Chapter 377: A Generous Gift

Duan Zhanji was well cared for by Duan Zhao. Although he was physically weak, he had bright eyes and rosy cheeks, and looked like a cute and well-behaved little child.

Su Nuannuan loves children like this the most.

She squatted down, cupped Duan Zhanji's face in her hands, rubbed it, and said happily.

"Little Zhanji, do you still remember your aunt?"

Being treated like this by a woman for the first time, Duan Zhanji blushed with embarrassment. However, he liked Su Nuannuan treating him this way.

He stammered.

"I...I remember, you're my aunt."

Duan Zhanji subconsciously followed Duan Huaying in calling Su Nuannuan "Auntie." Seeing that Su Nuannuan was still smiling and didn't object, the little boy was even happier.

He gently tugged at Su Nuannuan's clothes with his little hand.

Looking at the adorable Duan Zhanji, Su Nuannuan couldn't help but kiss him on the forehead.

Duan Zhanji had never been treated like this before. His face turned as red as a shrimp, and he dared not look Su Nuannuan in the eye.

His shy little face made Su Nuannuan laugh.

Seeing how much Su Nuannuan liked Duan Zhanji, a thoughtful look flashed in Chu Mingzhou's eyes.

Duan Zhao returned at this time. Thinking of the information he had learned from the commander about Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou, Duan Zhao looked at the two of them differently.

The military undoubtedly held the most favorable view of the two. Chu Mingzhou, needless to say, was another case. The medicines he developed were also being used by their unit.

Although Su Nuannuan is low-key, she has performed surgeries on many people in the military, and her medical skills are quite excellent. Several leaders at the top are aware of Su Nuannuan.

Duan Zhao felt the warm and lively atmosphere at home, and his smile became even more genuine.

He prefers the liveliness of the present to the quietness of the past.

What pleased him even more was that Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou did not ignore Duan Zhanji and were very friendly to him, which made Duan Zhao very happy.

After greeting everyone, Su Nuannuan asked Chu Mingzhou and the others to take out the things they had brought.

Su Nuannuan immediately took out the brown bear doll she had chosen for Duan Zhanji and handed it to the little guy.

"Little Zhanji, this is something your aunt made especially for you. See, do you like it?"

In this era, there were no rag dolls. Su Nuannuan had no choice but to shamelessly claim that she made them herself.

The adorable appearance of the brown bear doll instantly captured Duan Zhanji's heart. His small body rushed forward to hug the doll.

The brown bear doll was about half the size of Duan Zhanji. He held it in his arms, and its head was not visible at all. From a distance, it looked as if the brown bear doll had grown legs.

This scene immediately amused everyone present.

The brown bear doll's adorable appearance was loved not only by Duan Zhanji, but also by Zhao Yalan and Duan Huaying.

Zhao Yalan stroked the soft brown bear doll and exclaimed in delight.

"Warm and cozy, what a cute little bear! You're amazing."

Su Nuannuan coughed awkwardly, then smiled and said.

"I'm glad Zhanji likes it. This brown bear doll doesn't shed easily, so it's perfect as a toy for little Zhanji."

The brown bear doll was filled with real, soft cotton, which made Duan Zhao speechless.

If the older women in the courtyard saw them, they would definitely say that their family was wasting money.

Instead of making cotton clothes, perfectly good cotton is turned into teddy bear toys that are only for show and not for use. Most people can't help but exclaim that it's a waste of money.

In fact, Duan Zhao also felt that it was a bit wasteful.

However, when Duan Zhao saw his son's genuine affection for the teddy bear, he felt that the bear wasn't so bad after all.

Duan Zhanji was overjoyed; he absolutely loved the gift Su Nuannuan had given him.

"Auntie, thank you! I love the teddy bear so much!"

Su Nuannuan smiled and ruffled Duan Zhanji's hair.

At this moment, Duan Huaying leaned over with a hint of jealousy and said...

"Auntie, don't forget about me. Don't forget about Huaying just because you have Zhanji."

Chu Huaying's words made everyone laugh involuntarily. To be honest, Chu Huaying's square face showing a pitiful expression was really hilarious.

After Su Nuannuan smiled, she spoke.

"Don't worry, you'll definitely get your share. You're graduating high school next year. Your uncle and I have prepared a watch and a pen for you."

After saying that, Chu Mingzhou took out two boxes and handed them to Duan Huaying.

Duan Huaying's eyes widened.

Watches are a luxury item these days. Chu Huaying hadn't noticed this before. But since starting high school here, she's also been influenced.

In his eyes, only capable adults wear watches.

Now, Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou have given him a watch, which makes Duan Huaying's heart pound.

"Are you...really going to give me a watch?"

Su Nuannuan smiled and said.

"Yes, and there's also a fountain pen."

Then, Su Nuannuan gently ruffled Duan Zhanji's soft, fine hair and said.

"When Xiao Zhanji graduates from high school, your uncle and I will also give you a watch and a pen."

Apart from Zhao Yalan and her worldly-wise parents, Duan Zhao, Xiong Li, Xi Lun, and Zhou Wei were completely dumbfounded.

I thought Duan Zhanji's brown bear doll was outrageous enough, but I didn't expect Duan Huaying's gift to be even more outrageous.

Who gives a watch as a gift when their child graduates from high school?

The fountain pen is one thing, but the watch is just too eye-catching.

Duan Zhao swallowed hard.

He also owns a watch, but he only bought it after working for five years. The watch strap is worn smooth, and the watch itself has been repaired many times.

Looking at his somewhat worn-out watch on his wrist, Duan Zhao shook his head.

Can't compare, really can't compare.

Now, he feels that he really got a great deal by marrying Zhao Yalan.

He had no doubt whatsoever about Su Nuannuan's promise to her son.

Looking at his son's bewildered eyes, Duan Zhao felt a pang of jealousy and couldn't help but grumble to himself.

Why didn't he meet such generous aunts and uncles when he was a child?

This is just the appetizer.

After everything in the sack was taken out, everyone was stunned by the shock.

Now, even if Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou come up with something even more outrageous, none of them would be surprised.

Simply put, they are already immune.

Zhao Yalan was somewhat surprised to see the gifts piled up on the table.

Su Nuannuan brought a rich variety of things, including fabrics of various colors for making clothes, all kinds of dried seafood and dried pork, beef and mutton, snacks that Duan Huaying and Duan Zhanji liked to eat, rare and fresh fruits and candies...

With these things, Zhao Yalan and Duan Zhao don't need to buy any New Year's goods this year.

After the initial shock, Zhao Yalan was overwhelmed with emotion.

She knew that Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou sent so many things because they hoped she could have a good time here.

She looked at Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou, her eyes slightly red, and said.

"Nuan Nuan, Ming Zhou, thank you for spending so much."

Su Nuannuan smiled and said.

"It's nothing. You're my and Mingzhou's older sister, it's only right that we be together."

Zhao Yalan smiled and nodded, her heart filled with gratitude.
