Chapter 252 She Dare to Give It, Why Shouldn’t I Accept It?
"Thank you, I'll take it." Chu Yue answered neatly and straightforwardly, extending her hand towards Tan Siqi.
Because of Chu Yue's straightforwardness without any hesitation, Tan Siqi was stunned. Tan Siqi originally thought that he would have to spend a lot of time and effort to talk back and forth with Lu Zhanlin and Chu Yue before he could get Chu Yue to accept his apology and gift.
How come... so fast?
Chu Yue didn't hesitate at all? Wasn't she afraid that after he gave her the gifts, he would ask for more?
Tan Siqi stared at Chu Yue in a daze, his pupils full of surprise, and he didn't move for a long time.
Chu Yue raised her fair palm and moved it towards Tan Siqi, as if to say, "I want it, why don't you give it to me?"
"Ahem, Deputy Captain Tan." Lu Zhanlin coughed softly a few times to remind Tan Siqi.
After all, Lu Zhanlin is Chu Yue's husband, and he knows Chu Yue's character. Chu Yue said she would accept it, which means she was willing to accept it and would not interfere for any other reasons. In other words, she readily accepted Tan Siqi's apology.
After Tan Siqi came back to his senses, he hurriedly handed the things to Chu Yue. Because there were too many things, he handed some of the food and drinks to Lu Zhanlin, and the most important thing was the one specially prepared by Fang Xiuli, which he placed in Chu Yue's palm.
Chu Yue received it and held it in her hand.
"Comrade Chu, thank you for your magnanimity. I hope you like it."
Tan Siqi admired Chu Yue even more, and he also understood why Chu Yue had been treated so differently by everyone from the neighbor sisters-in-law, Song Hongmei, to Doctor Hao and Xu Feng within a few months of arriving in the compound.
Chu Yue is indeed an unusual girl.
As Tan Siqi said, he apologized, gave a gift, expressed his feelings, and then politely said goodbye. As for Fang Xiuli's facial paralysis, he did not mention it at all.
Lu Zhanlin and Chu Yue returned to the house with a bunch of things.
Chu Yue especially liked the two cans of yellow peaches. She patted the cans and said, "Yuan Bao hasn't tried canned yellow peaches yet, right? When he comes back from school, open a can and try it. He's sure to like it."
What attracted Chu Yue's attention the most was, of course, the carefully wrapped gift from Fang Xiuli.
Lu Zhanlin suggested, "Let's open it and take a look?"
"Of course I will."
Chu Yue nodded and reached out to touch it first.
Although she was not afraid that Fang Xiuli would cheat in such matters, it was better to be careful.
The gift was wrapped in brown paper. It was light and felt soft to the touch. I couldn't guess what was inside.
With a hissing sound, the brown paper package opened, revealing what was inside - a set of clothes.
The top is a soft apricot shirt, and the bottom is a brown A-line skirt with a waist. The skirt is calf-length, showing off the beautiful ankle lines. If this outfit is paired with a pair of leather shoes, she will definitely be the most fashionable woman in this compound.
The clothes are beautiful and exquisite, and you can tell they are brand new, with the tags still on.
Chu Yue saw the six words "Jinghua Department Store" on the sign.
Lu Zhanlin said, "Fang Xiuli just returned from the capital not long ago."
This was a reminder to Chu Yue, and Chu Yue also thought of this. When Fang Xiuli came back from the capital, she had several suitcases filled with food, clothing and daily necessities.
Beijing Department Store has released new spring clothes early, which are the most fashionable and best-looking clothes in the country. Fang Xiuli loves beauty so much that she must have carefully selected a lot of clothes and is waiting to wear them when the weather gets warmer.
Her favorite clothes, which she had never worn, were given to Chu Yue.
Chu Yue touched the fine texture of the clothes and smiled lightly, "She is willing to take out such beautiful clothes. She is really sincere."
Fang Xiuli's sincerity goes beyond this.
When Chu Yue picked up the clothes and looked carefully at the style and fabric, a small object fell from the interlayer of the clothes. After falling to the ground, it rolled around for a few times before stopping.
Lu Zhanlin bent down to pick it up and handed it to Chu Yue.
The thing was very small, not even as big as Chu Yue's palm. It was also wrapped in a layer of kraft paper, and there seemed to be words on the back of the kraft paper.
What is this?
Chu Yue carefully opened the brown paper and saw a red badge. On the badge was not only the national flag, but also a face that was very familiar to all Chinese people. It was the face of the greatest man.
From Chu Yue to Lu Zhanlin, they showed surprise when they saw the badge, and the couple subconsciously looked at each other.
This badge is not a simple thing even in modern society.
Not to mention that it was still the 1970s. If a family had such a badge, they might place it together with the ancestral tablets and worship them together.
Fang Xiuli actually gave such a big gift?
Lu Zhanlin recalled something and said, "I heard from Deputy Head Tan that when Fang Xiuli was in elementary school in Beijing, she was selected as an advanced Young Pioneer and participated in a flower-laying event. This badge was awarded to the children during that event."
In other words, this badge was awarded nearly twenty years ago by the person on the badge himself.
This is not only the meaning of the badge itself, but also has special meaning to the other party's beauty.
When Fang Xiuli came to the Southwest Military Region, she did not leave the badge at her home in Beijing, but carried it with her. It can be seen how much she cherishes this badge.
Chu Yue held the thing in her hand and suddenly felt it was heavy.
She quickly thought of the piece of brown paper with words written on it, picked it up quickly and looked at it. There were three lines of words written on it.
【Chu Yue, I'm sorry.】
【This is my most precious thing, and now I give it to you. 】
You must not lose it, keep it well and remember it.
This was indeed Fang Xiuli's tone. Even when she was apologizing, her pride was hidden between the lines.
I just don’t know if Tan Siqi knows that Fang Xiuli secretly gave away the precious badge.
Chu Yue felt that Tan Siqi didn't know, otherwise he wouldn't have said a word about such an important thing.
Since Tan Siqi didn't know, Fang Xiuli secretly put it in and gave it to Chu Yue when she was preparing clothes.
Lu Zhanlin asked, "Do you want to accept this?"
Chu Yue raised her eyes and smiled, "If she dares to give it to me, why shouldn't I dare to accept it?"
The gift is indeed valuable, but Chu Yue is not unable to pay it back.
She held the badge in her hand and said, "At worst, I can give her a gift in return tomorrow."
…
In the evening glow, elementary school students are out of school.
"Goodbye, classmates."
"Goodbye, teacher!"
As soon as the teacher on the podium walked out of the classroom, the students immediately became noisy. Some rushed out, some began to pack their bags, and some hurriedly urged the teacher to hurry.
"Yuanbao, Yuanbao, hurry up! We have to go back to see the chicks." Chen Dazhuang, with a bulging schoolbag on his back, stood beside Lu Yuanbao and reminded him anxiously, even though the school bell was still ringing.
