Chapter 142: The Gift

Song Yu picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip of water, smiled again, and said, "No." After saying that, she explained: "I just remembered something else. ”

She said she remembered something else, but she didn't say what she remembered. Song Mian was silent and didn't ask again.

The two of them sat quietly for a while, and neither of them spoke.

In the evening, Song Yu did not stay at Song Mian's house, and left after dinner. The bus for the New Year was empty, and when she was on the bus, she received a call from Peng Xi, saying a belated Happy New Year.

There are a lot of things going on in the Tang family's old house, and she even forgot to give her the phone. Now I quickly replied with a happy new year.

Peng Xi's voice was cheerful, obviously very happy this year. She asked Song Yu what he was doing during the Chinese New Year.

Song Yu summarized the general matter.

Peng Xi called her bored and asked her why she didn't go out to play.

She has indeed been playing happily these days, partying and playing cards, and the house has always been very lively. The most important thing is that no one urged her to marry this year, so it's no wonder she is so happy.

Someone called her a few minutes after talking to Song Yu, and Peng Xi hung up the phone after saying something to let her go out to have fun.

When I was on the phone, it was lively, and after hanging up the phone, it was instantly deserted. Song Yu remembered that not only did he not call Peng Xi, but he also did not call Ren Yi during the Chinese New Year.

Ren Yi didn't know if he was busy or what, and there was no news during this time. She hesitated slightly, but still dialed Ren Yi's number.

At this time, Ren Yi didn't know what he was doing, and he was hung up before the phone called. She didn't call again, put her phone in her pocket and looked at the night outside the window.

Probably because of the cold, the streets are deserted. Not many people come out to play. However, there are a lot of people in front of the KTV bar.

Song Yu looked outside for a while, closed his eyes and thought about things.

Before she could close her eyes, her phone rang. The call was from Ren Yi. Song Yu took out his mobile phone and fed it.

He didn't answer the phone just now, he should have been busy, and she made a long story short now, "It's nothing, I remembered that I haven't called you for the New Year, so I want to say Happy New Year to you." ”

The dim yellow street lights outside the car window were dim, and there was a slight smile in her voice.

Ren Yi also said Happy New Year and said, "I was driving just now." After a slight pause, he asked, "Where are you?"

Song Yu said that he was in the car and would be home soon.

Ren Yi sighed and said, "If it's okay, get out of the car and sit together, it's too busy at the end of the year, I haven't seen you for a long time." I happened to be out there too. ”

It's still early, but it's just past eight o'clock. Song Yu looked at the time and said yes. Seeing that the bus arrived at the station immediately, I stood up and got off.

Ren Yi seemed to be nearby, and after standing for about ten minutes, his car drove over. He parked his car in the parking lot on the side of the road, and then walked towards Song Yu.

Song Yu was sitting just now, and stood up at this moment.

Ren Yi looked at the time and said, "Find a place to sit." ”

Song Yu responded with a good word. She couldn't find anything to say for a while, but it was a little embarrassing not to speak, so she asked without anything to say: "Are you busy for the New Year?"

The expression on Ren Yi's face was faint, and he said, "There's nothing to be busy with, it's the same every year." ”

His tone was indifferent, and he didn't know if it was because the New Year was not going well.

He never said where his home was, Song Yu was curious in his heart, and asked, "Is your family out of town or just here?"

"It's local. Ren Yi replied.

He obviously didn't want to talk about this topic, so he walked a few steps and saw that there was a clear bar in front of him, so he walked in with Song Yu.

He just wanted to find a place to sit, even though it was a bar. But instead of ordering wine, he just ordered two drinks.

He was generous, and the bartender smiled when he asked for a drink, and it was quickly delivered to the table.

Ren Yi was polite, and simply said thank you to the slight chin of the person.

He took a sip of the drink, then looked at Song Yu and asked, "How was the New Year?"

Both of them almost never ask about each other's lives. Because of the Chinese New Year, I will ask a sentence or two.

The New Year is not the same for Song Yu now, for others it is the New Year, but for her, it is more lonely and desolate than usual.

But she didn't want to say anything about life to an outsider, so she smiled and said, "It's good." ”

Ren Yi nodded, his fingers tapping on the table.

There was soft music in the bar, and the two did not speak for a while. Each thinks about his own business. There were few people in the bar, and there was silence in the dim light.

Song Yu sat for a while and came back to his senses, looked at Ren Yi who was knocking on the cup, and asked, "Will it be very busy after the New Year?"

Ren Yi sighed and said, "It's not busy." ”

Song Yu nodded, and no one spoke anymore.

The two of them sat quietly and didn't feel embarrassed, and after sitting for so an hour, Ren Yi raised his wrist to look at the time, and said, "Let's go, I'll send you back if it's not early." ”

As he spoke, he stood up and walked outside.

Song Yu would let him send it, and when he got outside, he said: "I live not far from here, don't bother me to go back by myself." ”

Ren Yi sighed, looked at the time again, and said, "You wait for me here first." ”

As he spoke, he turned and walked to the left.

Song was puzzled and watched his back disappear into the night.

It was still cold to stand at night, and Song Yu looked at the time after standing for a while. I don't know where Ren Yi went, and he didn't come back after going for more than ten minutes.

Song Yu didn't stand stupidly anymore, and walked over when he saw a newsstand not far away. I bought a magazine and stood at the door waiting for Ren Yi.

The wind is blocked here, and it's not as cold as the roadside when standing.

She looked in the direction that Ren Yi left from time to time, and when she looked over again, she didn't see Ren Yi, but she saw a familiar person, Tang Xu's second brother Tang Chengen.

He was dressed in a gray coat, a scarf around his neck, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and his entire face was almost completely covered.

He wasn't alone, and he was accompanied by a young woman. He probably came out to shop, and although he didn't carry anything in his hand, the woman had several bags in her hand.

probably knew that it was inconvenient for him to stay outside for a long time, and the car was already waiting on the side of the road. When he arrived, he opened the car door and got into the car without waiting for the woman to come forward.

The woman didn't mind, so she put her things in the passenger seat first, and then sat in the car.

But in just a minute or two, the car quickly drove away. It was as if the scene just now was just Song Yu's hallucination. She couldn't help but shake her head vigorously.

The owner of the newsstand was a middle-aged woman in her forties, and when she saw Song Yu looking at her curiously, she said, "Do you know those two just now?"

Song Yu smiled and said, "I guess I made a mistake." ”

The relationship between the two just now is not ordinary, Tang Chengen and Xue Zhaoying have a good relationship, he shouldn't do anything to be sorry for Xue Zhaoying.

The boss snorted and said, "Don't make a fool of yourself, half of the man's face is covered." What can the two have a legitimate relationship? But the eldest sister told you that if you are not a particularly close person, don't bother with this kind of nossy matter, otherwise if you don't manage it well, you will make people complain. ”

Song Yu smiled and didn't talk.

The boss didn't say anything more and continued to watch her TV series.

The road was cold and quiet, Song Yu couldn't read the magazine in his hand anymore, and he unconsciously walked up to his mind when he remembered the scene just now.

The two of them were not far from her just now, and she was not so dizzy that she couldn't see clearly. Although she covered half of her face, she was also very sure that it was Tang Chengen. How could it be such a coincidence that someone who looks alike?

Before she could sort this matter out, she saw Ren Yi coming over from afar. She didn't think about it anymore and walked over.

Ren Yi carried a box in his hand, handed it to her when he saw her, and said, "A belated New Year's gift." ”

He went here just now to buy a gift for her, Song Yu couldn't help but rub his eyebrows, and said, "I'm not a child, what do you want for a New Year's gift?"

Ren Yi smiled faintly and said, "Take it, it's not a valuable thing." After a slight pause, he continued: "I don't know what you like, this is a transfer bracelet recommended by the clerk, saying that it can make people safe, healthy and happy in the new year." ”

Song Yu couldn't help laughing and said, "Do you still believe this?"

Ren Yi said simply: "It's a good sign." ”

He knew that Song would not accept valuable things, and the bracelet was indeed not valuable. It makes sense to use it as a New Year's gift. He has always been measured, and naturally there will be no overstepping.

Although it is not valuable, I did not prepare a New Year's gift for others. I didn't even think about it. But if the things have already been bought, it would seem too stingy not to accept them, so Song Yu put them away generously and thanked Ren Yi.

Naturally, she wants to return the gift after receiving someone's things, and she is thinking about what kind of gift is more appropriate to return.

She didn't let Ren Yi send her, Ren Yi didn't insist, watched her get into the car, and then went back to the parking lot to drive. Sitting in the car, he didn't move for a while, closed his eyes and leaned back on the car seat, and only after a while did he reopen his eyes and start the car.

Song Yu sat in the car, looking at the bag in his hand, his brain couldn't help but hurt. She had no experience in buying gifts and had no idea what to buy in return.

Thinking about it, she thought of Tang Chengenlai, and she put this matter aside. I'm going to wait until I go to buy and then ask the guide what is more appropriate.

Although she thinks that the person is Tang Chengen, she can't verify this matter. She and Xue Zhaoying usually don't contact each other, so it's a little weird to call her. And even if he calls back to the old mansion, even if he is not in the old mansion, it can't prove that the person just now is him.

This matter actually has nothing to do with her, Song Yu thought about it for a while and didn't think about it anymore.

When he returned home, Tang Xu hadn't come back yet, and he didn't know where he went. Song Yu didn't call, and he couldn't sleep for a while and went into the studio.

For the next two days, neither she nor Tang Xu went to the old mansion. She originally wanted to prepare to invite Aunt Tang and Wen Yi Tang Yao to gather at home, but she received a call from Wen Yi before she could call. She said that they had moved to a new house, so Song Yu and Tang Xu went over to have a lively evening scene.

A few years ago, I said that the old lady did not agree to let Tang Chengen's family move out, and within a few days, they even moved their home. I don't know what happened in the past two days.

Wen Yi knew what she was thinking, and said lightly: "Grandma's aunt persuaded her." The house is ready-made, and I can't be busy with your eldest brother's affairs after work, so I moved first while I had time. ”

Song Yu nodded, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Have they moved too, second sister-in-law?"

If Xue Zhaoying didn't move, it would be impossible for them to move out. Wen Yi hummed at this time and said, "I heard that they will go back to your second sister-in-law's house for the time being." ”

In that old mansion, there were people eager to come out. And some people are reluctant to leave.

Song Yu didn't care where Xue Zhaoying lived, and didn't continue on this topic. Ask Wen Yi if there's anything she needs help with.

Wen Yi had already made a call to her, and she didn't need any help. Just let her and Tang Xu go over on time, and Aunt Tang will also go over when the time comes.

Song Yu responded to it.

It's a move to a new house, and you have to prepare a gift. Song Yu didn't know if Wen Yi had called Tang Xu, so after hanging up the phone, he called him and asked what gift was more appropriate to prepare.

Tang Xu had already received a call from Tang Yao, and the gift said that he would prepare, so Song Yu didn't have to prepare anything. He will come back to pick her up later.

Song Yu responded and hung up the phone.

He's pretty reliable today, and he'll be back at three o'clock in the afternoon. In the parking lot downstairs, I called Song Yu and asked her to go downstairs.

Wen Yi and Tang Yao's house is in the community near the school, with lush flowers and lush greenery, and a quiet environment. The two took the elevator upstairs, and after pressing the doorbell, Wen Yi quickly opened the door, and saw Tang Xu carrying a gift in his hand and said, "Didn't you let you bring nothing? ”

There was some reproach in her tone.

Tang Xu smiled and said, "When you move to a new house, of course you have to prepare gifts." After speaking, he looked around the room and asked, "Hasn't the eldest brother come back yet?"

Wen Yi looked at the time and said, "He has something to do and goes out for a while, and he should come back soon." ”

The house is not big and warmly furnished. After making tea for Song Yu and Tang Xu, Wen Yi went to the kitchen to get busy.

Song couldn't sit still, so he went to the kitchen to help her.

The house should have been furnished before they started, and it was very cozy. The decorative dishes at home are very exquisite, and everywhere shows the careful care of the owner.

Tang Yao didn't come back long, and Aunt Tang was the latest to arrive. I also brought a gift.

She is not the same as in her home, the smile is faint. The dinner was very rich, the atmosphere at the table was not as relaxed as imagined, and Tang Lan didn't say much. Occasionally, when she needed to answer, he would nod his head and say a few words.

After eating dinner and leaving, Wen Yi prepared her own desserts, packed them in exquisite boxes, and asked Aunt Tang and Song Yu to take them back as snacks.

Neither refused.

All the way to the parking lot, when Song Yu was about to say goodbye to Tang Lan, she said gently: "Ah Yu go to the car first and wait for a while, Tang Xu and I have something to discuss." ”

Although Song Yu didn't know what the two were going to talk about, she said that she knew that it was inconvenient for her to be there, so she said hello and walked to the side of the car and sat in the car.

Tang Xu and Aunt Tang did not go far, they just stood in place. I don't know what the two of them talked about, Tang Lan's face was not relaxed, and after talking for a while, he saw Tang Xu take out a cigarette and smoke.

There was no one in the parking lot, and the two stood for half an hour before Tang Lan got into her car. Tang Xu stood in place for a moment before walking to the car.

There was no expression on his face at this point, and he started the car after getting into the car.

Tang Lan didn't come over to say hello to Song Yu again, and the car stepped out of the parking lot first.

On the way back, neither of them spoke, and Song Yu could feel that Tang Xu's mood didn't seem to be very good. It wasn't until a while that it regained its usual faint appearance.

Time flies quickly, and it's time to go to work in a flash. In the past few days, Song Mian sent Song Ting and Zhang's mother to his newly found place, and took the two to familiarize themselves with the environment.

As for the transfer of schools, he told Song Ting in advance. Song Ting did not exclude it.

He has always been sensible, although Song Mian didn't say it, he also knew that it would not be for nothing to change him to a new school.

After arranging Song Ting, Song breathed a sigh of relief.

When she got home that day, Tang Xu had already returned, she didn't say a word, she was going to go to the kitchen to cook, but just when she arrived in the living room, she heard Tang Xu ask, "Song Ting is looking for a new school?"

He would know about this sooner or later, but he was still a little surprised that he knew about it so quickly. He knew so quickly that he had been following the matter all along.

There was no need for her to hide it, so she nodded and said yes.

Her palms clenched unconsciously. originally thought that Tang Xu would sneer a few words, but he didn't. He didn't say a word.

Song was afraid of what he would do if he found out, and he was also uneasy when he saw that he was silent. I don't know what he's up to the point.

She wanted to see Tang Xu, but going to see him inevitably meant that she was weak-hearted. She restrained herself from looking, stood for a while and saw that he did not speak, and then went to the kitchen.

Until she cooked and the two of them sat down at the table, Tang Xu did not express any opinion on this matter, nor did he say that Song Yu did not inform him in advance.

The atmosphere at the table was a little weird, Song Yu didn't have any appetite, and ate very slowly.

After the meal was over, Tang Xu, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "Don't you know how to draw?" I have a customer here looking for a part-time employee, if you are interested, you can call and ask." ”

As he spoke, he took out a business card and pushed it in front of Song Yu. didn't say what people were looking for people to do, and probably even he didn't know.

Song Yu didn't know what medicine was being sold in his gourd, so he looked at the business card and didn't say anything.
