Chapter 449 Is this gift too expensive?

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Xiaoxi called Bai Yuanyu in the group and asked him to come for dinner at five thirty in the evening, saying that Yu Chengshuang and Yu Chengyan had already arrived.

Bai Yuanyu immediately responded, "Those two guys actually went out to have lunch without calling me. I'll be there soon."

So, in just 20 minutes, Bai Yuanyu appeared at the gate of the family compound with a lot of bags. Yu Chengyan and Lu Jiansen went out to pick him up.

Bai Yuanyu didn't know that Xiaoxi was married. When he suddenly saw Lu Jiansen and knew the relationship between him and Xiaoxi, he was shocked.

"Isn't it too early for you to get married here?"

There, no one gets married at the age of 20.

Lu Jiansen said calmly: "If you don't seize the opportunity when you meet the right person, you will miss it! This age is just right!"

He even felt that he met Xiaoxi too late, and he should have married her when she was just eighteen years old and came of age.

Bai Yuanyu looked Lu Jiansen up and down and nodded, "That's right, you have good taste. If it's any later, you might not have a chance. Since you married her, you have to take good care of her and treat her well."

"Yes, I will. Please take good care of her when you are on the mission!" Lu Jiansen also reminded.

"That's right. Don't worry about that."

The three men walked the distance from the outside of the family yard to the home, observing each other all the time. By the time they got home, the atmosphere between them had become as natural as that of friends.

Gu Xiaoxi saw Bai Yuanyu carrying a lot of things when he came over, and asked in confusion: "Are you giving me a gift?"

Bai Yuanyu laughed, "I can't come empty-handed when I visit for the first time, right?"

Yu Chengyan suddenly felt that he was being implicated, because he only brought one person with him!

No, he needs some gifts too!

It was all his brother's fault, saying that many of the things they had were not convenient to use at Xiaoxi's house and were not practical, and that he would give them to Xiaoxi when he found something good later.

"What did you bring?" Yu Chengyan stared curiously at the bags in Bai Yuanyu's hands.

Bai Yuanyu laughed, then took out five rolls of light-colored technical fabric from a bag. "It's okay for a girl to make a few more clothes, right?"

Yu Chengyan nodded, "No problem!"

Why didn't he think of that!

Bai Yuanyu took out another bag of sparkling diamonds from another bag. "Although these diamond crystals are not worth much, girls can use them as jewelry. Look, there are red, pink, blue, and green ones. They are so beautiful!"

Gu Xiaoxi took a look and was stunned. "You gave me so many diamonds! Isn't this gift too expensive?"

Bai Yuanyu shook his head. "This is not worth much in our place. My mother likes to use this kind of thing as jewelry. I think you will like it too."

Gu Xiaoxi took a deep breath and said, "I really like it!"

Such an expensive item, and it comes in a big bag, who wouldn’t like it!

"Sister Xiaoxi, I also caught you a turkey raised in the research institute. See if you can kill it and eat it tonight." Bai Yuanyu opened another bag, and inside was a big rooster that was tied up very tightly.

Gu Xiaoxi was surprised again, "This chicken is so big! It's twice as big as the roosters we have here."

"Let me kill it!" Lu Jiansen went into the kitchen carrying the rooster.

"Sister Xiaoxi, here are some strong leeks cultivated by the research institute. See if you can make them into a dish."

Gu Xiaoxi took a look and found that the package really contained a bag of green leeks, but the leeks were taller and greener than the leeks here.

She took the leeks and handed them to Lu Jiansen in the kitchen. She prepared a fruit platter for Bai Yuanyu and Yu Chengyan and asked them to sit outside to eat.

When she was free, Gu Xiaoxi told Lu Jiansen that Mr. Qi had transferred the house to her and that she was renovating the house.

After hearing this, Lu Jiansen just turned his head and kissed her little face, "We'll compensate Qi Shuangshuang and Si Nanyu later."

"Yeah, that's what I thought."

As the two talked, they prepared the dishes for dinner, then sat outside to talk with Bai Yuanyu and the others.

At five o'clock, Li Guifen came over with a covered basket and said mysteriously, "Xiaoxi sister, these are the big crabs I asked my brothers to save for you. You can have them as an extra dish for dinner."

Gu Xiaoxi took one look and thanked her repeatedly: "Sister-in-law, thank you so much! I was just thinking of going to your house to give you mooncakes later!"

As she spoke, she hurried into the kitchen and brought out a box of mooncakes and a bowl of fried meatballs.

"Sister-in-law, I made the mooncakes and meatballs myself. You can try them. And the fertilizer in the yard, I also bought it. Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, so I will let you come and get it tomorrow."

When Li Guifen heard this, she smiled and said, "Whatever you want, I'll ask them to come and get it tomorrow."

After saying this, she hurriedly took the gifts sent by Gu Xiaoxi to inform other military wives.

Not long after, more than a dozen military wives came home to collect fertilizer.

No one came empty-handed. Some brought some dishes, some brought some snacks. They were very polite.

When carrying the fertilizer, he did not forget to thank Gu Xiaoxi and gave him money.

After they left, Gu Xiaoxi found that there were really too many vegetables at home.

So she simply added a few vegetarian dishes to the evening menu.

Lu Jiansen was afraid that the ten big crabs would die, so he just made spicy crabs and steamed five more.

Dinner was ready. Gu Xiaoxi prepared three boxes separately, each of which contained ten dishes, as well as two boxes of moon cakes, a small pot of osmanthus wine, two grapefruits, and a box of mixed fruits. She sent three cosmic express packages directly to the captains Di Lanhu, Mu Li, and Yu Yan who were unable to visit her home for the time being.

When they were getting ready to have dinner, Yu Chengshuang also came back.

Seeing the rich dishes on the table, he rubbed his stomach and said, "I just ate a little with grandpa, and now I'm a little full. Sister Xiaoxi, you prepared too much."

"Are my grandpa, my parents, and my aunt okay?" asked Gu Xiaoxi.

Yu Chengshuang nodded, "Everything is fine. Aunt Yilan is in a relatively stable condition. Old man Gu's leg was really broken, and old lady Gu even went to your grandpa's place to make trouble, saying that they needed to pay for the medical expenses and maintenance."

Gu Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment, "Did my dad give it to me?"

"No. Your father said that the money was used up when he moved to a new house, so he had no money left. Later I heard that they suddenly had money again the next day, and they stopped making trouble. Your grandfather asked someone and he said that someone at the post office sent them money."

"That Xie Zhu is so generous!" Gu Xiaoxi was really surprised.

The money is sent so frequently, won't Mr. Xie have any objections?
