When Lu Jiaxin saw these things, she knew that they should have been brought from Hongcheng, but she was worried because she didn't see the person. Seeing that she looked like Ms. Gu, Hong Gu took them. This is also human nature. After all, no matter how much you hear, it is not as real as seeing it with your own eyes.
Hong Gu said, "My cousin, these things are very nutritious. You are weak now, so you should eat more, so that you can get better quickly."
Lu Jiaxin politely declined: "I'm taking medicine and can't eat many things. I heard that Ms. Gu is not in good health either, so I'll keep these for her."
"The old lady has them. I bought them especially for you."
Lu Jiaxin still refused, saying that she would not accept gifts without merit, and gave her the money she had prepared: "This is the money for the color TV and refrigerator. I'm sorry, I don't have foreign currency, so I can only give you Chinese currency."
Hong Gu was stunned. She didn't expect that Lu Jiaxin would not only not want the supplements, but also wanted to pay back the money for the home appliances. She pushed the money back to Lu Jiaxin and said with a smile, "Cousin, before I came, the old lady asked me to buy you something you needed."
Lu Jiaxin said sincerely, "Aunt Hong, when my mother was alive, she often said that we shouldn't just accept other people's things. Even if the appraisal results prove that Ms. Gu is my great aunt, I can't take so many things from her. If there's anything missing, I'll find a way to make money and buy it myself."
For things like TV and refrigerator, it's not that she can't afford them, but she can't use them yet. She has a radio and listens to the news and BBC radio every day. As for the refrigerator, the city is like a natural refrigerator in winter, so she plans to buy one when it gets hotter.
Hong Gu's smile deepened when she heard this: "I know without any identification that you must be the old lady's granddaughter. Cousin, this is specially bought by the old lady for your health. As the old saying goes, a gift from an elder cannot be refused. Cousin cannot let the old lady down."
Now that things have come to this, Lu Jiaxin can no longer refuse.
Hong Gu took out her camera to take a picture of Lu Jiaxin and thought that her clothes were too plain: "Cousin, do you have any brightly colored clothes? Girls look prettier in brightly colored clothes."
Lu Jiaxin had bright clothes, but she was not willing to change them: "I think this dress is pretty, let's just shoot it like this!"
I don't deny that the clothes fit her well and suit her figure, but the color is too plain. Hong Gu said: "The old lady likes bright clothes, which make her look beautiful and energetic."
Lu Jiaxin said, "Let's shoot!"
Ms. Gu likes bright clothes, that's her business, it has nothing to do with me. She can wear whatever she wants and do whatever she wants, and she can't let anyone tell her what to do.
Hong Gumei thought she had a bad temper.
After taking the photos, Lu Jiaxin said she was tired and wanted to take a nap: "I have to take a nap at this time every day. If I don't take a nap, I will have no energy in the afternoon and evening."
She didn't like what happened just now, and she didn't want to continue dealing with Hong Gu. Under this situation, she didn't plan to live with Ms. Gu even if she went to Hongcheng.
After leaving the house, Hong Gu shook her head and said, "My cousin has such a bad temper. I have to talk to the old lady about it."
She just refused to change into bright clothes. When she went to Hong Kong and entered the He family, she would have conflicts with Miss Sun and Master Sun, and the old lady would be in trouble.
Dr. Xu is Ms. Gu's personal doctor. He thinks differently from Hong Gu: "Hong Gu, Miss Biao and Miss Xing have completely different temperaments. The old lady might like them more."
Xing Yujun was gentle and kind. He had never seen this girl lose her temper since he served Old Lady Gu. What was the result? He Shengbin from the third room coaxed her into a coma with a few words, and almost killed Old Lady Gu. With such a precedent, if Miss Cousin also had such a temperament, the old lady would have concerns.
Lu Jiaxin yawned and said, "They are not used to the food here. Okay, I'm sleepy, you go and do your own thing!"
The color TV and refrigerator were both large items, and many people in the alley saw them, not to mention Auntie Pang. I thought Lu Jiaguang would come over after get off work to ask about it, but I didn't expect to see him until dark.
The next day, at dawn, Hong Gu and Doctor Xu came knocking on the door. Doctor Xu drew blood from Lu Jiaxin, carefully put it away, and prepared to leave.
Lu Jiaxin handed the square red box carved with peony flowers to Hong Gu. When Hong Gu looked puzzled, she explained, "This is a gift from me to Ms. Gu. I hope she will like it."
After receiving so many things from Ms. Gu, she must give gifts in return. After thinking about it last night, she decided that jade jewelry would be the best. She would not touch the jewelry left by Lu's mother. The mutton-fat jade jewelry given by Su Heming was just right.
Hong Gu was also used to seeing good things, so she was a little surprised to see this box. She took it with both hands: "The old lady will definitely like the things given by my cousin."
Because they had to catch a plane, the two left quickly.
After Lu Jiaxin sent the man away, she washed her face and started practicing Ba Duan Jin with Xiao Xiao. After persisting for several months, she is now quite good at it.
Sitting in the cart, Dr. Xu saw the quaint box and said, "Auntie Hong, the texture and color of this box look the same as the old lady's dressing table?"
Hong Gu nodded and said, "The old lady's dressing table is made of Huanghuali wood, and so is this box."
Doctor Xu did not think this was a coincidence and thought the girl was very generous. The old lady should find a younger generation who has his own opinions and is not easily manipulated by others.
After breakfast, Lu Jiaxin went to the telephone office. As soon as the call was connected, she said, "Su Heming, I'm sorry. I gave the things you gave me to someone else."
After Su Heming knew the whole story, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "I thought you called me so early in the morning because of something important. If I give you the things, they are yours. I don't need to tell you what to do with them."
Lu Jiaxin said: "I will always tell you if I give the gift you gave me to someone else."
Su Heming didn't care that she gave the things away, but he was curious about who she gave them to: "Who is so proud that he would let Sister Jiaxin give him jewelry worth tens of thousands of dollars?"
In Pengcheng, a set of mutton-fat jade jewelry costs tens of thousands of yuan, but it can be sold at least five times more in Hong Kong jewelry stores. His brother reminded him to keep all the old items and jade ornaments in his hands and not to give them away or sell them.
Lu Jiaxin said, "It was Ms. Gu. She arranged for someone to come to Sijiu City to draw blood from me and take it back to Hong Kong City for DNA testing to determine whether we are related. She gave me a lot of tonics to eat, and also bought me a color TV and a refrigerator. She gave me so many things, I must return the gift, and what you gave is just right."
"Ms. Gu, no wonder."
