Chapter 26 Giving Gifts
Chapter 26 Giving Gifts
Although Yang Mingyue said that, Lin Liuyi still felt very guilty, but she couldn't think of any way to change the situation for the time being.
Sensing Lin Liuyi's self-blame, Yang Mingyue continued to comfort her, "Liuyi, don't worry about me. Although I haven't met Ma Bo before, I've heard from the villagers that he went to high school and works as a temporary worker at the grain station in town. His family is doing well. On the contrary, as an educated youth sent to the countryside, my family can't help me anymore. Besides, after I get married, maybe I won't be so tired."
Lin Liuyi didn't feel happy listening to Yang Mingyue's words of comfort. She knew that Yang Mingyue was planning to wait for the college entrance examination to be reinstated and take the exam. Now, she was suddenly getting married.
But like I said, she can't help!
No, even if she can't help with this, there's one thing she definitely can!
Thinking of this, she didn't say anything, but immediately started shouting wildly: Get rich, get rich, get rich!
"What's wrong, host? I'm sleeping!" The distribution system now has a steady daily energy inflow, so it's not as anxious as before and has started to slack off.
"Yang Mei'er is getting married, and I want to send her a gift. Can you make way for her?" After thinking it over, Lin Liuyi realized that this was the only thing she could help with.
If Yang Meier gets married, her family is unlikely to help her, and it's probably hopeless that she'll receive a dowry.
One can imagine what the villagers will say about her, and her in-laws might also have their own opinions.
It's okay, even if Yang Meier's family in Beijing isn't supportive, they can handle it!
Aside from her sisters, who are her family, she can support her, so she is determined to send them gifts!
That depends on the leader's abilities!
Upon hearing Lin Liuyi's request, the system nearly jumped out of its skin! This was tantamount to taking its life!
"No, host! Opening a spacetime portal to send things consumes a lot of energy, so don't even think about it!"
"You can make a fortune! It's just sending some things, it doesn't require much energy. At worst, I won't take any of the rewards they give me this month, I'll convert them all into energy for you!" Lin Liuyi was unwilling to give up and threw out the bait.
"This..." The system hesitated for a moment; a month's worth of energy seemed like a good amount.
"Please, get rich! Our best friend is getting married, how can we not send a congratulatory gift!" Lin Liu started to beg and plead, determined to get the system to agree.
"Alright then, just this once!"
Lin Liuyi was overjoyed to receive the system's confirmation!
"Yang Meimei, I'm sorry I can't help with this, but I just asked the system for a surprise: we can send you things now! Don't worry, Yang Meimei, I'll make sure you become the most dazzling girl in the village!"
Everyone else in the group was shocked when they saw this message. "You can teleport things to different worlds now?"
"June 1st, hurry, send me some delicious food from Earth!" That was the first thing Princess Mingyue thought of!
Lin Liuyi's lips twitched. Well, it turns out Princess Mingyue is a hidden foodie.
"Wait a minute, everyone. I didn't make that clear. It means I can only send something to Yang Mei'er's world once from my side. It doesn't work for other worlds!"
"Oh no, how could this happen!" Everyone was somewhat disappointed.
However, upon further reflection, although they could only teleport to one world now, perhaps they could in the future. With this thought in mind, everyone began to cheer up and discuss what to send to Yang Meier.
"I just received a batch of silk from the palace. Why don't we use it to make a wedding dress for Sister Yang?" Liu Mingyue considered it for a moment. According to what Lin Liuyi said about the situation there, many things in their area were considered feudal dross and were not suitable for Sister Yang. But the fabric should be fine, right?
"How can a wedding be without rings! Yang Mei'er, I'll give you a pair of rings!" Wu Mingyue finally had time to check the news, only to learn that Yang Mingyue was getting married.
She was also surprised. After reviewing the whole story, she felt a little regretful, but there was nothing she could do to help.
It just so happens that everyone was talking about giving gifts, and luckily she just passed by a jewelry store and picked up a bunch of jewelry. We'll find a nice pair of rings to give her as a congratulatory gift.
It's not that she didn't want to send other things, it's just that they're quite short of food and clothes here.
Princess Mingyue and Old Lady Liu were a little worried. Princess Mingyue was worried because Lin Liuyi said that they couldn't send things that crossed eras, but their side was full of them!
If Yang Mingyue were here, she could choose any flying car or spaceship she wanted. But now this is a real problem for her. They can't just send her some nutrient solution, can they? Such cheap stuff is not something Princess Mingyue can afford!
Old Mrs. Liu was worried. Her family was just an ordinary farming family, and they were poor! The fabric she could give was not as good as what Liu Mingyue had given them. As for food, her family's food was also just average. As for gold and silver, Liu Yi seemed to disapprove of them giving them any. Copper coins were out of the question!
So Old Mrs. Lin was also worried!
"Mother, what's wrong?" Liu's youngest son asked, his brow furrowed as he saw his mother return from town.
Could there be some change in the family business? He looked and saw that they had sold out of tofu for today!
"Youngest, what should I give as a wedding gift to one of my sisters who is getting married? The groom doesn't want any money!"
"Mother, your sister is getting married?" Liu Yuanxi gasped upon hearing this.
"What are you thinking! Do you think my sister has to be as old as me? She's still a young girl!" Old Mrs. Liu was exasperated by her son's thought process.
"Little girl, hello little girl!" It's no wonder Liu Yuanxi had the wrong idea; his mother's words were just too shocking. She didn't even consider how old his mother was, let alone her sisters.
"In our village, a few dozen coins are enough for a wedding, along with some scraps of cloth or eggs!"
Liu Yuanxi was puzzled. "Just send it according to the village custom. Why is his mother so worried?"
"I already told them they don't want the money, but eggs are hard to transport!" Old Mrs. Liu remembered what Lin Liuyi had said, that she had to send them to another world, and that the eggs might be easily damaged.
"No money? Not even eggs! Then Mother, if you're so willing, you might as well cut some meat!" Liu Yuanxi teased her mother.
"Meat! That's right, that's right!" Old Mrs. Liu was reminded that Yang Mingyue's life was hard and it wasn't easy for her to eat meat. She had forgotten about this.
Since we don't have as much wild game as we do here, let's send some wild game instead!
Thinking of this, Old Lady Liu grabbed the money and ran outside. She remembered that Liu Dashan's family should have some dried wild boar legs, so she had to go and check!
Completely ignoring her youngest son crying for his mother behind her!
After settling things off with Grandma Liu, Princess Mingyue had also decided what to give as a gift. After asking Lin Liuyi, she decided to give Yang Meier some milk powder.
Don't underestimate this bag of milk powder. It was specially formulated by Princess Mingyue and is rich in various vitamins and trace elements to supplement the nutrients needed by the human body. It can even promote secondary development and ensure that Yang Meier will grow up to be fair and chubby.
Lin Liuyi's situation was much simpler. She searched online for shops selling vintage items from the 1960s and 70s, including bicycles, sewing machines, radios, and watches, and added them all to her shopping cart.
This made the secretly monitoring system anxious. "Host, what's wrong with your bicycle? And that sewing machine? Quickly remove them from the shopping cart! You can't send any large items. Do you know how much energy I'm wasting?"
The system wanted nothing more than to empty Lin Liuyi's shopping cart. "And that thermos, are you really going to send something like that from another world?"
Lin Liuyi complained that the system didn't know its value, saying that having a thermos in Yang Mei'er's time was something to be envied.
Finally, under the system's supervision, Lin Liuyi deleted and removed items from her shopping cart. Bicycles and sewing machines were no longer an option, and after some hesitation, she deleted the radio. Mainly, she didn't know if the brand existed there. Even though the two worlds had similar development histories, she decided to avoid things that were difficult to explain, so as not to cause trouble for Yang Meier.
The watch was fine; it was lightweight, practical, and didn't take up much space. The thermos had been forcibly taken away, and Lin Liuyi had no choice but to stuff a few towels inside. Oh, and a few wads of yarn too, along with other miscellaneous items. The most satisfying item was a red woolen coat.
How can you not wear red clothes on your wedding day!
Then send the items prepared by others here via tips, and finally pack them all together.
Looking at the enormous package, the system regretted its decision; why had it been so greedy as to agree?
Seeing that Lin Liuyi was still trying to stuff things into it, the system quickly sent the package away.
Hmph, so stingy!
