Chapter 1052: Chapter 1052: Truly Envious

Sitting inside, Zeng Baoliang’s old face turned red. They had come over this time because they had been provoked by the people at Zeng Family’s Old Residence, hoping to have Wensheng speak well on their behalf to Wenxiu’s husband and find a job for their son.

What they didn’t expect was that they had just stepped through the door when the Luo Family people arrived. They hadn’t even had the chance to mention it before they were outshone by the Luo Family’s grand gesture. In fact, his relationship with Wensheng was even closer than with the Luo Family.

But now, it was awkward whether they stayed or left, feeling dissatisfied if they left without mentioning it, but without any gifts or red envelopes to offer, staying felt just as inappropriate.

Zhou Guifang had everyone take out the things they had brought over. At that moment, neighbors from both sides came over and when they saw what the Luo Family had brought out, they were truly envious.

Two thick quilts with silk fabric, two new pure wool thin blankets, and two sets of beddings—all were the latest twill fabric with festive patterns, very pleasing to the eye when you looked at them.

Zhou Guifang smiled at Luo Wensheng, "Put them away. These are what your uncle and I prepared for you, hoping you will have a harmonious and happy life together."

Luo Wensheng’s eyes reddened, "Thank you, Auntie, thank you Uncle."

The quilts for his own wedding had been prepared to ordinary standards; he hadn’t expected his uncle and auntie to prepare such fine things for him.

Luo Daoren patted Luo Wensheng on the shoulder, "Your dad and mom are no longer with us, it’s only right for us as your elders to prepare a little something for you."

A neighbor chimed in, "Wensheng, this is your uncle and auntie’s heartfelt offering; these are all good quality items. Tomorrow, when the people from the bride’s side come over to escort her, they will surely be satisfied too, think of how much face you’ll gain."

Luo Qiao saw everyone was still gathered around looking at those items, so she went out the front door and saw several kids playing, "Kids, do you know where there’s a public phone booth?"

One of the boys raised his hand, "I know, I know, just go straight ahead and cross the road, then you’ll see it."

Luo Qiao took out a piece of chocolate from her pocket, "Thank you, here’s something for you."

The other children who were playing all gathered around, "What’s this?"

Luo Qiao handed the chocolate to the boy, "This is chocolate, it’s very tasty."

After saying so, she waved goodbye to the group of kids and turned to walk away.

Then, she heard a chorus of kids behind her, "Jiang Ling, share some with us to try."

Clearly, the kid named Jiang Ling wasn’t stingy, dividing the chocolate into six pieces, each child had a small bite, "It’s really good."

Luo Qiao went to the phone booth to call Peng Mingdong and reported the amount she needed, specifically asking for a bit more than the original and insisting they must deliver it before noon.

After hanging up, Peng Mingdong called the branch directly, making sure they would get everything ready and delivered by eleven o’clock.

Having finished her errand, Luo Qiao leisurely made her way back.

As she approached the gate, she saw a delivery truck pulling up.

The neighbors around her all looked over, "What’s being carried on this truck?"

A school-going kid shouted, "It’s a refrigerator; it’s written on it."

The left and right neighbors who heard the shouting all came out to watch; this refrigerator was a novel item, and outside of the residents living in the big houses behind, this was the first to be received in the area.

Before Luo Qiao could call for help, someone shouted into the yard, "Wensheng, Wensheng, someone’s brought you a refrigerator."

Everyone inside the house came out when they heard the shouts, and the Zeng Family folks followed behind, all stunned by the sight of the refrigerator on the small truck at the gate.

Luo Wensheng, who was at the front, stuttered upon seeing the refrigerator on the truck, "I, I, I didn’t buy a fridge."

The delivery driver checked the address on the order, "That’s correct, the address is written here—isn’t your name Luo Wensheng?"

Just as Luo Wensheng was about to say something, Luo Xuyuan came forward from behind, "Uncle, this is a wedding gift from us siblings to you."

Luo Wensheng was a bit confused, "A wedding gift from you to me, but I’m your uncle."

Luo Xuyuan laughed, "It’s true that you’re our uncle, but there’s no rule that says the younger generation can’t give a wedding gift to an elder, and besides, we are older than you in age."
