Chapter 297 Gift



Chapter 297 Gift

"It really is you. I didn't expect to see you in the capital. Why are you here?"

Zhu Zhengliang was very surprised. He didn't expect to meet Lin Shu here. Lin Shu was now dressed in a fashionable style, and her temperament and appearance had made a qualitative leap. He couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes.

Lin Shu saw the lunch box in his hand and asked in surprise, "Who are you delivering lunch to?"

Before Zhu Zhengliang could answer, the man at the stall next to him said, "Zhengliang, did you meet a friend? Go and chat with your friend first. Give me the lunch box first."

Zhu Zhengliang smiled awkwardly and handed the lunch box to the middle-aged man.

"This is my dad. He has nothing to do so he came here to set up a stall."

Lin Shu was not interested in Zhu Zhengliang's situation. Ever since he left Xiaohe Village, she didn't want to have anything to do with him, let alone see him.

If he dared to come up to me like this in Xiaohe Village, I might have been so eager to beat him up.

Lin Shu frowned slightly, walked around him and tried to leave.

"Lin Shu..."

Lin Shu frowned: "What's the matter?"

"No, it's just that we rarely see each other and I wanted to talk to you for a few words."

"I don't have anything to say to you." Seeing him blocking her way, Lin Shu turned the cart and walked back.

It was at this time that Zhu Zhengliang noticed that Lin Shu was pushing a stroller with two children in it.

"This is...your child?"

Lin Shu was too lazy to pay attention to him. Wasn't this obvious?

"Lin Shu..."

Seeing that Lin Shu ignored him, Zhu Zhengliang quickly chased after him.

"Your child is very cute. I didn't expect that your child has grown so big after not seeing him for a few years."

Really just making conversation.

Seeing that he was chasing her closely, Lin Shu stopped and asked, "How old is your child with Wei Zhiqing?"

"......" Zhu Zhengliang smiled awkwardly: "I'm not married yet."

"Scumbag! Rotten cucumber!"

As far as she knew, when they were in Xiaohe Village, she heard Qi Xiaoyun say that he and Wei Miao were already in a de facto marriage.

Unexpectedly, after returning to the city, he kicked Wei Zhiqing out.

Lin Shu felt disgusted to say any more words to him.

Zhu Zhengliang felt embarrassed and ashamed, and at the same time was shocked that Lin Shu would swear, which he had never expected.

Lin Shu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the man standing there in a daze and not catching up with her. With her two children, she really didn't want to deal with this kind of scumbag who she wanted to beat up the moment she saw him.

"Who was that woman just now? Is she your friend?"

When Zhu's father saw his son coming back in a daze, he couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Zhu Zhengliang walked into the back of the stall, sat down on a stool, and replied absentmindedly, "A friend."

"She's pretty, but unfortunately she's already a mother. If she weren't married, she'd be a good match for you."

"I'm a working class person who only earns 30 or 40 yuan a month in the city. She doesn't look down on me."

Zhu's father's curiosity suddenly rose, "Oh, she even looks down on your employed worker. Could it be that her current man is more promising than you?"

"What future do I have? You transferred the job to me, otherwise I would still be unemployed."

Although Zhu Zhengliang has no money, he is very connoisseur of valuables. When he met Lin Shu just now, he noticed that the watch on Lin Shu's wrist and the necklace on her neck were very valuable.

The watch is a famous foreign watch, and he could never afford it in his lifetime.

I’m afraid he will never be able to afford to buy a necklace in his lifetime.

How could he possibly compare with such conditions?

I heard that her husband comes from a good family. Now looking at the way she dresses and accessories, the rumors are true.

Zhu Zhengliang didn't say how much he regretted not being with Lin Shu. If he had the chance to do it all over again, he still wouldn't choose Lin Shu.

In his heart, he felt that everything Lin Shu had now was given by her man.

Without her man, Lin Shu is still nothing, just an ordinary country girl.

“How much money did you make today?”

Father Zhu took the last bite of rice from the lunch box and put it back into the bag. "We haven't opened yet. If we don't open again, we'll have nothing to eat today."

Zhu Zhengliang was in a delicate mood. He snatched the bag and said, "I'll go home first."

Before going home, I took a walk around Fuchang Street, but didn't see Lin Shu. I thought he had left.

At this time, Lin Shu left Fuchang Street after buying another painting.

I wanted to walk around a bit longer, but when I thought of Zhu Zhengliang being here, I lost the mood to go on.

When I returned to the hotel, I met Gu Jiu who was about to go out.

"Are you going out again?"

"No, I went back to the hotel room and didn't see you guys, so I was about to go out to look for you." Gu Jiu squatted down and kissed Dabao and Erbao.

Dabao wiped his cheeks in disgust, but Erbao was just the opposite, grinning brightest than anyone else.

"My daughter is so considerate." Having said that, Gu Jiu directly picked up the second baby.

Lin Shu knew that Dabao was disgusted, so he turned around and asked, "Have you finished your work?"

"It's done. Where did you three go today?"

"I went for a walk on Fuchang Street."

Back in the room, Lin Shu saw a lot of gift boxes piled up in the living room. He looked at Gu Jiu in confusion, "Did you buy them or were they given to you by others?"

"My friend gave me some, and I bought the sugar-coated fire cakes. The day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I plan to go back tomorrow. Is there anything else you want to do?"

Gu Jiu put down Erbao who was struggling to get up from the ground, and took out a sugar-coated steamed bun from the gift box and gave it to her.

Then, take Dabao out of the stroller and let him get the candy cake by himself.

At this time, Gu Jiu also noticed the baby carriage, "This carriage is quite convenient, where did you buy it?"

"I saw one like this in the department store today and bought it. Although this stroller is convenient, it's not cheap at all. It costs more than 400 yuan."

Lin Shu deliberately said that there was only one car, and if Gu Jiu didn’t see it next time when he went to the department store, he could just assume it was sold out.

"This should be a foreign product. It's expensive for a reason. We are different from others. It would be much more convenient for our two children to go out with this stroller. Even if it's more expensive, it's worth it as long as it makes life easier."

Gu Jiu looked at the baby carriage and became more and more satisfied.

Lin Shu asked Gu Jiu to look after the children. Since he had to go back tomorrow, he had to pack his luggage first and sort out the luggage to be checked in.

......

Coming out of the airport, Gu Youhui's figure appeared in their sight again.

If they come back from outside, no matter at the station or the airport, the person most likely to pick them up is Gu Youhui.

"Uncle, aunt, Dabao and Erbao."

After passing through customs, Gu Youhui trotted over, leaned over to kiss Dabao and Erbao, then excitedly took the suitcase that Gu Jiu was pushing.

"Uncle, did you encounter any interesting things during your trip abroad?"

Seeing that he couldn't wait to know about their experiences abroad, Gu Jiu couldn't help but laugh: "Does earning US dollars count?"

"Calculate!"

Gu Youhui was excited, staring at him with sparkling eyes: "How do you make US dollars? How long have you been there? How much did you earn?"

"Let's talk about it when we get back. This is not the place to talk." Gu Jiu kept the question in suspense, which whetted Gu Youhui's appetite.

After loading the luggage into the car and returning home, Liu Xiaoe saw the luggage piled up in the living room. She came back to her senses from the joy of seeing her grandchildren. "My dear, how much stuff did you buy this time? We only had three suitcases when we went out, and we came back with seven."

"I only got two more when I came back from the United States. The remaining two were bought in the capital. They are filled with some special products of the capital. It happens to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I will give one to everyone as a festival gift."

Lin Shu smiled helplessly, and without caring about anything else for the moment, he went upstairs to take a shower and change clothes first.

As for the two children, let them kiss and cuddle with their grandparents first.

After returning home from a trip, it takes two hours to pack my luggage, take care of my personal hygiene, and finally settle my luggage, children, and myself.

"Dad, this is the American ginseng we brought back from abroad. You can make wine or stew it."

"Mom, this is the bracelet I picked for your son-in-law. Do you like it?"

The gift for Lin Dashan was a box of American ginseng, and the gift for Liu Xiaoe was a large gold bracelet. The price of gold in the United States is currently lower than in China, so it was just right to buy them as gifts.

"I like it, but it's too expensive."

Lin Dashan was able to keep a straight expression when receiving the gift, but Liu Xiaoe stroked the big gold bracelet on her wrist and smiled so hard that her teeth were showing.

"Yuhui, this is for you."

Gu Jiu took out a watch from a pile of gifts. It was the latest model of a foreign brand, a mechanical sports watch suitable for young people.

The family nanny, Sister Chen, also received a gift, a gold necklace weighing a few grams.

Sister Chen didn't expect to receive such a valuable gift. She wanted to return it but Lin Shu didn't allow her. In the end, she was deeply moved when she accepted it.

This was the first time she met such a generous employer while working as a nanny. She couldn't afford a decent gift in return, so she could only work harder in the future.

Gu Youhui found a lot of small gift boxes in the suitcase and asked in disbelief, "Uncle, don't tell me that the small boxes in your suitcase are all gifts for everyone?"

"Why not? After traveling across the ocean, you have to bring back some gifts. Don't worry, the international gold price is cheaper than here."

"Is my watch expensive?" Gu Youhui asked this, wanting to estimate how much his uncle had spent on gifts during this trip abroad.

“Not expensive, just a few hundred dollars.”

Gu Jiu curled the corners of his mouth slightly and told him the real price generously.

"Damn, it's so expensive!"

Gu Youhui covered his watch with an incredible look on his face, and asked with a little fear: "Uncle, don't tell me that you made a fortune by going to the United States?"

"You guessed it right. We must have made a lot of money there, otherwise we wouldn't have brought back so many expensive gifts."

Of course, among his nephews, Gu Youhui’s gift was the most valuable.

Because he cares most about them.

Gifts for close ones must be more expensive.

"I wanted to know this at the airport before. Uncle, aunt, please tell me how you make money over there."

The main reason was that he was there for a short time. Gu Youhui couldn't figure out how he could make a lot of money in such a short time. How could he make money?

Of course, the thrilling stock market adventure was recounted again, leaving the people at home stunned. Sometimes they frowned in worry, and sometimes they smiled happily.

How is this different from robbing money?

"Uncle, aunt, why haven't I heard you talk about the opportunity to make a fortune?"

Take him along, maybe he can make a small profit.

Gu Youhui was so regretful!
