Over the weekend, He Wenjie's time was completely divided between Zhu Zhe and Fang Zhiheng. On Saturday, He Wenjie accompanied Fang Zhiheng to buy New Year gifts. Initially, He Wenjie thought that since Fang Zhiheng wasn't going home with him for the New Year, she didn't need to buy any gifts.
Besides, with Zhu Zhe around, if he took out the gifts Fang Zhiheng bought right in front of Zhu Zhe, he figured he could kiss a peaceful New Year goodbye. However, Fang Zhiheng was extremely persistent, leaving He Wenjie with no choice but to let nature take its course. Anyway, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
After grilling He Wenjie for a long time about his parents' preferences, Fang Zhiheng ultimately prepared a handmade carved silver hairpin for Mother He, said to be crafted by an intangible cultural heritage artisan.

For Father He, she prepared a cake of Pu'er tea aged for over a decade.
