A few days later, Song Yao received a delivery from Zuo Huo.

It was a cardboard box 180 mm high and 200 mm wide.

She called Song Xiao and the others to carry the luggage in. Coincidentally, Sun Hao came back from the county on his newly bought bicycle. When he saw Song Yao and the others carrying the luggage, he quickly stopped the bicycle and came down to help.

“So many things… Brother Zuo Huo sent them to you, right?” After Sun Hao finished speaking, he glanced at the sender on the cardboard box. Indeed, the word Zuo Huo was written on it!

Song Yao’s face turned red. Sun Hao smiled and teased, “I heard from Aunt that you and Brother Zuo Huo are getting engaged after the new year! I wonder what Brother Zuo Huo sent you.”

“Then he must have sent a love letter to my sister!” Song Xiao also joined in the fun. “I heard that people in the city give their wives roses! I wonder if Brother Zuo will give them..

“Don’t talk nonsense!” Song Yao interrupted Song Xiao’s words and blushed in her heart.

Even though she was already past the age of a young girl in love, Song Yao was still silently looking forward to what gift Zuo Huo had sent her.

A rose? A love letter?

None of them were right! If it was really such a small thing, why would it be in such a big box? Could it be clothes and toys for Baby Xuan?

If that was the case, Song Yao was quite happy.

At the very least, Zuo Huo really treated Baby Xuan as his own son. It was not in vain that Baby Xuan kept talking about the handsome uncle.

Song Yao had already taken out her knife and opened the box.

Unexpectedly, what greeted her eyes was a large bouquet of roses!

The roses should be fresh, but it had been too long since they were transported from the capital to Shangqiu County. The originally fresh roses had dried up, but they did not look ugly.

Song Yao took the flowers out and realized that there was a greeting card attached to the flowers. It said, “I heard that you girls like roses. I think you should like them too.”

Song Yao’s face turned red. She put down the flowers and continued to look through the things inside.

It was a new style white dress with polka dots. There was a big black bow on the back of the dress. It was obvious that it was the latest design in the capital.

Song Yao picked up the dress and tried it on. Indeed, Zuo Huo had impeccable taste!

As she scrolled down, Song Yao realized that Zuo Huo had given her family a gift.

Song Ping’s gift was a well-designed pipe, while Gu Li’s was a pearl necklace of excellent quality.

Zuo Huo even bought a lot of milk powder and toys for Song Xuan. Not to mention Song Yao, even Gu Li praised Zuo Huo as a considerate son-in-law when she saw him.

In addition, Auntie Liu’s gift was a pair of Hetian jade bracelets, and Song Xiao’s gift was a pair of sneakers.

In the end, Song Yao saw an exquisitely wrapped jewelry box at the bottom. It looked like the last surprise that Zuo Huo had meticulously prepared for her.

Could it be a wedding ring for proposing? Song Yao held her breath and opened it. Inside was a whole set of gold jewelry and a whole stack of foreign exchange coupons!

Even Gu Li was dumbfounded.

She had lived for so long, but this was the first time she had seen someone give her gold!

In the 1980s, the average salary was only a few dozen yuan. They could not afford expensive jewelry like three gold coins and one diamond. Those who could buy these three big pieces were considered rich.

The so-called “three big pieces” were still what people in the city said. Few families in the countryside could afford these. Usually, those who could buy a radio and a watch after getting a wife were considered very decent families.

Back then, when Song Yao and Yu Yong got married, Yu Yong’s family had even quarreled with Gu Li because Song Yao’s family wanted a watch.

Holding the gold in her hand, Gu Li was happy for Song Yao from the bottom of her heart.

She held Song Yao’s hand and said excitedly, “Zuo Huo is really considerate! How can he send the betrothal gift over before the engagement?”

She anxiously took a bite of the gold. It weighed half a catty!

“Even an 18-year-old girl doesn’t get such treatment!” Gu Li didn’t mind that Song Yao was remarried. She was just worried that Zuo Huo would despise her.

But now that Zuo Huo had sent so many expensive things over, Gu Li was so excited that tears were about to flow out!

“What did I say? Zuo Huo is a reliable child! You definitely won’t be wronged if you follow him!”

Song Yao smiled. She was also worried that Zuo Huo would value her so much. At the same time, her heart began to ache. Just the shipping fee alone would cost a lot of money. Coupled with this gold jewelry, it would cost at least ten thousand yuan, right?

She didn’t expect Zuo Huo to think so highly of her! Song Yao’s heart warmed.

Just as she was about to take out the golden ring and try it, she saw an unopened letter on the table.. It was signed by Zuo Huo!
