Chapter 532 - Canned Food, Ah Canned Food!

Gu Qingyao was deeply displeased with the offering in the department store.

She pouted and said to Mo Beihan crossly, “There’s nothing nice in this era. If… we were in another time, I could give the girl so many nice things! But now? There’s nothing available.”

Mo Beihan laughed. “These are already pretty good. You’re too choosy, so you can’t spot anything you like. Your sister-in-law is different. She hasn’t encountered your… things.”

Gu Qingyao had seen the luxuries of later times. Of course, she did not like any of these things. But Eldest Brother and his wife were different. They had not encountered the luxuries of later years. So to them, the current selection was already very good.

Gu Qingyao had many nice things in her interspace. But she still wanted to select some things unique to this era.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

She chose a few pieces of cloth, including fine cotton and denim. Besides colors suitable for making clothes for a girl, she deliberately chose a few pieces suitable for making clothes for older folks.

Jewelry was not permitted in this era. They could only wear watches. Gu Qingyao thought about it and bought a hundred dollar watch to send over. When Eldest Brother formally married the girl, she would buy him an imported watch.

The conditions over there were harsh and a watch costing about a hundred dollars was not too flashy. It would not attract too much attention for everyday wear.

She bought a big bag of things, and Mo Beihan laughed as they went back. “Are you mailing another enormous parcel?”

Gu Qingyao raised her brows and said, “Of course. She’s my sister-in-law! She and my Eldest Brother are so loving. Hehehe, my eldest brother must be over the moon. Sigh… although he experienced a lot of hardship during his trip to the northeast, he managed to meet my sister-in-law. Seems like a good deal.”

Mo Beihan glanced at her. When they reached home, he said, “I’ve mentioned it to my grandfather. Grandfather has been trying to find a way to get Eldest Uncle’s family home. I think it won’t be long now.”

Gu Qingyao’s eyes brightened. “Really?”

She was well aware of how capable Old Master Mo was.

Mo Beihan smiled, “Of course. I know you’ve always worried about them. I have to find a way to get them back, so my darling doesn’t need to worry!”

Gu Qingyao: “…”

What a shameless fellow!

She glared at him and turned to pack the parcel.

In these times, no matter what other exquisite things she sent, food was always the most welcome.

So Gu Qingyao’s parcel included many different kinds of food.

She had sent quite a lot from her hometown last time, but she continued to give extravagantly this time.

Ten kilograms of rice, ten kilograms of flour, five kilograms of rye flour, five kilograms of cornflour, five kilograms of sorghum noodles, and five kilograms of sweet potato flour.

A piece of bacon, a piece of salted meat, a few dried fish, and her own homemade five-spice beef. She had specially dried some beef to make this. Gu Qingyao was a little worried.

“I really want to send this to Eldest Brother to try, and it will certainly look good if he gives some to sister-in-law! But I think it will spoil by the time it reaches!”

Mo Beihan glanced at her and said with a smile, “Pack as much as you like and put the things that may break or spoil easily into a separate parcel. I have a friend who is about to make a trip to the northeast. He’s flying there. I’ll ask him to bring your things.”

Gu Qingyao was surprised, then instantly delighted. “Really? That’s great! I’ll prepare more things to thank him. Oh, I think I’ll send some eggs to Eldest Brother. Will that… be convenient? Can he bring so many things? And, and… canned food! Ah, canned food!”
