Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife-Chapter 1470: Wishes Come True 3

Chen Xueniang hummed softly and took out a small box from her pocket to hand to her.

"What is this?" Feng Qingxue asked.

"A birthday gift for Fubao." Chen Xueniang smiled, "In olden days, families who were slightly better off would start saving a dowry for their daughters from a young age, accumulating a little each year, and by the time she got married, there would be a substantial dowry. Fubao is growing up, and it’s time for us to start saving for her dowry." fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm

As the only girl in the family, Fubao deserved the very best.

"Is it jewelry?" Chen Xueniang would prepare birthday gifts for her children every year; for boys, it was mostly clothes and footwear, but for Fubao, it always included jewelry, sometimes a piece, sometimes a set.

Chen Xueniang smiled and nodded, "I bought a pair of bracelets at the black market a few days ago, they looked quite pretty."

Feng Qingxue opened them and saw a pair of high-ice jade bangles with floating flowers. They were of delicate texture, tight structure, with a cold gleam that seemed to originate from the depth of water, and what was most beautiful was their vibrant color and lively patterning, like blue-green aquatic plants undulating in clear water.

"They were asking five yuan, but after bargaining, I got them for three yuan." In the black market, these things are the least valuable.

Feng Qingxue closed the box and smiled, "We mustn’t let Fubao see this before she grows up."

"Girls should always dress up beautifully." Chen Xueniang enjoyed Fubao’s personality, as she herself liked to dress up, too, but the times didn’t allow it, so she had to present herself modestly, "I still have quite a few jewels, other than those intended for the boys’ dowries, the rest will all go to Fubao."

"Sister, don’t spoil her too much. Besides, it’s not like I don’t have any." Feng Qingxue’s space was filled with boxes of jewelry.

When Lu Tianjun brought Jiang Xiaoyue to meet the family, Feng Qingxue gave Jiang Xiaoyue a box of jewelry. Today, when Guan Cheng brought his wife home, she also took out a box of jewelry and accessories to give to Zhong Wenxiu before they left, calling them into the bedroom.

The quantity, of course, could not compare with Lu Tianjun’s, as Jiang Xiaoyue’s jewelry included things left by Lu Tianjun’s parents.

It was such a box of jewelry that made Zhong Wenxiu react with shocked gratitude, hastily waving her hands, "Auntie, I can’t accept this. Really, I can’t. Save it for Fubao or for Xibao’s future wife."

"Take it, don’t be polite with me. I treat my nephew’s wife the same as my own; these also include things Acheng previously traded from the black market." Feng Qingxue stuffed it in her hands, "Guan Cheng has already told you the specific situation of the Guan Family. From now on, the burden of rejuvenating the Guan Family will fall on you two; we can’t rely on that rascal Ayu."

Guan Cheng waved his hand, "Auntie, although I bought it, the money was yours; we can’t accept it."

"Yes, Auntie, we can’t accept it, and also, I live in the military, I have no place to keep it." said Zhong Wenxiu, who although born after the capitalist era didn’t enjoy the affluent lifestyle, living with her mother, she had seen more than the average person from a young age and understood the value of such luxurious items.

Feng Qingxue smiled, "If you don’t have a place to put it, let Acheng keep it for you."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Wenxiu still wanted to refuse.

She felt unworthy, as the Lu Family had raised and educated the Guan brothers so well, she was already immensely grateful, how could she split their wealth? In such times, keeping such wealth must have required a lot of effort.

At this point, Guan Cheng broke in, "Thank you, Auntie. Then I will accept it on behalf of Wenxiu."
