Chapter 144: Call Her ‘Aunt’!
Jiang Yingqiu did not know what to say . “Anyway, the divorce isn’t a big deal as long as Yao Yao isn’t hurt . As for your Uncle Gu… I’ve never noticed much affection between him and Zhang Xiaohui anyway . Meeting someone like Zhang Xiaohui… was his misfortune!”
Mo Beihan did not want to say too much about this matter . He unpacked the parcel, starting with the muffler . “Mother, Yao Yao made this for you . It’s to wrap around your neck . And these two quilted jackets are for the two of you . ”
Mo Beihan handed the two quilted jackets to the children .
Children always longed for new clothes . The moment they heard there were new quilted jackets, they immediately reached for the jackets in excitement .
Jiang Yingqiu took the muffler and wrapped it around her neck . It was in a novel wrap design, stuffed with cotton wool and lined with new cotton . She had altered some old clothing to make the outside so that it was not so conspicuous .
Then she looked at the two children’s clothes and felt them . They were stuffed with new cotton wool and were just as soft, but the outer layer was made from old clothes which had been altered .
The stitches were very fine, and the clothes fitted the children well .
The quilted jackets were worn as an inner layer, and they wore their coats over it . By wearing the jackets inside, they were even less conspicuous .
Jiang Yingqiu laughed . “This child is really discreet . By making them in this way, no one can tell they’re new unless they touch the clothes . This is better . We won’t arouse the envy of others . ”
In these times, everyone was very poor . Most people had very little, and only a very few had new winter clothes . A quilted jacket was an item that was greatly envied .
If any child wore a new quilted jacket, the children in the entire brigade would be jealous .
Their family had always kept a low profile . In these times, discretion was crucial .
The two children’s eyes shone as they hugged their new clothes . “Elder Sister Gu is so nice!”
Mo Beihan looked stern . “You should refer to her as ‘Aunt’!”
Mo Chengrui: “…”

Mo Chengxu: “…”
Mo Chengrui was older and much more mature . Mo Chengxu was still young, and did not understand . “But Elder Sister Gu is so young! Elder Brother Goudan also calls her ‘Elder Sister’!”
Mo Beihan: “…”
These were his nephews . How could they refer to his future wife as their elder sister?
They must get the family hierarchy right .
“That won’t do . Elder Brother Goudan is not part of our family, so it’s different for him . He can call her whatever he likes . Also, Elder Brother Goudan is older than you, so he should call her ‘Elder Sister’ . But it’s different for you . In the future, you have to call her ‘Aunt’!”
Mo Chengxu bowed his little head and thought of Elder Sister Gu . He had to call such a pretty elder sister… Aunt?

He just could not bring himself to do it!
“‘Aunt’ sounds too old!”
Mo Beihan was irritated . “Don’t you think I’m too young to be called ‘Uncle’? Am I really that old?”
Mo Chengxu: “…”
His little head was in a muddle . His uncle’s words were just too abstract!
Jiang Yingqiu laughed and patted Mo Chengxu’s little head . “Listen to your uncle . In the future, just call her ‘Auntie’ . ”
“Okay!”

He would just obey, even if he did not understand .
Gu Qingyao tidied the house, then went to her room to sleep . As the night grew still, she entered her living interspace .
She had planted many trees and medicinal herbs here .
This time, she was here to pick some fruits .
She had peaches, oranges, apples, grapes and strawberries . Gu Qingyao smiled broadly as she looked at the glistening fruits!
She carried a small basket and picked a few at a time!
