Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife-Chapter 1485: Be Good Friends 2

"Books and stationery from my dad for the baby!"

"Toys from my dad for the baby!"

"Candies and cookies from my dad for the baby."

"Baby sister’s dresses and dolls, hairpins—dad said the baby’s sister has grown up."

"Other toys and candies for baby’s other brothers and sisters. My dad said the baby should have other siblings since your country values having many children and descendants, so he prepared several gifts. I really admire his foresight."

"Belts and wallets for baby’s grandpa, dad, and other male family members, and we have several of each item."

"Wine for your whole family."

"Qingxue, my mom was tasked by my dad to prepare perfume, leather bags, silk scarves, little black dresses, jewelry, watches, and cosmetics for you—every woman’s favorites. My mom especially loves them and thinks you’ll definitely like them as well. But some need to be shared with grandma, because we weren’t able to prepare gifts specifically for her, and we’re so sorry about that."

Wang Cuilan waved her hand and laughed, "Give it all to Xiaoxue, I don’t want it. What would I do with all these things at my age? Perfume, cosmetics, scarves, dresses—I don’t need any of it."

"But still, thank you and your parents," said Wang Cuilan.

As Feng Qingxue interpreted, Christine stuffed a bottle of perfume, a silk scarf, and a set of cosmetics into Wang Cuilan’s hands, "Beauty knows no age, and everyone has the right to pursue beauty."

Wang Cuilan had no choice but to accept them, planning to give them back to Feng Qingxue later, as she truly had no use for them.

Christine then took out a gift box containing remittance coupons from her bag, "This is also for you, Qingxue, from me and my friends. My dad said giving this makes people happier than anything else."

Having accepted so many gifts already, one small box more didn’t matter.

Feng Qingxue said thank you and accepted it gracefully, silently thinking about what kind of return gift to prepare for Christine when she leaves, and how to make Christine feel as welcome as possible in the coming days.

"Alright, my mission is accomplished and I feel light as a feather. Lu, Xibao, Xiongxiong, and our beautiful little sister and adorable little brother, let’s all go out and take pictures!" Christine picked up her camera, "The red door in the snow looks so lovely, and the painted decorations on it, too. I want to capture that; we need a group photo to remember this by."

"That’s Old Lu’s house, we can go play there!" Xibao said.

"Really? That’s great, I’d love to get a glimpse of the interior of such a building, it’s a pity many places are off-limits."

Feng Qingxue had to follow along, being the last one out the door, and before leaving she said to Lu Jiang, "Make a list of the gifts we received today and submit it for approval, we can only accept them after it’s approved. Do we need to submit these items?"

According to regulations, gifts exchanged between heads of state must be taken into state ownership, and many gifts received by leaders are handled in this manner, with only food items being distributed to nearby officials and staff upon receipt. Although they haven’t reached such a high level, Feng Qingxue was still a bit concerned, worried that accepting the gifts would cause criticism.

The gifts brought by Christine were quite valuable, with jewelry and watches from renowned international luxury brands.

Lu Jiang laughed, "We must file a report, as accepting gifts privately can lead to punishment, but it’s not to the extent of needing to submit them. These were private gifts, not exchanges between heads of state, and besides, don’t we also have to prepare return gifts?" ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
