Chapter 121 Jiang Feiyan's 17th Birthday
Soon, it was New Year's Day, 1974.
Today is Jiang Feiyan's 17th birthday.
Since everyone was taking a break, they all gathered at the cabin at the foot of the mountain to celebrate her birthday.
Zhou Linghui, Li Xiaoqing, and Lin Dacheng came from the neighboring village early in the morning.
Zhou Linghui handed her a small gift box, her eyes shining brightly, and said, "Yanzi, this is a gift for you. Happy birthday!"
Jiang Feiyan smiled and accepted the gift, opening the box to find a lipstick inside.
It was a style they saw at a department store when they went to the county town to watch a movie a while ago. It seems this girl had it all planned out long ago.
Jiang Feiyan: "Thank you, Sister Linghui, I really like it."
Although she has a lot of cosmetics and other items in her online space, she naturally prefers the gifts from her friends.
Lipsticks are expensive these days. This one seems to be imported from Hong Kong, and it costs several dollars more.
Li Xiaoqing held a pair of red cotton gloves in her hand and said, "Feiyan, these are gloves I knitted for you myself. I hope you won't mind them."
"Not at all," Jiang Feiyan replied with a smile, trying on the gloves. "I was just about to need a pair of hand-warming gloves, these are great, thank you~"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoqing smiled happily.
Lin Dacheng held a pheasant flapping in his hand and said in a simple and honest manner, "I caught this in the mountains yesterday, and it's a good extra treat for everyone."
Jiang Feiyan smiled and nodded: "Sure, we have meat and vegetables today."
Zhou Linghui blushed and glanced at Lin Dacheng.
She had just mentioned to him a couple of days ago that she wanted to eat chicken legs, and she didn't expect him to catch a pheasant so quickly.
After a while, Wu Qi also came over.
He held a beautiful box in his hands and said with a smile, "These are pastries that my family recently sent from Beijing. I don't like these, so I'm giving them to you."
Jiang Feiyan clapped her hands and laughed, "Perfect, now we have dessert after dinner!"
Teacher Gu Hong and Aunt Huang Yuan did not come over, after all, their identities are somewhat special, and it is not appropriate for them to have contact with others during the day.
Jiang Feiyan planned to bring them some delicious food after it got a little dark in the evening.
The couple gave her the gift last night while she was studying there.
Teacher Gu gave her a book full of hand-drawn airplane design drawings.
The patterns inside are exquisite, and the explanations are detailed; it's clear that a lot of thought and effort went into making it.
Jiang Feiyan was overjoyed to receive it and immediately spent half the night reading it.
If it weren't for having to entertain everyone today, she would be too tired to get out of bed.
Aunt Huang gave me a pair of jade bracelets, which were passed down from her great-grandmother and were hidden in a very secret place so they were not discovered.
She originally planned to give embroidery or something similar, since that was the only presentable gift she had.
But during a casual conversation, she learned that Feiyan liked gold and silver jewelry, so she immediately took out her most treasured possessions.
If all sixteen pieces of her dowry are still there, they can be given to Jiang Yatou when she gets married.
Unfortunately... they were all either stolen or destroyed...
Around noon, Jiang Xun rushed over from the town.
His arrival made the others in the cabin at the foot of the mountain a little reserved.
There's no way around it, this person is just too exquisitely handsome, like an immortal being, I always feel unable to let my guard down in front of him.
In the kitchen, Zhou Linghui curiously approached Jiang Feiyan and whispered:
"Yanzi, when did you become so close to this Dr. Jiang? He even came to your birthday party."
Jiang Feiyan was cooking when she paused and said, "I've had a lot of contact with them before, partly because I was investigating cases and working in town."
Li Xiaoqing was helping to stoke the fire at the stove when she said with a gossipy smile:
"Why do I feel like Dr. Jiang's gaze towards Fei Yan is a bit off? It feels so gentle and tender."
Jiang Feiyan's lips twitched: ...That's quite a keen eye.
"Yanzi, are you hiding something from us?" Zhou Linghui noticed something was off about her expression.
Normally, when talking about gay men like Wu Qi or Lin Dacheng, Xiao Feiyan would appear indifferent.
But this Dr. Jiang seems different; when Xiao Feiyan spoke to him just now, her eyes darted away for a moment.
"Cough...cough..." Jiang Feiyan was stir-frying spicy chicken pieces and was feeling a bit choked by the smell. Upon hearing this, she coughed several times.
Seeing this, Zhou Linghui's eyes lit up, and she chuckled, "Hehe, I know, isn't that right...?"
“Yes.” Jiang Feiyan interrupted her and replied directly, “He is pursuing me, and I am still considering it.”
She didn't want to tell them so soon, feeling that it would be pointless to talk about something that hadn't been resolved yet.
But now that I think about it, there wasn't anything wrong with saying it in advance.
These two girls are very gossipy; if she doesn't tell them, they'll keep pestering her with questions.
"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Zhou Linghui and Li Xiaoqing were both dumbfounded.
Zhou Linghui: ...She was just joking, I didn't expect it to actually be true?
Li Xiaoqing: ...My god, Feiyan is amazing! She can even win over such a cold and aloof person!
Li Xiaoqing asked curiously, "Feiyan, why don't you agree? Don't you like Dr. Jiang?"
Logically, that shouldn't be the case. He's so handsome and has such a great job; any girl would be tempted by him.
"I can't say whether I like him or not, I just have a bit of a crush on him." Jiang Feiyan: "I'm only 17 years old, it's still early. He promised to wait for me for a year, we'll see after that."
Zhou Linghui said in a serious tone, "That's right, we girls should be reserved like this!"
With Yanzi being so outstanding, what kind of man wouldn't she meet!
Jiang Feiyan smiled and glanced at her: "Sister Linghui, what you're saying doesn't really apply to you."
Zhou Linghui scratched her head awkwardly: "Oh dear, you know I'm impulsive."
I finally met someone who truly cares for me, and I like him, so...hehe, let's be together!
She used to have poor taste and fell for someone like Xiao Feng, but now that Da Cheng is treating her so well, she has to seize the opportunity.
Jiang Feiyan sighed, "What you said isn't wrong."
Sometimes she even envied Linghui's simple and innocent nature.
This guy is someone whose emotions come and go quickly; he's kind, passionate, and capable of both love and hate.
Living a simple and happy life is good.
Of course, the premise is that you don't do anything stupid, cough cough...
