Chapter 271 Looking at Gifts
"Yes, the attic is usually used by a single person or for small family gatherings, and the courtyard is the choice for slightly larger family gatherings. Part of the house is where our staff stays."
The service here is provided 24 hours a day. They work in shifts and stay in the dormitory at night.
"Then they can't see the plum blossoms?"
“We will provide vases and guests can enter the Merlin to view it.”
The flowers in the vases are all cut and arranged by the hired florists. But there are always customers who are not satisfied. Therefore, for the customers who book the courtyard, they have an additional item to enter the plum garden. As long as the guests are willing to spend money, they can pick flowers and arrange flowers on the spot in the plum garden. Booking the entire courtyard is already a big deal. The guests are also willful to give money to let them cheat, ugh, make money, so they will half-heartedly let the guests do as they wish. The boss can be irritated with anything but money.
Before the waitress came, she was told by her supervisor that this family was a friend of the boss and a shareholder. The waitress was afraid that she would be fired tomorrow for cheating her family. So she added, "The free plum blossoms are actually very beautiful, but some guests with higher aesthetic requirements may find them ugly."
As long as the guests are not looking for trouble or pretending to be cool, they will accept the plum blossoms they give them.
Su Yu walked around the third floor, looking at the scenery in all directions, before returning to the second floor.
"Mom, take off your clothes!"
"good!"
Ji Yan took off Su Yu's coat and continued playing mahjong.
The waiter was sent away, and Su Xi sat on the sofa with a cup of tea, looking at the scenery outside the window.
Su Yu came over and asked, "Uncle, why don't you go play mahjong?"
"Bad luck."
After playing five games and losing all five, Su Xi thought that he had no destiny with mahjong.
"oh!"
[It would be great if Uncle played Mahjong with someone he didn’t like. I could go with them and let Oolongcha look at their cards. I would secretly help Uncle. We would be unbeatable at the table!]
Su Xi was a little moved, but not much.
Ji Tianlin was very moved, but was kicked.
As soon as Xu Mingyue heard Su Yu's thoughts, she knew what Ji Tianlin was thinking, and gave the inexperienced but playful Ji Tianlin a hard kick.
Everyone knows his level of ability. Does he want to expose Su Yu's abnormality?
Su Yi was as quiet as a chicken, trying his best to reduce his presence, for fear that Su Yu would remember him and use him as a test subject.
Yang Zhichun and Ji Yan just treated this thing as a toy to kill time and didn't think much of it.
…
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Su Yu washed up and went to the restaurant to eat.
"Good morning, Grandma and Grandpa!"
"Good morning, baby!"
"Good morning, Xiaoyu!"
Xu Mingyue had just finished breakfast when she saw Su Yu skipping towards her. She was reluctant to let her go, so she carried her to a chair and watched her eat.
After Su Yu finished eating half of his meal, he tilted his head and looked at Xu Mingyue, "Grandma, why are you up so early today?"
"Grandma is going back to Xu's house today to wish Mom and Dad a happy new year!"
"I want to go too. I've also chosen gifts for my great-grandma, great-grandpa, uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters, and younger brothers and sisters!"
"Really? Baby, can you take me there to see it later?"
"good!"
Su Yu quickly finished her meal and took Xu Mingyue to see the gift she had chosen. Ji Tianlin had nothing to do, so he also went with them.
Xu Mingyue asked Ji Tianlin to record this scene and show it to her parents. The child's choice may not be appropriate, but it is also a token of his thoughtfulness.
Su Yu pointed to a colorful painting of spring scenery that the housekeeper had taken out and said, "This is for my great-grandfather!"
Su Yu pointed to a set of Go next to her and said, "The housekeeper said that this Go feels warm to the touch, so I can give it to my great-grandmother!"
Su Yu remembered that Gu Yang loved playing Go.
After closing the box containing the Go, Su Yu opened another large box, which was divided into two halves. "The peanuts are for my uncles and brothers. I wish them good things in the new year! The Ruyi are for my aunts and sisters. I wish them all the best in the new year!"
Both Peanut and Ruyi are small and cute, finely carved and very delicate. They are placed in a small sachet bag. Xu Mingyue is familiar with jewelry and can tell at a glance that these are all pure gold.
This is really too expensive!
If Su Yu gave one copy and Ji Yan also gave one copy, would the Su family have any objections?
Su Yu didn't know what Xu Mingyue was struggling with. She closed this box and opened the big box for her brothers and sisters. "These are all pearls for my brothers and sisters. I wish my brothers and sisters a new year that will shine like pearls!"
Unlike the antique-style sachets that contained the gold peanuts and gold ruyi, the bag that contained the pearls was in the shape of a cute cartoon apple. Through the transparent bag with red edges, they could see a beautiful white pearl lying quietly on the flannel.
"Baby, these gifts are too expensive!"
"But this is for my family, the first year my mom has been home!"
Su Yu knew that it was expensive, but Ji Yan had been separated from the Xu family for more than 20 years and had not grown up there since childhood. Ji Yan's identity as a female star had nothing to do with the Xu family. Su Yu hoped to tie Ji Yan firmly to the big tree of the Xu family. Therefore, she thought of giving gifts. Expensive gifts would give everyone a feeling that Ji Yan valued them.
The Xu family has a good family tradition. If they truly accept Ji Yan, they will protect her like their own family. For Su Yu, this kind of protection is more important than the money.
Xu Mingyue's lips trembled and she didn't dare to agree.
Ji Tianlin put down the phone he was recording on, hugged Xu Mingyue, and comforted her silently.
They also received gifts from Su Yu yesterday. Xu Mingyue received a bracelet made of warm jade, and Ji Tianlin received a pair of jade cufflinks.
"Grandma, why are you crying?"
"Grandma is fine, she's just too moved!"
Su Yu ran upstairs and knocked on Ji Yan's door, "Mom, grandma is crying!"
Su Yi quickly opened the door and let Ji Yan go down. Su Yu, who was a little flustered, ran upstairs to find Su Xi.
"Uncle, grandma is crying."
Su Xi, who was wearing pajamas, looked at Su Yu, whose hands and feet were not coordinated, and asked, "Why are you crying?"
"have no idea!"
[I told her about the gifts for my great-grandma, great-grandpa, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, and my younger brothers and sisters, and she started crying! ]
Su Yu also wanted to go and comfort people, but for some reason, her first reaction was to go find her mother, and then her uncle.
Su Xi was not good at comforting people. "Go find your great-grandmother."
“Okay!”
Su Yu continued to climb the stairs, "Grandma, grandma, grandma is crying!"
Yang Zhichun, who was dressed neatly, opened the door and said, "Okay, grandma is here."
Yang Zhichun pressed the elevator button and went down. Su Yu returned to the third floor and squatted at the door of Su Xi's room like a little mushroom.
[Host, why don't you go down? ]
[I don’t know. I feel weird.]
At this moment, Su Yu seemed to be split into two people. One of them was feeling indescribably complicated, while the other was rationally calculating how to make his mother integrate into the Xu family as quickly as possible!
Su Xi opened the door, saw the mushroom, and picked it up. "Have you had breakfast?"
"Eat!"
"Well, when you go to Xu's house, follow the adults and don't leave with people you don't know."
Those who visit the Xu family on the second day of the Chinese New Year are not necessarily members of the Xu family. There are always ignorant people who take advantage of their status to mess around in the Xu family. Su Xi is worried about Su Yu's safety.
"Uncle, aren't you going?"
"No, I'm going to the Su family's party with your great-grandmother."
Most of the Su family's property is concentrated in Su Xi's hands, and a small part is currently under the names of Yang Zhichun and Ji Yan. A small part of the industry is registered under the name of the Su family's fund as the expenses of raising orphans in the family. There are not many outstanding businessmen among the Su family members. But there are also outstanding members of the Su family who work in other industries. Su Xi is after the resources in their hands, and those members are after the money given by Su Xi. The same surname and the meager blood relationship are the ties between them. On the second day of the Chinese New Year every year, the Su family will hold a gathering to exchange information and resources.
"The Su family's party? My parents and I are not going?"
"You don't have to go."
The second day of the Lunar New Year was the time set by Su Xi after he came to power. Only Yang Zhichun and him were at home. After the second day of the Lunar New Year, Yang Zhichun could still chat with the daughter-in-law who had married back from the Su family. That was the time of the year when she felt least lonely.
But this year is different. Yang Zhichun went there and saw that it was lively, and he could come back and share the stories of the two families with Xu Mingyue.
“Okay!”
[Oolong tea, can you follow my uncle? I always feel that there are not many good people in the Su family! ]
After Su Yu returned to the Su family, she didn't see many people visiting her, let alone giving her gifts. But she received a lot of gifts at the Xu family!
【Can!】
Oolong tea had seen the Xu family's gatherings, which were quite humane and each one was more enthusiastic than the last, but it had never seen the Su family's gatherings, which were rather calculating. It was very interested.
【Thank you!】
【You are welcome!】
Su Xi touched Su Yu's big head and asked, "Do you still want to eat?"
"No, I'm not hungry!"
【There will definitely be a lot of delicious food when you go to Xu's house! 】
Xu Mingyue, who had already been coaxed by Ji Yan and Yang Zhichun, burst into tears again when she heard these words.
Su Yu was unaware of what was happening in the living room. She sat in her special chair and stared at Su Xi eating breakfast.
[Why does uncle always eat bread? Well, coffee is replaced with milk, not bad! ]
Su Xi: ...carrying Su Yu down might have been a wrong decision.
"You're going to wear this to visit someone?"
Su Yu raised her hand, "Very cute!"
Su Yu was wearing a bear overalls suit with a big red apple pocket in the middle. She chose it specifically so that adults could quickly give her red envelopes!
“Not festive enough! The colors are a bit tacky!”
Su Yu is cute, and she looks cute in this dress, but Su Xi doesn't want to be nagged by Su Yu, so he tries to find fault with her.
"Then I'll go up and change it!"
Su Yu thought, "I don't have enough clothes with big pockets!"
Su Yu rummaged through her clothes in her mind and went upstairs to look through her closet.
Su Yi heaved a sigh of relief and sat down at the dining table. "Brother, why does she want a big one?"
"Give out red envelopes."
Su Yi frowned slightly, "Can't you just leave it to us?"
