Of course they can accept gifts from ordinary relatives. Anyway, they will take the gifts to their homes tomorrow to take a look and return the gifts on the way.
Some of Gu Xingshu's students would come to give gifts to their teacher, and Gu Xingshu was able to entertain them at home.
But those who curry favor with their superiors and those who come to them to ask for help are the only ones who really need help and have no other options and then beg them to give it a try.
The rest of the people were basically shameless. Sometimes Ge Huiyun and her friends said that they would not accept gifts and asked them to take the gifts back, but they would not agree to do anything for them. As a result, those people just threw the gifts at their doorstep and ran away.
There was nothing Ge Huiyun and the others could do with the gifts that were thrown down. It was impossible for them to really do things for them by taking the gifts. So they had to return the gifts to them one by one.
Originally, after these incidents, those people should have been tactful and stopped coming to them, but Ge Huiyun and Gu Shuyun would help those who really needed help, which made those who were greedy and wanted to take shortcuts think that their gifts might not be enough, so they came with more precious gifts.
Later, he became angry and humiliated because Ge Huiyun and Gu Shuyun did not help them, and reported it to their unit.
Fortunately, the two of them never really said that they would use other people's money to help them do anything, and even from those people they helped, they never accepted gifts, so the matter was settled.
Tian Tian also knew about this matter. During the Chinese New Year last year, Gu Zhao went to Tian Tian's home to meet his father-in-law and mother-in-law and told Tian Tian about this matter.
Now hearing Ge Huiyun mention this again, Tian Tian shook her head and said thankfully: "Fortunately, no one came to give us gifts!"
At this time, Tian Tian was very grateful that they were both ordinary employees, there was nothing special about them, and they didn't have to face these things.
"You are still young and have just started working. No one will give you gifts. Just wait a little longer. When you become the grade leader and Gu Zhao also becomes the leader, you don't need anything else. Just be a small official. By then, a lot of people will come up to curry favor with you. But this is also human nature." Ge Huiyun said with a smile.
She has experienced too much in her life. Her career was going smoothly, her family was happy, and her son was tall, handsome and good at studying. However, a sudden change caused her family to be separated for ten years. She has seen the warmth and coldness of human nature and has a very good understanding of human nature.
Sometimes she would feel distressed or even annoyed by the endless stream of gifts every year, but she could also understand why those people did so.
Some people really want to get benefits from them, and some are originally honest people, but because of the pressure from their families, husbands, wives, or parents, they have to give gifts to their superiors as a token of their appreciation.
There are also people who see that everyone else has given gifts and feel that it would be bad if they didn't give one, so they follow the crowd and give gifts too. There are many kinds of such people.
For the latter two types of people, if you return the gifts they give them, they will just be very nervous and may even send you a more expensive gift. But if you don't return the gifts, that's not the right thing to do. There are also proper ways to return the gifts.
At the very least, you should speak nicely and explain it carefully.
However, Ge Huiyun did not plan to hand these things over to Tian Tian, because this kind of thing was not something that could be taught to Ge Huiyun, and she did not understand it before. But after experiencing all kinds of human warmth and coldness in those ten years, she gradually understood it.
These things can only be put into practice if you experience them yourself and understand them yourself. Otherwise, they are just empty talk.
Ge Huiyun only said this and nothing else. She then placed the things she had taken from home in front of Tian Tian one by one for her to see.
Tian Tian didn't care much at first. After all, the gifts given at that time were only fruits, malted milk, biscuits, candies, canned food, and nothing else.
But when she saw the gift this time, Tian Tian was really surprised.
"This is bird's nest and peach gum. I heard it's especially good for women. When you're in confinement after giving birth, ask Gu Zhao to cook you a bowl of it every day. That way your body will recover faster, and it's also nourishing. The method is also very simple. Just cook it like you're cooking sweet soup, such as pear syrup or mountain red peel water, and put the peach gum in and cook them together. After they're done, you can eat them." Ge Huiyun was worried that Tian Tian didn't recognize these things, so she introduced them to Tian Tian one by one.
"Where did these things come from?" Tian Tian asked in surprise.
They probably don't produce these things here, and the prices of these things must be extremely expensive at this time. They can't be given by those people who send gifts, right?
"I asked my friend in the south to send some to you. People say these things are good, so I bought some for you to eat." Ge Huiyun said nonchalantly.
"I heard they have a fermented rice wine there, which is very good for the body. It replenishes Qi and blood after giving birth. Women are deficient in Qi and blood. Look at me, it's been so many years since I gave birth, but my Qi and blood are still not as good as before I gave birth. I haven't recovered in all these years."
"Please, my classmate sent us the fermented rice wine. When we get back, we can drink half each to replenish our energy and blood!"
Tian Tian nodded dully after hearing this. She had heard of fermented glutinous rice before. She had read about it on the Internet and knew that fermented glutinous rice was especially good for women's bodies. There was even a window in their school that sold fermented glutinous rice balls.
In her previous life, she had bought it and tried it out of curiosity, but Tian Tian could no longer remember what it tasted like. After all, she was too far away from the time in her previous life.
"Will it cost a lot to buy so many things?" Tian Tian asked curiously, feeling a little embarrassed in her heart that all the things that Ge Huiyun bought ended up in Tian Tian's stomach.
After hearing this, Ge Huiyun became a little wary. "That's just the beginning. Don't think that you can stop drinking these things because they cost a lot. These things are good for your body. This body is for a lifetime. You can still make money in the future, right? You and Gu Zhao are still so young. You can make a lot of money in the future, but if he gets sick, he can't go back to the way he was before. Look, I've been pregnant and giving birth for many years, and Gu Zhao is already 30 years old. I feel that my health is getting worse every year."
