Chapter 410 The Gift is Eye-catching
Xie Da Jiao shook her head slightly at Hao Daer, with her hands in her pockets, waiting for the show.
Gao Xiulan jokingly said, "Guess whose family it is?"
Xie Yi shook off the water and asked, "Did anyone in our hospital win the lottery, or the grand opening prize draw at a shopping mall?"
There are actually some big supermarket owners who turned consumption coupons into lottery tickets in order to attract more customers.
The gimmick is a Santana sedan. If someone really wins it, they will be so excited that they will faint on the spot.
"Your daughter gave it to me!" Lin Xiaotong said while raising the car keys in her hand.
Xie Yi was dumbfounded: "Chengzi is so generous?"
How could an old father like him compare to this?
Very good, it’s getting warmer in spring, and the little cotton-padded jacket has become open-collared, which brings a little warmth but not much.
Lin Xiaotong had a smile on her face.
It was fun to sit back and watch the father and daughter battle it out.
"Then I have to show off my skills at noon."
Xie Yi rolled up his sleeves, took the spatula from Gao Xiulan's hand, and started cooking.
Gao Xiulan clapped her hands and told Lao Xie to leave.
"Let's take a good rest at noon. I'll go to Uncle San's house to buy some soda."
"Why."
Xie Da Jiao was so patient that she packed up the sesame that was sleeping on the slippers and took it away.
For a moment, there were only two people left in the kitchen, one cooking and the other making the fire.
The window was open, the wind blew in, and I could already smell the fragrance of the food.
"Wife, help me tie my apron."
"Director Xie is quite good at giving orders."
"I dare not."
"What gifts have you prepared this year?"
"you guess."
"Guess whether I guess or not."
"We'll find out after lunch."
Xie Yi winked at her but still didn't give in.
"Okay."
Gao Xiulan came in and urged: "Son, are the dishes ready? It's almost 12 o'clock."
As soon as Xiaotong was around, as soon as she, the supervisor, left, Haodaer started to slack off.
"Right away, just stir-fry some vegetables."
After patting the cucumber, Lin Xiaotong used a towel to wipe the sweat from his temples and nose.
"I'm back--"
Orange hurried back, his forehead covered in sweat, holding a bunch of lilies in his hand.
He handed the flowers to Lin Xiaotong: "I wish my mother eternal youth."
After receiving her daughter's blessing, she hugged her daughter and said, "Thank you, daughter."
Gao Xiulan's eyes were filled with heartache: "Why did you come back just now?"
After starting her own business, the eldest granddaughter has become thinner than before. She is only 1.7 meters tall and weighs only 90 kilograms.
They look thin and stripy, just like the loofahs she grows.
Lin Xiaotong handed over the towel: "Wash your face, we'll have dinner soon."
"Grandma, I had a last-minute meeting today and was delayed, but luckily I made it in time.
Hey, Dad, you’re the one cooking today.”
After washing her face and hands, Orange wiped them with a towel.
Xie Yi put the stir-fried vegetables on a plate and said, "It's your mother's birthday so naturally I have to show off my cooking skills."
"Dinner is ready—"
Orange brought the braised fish to the table, and the table was full of dishes at noon.
There are main dishes, and there are also many vegetarian dishes to relieve greasiness.
Xie Yi called out, "Don't just stand there and watch. Eat quickly."
"This fish is delicious and doesn't have many bones."
Lin Xiaotong first picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks. It was sour and spicy, and the whole family loved it.
"Son, your cooking skills are good enough to be considered a master. They're even better than your father's."
Gao Xiulan gave Haodaer an affirmation.
Xie Da Jiao was unhappy: "Xiu Lan, I'll cook the fish next time. I guarantee it will taste better than this."
Before Xie Yi could even start to tremble, his arrogance was half extinguished by his father.
Sure enough, at home, fatherly love is like a landslide.
"Dad, next time I want to eat fried shrimp."
"Are we going to start ordering now?"
Xie Da Jiao wished she could take back what she had said, her big-brand vest was leaking everywhere.
Xie Yi added: "I'll go buy some groceries, okay?"
His father is becoming more and more stingy, or rather, he is stingy towards him.
Now I give him pocket money three times a month!
"That's more like it. Last time I stole some information from Lao Qian about how to fry French fries. I'll show you how to do it next time."
Xie Da Jiao is fond of Western fast food, but for the sake of health, she can only eat it two or three times a year.
The last time they celebrated their birthday, the couple took their whole family to KFC.
Qiqi, wearing a doll costume, also gave a small gift to Xie Dajiao who was celebrating her birthday.
When they came back, Chengzi said to her, "Grandpa was happier while eating than the kids at the next table."
Lin Xiaotong and Gao Xiulan looked at each other and laughed.
Watching the two of them bickering is also enjoyable.
"If you don't eat now, the food will get cold."
Orange lowered his head and ate with relish, even finishing two bowls of rice. Home-cooked food still tasted better.
The family members watched her eat and unconsciously ate a little more than usual.
The cats in the house also drank a small bowl of fish soup each and lay in a row on the corridor.
Zhou Zhou from next door saw it and ran over to tell his grandma: "Grandma Xie, there's a cat at the doorstep again."
After eating, we rested for a while to let our stomachs settle. We felt sleepy after eating, so we went back to our rooms to take a nap.
Orange closed his eyes and walked back to the small room, where he fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow.
Lin Xiaotong found a vase to put the lilies in, and after cleaning up, she lay on the bed yawning.
The fan was on in the room, and I felt drowsy.
Xie Yi quietly closed the door and gently lowered the screen window in the inner room.
Lin Xiaotong propped up one arm and asked, "Have you started giving out gifts?"
Xie Yi nodded proudly and took out a small box from the closet.
He threw away his slippers and climbed onto the other side of the bed: "Wife, quickly open it and take a look."
Now she is no longer sleepy.
He sat up, took the box, and opened it to reveal a pair of wooden figures.
One has big wavy hair and is wearing a skirt, and the other has short hair and is holding a sunflower in her hand.
She recognized them immediately and pointed at the noses of the little men one by one.
"This is me, and this is you."
The workmanship is so fine that you can even see the carved eyelashes.
When you hold it in your hand and play with it, it is round and smooth, without any splinters.
I weighed it and found something wrong.
"That's not right. Why does yours have to be heavier?"
Xie Yi took out a small wooden hammer from his trouser pocket and asked, "Why don't you try to hit my head?"
She leaned in and pinched his ear: "Tell me honestly, what's hidden in there?"
Playing Russian dolls here, but it is indeed a little exciting.
Xie Yi covered his mouth and refused to speak: "Just open it and you'll know."
She was half-believing and half-doubting, so she took the small wooden hammer and hit the doll's head.
The first knock didn't open it, so it took three knocks before the puppet finally opened, revealing what was hidden inside.
"Have you saved so much money?"
She really didn't expect that Xie Yi would give her a sunflower tray made of pure gold with a golden sunflower seed stuffed in it.
"If I were really rich, I would give you a basin-sized one. It's only this small, not even full of melon seeds."
Xie Yi felt a little embarrassed when he mentioned this. Besides the monthly pocket money he received, he also had some money given by his parents and daughter from time to time.
In addition, he also received the royalties from his contributions in recent years, and the dividends from Orange last time.
I saved for so long before I dared to touch gold this year.
"Do you like it? I'll try to save a few more golden pumpkin seeds every year."
Xie Yi patted his chest and made a boast.
Anyway, he doesn't smoke, drink or play cards, so what's wrong with him just saving some money to buy golden melon seeds for his wife?
She nodded frantically: "I like it."
How can you not like gold?
Last year, when Gao Xiulan and her aunt celebrated their birthdays, she gave each of them a gold bracelet and hugged them in her arms, almost kissing them over and over again.
Xie Yi enjoyed the gentle gaze of his wife and raised his chin even higher.
He is smart. At least he won’t have to rack his brains to think of next year’s birthday gift for the next ten years.
When Orange got up, she saw her father smiling happily and her mother had a smile on her face.
She guessed that her father was going to make a big move.
No, she has to work hard to make money. What should she buy next time?
"Mom, I'm going back to the studio."
"Wait, bring some snacks over. They should have finished their last meal, right?"
"Thank you, Mom. Love you."
…
On the evening of July 13, 2001.
It was a rare occasion for everyone in the compound to get together. They would sit on big benches and chat, holding palm-leaf fans.
As time got closer, Gao Xiulan felt inexplicably nervous.
"Do you think we can succeed this time?"
