After leaving the local restaurant, Yuan Xudong drove and looked at Jiang Nansun in the passenger seat and said with concern:
"How was the conversation?"
Jiang Nansun shook his head slightly and didn't say much. He just stared at the lights and feasting outside the car window in a daze. Seeing that she was in no mood to talk, Yuan Xudong also calmed down and concentrated on driving to the Park Hyatt Hotel to attend Grandma Jiang's birthday party.
Passing by a national chain gold store, Yuan Xudong pulled over and parked. Jiang Nansun woke up from his meditation, looked at Yuan Xudong and said in confusion:
"You're going to be late, what are you going to do?"
Yuan Xudong got off the car and responded to Jiang Nansun:
"It's grandma's birthday. I'll buy her some birthday gifts. Do you want to come with me?"
Hearing that Yuan Xudong was going to buy a birthday gift for his grandma, Jiang Nansun looked slightly stunned. Then he got out of the car with Yuan Xudong, looked at the splendid gold store sign and said:
"I'll also buy some gifts for grandma. She likes gold the most. She used to have a lot of gold and silver jewelry, but unfortunately they were all sold by my dad while trading in the stock market."
The two walked into the store and took a quick look. Yuan Xudong went directly to a shopping guide and asked:
"Hello, do you have golden longevity peaches in your store?"
"Yes, sir, please come with me!"
Looking at the extraordinary temperament of Yuan Xudong and Jiang Nansun, the shopping guide led them to the counter where the golden longevity peaches were placed, while politely asking:
"Sir, what kind of golden longevity peach do you need?"
"I'll take a look first and then talk!"
"Okay, sir!"
After a while, under the guidance of the shopping guide, Yuan Xudong and Jiang Nansun walked to the counter where the golden birthday peaches were placed. Looking at the various golden birthday peaches shining brightly under the light, he pointed to the largest and most conspicuous birthday peach and asked:
"how much is this?"
"Sir, this is the largest birthday peach ornament in our store. There is currently a promotion, and it only costs 8,888 yuan. It is the most suitable birthday gift for grandparents."
"so cheap?"
Yuan Xudong, who was buying Golden Shoudao for the first time, looked surprised. Without waiting for the salesperson in the gold store to explain a few words, he asked directly:
"We are in a hurry. Please help us choose a golden birthday peach for the elderly. The budget is around 200,000 yuan. It needs to look high-end and grand. Is there any problem?"
"No problem, please wait a moment!"
Seeing the shopping guide leaving, Jiang Nansun pulled Yuan Xudong and whispered:
"Why did you buy such an expensive gift? I only have a total of more than 200,000 yuan, so I just bought the birthday peach. It's cheap and beautiful!"
Looking at Jiang Nansun who started to worry about money, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"It's cheap but not good. It's useless. Just make grandma happy. Two hundred thousand is nothing. You don't need to buy a gift. Just treat this gift as one bought by the two of us. Pay it back to me in installments later."
Is it interesting to charge you 1% interest every month?"
Giving Yuan Xudong a blank look, Jiang Nansun refused directly:
"Thank you for your kindness. I will just give grandma the birthday peach just now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the shopping guide who left came back holding a golden birthday peach ornament, looked at Yuan Xudong and Jiang Nansun and introduced:
"Sir, Miss, this is the Fortune and Fortune Peach in our store. It only costs 188,888 yuan. What do you two think?"
Yuan Xudong nodded slightly, handed the shopping guide a bank card and said:
"Wrap it up, and pay the bill together with the birthday peach just now!"
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment!"
After walking out of the gold shop, Yuan Xudong and Jiang Nansun entered the car carrying their own gifts and drove back to the Park Hyatt Hotel. Looking at Yuan Xudong driving, Jiang Nansun said directly:
"I transferred the money for the gift to you via WeChat, please keep it!"
Yuan Xudong nodded slightly and said perfunctorily:
"I understand. It's inconvenient to drive now. I'll collect it when I go back at night!"
After giving Yuan Xudong a blank look and knowing that he didn't care about this little money, Jiang Nansun insisted:
"You drive, I'll collect it for you. Where is the phone?"
Seeing Jiang Nansun's persistence, Yuan Xudong said seriously:
"The phone is in my left pocket. Take it for yourself. I want to concentrate on driving!"
Without doubting his presence, Jiang Nansun bent down and touched Yuan Xudong's left pocket. She felt nothing, so she said doubtfully:
"I don't have a mobile phone. Did you remember it wrong?"
"A little further down, inside my pants pocket!"
Jiang Nansun continued to bend down, but still didn't touch anything. He looked up at Yuan Xudong and saw a smirk on his lips. Thinking that he was lying on his lap, Jiang Nansun's face turned red and he couldn't help but spit out:
"Yuan Xudong, can you be more serious? If you take advantage of me like this again, I will tell Suo Suo to deal with you!"
Yuan Xudong calmed down his expression slightly and said in a serious voice:
"I see that you are in a bad mood, so I am just joking with you. I definitely don't have any bad intentions."
After that, while driving, he took out his mobile phone from his right trouser pocket. When he was about to open WeChat, the phone rang. He directly pressed the answer button. The call was connected, and the caller ID showed his sister. Yuan Xudong was obviously stunned for a moment.
, Jiang Nansun quickly reminded:
"Don't be distracted and drive carefully!"
Hearing Jiang Nansun's voice, a clear female voice sounded on the phone:
"Yuan Xudong, who was talking just now? You have a girlfriend, what about my sister?"
Yuan Xudong's scalp was numb. Under Jiang Nansun's gaze, he considered:
"I'm driving. I'll call you when I get back. Hang up first!"
"Don't hang up. The teacher wants to collect the phone. You can just put the phone next to it and let that woman hold it. I'll tell you a few things."
Yuan Xudong put his mobile phone on the mobile phone holder and said in a calm voice while driving:
"Okay, go ahead and tell me, I'm listening!"
"Yuan Xudong, you have changed. You don't love me anymore. There is no trace of yearning in your voice. I'm so sad!"
Seeing Jiang Nansun staring at him, Yuan Xudong smiled dryly and said:
"Hurry up and say something. I'm still busy. I have to attend the birthday party of my girlfriend's best friend's grandmother!"
"You still have the nerve to attend someone else's birthday party. Where is my living expenses? If my best friend hadn't helped me, your lovely sister would have starved to death by you, and you still want me to call you to ask for living expenses, right?
When you have a girlfriend, you forget about my sister?"
"Okay, my fault, I forgot about it for a moment, can I forward it to you on WeChat?"
"Brother, have you changed your mobile phone?"
"Yes, the original senior phone was not very convenient, so I replaced it with a new one. What's wrong?"
"It's okay, just think about it. Mom and I are very worried about you. Although dad is gone, you still have mom and me. We are all your relatives.
By the way, mom has also found a blind date for you who also works in Shanghai. I estimate that when she makes an appointment with someone else, she will call you and let you have time to go home and arrange for the two of you.
Let’s meet.”
While feeling Jiang Nansun's death gaze, Yuan Xudong refused:
"I have a girlfriend, why would I go on a blind date?"
"You can talk to your mother yourself. I am only responsible for telling you to call me for living expenses quickly. The teacher is coming to collect your mobile phone!"
"I know, I know!"
Yuan Xudong directly added the sister in the address book as a friend, and soon passed the friend verification, which was the avatar of a rogue rabbit in Pet Crisis.
My sister sent me a begging emoticon, and Yuan Xudong found a rich emoticon asking how much it cost and sent it to him. My sister directly replied with the number 2000. Yuan Xudong thought it was about the same, so he transferred 2,000 yuan directly. My sister received it at the speed of light and was happy on the phone.
road:
"Brother, have you become rich? I used to ask you for 1,000 dura, but you only gave me 800. Are you so generous now?"
"It doesn't matter. I have made a lot of money recently. Who said you are my sister? If I have time, I will come to Magic City with my mother. I am planning to buy a house in Magic City. It would be nice for our family to live in Magic City."
"Brother, are you willing to call me mom?"
"What's the meaning?"
"You used to call me mom and aunt, have you forgotten?"
This family relationship is too complicated. It seems that the father is no longer here, the mother seems to be the stepmother, and the younger sister is also a little worried. Thinking of this, Yuan Xudong bit the bullet and said:
"We are all a family. It's right to call you mom. I've given you the living expenses, so don't spend them arbitrarily. I'm hanging up. I'll call you when I have time!"
"No, let me chat with the sister next to you, and I'll take a look at her."
"Bye-Bye!"
After hanging up the phone and seeing Jiang Nansun staring at him, Yuan Xudong directly showed his cards and said:
"Okay, paper can't cover the fire. I confess and ask for leniency. My family is from a rural area. I have a mother and younger sister. My family is poor. I..."
Before Yuan Xudong could finish speaking, Jiang Nansun interrupted him directly:
"What's your sister's name?"
This question was difficult for Yuan Xudong. He shrugged his shoulders and joked:
"After I was hit by you, my memory was confused. I only remembered that I had a sister, but I forgot her name. I felt like I was hallucinating in my brain, as if I had known you in my previous life. You have to be responsible for me!"
"Go away, I don't believe a word you say!"
Park Hyatt Hotel, in a private room.
Yuan Xudong and Jiang Nansun walked into the box and looked at Grandma Jiang who was sitting in the upper seat. He handed the birthday peach ornament he bought to Grandma Jiang and said:
"Grandma, I wish you happiness like the East Sea and longevity as long as the Southern Mountains. This is my birthday gift to you. I hope you like it!"
"luv't!"
Grandma Jiang accepted Yuan Xudong's gift and said with a happy smile:
"Xiao Yuan, you are considerate, grandma thanks you!"
"Grandma, you don't have to thank me. Who told you to have such an outstanding granddaughter as Nan Sun?"
After saying that, without waiting for Grandma Jiang to respond, he stepped aside, exposing Jiang Nansun and said:
"Grandma, Nansun also bought you a gift, a very beautiful birthday peach. I helped her choose it. I hope you will be happy!"
Hearing what Yuan Xudong said, Grandma Jiang looked at the rather embarrassed Jiang Nansun, who coquettishly handed the Dashou peach in her hand to Grandma Jiang and said:
"Grandma, I don't have much money. This birthday peach is much cheaper than Yuan Xudong's. I hope you like it!"
"I like it, I like it all the same!"
Grandma Jiang took the birthday peach given to her by Jiang Nansun and said happily:
"It doesn't matter what the gift is, what's important is the intention behind giving it. I'm already so old, and I don't know when I will leave Hexi. The only thing I can't let go of is the children and grandchildren of the Jiang family. I don't care about anything else.
, Nansun, it would be great if you were a boy!"
Seeing his mother bringing up old things again, Jiang Pengfei quickly laughed and said:
"Mom, today is a good day, let's not talk about those things, okay?"
"Okay, don't mention it anymore, don't mention it anymore!"
Grandma Jiang patted her mouth, then greeted with a smile on her face:
"Let's all sit down and eat. We must be happy when we get together as a family!"
Everyone sat down in response. Jiang Pengfei looked at Yuan Xudong and smiled:
"Xiao Yuan, why did you come here with Nan Sun?"
Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"Uncle, Nansun and I went to attend the opening ceremony of Songjiang Hotel together. Knowing that today is grandma's birthday, we rushed here with Nansun. I hope I won't disturb you!"
"No, of course not, I was planning to discuss something with you!"
After saying that, without waiting for Yuan Xudong to respond, Jiang Pengfei looked at his daughter Jiang Nansun and said:
"Nan Sun, it's my father who is sorry for you. I shouldn't hit you, but what I want to tell you is that no one in this world is perfect. I am not, your mother is not, and grandma is not either.
Our family is not all good, but it is not all bad either. You are now very generous, and you dare to love and hate. This is the self-confidence that your family has cultivated in you since childhood.
People outside may not necessarily wish you well, but your family must really wish you well. Sometimes, you may not understand your father's actions, but I really love you and hope you can live a good life in the future!
"
After saying that, he stood up, picked up the wine glass and said:
"To the three most important women in my life, I will love you forever!"
