"Jiao girl, did your mother-in-law send some more good things this time?"
Zhou Jiao was slowly making her way with a package when she encountered an old lady from the courtyard.
With a face full of curiosity, the old lady looked her over, and Zhou Jiao smiled and said, "There was a mention of children's clothes in the letter a few days ago, but I haven't opened it yet. Are you heading downtown?"
"No, my second daughter-in-law gave birth to a big baby boy early this morning. I need to rush over to see the baby."
"Oh, that's wonderful news. It's such great timing, the baby's here just in time to celebrate the New Year with you all. He'll surely be a filial child in the future."
The old lady laughed heartily, "Jiao girl, you really have a way with words. Thanks for the kind wishes. When the baby turns one month old, I'll invite you to have some noodles."
Zhou Jiao nodded with a smile.
