Chapter 144 Good Brothers
Ai Xiaoxia was really surprised when she heard the 10,000 yuan. At that time, everyone was earning a salary. Even if Lin Jianye was the director, his income was fixed. This money should be a family asset for them. They probably felt guilty about it and wanted to make up for it.
She quickly pushed the money back in front of Lin Jianye: "Dad, this is too much money, and Jing Shen and I earn a lot, so we are not short of money."
If it was one or two thousand, Ai Xiaoxia might not refuse like this, but this is indeed a bit too much.
"That's different. No matter how much money you have, it's the result of your own hard work. But my daughter had no dowry when she got married, and I haven't fulfilled my fatherly responsibilities to her over the years. If you don't accept this money, won't it make your mother and I feel even worse?" Lin Jianye's eyes were slightly red when he said this. He actually didn't know how to make up for the lack of love for his daughter over the years, so he also hoped to give the child more money so that he would feel better.
Ai Xiaoxia thought about it and decided that since she had already received the money, she would just find a way to return it later. Now, taking the money would make them feel better and would be good for them.
However, Ai Xiaoxia also looked at Lin Rui. After all, Lin Rui was still unmarried and a boy. He shouldn't have any thoughts because of this. It wasn't worth it.
When Ai Xiaoxia looked at Lin Rui, he was happily eating a mango. He said to Ai Xiaoxia, "Just accept what your parents gave you. Your second brother didn't even go to your wedding. Wait until Chinese New Year for your second brother to give you a big red envelope."
Ai Xiaoxia looked at Lin Rui and smiled. This second brother was so cute, and the atmosphere of this family really made her happy.
She said to Lin Rui, "Second brother, when you get married, I will buy you a big house."
Lin Rui quickly shook his head: "You should save this money, but don't show off. You need to have some financial resources to live on. My parents have already prepared a house for me to marry a wife. It's a pity that I don't have a girlfriend yet."
Lin Jianye looked at his son and didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "He's so grown up, but he's quite proud of not having a girlfriend. I don't know if it's because he's a little bit short-sighted."
Lin Rui was silent for a moment, then said, "Dad, I'm not lacking in heart, but I won't settle for someone I don't like. There are many girls chasing me in the hospital, but I just don't like them."
Lin Jianye smiled and said, "He's quite narcissistic. I don't know if it's true or not."
Ai Xiaoxia said, "My second brother is so handsome, it's normal for girls to pursue him." Then she said to Lin Jianye, "Dad, there's really no need to rush my second brother's marriage. He's so outstanding, he will meet someone who is truly suitable for him. We don't need to make do."
Lin Ruite looked at Ai Xiaoxia happily: "My sister understands me. I believe in true love. If there is no such thing, I would rather be single for the rest of my life."
Huang Wanxia looked at the brother and sister and smiled: "This is good, there is another one who is not afraid of trouble."
Time always passes quickly when they are chatting and laughing. They kept talking until midnight before Lin Jianye and the others went back.
After seeing Lin Jianye and the others off, Lu Jingshen looked at the money and asked, "Aren't we living too well?"
Ai Xiaoxia also smiled: "Indeed, I'm not short of money. I'll save it tomorrow. I haven't figured out how to spend it yet."
"Yeah, let's save it. When my second brother gets married, we really have to give him a big gift." Lu Jingshen said.
"Giving it to the second brother and not the eldest is not a big deal. Let's think about how to be fair and not create a rift between the brothers and sisters. There's no rush anyway."
"Well, we'll talk about it later."
The two of them cleaned up the table while talking. After they cleaned up and washed up, it was almost one o'clock. Lu Jingshen had to get up early tomorrow, so he went to bed quickly.
The next morning, Ai Xiaoxia was itching to draw a lot of graphic designs at home, which would be useful next year.
In the afternoon, she went out and bought a bunch of baking materials and tools, and also bought an oven, and had it delivered to her home. Anyway, she had money, and she knew she could make money, so she was not afraid of spending money at all.
After returning home, she started to make cakes and calm down. It was really good to enjoy life quietly like this. She planned to buy an easel tomorrow and listen to music and paint when she had time. Anyway, she didn't have to go to the store every day, so she still had plenty of free time.
Before Lu Jingshen got off work, she made a chocolate fruit cake. Because she hadn't made it for a long time and didn't dare to make anything too complicated, she poured chocolate around it to create a flowing shape, and then decorated the middle with various fruits.
Let’s practice first. Lu Jingshen’s birthday is in about twenty days. On Lu Jingshen’s birthday, I will make him a cake with roses, have a candlelight dinner, open a bottle of red wine, be romantic, and let our relationship warm up again.
Today I just eat this for fun, and it’s also a test product. As long as it tastes good, it doesn’t have much meaning.
After I finished cooking, I remembered that I hadn't cooked yet. I looked at the clock and saw Lu Jingshen coming back immediately.
She was thinking about the frozen steak outside the north window. She had bought some butter for snacks today, so she could use the butter to fry the steak and make some fried chicken. Then she would have Western food in the evening.
Just as he was thinking, Lu Jingshen came back with a bouquet of flowers. When he entered the house, he smelled the aroma of baking. Looking at the cake on the table, he knew it was made by Ai Xiaoxia.
He put the flowers in Ai Xiaoxia's hands and said, "I've never been in a relationship before. Every day after get off work, I just run home. Today, when I saw other people buying flowers, I remembered that I have never bought you any. I will learn to be more romantic in the future."
Ai Xiaoxia looked at Lu Jingshen with a smile while holding the flowers. "A man who knows how to go home after get off work is a good man. As for those who are romantic or not, I don't care."
"That won't work. We agreed to make you the happiest woman. You must have everything others don't have."
"Then I will make you the happiest man."
"I'm very happy now. My wife is capable of both housework and cooking. She can make cakes like this. I guess there's no one else in this compound who has this skill." Lu Jingshen's face was full of happiness whenever he talked about his wife.
Ai Xiaoxia felt itchy inside when he called her "wife" all the time. She smiled and said, "It's not professional, and the cake isn't that successful, but I have a good aesthetic sense and I covered up the shortcomings. It's still pretty good."
Lu Jingshen kissed Ai Xiaoxia on the forehead: "That's right, my wife is the best."
Ai Xiaoxia pointed to the kitchen: "I haven't cooked yet. Go make it now. It will be quick."
Lu Jingshen said, "I'll go wash my hands. Let's do it together." Then he went to wash his hands.
Just as Ai Xiaoxia reached the kitchen door, someone knocked. She went to open the door and saw Sun Qiang coming in with two large baskets. "Sister-in-law, the river has opened. The fish my friend and I bought are still alive. Hurry up and pack them up. They will definitely be good gifts for others."
Ai Xiaoxia quickly helped Sun Qiang bring the fish in and closed the door. There were too many fish, and they were all very big, filling up two large baskets.
Lu Jingshen washed his hands and hurried out. He and Sun Qiang took the fish directly to the kitchen. The fish was all wet and could not be left in the living room.
Sun Qiang washed his hands and left the kitchen. Seeing the cake, he asked the two of them in surprise, "Whose birthday is it?"
