Chapter 253: Reminder

After everyone had lunch, they saw off the Chu family members. Because Lu Garden didn't have a steward, Manager Luo went last, handing the gift list and gifts to Chen Ming. The gifts included famous snacks from the Capital City, fabric, learning materials, and ornaments, a colorful heap of items.

In the late afternoon, Chen Ming and Mrs. Wang went to their backyard to pick ripe cucumbers. They only managed to fill a small basket. Adding two boxes of homemade pastries, these were the gifts they were to give to Mrs. Chu to take back to Capital City.

However, both of them felt embarrassed. The Chu family had given them so many gifts, yet all they could offer was this. They found it hard to find something worth giving that wouldn't embarrass their daughter. Mrs. Wang then went to find Chen Afu in Fu Garden to discuss what additional gifts they could give.
