Chapter 67 Gifts for Family
The family had originally planned to have a simple lunch, but because Song Youan suddenly came back, it turned into seven hot dishes, two cold dishes, and one soup.

"Grandma, don't make Auntie work so hard, there's enough food for everyone."

Looking at the large table of dishes in front of her, Song Youan was both amused and exasperated.

"Yes, yes, you didn't even tell us you were coming back, otherwise your aunt and I would have gone to the market and bought some seafood or something."

The old lady smiled broadly, her eyes wide with admiration as she looked at Song You'an.

"I didn't say anything because I was afraid you'd mess things up."

Just then, Liu Xiujuan came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs: "You'an's favorite sweet and sour pork ribs, extra sour, your aunt remembers your taste."

"Thank you, Auntie. It smells so good! I've been craving your cooking." Song You'an quickly got up to take it, then asked, "Where's Uncle?"

"Never mind him." Liu Xiujuan wiped her hands on her apron and sat down, smiling as she said, "Your uncle was just transferred and promoted, he's been really busy lately. Don't they say a new broom sweeps clean?"

"My uncle got promoted?"

The old man smiled and nodded: "He got promoted. His former superior was transferred to the town government, and he promoted your uncle to that position before he left."

"That's great news!" Song Youan was happy for her uncle. "He's been in that deputy section chief position for so many years, it's time for him to be promoted."

Song Youan has always had a deep affection for her uncle and aunt, which is largely due to the close relationship between her maternal grandmother and her children.

Most importantly, Song Youan remembered that after her mother passed away, she overheard her family talking. Her uncle and aunt said that if her father remarried, they would take her in and raise her, and would never let her suffer from her stepmother's temper.

Of course, her father did not consider remarrying for her sake, but she always kept her uncle and aunt's words in her heart.

Like my aunt, they are my true family.

"Young man, don't be shy, eat more," the old lady said, not forgetting to encourage Yan Fei.

Liu Xiujuan secretly glanced at Yan Fei, wondering to herself, could he be You An's boyfriend?

Her age is suitable, but her looks are a bit average, not a good match for Youan, Liu Xiujuan thought.

Yan Fei was naturally reserved, because he could feel the way the You'an family looked at him, and he knew without a doubt that they had misunderstood.

He cast a pleading look at Song Youan, hoping she would explain herself.

Song You'an understood immediately and said, "I forgot to introduce him. His name is Yan Fei, my good friend. I happened to have some free time today, so I asked him to drive me back."

"Hello, Grandpa and Grandma, hello, Aunt." Yan Fei grinned foolishly, and his smile actually made him look much better.

The group exchanged glances subconsciously. Judging from You An's words, wasn't this her boyfriend?

"Oh right, Yu'an brought you a lot of gifts, they're still in the car. I'll go get them." Yan Fei said, then got up and quickly went out.

Seeing this, the old lady quickly called out to him, "Young man, don't rush, eat first."

But Yan Fei seemed not to hear him and didn't even turn his head.

Song Youan smiled helplessly: "Grandma, don't worry about him, that's just how he is."

The old man looked at Song You'an and said, "You're back, so why buy a gift? We don't lack anything. You can keep the money for yourself."

Liu Xiujuan also said, "That's right, we have everything we need at home. Look at all those things you just unloaded, the refrigerator, the dishwasher, the TV, we already have all of those, don't we?" "My aunt said during the New Year that the refrigerator was too small, and I've been keeping that in mind ever since. Let's get a bigger TV too, since my grandparents are getting old and watching a small TV is bad for their eyes."

"Oh, you silly child, I was just complaining casually, saying that such a big refrigerator can't be used?" Liu Xiujuan said, both amused and exasperated.

"Auntie, you only saw these things? Didn't you see the things I bought for you specially?"

Liu Xiujuan was stunned: "What? I didn't notice. The pot was about to burn. I didn't have time to watch them unload the goods."

Song Youan chuckled and said, "What else could it be? It must be Auntie's favorite thing—an automatic mahjong machine!"

"Huh?" Liu Xiujuan was startled, then burst into laughter: "You little rascal, are you trying to insult your aunt?"

The old lady laughed and said, "That's fine then. From now on, your aunt can just call people over to the house to beat them up, and she won't have to go out anymore."

Yan Fei then walked in carrying a bunch of gift bags, more than a dozen of various sizes.

Song Youan first picked up a small red package, opened it and found a gold necklace inside: "Grandma, this is for you. I remember my cousin gave you a bracelet during the New Year, so I'm adding a necklace to make a set."

"You child, you're always wasting money. Why should I, an old lady, wear gold and silver all the time?"

Although the old lady said that, her face beamed with joy.

She picked up the necklace and held it up to herself, then asked the old man, "Does it look good?"

The old man smiled and nodded, "Beautiful, beautiful."

Song Youan picked up an LV bag: "Aunt, this is for you. It's a new style this year, and it's hard to find."

Although Liu Xiujuan was a housewife, she was also the section chief's wife and knew all about these brand names.

"LV, Yuan? Oh my, this must cost tens of thousands!" Liu Xiujuan took the bag and carefully touched it. Fortunately, the designer bag didn't have a price tag, otherwise, if she had known that this bag cost 160,000, she would have jumped up.

"Why did you buy such an expensive thing for your aunt? She already has designer bags." Liu Xiujuan's eyes were a little red, and she was naturally very touched.

"You mean that Dior bag your uncle gave you? You were carrying that bag when I was in high school, and now I've graduated from college and you still haven't bought a new one."

"I've only ever received red envelopes from my aunt in my entire life, and I've never bought her any gifts. This is the first time, but it certainly won't be the last. I can't refuse!"

Seeing this, the old man said, "You should accept this from You'an."

Liu Xiujuan nodded with tears in her eyes: "Thank you, my dear niece."

She also bought tea and a high-end snuff bottle for the old man, and a tie and a watch for her uncle. In short, she didn't forget anyone in the family, and she brought a gift for each of them.

The family chatted and laughed as they ate their meal; Song You'an hadn't been this happy in a long time.

After dinner, in the kitchen, Song Youan was helping her aunt wash the dishes when she suddenly felt a weight in her pants pocket.

Looking back, I saw my aunt smiling at me mysteriously.

"What is it, Auntie?" Song Youan quickly dried her hands and reached for her things, only to pull out a bank card.

She was taken aback: "What are you doing?"

Liu Xiujuan said, "Your maternal grandmother asked me to give this to you. You've been spending money extravagantly on this trip. All these things must cost tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan, right? You should be careful with the money your aunt left you. Your maternal grandmother must have been worried that you didn't have enough money, so she asked me to give you this card. There's 50,000 yuan in it, and the password is your maternal grandmother's birthday."
