Chapter 3: Birthday Greetings

On Friday, Su Yan, who came home from school in the afternoon, saw Su's father and mother sitting on the sofa with a subtle expression.

The corners of Su Yan's eyes jumped, wouldn't it? Quarrelsome?

"What's wrong?" Su Yan put down her schoolbag and asked curiously. It would have been a strange thing if there had been a quarrel, and since she had woken up again, she had never seen her father and her mother blush.

"Your grandfather is calling." Dad Su smiled, "Say that he will have a drink for his sixtieth birthday next weekend, and let us all go back." ”

Su Yan didn't know how to react when she said "oh", she didn't have any feelings with her grandparents, but she didn't know what Su's father thought.

When she used to live in the village, Su Yan either stayed at home or ran around with Su's father, and then moved to the town and then to the city, basically never met her grandparents a few times. I don't know if it was Su Yuanhe and Su Yuanjiang's persuasion or what, anyway, when Su's father gave New Year's gifts over there according to the regulations a few years ago, they were all thrown out, but they have been accepted in the past few years. Anyway, Dad Su sent it, and he didn't care too much about whether he received it or not, he went by himself every time, and didn't let Su's mother and children follow, so as not to hurt them by saying anything excessive.

Su's father and Su's mother were not arguing just now, but after answering the phone, the two of them were quite stunned, looking at each other for a while and not knowing how to react.

Su Rui and Su Xiang went home on the weekend, and today Su Kai came back alone, and when Su Kai came back and talked to him, the response was also an "oh" word.

On the opinion of whether to go back, all three of them said that they would listen to Su's father about this matter. In private, Su Yan still wanted to go back, after all, Grandpa Su took the initiative to call, and he was already lowering his posture. And after all, it is Su's father's blood relative, and this face still has to be given. If you are angry for a while and really don't go back, then you really can't reconcile for the rest of your life, will Su Dad regret it in the future and don't say it, Su Dad is now a well-known entrepreneur in Haicheng, and it is not good for his reputation to spread this matter. Su Yan would not allow such a thing to happen.

Dad Su thought about it: "Then go back!" ”

Next weekend is the day of the birthday banquet, Su's father and Su's mother are usually busy people, and this weekend they will prepare the birthday gift.

The next morning, while having breakfast, Su's father and Su's mother were discussing what to buy.

"Send some gold!" Su's mother said that she didn't have much contact with her parents-in-law, but the elderly generally like gold.

"Okay!" Dad Su nodded, "I'll go to the Haicheng Department Store later." ”

Su Kai swallowed the freshly baked egg tart that his sister had just made this morning, and raised his hand: "I'm going too!" ”

Su Yan put the four cups of milk tea that had just been mixed with more milk and less sugar in the tray in front of everyone one by one, and sat down next to Su Kai: "What kind of mess are you making, adults and children don't care!" ”

Su Kai smiled and said nothing.

"Let's go together!" Su's father said, "We haven't gone shopping together as a family for a long time. ”

Su Ma also nodded: "You two guys are growing fast, I see that last year's clothes are not very suitable for wearing, and now it is the time for the change of seasons, so I simply go to buy some new clothes." ”

"Don't you want your children to grow taller?" Su's father laughed.

"Okay." Su Yan nodded. Now her height has reached 168, and most of last year's clothes were shorter, except for some who bought a larger size. Originally, she thought that No. 2 Middle School would require students to wear school uniforms to school, and there were few opportunities to wear regular clothes, so she was not in a hurry to buy them again. Except for the flag-raising ceremony on Monday, all students were required to wear school uniforms to return to school, and the other four days were free to dress. At this time, the school uniforms are quite ugly, and it is not the school's requirements, of course, Su Yan will not wear them to school stupidly, so it is necessary to buy some clothes.

After arriving at Haicheng Department Store, Su Yan pulled Su Kai: "Dad, Mom, you go to the gold store!" Su Kai and I just went to buy clothes by ourselves, so as to save time. ”

Dad Su waved his hand: "We're not in a hurry, it just so happens that the two of you can also help out and see what to pick for your grandfather." ”

Su Yan sighed secretly, Okay! Originally, she wanted to take advantage of the time of separation to make a quick decision and buy all the clothes first, so as not to give too much advice when Su's father and Su mother were together.

Unlike other parents, Su's father and Su's mother are not worried that their daughter will catch up with the "trend" and buy some fancy clothes, but feel that the clothes she usually buys are too plain and simple, and at the age of her own daughter, she should dress brightly and beautifully. So they have always liked to buy clothes with their daughter, and with Su Yan's temperament, they will not refuse too strongly, at most half of them will buy according to her own wishes, and half of them will buy according to their parents' wishes. After buying the clothes, with Su Yan's temperament that she will not waste, she will always wear them. Su's father just saw through his daughter's meaning, so he pulled her to buy the gold together first, and then went to see the clothes together.

At this time, the gold shop is mostly common jewelry such as necklaces, rings, bracelets, etc., and it is rare to see ornaments with the theme of the elderly's birthday, at most there are some gold medals, and Su Ma feels that gold medals are too common. After walking to three houses and finding nothing, Su Yan saw a long-bearded old fairy who could be seen in gold shops in the future, and immediately pointed it out to Su Dad and them.

The whole ornament was packed in a beautiful box, and Su's father felt that it was simply set up for them today, and he liked it at a glance. Su Ma also nodded, this is good, atmospheric!

It was unanimously decided that this was required, and the ornaments were cast by hollow technology, but there was a lot of gold used, and with the cost of handwork, it took almost 18,000.

On Grandpa Su's birthday, there were many people who came to the banquet, and almost the entire village came. Su Se took out the box and gave it to him, and when it was opened, it caused an uproar in the audience. After all, it is a rural area, and even in the city, it is rare to make such a large gold ornament as soon as you make a shot, and this shape is also special.

The onlookers praised Grandpa Su for being blessed. Grandpa Su never stopped laughing, and was much kinder to Su's mother, and kept telling her not to eat more politely, they were all from his own family. Su's mother looked at Su's father, and she was really a little flattered. Su Yan and Su Kai have never received New Year's money from their grandparents when they are so old, and this time Grandpa Su sent them a big red envelope. Su Yan didn't expect her to have a share, the Su family's grandparents are known for being patriarchal, and when she was born, they also scolded Su Ma outside the house for giving birth to a money-loser.

In short, everyone has gained a lot from this trip.
