Chapter 474: A Parcel From The Mo Family

Gu Qingyao was amused. She immediately carried Mu Mu and sat by the bed. “Mu Mu, have you missed me?”

“Uhm! I missed you very much!” Mu Mu nodded his small head vigorously.

“Me too, me too. I also missed Young Aunt very much!” Mo Chengxu sidled over. The two faces looked so much alike. Even their expressions were the same.

These two children were so fun!

Gu Qingyao was in a good mood, so she said, “I’ll stay here all afternoon and play with you.”

“Yay!”

The two children were over the moon.

Gu Qingyao hugged Mu Mu and said to Mo Beihan, “Bring the parcel over and let’s see what’s inside.”

Mo Beihan nodded and brought over the enormous parcel that Old Master Mo had sent. When he opened it, the children’s small heads all gathered around it.

The parcel contained food and clothes.

Twenty kilograms of rice, ten kilograms of flour, ten kilograms of cornflour, a bag of dried sweet potatoes, a bag of brown sugar, two dried chickens, a side of bacon, a piece of mutton, and most importantly, four apples.

Fruits had always been a rare commodity. Although Gu Qingyao had plenty of them, the children had not eaten many of them before, and it was not convenient for her to bring them out.

To the children, these four apples were truly special.

“Wow! So many nice things!”

The rest were daily essentials.

A bag of cotton wool and a bag of cloth. What was most crucial was the care that had gone into selecting the cloth. There were pieces for the children, Mo Beihan, and even Jiang Yingqiu.

Then there were five sets of clothes that had already been made.

Mo Beihan had a black coat, and two new quilted jackets. Every stitch was handmade. Even Jiang Yingqiu had something. Hers was made of maroon material that was almost wine-red. In these times, this color was rare and most villagers wore black, blue or gray.

Jiang Yingqiu’s piece was not too conspicuous or eye-catching, but it was different from the usual colors. When she looked at the stitching, Gu Qingyao guessed that Grandma Mo had made it.

She had not only personally made clothes for Mo Beihan, Mo Chengrui and Mo Chengxu, she had even made a piece of Jiang Yingqiu. This must be her way of expressing her gratitude to Jiang Yingqiu for raising her two grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Besides that, there was a black and red checked woolen coat for Gu Qingyao.

This rather surprised Gu Qingyao. But it seemed reasonable.

The last time Old Master Mo had sent Mo Beihan things, he had remembered her too.

These two old people from the Mo family really knew how to please.

There were only clothes for Mo Chengrui and Mo Chengxu. At the moment, the two old folks who were far away in the capital did not know that the Mo family had another two great-grandchildren.

The children were stunned when they looked at the new clothes.

Mo Beihan took the clothes out. Of course, he gave Gu Qingyao hers and then gave the two children theirs so that Mo Chengrui and Mo Chengxu could try them on.

“These clothes were made previously, so there are only clothes for Little Rui and Little Xu. As for Mu Mu, Jiang Xun and the rest, there is plenty of cloth here. Later on, your grandma will make clothes for you. Everyone will have new clothes. No one will be left out.”

Jiang Xun was startled and he immediately waved it aside. “Youngest Uncle, there’s no need. We have enough clothes. Save the cloth for the younger boys. It’s cold now, they should wear a few more layers or they may catch a cold.”

Mo Beihan said, “There’s enough for everyone. No one will be left out.”

Jiang Xun’s eyes reddened and he fell silent.

But Jiang Yingqiu was surprised when she received her clothes. “For me? You made clothes for me? Son, if you have money you should make a few more pieces for Yao Yao. Young girl needs more changes of clothes. I’m an old woman, why are you making clothes for me.”

Mo Beihan wrapped the quilted jacket around her so she could try it on for size. He did not speak.

You deserve this!
