After Zhu Achun got off work, he went to a nearby vegetable market to buy fresh meat and vegetables and went home to prepare dinner.
Both sons are workaholics and never come home until evening.
Because of this, she postponed dinner until eight o'clock in the evening, trying to take care of the two workaholics.
At almost eight o'clock, Zheng Duoduo came back.
"Auntie! I'm back!"
Zhu Achun poked his head out of the kitchen and said with a smile: "Wash your hands and drink some water. You will have dinner soon."
"Hey!" Zheng Duoduo looked around and asked, "Is Tietou not back yet?"
Zhu Achun explained: "He said in the morning that he had an international express delivery to pick up in the evening. He would probably come back later and let us eat in advance."
"International express delivery?" Zheng Duoduo's eyes moved slightly and asked: "It should be a birthday gift for Xiaoxin, right?"
Tomorrow is Xiao Xin and Xiao Chong's birthday, which is also the standard for their eighteen-year-old adulthood. Everyone quietly received a verbal invitation from Sister Lingling, saying that they would go to the garden to have a big meal to celebrate the two children.
He prepares birthday gifts for a few of Ranran and the others every year, but since Iron Tou came back, the birthday gifts for everyone else are not enough. No matter how carefully he chooses, they are still not as good as a few.
That guy Tietou is very willing to spend money for Xiaoxin. As long as she likes it, he will probably go to great lengths to get it, even if it is a star in the sky.
Last year, for Xiao Xin and Xiao Chong's birthday, he gave each of them a computer and privately bought three sets of diamond jewelry for Xiao Xin.
Afraid that she would not keep it at home, he went to the bank to open a large safe for her and store her precious items.
Since then, he has been buying Xiaoxin many valuable things, including all kinds of rare treasures.
Every time I buy something, I will subtract two or three zeros from the price to trick Xiaoxin into saying it is not expensive. I will buy it as an investment. If the price rises later, I will sell it if necessary and treat it as pocket money in the bank.
Although Sister Ling Ling has a huge fortune, her family has almost no luxuries except for the luxurious Xinyuan.
Their family is very low-key, and they only buy and sell things that are practical, and rarely buy expensive items.
Although Xiaoxin's chess teacher is highly respected, he has been living in a small courtyard in the military area and uses items belonging to ordinary people.
Because of this, Xiaoxin has no idea about luxury and expensive things, and she gave Tietou a chance to make her sweetheart smile.
Zhu Achun was busy cooking and explained: "That's right. Our Xiaoxin is already eighteen years old and will be a big girl from now on. We can't be careless about tomorrow's birthday gift."
"Auntie, do you want to buy a gift for Xiaoxin?" Zheng Duoduo couldn't help but said, "Let me buy it for you."
Zhu Achun smiled and replied: "No, no, I'm ready. I knitted a sweater for her and made her a pair of gloves."
Zheng Duoduo smiled: "Then let me buy stationery. Xiaoxin will take the college entrance examination next year, and good stationery is indispensable."
"Don't buy something too expensive." Zhu Achun reminded: "Otherwise my wife will be unhappy. Last time Tietou bought a computer, my wife hinted that it was too expensive and asked him to buy some writing books for them in the future."
"I know." Zheng Duoduo muttered: "You have to remind Tietou about this."
Zhu Achun smiled bitterly: "He doesn't know what's going on. He usually looks very frugal, but every time he buys something, he always picks out the expensive ones. The jade Guanyin he gave me last time - it looks very expensive.
I didn’t even dare to take it out, so I kept it locked in the cabinet.”
"That... is okay." Zheng Duoduo said, "It's not very expensive. If you like it, just wear it."
Zhu Achun shook his head: "It's better to say goodbye. I usually do cleaning work, and I might be laughed at if I wear something too expensive. We are all honest and don't care what other people think. But some colleagues will say a few words.
, let’s not be too showy, just hide the good things and keep them. Colleagues, see each other every day, and try to get along well with each other.”
"Yeah." Zheng Duoduo nodded after being taught: "Auntie, I understand. That's up to you. You can wear matching clothes when you don't have to go to work."
Zhu Achun agreed.
Just then, the door opened!
I saw Chen Xinzhi holding a big box and walking in solemnly and carefully step by step.
Zheng Duoduo looked at his cautious look and couldn't help but laugh: "Yo! What are you holding? Someone's sincerity?"
Chen Xinzhi glanced at him, with a handsome face, he called "Mom!" to the kitchen, and then continued to move cautiously to his room.
Zheng Duoduo poked his head and followed over, whispering: "What is it? Looking at your trembling look, it can't be something fragile, right?"
"Yeah." Chen Xinzhi nodded.
Zheng Duoduo asked: "Porcelain? Ceramics?"
"No." Chen Xinzhi shook his head.
Zheng Duoduo scratched his head and asked: "What exactly is it?"
Chen Xinzhi ignored him, washed his hands, and went to the bathroom to change into casual clothes.
"Hey!" Zheng Duoduo raised his eyebrows, "I have worked hard to do you a big favor today."
Chen Xinzhi asked calmly: "What are you busy with?"
"About you and Xiaoxin." Zheng Duoduo lowered his voice: "It's a big, big favor."
Chen Xinzhi raised his eyebrows unexpectedly and said quietly: "There is precious red coral inside. A friend of mine found it for me. I plan to give it to Xiaoxin as a birthday gift tomorrow."
After satisfying his curiosity, Zheng Duoduo explained to him the fact that Xue Heng discovered their "big secret".
"It took me a lot of saliva and more than an hour to finally stabilize him!"
Chen Xinzhi lowered his eyes, his face slightly solemn.
"Our affairs... we have to let my wife and husband know sooner or later."
"No!" Zheng Duoduo smiled bitterly: "At least we have to wait until Xiaoxin goes to college."
Chen Xinzhi explained: "She has already made plans to study abroad, and it should be approved next month. Whether she stays in the imperial capital to go to university or goes to Wenzhou, I can take care of her."
He expanded some business and came to the imperial capital in order to have more opportunities to be with her and avoid suffering the pain of lovesickness.
Most of his business is in Wenguo, and it would be great if she could go to college there.
Zheng Duoduo couldn't help but remind: "It may not be possible, Xiaoxin has to make her own decision. Sister Lingling and the others pay great attention to the child's self-selection. If she insists on going, you will be there to take care of her, Lingling
Sister Ling and the others should agree."
"I..." Chen Xinzhi said suddenly: "I also have second-hand preparations. If they find out about our love affair, we can simply propose to Xiaoxin on the spot and formally propose to the husband and wife for their daughter."
What?!
Zheng Duoduo was so frightened that she was dumbfounded: "Proposal?! Oh my god! Don't scare me, okay? My daughter has just been raised and will become an adult tomorrow. You - what are you in a hurry? Calm down!"
"I'm anxious." Chen Xinzhi coughed uneasily: "I finally waited until she was an adult... I really want her to be with me every day, justifiably."
