354 Apology
After a night's sleep and with his wife's psychological counseling, Jiang Baohai's mood has fully recovered.
While having breakfast, I took the initiative to greet my mother first.
Seeing his son like this, Qi Lianxin felt better. This time he really made up his mind that he would never have anything to do with Uncle Wang again.
So as to avoid further trouble.
Gao Qinghe rarely got up early and woke her daughter up. The mother and daughter washed up together, and the family sat around the dining table to eat breakfast together. The atmosphere returned to its former warmth.
Jiang Baohai said, "I'll go downstairs and return the scarf later. Mom, which building and room is Mr. Wang?"
Qi Lianxin told his son the address of Uncle Wang's house and told him to just return the things and not to hit the old man.
Jiang Baohai twitched his lips speechlessly.
"Don't worry, I won't."
He is not a young boy and is not that impulsive.
But what the family of four didn't expect was that they hadn't come to their door yet.
Uncle Wang and his daughter actually came here first.
Gao Qinghe went to open the door, thinking that it was the property management company coming to collect this month's property management fees.
Unexpectedly, what he saw was Uncle Wang with a wry smile on his face, and his daughter Wang Xin, whose face was swollen like a steamed bun made of leavened dough.
The father and daughter were carrying fruits and two cans of nutritious milk powder. Wang Xin had no smile on her face, but when her father elbowed her, she immediately forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Uncle Wang, what are you doing?" Gao Qinghe asked in feigned confusion.
Uncle Wang had spent the entire night preparing his opening lines, but when they came to his lips, they turned into a dry voice:
"Xiao Gao, we are so sorry. We are here to apologize to you and your mother."
Hearing the noise, Qi Lianxin stood up in surprise and walked over, followed closely by Jiang Baohai holding his curious daughter.
A family of four stood at the door, and the father and daughter subconsciously shrank back. After all, they felt guilty and a little scared.
Especially when he saw Jiang Baohai, Uncle Wang felt inexplicably uneasy.
But then he thought again, the person opposite him was just a young man about the same age as his son, so he smiled again and nodded friendly.
Qi Lianxin whispered to his son that this was Uncle Wang, whose full name was Wang Tongwei.
Jiang Baohai said, "It's great that you came. I don't have to go look for you again."
As he said that, he went back to the house, took out the unopened box of scarves, and threw it into Uncle Wang's arms with a "bang".
Uncle Wang was shocked. The gift box hadn't even been opened. Could it be that she...
Before Uncle Wang could guess, he saw that the box of scarves worth 1888 was returned intact. Wang Xin, who already had a painful face, felt as if he was slapped twice, and his face was burning.
She coughed lightly twice, mustered up the courage to step forward, and bowed three times to Qi Lianxin solemnly.
"Aunt Qi, I'm sorry. I misunderstood yesterday. I admit my mistake to you now. Please forgive me!"
As he said that, he handed over the gift, gritted his teeth, took out an envelope containing five thousand yuan from his bag, handed it over with both hands, and waited anxiously for the other party's reaction.
Her series of actions were completely beyond Qi Lianxin's expectations.
She was stunned for a moment, then looked at her son and daughter-in-law hesitantly.
Gao Qinghe shrugged. It was her mother-in-law's choice to forgive or not. She just wanted compensation for the scarf.
Jiang Baohai cursed the old man at the door dozens of times in his heart, but pretended to be magnanimous on the surface and said to his mother:
"Mom, I think Ms. Wang Xin is quite sincere in admitting her mistake. Since it was just a misunderstanding and she's compensated, we're neighbors after all. We'll see each other sooner or later, so let's make it a small matter."
"What do you think, Mom?"
Qi Lianxin breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly, "That's it, you guys can go back, everything is fine."
After a pause, thinking that the opportunity was rare, he added:
"Ms. Wang, young people should not be so impulsive. I see that you are a mother now, so you should try to control your hot temper in the future."
After saying this, Qi Lianxin finally felt relieved. Without even looking at the eager Grandpa Wang, he lowered his head, took his granddaughter's hand, and went back to the house first.
Uncle Wang: "Xiao Qi..."
Gao Qinghe and Jiang Baohai looked at him with smiles on their faces, their rejection attitude obvious.
Uncle Wang had no choice but to look away disappointedly, and apologized to the couple again on behalf of his daughter. He took the gift box and left dejectedly.
Wang Xin turned around and looked at Gao Qinghe several times.
Everything she was thinking was written on her face, and Gao Qinghe could tell at a glance that she was repeatedly confirming whether she was really the investment boss.
After waving their hands, Gao Qinghe and Jiang Baohai watched the elevator door close before they closed it.
Without outsiders, the family of four looked at each other, and finally their eyes fell on a bag of apples and nutritious milk powder on the ground.
Gao Qinghe meant that since she came to apologize to her mother-in-law, she could handle it herself.
Jiang Baohai was not polite at all. He squatted down and asked Jiang Qiyue: "Baby, do you want to drink milk?"
Is there any need to ask?
The little girl nodded frantically like a chick pecking at rice.
Jiang Baohai picked up a can, took it to the kitchen, took out his daughter's water cup, and mixed milk powder for her.
Jiang Qiyue actively followed behind his father, calling him "Dad" all the time, making his old father laugh.
Qi Lianxin shook his head helplessly and put the remaining can of milk powder on the storage shelf, intending to mix it for breakfast.
As for the apples, he picked five on the spot, washed them, cut them into pieces, and put them in the hands of his excited daughter-in-law.
"Eat, eat more." Qi Lianxin said unhappily.
There is a place to eat and drink, and there is still the 5,000 yuan compensation left.
Qi Lianxin didn't want it at first, but she knew that her daughter-in-law was not easy to get along with when it came to money, so for the sake of future neighborhood harmony, she accepted it.
He took out a hundred yuan and put the rest into Gao Qinghe's pajamas pocket.
"Mom?" Gao Qinghe asked knowingly, with a puzzled look on his face.
Qi Lianxin: "Take it, it's yours to begin with. If I knew you bought me such an expensive scarf, I would make you return it no matter what."
As he spoke, he remembered the cashmere scarf that his daughter-in-law almost threw away last night. Qi Lianxin found it and planned to wash it again, spread it out and stretch it out. It should be able to be worn again.
Gao Qinghe chuckled and said, "Then I'll go see if there's a cheap and good quality scarf on the street and buy you a new one."
I received the money without any psychological burden.
Because of the cuteness of the money, I think Uncle Wang is actually a good person and he knows what he is doing.
Although Jiang Baohai didn't say it, he was prepared to observe the old man's character more.
The scarf incident just passed.
The old men and women in the activity room were also very tactful and no one spread rumors. Gao Qinghe expressed satisfaction with the quality of his neighbors.
The next day was the day Jiang Yu returned.
A week had passed since New Year's Day 1994, and Jiang Qiyue was looking at the calendar every day, hoping his aunt would return.
The happiest person in the family is Qi Lianxin.
Jiang Yu didn't come back during the summer vacation, which means he hadn't seen her for a year. Qi Lianxin welcomed his daughter with great enthusiasm.
The night before, she cleaned the room that Gao Qinghe had specially reserved spotlessly, laid out a thick new quilt, and put on a newly bought teddy bear quilt cover that had just been washed and dried and smelled of laundry detergent.
She also bought toothbrushes, water cups, face towels, foot basins and other daily necessities, and covered the head of the bed with a pink lace flower cover that she made herself using a new sewing machine.
