Chapter 118 Gift
Qian Jingsheng cleaned up the messed up things and then started thinking.
I really couldn’t go out empty-handed, so I stood there for a moment and then went out.
He and Xiao Huang took a bus to the city and walked around the supply and marketing cooperative several times. Xiao Huang thought he knew what each position was, but Captain Qian was still not sure.
He asked Xiao Huang, "If you had a sister whose birthday was coming up, what gift would you give her?"
Xiao Huang scratched his head, "My sister likes food. She likes anything that is food."
"How old is your sister?"
Xiao Huang grinned, "Three years old! My youngest sister, the sixth, is three years old this year, and the rest of our family are sons!"
Qian Jingsheng: ...
"It's about teenage girls."
Xiao Huang replied seriously, "I don't have a teenage sister."
Qian Jingsheng: ...
"Forget it, I'll make a phone call first. Go buy your sister some food and send it back."
Xiao Huang was a little confused, but since the battalion commander had given the order, he just followed it. Then he happily went to buy food for his sister.
Gu Nuanying was chatting with her mother at home when the phone rang.
She made an appointment with her classmates to go out for a walk today, and like a little butterfly, she flew over to answer the phone.
"Hello? Xiao Min?"
"It's me."
"Brother, you haven't called me in a long time. Aren't you busy lately? You finally remembered that you have a sister like me, right? I've been waiting for your call for a long time. I said I wanted to call you, but Dad said you were busy and asked us not to disturb you..."
After answering the phone, he started talking non-stop.
After she finally finished speaking, Qian Jingsheng asked, "Are you and Mom okay at home?"
Gu Nuanying, "We are fine. By the way, brother, why did you bother to call us today?"
Qian Yurong, who was drinking tea, heard that it was that brat calling, so she immediately stopped drinking tea and looked over.
Then I heard a male voice coming from the microphone, "I just happened to have some free time to go shopping. What does my sister like?"
Gu Nuanying thought that her brother finally had a change of heart and would give her gifts instead of just money, so she happily hugged a lot of things.
"I like the new Qin watch, the white one. It's perfect with a skirt in the summer. And, there's that new pleated skirt from Haicheng, but I don't think you have that over there, right?"
Qian Jingsheng nodded.
"Give my regards to Mom, and if nothing else, I'll hang up."
Qian Yurong looked at the hung up phone and sighed helplessly, "It's true that you can't keep your son when he grows up."
Gu Nuanying didn't understand why her mother sighed, "Is it because my brother didn't buy her a gift?"
Qian Yurong smiled but said nothing.
Doesn't his mother know what her son is like? Aside from the Lunar New Year holidays, her son has never called home. This is the first time he's asked his sister what she likes.
Abnormal.
After Qian Jingsheng hung up the phone, he returned to the supply and marketing cooperative, walked to the watch counter, and saw a white watch at first sight.
"I want this one. Please wrap it up for me and give it to someone else." He handed the ticket and money to the salesperson.
The saleswoman smiled brightly as she wrapped the bags, saying, "Is this for your significant other? Your significant other is truly blessed. This is a new style that just arrived in Haicheng. Girls these days all like this. It's much prettier than the regular silver."
Qian Jingsheng explained, "It's for...my sister, not a partner."
The salesperson had an expression on his face that I understood, and he very carefully packed the product into a box and wrapped it nicely.
Qian Jingsheng was waiting for Xiao Huang at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative when a girl in a goose yellow dress happened to walk over.
"Oh, sorry, I got your shoes dirty."
Then she glanced at Qian Jingsheng shyly and said, "I'm sorry, why don't you come to my house and I'll clean your shoes for you!"
Wen Manman looked at the handsome young man in front of her who was standing straight and wearing a military uniform, and couldn't help but make a suggestion.
Her father once said that a girl who marries well is reborn. He also promised her that he would find her a suitable husband after she graduated from high school. But who knew if he would find a fat, ugly idiot? This guy was simply too striking. He was instantly attractive.
Although she is not very old, she has been influenced by her father since she was a child, so she naturally knows how to think and plan for herself.
But Qian Jingsheng directly refused, "No need. I can clean it myself when I get home."
I just happened to see Xiao Huang coming out after shopping, so I left quickly.
"Hey, you haven't told me your name yet!"
When Qian Jingsheng heard Wen Manman's voice, he walked away faster.
After delivering the items, I bought some fruits and snacks. It was already noon when I got home.
Jiang Qin just sent Wen Zhu over to ask them to have dinner.
A few people took their things and went over.
The master was sitting in the main hall, taking out a notebook and handing it to Wen Zhu. "This is something that is worth a fortune, most people wouldn't even look at it. But, it's because my little disciple is so filial that he sends me delicious food every day. Otherwise, I wouldn't be willing to give it to him."
Wen Zhu took it, held it carefully, and thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you, Master!"
"Also, this is an imported item that requires foreign exchange coupons. It's a skirt made of some foreign material. It's a gift from your senior brother. This Chinese medicine tool kit was specially made for you by your second senior brother. And this rare medicinal herb was found for you by your third senior brother.
These should have been given to you when you became my disciple, but it was too far away. Now that they have been delivered to you, I will use them as a birthday gift for you.
But don't worry, next time I catch them, I'll let them give you a birthday gift."
Wen Zhu looked at the pile of things, feeling a little embarrassed, and waved his hands repeatedly, "It's just a birthday, there's no need to spend so much money."
But the master forced it upon her, "I've been collecting them. Their talents are a little lacking, but they're not short of money and materials. That's the only good thing. If you need any herbs in the future, just ask Senior Brother. Otherwise, what's the point of calling him Senior Brother?"
Wen Zhu had no choice but to accept them one by one.
"This gift from my three senior brothers is too generous. I'm afraid I can't bear it. How about I give them something in return?"
Old Man Wen waved his hand and said, "They don't need anything. If you really want to excuse me, please send each of them some of the ointment you made for cervical pain."
Wen Zhu asked, "Compared to the gifts from my senior brothers, aren't these things too light?"
The master sipped his tea and snorted, "How can a senior brother wait eagerly for a junior sister to return the favor? Just give them some as a token of your appreciation. The ointment is also a good thing. If you're willing to give it to them, just be happy!"
Since the master said so, Wen Zhu had no choice but to do as he was told. He thought to himself that when the time comes, he would send some of the dried meat made by his mother and the local specialties over.
Jiang Jianye just came back with Wen Hong and called out to Wen Zhu, "Xiao Zhu, come and see, the gift your second brother sent you has arrived."
Wen Zhu took the package and opened it. Inside was a white watch made in Haicheng.
"Try it quickly."
Jiang Qin also came over after cooking the dishes and asked Wen Zhu to try them on.
Wen Zhu was also very happy. He picked it up and put it on his hand, turning it around to look at it. It was neither too big nor too small, just the right size.
"My second brother is so kind. Even after he went to the army, he still remembered to buy me a gift. I have wanted a watch for a long time, but unfortunately I don't have an industrial ticket. Now it is more convenient to check the time when doing the test paper. I must write back to my second brother to praise him!"
"That's right. He didn't even consider who he was buying it for. That guy has good taste and chose a good watch." Wen Hong nodded.
Qian Xusen gave Wen Zhu a music box he had bought, scratching his head a little embarrassedly. "I've spent all my pocket money, and this is all I have left!"
"No need to send it. I just asked you to come over for a simple meal. How can I ask you to spend money?"
Qian Jingsheng looked at the watch on Wen Zhu's wrist, and silently pulled out the hand holding the small box from his pocket.
