680 Joyful

"Alright, alright. Let's open it up quickly, then bring them in one by one. Otherwise, do we leave it outside?" After saying that, Liu Fen went in to get the scissors. Xu Lan guarded the parcel without moving an inch and did not allow anyone to get close.

When the neighbors came out and saw Xu Lan sitting on the ground, they wanted to go forward and help her. They said worriedly, "Oh my! What's wrong with you? The ground is so cold. Why are you sitting on the ground? I saw you from afar."

Xu Lan smiled and said, "Look, these are the things that my daughter-in-law sent me. I can't carry them in myself so I'm just waiting here. Look at my daughter-in-law. I told her not to get too much stuff, but she doesn't listen and insists on sending me so many things. Sigh, really."

Liu Fen held back her laughter as she walked out of the house. She worked with the helper to slowly carry all the items in the parcel into the house. At this moment, Xu Lan was still talking about how filial Qiao Mei was, making the neighbors impatient.

"Your daughter-in-law is really nice. I won't talk to you anymore. I still have something urgent to do!" The neighbors hurriedly fled. Xu Lan did not think that she had gone overboard just now. Instead, she felt that she had not said enough good things about Qiao Mei.

She hummed a tune as she went back into the house. Her eyes were filled with joy as if she had won the lottery.

"Aren't you beautiful? It's as if you have the words 'my daughter-in-law, Qiao Mei, is the best' on your forehead! Didn't you see that the neighbor just now was almost scared to death by you," Liu Fen said with a smile.

Xu Lan hummed a tune happily and said, "Is that so? I still think I haven't said enough! How can just a few words describe how good my Qiao Mei is."

Liu Fen held up the dark blue dress and said to Xu Lan, "Then look at the dress your precious Qiao Mei made for you. Are you satisfied?"

Xu Lan hurried forward and held the dress that Qiao Mei had made. The fabric was from the capital and it was Xu Lan's favorite style.

"It's so nice! Look at these stitches! They're even better than mine! It's so beautiful! Let me tell you, when you find a daughter-in-law for your son in the future, look for someone like my Mei Mei! However, it'll be very difficult. After all, there's only one Mei Mei!" Xu Lan looked as if she had been possessed. Ever since she received this parcel, she had not stopped smiling yet.

Liu Fen placed the things from the parcel on the coffee table. As she put them down, she whispered to the helper, "Look at her. This is only a package from Qiao Mei. I wonder how happy she will be when Qiao Mei comes back!"

The helper also smiled as she looked at Xu Lan. She had worked in this family for most of her life. Ever since Xu Lan married into the family, she had been a helper in this house. This was the first time she had seen Xu Lan so happy.

In the parcel from Qiao Mei, there were not only Xu Lan's gifts. Qiao Mei had also prepared different presents for everyone else.

Xu Lan returned to her room and changed into the dress. She ran downstairs excitedly and asked, "Look! Do I look good like this! Take a look!"

Xu Lan pulled up the hem of her dress and walked around the room a few times. This dress was a little big on her because she had not been eating or sleeping well recently and had lost weight. Now that she received this dress as a gift, she would probably gain weight in a few days.

"It's beautiful! Look at this scarf and this pair of gloves. They're really well made," Liu Fen said admiringly.

Xu Lan opened the letter that Qiao Mei had written and took out the yarn vest from the other side before reluctantly handing it to Liu Fen.

"Mei Mei made this for you. Try it," Xu Lan said.

"There's even something for me! Let me try it! I like this color the most!" Liu Fen quickly put on the yellow vest. It was just the right size and fitted well.

"Sigh, I'm really envious of you for having such a good daughter-in-law. When do you think my two sons will get married! How worrying! Look at you, your daughter-in-law is like your daughter and is even more considerate than your biological daughter!" Liu Fen said enviously.

The rest of the things that Qiao Mei sent were put aside for the people they were meant for. They would call them tomorrow and ask them to come back. Xu Lan planned to send Xia Jun's present to him personally.

Xu Lan held the letter and read it over and over again. No matter how many times she read it, she did not feel tired.
