At dusk, Sister-in-law Jiang and the second sister-in-law returned from work. The children also came home from school. Once the family was gathered, Yuanchun brought out the gifts she had prepared for them and handed them out one by one.
The two sisters-in-law each received a scarf, a bottle of face cream, and a bottle of hair conditioner. The two brothers each received a fountain pen and a bottle of ink. Each child received a three-piece set consisting of a scarf, a hat, and a pair of gloves. Father Jiang and Mother Jiang each received a thick cotton-padded jacket and a pair of cotton-lined leather shoes.
Finally, Yuanchun pulled out a handful of digital watches, some for adults and some for children. "These digital watches were brought over from Hong Kong by a relative of an educated youth I stayed with. The person is a big businessman coming to the mainland to invest in our domestic market. I bought these at the wholesale price through my friend's connection. This is all there are; there are no more."
