On this day, the whole Xu Family gathered together for dinner.
Xu Qinghe and his wife, Xu Nianji's family of four, Xu Nian'an who was about to get married, and the very pregnant Xu Nianhua.
The fire in the living room was blazing, and everyone was seated on the sofa around it. Xu Nianhua was munching on sunflower seeds and asked, "Mom, what's with all the fanfare today? What do you want to do?"
"Nianji, Xiaohe, you're both at home today. Mainly, I want to talk to you about something." Ji Ying took out three boxes and said, "One for Xiaohe, one for the soon-to-be family member Xiaoxi, and one for Nianhua as well."
"Don't tell me these are gold bracelets?" Xu Nianhua muttered, opening the box. She got a big shock—sure enough, gleaming gold bracelets! By the look of it, they seemed pretty hefty, too.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Xu Nianhua glanced at the gold bracelet in her hand.
Zhou He opened her box and, sure enough, it was just like Xu Nianhua's—a gold bracelet.
