Ling Xiao's collection room actually didn't collect anything. Most of them were gifts from some merchants, including tobacco, wine, tea, and some exquisite candies such as chocolate. Almost all of them were foodies. Zhang Xueer chose among those gifts.
She went back and forth, but couldn't find a suitable gift. The gift she wanted was beautiful clothes, or high-end cosmetics, but obviously they weren't available here.
Ling Xiao took advantage of Zhang Xueer's choice of gifts to take out the memory card of the mobile phone and put it into the gap of a wooden stand. It is very appropriate to put the memory card in such a place. No one would put it in a wooden stand.
He was looking for something in the cracks, and only he could enter this collection room, Liu Mei and the other four were not allowed in. Of course, He Yue'e, who still works part-time as the housekeeper of Xuanhu Manor, is an exception.
Hiding the memory card containing Mu Wanyin and Xia Xiang's indecent videos here, Ling Xiao felt as if he had cut off a troublesome past with scissors and said goodbye to it completely. In the future, if the Mu family
He will not use this video without causing trouble for him.
"Oh, most of your gifts here are food, and there is nothing I want. What can I give to Teacher Hu?" Zhang Xueer looked around and couldn't find anything, and pouted her mouth unhappily.
Ling Xiao walked over, took a big bag containing gifts, and filled the bag with cigarettes, wine, and tea, "These Chinese cigarettes, um, these two bottles of Moutai, and these boxes of tea... you can take them all."
With."
"Just give these to Teacher Hu? She doesn't smoke or drink liquor." Zhang Xueer muttered.
Ling Xiao smiled and said: "Who said these are for Teacher Hu? These are for your dad. If your dad smokes, drinks or drinks tea, take it back and treat it as my filial piety to him."
"You...respect him?" Zhang Xueer's face suddenly turned red.
"Of course it's to honor his old man. Do you want it?" Ling Xiao said, "If you don't want it, I'll put it back."
"Yes, yes, why not? I definitely want the gift you gave him." Zhang Xueer quickly snatched the big bag containing tobacco, wine and tea from Ling Xiao's hand.
Zhang Xueer was a little unhappy at first, but now her heart was full of joy. If not for anything else, it was because of Ling Xiao's words of "filial piety" just now. In a mountain village, a boy gave a gift to the girl's father and called it "filial piety".
Yes, he is almost a prospective boyfriend or future son-in-law.
Ling Xiao actually didn't think much about it, he just thought it was a pity to keep these cigarettes and wine here, and might as well give them to Zhang Xueer's father to enjoy. But seeing Zhang Xueer so happy, he was also happy in his heart, so there was no explanation. He and Zhang Xueer
In this relationship, she is almost considered a "half-son-in-law". It is appropriate to give her father some gifts to show her respect and filial piety.
"It's a pity that I really can't find a suitable gift for Sister Linzi. What should I do?" Ling Xiao's mind returned to the gift.
"You don't call Teacher Hu Sister Linzi anymore?" Zhang Xueer's tone was a bit sour.
Ling Xiao smiled and said: "I don't even study anymore. Besides, she's not much older than me. Of course she's called Sister Linzi. You can also call her Sister Linzi, she's not your teacher now."
"That's not okay. She is my teacher and will be my teacher forever." Zhang Xueer said this, as if she was reminding Ling Xiao of something.
Ling Xiao knew what she was thinking, but he didn't tell her. He immersed himself in picking out gifts for Hu Lin. Zhang Xueer was different from any woman he got along with. She was just a student studying. Her pursuit of love was aesthetic and unique. She
She won't tolerate other women sharing a boyfriend with her.
"I'm afraid this is also the reason why she always stops me at the last moment? If she doesn't have that kind of relationship with me, is she testing me?" Ling Xiao thought secretly in his heart.
That time in the forest, he penetrated her a little bit. If it weren't for her big yellow dog, he would have succeeded. Now it seems that it was an excellent opportunity, but it was ruined by a dog.
But he didn't mind. He felt that the current ambiguous relationship was fine, and he was a very contented person.
After a while, Ling Xiao picked out a large bag of exquisite candies and two bottles of relatively high-end red wine. He said, "That's it. You haven't had breakfast yet? We'll go to Sister Linzi's house after breakfast."
Zhang Xueer's little mouth curled up slightly and nodded.
After breakfast, Ling Xiao and Zhang Xueer left Xuanhu Manor and walked towards Hu Lin's home. Zhou Jun followed them not far or close, like Ling Xiao's shadow.
Down the mountain, Jasmine Primary School is still under construction. The school will be put into use before the start of the new semester, and the construction company is working overtime to build it.
Ling Xiao and Zhang Xueer found Hu Lin at the construction site. She was negotiating with a foreman on a project quality issue. She was wearing work clothes, a pair of big-toe shoes, and a safety helmet on her head, making her look like a female engineer.
.She has a very charming look like this, which is different from her standing on the podium.
Ling Xiao waited until she finished talking to the foreman before walking over, "Sister Linzi, the sun is so harsh and you still come to the construction site, aren't you afraid of getting tanned?"
Hu Lin saw Ling Xiao and Zhang Xueer and smiled: "What are you two doing here?" She also saw the bag in Ling Xiao's hand, but she couldn't see what was in it. There was also Zhang Xueer.
, Zhang Xueer also held a bag in her hand. In Zhang Xueer's bag, she saw boxes of tobacco and alcohol.
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "We plan to go to your house to have a meal."
Hu Lin rolled her eyes at him, "Why do you still need to pay for your meal? This Goddess Mountain is dozens of miles away. Where can you go to eat and they won't treat you like a distinguished guest?"
This is true. Shennu Pharmaceutical is becoming more and more prosperous now, and the economic benefits it brings have also benefited the surrounding villagers. Everyone has benefited. Ling Xiao, the founder of Shennu Pharmaceutical, has naturally become their most respected person.
Not to mention a meal, there is absolutely no problem even if you stay here for ten and a half days.
"Teacher Hu, don't listen to his nonsense. He is getting more and more unreasonable now." Zhang Xueer also rolled her eyes at Ling Xiao, then looked at Hu Lin and said with a smile: "Teacher Hu, you forgot what day it is today."
Is it done?"
"What day is today? Is it important?" Hu Lin asked doubtfully.
"Oh, my teacher Hu, today is your birthday. How come you have forgotten such an important day?" Zhang Xueer looked very surprised.
Hu Lin was stunned for a moment, then lightly patted her forehead and said with a wry smile: "Oh, look at my memory, I have forgotten it. There are too many things to be busy with recently, not only the construction of the school, but also the teachers and
I have to deal with all the students’ problems, and I wish I could break myself in half and use them.”
She is the principal of Moli Elementary School, and she has to handle all aspects of things. She is indeed very busy. Ling Xiao felt that she seemed to have lost some weight, and said with some distress: "Sister Linzi, you just have a day off today and don't worry about these things.
Come on, have a good birthday."
Hu Lin shook her head, "How can that be done? There are many things happening on the construction site."
Ling Xiao smiled and said: "I'll help you deal with it. You go back to rest and prepare lunch. I told you that I came to your house specifically for a meal today. I like to eat your scrambled eggs, so remember to scramble one."
Hu Lin was still hesitating, so Zhang Xueer interrupted and said: "Teacher Hu, just let him handle it. He is also a busy person anyway. When I went to find him, he was still... sleeping in bed. You are too lazy to take a day off.
, today is your birthday again, you just have a day off."
"Okay, I can't pester you two brats." Hu Lin finally agreed. She looked at Ling Xiao and said, "Then you come over for lunch today and I will scramble eggs for you."
"Okay, fry more." Ling Xiao said with a smile.
Zhang Xueer frowned at Ling Xiao, as if she was jealous or coquettish. It was not clear what she was thinking.
Hu Lin and Zhang Xueer left the construction site.
Zhou Jun then came over and stood close to Ling Xiao. There were many people on the construction site, many of them with unfamiliar faces. As a bodyguard, he must be closely protected.
"What happened in the past two days?" Ling Xiao asked.
Zhou Jun knew what he was referring to. He shook his head and said, "Nothing happened. Everything is calm."
Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. If the Mu family made any move, it must have happened. Everything has been calm these two days, which means that his plan was successful and there were no mistakes.
"Pay more attention to the Mu family's movements, but be careful not to be noticed by them," Ling Xiao said.
"I will." Zhou Jun nodded gently.
Zhou Jun was a man of few words, so Ling Xiao didn't say much to him. After chatting for a few words, he started to visit the construction site. He negotiated with several foremen about construction issues, and sometimes even helped with some work himself.
What. Before noon, he was exhausted and sweating profusely, and you could smell the sour smell on his body from a distance.
"It turns out it's really tiring. No wonder Sister Linzi has lost weight due to fatigue." Only after experiencing it personally did Ling Xiao know how hard it was for Hu Lin during this period of time.
When he was free, Ling Xiao asked for the phone number of a 4S store and ordered a Ford Raptor for Zhou Jun. The 4S store was a 4S store in Batian City. He called and as soon as the other party knew his identity, he even
There is no need for a deposit, just tell him when to pick up the car. Now in Batian City, almost everyone knows Ling Xiao.
Near noon, Hu Lin went to the construction site and asked Ling Xiao to go back for dinner.
"Look at you, you are covered in dust and dirty. Stand still and I will pat you." Hu Lin patted the dust off Ling Xiao's body with her palms like a big sister taking care of her younger brother.
Ling Xiao felt very happy and said with a smile: "Sister Linzi, lunch is ready?"
"It's done. Zhang Xueer also went to the pastry shop in town to order a cake. Really, why bother? Isn't it just an ordinary birthday?" Hu Lin said this, but she was very happy in her heart.
"No birthday is ordinary. Every birthday is important. Sister Linzi, I wish you a happy twentieth birthday," Ling Xiao said.
"Twenty years old? Geez..." Hu Lin was amused by him.
Ling Xiao said to Zhou Jun: "How about you go to have lunch with me?"
Zhou Jun shook his head, "No, I'll wait for you outside. I'll ask Zhang Xiaohua to bring lunch."
"You're welcome, just go and eat together." Hu Lin also said.
"No, thank you." Zhou Jun still said the same thing.
Ling Xiao smiled and said: "It's up to him, I'm really hungry and I'm going to eat."
Hu Lin smiled helplessly. She knew that Zhou Jun was Ling Xiao's bodyguard, but she didn't know what kind of person Zhou Jun was. Zhou Jun refused to go, so she didn't persuade him any more and followed Ling Xiao.
Walk to her home.
At the door of Hu Lin's house, Zhang Xueer, wearing an apron, was looking up. She couldn't wait for the meal.
