Chapter 327 Birthday Gift
Sun Hongjun was startled by the sudden voice behind him. When he turned around and saw that it was Su Xiaoxiao, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Nothing, just passing by."
After saying that, he walked away with his hands behind his back.
If he hadn't walked so quickly, you wouldn't have noticed he was in such a panic.
Su Xiaoxiao looked inside where he was lying and saw Liu Cuilan picking vegetables in the yard.
She pushed the door open and went in, lifting the packed lunch box in her hand: "Mom, don't bother, let's eat ready-made food today."
When Liu Cuilan saw her holding five lunch boxes, she immediately felt a pang of pain: "It's not a festival, why buy so many dishes? What do you want to eat? Mom can make it for you. How much does it cost?"
Since she took over the contract for the department store cafeteria, Liu Cuilan has had more money, but she is busy paying off debts as soon as she has money and is still reluctant to spend it.
Although he contracted the department store canteen, he was basically only responsible for cooking, which was equivalent to working for the department store. His income was not much different from that of an ordinary salesperson.
Su Xiaoxiao took the dish from her hand: "Mom, have you forgotten what day it is today?"
Liu Cuilan thought for a moment and muttered, "It's the fourth brother's birthday. No, it's still more than a month away. Your eldest brother..."
Seeing that she had thought about it for a while and didn't think of herself, Su Xiaoxiao had no choice but to remind her: "Mom, today is your birthday, happy birthday, you are the birthday star today, you are the biggest today, if there is any work, we will do it, you just take a good rest today."
As she spoke, she took out the cloth bag containing the clothes and said, "This is a birthday present. Go and try it on to see if it fits."
Seeing the clothes in her hands, Liu Cuilan felt even more distressed.
"Why spend all this money? I'm not without clothes to wear."
Su Xiaoxiao knew she would say that, so she stuffed the clothes into her hands and said, "The money has already been spent, it would be a waste if you don't wear it."
Liu Cuilan then took the clothes into the house, carefully stretched them out on the kang, and touched them again and again.
Look, her daughter is so thoughtful. She bought such nice clothes.
She put it on carefully and tried it on, and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.
Su Xiaoxiao waited until Liu Cuilan entered the house, and quietly took out the sewing machine from the small storage space.
As soon as Liu Cuilan went out, she saw a small sewing machine that had appeared in the yard at some point.
Unlike the old-fashioned foot-operated sewing machines, this one looks a bit strange. There is no footrest underneath, only the machine head on top.
When Su Xiaoxiao saw her come out, she pointed at the sewing machine like she was presenting a treasure and said, "Mom, this is your birthday present. Do you like it?"
"This kid is wasting money again. We have a sewing machine at home, why buy this thing?"
This thing doesn't look cheap.
She was just celebrating her birthday, but the third brother bought her clothes and a sewing machine. How much did that cost?
"You spent all your salary on these things. What did you spend your money on? Look how much you spent on these things. Mom will give you the money later."
As Liu Cuilan spoke, her eyes fell curiously on the sewing machine, and she clearly looked like she liked it very much.
Su Xiaoxiao saw that she was saying one thing and thinking another, and she covered her mouth and laughed.
"Mom, it didn't cost much. This sewing machine is defective and the price is very cheap."
"Didn't I help my friend sell a lot of sewing machines before? He just gave this one to me."
Su Xiaoxiao lied with her eyes open, knowing that her mother didn't dislike her, but was just worried about the money.
"For free?"
This is a sewing machine, one of the three major items for a wedding. It's so generous to give it to her without any hesitation.
Liu Cuilan looked around the sewing machine carefully, but couldn't find any defects.
She couldn't help but glance at her own daughter. Could it be that he had fallen in love with her third child, so he found an excuse to give her such a valuable gift?
If that's the case, she can't keep the sewing machine.
As the saying goes, you should be grateful for what you receive from others.
By then, if the other party sends her some more gifts, he will be able to trick her third child into getting her...
Thinking of this, she hurriedly shook her head. No, she would never allow such a thing to happen.
Their family is poor, but they are ambitious.
Thinking of this, she looked at Su Xiaoxiao earnestly and said, "Third brother, we can't take advantage of this. Ask the other party how much money is due. If you don't have enough money, mom will give it to you."
Liu Cuilan was afraid that her silly daughter would be cheated, so she reached into her pocket to take money.
"Mom, I didn't lie to you. This thing was really given to me for free."
"I sold her nearly 200 sewing machines. It's only right that she give me one."
"What? You sold him so much?"
Su Xiaoxiao had never told her about the sale of sewing machines before. She only knew that her third brother had helped the department store buy a batch of sewing machines, which were in great demand.
"Yeah, and she's a lesbian, Mom, don't think too much about it."
Seeing how nervous my mother was just now, I knew she must be overthinking it.
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly explained that what she said was true and the owner of the sewing machine shop was indeed an older sister.
Liu Cuilan was relieved when she heard that it was a female lesbian. Sewing machines are so valuable, and selling one would probably bring in a lot of profit. It's not surprising that the third brother really helped sell so many sewing machines.
"That's fine. Let's see if she can come over for dinner someday when she's free."
Liu Cuilan thought for a moment and spoke, saying that since someone gave them such a valuable gift, they should reciprocate and show some appreciation.
"Okay, I'll tell her when she's free. Don't worry, Mom."
Su Xiaoxiao said casually.
It’s probably impossible to invite someone to dinner, as it’s been several decades.
While the two were talking, Su Jianwen and Su Jianwu walked in from outside with crooked schoolbags on their backs.
As soon as he saw the several lunch boxes on the dining table in the main hall, he immediately rushed forward with his eyes shining.
"Mom, Third Sister, what's the good day today? Why are you eating so well?"
Liu Cuilan looked at her caring third daughter, and then at the two silly boys who only knew how to eat. She didn't like them at all.
"Your third sister is really thoughtful. Look, all you two do all day is eat and cause trouble for me. You don't even remember your mother's birthday. It's like you raised me in vain."
Su Jianwu looked innocent: "Mom, you didn't tell us when your birthday is, how would we know?"
"If I hadn't told you two, wouldn't you have asked? Then how would your third sister have known?"
Liu Cuilan felt even more disgusted when she saw the dirty clothes on the two men.
These two are like naughty monkeys all day long. Their clothes are as dirty as iron and the original color can't be seen.
The two of them didn't dare to say a word. Now their third sister was the apple of their mother's eye, while as for them, they were just moldy hard steamed bread.
"Okay, you two should go wash up quickly. Look at what you've done. If someone knows you've gone to school, they'll think you've gone out to beg for food."
As soon as Liu Cuilan finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
