The person who gives the gift also needs a "gift" in essence. This exchanged gift can be emotional value or something else.
With this in mind, Sun Lifang maintained a smile throughout the entire process.
The ring won't be delivered immediately. We need to measure your finger size here, and you can pick it up a week later.
But a week later, they were no longer there. How can I pick up the goods?
"I'll come over again then."
Zhou Yunshi wasn't good at saying sweet words; he preferred to express himself through actions.
I glanced at my watch; it was getting late.
After paying the deposit, the salesperson handed the receipt to Sun Lifang and praised her in broken Hong Kong-accented Mandarin, "Madam, your finger would look so beautiful with a ring."
"Thanks."
Sun Lifang smiled politely and put the voucher into her bag; her mind was elsewhere.
She only noticed it when her husband checked his watch just now—
Zhou Yunshi's watch is a bit old.
It's clear that this watch has been carefully maintained; the strap isn't genuine leather and has some cracks, but the dial is polished to a shine.
My husband's birthday is in a few days.
I was still thinking about what to give as a gift, but now I have an idea.
However, Zhou Yunshi never celebrated his birthday, so Sun Lifang started to think outside the box—
In fact, she herself doesn't have the habit of celebrating her birthday.
It's like birthdays are something only children can celebrate.
Western holidays.
"Why would an adult go and join in the fun?" That's what she seemed to say in her past life.
But she has never celebrated her daughter's birthday.
It wasn't until the twins (a boy and a girl) were born that we started celebrating their birthdays every year.
At that time, Zhou Xinya was already a young girl.
She pretended to be disdainful and talked back to the adults, her eyes were red but she could only say hurtful things.
Everyone seemed to be carrying countless bayonets, making proper communication impossible.
Sun Lifang had considered celebrating her daughter's birthday, but her daughter's prickly attitude...
"Am I being a fool, rushing to celebrate your birthday?"
"Whether I love you or not, I don't care! I don't need it!" Zhou Xinya said coldly, slinging her schoolbag over her shoulder and walking away, arguing with an adult in public.
Even Zhou Yunshi, who doted on his daughter, ignored her at that time.
In her past life, Zhou Xinya was like a discarded pawn, thrown out to "calm down."
There is no love between us, only a constant tug-of-war.
At the time, Sun Lifang didn't think anything of it.
In my hometown, only elderly people celebrating their birthdays or newborns turning one year old celebrate their birthdays; otherwise, no one celebrates their birthdays.
"You're an adult now, why would an adult celebrate a birthday?"
Sun Lifang herself has never celebrated her birthday and has never experienced the meaning of "birthday".
But things are different now.
Celebrating a birthday is also a way of expressing love.
It's actually telling others—
You deserve to be treated with care.
If she had the chance to go back to that day, Sun Lifang would definitely calm herself down, not be angered by her child's attitude, and rush up to pull her daughter away.
Apologize to her: "Mommy was wrong, can you understand Mommy?"
My mother's mother didn't celebrate my mother's birthday either, so let's learn slowly, okay?
Slowly learn to warm each other's hearts and redeem one another.
In fact, Sun Lifang knew very well that her daughter was soft-hearted and incapable of arguing.
This is very similar to myself.
If she catches up and says a few more words, her daughter will definitely start crying first.
Zhou Xinya is the type who doesn't argue.
They'll burst into tears after just a few words during an argument; they're loud, but they're actually very soft-hearted.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been by his bedside when he died in his previous life.
Why bother?
Why treat your own family like this?
Thinking of this, a hint of tears welled up in Sun Lifang's eyes.
Having been reborn, she wanted to do everything she could to be good to her daughter, not only materially but also spiritually.
Let her become a true "rich and beautiful" woman.
"What are you thinking about?" Zhou Yunshi's voice rang in my ears as I walked into the elevator in a daze.
Sun Lifang snapped out of her thoughts and sniffed.
"Is it because you're worried about the money?" You cried because you were so worried about the money.
Zhou Yunshi stared intently at his wife and said, "It's alright, I'll earn more in the future."
after--
Yes, they still have a future.
Thinking of this, Sun Lifang nodded and got into the passenger seat.
If we say that in our past lives we were all being human for the first time, then we are being human for the second time now.
We must learn from history and avoid making the same mistakes again.
The car stopped in front of the private hospital, and Sun Lifang helped her husband out of the car.
There were four girls in pink nurse uniforms waiting at the door, and even more exaggeratedly, a female nurse pushed a wheelchair over for her to sit in.
Sun Lifang waved her hand, "I can leave."
After saying that, the nurses seemed about to say something more, but Zhou Yunshi sensed his wife's somewhat downcast mood, so he gestured for them to lead the way.
Sun Lifang walked along the corridor, still reflecting.
In fact, her current living conditions are better than those of many women.
We should not be greedy for any other wealth or fame.
As long as family members are healthy, everything else is just icing on the cake.
With that in mind, Sun Lifang no longer considered abandoning her child to go out and earn money.
When you work for someone else, you definitely need to have a fixed job.
If you want freedom in terms of time, then you have no choice but to start your own business.
Lost in thought, I suddenly felt my hand being squeezed.
Only then did she come to her senses. Zhou Yunshi said to her, "Go inside, I'll wait for you outside."
Inside was the women's changing room. While waiting, an assistant nurse gently explained the procedure with a form beside me: "You'll be doing NT non-invasive DNA testing soon, which is basically a neck scan."
