Chapter 339 Of course I like it
"The elders in Tuanan's family are quite capable. No wonder Xingyan always praises them." Professor Gu said first.
"What a good gift choice!" Professor Su asked.
"These are not ordinary four treasures of the study. They are the best wolf-hair brushes among Hu brushes, the soot ink among Hui inks, the raw rice paper, and the finest fish brain jelly among Duan inkstones," Professor Gu introduced.
"That means you not only have the level but also the strength." Although Professor Su has not conducted in-depth research, she has been with Professor Gu for many years and has learned a lot from him, so she can be considered a half-expert. She touched the thin blanket with high-quality texture beside her.
"Well, money is one thing, but the main thing is that these things are not available just because you want to buy them."
"That means they take it very seriously and have been preparing for a long time. The purpose is to reassure us and tell us that Xingyan will not suffer." Professor Su replied.
Professor Gu nodded.
"I accepted it. I just like it!" Professor Su looked at Professor Gu with a smile.
"You're talking about these four treasures! Of course I like them." Professor Gu said stubbornly.
"Okay! I like this blanket too." Professor Su shook out the blanket and put it on her knees, looking at her husband with a smile.
"Your chess skills are a bit lacking." Professor Gu sighed.
"It's enough that he plays chess with good character. Don't find fault with him, especially in front of our daughter." Professor Su patted Professor Gu.
"Tsk, you're already protecting me."
The campus was empty, with only Tunan and Xingyan walking slowly on the road.
Arriving at a pavilion, Tunan stopped the car and looked up.
"What's wrong?" Xingyan asked.
"This is an old pavilion, it's been there for many years!" Tuanan seemed to be looking at it carefully.
“It should have been there since the beginning of school.”
Tunan nodded: "That means it has been several decades."
The two of them walked into the pavilion. Tunan looked up, and Xingyan followed suit.
Suddenly, a golden light flashed before her eyes.
Tunan wore a gold necklace with a heart-shaped pendant engraved with a magnolia flower.
"The gifts for the elders were prepared by my elders, and this was prepared with the money I earned myself."
Xingyan pursed her lips and smiled.
Tunan stretched out his hand in front of her and said apologetically: "I don't have much money, so I can only buy the smallest one. Later..."
"I have even less money, including the salary Aunt Huang gives me, so I can only buy the most ordinary things." Xingyan also said.
She pulled a light brown wallet from her bag and handed it to Tunan.
The two looked at each other's eyes, which were bright and warm.
Huang Ling went to work in the morning today and returned home in the afternoon to wait for Tuanan.
Seeing that he came back empty-handed, I felt relieved.
The item is indeed valuable and rare. If the other party's parents did not accept it, it means that they do not agree or do not agree temporarily. If they accept it now, it means that they like Tuanan.
I thought that was the end of it, but unexpectedly, Tunan took out return gifts from the two professors from his bag.
A calligraphy work by Professor Gu, written using the four treasures of the study given by Huang Ling.
This set of books on ancient architecture is not a rare edition, but it is also a rare hardcover version on the market.
There is also a box of Su-style pastries made by Professor Su himself, which are extremely exquisite.
Professor Su likes to study these on a daily basis. It is said that one box is hard to come by. Many bakeries want to invite her to make them, but she has refused. She only makes some when she is in the mood to give to relatives and friends.
Tunan heard from Xingyan that the cake was made through a complicated process and it would take two or three days to prepare it all.
The other half of my heart, which was hanging in the air just now, was now at ease.
......
Wangshi Garden.
Bad news: the magnolias aren't blooming.
Good news: Xingyan met all of Tunan’s brothers and sisters.
In fact, this was the second time they met. The first time was at Kaiming Western Restaurant. At that time, Gu Xingyan only counted the heads and did not see the faces clearly.
Today it finally matched.
Tuanan introduced her one by one: her biological sister Xiaoting, cousin Pengfei, stepbrother Hongbin, and foster brother Dongzhe.
"I remember there was a pretty girl and a boy who was younger than Xiaoting." Xingyan asked.
"Sister Xingyan has a great memory." Xiaoting praised.
"I didn't see the person clearly, but I'm very sensitive to numbers and things." Xingyan replied with a smile.
"Those are our neighbors, Wu Shanshan and Wu Jun, brother and sister..." Tuanan introduced.
"Tunan, you can't introduce me like this!" Zheyu said dissatisfiedly.
"Then why don't you respond? Why don't you introduce yourselves? Aren't they my neighbors?" Tuanan replied while suppressing a laugh.
"I think you did it on purpose." Zheyu rolled his eyes at him.
"Okay, okay, let me introduce them again. They are our neighbors, a brother and a sister. Shanshan is also our Zheyu's childhood sweetheart." Tuanan introduced them again.
"Ah!" Xingyan and Li Yaoyao exclaimed softly. Li Yaoyao then asked, "Then why don't you ask them to come play together?"
"They have moved to the south now, so we can only see them during summer vacation." Zheyu said generously.
The two of them didn't ask about it any further and were actually happy for Zheyu.
The weather was very warm, and everyone sat by the Moon and Wind Pavilion to rest.
Pengfei and Dongzhe tease the fish in the pond.
Li Yaoyao, Gu Xingyan and Xiaoting were taking pictures with cameras by the pond.
Hongbin and Zheyu sat together and chatted.
Only Tunan was not there. He was doing his winter vacation homework, drawing and taking notes with a piece of paper and a pen.
He had come here once before for homework, and this time he came to play with everyone and fill in the gaps.
Xiao Ting suddenly noticed that a magnolia tree outside a flower window not far away seemed to have buds. She took two steps to take a closer look and found that there really were buds. She turned around and said to Gu Xingyan:
"Sister Xingyan, this magnolia tree is blooming!"
When she turned around, she almost bumped into the person behind her, but luckily she stopped.
"I'm sorry." Xiaoting apologized quickly.
The other party was three young men, smiling with malicious intent.
"Little sister, just apologize and that's it," one of them said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, that apology is definitely not enough!" The other one looked Xiaoting up and down and laughed.
"I didn't even bump into you just now. I've said sorry enough." Xiaoting took a step back calmly.
One of the three men blocked her way.
Gu Xingyan and Li Yaoyao had already come up by this time.
"What? Three grown men bullying a little girl!" Li Yaoyao was already a hot-tempered person, so she spoke first.
"How is this bullying? We didn't do anything! You're making such a loud noise, you scared me to death!" One of them said, patting his chest.
"I've never seen a dead person in my life! Let me see you die! I'll take a photo of you!" Gu Xingyan raised the camera.
"You stinky girl..."
Before the man finished speaking, Xiaoting called out "Brother!"
The three of them were stunned at first, and then they saw several boys, all tall and strong, jumping out from the archway, the pond, and the corner of the wall.
"Apologize to my sister!" Hongbin began to roll up his sleeves.
The three of them looked at each other, apologized quickly, and ran away.
This group of young boys and girls in their prime laughed wildly under the window where the magnolia flowers were about to bloom.
The winter vacation passed in a flash, and it was time to set off.
