The crickets are chirping and the evening breeze is calm.

The summer night breeze blew across his cheeks, and Fu Xiao felt a little cool.

Shen Xingzhou came over from behind, hugged her waist, and said with a smile: "Your mosquito coil is really effective, Xiaoxiao, can it produce mass production?"

"I'll get you two boxes tomorrow. You can just put them in the store and sell them. Mass production is not realistic. We don't have machines. It's all done by hand, which is too troublesome."

He put his head in the crook of her neck and said, "Then I won't sell it. Don't bother with it anymore."

Fu Xiao looked back at him, "Your birthday is coming soon, do you want any gift?"

Shen Xingzhou pondered for a few seconds, then held her to sit on his lap, looking at her with nostalgia, "Last year's birthday gift was very good, I liked it very much..."

"Go..." She glared at him in reproach, "You wish..."

Last time it was his birthday, she really couldn't think of what gift to give him, so she imitated later generations and gave him a gift for herself.

Shen Xingzhou still gets excited when he thinks of her charm and boldness at that time.

At that time, they were not married yet, and he did not take the final step, but it really stimulated him and he almost lost face.

Another year passed, and the two had become husband and wife and had done more intimate things.

But he would still think of her at that time, and the throbbing in his heart at that time.

Shen Xingzhou hugged her tightly and said gently: "You spending a day with me that day was the best gift for me. I don't need anything else..."

Fu Xiao leaned lazily in his arms, "Mom said she would cook a table of dishes that day, and the whole family would get together. Can I accompany you in the evening?"

"Yeah, okay..."

He lowered his head and chuckled: "It's still early, it's still July, why are you telling mom about my birthday now?"

It wasn't something she said on her own initiative. Last time she had her birthday, Fu Jingshu asked about Shen Xingzhou's birthday, and she wrote it down.

I reminded her of this the last time I went home.

Fu Xiao pouted: "Mom is so good to you. She reminded me just in case I forgot."

Shen Xingzhou curled his lips, and a warm feeling rose in his heart, “Yeah,”

"I'm sleepy..."

"Then go back to sleep," he picked her up by the waist and walked into the room.

The two of them lay on the bed, and Fu Xiao murmured before going to sleep: "I have to go to the pharmaceutical factory tomorrow...you take me there."

"Okay..." Shen Xingzhou patted her gently, closed his eyes while listening to her shallow breathing.

....

The next day, Fu Xiao, who had been busy all day at the pharmaceutical factory, walked out of the gate with the person in charge seeing him off.

"Director Lin, please stay. You don't have to see me off."

The man called Director Lin smiled and said, "I'll take care of you for a day, but I'll have to take you home anyway."

Fu Xiao pointed to where Shen Xingzhou parked his car, “Someone is picking me up,”

"Oh, okay. Take your time. This is a little gift for you..."

Without waiting for her to refuse, the man stuffed the gift box into her hands and turned to walk into the factory.

Shen Xingzhou got out of the car and came over, took the thing in her hand, felt the weight, and sneered: “What is this?”

Fu Xiao said calmly: "Let's talk about it when we get back."

She opened the gift box when she got in the car. Chen Xingzhou raised his eyebrows and looked at the gold bars. "This belongs to...Xinghui, right?"

"What happened at the pharmaceutical factory? Why did he give you this?"

Fu Xiao shook his head, "I don't know."

"Should I check?"

She chuckled: "Just report this thing, and let the higher-ups check what happened."

Shen Xingzhou was silent, "Let's go back to the compound tonight and ask Grandpa and Dad,"

"If there is anything to ask, I will definitely report it."

He stretched out a hand and squeezed her palm. "Well, reporting it is one thing, but if there is any inside information at the pharmaceutical factory, it should not be hidden from Dad and the others. You can go back and ask them."

Fu Xiao nodded, "Okay then."

"I'll buy a roast duck when I pass by,"

“Okay…” Shen Xingzhou patted her hand lightly, held the steering wheel and turned half a circle, and after turning, he squeezed her hand again, “What else do you want to eat besides roast duck?”

She shook her head. "No need for anything else. Mom will get angry if I bring too much."

Passing by a roast duck restaurant, he stopped the car and unbuckled his seat belt, "Wait here obediently, I'll go buy it."

"Uh-huh,"

Shen Xingzhou opened the car door while holding the roast duck and handed Fu Xiao a candied haws.

"Where did you buy it?"

"Next to the roast duck restaurant,"

He glanced at her and warned her, "I'm driving. Be careful when you eat. Don't prick your mouth."

"Yeah, got it."

When we returned to the compound, the Mu family was having dinner.

Fu Jingshu stood up and smiled, "Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

"Shao Yu, go to the kitchen and get two more pairs of chopsticks,"

Shen Xingzhou followed him into the kitchen, processed the roast duck, and brought it out on a plate.

"You two are really something. I've told you so many times not to bring anything home. We have everything we need at home," Old Master Mu stared at her and scolded her.

Fu Xiao smiled coquettishly: "Grandpa, I just wanted to eat this myself."

"Well, don't buy it in the future. The duck they make is not as delicious as the one your mother roasts."

She looked at Fu Jingshu, "Mom, are you still making roast duck?"

Fu Jingshu smiled awkwardly, "I followed the neighbor's wife Zhai to make this yesterday. I didn't expect it to be so delicious."

"I haven't even tasted it," she pouted unhappily, "next time I buy duck, you can cook it for me."

"This is the first time Mom made this. I didn’t know if it would be delicious, so I didn’t call you back. I will definitely make it especially for you next time..." Fu Jingshu picked up some food for her to coax her.
