Chapter 51 Mother's Love
"Liu Xuan, are you sure this bouquet is big enough? My mom is very picky, especially on a big day like Mother's Day. I don't want her nagging me." Li Yuan stood at the entrance of the flower shop and called out to Liu Xuan, who was haggling with the shop assistant.
Liu Xuan wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead and said, "Honey, this bouquet is the biggest and most vibrant in the store. Your mother will be beaming with joy when she sees it, and she might even praise me as a son-in-law who is more considerate than her own son."
"Come on, you're just being cheeky. And also, did you check that box of health supplements? Make sure you bought the wrong production date and efficacy information, or my mom will nag you until next Mother's Day," Li Yuan reminded her anxiously.
"My wife, don't you trust me to do things? I've checked everything carefully. These health supplements will make Mom look ten years younger and full of energy. She'll be able to dance the square dance with more vigor than those young people." Liu Xuan said proudly, holding the huge box of health supplements.
The two bickered all the way to Li Yuan's parents' home.
"Mom, we're back! Happy Mother's Day!" Li Yuan shouted as soon as she entered the door.
Li Yuan's mother came out of the kitchen and smiled broadly when she saw her daughter and son-in-law and the gifts in their hands: "Oh dear, you came all this way, why did you bring so much stuff? It's a waste of money. But these flowers are really beautiful, my daughter and son-in-law are so thoughtful."
“Mom, Liu Xuan specially picked this out. He said he had to choose the one that best suits you.” Li Yuan smiled and pushed Liu Xuan forward.
"Mom, look at these health supplements. They're really good for your health. If you take a little every day, I guarantee you'll get younger and younger. When you go out, people will think you're Li Yuan's older sister," Liu Xuan said with a grin.
"You're so good at making me happy. Come in and sit down, I just made your favorite dishes." Li Yuan's mother pulled them into the house.
At the dinner table, the family enjoyed a harmonious and happy time together.
"Mom, how have you been lately? Have you gone anywhere for fun?" Li Yuan asked with concern.
"I'm in good health. A few days ago, I went for a walk in the park with some of my old friends and took a lot of photos. I'll show them to you later. My photography skills are getting better and better," Li Yuan's mother said proudly.
"That must be because you're naturally beautiful, Mom. You look good no matter how you're photographed," Liu Xuan quickly flattered.
After finishing their meal, Li Yuan and Liu Xuan chatted with their mother for a while before getting up to say goodbye and head to Liu Xuan's hometown, which was also Li Yuan's husband's family home.
"Liu Xuan, do you think Mom will like the scarf I bought? I think the color really suits her style. I hope it won't be like the clothes I bought her last time, which she thought were too flashy and hardly ever wore," Li Yuan said worriedly in the car.
"Don't worry, honey. I saw that scarf, it's really beautiful, Mom will definitely love it. And I also secretly prepared a massager for her, she always complains about shoulder pain, this massager will make her feel so comfortable," Liu Xuan said confidently.
When they arrived at Liu Xuan's in-laws' house, his mother was already waiting at the door.
"Mom, Happy Mother's Day! This is our gift to you," Liu Xuan said, stepping forward to hug his mother.
"Oh, you two children are always so polite," Liu Xuan's mother said with a smile as she accepted the gift.
“Mom, look at this scarf! I picked it out especially for you. You’ll look so beautiful wearing it,” Li Yuan said, stepping forward.
Liu Xuan's mother opened the silk scarf and her eyes lit up: "This silk scarf is so beautiful. I really like the color. My daughter-in-law has such good taste."
"Mom, there's also this massager. You can use it when your shoulders hurt; it will relieve a lot of pain," Liu Xuan said, showing off the massager.
"You two are so thoughtful. Come in, I've made some snacks for you." Liu Xuan's mother happily welcomed them into the house.
After sitting at her in-laws' house for a while, Li Yuan and Liu Xuan got up and went home because they were still thinking about their two little babies at home.
"I wonder what those two little devils, Shi Qing and Yi Xin, are up to. I wonder if they'll make a mess of the house," Li Yuan said with a smile.
"They're definitely preparing a surprise for you. These two little devils are so clever," Liu Xuan replied with a smile.
When they got home, as soon as they opened the door, Li Shiqing and Liu Yixin pounced on them like two little monkeys.
“Happy Mother’s Day, Mom! This is a handmade gift we made for you!” Li Shiqing said, holding up a colorful handmade card.
"Mom, here's mine too! I drew a picture!" Liu Yixin proudly showed off her artwork.
Li Yuan accepted the gift, her eyes slightly moist: "My darlings, this is the best gift Mommy has ever received. Mommy is so happy."
At this moment, Liu Xuan also stepped forward, took out a small box and handed it to Li Yuan: "Wife, this is my Mother's Day gift for you. Although it is not very expensive, it is a token of my affection."
Li Yuan opened the box and saw a delicate necklace inside, with a small pendant on it bearing a family photo.
"Liu Xuan, when did you prepare this? This is such a wonderful surprise," Li Yuan said, moved.
“I secretly had this custom-made by a designer, just to surprise you for Mother’s Day. You’ve sacrificed so much for this family, this Mother’s Day, you’re the star,” Liu Xuan said gently.
“Mom, Dad said you’re our family’s superhero, so we want to give you the best gift,” Li Shiqing said, hugging Li Yuan’s leg.
“Yes, Mom, we love you,” Liu Yixin added.
Li Yuan knelt down and hugged her two daughters tightly: "Mom loves you too, you are Mom's greatest happiness."
Watching this heartwarming scene, Liu Xuan couldn't help but smile: "Today is truly a wonderful Mother's Day. Being together as a family is the best gift."
On this Mother's Day, love is passed around among family members. Whether it's a gift for mothers or a handmade surprise from children, it's all filled with love and warmth, making this ordinary day exceptionally precious and unforgettable.
