After get off work, Zhu Achun went to the nearby vegetable market to buy fresh meat and vegetables, and went home to prepare supper.
Both sons are workaholics and will not be home until night.
Because of this, she postponed supper until eight o'clock in the evening and tried her best to take care of the two workaholics.
At almost eight o'clock, Zheng Duoduo came back.
"Auntie! I'm back!"
Zhu Achun leaned out from the kitchen and smiled and said, "Wash your hands and drink some water. You will be able to have supper soon."
"Hey!" Zheng Duoduo looked around and asked, "Iron Tou hasn't come back yet?"
Zhu Achun explained: "He said in the morning that there was an international express delivery to pick it up in the evening, and he would probably come back later and let us eat it in advance."
"International Express?" Zheng Duoduo's eyes moved slightly and asked, "It should be a birthday gift for Xiaoxin, right?"
Tomorrow is the birthday of Xiaoxin and Xiao Chong, which is also the standard for their 18-year-old adulthood. Everyone quietly received a verbal invitation from Sister Ling, saying that they would go to the garden for a big meal and celebrate the two children a little.
He prepares birthday gifts for Ranran and the others every year, but since he came back from Tiet, the birthday gifts from others were not enough. Even no matter how carefully he chose, he was not as good as a little bit.
The guy Tietou was particularly willing to spend money on Xiaoxin. As long as she liked and liked by her, he would probably have to spend all his time taking down the stars in the sky.
Last year on Xiaoxin and Xiao Chong's birthday, he gave each person a computer and bought three sets of diamond jewelry for Xiaoxin in private.
Fearing that she would not dare to leave it at home, he went to the bank to open a large safe for her and specially stored her precious items.
Since then, he has bought expensive things for Xiaoxin a lot, including all kinds of rare treasures.
Every time I buy it, I will reduce the price by two or three zeros. I cheated Xiaoxin and said it was not expensive. I bought it as an investment. I will sell it if it needs it when the price rises, and it will be considered as pocket money stored in the bank.
Although Sister Ling Ling is rich, she has almost no luxury goods except for the luxurious and high-end Xinyuan.
Their family is very low-key, and they are mainly practical in buying and selling things, and rarely buy some expensive items.
Although Xiaoxin's chess teacher is respected, she has always lived in the military courtyard and uses all the items of ordinary people.
Because of this, Xiaoxin has no idea about luxury and expensive things, and also gives Tietou the guy the chance to make his lover laugh.
Zhu Achun was busy cooking and explained: "It should be. Xiao Xin is all eighteen years old and will be a big girl from now on. You can't be careless about tomorrow's birthday gifts."
"Auntie, do you want to buy a gift for Xiaoxin?" Zheng Duoduo couldn't help saying, "I'll buy it for you."
Zhu Achun smiled and replied: "No, no, I'm ready. I knitted a sweater for her and made a pair of gloves for her."
Zheng Duoduo smiled: "Then I'll buy stationery. Xiao Xin will take the college entrance examination next year, and good stationery is indispensable."
"Don't buy too expensive ones." Zhu Achun reminded: "Otherwise the wife will be unhappy. Last time Tietou bought a computer, the wife hinted that it was too expensive and asked him to buy some writing notebooks for them in the future."
"I know." Zheng Duoduo muttered: "You have to remind Tietou of this."
Zhu Achun smiled bitterly: "He doesn't know what's going on. He usually looks very frugal, but every time he buys things, he always chooses expensive ones. The jade Guanyin he gave me last time - it looks very expensive,
I didn't dare to take it out and kept locking it in the cabinet."
"That...is OK." Zheng Duoduo said: "It's not very expensive. If you like it, wear it."
Zhu Achun shook his head: "It's better to be good. I usually do cleaning work. We wear too expensive things and may be made fun of them. We are open and honest, and there is no need to care about what others think. But some colleagues will talk a little more.
, Let’s not be too arrogant, just hide good things and keep them in check. As colleagues, they look up every day and don’t look down. Try to get along well with each other.”
"Yeah." Zheng Duoduo nodded after being taught: "Auntie, I understand. Then it'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 walking in step by step with a big box in his arms and solemnly and careful.
Zheng Duoduo looked at his careful appearance and couldn't help laughing: "Oh! What are you holding? Someone's sincerity?"
Chen Xinzhi glanced at him, shouted "Mom!" to the kitchen with a handsome face, and then continued to move carefully to his room.
Zheng Duoduo poked his head and whispered: "What is it? Look at your trembling look, can it be a fragile product?"
"Yes." Chen Xinzhi nodded.
Zheng Duoduo asked: "Porcelain? Ceramics?"
"No." Chen Xinzhi shook his head.
Zheng Duoduo asked, "What exactly is it?"
Chen Xinzhi ignored him, washed his hands on his own, turned around and went to the bathroom to change his casual clothes.
"Hey!" Zheng Duoduo raised his eyebrows, "I have tried my best to help you a lot today."
Chen Xinzhi asked calmly: "Why are you busy?"
"About you and Xiaoxin." Zheng Duoduo lowered his voice: "I'm very busy."
Chen Xinzhi raised his eyebrows unexpectedly and said indifferently: "There are precious red corals inside. A friend of mine found them for me. He plans to give them to Xiaoxin as a birthday gift tomorrow."
After satisfying his curiosity, Zheng Duoduo explained to him that Xue Heng discovered their "big secret".
"It took me a lot of saliva, and it took me more than an hour to finally calm him down!"
Chen Xinzhi lowered his eyes and his face looked slightly solemn.
"Looking at a time, we will know about our wife and husband sooner or later."
"Don't!" Zheng Duoduo smiled bitterly: "At least you have to wait until Xiaoxin goes to college."
Chen Xinzhi explained: "She has already made some progress in studying abroad and should be approved next month. Whether she stays in the imperial capital to go to college or Wenguo, I can take care of her."
He expanded some of his business to the imperial capital in order to have more opportunities to be with her so as not to suffer from lovesickness.
Most of his business is in Wenguo, and it would be great if she could go there to study in college.
Zheng Duoduo couldn't help but remind: "It may not be possible, but Xiaoxin has to make the decision. Sister Ling Ling and others pay great attention to the child's self-choice. If she insists on going, you can take care of her there. Ling
Sister Ling and the others should agree.”
"I..." Chen Xinzhi suddenly said: "I have a second-hand preparation too. If they know about our love, they might as well propose to Xiaoxin on the spot and formally ask his husband and wife to marry his daughter."
What?!
Zheng Duoduo was stunned: "Proposal?! Mom! Don't scare people, okay? His daughter has just been raised and will only become an adult tomorrow. You - what are you anxious about? Calm down!"
"I'm anxious." Chen Xinzhi coughed uneasyly: "I finally waited until she became an adult... I really want her to be with me every day."
