Chapter 128: Delivery Issues
"Xiao Hong, Shanshan, come in quickly."
Upon seeing Mo Xiaohong’s family, Ding Yuejun greeted them with a smile, while holding Mo Shan’s little hand tightly.
"Grandma, Shanshan missed you."
Mo Shan also held Ding Yuejun’s hand tightly. She had been staying here for a while and had never separated from Ding Yuejun and Yiyi. Now, suddenly living with the Zeng family, she was happy but still missed her grandma and little aunt.
Upon hearing Shanshan’s words, Ding Yuejun was delighted, holding her granddaughter closely, "Grandma missed Shanshan too. How about staying at grandma’s for two days before going back?"
"Okay."
Mo Shan agreed without hesitation.
However, Ding Yuejun still looked towards Mo Xiaohong for confirmation. After all, they were living with the Zeng family now and couldn’t act as casually as before; some things needed consideration.
Before Mo Xiaohong could speak, Zeng Jiahe already said, "Mom, when we came over this time, I intended to stay a few more days. But we’ll be troubling you and Yiyi for the next few days."
Hearing Zeng Jiahe’s words, Ding Yuejun couldn’t help but smile.
"We are all family. There’s no trouble at all. Just stay as long as you like."
And Mo Xiaohong looked at Zeng Jiahe with a smile. They had originally planned to stay for just one day, but unexpectedly, he said to stay a few more days. That’s perfect; she missed her mother and sister too, so staying a few more days was wonderful.
The family happily chatted together. Then, Ding Yuejun went to the kitchen to prepare the meal, and Mo Xiaohong wanted to help, but Yiyi gently pushed her out, "Sis, just chat with brother-in-law and Shanshan. Mom and I will be done soon." After all, her sister and the others were now guests, so she couldn’t let her work.
Ding Yuejun also smiled and said, "Xiao Hong, go and keep Jiahe company. Yiyi and I will be quick."
Seeing her mother’s determined expression, Mo Xiaohong didn’t insist further.
With Yiyi’s help, Ding Yuejun worked even faster, and soon, she had a whole table of delicious dishes prepared.
Looking at the table full of dishes, Mo Xiaohong couldn’t help but say, "Mom, you’ve prepared too much. The few of us can’t possibly eat it all."
"It’s okay, the weather is cold now, so it can be kept for a few more days."
After an enjoyable meal, Mo Xiaohong hesitated a bit and then looked at Ding Yuejun and said, "Mom, there’s something I want to discuss with you."
Seeing Mo Xiaohong’s expression, Ding Yuejun curiously asked, "What is it?"
"I... I want to transfer Shanshan’s household registration to the Zeng family." After saying this, Mo Xiaohong looked towards Ding Yuejun nervously, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Upon hearing this, Ding Yuejun nodded understandingly and said, "Indeed, it should be transferred. I had forgotten about this before."
"Mom, you don’t mind?"
Seeing Ding Yuejun’s supportive attitude, Mo Xiaohong was momentarily surprised.
"Silly child, you’ve married Jiahe now. Of course, you should transfer your household there. Naturally, Shanshan should move with you."
Seeing Ding Yuejun’s understanding, Mo Xiaohong gratefully said, "Thank you, Mom."
"Between us, mother and daughter, there’s no need for thanks."
After clarifying things with Ding Yuejun, Mo Xiaohong felt relieved. After staying for two more days, they went directly to the police station to transfer the household registration. Now, Mo Xiaohong and Mo Shan were part of the Zeng family, and following Ding Yuejun’s suggestion, Mo Shan changed her name to Zeng Shan.
Zeng Jiahe was very grateful to his mother-in-law for this and took his wife and daughter to visit each weekend, so his mother-in-law and sister-in-law wouldn’t feel lonely.
"Jiahe is really considerate. He brings Xiaohong and Shanshan back every week. He’s really thoughtful."
On this matter, Yiyi also thought highly of Zeng Jiahe, nodding and saying, "Brother-in-law is indeed good at this, and he treats Shanshan well. For Sister to find him again, it really was fate between them."
"Yes."
Ding Yuejun nodded with a smile and then mentioned the previous orders.
"Yiyi, I’ve already finished those two cheongsams. Should I mail them out tomorrow?"
Hearing this, Yiyi, full of curiosity, said, "Mom, you finished so quickly. Can I take a look first?"
"Of course."
With a smile, Ding Yuejun went to fetch the two cheongsams.
When Yiyi saw the cheongsams in Ding Yuejun’s hands, she was stunned for a moment, then slowly approached them, couldn’t help but touch them, and said in awe, "Mom, they are really beautiful." Even though she knew many words to describe beauty, in this moment, only "beautiful" came to mind, leaving her momentarily speechless.
Seeing her daughter’s amazed expression, Ding Yuejun couldn’t help but feel pleased.
"Yiyi, do you also think these two cheongsams are beautiful? I think they’re not bad. When making these two cheongsams, I remembered the needlework my mother talked about. I had only half-understood it before, but when I personally worked on what she was best at, I suddenly had an epiphany and understood the Chu’s needlework much more deeply."
"Chu’s needlework?"
Upon hearing this, Yiyi was a bit puzzled.
Ding Yuejun nodded heavily and said, "Yes, precisely Chu’s needlework. I finally remembered what your grandma told me. She said it was her family’s traditional needlework and only those who mastered it were the true heirs of the Chu family, but beyond this, I knew nothing. I don’t even know where the Chu family is. Ever since I can remember, your grandma has always been alone and never mentioned anything about herself."
In Ding Yuejun’s mind, Old Mrs. Chu was her biological mother, who raised her and taught her embroidery, providing her with motherly love. Naturally, Old Mrs. Chu was Yiyi’s grandma.
"It seems grandma’s embroidery skills were even more exquisite."
Yiyi had no impressions of Old Mrs. Chu. After all, Ding Yuejun got married shortly after, and the old lady passed away. But in her mind, that was still her grandma.
When Ding Yuejun heard Yiyi say this, she nodded and said, "Yes, your grandma’s embroidery skills were really superb. The flowers she embroidered could even attract butterflies, to such a degree it was indistinguishable from the real thing. Unfortunately, I didn’t fully acquire your grandma’s techniques, only learned sixty to seventy percent."
"Mom, you’re already very skillful."
However, looking at the two cheongsams in front of her, Yiyi was a bit worried.
"Mom, with such exquisite cheongsams, I’m concerned that they might get damaged during mailing."
This was also Ding Yuejun’s concern, "Then what should we do?"
"Mom, how about we deliver them ourselves? We can also take a trip to Shangjing, explore and learn more." Yiyi, who had also never been to Shangjing, suddenly thought this was a great idea. She could take her mom on a little trip.
"This... Should we deliver them to Shangjing ourselves?"
