Chapter 447 Precious Gift
Song Ying pulled Huang Ling into the house again and searched for something mysteriously in the depths of the cabinet.
Seeing her nervous look, Huang Ling also became nervous and took on the task of lookout.
"Hurry up, your Dongzhe is a shrewd man. If we close the door for too long, he will definitely get suspicious." Huang Ling urged.
"Okay, Sister Ling, come here." Song Ying placed a cloth bag on the bed.
Huang Ling looked down and saw Song Ying opening the cloth bag, which contained three long jewelry boxes.
"This is......"
"Gold necklace." Song Ying answered in a very low voice, and then opened all three jewelry boxes.
Inside were three gold necklaces of appropriate thickness. One could tell they were from Guangdong by looking at the style and workmanship.
"I asked Wu Feng to buy it when he went to Guangzhou on a business trip." Song Ying told Huang Ling.
"It's better to buy gold than to save money. Let me lock the safe for you," Huang Ling asked in a low voice.
Song Ying shook her head: "No, no one knows we have it at home, it's safe to hide it in the cupboard."
"Oh, you just want to show it to me, right?" Huang Ling joked.
Song Ying moved her butt closer to Huang Ling and whispered in her ear:
"One for you, one for me, and one for Xiaoting. Xiaoting's will be her graduation gift after she finishes the college entrance exam. You pick one first, then pick one for Xiaoting, and the rest is mine."
Huang Ling was stunned. This gold necklace was quite expensive! She quickly refused:
"No, no, it's too expensive. Xiaoting and I can't have it. You and Wufeng also earned your money through hard work. Just keep it and sell it later when the price is higher."
Song Ying slammed the box shut, then hugged the cloth bag, startling Huang Ling:
"What are you doing? You're so startled..."
"I'll throw it in the trash!"
"You go." Huang Ling said, trying not to laugh.
"I'll just throw it!" Song Ying rushed to the door and then turned back, saying dejectedly, "You...why are you the only one who can use this trick?"
"Because I really can throw it away and you can't! Haha, okay, okay, I'll take it!" Huang Ling took the cloth bag from her hand and spread it out again, "Let me see!"
Song Ying was happy when she heard it.
Huang Ling took a closer look and found that two of them were heart-shaped pendants, one was a carved peacock and the other was a hollow butterfly, and the remaining one was a teardrop-shaped pendant.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Lin Chang has really good taste. I knew at once that the teardrop-shaped one was bought for you, the little peacock one is for Xiaoting, and the rest are mine, right!"
Song Ying picked up the teardrop-shaped one and compared it to Huang Ling's neck:
"Don't worry about it. Do you like butterflies or this? This shape is rare on the market right now. You just like something different from everyone else!"
"This butterfly was also picked for me by Director Lin! He knows I like butterflies the most."
Huang Ling then chose the butterfly one and thanked him again:
"Then I'll be polite. Thank you, and thank Director Lin for me too."
"Still being so polite to me!" Song Ying put the other two away and said, "Don't tell Xiaoting! When she gets the admission letter, I'm going to give her a surprise!"
Huang Ling gave her a helpless look:
"Don't worry, just keep your mouth shut. I won't tell anyone."
"Hahahahaha! What do you mean? What do you mean..."
"You know exactly what I mean!"
The two began to play cat and mouse.
In the yard, Dongzhe glanced into the house and whispered to Xiaoting:
"What are they plotting again? My mom must have hidden something good for my aunt. I saw her acting suspiciously the past few days."
Xiao Ting smiled and said:
"Whenever my aunt has something good, she always thinks of my mom first. Whenever my mom has something good, she always thinks of my aunt first. No matter how many sisters we have, they are closer to us than these two."
Outside the house, Aunt Li shouted:
"Song Ying, come out quickly. Let's discuss what vegetables to buy. I'll be ready to go right away."
The two stopped fighting, and Song Ying responded, "Here I come!"
As she spoke, she quickly wrapped up the remaining two necklaces and put them back in their original place. Then she opened the door and went out. When she reached the yard, she said to Xiaoting:
"Xiaoting, help your mother take the bag in."
"Okay, auntie." Xiaoting responded and took Huang Ling's purse into the house.
Huang Ling showed the gold necklace to Xiao Ting. The mother and daughter leaned over to look at it. After they were satisfied, Huang Ling put the jewelry box into her bag.
Aunt Li and Song Ying were planning the dishes, but adding one on the left and one on the right was not enough, and they almost made a full banquet.
During the dinner, Song Ying was the happiest person. She seemed to see her son standing at the gate of Fudan University.
She sighed:
"When we first moved into this compound, Lin Dongzhe was so naughty that I beat him up three times a day! I thought, 'Grow up quickly! Go get a job right after graduating from middle school!' I never thought he'd have the chance to go to a key high school, and soon, college!"
Dongzhe sucked the spareribs in his hand clean and said, "Mom, if you want to praise me, just give me the compliments. Why are you cursing me in a roundabout way?"
"If you get into college, please kowtow to your aunt! Without her thinking about you and helping you every day, you would have gone to work as a mechanic in a factory!" Song Ying gave her son a blank look.
"You have to kowtow." Dongzhe responded.
"And your Uncle Zhou, who used to be your driver to pick you up from evening study every day. However, after becoming the director, he never socialized because he was afraid that he would not be able to pick you up in time after school." Song Ying added.
"Kowtowing, Uncle Zhou must kowtow too." Dongzhe nodded again.
"And Xiaoting..."
"Mom, Xiaoting and I are of the same generation, so why not just forget it!"
"You child!"
Song Ying raised her hand high, then gently dropped it, hitting Lin Dongzhe on the back.
Everyone laughed, and the little tiger on Aunt Li's lap also giggled.
It was definitely impossible to finish so many dishes, so Huang Ling and Zhou Huaiyi packed a lot of them in lunch boxes. Now the family of three had dinner and returned home happily.
They didn't know that Zhuang Chaoying had already reached the top of the list shortly after they left.
At that time, not many people were looking at the list.
The first page was huge, and it contained the top ten students from No. 1 Middle School. Zhuang Chaoying looked up and saw Huang Xiaoting's name was the second one. At the same time, he also saw Lin Dongzhe's name on the same page, and was surprised.
In his impression, Lin Dongzhe was in the middle like Pengfei, but he didn't know that he had climbed into the top ten in three years.
Zhuang Chaoying continued to search and found that Pengfei's results were much better than he expected. He breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s good that Pengfei is qualified to take the college entrance examination.
He counted the number of students who passed the preliminary examination at No. 1 Middle School, calculated the ratio in his mind according to the total number of students at No. 1 Middle School, and sighed again. No. 10 Middle School was still far behind No. 1 Middle School.
......
The next day at work, Zhuang Chaoying and his colleagues were also having a heated discussion in the office about the preliminary exam results.
No one asked how Zhuang Chaoying's daughter did in the exam.
Everyone knows that the daughter has always been with her mother. The son was taken over halfway and went to Tsinghua University, so the daughter will naturally be no problem.
The Industrial Bureau was also discussing the pre-examination early in the morning. Zhou Huaiyi smiled and said nothing.
When everyone saw him like this, they joked, "Director Zhou, when you smile like that, I know your daughter must have done well in the exam!"
"Well, it went well." Zhou Huaiyi nodded.
"Director Zhou, which number is it this time?" someone asked.
"What Director Zhou means by normal is second in the entire grade at No. 1 Middle School!" Someone answered for him. That person's son was also in the third year of high school at No. 1 Middle School.
"Awesome!" everyone exclaimed.
Zhou Huaiyi smiled and replied: "The child takes after her mother, she has a high IQ."
