Chapter 505: Reciprocity
Although Gu Jingmo was forced to accept by Lin Yuzhu, he always felt a little embarrassed. After returning home, he told Zhou Yilan and the old couple of the Zhou family.
Zhou Yilan thought for a while and said: "Since you want it, then wait for your Aunt Lin to buy it for you and then keep it. This thing should be hard to buy in China. She has foreign exchange coupons, so it is convenient to buy it at the Friendship Store.
Don't feel embarrassed, our two families are close, and mom can just buy something else for Shuyao in the future."
Mrs. Zhou, who was standing by, also said, "I still have some jewelry that I wore when I was young. I'll give some to Shuyao when the time comes."
"No thanks, Mom."
Zhou Yilan refused immediately after hearing this. "Just keep those jewelry. Giving them to a little girl like Shuyao is too expensive. Yuzhu will definitely not let you accept them. I will just buy her some things that children like."
Mr. Zhou at the side also said: "I have a few inkstones that are also good. Next time Shuyao comes to learn painting, I can give her one."
“Really not necessary!”
Zhou Yilan sighed, "You two old men should not make such a big deal out of this. This is too polite and will easily make Yuzhu and the others think too much.
I've already thought about it. Recently, a kind of puffy skirt is popular in Shanghai and girls like it very much. I can ask my friends to help buy a few pieces for Shuyao. "
Mrs. Zhou was a little hesitant after hearing this. "They are just a few pieces of clothing. The price shouldn't be as expensive as that little radio, right?"
"No need to calculate so clearly, as long as our intentions are there, it's fine. And that's imported, so it's not cheap. I'll buy a few more, and the total price will be about the same, so there's no need to feel burdened."
After hearing her say this, the old couple felt relieved. Gu Jingmo frowned and seemed to have figured something out.
After the next holiday, Lin Yuzhu took her two children to the Friendship Shopping Mall and bought the latest imported walkman and a few cassettes.
Both of them were very happy after receiving them, and within a few days, Lin Yuzhu received several very beautiful princess puffy skirts from Zhou Yilan.
Shuyao liked it very much when she saw it, and put it on despite the cold weather. She ran around in the yard and asked Zhao Yanshu to take out the camera to take a picture of her.
It was only when Lin Yuzhu saw that the night was getting colder and forced her to change quickly to avoid catching a cold that she reluctantly changed.
But he also seriously told her to keep it well and wait until summer when she would wear it.
Lin Yuzhu made the promise speechlessly.
But when she looked carefully, she realized that these skirts were all imported and must be expensive. She guessed that Zhou Yilan was returning the gift of the Walkman.
Although she felt that it was unnecessary, after all, as she said, she did give it to Gu Jingmo to thank him, but she had to admit that it was very comfortable to get along with such a family!
Of course, this is all in the past.
…
On this side, the next day after knowing that Shuyao had also received gifts, Lin Yuzhu returned to the unit with a cold face and called a meeting with her colleagues.
Soon, the Construction Bureau conveyed a message.
They would like to reiterate that no one in their unit accepts bribes and there is no so-called reserve price. If anyone harasses Construction Bureau staff or their families for this reason again, the Construction Bureau will take measures to disqualify these people from participating in the bidding.
As soon as this news came out, the previous chaos finally subsided and the Construction Bureau became quiet for a rare time.
Lin Yuzhu also breathed a sigh of relief and reflected on herself. It seemed that she still lacked experience and should have dealt with it earlier, otherwise the situation would not have been so chaotic for so long.
Even Director Liu joked when he asked her about the progress: "I heard that the Construction Bureau is very busy recently?"
