Chapter 2 Birthday Gifts

A woman's helpless voice came from the phone: "It's not easy for him to do that, especially when he gets off work at noon." ”

Qi Shunmei lowered her voice at this time and said, "Second sister, in fact, our mother doesn't want to see him. Since he can't leave his work, he should simply leave him alone. ”

Unexpectedly, the woman on the phone made an angry voice: "Meizi, I think not only our mother doesn't want to see him, but even you have a share, right?" Even if you dislike him again, I have to take him with me!" ”

Doodoo...

A blind tone came from the phone. Qi Shunmei knew that the second sister was angry, so she couldn't help but shake her head helplessly.

Besides, the one who hung up was a woman who looked to be in her thirties. She wore a sleeveless pale green shirt on her upper body, revealing her entire white arms, although she was sitting in the car, but from the upper half of her body, she found that her figure was concave and reasonable, with a pair of curved willow eyebrows hanging on her apple-like face, and a pair of watery clear eyes under the eyebrows. A delicate little nose protrudes below the axis of symmetry of both eyes, and under the nose, the two red lips are perfectly matched. This is a posture and face that makes a man emotional at first sight. In fact, her actual age is more than forty miles, because she was born with a porcelain doll's face that makes her look extremely young. She is a middle school teacher, and because she has classes in the morning and has to pick up her daughter who is preparing for the college entrance examination, she did not go to her parents' house to help in advance.

She was driving a small displacement miniature car, a model designed specifically for women, which seemed small and, above all, affordable.

On her side sat a seventeen or eighteen girl in the passenger cab. She has beautiful eyebrows, wears a half-sleeved school uniform, and looks like a pair of sisters like the woman driving, but outsiders can conclude at a glance - this is a mother and daughter!

"Mom, the third aunt is right. Let's take him to pay a birthday to grandma, it will make grandma unhappy. The girl apparently heard her mother's call with her third aunt and echoed it.

The woman who was driving was called Qi Shunmin, and when she heard that her daughter was also coaxing, she couldn't help but say angrily: "Shut up! You are not allowed to say the same. He's your stepfather and your mother's lover. ”

The girl named Juanzi was the only daughter of Qi Shunmei and her ex-husband. At this time, when she heard her mother's reprimand, she couldn't help pouting: "I won't recognize him as my father." I only have one dad named Zhang Pengfei. I can only have the surname Zhang in my life. ”

Qi Shunmin couldn't help but say gloomily: "No one has forced you to change your surname, because you are already a big girl." But even if you don't call him 'Daddy', you can at least give him some respect, right? He's the man Mommy needs the most. ”

Juanzi bowed her head and was silent, but she looked disdainful.

Qi Shunmin didn't have time to teach his daughter any more lessons, so he dialed a number with one hand: "Learn martial arts, are you home?" I'll go back and pick you up now. ”

Unexpectedly, a middle-aged man's voice came from the phone: "I'm still delivering couriers." It's rush hour. I had to take the opportunity to finish delivering the packages I had. ”

Qi Shunmin couldn't help asking, "Didn't I tell you to go home early and change your clothes?" Why are you so tough? My mother's birthday party started right away. Do you want people to wait for our family? ”

The man who answered the phone was standing next to an electric tricycle with a carport branded with the words 'Yunda Express' on the carport. This is the trade name of a courier company. The man looked to be in his forties, and compared to Qi Shunmin, who was full of youth, his sense of vicissitudes was fully revealed. He was born with two heavy eyebrows, and a pair of eyes under the heavy eyebrows were deep-set, but they shot an unyielding light, which made people feel the struggle and perseverance that this person showed in an environment that was not suitable for him. He was wearing a set of overalls marked with the words "Courier Company". One of his mobile phones was talking to Qi Shunmin, and the other was holding a small cardboard box, and he was at the door of a residential building, waiting for the owner to pick up the package.

When he heard Qi Shunmin's reproach, he laughed and said, "Xiaomin, you and Juanzi don't wait for me." When I'm done delivering the package in my hand, I'll go to your mother's house again. It doesn't matter if she's on her birthday or not..."

"No way!" Qi Shunmin didn't wait for him to finish, and then flatly refused, "This is the first time you have attended my mother's birthday, and you must not be late." Can you please give me a little face? ”

As soon as Juanzi heard her mother speak to the man like this, she couldn't help but twist her face out of the car window, and spit out a word in her mouth - cut!

At this moment, a young woman walked out of the door, she looked at the small cardboard box in the man's hand, and asked, "Is this my package?" ”

As soon as the man saw that someone was coming to pick up the package, he removed his phone from his ear a little, and then asked, "Is your name Xie Xiaofu?" ”

The young woman nodded, "Yes." That's what I called. ”

The man smiled: "This is your email." Please keep it away. ”

The young woman took the package, and when it was verified, she said "thank you" to the man and turned away.

After the man sent the young woman away, he called Qi Shunmin again: "But, I'm going home now, and I'm not in a hurry?" Now you might as well let me finish the few packages I have. ”

Qi Shunmin asked at this time: "Where are you delivering the express now?" ”

The man replied, "I'm in the Jianmin community." ”

Qi Shunmin immediately expressed: "That's good." You stay there and don't move. I'll drive home immediately to pick up your clothes and pick you up at that neighborhood. You can change clothes in my car. As long as we hurry up, we won't miss the time to start the meal. ”

When the man heard this, he couldn't help but look at his tricycle and asked, "What should I do with my tricycle?" ”

Qi Shunmin immediately replied: "You can lock it in that community." ”

Without waiting for the man to speak again, she hung up the phone and sped away to her house.

In fact, she was almost home when she called. So, before three minutes, it was already parked at the door of his own unit.

"Juanzi, you just wait in the car. I'll be right back. Qi Shunmin confessed to his unhappy daughter, and hurriedly ran into the corridor...

At this time, when she got out of the car, she had already shown her lower body - under a blue short skirt, a pair of graceful and round slender**. and white to the feet. A pair of emerald green high-heeled sandals not only outline a pair of plump ankles, but also play the note of 'kick and kick' in the hallway.

Her light posture and beautiful appearance make it impossible for uninformed people to guess her real age. Her brisk movement caused her skirt to blow through the hallway, and after four flights of stairs, she finally reached the door of her house on the fifth floor. After a light breath, she took out the key from the beautiful women's bag she was carrying on her shoulder, and used it to unscrew the door...

When she walked in, she was presented with a three-bedroom apartment in front of her. This is her home. However, without the slightest pause in her own home, she immediately ran to one of the bedrooms, opened one of the wardrobes, and immediately took out a brand-new half-sleeved white shirt and trousers without the slightest wrinkle. She picked up the outfit, and immediately remembered the mental outlook of the courier delivery man after wearing the outfit, and couldn't help but smile pleasantly.

Of course, she just let this thought filter through her mind, and immediately turned around and walked out...

Besides, the courier man is Qi Shunmin's second husband, whose name is Chen Xuewu. At the urging of his daughter-in-law, he did not dare to slack off, and no longer continued to deliver parcels, immediately locked the carriage containing mail parcels, and then placed the tricycle in a parking lot dedicated to the storage of tricycles in a residential area, and locked its wheels with a large lock.

After he was busy with this, he immediately rushed to the gate of the community and waited for his wife to drive to pick him up.

At this time, Tan Lijun, the third aunt of the Qi family, pushed his electric car to greet a girl at the gate of a school. She looks a few years younger than that Juanzi, and she also has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but her face is still childish. She is actually only 14 years old this year and has just entered her first year of junior high school. She is the only daughter of Qi Shunmei and Tan Lijun - Tan Panpan.

"Panpan!" As soon as Tan Lijun saw her come out, he waved to her excitedly.

Tan Panpan didn't show any excitement when she saw her father coming to pick her up, and walked slowly to the electric bicycle.

"Pan Pan get in the car. Grandma is waiting for you to celebrate at home. Tan Lijun beckoned his daughter to put on his electric car with a spring breeze on his face.

Tan Panpan seemed very introverted, although he was not excited at all in front of his father. She lowered her head and raised her legs and rode to the seat behind Tan Lijun.

Before Tan Lijun started the electric car, he told his daughter who kept his distance: "Panpan, hug Dad's back quickly." ”

Tan Panpan hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly reached out his hands and pressed Tan Lijun's two ribs.

Just when Tan Lijun was riding his daughter to the Qi family, Chen Xuejun also waited for Qi Shunmin's small-displacement car.

Qi Shunmin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw her husband waiting outside the door of the community as promised. When she parked the car next to her husband, she immediately beckoned: "Learn martial arts, get in the car quickly." ”

Chen Xuewu saw that Juanzi was sitting in the co-pilot and didn't move, so he had to open the back door and get in.

Qi Shunmin waited for him to close the car door with his hand, then immediately started the car, and turned back to remind: "You hurry up and change into the clothes on the back seat in the car." We don't have much time. ”

Chen Xuewu said "oh", took off his original clothes and pants in a small space, and then changed into a white shirt and dark gray woolen trousers that Qi Shunmin specially took from home.

During this period, Qi Shunmin, who was driving, occasionally glanced back, and couldn't help but smile happily when he saw that his husband was new.

Juanzi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, kept her face strained, indifferent to what was happening behind her.

After Chen Xuewu changed his clothes, he took the initiative to greet her: "Juanzi, you just came back from school, are you still going to school in the afternoon?" ”

Unexpectedly, Juanzi had a gloomy face and didn't pay attention to him.

Qi Shunmin's face couldn't hold back at first, so he said angrily to his daughter: "Girl, what did Uncle Chen ask you about?" ”

Juanzi snorted in her nostrils, still ignoring it.

Chen Xuewu's face was embarrassed for a moment, and then he changed the topic: "Xiaomin, this is the first time I wish the old lady a birthday." Shouldn't I buy some gifts for her old man? ”

Qi Shunmin snorted: "Don't worry." I've got you ready. It's in the back compartment. ”

Chen Xuewu showed a grateful look and asked again, "What kind of gift is that?" ”

"A set of casual clothes for seniors. When you get to the eldest brother's house, you persuade her to wear it. How meaningful it is to let her wear the clothes you bought as your 'new aunt' for her birthday. ”

Chen Xuewu listened to his wife's words, his face was a little feverish, but he didn't say anything in front of his stepdaughter.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Juanzi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly took out a glasses case from the schoolbag next to the seat, and shook it in front of Qi Shunmin's eyes: "Mom, look, this is a pair of reading glasses, and its prescription is just right for grandma to wear." ”

Qi Shunmin was curious because he was driving: "Is it?" Open it up and let me see? ”

Juanzi immediately opened the eye box and brought the pair of glasses to Qi Shunmin's eyes.

Qi Shunmin is very knowledgeable, and when he saw that its grade was not low, he couldn't help asking: "This mirror is of good quality, how much does it cost?" ”

"Three hundred and eighty-eight!" Juanzi blurted out.

Qi Shunmin was surprised: "Where did you get so much money?" ”

Juanzi smiled: "I didn't buy it." I gave it to my grandmother on behalf of someone else. ”

Qi Shunmin and Chen Xuewu in the back row both showed suspicious eyes.

"Juanzi, you tell your mother honestly, who bought this for grandma?" Qi Shunmin asked his daughter sternly.

The reflector in front of the cab glanced at Chen Xuewu behind him, and then said word by word: "I-Dad-Dad!" ”
