"Actually," Su Qinghu said, smiling, glancing meaningfully at the two of them, and said leisurely, "To be honest, our family is not without a penny~~~"
Erdan looked at her, then at the box in front of him, blinked, and felt a chill in his heart. "Mom, are these things... going to be sold?"
Isn’t this a gift package to comfort him and his brother on their business trip?
"Not for sale." Su Qinghu took the water from Dadan, said thank you, took a sip, and then continued to say to Erdan, "This is a gift specially brought back for you and your brother."
The food she chose is fashionable and hygienic, as well as children's books worth collecting. It's suitable for them, and she can also get some by the way.
"Are you going to make handicrafts?" Erdan's heart dropped, and he became happy again. "Let's get up early tomorrow and pick up stones~~~"
He has been eyeing the twenty empty baskets left at home for a long time. Can he finally do something with them and sell them for money?
Excited!
Su Qinghu shook his head. "No, that's too time-consuming and brain-consuming, and there's no guarantee I'll be lucky enough to find a buyer like last time."
Picking up stones, deciding on an idea, finding materials, and shaping them all takes time and brainpower, which is exhausting. However, if you're just trying to cultivate your character, you can definitely continue playing.
Erdan almost blurted out, "Then why do you say we don't have a penny at home? If we don't sell things that can be sold, then isn't it still money?"
At the critical moment, Dadan stood between Su Qinghu and his silly brother, looked at Su Qinghu and said, "Erdan wants to give you a birthday present."
Su Qinghu hadn't finished her glass of water yet, and she wasn't in a hurry. She chatted with the child, "Erdan prepared a birthday present for me. What about you? Have you prepared anything?"
Just as Dadan was about to say no, Su Qinghu took the initiative and said, "No way, no way? Didn't Dadan prepare a birthday present for me?"
Dadan: “…” So annoying!
She's so irritating! She's irritating right after she got back!
Seeing his brother clench his fists in anger, Erdan suddenly remembered that he had just cheated him out of two dollars and made him share his troubles...
Maybe when the new mother isn’t paying attention, his brother will beat him up!
Since he couldn't escape this beating, why not try something big? Maybe his brother would be grateful to him in the end...
"Mom," Erdan took a step to the left and looked at Su Qinghu with a smile, "Brother didn't prepare a birthday present for you."
Su Qinghu followed his "Oh" and acted surprised, "Oh? Your brother prepared a birthday present for me?"
Dadan frowned, his eyes moving between the silly brother and the mischievous Su Qinghu, and finally fell on the silly brother, wanting to hear how he would help him out.
Yes, Dadan did not prepare a birthday present for Su Qinghu.
I didn’t think there was anything wrong with it before, but when Su Qinghu asked me, I suddenly felt that it seemed a bit wrong not to prepare a birthday gift.
We are in a difficult situation right now!
Erdan grinned, ready to run away at any moment, and said with an innocent expression, "Brother's birthday gift is to treat you to a meal."
Su Qinghu suddenly looked at Dadan, who was staring blankly. He put down the cup in his hand, took a few quick steps, held his little face in his hands, and quickly kissed him twice on the forehead. He looked at Dadan with eyes full of emotion, "Thank you, Dadan, I love this birthday gift so much!"
Big Egg: “!!!”
Dadan was stunned. Who would treat her to a meal?! Doesn’t eating cost money?
He has no money!
"Erdan!" Dadan turned around and looked at Erdan with gritted teeth. If he hadn't been concerned about not letting the family's dirty laundry become public and not letting Su Qinghu learn how to beat people up, he would have performed a show of beating up Hanpi with his bare hands right on the spot!
Erdan was already prepared to be punished for two crimes, so he had nothing to fear at this moment.
Seeing that he still had some eagerness in his eyes, Dadan gave him a warning look before looking at Su Qinghu, "I'll treat you to a meal."
Since he was the one treating her to dinner, he was the one making the decisions and he wouldn’t accept any orders!
Su Qinghu saw that Dadan dared to be angry but not to speak, and finally compromised for some reason, but there seemed to be a bit of resistance in the compromise. Suddenly, he felt a little expectant and excited.
Where would the child take her out to eat? What would they eat?
Su Qinghu nodded with a smile, then looked at Erdan, "Where's your birthday present for me?"
Erdan's eyebrows flew up, "You wait."
As he said that, he ran into the bedroom, took out a small handmade box, handed it to Su Qinghu, and then waited proudly for Su Qinghu's reaction when he saw the birthday present.
Su Qinghu took the small cardboard box and glanced at Erdan as she unwrapped it. She didn't know why, but the more Erdan looked like he was waiting for praise, the more she felt her reaction might be completely different from what he expected.
The moment the box was opened, Su Qinghu's expression fell apart.
What is that?
That's a pink flower!
How big of a fan am I? It’s the kind that after taking one look at her, you don’t have the courage to take a second look!
"Do you like it?" Erdan saw that Su Qinghu remained silent for a long time, and quietly put away his arrogant expression. Why did this seem wrong?
Su Qinghu took a deep breath and asked, "Did you choose it for me?"
"Hmm!" Erdan's heart sank when he saw her expression, and he pouted, "I spent fifty cents!"
It took him a long time to choose such a brightly colored one from so many old-fashioned hair ornaments!
"Several aunties were buying hair ornaments the other day, and I snatched this one for you!" Erdan grumbled, "This is the only one left! Another auntie tried to snatch it from me, but she didn't win..."
Su Qinghu cleared his throat and adjusted his facial expression, "That's all? Then-"
Before she could finish, Erdan, eager for approval, spoke first, "Well! This is the only good-looking one left! The other colors are too dark and not good-looking at all!"
Su Qinghu: "What colors are the others?"
"Some are red, almost black, some are the color of blue bricks, some are black, and some are green like water grass that's been dredged up and left to simmer for days..."
Erdan kept talking, and Su Qinghu was imagining what was going on. Then when he stopped, she decided to accept this birthday gift.
She accepted it, but she really couldn't praise it.
The two stared at each other for a while, and Erdan was worried, "Mom, you can use it to tie your hair, right?"
Su Qinghu almost jumped up. What the hell? Why should I just accept it?
"I want to keep it." Su Qinghu said righteously, "This is the first birthday present you gave me. I don't want it to be exposed to the wind and sun."
"Huh?" Erdan was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red and he grumbled for a long time, "Actually, I have another one hidden. I'll give it to you too."
