Chapter 8 Gift



However, a good night's sleep also had its benefits for him. Writing was like a gift from heaven, and he was particularly inspired. On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, while Zhou Yanzhi was not at home that afternoon, he managed to write 10,000 words without realizing it.

Sprinkle flowers, sprinkle flowers...

Xiao Yu frantically added drama to his own story in the novel author's message box.

Writing goes smoothly and inspiration bursts forth, which makes every novelist happier than the Chinese New Year.

On the evening of the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhou Yanzhi returned from outside at nine o'clock, bringing with him seven or eight bodyguards and a pile of things in each of their hands. It was said that these things were taken from the Zhou family's grandfather, Zhou's uncle, and Zhou Yanzhi's parents.

It was a gift from someone else, and neither the old man nor anyone else in the family could use it. Ask him what he likes and let him use it. If he really can't use it, have Uncle Qi clear it out.

Clean it up?

Xiao Yu looked at the high-end gift boxes that filled the room and felt very unhappy about it.

These gift boxes look very expensive. Doesn't he know he's a country bumpkin? Why did you ask him to clean them up in front of you?

He is the most hard-working, diligent and frugal working people at the bottom.

Like most people, Xiao Yu enjoyed opening presents. Since Zhou Yanzhi told him to do with them as he pleased and throw them away if he didn't want them, he understood that they were all his.

He went out, brought a small stool, and squatted in the gift room to open the gifts.

The room was filled with gift boxes of all sizes, a delight to look at. In his previous life, when his novels flopped, he hadn't bought new clothes for years, and he only had his hair cut every three or four months until he finally let it grow long. Not to mention buying anything online.

Every time he saw those housewives carrying large and small packages of express delivery, he was extremely envious.

No matter what the other person buys, opening the gift and being surprised go hand in hand.

Now that he could open presents at will without spending a penny, every pore in his body was filled with excitement.

He opened the first gift box and took out three small cans of tea.

Tea? The packaging was exquisite. It had to be expensive, right? Definitely. After all, in the capital, anything worth giving as a gift was better than his tea that cost tens, hundreds, or even hundreds of yuan a pack.

He ran out impatiently, went upstairs to find his big teacup, and made himself a cup. As the hot water rushed in, he smelled the refreshing and spring-filled tea fragrance.

He was not very good at tasting food, but just based on the aroma, he thought it was good. When it was ready to be eaten, he took a sip, and sure enough, the fragrance lingered on his lips and teeth, leaving a long aftertaste.

"Good tea! It's decided. From now on, you will be the one to serve me while I write."

While sipping his tea, Xiao Yu quickly unpacked the second gift box. This gift was quite large, and it took him quite a bit of effort to remove the three inner and outer layers of packaging.

Inside was actually a root carving coffee table that was more than one meter long.

He couldn't understand the material of the root carving, but he liked the golden color. The whole thing looked like a golden toad hidden under a huge lotus leaf. There were few traces of carving, and it didn't feel particularly elaborate, but it felt a bit natural.

He thought it would be nice to put this thing in the garden pavilion outside his study, so that he could show off his taste when he needed to relax while typing.

The last time the gardener came to tidy up the garden, he had him plant some strawberries and cherry tomatoes. The weather was good, and he had bought some grown plants from somewhere else, so he figured they would be ready to eat by summer vacation.

Thinking about typing at home during the summer vacation, drinking tea and playing with his phone while picking strawberries and cherry tomatoes to eat, he felt very relaxed!

The gardener also said that he would help him plant blueberries and cherries next year.

I hope he can live here until next year!
