Starting in order, the gift from the second eldest's family was a rather large item. Xiao Shulan and her husband presented the elderly lady with a rosewood screen, full of ancient charm and splendor, perfectly reflecting the grandmother's dignified and elegant status.
Yet, the grandmother felt that there was clearly too much of such things in the house, and with the item being so big, she didn't even know where to place it properly.
In contrast, the gift selected by her granddaughter, Kang Yueting, was an oval stone, smooth and polished, with an ink painting and a few lines of poetry on it, both picturesque and pleasant to hold and play with in her hand.
Upon seeing the grandmother immediately pocket the stone that Kang Yueting had gifted, Xiao Shulan and the others were all taken aback.
Xiao Shulan could only remember that she had once criticized her own daughter for picking up a stone from the street, which was downright embarrassing.
