Chapter 396: About Gifts
It turned out to be the He family's car, and the owner was the long-retired General He.
As for the girl, she was not the daughter of the He family, but the fiancée of the eldest young master of the He family.
The news that He Wei is the fiancée of the He family, the He family and General He did not deliberately conceal it, but on the contrary, it meant to be public, so it is no secret in the upper circles of Kyoto.
Zhou Jiewen finished reading ten lines at a glance, and her eyes were a little complicated.
It's not for the He family or He Wei. The He family is good, the family style is upright, and the juniors are excellent. He Wei is also good, and she is indeed worthy of her little sister's deep friendship. She just thought of the boy she knew when she was in the student union meeting, obviously wearing the coat of the fourth young master of the He family, but he looked like a street ruffian without face......
"Big sister?"
"Huh? Oh, it's here. Get out of the car. ”
Zhou Jiewen was pulled back to her senses by her little sister, straightened her dress, and pushed the car door to get out of the car as if nothing happened, but the crimson earlobes betrayed her after all.
Zhou Jieying stared at her eldest sister from earlobes all the way to her neck, and she was surprised in her heart. The heart said that she must have a good chat with He Wei, and the indifferent eldest sister of her family actually blushed......
……
The flowers bloom in two, one on each branch.
He Wei carried a schoolbag and a big eco-friendly bag, which contained the Christmas gifts she prepared for the He family. As for the gift to the second elder of the Xu family, she temporarily stored it in the space.
After the school officer knew that she had space for such a thing, he returned to the station and mailed her a storage rack from the military factory that could be assembled at will, as well as a set of rain-proof and moisture-proof shock-absorbing jackets suitable for her to wear.
I won't go into details, anyway, the set I wore with He Qingdong when I was in Minghua Mountain was a couple.
Nano silver storage rack produced by the military factory. That's what He Wei can't put down. Don't look at the thin assembly rod seems to be very thin, but in fact, it is sturdy, and the bearing capacity is quite amazing. What pleases her the most. It can be assembled as you like, and it can be regarded as making use of the corners and corners of the three-cube space.
In this way, the utilization rate of space has been greatly improved, and there was nowhere to stuff it before, but after the storage of the nano silver storage rack, a cubic meter of space was saved, which made her very happy. Present. I stuffed a lot of good stuff into it.
The original intention of the school official He to bring her the nano silver storage rack was to let her put more personal belongings in it, such as a change of clothes, dry food with a long shelf life, water, etc. So as not to encounter special circumstances again. put such a good carry-on baby, but after being drenched into soup chicken, I couldn't even take out a change of clothes.
Of course, that's just in case. No one wants that to happen again.
And Officer He also said that it's better not to take it in and out of the space if it's okay. lest thou shalt show thy feet before men.
So she carries a backpack every time she goes out. With a big bag in her hand, she was able to cover up her small movements at the critical moment.
This winter, she gave gifts to friends and family, including hand-knitted cashmere gloves and socks, silver openwork scented balls ordered from online drawings, and her own work in a pottery class.
She didn't start knitting gloves until she entered the girls' school. The pattern was created by her, and the cashmere thread was bought online. At first, I just had the attitude of weaving a finished product and teaching it to the welfare society if it was good, but the welfare society was busy enough with Christmas sachets alone, and the "double plan" of gloves and socks had to be put into operation next winter.
Without the pressure of teaching, Hewei children's shoes naturally thought of sending them to relatives and friends. It's a pity that cashmere thread is no better than coarse wool thread. It's too slow to weave, unlike a scarf made with coarse wool. One night goes smoothly enough to weave a strip. It took her a whole month to rush and weave gloves with cashmere thread, and it took her a whole month to rush in, and she also pasted them in several days off and afternoons without classes, before eight sets were rushed out one after another.
Counting and counting with your fingers, it's not enough to send. Fortunately, I also drew drawings and ordered a batch of silver openwork aromatherapy balls, which can not only be used as health care balls, but also can be used as mobile aromatherapy bottles for stuffing spices in the center of the balls.
For ladies, it's good to stuff some dried flower petals like lavender. For men, it is a little peppermint ointment or pure natural agarwood scraps, which can help calm the mind when held in the palm of the hand.
As for the finished products in the pottery class, they are naturally flawless. Otherwise, how embarrassing it would be to give it away. As for those that are flawed and reluctant to throw away, she puts them on the desk in the dormitory, and uses them to arrange flowers, or to pack trivial school supplies or snacks.
When packing last night, she divided it according to the head. The old man and the second elder of the Xu family must be the most important, one person has a pair of gloves and socks, one person has a pair of aromatherapy balls, and one person has a pottery pen holder. He Xiaoguan is the same, plus a couple scarf of the same style as her, which she knitted last year and didn't have time to give, so she simply gave it this year's Christmas gift. Strive to get it to him before Christmas.
As for the others, there are not so many, and if you want to send them, you can't catch up with such hand-made fabrics. So, the elders at the level of the second old man, the ladies all wore gloves and socks and aromatherapy balls. For men, it is pottery and aromatherapy balls.
For this reason, she spent three weeks in a row in pottery classes. The success rate of pen holders is the largest, followed by ashtrays, and then coffee cups. Like a triangular vase, an octagonal snack jar and the like, the finished products that can't be flawed can be picked out, and there are only two scrapers in one collapse, and they were left to the two godsisters by her fat and water without flowing into the fields of outsiders.
When Comrade Xiao Li saw He Wei coming, he hurriedly got out of the car to help and carried a large bag of gifts to the trunk.
He Wei did not forget to give him a Christmas present, a dark ashtray.
Xiao Li smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyebrows, and said "thank you" several times.
He Wei replied with a smile, "You're welcome", and then asked a few words about the old man's physical condition. Afraid of affecting his driving, as soon as the car starts, he will no longer disturb Xiao Li.
Winter in the north gets dark early.
It was only half past three when school ended, and by the time the car drove into the military compound, it was already completely dark.
Like most families in China, the residents of the military compound rarely spend a lot of effort to decorate their homes on Christmas Eve, such as Christmas trees, garlands, and ringtones. No matter what apples, turkeys, and cream porridge, they are all overseas Chinese New Year, and how many cents do they have to do with the native-born Chinese? At most, it will be with the children at home who love the Christmas atmosphere. Sticking a portrait of Santa Claus on the door, meaning to back up intimate gifts, that is already a great Christmas face for elderly Chinese people.
He Wei received a call from Mr. He before, saying that he was going to eat at home on Christmas Eve, and she thought it was just a simple meal, at most, she would have a happy family dinner with He Er and He San's families.
You can wait for the car to stop. Before people got out of the car, they realized the difference between He Mansion and other houses: not to mention the strong smell of barbecue in the air, just what they saw in front of them. The flowers and trees in the front yard and the backyard are full of twinkling Christmas lights; On the gate of the villa, there is a large wreath made of holly branches, which is decorated with festive mascots such as pine cones, kumquats, ringtones, and knots. on both sides of the floor-to-ceiling window. White snow sprays are painted with various Christmas patterns. There are large and small snowflakes, elk, bells, Christmas trees, and more.
She couldn't see anything in the house because the curtains were drawn, but the cheerful Christmas song slipped out of the crack in the door with the laughter and laughter, and she couldn't help but smile when she heard it in her ears.
The electronic doorbell buzzed a few times, and the door of the living room opened, and Fang Wanru poked her head out and saw that it was He Wei, smiling and waving to her.
"Vivi is here? Just now I was still talking about why Xiao Li was driving so slowly today. It's not here yet, and I'm about to call you. ”
"Hello third aunt!"
"Good, good. Hurry in, it's cold outside. Fang Wanru turned sideways and welcomed her into the house.
The indoor heating is turned on very much, and as soon as you enter, the warm and smoky heat hits your face, and it feels like spring.
"It's warm in the house, take off your coat."
He Wei took off her down jacket and took off her hat, scarf and gloves. The back was hung on the hanger in the entrance along with the down jacket.
"Vivi is here?" Hu Hui took He Yaonan and walked over to say hello, "I heard Anan say that your brother is studying in Kyoto?" Why don't you get up? ”
He Wei replied with a smile: "My brother has a classmate who has a birthday today, so we went to celebrate together. ”
"That's not a coincidence." Hu Hui said regretfully.
Fang Wanru interrupted the small talk between the two: "Don't stand still, Weiwei, what do you want to drink?" Milk tea or juice? ”
"Just plain water, third aunt."
"What's the matter, I just made a pot of milk tea, the new flavor from Xiaobei Tao, it smells good, Nannan, you and Hu Hui also have a cup?"
"We don't want it, we just drank a lot of coffee." He Yaonan hurriedly waved his hand.
Every time Hu Hui came to He's house, he would make a pot of coffee, but except for him and the twins, no one was used to drinking it, so that half of a pot of coffee fell into his stomach. Mu method, no one cheered, so he had to wrap it up, otherwise his girlfriend would be more sad. But no matter how much I like this thing, it will make my stomach rise if I drink too much. Yes, as soon as he heard that he was going to drink something again, He Yaonan hurriedly pulled Hu Hui and walked away.
Fang Wanru, who knew the inside story, shrugged her shoulders and smiled, and turned around to beckon He Wei to sit in the dining room: "Originally, this living room was the most spacious, but now there is an extra Christmas tree, and I don't know where to put my feet, let's go to the restaurant." ”
He Wei found that there was a pine and cypress Christmas tree in the center of the living room, the tip of the treetop almost touching the ceiling, which was beautifully decorated, and a thick layer of wool carpet was spread under the tree, and the felt was piled with gifts of different sizes and packages.
He Lingxi and He Songbei were hanging gifts on the Christmas tree, one was sitting on the escalator, and the other was standing below to hand over things, and they cooperated very tacitly. Seeing He Wei looking over, both of them greeted her with a smile. He Songbei, who has a relatively solid personality, also winked at her.
Seeing the gift, He Wei suddenly remembered that she forgot the gift bag in the car, patted her forehead, and was about to get it, when Xiao Li came in from outside the house, holding a big bag in her hand, it was not the gift she prepared for everyone.
Fang Wanru didn't have to guess to know, and said with a smile: "Today, the old man wants to have a foreign Christmas Eve, and asks us to pile all the gifts under the Christmas tree, do you want to make a mark?" Will you not be able to recognize them when you mix them up later? ”
As he spoke, he found a highlighter for He Wei, who made a simple mark on the gift box, and then piled them together with other gifts, looked up at the tall and big Christmas tree, and sighed: "This tree is really tall, it's not easy to arrange, right?" I added in my heart: The old man is really old-hearted.
Fang Wanru was arranging for Xiao Li to go to the backyard to help roast the whole sheep, Lao Feng and his son were probably busy enough, and they originally wanted the twins to help, but it happened that Xiao Li came back, so they sent him away. She can't bear the work of baking large items. Don't get there when one side is burnt and the other side is not cooked, so everyone will not have to eat.
Hearing He Wei's exclamation, he continued: "It's okay to arrange, there are ladders in the horizontal and vertical house, and the key is to pull it back from the flower garden, which took the two children's old noses." ”
"Huh? Don't you give delivery for such a big tree? ”
"There's no way, it's the end of the year, and the flower garden is also busy."
When it comes to buying a Christmas tree, Fang Wanru can't help but be happy. Her twins, in more than 20 years, are probably the first time they have worked as cargo pullers.
Who let this year, the old man want to learn from Westerners to have a Christmas with a rich atmosphere, and a few days ago he began to command this and that to decorate the house.
Something else is easy to say, that is, the pines and cypresses that arrange the Christmas tree, the old man said that he didn't want to be short and small, saying that it was too cold and too small, and he chose the tallest and largest Christmas tree, and measured the size, which is almost comparable to the height of the living room at home.
Money is secondary, the key is that the flower garden does not deliver it. It is said that it is approaching the end of the year and clinging to Christmas, and many units and companies are rushing to arrange the venue for activities and annual meetings. The manpower and trucks in the flower garden have gone straight to these large customers with orders of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, and private families only buy a pine and cypress plus a few pots of kumquat gods, sorry, please transport it yourself.
The twin brothers wanted to cry without tears, but the old man was appointed, and the payment was paid, and no one delivered the goods, so they had to pull it home. So, that afternoon, the brothers made a solid effort to tie the pine cypress to the roof of the off-road vehicle. In an instant, the cool and domineering latest Hummer off-road carried a super-long and oversized evergreen pine and cypress on the road, and finally pulled it back with the eyes of laughter or sympathy all over the street. That's not even counting the fines paid along the way.
This is a nightmare for the twins, and it is all tears. But the others were so happy when they heard it, including their old lady, who laughed so hard that they all fell. He Songbei was full of resentment: Is it my own mother? Yes? Is there such a joke about her son's own mother?
He Wei also laughed after hearing this. Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, after listening to Aunt He's description, coupled with my own brain supplement, it was really coke. (To be continued.) )
PS: I heard that the cold wave is coming, have you all stocked up on the goods? (*^__^*)
