"Ask your father to call your eldest brother. I'll call your second brother." Mother Jiang urged her husband beside her. Then, she asked him to use the landline at home to call Jiang Jie in their hometown. Then, she asked Jiang Yao to get her phone to call Jiang Lei.
Just as they had expected, Jiang Lei agreed without hesitation. When Jiang Jie heard this, he also agreed. When Jiang Jie's wife found out about this, she did not object at all. On the contrary, she was quite happy.
After the phone call, the smiles on Father Jiang and Mother Jiang's faces deepened.
"Your eldest brother and your second brother have both agreed. Hurry up and call Lao Wu and tell him that we've acknowledged Chu Sheng as our goddaughter. Ask them when they're free. Your mother and I have to prepare first." Father Jiang said, "Your eldest brother said that he's bringing your sister-in-law and child to meet this godsister."
Acknowledging a goddaughter was a big deal. According to the customs of their hometown, Father Jiang and Mother Jiang needed to prepare a new set of clothes for Chu Sheng, including shoes and socks.
They had to invite their relatives over for a meal. Chu Sheng was about to get married. As her godparents, Father Jiang and Mother Jiang also had to prepare some dowry for their goddaughter.
People in the countryside with ordinary conditions would give their goddaughter a set of new clothes when she got married. However, because Father Jiang and Mother Jiang's three children were all promising, they gave them a lot of filial piety. They usually did not spend much money in the countryside, so the children did not need their help with money. Therefore, Father Jiang and Mother Jiang were quite well-off.
When Lu Xingzhi called Chen Xuyao, Father Jiang and Mother Jiang started to discuss.
"What do you think we should buy for Chu Sheng?" Father Jiang asked. "I don't know what to buy for a girl's clothes."
At this point, Father Jiang shouted at Lu Xingzhi, "Ask Lao Wu, what size clothes does Chu Sheng wear?"
"There's no need to ask. She's wearing the same size as I was before I got pregnant. Her feet are two sizes bigger than mine." Jiang Yao smiled. "It's hot now. Let's buy her a dress."
Jiang Yao was happy from the bottom of her heart. "Dad, Mom, when are you going out? I'll go with you to give you some advice."
"Your belly is so big. Don't squeeze into the mall. Let's ask Xiaoxiao to accompany us." Mother Jiang waved her hand.
"A pregnant woman's right to go shopping has been taken away …" Jiang Yao sighed and shook her head. Seeing that Lu Xingzhi had finished his call, she tugged at the corner of Lu Xingzhi's shirt and said, "After I give birth and am out of confinement, you have to go shopping with me!"
In addition to the confinement period, she would have to hold it in for a whole year.
"Okay." Lu Xingzhi liked the way Jiang Yao acted coquettishly in front of him. "After you're out of confinement, I'll go shopping with you for two days."
After saying that, Lu Xingzhi said to Father Jiang and Mother Jiang, "Lao Wu said that he and Chu Sheng can go shopping anytime. He'll let you decide the time."
"Alright then. I'll look through it later to see if there are any good days recently." Father Jiang nodded and agreed. Then, he said to Jiang Yao, "I just discussed it with your mother. We've decided to buy Chu Sheng a gold bracelet on the day of the reunion and give her and Lao Wu a red packet. What do you think?"
"Sure." Jiang Yao nodded.
This was the kind intentions of the two elders. As elders who had been living frugally all their lives, they could decide to buy a gold bracelet for their goddaughter and wrap it in a red packet as a gift. Anyone could tell that they really liked their goddaughter.
