The 28th day of the twelfth lunar month was Li Xiyue’s 19th birthday.
In the morning, when she opened her eyes, she saw that the bedside was filled with gifts, including clothes, skirts, jewelry, cameras, watches, etc. There were so many that she couldn't see them all.
She sat up and touched the gifts one by one, feeling deeply moved.
She has a lot of things, but what's important is the thought behind them. These gifts are not cheap, and you can tell that the Chu family has carefully selected them.
There was a knock on the door, and Chu Xun's gentle voice came, "Yueyue, are you awake?"
"woke up."
Chu Xun walked in holding a bouquet of flowers, "Yueyue, happy birthday."
"It's really beautiful." Li Xiyue took it. It was a big bouquet of red roses, bright red and fragrant.
Chu Xun smiled and asked, "Do you like it?"
"I like it." Li Xiyue looked happy.
Chu Xun looked at the gifts and told her who sent them.
The camera, skirt, and watch were gifts from my cousins and their sisters-in-law, and the jewelry was from my uncles and aunts.
He finally picked up a box and opened it, "This is from Grandpa."
Li Xiyue took it and found it was a set of jewelry, including bracelets, hairpins, hairpins, necklaces, earrings, etc. It was very complete and all inlaid with rubies.
This set of jewelry is obviously an old item and is priceless.
"Axun, this is too expensive, isn't it?"
Chu Xun smiled and said, "This is for you. Grandpa is willing to give it to you no matter how valuable it is. Grandpa hopes that you can wear this set of jewelry when we get married."
Li Xiyue buried her face in his chest shyly.
"Get up, I'll take you to the sanatorium." Chu Xun said softly.
Li Xiyue was surprised, "Axun?"
Can I still go see grandpa today?
"We'll go to the sanatorium in the morning, I'll take you out to play in the afternoon, and then come back in the evening to have dinner with grandpa and the others." Chu Xun said his arrangements.
Li Xiyue nodded and quickly got up to wash up.
She changed into a black velvet dress given by her sisters-in-law, a red flannel coat, black pants, velvet-soled leather shoes, a red scarf, half-tied her hair, wore a red headband, and picked out a pair of pearl earrings.
Chu Xun, who was waiting at the door, turned around when he heard footsteps. The beautiful woman came into view. His heart skipped a beat, and then the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, "Yueyue, you look so beautiful today."
"Don't I look good normally?" Li Xiyue asked coquettishly while hugging his arm.
Chu Xun wore a high-necked black sweater inside, a military coat outside, and a pair of thick-soled velvet leather shoes today. He looked tall, handsome and extraordinary.
He laughed and said, "It looks good usually, but it looks the best today."
"I will look even better in the future." Li Xiyue was unconvinced.
Chu Xun was full of doting, "Yes, you are getting prettier every day."
"Pfft." Li Xiyue laughed and shook his arm, "Axun, let's go to the sanatorium."
She really wanted to see her grandfather and talk to him.
Chu Xun nodded, held her hand and went downstairs.
Chu Xingbang was reading the newspaper downstairs, while Quan Yicheng and Aunt Tian went to buy vegetables.
"Yueyue, happy birthday." Chu Xingbang smiled lovingly.
Li Xiyue ran downstairs, came to the old man, and hugged his arm, "Thank you, Grandpa Chu."
"No thanks, no thanks. Do you like the gift I gave you?"
"I like it, but it's too expensive."
Chu Xingbang said with a smile: "It's nothing. When you two get married, grandpa will give you the most precious treasure in the bottom of the box."
Wow.
Even Chu Xingbang said it was a treasure, so it must be very valuable.
Li Xiyue smiled so hard that her teeth were visible.
Knowing that they had plans, Chu Xingbang didn't waste any time and asked them to go out quickly and come back early for dinner.
Quan Yicheng drove the family car to buy groceries, so Chu Xun drove a military jeep to take Li Xiyue out.
"Grandpa."
When they arrived at the sanatorium, Li Xiyue rushed towards Liao Qingshan who was practicing Tai Chi.
"Yueyue, why are you here again? Are you going back to the countryside?" Liao Qingshan hugged his granddaughter, remembering that she said she came to see him before going back to the countryside.
Li Xiyue shook her head. "No, Grandpa, have you forgotten what day it is today?"
"Of course I didn't forget. Today is my baby Yueyue's birthday." Liao Qingshan had been counting the days, but it was in vain because he couldn't go out and celebrate his granddaughter's birthday.
But he didn't expect that his granddaughter would come to see him.
"Come in quickly, it's cold outside." Liao Qingshan pulled Li Xiyue into the house and ignored Chu Xun.
Chu Xun was used to it, so he went to see Chu Ruilin first and let the two of them talk alone.
"Oh, my Yueyue has grown up and become a big girl. Look, she is so beautiful." In the room, Liao Qingshan pulled Li Xiyue to look her over, full of admiration.
Li Xiyue said playfully, "Grandpa, I'm nineteen this year."
"Time flies. When you first came to me, you were just two years old, so tiny, and you always followed me quietly. If I wasn't paying attention, I could kick you down as soon as I turned around. Back then, you cried and burrowed into my arms, calling me mom, and you even covered me in tears and tears."
Li Xiyue was embarrassed, "How could that be?"
"I taught you over and over again to call my grandpa, and then you stopped calling my mom. But you couldn't remember that word, and you kept calling me grandpa, grandpa, and chasing me..."
"Pfft——" Li Xiyue burst into laughter, "Is this true?"
Was she so naive as a child?
"When you grew up a little, you finally learned to call me grandpa, but you were stubborn. When I asked you to study medicine, you were tired. When I asked you to practice Tai Chi, you refused to get up early. You often cursed me behind my back as an old man."
Li Xiyue protested, "Nonsense, I didn't do that, Grandpa, you are slandering me."
She swore that she might have been a little stupid as a child, but she was never immoral.
Liao Qingshan looked as if he was mistaken and continued to reminisce about the past. "I watched you grow up day by day, from this height to this height, and now you are already this big. How could time pass so quickly? In the blink of an eye, my Yueyue has become a big girl."
"Grandpa..." Li Xiyue hugged him, "Thank you."
Thank you for raising me, teaching me medicine, loving me, and treating me like your sweetheart.
In this world, apart from her deceased mother, the person who loves her the most is her grandfather, even Chu Xun has to stand aside.
Liao Qingshan's eyes welled up with tears. "Why thank you? Your safe growth is grandpa's greatest hope and the best reward for you. If your mother knew, she would rest in peace."
