Chapter 81 Return Gift
After finishing a pleasant meal, Suning fulfilled his promise and played with Xiaoqiu for a while. Then, he said goodbye and left the Zhang family amid the earnest instructions of the two elders.
Zhang Qi, who was responsible for escorting her back to the hotel, took more than two hours to complete a journey that should have taken less than an hour.
As for what they talked about and discussed on the way, Zhang Qi did not answer his parents' questions when he got home.
…
Back in the hotel room, Suning, who had been unable to rest, held his forehead as he thought of the message at the front desk.
That's good, now that we can solve the problem together, we can prepare for the return journey with peace of mind.
He took off his bra and changed into comfortable pants. He also replaced the large gauze on the back of his head with a new one, and then slipped into the space.
We arrived at a natural cave on the hillside of Taoyuan Mountain, which was filled with mahogany boxes.
Fortunately, she sorted the things by category when she moved them here, otherwise it would have been very troublesome to just open the boxes when I wanted to take something.
He walked straight to the area where gold, silver, jewelry and jade were stored, and casually opened the two outermost boxes.
He squatted down and began to choose carefully.
"The imperial green jade bracelet given by the grandmother of the Yan family... this warm jade should be quite suitable for the elderly."
Putting the warm jade in his hand aside, Su Ning began to pick out a piece of jewelry suitable for Aunt Yan and Sister Yan Xi respectively.
As for the men of the Yan family, after thinking it over again, she decided to give them jade seals of different textures.
In order to avoid favoritism, this gift must also include a share for Yan Bei and Fu Jiaming.
I successfully picked out and packed all the return gifts, and without disturbing the small circle that were having fun by the stream, I quickly left the space on time.
…
J District Compound, Yan Family.
It was a rare occasion for the whole family to get together. Xiang Mingyu, who usually complained about the coldness of her home, was filled with joy when she saw the living room that was almost full.
that is…
At first glance, including that tomboy in my family, it's like stepping into a Buddhist temple. It would be perfect if there were more "beauties" to balance them out.
The two old mothers who were worried about their children's life-long affairs looked at each other and immediately understood each other's thoughts and put them into action immediately!
"An An!"
Yan An, who was the first to win the lottery, seemed to be used to being named first. He answered helplessly under the sympathetic eyes of his brother and sister-in-law, "Mom, can we not hold a criticism meeting today?"
"What kind of criticism meeting? We want to tell you something."
"Who wants to talk about you?"
"Then tell me, what's the matter?"
"Your aunt Hongcai's daughter just graduated from college and is planning to return to Shanghai to work. You..."
He pressed his swollen forehead hard, and he knew he couldn't escape. Yan An turned his head and looked towards the door: I wonder if it's too late to leave now?
"Mom, I remember I..."
“Boom—”
He coughed lightly and smiled to Mingyu, "This door is really strange today. You can only enter but not leave."
Well done!
This wave of cooperation was quite tacit. Sun Yi gave a look of approval to her sister-in-law who closed the door and said something harsh to her.
The other brothers of the Yan family no longer had time to watch the fun: Oh no, is this going to be the Hongmen Banquet today?
You said you were watching Xiaoqi's play, and you became a character in the play, right?
…
Comrade Yan Bei, who was waiting outside the gate of the compound, couldn't help but feel a deeper fog in his eyes when he thought of the whole family swarming towards his house as if they were attracted by the smell.
"Hey, don't look at me like that!"
Fu Jiaming's scalp suddenly felt tingling and he took a few steps back in fear.
Little did he know that just two phone calls would cause such a huge chain reaction.
Will the crazy people in the Yan family rush into the house one after another?
"I really didn't mean to let that slip!"
Fu Jiaming was almost ready to swear to the heavens. He took another big step back and said, "Who knew that Brother Yu would suddenly appear behind me without making any noise?"
"Shut up."
"hold head high."
Putting his five fingers together to make a sign of retracting, Fu Jiaming glanced at him cautiously and estimated in his heart: if he, who was lame, and Yan Bei, who had broken ribs, really fought...
I subconsciously poked my cheek with my tongue and came to a conclusion -
It’s not certain who can beat whom!
Should we take this opportunity to try our best? Maybe we can turn the tables and sing a song.
"What's that expression on your face?"
"Well, I'll help you keep an eye on the corner, keep an eye on the corner!"
Just meeting his gaze, he immediately backed down reflexively, and Fu Jiaming was speechless.
When he saw that familiar figure, he almost couldn't control his tears of joy, and he limped over quickly, "Savior..."
"Hehe~Puh~"
"Suning, you are finally here!"
"You...were you spitting at me just now?"
"Pooh, pooh myself!"
Fu Jiaming slapped his mouth lightly and looked at her with tears in his eyes, "Suning, you need help later!"
"?"
What's wrong with this person after not seeing him for a day?
With eyes full of mosquito coils, Su Ning glanced at Yan Bei who walked up to him a step slower: What's going on with him?
"Don't pay attention to him, he's having a seizure."
"Ahem~"
Yan Bei raised his hand and clenched his fist before coughing uncomfortably, "Um, Suning..."
"?"
No, what happened today?
Were they both ill? Or did the cakes and biscuits mixed with spring water cause them to have problems?
"What...what?"
She might find that shy look offensive to Fu Jiaming, but when it came to Yan Bei, she actually found it somewhat... cute?
Eh~
Rubbing the goose bumps on his arms that had appeared because of this thought, Su Ning's face was stiff, "So what happened?"
…
As I listened to the two of them talking about the general situation, my originally clear mind began to become confused.
In other words, because of Fu Jiaming's two phone calls, not only the Yan family members I met last time, but also Uncle Yan Bei's family came?
This is no longer flattering, it's terrifying!
Why is it that the gratitude for saving my life, which has already been expressed, is getting more and more intense, and seems to be unable to be stopped?
"Sorry Suning, if you don't feel comfortable there let's go somewhere else."
Knowing full well that the family's real motive was not to drink, Yan Bei was indeed afraid that such a big scene would scare people, so he thought that the suggestion he blurted out was a good one.
"The nearest Jingjiang Hotel has a chef who makes excellent Shandong cuisine. Why not..."
"Don't bother."
"No trouble."
Seeing the seriousness in his eyes, Su Ning thought about the enthusiastic Yan family. If he added one, two, three, four, five, hiss~
"Then, what about the person you made an appointment with before?"
"Don't worry, Jiaming can handle it. It won't be a problem if we just change the meeting place."
He looked at Fu Jiaming and saw that he nodded vigorously without objection.
She secretly loosened her hands that were tightly holding the bag, and inexplicably felt that she had escaped a disaster. She said no more and agreed to Yan Bei's solution.
"Well, shall I make a phone call first?"
"Sorry for the trouble, Jiaming."
"Well, this is all my fault. What trouble are you talking about? I'll be back soon. Wait for me!"
"Wait, together..."
I've already reached the door. It would be impolite not to go in and say something when I know that my family and elders are waiting for me.
Besides, she was holding a return gift in her hand, so she had to say hello before leaving.
"How can he run so fast with a broken leg?"
"Perhaps it's because your secret medicine is too effective, Suning. My bones are itching badly."
Silently facing the person who was talking nonsense in a serious manner, Suning nodded, "Oh, that's good."
…
As she expected, as soon as she entered the Yan family's gate, she was surrounded enthusiastically by several elders. Su Ning, with a smile on her face that was almost stiff, distributed the prepared gifts to everyone one by one.
Of course, she did not forget about Uncle Yan's family of five, so she simply took a canvas bag that was big enough to hold the gifts so that she could do it secretly.
After receiving some words of thanks and taking the opportunity to explain the temporary change of location, Suning successfully escaped the encirclement and walked out of the Yan family's gate, and heaved a sigh of relief.
Yan Bei, who followed closely beside him, rubbed the thin calluses on his hands and said with a smile, "So scary?"
"It's not scary."
She couldn't stand this kind of enthusiasm, especially the way the elders of the Yan family looked at her as if she was looking at a big piece of meat that was about to be put into their bowl...
Amused by his own inexplicable metaphor, Su Ning smiled and did not continue to explain. Instead, he handed him the portion prepared for him and Fu Jiaming.
"This is for you and Jiaming."
"We...both of us too?"
"Of course, we are all friends, so if I'm preparing gifts, of course I have to prepare your share."
"Thank you then?"
They smiled at each other. Yan Bei looked at the gift, which was only different in color and texture from others. His mind was in turmoil: When can he become the only one...
"Yan Qi, Suning is done, we can set off now!"
