Siyan," said Lu Han slowly and deliberately, knowing full well that Longyi’s Achilles’ heel was Long Siyan. For Lu Han, pulling his strings was not difficult at all.

Longyi: "..."

Longyi completely lost his temper.

"Tell me, how many do you want?"

"A total of sixty boxes of snack gift boxes. As for the snacks inside, let the shop assistant match them for you with their store’s top ten best-selling snacks. There’s no price limit; the key is that they must be delicious, thirty-nine sets for boys and twenty-one sets for girls."

"Additionally, one hundred and twenty packs of Wangwang gift packs, plus sixty boxes of nut gift boxes."

"What are you doing? Running a charity at the orphanage?" Longyi’s volume lowered as he heard what Lu Han wanted to buy, and so did his temper.

"No, just appeasing the village kids. Buy them quickly and then have some trustworthy people deliver them to Tong Village below Hua City. I’ll share the address with you in a bit."

"Got it, need it delivered today?"

"Yeah, it would be best if you could have it sent over in three hours."

"Lu Han, I truly regret ever meeting you," Longyi gritted his teeth.

"You won’t, you’ll be very grateful for knowing me in the future," Lu Han replied with a faint smile.

Longyi: "..."

Gritting his teeth, Longyi thought Lu Han’s skin had grown incredibly thick after he got married, speechless.

After hanging up, Lu Han raised an eyebrow, "It’s sorted, no need to worry."

"It’s the New Year and you’re angering Longyi like this, is that really okay?"

"It’s fine, I’m just creating opportunities for Long Siyan," Lu Han said and then took up his phone to send a reminder to Longyi, "Oh, and if you’re not sure, you can bring Long Siyan along. She would know which ones are tastier."

"Thanks so much," Longyi replied.

In the end, Longyi still sought Long Siyan’s help. When he told her that these were things Lu Han wanted, she happily agreed to go with him to the snack wholesale city to help Lu Han finalize this matter.

"Those kids who can receive care from Lu Han and Tang Su are really fortunate," Long Siyan said thoughtfully.

Longyi drove, noncommittal.

Yes, the children who received New Year’s gifts were lucky, but he was extremely unlucky.
