Self-cultivation with a plate of tomato scrambled eggs

Chapter 27

After the birthday banquet of the old man of the Yao family, Song Xiaowu counted the days, since he had stayed here for a week, he began to prepare gifts for everyone when he returned home.

Ren Xulun found out about buying American ginseng for Li Tianqi's parents. He didn't know the identity of the other party, but suggested: "The quality of the ginseng outside varies, and it happens that there are some good ones at home. Wouldn't it be better to bring some back?" convenient?"

Song Xiaowu repeatedly refused, and had to say that he bought it for a friend. Ren Xulun still insisted, and said with a smile: "What's the matter? Don't be so rude..." Song Xiaowu didn't accept his kindness in the end—such a thing as borrowing flowers to present Buddha, It was too insincere.

The next day Yao Jian called and heard that Song Xiaowu planned to return to China, but said, "It's not easy to get a return ticket at this time. I'm going to come over to do something in a few days. It's the same when you come back together when I arrive."

Song Xiaowu was about to speak, but Yao Jian seemed to have guessed his thoughts: "If you feel embarrassed to keep causing trouble to your cousin's family, I can ask someone to find you another place to live."

"Hmm..." Hearing that what he said made sense, Song Xiaowu agreed, and after hanging up the phone, he thought belatedly: Given the background of the Yao family, why wouldn't he be able to buy a plane ticket?

It can only be said that his brother's indisputable aura is too strong, and he can still be convincing when he hears it from the phone across an ocean.

But since he agreed, Song Xiaowu didn't want to be too impatient, and he didn't have to worry about returning home, so he put it aside for the time being.

What he needs to concentrate on right now is, should he also buy a gift for Mrs. Yao?

Song Xiaowu was actually quite conflicted: buy it, Mrs. Yao has never looked at him directly, so she probably won't look good after giving it to him; don't buy it, even Aunt Lin who has gone home has a share. Leaving Mrs. Yao alone?Isn't it a challenge for yourself...

After hesitating for a moment, Song Xiaowu still decided: no matter what, he can't be that person who doesn't know how to behave.

After making up his mind, Song Xiaowu took the card and asked the driver to take him directly to the busiest business district in Anji City because he was going to buy jewelry and the like.

Song Xiaowu can't speak the language of Citigroup. Although he has successfully bought many delicious and fun things in Mongolia with his strong body expression ability when he was wandering outside these days, after all, the things he wants to buy this time are much more expensive Yes, he has to bring a driver as an interpreter.

The two men are destined to be at a loss walking on the street lined with famous classic stores. The driver knows that these are top luxury brands, but which brand is mainly jewelry and which brand is most popular with women, he is completely uninitiated; as for Song Xiaowu, now he really regrets that he never listened carefully when Yuan Ke talked about the next season's new product of a certain brand in front of him with great interest.

Just as he regretted that it was too late, Song Xiaowu saw Yuan Ke stepping out of a cafe on the street.

No way... I want to have this kind of summoning magic, how can the earth accommodate him?

"Xiao Wu?" Yuan Ke walked towards Song Xiaowu who was standing there with a dazed face in great surprise, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect to meet you here. What are you doing here at Citigroup?"

Song Xiaowu finally came back to his senses at this moment, and when he heard her ask, he felt that the twists and turns of the Yao family's relationship could not be explained clearly in a few words, so he only answered in a general way: "Let's take a look at the elders here."

Yuan Ke didn't care about this question either, she just nodded and said, "My friend is getting married next month and invited me to be a bridesmaid. Anyway, I have nothing to do at home, so I might as well come over early and play by myself."

Song Xiaowu laughed and said, "You came at such a good time!" Leading Yuan Ke forward, he said, "I haven't bought the gift I want to bring to my elder brother and mother when I return to China. I plan to buy it for her." The same jewelry, but the brand, style, and small ones all depend on you!"

Yuan Ke feigned anger and said: "Okay you! As soon as I saw me, I said that you were going back to China, and that I came at the right time...Let me accompany you to pick out gifts, did you buy the one for me?"

Song Xiaowu hurriedly said: "Of course I bought it! It was installed for you earlier, and I will send it to you when I go back."

When Yuan Ke heard this, he looked at his expression suspiciously: "Really?"

"Really!" Song Xiaowu's face was so sincere that he almost swore to God.Then he explained nicely: "Besides, it's still early for me to go back to China. Shouldn't I buy the things first?" Yuan Ke let out a "hum" before turning pale.

He did buy a gift for Yuan Ke, but it was just a handicraft sold by the local aborigines. If he didn't give it away, it would be nice to put it at home as a decoration.

It's not that he is picky, but even though he and Yuan Ke are friends, the two families have the intention of making them a couple. Even Yuan Ke himself has a different attitude towards this matter after knowing his relationship with Li Tianqi. Not yearning nor repelling.Since he wants to get rid of this misunderstanding, he shouldn't express any special meaning to her.

Anyway, he was already mentally prepared to be used by Yuan Ke as a tool to beat him after the gift was given out.Song Xiaowu thought unhesitatingly.

Since there was Yuan Ke as a staff officer and an interpreter, Song Xiaowu asked the driver brother to find a tavern to rest at will. After driving for so long, and wandering around with Song Xiaowu for a long time, he should be considerate of his hard work.

After Yuan Ke inquired about the price of the gift that Song Xiaowu had prepared for Mr. Yao and Yao Jian, he took him to a shop with ease, and picked out a small brooch, in the shape of an abstract swan, inlaid with a precious stone. .

She explained half-jokingly to Song Xiaowu: "This thing is not obtrusive, and it will be convenient to give it to anyone in the future."

Song Xiaowu laughed cooperatively: Yuan Ke knew that it would be difficult for him to do so in front of Mrs. Yao, so instead of comforting him meaninglessly, it would be better to laugh at him like this, he could still tell the difference between good and evil.

After the clerk finished wrapping the brooch, Song Xiaowu was about to swipe his card when he saw that Yuan Ke had taken a fancy to another bracelet, so he also paid the bill for her.Yuan Ke was a little surprised when she found out. After the two walked out of the shop, she said, "I didn't intend to take advantage of you."

Song Xiaowu smiled and said: "It should be, there is no one who just chooses what she chooses and let the girls pay for it alone. And you helped me, I should thank you in the first place."

"So this is just a thank you gift?" Yuan Ke seemed a little disappointed.

Song Xiaowu suddenly didn't know how to answer.Because I had little contact with girls, I subconsciously felt that I should take care of them more, but for a while I forgot to avoid Yuan Ke's special thoughts.

"Still in a daze..." Yuan Ke's expression returned to normal in an instant, "Go to the queue over there and buy me something to drink. It can also be regarded as showing your sincerity in thanking me."

Song Xiaowu looked in the direction she indicated, and saw a black and dense queue of people, with neither head nor tail, turned around and said to Yuan Ke very handsomely: "Please be good to me!"

A few days after meeting Yuan Ke, Yao Jian called and said that the house had been found for Song Xiaowu. He only told the three uncles and three aunts that Yao Jianjian had come to discuss business and asked Song Xiaowu to follow suit. Living together would inevitably disturb her. To the normal work and rest of several elders, so as to save them from worrying.

Song Xiaowu was extra careful, and after he finished talking about the business, he suddenly said: "Brother, I met an acquaintance recently, guess who it is?"

"I still know your acquaintances, I can count them on one hand."

Seeing that he refused to accept the offer, Song Xiaowu changed his route: "Yuan Ke. She said that a friend of hers married a Citiman. She came here to attend the wedding and planned to let me be her boyfriend, but I didn't agree. .”

Yao Jian still gave a "hmm" in a neutral manner, as if she was just patiently listening to his gossip, and didn't care about the content of the words.

Song Xiaowu didn't waste his time talking, and asked his father what he was doing. After Aunt Lin came back, he hung up the phone.

He packed up his luggage and put the two suits away separately. He was going to say hello to his third uncle and aunt in advance, and move to the house that Yao Jian had found for him on a certain day.

When the third uncle and the third aunt heard that he was going to move out, they initially blocked him one after another. Later, Song Xiaowu brought out the reason why he was learning from his elder brother, and the two nodded reluctantly. The third aunt was still worried, He asked people to go there every day to clean and cook, and asked Song Xiaowu to bring a few helpers there, so as not to find a satisfactory one temporarily.

Of course Song Xiaowu refused, and couldn't refuse, so he had to use Yao Jian as a shield again: "My brother wants to bring a lot of people here, they are used to it, and they can handle daily life. Go back to the third uncle and third aunt for a meal." Yao Jian naturally wanted to visit here first after getting off the plane, so Song Xiaowu's words were not false.

The third aunt smiled and took his hand: "Then you two have to take good care of yourselves. Don't eat those fried and sweet things outside. If you want to eat something or if you are missing something, you will answer three." Come here, aunt." Song Xiaowu agreed one by one.

The surrounding environment of the house that Yao Jian chose is quiet and pleasant, but it takes two hours to drive to the nearest supermarket. Fortunately, Song Xiaowu has stayed for a while, and knows the virtues of this place, so he bought a lot of toast when he came here Milk, noodles and eggs, plus a big bag of fruit, I plan to spend a few days of free and easy life before my big brother comes.
