In particular, they were all so golden and heavy that when grandma looked at the big peony ring handed over by Lu Chuan, she couldn't help but open her mouth: "You bought it for me too?"
The peonies are so big!
It’s more beautiful than the gold ring Wulan bought! After all, the gold ring was chosen not to be that fancy because it was inconvenient to wear while working.
"Yeah." Lu Chuan nodded.
After all, with his income, it is not difficult to buy gold now. And once people are financially wealthy, it is easy to do many things well.
For example, at this moment, my grandma, who didn’t plan to do any work during the Chinese New Year, immediately reached out and put it on her other hand!
Grandma had both, and grandma was naturally not left behind. Wang Lifen raised her hands and looked at the light. She couldn't even close her mouth from ear to ear at this moment. She even took out her mobile phone to take pictures, and couldn't help but mutter:
"Old man, what's the pronunciation of that friend circle? Please teach me, I can only pronounce vibrato..."
But Song Youde had no time to pay attention to her at the moment, because Lu Chuan bought him a small Jin Ruyi with a black string on it, which could just fit on the pipe pot!
Ouch! Ouch!
How ostentatious would it be to go out and smoke a cigarette?
The little old man who has lived a frugal life would not even dare to think about it!
However, he didn't have a chance to think about it, because it didn't matter if a woman wore gold jewelry. Many aunts and grandmothers in the village had them. But if a smelly old man's pipe pot was hung with gold, it would really show off his wealth.
Not safe.
So within ten minutes of being fresh, the only gold jewelry in my life was taken away.
There is no need to mention his grandfather who is similar to him.
The two old men looked at each other, both dejected at the moment.
Only Song Sancheng looked at the large men's ring on his hand, grinning from ear to ear, while still pretending to be polite:
"Xiao Lu, you are serious. Come as soon as you come. Why did you buy this thing..."
Qiaoqiao was touching his fat lucky bag pendant at the side, interrupted him at this moment, and said happily:
"I love it so much! Brother! I love this so much! I have never worn a necklace before!"
Song Tan was not happy: "Who said that the sweet potato vine necklace is not a necklace?"
Qiao Qiao said "Ah" and was a little dumbfounded. After a long time, he hummed and defended: "It's different..." He turned to look at Lu Chuan and tried to ask for help, but Lu Chuan cleared his throat and changed the subject: "
Qiaoqiao, let me take a photo for you."
As for Ulan, she had already taken photos and was debating whether to post them on WeChat Moments!
Of course you have to show off, but if you post it on Moments, wouldn't it be too showy?
Looking at the heavy hollow gold sachet box in Song Tan's hand, she could only give up sadly.
But it doesn't matter, she will wear a big necklace now, and let everyone know how good her son-in-law is during the Chinese New Year!
Her daughter Tantan is really capable! She has a good eye!
Song Tan was indeed very happy.
Because her sachet box is hollow, when you open it now, you can see that it contains seven gemstones of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple! It can not only be used to decorate golden jewelry, but can also be taken out separately for inlays
, which can be said to be very thoughtful!
"Is this a New Year's gift?"
Lu Chuan smiled as he watched her carefully pour out the gems, and nodded: "Hmm. Do you like it? Isn't it a bit tacky?"
Song Tan laughed loudly: "Please, I am the most common person in the world. How can I not love gold, silver and jewelry?"
Who wouldn’t like the colorful golden light?
Then he was stunned again: "Eh? What a big melon seed."
I saw among the pile of gems in the sachet box, for some reason, there was an extra large melon seed. Because the length was just right, it was stuck in the box, so it didn't come out at once.
Lu Chuan paused, then said with a smile: "Well, this is a Titan sunflower. I planted it in my terrace garden and picked out the seeds."
It is too big, the terrace is very windy, and there is no such a large planting box, and there is no place to firmly take root. Lu Chuan has already spent enough time and effort to plant this tree.
And finally when the sunflowers matured, he gave away all the seeds, leaving only the plump one.
Originally, I was thinking about going to a contracted farm in the suburbs to plant some other flowers. When I collected gems and put them in a sachet box, I somehow managed to put the seeds in too.
When he spoke at this moment, his eyes were full of expectation:
"It will grow very tall, very tall, and it should grow in a free place..."
He looked at Song Tan, but because of the people present, he didn't say the rest of the words.
But Song Tan nodded and understood: "I know, so, Bai Yueguang and Taitan, we can grow all the flowers you like."
Then he smiled at Lu Chuan: "Have you used my homemade nutrient solution? The flowers you like - not just sunflowers, but any other flowers will grow well here."
Lu Chuan thought of that precious and undisguised trust and nodded seriously at this moment.
The two young lovers gathered together and murmured. The old Song family members, who were receiving such a generous gift for the first time, also looked at each other and started discussing in a low voice.
Not long after, Wu Lan and Song Sancheng returned to the bedroom and rummaged through the cabinets——
"Hey! Where's the cash? How much cash did our family withdraw during the Chinese New Year?"
"Oh, it's true, Xiao Lu. Originally, our rule was that if a girl came to visit her for New Year greetings, she would give a red envelope of 6,000,000 yuan... If he did this, I wouldn't even have enough money..."
"Forget it, forget it, it's really not enough. There should be some more at my mother's place. I'll go get some..."
Several people put it together again and again, and finally came up with three red envelopes.
When Lu Chuan came to his senses, he saw that he was already holding the red envelope given by Wulan in his hand——
"Come on, come on, it's the rule to give red envelopes during New Year greetings - this is from your uncle and I, this is from grandma and grandma..."
"this……"
Lu Chuan refused with difficulty and looked at Song Tan as if asking for help, but saw Song Tan stretch out his hand and take the red envelope:
"Take it, there are indeed such rules - you can take it back and talk to auntie."
Looking at the way the temporarily found red envelope was bulging, Song Tan couldn't help but laugh.
Okay, once this red envelope is collected, the cash in the house will be basically empty. Maybe her mother won’t be able to pay for the card game this afternoon.
After a lot of excitement, considering that Lu Chuan came by car overnight, Wulan forced him to take a rest and showed him the four-piece suit he had just laid:
"Look, Tantan bought this for you. It's made of silk or cotton. It's soft! ... Hurry up and have a good rest. I'll call you when your relatives come at noon."
She was so enthusiastic that Lu Chuan had no room to refuse, and he didn't even have time to talk to Song Tan.
After thinking about it, he took out the red envelope, took a photo, and sent it to the readers who gave him countless bad ideas.
For him, this is actually a bit different from his previous style.
but--
How to describe this feeling?
He thought that she was probably like Song Tan's mother, who wanted to tell the world how outstanding her daughter's boyfriend (his girlfriend) was!
…
This time was chosen quite well, as many people are visiting relatives on the second day of the Lunar New Year. It is now past 7 o'clock, which may be the time when I have just woken up but haven't gotten up yet.
Lu Chuan just took a picture and blew up the group of divers again.
[Okay, okay! Our teacher Qiaoqiao’s sister is not only beautiful, but her family is also so kind to the dog author, right? You want to show off this, right? 】
[On the second day of the Lunar New Year, I went back to my parents’ home. What were you doing, author?]
[If this is to happen, it wouldn’t be a problem to separate the two places, right? 】
[Please! Who would have such troubles? You have to live at Qiaoqiao’s house, okay?!]
[Yes! Everyone is a fan, please ask the author for help. Is the family still looking for workers? I will work if I pay 4,000 for a month with food and accommodation included!]
[Same begging, same begging! I can do it for 3,500 a month including food and accommodation!]
[What the hell are you doing for the Chinese New Year?! Did you know I resigned?]
[Tsk, tsk, tsk! I am the only one who is a close friend of the dog author... If nothing else, can no one say a few words about the thickness of this red envelope? 】
The red envelope was indeed quite thick. Lu Chuan was not sleepy at all. He opened it and looked at it and found that the three red envelopes added up to eighteen thousand yuan.
This amount of money went from being brand new to having signs of use to being heavily marked with folding marks... It's not hard to imagine how much effort it took to come up with such a sum of money.
Lu Chuan couldn't help but feel happy again. At this moment, he opened his suitcase, stuffed the three red envelopes into the mezzanine, and put them away carefully.
However, looking at the readers' concerns, he remembered the design progress that Zhao Fangyuan had been following, and he couldn't help but smile with peace of mind.
After thinking for a while, I took out my tablet and began to seriously outline the green plants and flowers that would be planted around the B&B in the future.
There are also plans for the wide and empty flower beds inside and outside Song Tan’s yard and the open spaces on both sides——
Macarons are available in light colors, blue and purple colors, as well as fiery red colors, cool white colors, etc...
Large swaths of flowers seemed to appear before our eyes, and flowers that we had not been able to boldly try due to the location were now recorded one by one.
This feeling of acting arbitrarily and being completely trusted, and being able to rely on others... is so good.
He turned on his mobile phone and first found some cool flowers suitable for planting in winter. After thinking about it, he turned around and searched the flower and bird market in the city. He had already decided to try to fill the flower beds on both sides with excitement before leaving.
…
However, people's happiness is not the same.
At least at this moment, Song Dafang and Mao Li felt very anxious.
Not only them, but also the daughter-in-law Sun Yanyan was sullen and felt deeply embarrassed. Before her daughter fully woke up, she took her husband and hurried back to her parents' home.
The old couple were left at home, facing the girl outside the door.
At the door of the house in this old community, a girl with slightly dark skin and a sharp expression was holding a mobile phone in one hand while knocking on his door with a rhythmic "bang bang" sound.
"Come out! Come out, both of you!"
"Don't hide in there and say nothing, I know you are at home."
"If you don't pay the money you owe during the New Year, I'm afraid it will be a year of decline in the New Year."
"Uncle and aunt are so shameless! I can't bear to spend thousands of dollars."
"Isn't it? Isn't it? I'm knocking on the door and it's embarrassing to the whole community. Do you really still not pay me?"
"Don't let me enter the community group again..."
The more he talked, the more he looked like him. Song Dafang finally couldn't bear it anymore and ordered Mao Li: "Go and open the door."
Mao Li looked even more resentful.
"Every little girl today is crazy about money? When did I say I won't give you money? It's because she asked for an unreasonable price..."
Before he finished speaking, Song Dafang glared at her: "You too! Ziyi is so young, what kind of tutor did she find?! How can she be a good person in the community now?"
Mao Li's face turned even darker.
But she didn't dare to argue with Song Dafang. At this moment, she opened the door and said to the girl outside:
"I said Xiaoyun, girls nowadays really don't know how to be grateful! I just saw that you were serious about teaching us Ziyi, and I was thinking of introducing you to a good partner!"
"It's better for you to open your mouth like a lion, ask for money without asking for money, and ruin my reputation like this..."
The old community is not soundproofed, and the neighbors next door didn't go out to visit relatives early this morning, so they might be listening at the door right now.
Mao Li's voice became louder and louder as a result.
The girl named Xiaoyun is not someone to be trifled with. She is particularly sharp-tongued at the moment:
"Hey, who knew that you may look decent, but you are careless in how you do things?"
"I taught your granddaughter how to do homework, including Chinese, math, and English. She also had to do handicrafts and make illustrated posters, and she also had to go to the kindergarten interest class to pick up and drop off..."
"We have agreed on the price from the beginning, right? It's 80 per hour. You can ask all over the place to find out which tutor has this price now."
"It's been a month since I started teaching during the winter vacation, right? You can cut my nearly two-hour class down to one hour, and I have to do some babysitting work from time to time. What do you mean by not giving me a dime now?"
"If you can't afford 3,400 yuan, are you so poor?"
"Also, auntie! You said you would introduce someone to me, and I agreed. But you didn't say that the people you introduced were all relatives. If it turns out that we all have become relatives, can we not give you this money?
"
"Is there such a way in the world to refuse to pay?"
"Isn't it? Isn't it? You are so good at planning, why didn't you lend us money?"
There were a few subtle noises coming from the neighbor's house, and it didn't take much to figure out that the other person was definitely watching his own fun. Mao Lideng was furious:
"Did I say I wouldn't give it to you? Did I say I wouldn't give it to you? It's Xiaoyun who is not particular about what you do!"
"How can anyone come to your door during the Chinese New Year and ask for a bill?! This is not true in the whole world."
The girl named Xiaoyun put her mobile phone in her pocket. She stood at the door with her hands on her waist, her sharp eyebrows raised, and she looked even more powerful:
"Oh, you know it's hard to pay bills during the Chinese New Year? Then why didn't you pay me your salary before the New Year? From the twenty-seventh to the second day of the new year!"
"Auntie, you said earlier that you had no money, so don't force yourself to hire a tutor."
After she finished speaking, she stretched out her hand:
"3,400 yuan, plus the money wasted by those who couldn't go home for the Chinese New Year and didn't have money to buy tickets - a total of 4,000 yuan, auntie, just tell me whether you want to give it or not?"
"It's Chinese New Year, so you don't want me to call the police to celebrate, right?"
