Their group didn't participate in the research; they only worked with the data, so they didn't know whether it was successful or not.
Lin Yuxi gets home early from get off work, so Jiang Shufen can cook one or two more dishes in the evening.
“Let’s have a big meal tonight. We forgot to celebrate Gu Chen’s birthday because Xiao Bao was in confinement for a while. He’s not busy lately, and you’re free, so let’s have a simple celebration for him tomorrow.” Jiang Shufen, wearing an apron, discussed with Lin Yuxi.
Lin Yuxi nodded. "How about we eat out?"
"Let's eat at home. Whatever good food is available outside, we can cook it at home. It's just a few of us, so a small table of dishes is fine. We'll see if Gu Chen invites his comrades over. If he does, we can just make a couple more dishes."
Last year, when Gu Chen was twenty-five years old, he was in the army.
When Gu Chen was twenty-six years old this year, her child was still in postpartum confinement.
I missed it both times.
Jiang Shufen wanted to make it up to them.
Lin Yuxi thought for a moment and decided that she should also prepare a birthday gift for him.
After much thought, I even prepared a menu, intending to splurge a little.
Now that two people in their family are working, they don't have to be stingy with meat, and with so many gold bars in the space, they can easily sell one and live off it for a lifetime.
She has a lot of savings; her family could eat meat every day without any problem.
"Mom, take this money and tickets. We've spent a lot of money on groceries and meat lately. I'll go to the department store tomorrow and buy him something to make up for it." Lin Yuxi took out the money and tickets and handed them to Jiang Shufen.
Jiang Shufen took it, "Then you can also bring me a gift. You two have been married for so long, and I haven't bought anything for my son-in-law yet. You know his preferences, so just pick something out for him."
Lin Yuxi spends money like water, but that's because she's not spending her own money. She hasn't touched any of her gold bars; all of this money is the ill-gotten gains she's amassed from Dong Wei's family. She's spent everything she can.
During dinner that evening, the two of them chose not to talk about Gu Chen.
If you announce a surprise in advance, it's no longer a surprise.
The next day, Lin Yuxi got up early and went to the department store. She picked out several outfits and bought two pairs of shoes. Summer clothes were cheaper. In addition, she also picked out a watch for Gu Chen.
She didn't bring the child. The weather is gradually getting hot, and it's nice for the child to cool off in the residential compound with the fan blowing.
After browsing around one last time, she also bought a safety amulet for her child.
Taking advantage of her day off, Lin Yuxi not only bought these items but also did a big shopping spree at the department store. The face cream at home was almost used up, so she bought a few more bottles to give Jiang Shufen a couple to use.
Lin Yuxi had almost finished buying everything when she suddenly saw Zou Lengyan standing in front of the shop.
Her relationship with Guo Shuwen seemed to have improved again; the two of them were seen holding hands and shopping together at a department store.
Just as Lin Yuxi saw the two of them, Guo Shuwen also turned around and saw her.
"Leng Yan, do you think that's Gu Chen's wife from the countryside?" Guo Shuwen asked, glancing at Lin Yuxi not far away.
Zou Lengyan took a look and confirmed that it was indeed Lin Yuxi. However, Lin Yuxi was now pregnant, and this child was hard-won, so she couldn't afford any mishaps.
“It’s her. Let’s go. Maybe she’s here to buy something for the child too.”
Guo Shuwen pulled her aside and whispered, "Why are you afraid of her? Didn't you say she pushed you in the library a while ago? Isn't this a perfect opportunity?"
