Chapter 93 Gifts
After dinner, Liu Wangxue turned on her computer to check her emails. She was shocked by the "honesty" of Du Yunkai and Xu Qingsong yesterday. She was still a little dazed when she thought about it before going to bed, so she forgot to check it.
Du Yunkai's assistant from Jingshan Technology arranged a meeting with her in the city.
Liu Wangxue regretted that she shouldn't have had such a teasing thought. She had already imagined what kind of "dead" scene would be when they met.
If these two people had hinted at the slightest intention of continuing to make "The Twenty-one Cases of Da Zhao" when they were talking about the PC game, she would not have concealed the fact that she was the original author.
If they didn't send her a message asking her to do a part-time job after the renewal, she wouldn't have thought of teasing them.
If she hadn't had the intention of teasing him, she would have been surprised at most when they met.
No, she shouldn't have mentioned the copyright fee last night. This was a big mistake! Liu Wangxue couldn't even imagine how awkward it would be when the three of them sat together.
Will Xu Qingsong and Du Yunkai be angry? Liu Wangxue thought to herself that she seemed to have accidentally become a scheming woman.
"Forget it, I am just scheming! As a member of society, everyone is scheming!" She mentally prepared herself while replying to the email, "Although I am scheming, the clues I gave you are all clear. You are the ones who misunderstood. It has nothing to do with me..."
So Liu Wangxue specifically made a request that the meeting place should allow pets.
The other side responded quickly, sent her the confirmed time and place, and asked her for another contact information. After all, the communication will be more frequent in the future, and there may be many trivial matters, so it is not convenient to use email all the time.
Liu Wangxue gave him the account of another social platform. This platform is the first choice of most working people. It has powerful storage functions and files will not expire.
Before long, the assistant and Du Yunkai both added her as their friend.
After saying hello and chatting, Liu Wangxue went to the living room to comb the fur of the three. The cat and the dog had to be combed, and the little parrot just joined in the fun, and it also had to have the treatment of the other two.
In the afternoon, Shen Nian'an came over carrying two big watermelons.
Two children followed behind, Jinghe was holding Youyou in one hand and holding a honeydew melon in the other. Youyou was also holding a bag of small tomatoes, red, yellow, black, and camouflage ones, several colors mixed together.
Gu Xuelan washed a bowl of grapes, cut some pineapples and cantaloupe, and brought them out from the kitchen. She saw the family of three and greeted them warmly, "Come in, come in. I was just talking to Xuxu, saying that Youyou and Jinghe should come over to play soon. Look, I washed some fruit for you."
Youyou and Jinghe said together: "Hello, grandma!"
"Oh, okay!" Every time Gu Xuelan heard them call her "Grandma", her heart was filled with joy.
Liu Wangxue was sitting under the grape trellis reading a book. The three were playing beside her. They came over when they heard the noise.
Youyou held up the small tomatoes like she was presenting a treasure: "Look, sister! What beautiful small tomatoes there are in so many colors! My brother and I picked them together."
Liu Wangxue cooperated and exclaimed to express his liking.
Shen Nian'an said, "They were all grown by our neighbors. I bought some and thought I'd send some to you. The two kids have been bothering you a lot during this period."
"Why are you disturbing me? I'm so happy that they're here to play. It's more lively when there are more people around." Gu Xuelan handed the fruit to Liu Wangxue and went to the kitchen with Shen Nian'an to cut watermelon.
Jinghe took the small tomato from Youyou's hand and followed the two adults.
Youyou did not forget to remind her brother: "Wash it!"
Jinghe said, “I know!”
Youyou ran happily under the grape trellis, hugged the cat on the rocking chair happily, then climbed up and squeezed together with the cat.
Liu Wangxue placed the fruit on the small table and tried to communicate with Youyou again: "Little Youzi, can we discuss something?"
Youyou, who was concentrating on petting the cat, raised her head: "What's the matter?"
Liu Wangxue said seriously: "Let's change our way of speaking and call me 'Auntie', okay?"
"Why?"
"Because... because I'm old." Liu Wangxue said.
"As old as daddy?"
"It's about the same." Liu Wangxue said, just a few years older, about the same.
"Brother also calls you sister."
That's all because of you, Liu Wangxue thought. She said, "Why don't you both change it and call me 'Auntie'?"
She really couldn't accept it. Her mother became a grandmother and she was still the older sister. Brother Shen didn't correct the child. What a huge generation gap.
Gu Xuelan and Shen Nian'an came over with watermelons, and Jinghe brought cherry tomatoes.
Shen Nian'an saw Liu Wangxue's expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I asked him to call her auntie, but he refused." Liu Wangxue said.
"But I like my sister." Youyou held the cat's face with her chubby hands, nuzzled it, and asked it, "You like your sister too, right?"
Children’s thinking is sometimes frustrating.
Gu Xuelan said, "Isn't it good to call you younger?"
Shen Nian'an smiled and said to Liu Wangxue: "It's okay, let him like it."
Okay, Liu Wangxue called Jinghe, and the two of them moved two chairs out of the sunroom.
Gu Xuelan added: "Ask Xiao Xu and Yun Kai, if they are not busy, ask them to come over." There were so many things on the table that they couldn't finish them all.
Of course Xiao Xu and Yun Kai were not busy. Within two minutes, they came over and brought a small gift for Youyou and Jinghe.
They are all simulated pendants, one blue and gold gradient parrot, one golden retriever, and two peach-faced lovebirds.
On the way to the terminal, Xu Qingsong passed by a handicraft shop and fell in love with the two at first sight. Seeing that he had bought them, Du Yunkai couldn't leave empty-handed, so he walked around the store and actually found the little parrot pendant.
The two children were so happy to receive the gifts. They compared them with the other three. Youyou said, "Brother, look, they are exactly the same!"
Du Yunkai looked at the two children and once again felt the long-lost sense of accomplishment of giving gifts, which is the true joy that comes from the heart of the person receiving the gift.
Shen Nian'an thanked them and said, "I really bought everything I needed. I don't know how many toy cats and dogs I've bought for my family, big and small."
Xu Qingsong suddenly asked Shen Nian'an: "I see that the two children like small animals so much, doesn't Brother Shen have any at home?"
Liu Wangxue also asked, "I heard from Jinghe that it seems that my sister-in-law is allergic to animal hair?"
Shen Nian'an nodded: "In fact, we both like small animals. At the beginning, we were too busy and had no time to raise one. Later, when our work became stable, we planned to raise a Border Collie, but then we had Jinghe, so the plan had to be put on hold for the time being.
After Jinghe was born, her physical condition changed a bit and she became allergic to animal hair, so she never kept a pet."
