Ding Fujun's face was serious: "Jiaojiao, if you are coming back to celebrate your mother's birthday, just sit down. If not, just go back."
Wang Fang also scolded: "Jiaojiao, what you said is too much!"
Ding Jiaojiao immediately changed her face: "Mom and Dad, don't be angry. Haiping has specially prepared a gift for you. Haiping, why don't you take it out quickly?"
Xu Haiping quickly placed the gift box in his hand on the coffee table, and opened it proudly: "Mom and Dad, this small gift is not respectful and not expensive, it's only 180,000 yuan... I know Mom likes ancient porcelain.
So I went to another place to buy it for my mother."
This is a Tang Sancai horse. Although it is not large in size, its shape is lifelike. The horse's head is held high and its eyes are round. It is very lively. Most of Tang Sancai's paintings are animal works, which is very valuable for collection.
Wang Fang looked at it and said with a smile: "Hai Ping is determined. The stuff is pretty good."
Ding Fujun's expression also softened. No matter what he said, these two children still had filial piety.
Xu Haiping grinned and turned his attention to Li Yang: "Brother-in-law, have you and my sister prepared any gifts?"
Ding Jiaojiao continued: "What kind of gifts can they prepare? Even if they prepare, it is probably worth hundreds of dollars of rubbish..."
Ding Fujun smiled bitterly to himself and thought, these children just like to compare, which is really a headache.
Wang Fang didn't think Li Yang and Zhou Xue could prepare any good gifts, so they just talked and helped them find the steps: "If you can come and congratulate me on my birthday, that's all you have. It doesn't matter whether it's a gift or not."
Li Yang coughed: "I've prepared this gift..."
After saying this, Li Yang put his hand into his trousers pocket, and immediately, a beautiful gift box with the Gufangzhai logo appeared in front of everyone.
Ding Fujun said, "Something from Gufangzhai?"
Wang Fang's eyes also lit up.
Xu Haiping's face suddenly became a little embarrassed. He knew about Gufangzhai and had been there a few days ago, but he thought the things there were too expensive, so he didn't buy anything.
Ding Jiaojiao didn't know much about Gufangzhai, so she was still talking and sarcastic: "Such a small gift box is enough to coax a child. The hundreds I just said seemed like too much. Oops, it really made me laugh to death."
!”
I would like to explain here that the Ding family did not know about Zhou Xue's promotion to the vice president of Tianguang Group. Their understanding was still the same as a year ago.
When Zhou Xue was still an ordinary white-collar worker, with a monthly salary of just a few thousand, he was the kind who could barely make ends meet.
The reason why Zhou Xue gritted her teeth and wanted to buy a decent gift to celebrate her mother's birthday was not only because of her filial piety, but also because she had a sense of competition. In the past, every year when she came to celebrate her mother's birthday, she was laughed at by Ding Jiaojiao.
Ding Jiaojiao probably wanted to see the joke between Li Yang and Zhou Xue quickly, so she couldn't wait to open the gift box.
But when she saw the thing, her expression was filled with indescribable astonishment. In fact, she didn't know whether the thing was good or bad, but it was clearly marked with a price of 520,000 yuan. She was really shocked, and she could put a duck egg in it even if she opened her mouth!
Zhou Xue saw Ding Jiaojiao's expression in her eyes, and felt an indescribable feeling of joy in her heart. She had been looking forward to this kind of joy for many years, and it had been too long.
Ding Fujun hurriedly said: "Xuexue, Xiaoyang, aren't you spending too much money?"
Wang Fang also glanced at Zhou Xue with some emotion. Then Wang Fang felt that Zhou Xue must have spent all her savings over the years. For Zhou Xue, Wang Fang actually felt quite guilty.
When she was young, she failed to fulfill her responsibilities as a mother. When she grew up, Zhou Xue was very strong and refused to accept help from her, so she had no chance to make up for it.
As for Xue, she is still very filial to herself.
Zhou Xue smiled: "It's not about spending money. We can still afford it now. I never told you that I have been promoted and was the deputy general manager of Tianguang Group last year."
"As for Li Yang, he is also very good. Not only is he the director of the hospital's department, he is also very knowledgeable in antiques. He just made a profit in the antique market and earned a lot of money. Although it is not much, a blue and white bowl like this,
It’s not a problem to buy a few…”
Li Yang was very modest and added: "Our gifts are only average. They are probably much worse than those of my rich sister and brother-in-law..."
So cruel?
Zhou Xue cast an approving look at Li Yang. What she said really relieved her!
Ding Jiaojiao's face turned red with embarrassment, and Xu Haiping was also embarrassed and didn't know what to say. He wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl in. Although they were just ordinary working-class people and had been chewing on their old age, they were really embarrassed in front of Zhou Xue.
I feel very superior, but now...
Wang Fang ignored them and said to Zhou Xue: "Xuexue, you are indeed excellent. Mom is happy for you."
Ding Fujun also praised: "This is really good, Jiaojiao, Haiping, you should study hard with your sister and brother-in-law, and don't come back all day asking us for money. Although I have a retirement salary, your mother also runs several hotels.
But you can’t always treat us like an ATM!”
Xu Haiping shrugged his head: "I know, Dad."
Ding Jiaojiao snorted: "I, I'm not feeling well today and want to go home. Xu Haiping, you loser, if you have any sense, just eat here!"
Xu Haiping had no choice but to leave with Ding Jiaojiao in disgrace.
The old couple were probably speechless and didn't care about Ding Jiaojiao and Xu Haiping. They happily arranged a vegetarian banquet and spent their birthday happily and simply in the company of Li Yang and Zhou Xue.
In the afternoon, Wang Fang and Ding Fujun pestered Li Yang and asked for advice on antiques. Li Yang talked about it, and the old couple listened with rapt attention, and they all praised Li Yang as a talent.
Zhou Xue was with me, and her face felt bright!
After dinner, Zhou Xue looked at how late it was and stood up: "Mom, uncle, Li Yang and I will go back first and come back to visit you another day!"
Ding Fujun coughed twice: "Xuexue, why don't you stay today? This is your home too!"
Zhou Xue looked hesitant, but after seeing Wang Fang's expectant eyes, she nodded in agreement.
Wang Fang was very happy and said excitedly: "The bedroom on the second floor has always been yours. Today I finally use it. I will help you clean it up."
Ding Fujun followed: "I'll go too."
Zhou Xue said hurriedly: "No, I'll just clean it up myself. You can continue talking about antiques."
Following, Zhou Xue quickly walked up to the second floor!
It wasn't until 10 o'clock in the evening that Li Yang was let go by the two elders and opened the door and walked in. At this moment, Zhou Xue was cuddling on the bedside, holding her mobile phone and browsing the news. When she saw Li Yang entering the room, she put down the mobile phone: "Why are we talking until now?
"
Li Yang looked innocent: "You think I think your mother and your uncle are simply antique fanatics."
Zhou Xue smiled: "Thank you for putting up with them."
Li Yang waved his hand: "Then I shouldn't have done it. Well, you can go to bed early. I've also made the floor."
Zhou Xue said: "I've seen the room. There are no extra beddings on the floor, not even a mat. You, you just come with me..."
At the end of her words, Zhou Xue's beautiful face turned a little red with embarrassment.
Li Yang was overjoyed when he heard this. He actually had the same treatment as before in his hometown. Moreover, Zhou Xue's attitude towards her has obviously improved a lot. Maybe she won't mind if she has sex with me.
Something subtle and hard to say?
Thinking of this, Li Yang glanced at Zhou Xue's pair of superb long legs. The state of being close together aroused Li Yang's desire to separate. If they could be separated, it would be a very beautiful thing!
