Chapter 97: A Special Gift
In the villa, Ji Xiuyu stood quietly on the balcony with his hands behind his back. Xia Xizhi came to his side and asked curiously, "It seems that there is something on your mind?"
Ji Xiuyu turned his head sideways and said in a low voice: "A call came from home just now, and tomorrow is grandpa's seventieth birthday." ”
Hearing this, Xia Xizhi's face was surprised: "Grandpa's birthday, why didn't you notify in advance on such an important day?"
His eyes narrowed, and Ji Xiuyu's eyes reflected coldness: "I'm afraid he wants to disappoint grandpa with me, so that grandpa can leave the property in his hands to his youngest son." ”
Listening to his words, Xia Xizhi suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Ji Xiuyu. She can feel that the relationship between Ji Xiuyu and Ji's father is really not good. Holding his arm, Xia Xizhi smiled and said, "Let's go." ”
"Where are you going?" Ji Xiuyu said suspiciously.
"Of course, I'm going to choose a birthday gift, I can't let them succeed in their tricks. Grandpa is the best person for you, of course we have to repay him. As he spoke, Xia Xizhi urged her to leave.
Listening to her words, Ji Xiuyu did not answer, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
Before you know it, the car has arrived in the suburbs and is safely parked in a nondescript shop. Frowning, Xia looked at him puzzled: "Buy here?"
With a faint hum, Ji Xiuyu opened the car door and got out of the car first. Seeing this, Xia Xizhi hurriedly followed. trotted to his side, and the two walked inside side by side. A middle-aged woman saw Ji Xiuyu and stepped forward with a smile: "Xiuyu, what kind of wind is blowing you here today?"
The proprietress was a charming lady, about forty years old, well-maintained, and looked very young. "Aunt Su, long time no see. Came here today and wanted to buy something. ”
Aunt Su came to him and looked at Xia Xizhi standing beside him in surprise: "Is this your wife, she looks really smart." ”
Ji Xiuyu nodded with a smile, pointed at Aunt Su, and said to Xia Xizhi: "Xizhi, she is Aunt Su, my mother's friend before her death. ”
Bowing politely to her, Xia Xizhi said with a smile on his face: "Aunt Su is good." ”
Nodding with satisfaction, Aunt Su said appreciatively: "Polite children, strange people like them." Xiuyu, what do you want to buy?"
"For Grandpa's birthday, I want to prepare a gift for him. Ji Xiuyu explained.
Smiling understandingly, Aunt Su said appreciatively: "Good boy, those who are good to you should also be grateful in return." Come with me, the good stuff over there should have what you need. ”
After speaking, Aunt Su led them to the next room. Taking a closer look, Xia Xizhi realized that the shop with an inconspicuous appearance had a hole inside. A wide variety of goods is neatly arranged on the cabinets, and there is a wide variety of everything.
Seeing that there were still guests coming, Aunt Su left to greet her. Xia Xizhi looked at those things in surprise and said with a sigh: "There are a lot of things here, and I feel that the quality is better than outside." ”
Picking up a piece of jade and weighing it in his hand, Ji Xiuyu replied calmly: "The things here are all collected by Aunt Su everywhere, and she has high requirements, so she must choose the best one to be satisfied." Grandpa's gift, choose from here. ”
Wrinkling his nose and looking at it carefully, Xia Xizhi wondered: "What kind of gift does grandpa want?" I always feel that grandpa has everything he should have, and there are few things that are missing. ”
"Well, just do your part. Ji Xiuyu replied.
Hearing this, Xia Xizhi replied matter-of-factly: "No." If your dad hadn't deliberately embarrassed you, then we could just buy a good gift. But now, we have to give a special gift. ”
Xia Xizhi is a stingy person, others have the heart to target her, she will not endure it silently. For her, wanting to bully Ji Xiuyu is tantamount to bullying her.
Looking at her appearance, Ji Xiuyu had a smile in his eyes, and said dotingly: "Okay, listen to you." You have a good eye, and the difficult task of choosing a gift from your grandfather will be handed over to you. ”
Raising his little head, Xia Xizhi asked with a smile, "Do you know that I have a good eye?"
Raising his eyebrows, Ji Xiuyu said leisurely: "Of course, falling in love with me proves that you have a good eye." ”
Hammering his chest with a smile, Xia Xizhi said coquettishly: "It's so thick-skinned, and you can boast about yourself around the corner." ”
Smiling heartily, Ji Xiuyu's mood seemed happy. As they spoke, the two began to carefully select gifts.
After looking around and not finding something satisfactory, although these gifts are very precious, she always feels that something is missing. She couldn't tell how she felt.
Xia Xizhi turned around and walked towards the next room. Suddenly, Xia Xizhi's eyes lit up. Lying on the cabinet, a series of dolls are neatly arranged.
The dolls are delicately sewn, and the fabrics on the clothes are high-end. It can be seen that the person who sews the dolls is highly skilled, because he can even depict the expressions of each doll vividly, as if it were a realistic version.
I couldn't help but pick up a doll and touch it gently in my hand. "What are you looking at?" Ji Xiuyu's voice suddenly remembered from his side.
Shaking the doll, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, Xia Xizhi smiled brightly: "Is this doll cute? This set is so beautiful, it seems to be a family." ”
Ji Xiuyu glanced at their clothes, picked up two of them, and said, "Well, this pair is a husband and wife, and they should be the parents of the other dolls." If you guessed correctly, the theme of this set of dolls should be four generations in the same house. ”
"Four generations in the ......same hall," Xia Xizhi read silently, "This should be what many old people crave, the older they are, the more they are eager to be lively." ”
Putting the doll down, Ji Xiuyu hummed lightly: "Have you seen anything you are satisfied with?"
With a flash of inspiration in his mind, he looked up at him, and Xia Xizhi said happily: "Why can't we give this set of dolls? Grandpa should be very lonely on weekdays, right? Let this set of dolls accompany him, and this vision is also very beautiful." The old man lacks nothing, and what he lacks most is companionship. ”
Ji Xiuyu listened to her words, and something flashed on his face. Looking at the doll again, there was a hint of emotion in his eyes.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xia Xizhi added: "It's like some old people like to clip dolls, because they are very lonely and want their children to be by their side, so they can only keep clipping dolls." I think grandpa must be lonely too. ”
"Okay, listen to you. Ji Xiuyu nodded in agreement.
Aunt Su carefully packed up the doll and said with a chuckle: "The girl is really discerning, and I also like this set of dolls." This is a very special gift, I believe Xiuyu's grandfather will definitely like it. Xiuyu, I often take your wife to visit when I have time in the future. ”
"Well, definitely. Ji Xiuyu agreed happily. After a brief chat, the two left together.
