"You pick it! Mom and Dad said you have good taste, and the things you buy are both good and practical." Xu Xiuxiu made it a point to send parcels home every month despite her busy schedule, and Cheng Guang knew this. His parents were quite happy about it too. Occasionally, during phone calls, they would mention how their daughter-in-law was "wasting money" again on things sent home, hinting at a disapproval of her liberal spending, but he could still hear the happiness in their voices.
In their village, only a few households received parcels all month, but their family always had announcements on the radio prompting them to hurry to the county to pick up items. The sight of them bringing home bags of goods every month was enough to make the neighbors green with envy. Plus, Xu Xiuxiu always bought practical things, specifically catering to the preferences and needs of the family members at home, which naturally won them over much more than the random assortment of things he bought.
