Chapter 324, a gift from the United States
Mei Lan knew from Deng Jianwu's mouth that night that Deng Jianwu also gave Deng Hongying 200,000 yuan, not only that, Deng Hongying also asked Deng Jianwu to rent a house near Meiju's school in Tongzhou, because Deng Hongying was worried that Mei Ju still had the urge to commit suicide, so she wanted to go to Beijing to accompany her.
Of course, accompanying reading is one thing, on the other hand, Deng Hongying also doesn't want to stay at home to serve Wang Ximei, she has served Wang Ximei for 20 years, and has a deep understanding of Wang Ximei's character, she stays by Wang Ximei's side, Wang Ximei will only practice her hard.
The Deng family still supports Deng Hongying's decision, after all, they have seen with their own eyes how much Deng Hongying has suffered in the countryside over the years, and Mei Ju's matter happened to give Deng Hongying a good reason.
As for Wang Ximei's pension in the future, Deng Jianwu came up with an idea, the Mei family has four brothers, one brother is three months, and Deng Hongying has a summer vacation and a winter vacation for three months.
It's just that Mei Lan suspects that the brothers and concubines of the Mei family can accept this mention, after all, they have basically not taken care of Wang Ximei over the years, and it is not so easy for them to take over a almost paralyzed Wang Ximei at first glance, they even refuse to pay for the medical expenses for treatment in Beijing, and they all put the responsibility on Mei Ju, how could they agree to serve a patient every day, or a patient who is not very good-tempered and not very good to them?
But that's not what Merlin wants to care about.
Back in Beijing, Mei Lan and Cai Ganlin went directly to Cai's house, and after having dinner at Cai's house, the two stayed at Cai's house again after being retained by the old lady and Fang Zhe.
Because Cai Xiang had an academic exchange in mid-February to go to the United States, and the theme of their academic exchange was about gynecological cancer, Melanto Cai Xiang contacted experts in this area for Deng Shuiying in the United States, and Deng Shuiying and Sun Dawei also rushed over the day after Cai Xiang arrived in the United States, when Meilan had already started school, and she moved back to her home.
On the first day of school, Mei Lan met Ke Ruisi and Ah Man again, and both of them gave Mei Lan a warm hug when they saw Mei Lan, saying that they missed Mei Lan too much, especially Ah Man, holding Mei Lan's hand and chattering endlessly, while talking to Mei Lan while showing Mei Lan their photos in Yunnan and the United States.
"Honey, this is a gift I bought for you." Aman took out a box.
"Dear, bring me a gift, thank you, Momoda." Mei Lan smiled and took the box, inside was a red plush toy about thirty centimeters long, like a dog is not a dog, like a bear is not a bear.
"Dear, are you sure this gift is for me?" Merlin asked.
She hadn't played with these stuffed animals and rag dolls since she was a child, so she didn't know what Doraemon or Barbie was, and she had made a few jokes about it.
"Don't like it?" Aman asked.
"I'll just say it, Mei Lan never plays with these things, she said this is for children, it's not practical at all." Meng Luyao was eating and laughing on the side.
"Honey, it's called a teddy bear, don't you think it's cute? I have a teddy bear that was given to me by my mommy on my 10th birthday, and I keep it at the head of my bed and hold it when I sleep, and it's like a friend to me, and I can whisper anything to him. ”
"Uh, okay, teddy bear, thank you." Merlin nodded.
However, she made up her mind not to take it home, she was going to sleep with a plush toy, and Cai Ganlin could throw the toy out of the window directly.
"Dear, you see that you still look reluctant, this teddy bear is a limited edition, do you know how many knives it took to spend people?" Meng Luyao stretched out three fingers as she spoke.
"Huh? Thirty dollars for one of these things? ”
"Poof." Meng Luyao smiled proudly, "Haha, Mei Lan, you're a bun again, isn't it, what's thirty, three hundred?" ”
"What? Three hundred? You say this fake bear costs 2,000 yuan? Mei Lan's eyes widened and asked, this was really beyond her acceptance.
Because there were no conditions when she was a child, Mei Lan never paid attention to these dispensable toys that could neither be eaten nor worn as clothes when she grew up, which caused her to be quite pragmatic in character, so that after she had money, she picked out some practical gifts for Peng Peng and Huhu, such as clothes, school bags, iPads or food, and the same is true for gifts for the elders, in addition to food is to wear, or jewelry that can retain value.
"Well, this gift is too expensive, I'll give you the money." Merlin said as she went to get her purse from her bag.
"My dear, this is my heart, I can't refuse, I bought it for you with my own manuscript fee." Aman held her down.
"Manuscript fee?"
"You don't know, Aman took a lot of photos in Yunnan, those photos were accompanied by text She published them in the magazine of the United States, Aman also sent us several magazines, we brought them back, in the dormitory, I will show you at noon, and there will be other surprises at noon." Meng Luyao said.
"Really? Disrespectful and disrespectful, it turned out to be a talented woman. ”
"That is, your ancient Aman is also a talented woman, I can't insult this name." Ah Man raised his head arrogantly.
"Lan, this is my gift to you." Corris walked over and took out a small rectangular box.
"You're not going to give me a bear or a dog, are you?" Merlin didn't want to accept Corris's gift, but she was afraid that she would go too far and arouse the other party's vigilance.
The identity of this person is still a mystery, Mei Lan went out to meet Xiao Li the day before the start of school, Xiao Li explained to Mei Lan, this semester they will send a girl to R University as a swimming coach, let Mei Lan become friends with her, and then break into Mei Lan's life circle.
"No, no, Lan, is your IQ going to be zero, you see my box is so small, how can it be a plush toy?"
Merlin was stunned by this, and then noticed that Corris handed over a pen case, which was a ruby red Parker fountain pen.
"Isn't this a limited edition?" Mei Lan hurriedly changed the subject.
"No, my gift is much lighter than Aman's, but you have an old Chinese saying, which is called courtesy and affection, I hope you like it." Corris pulled out another old saying.
"Then thank you, I'll invite you to dinner at noon." Mei Lan generously accepted the things, planning to find an opportunity to send the two of them back with something in the future.
"Mei Lan, you haven't returned to the dormitory yet, and we all have gifts for you." Meng Luyao said.
"Don't worry, I'll invite you together, and I won't pull you down." Mei Lan smiled and pinched Meng Luyao's face, in exchange for Meng Luyao's white eyes.
At noon, Mei Lan and the others gathered in the small cafeteria of the school, and after returning to the dormitory, Mei Lan saw that there were a bunch of gifts piled up on her bed, including clothes, skirts, silk scarves, shawls, beef jerky, and a set of silver jewelry and prints.
"Wow, I've made a fortune, my Meilan's character has exploded, and I actually received so many good things." Mei Lan smiled and sat at the head of the bed.
"Guess, who sent all this?" Ni Qi said.
"This beef jerky must have been given by Zhang Jing, this dress is hand-embroidered, it should be Sun Lan's, this skirt and silver jewelry must be Ni Qi and Beibei's, this silk scarf is Yaoyao's, and this print should also be Zhang Jing's."
"Dear, you actually guessed it, come on, what one." Zhang Jing hugged Mei Lan and kissed her.
"So, who am I?" Mei Lan's eyebrows and eyes were crooked when she smiled.
It's a good feeling to be remembered.
"And we have a big gift." Ni Qi turned around and took out a box from her drawer.
"No, when did you become a local tyrant? My little heart can't stand it a bit. Mei Lan saw that the other party took out an Apple 4S mobile phone, and she didn't even open the package.
That's a bit too heavy, isn't it?
"What, I didn't pay for this money alone, it was bought for you by the four of us."
"We each bought one." Meng Luyao held a white Apple 4S mobile phone and shook it beside her.
"Join in?" Merlin asked.
"Mei Lan, that's the case, this mobile phone is new, we bought it in the United States much cheaper than in China, a few of us bought one by one, think about it, you can't be the only one who is a hero, so the four of us got together to buy a one for you, since I did stocks with you, everyone has benefited, but I haven't given you a decent gift, I don't know if you like this gift or not?" Ni Qi said.
"Nonsense, can I not like such a good gift?" Merlin said as she opened the box.
"By the way, did you buy this mobile phone yourself, or did Aman lead you to buy it?" Merlin asked.
"We bought the things ourselves, but the place was led to by Aman, what's wrong?" Ni Qi asked.
"It's nothing, Aman also gave me a teddy bear today, I think this gift is a bit expensive, and Corres is too, this pen is not cheap, I think it's good to give it back to others."
They are all ordinary classmates, and Mei Lan has never given any favors to others, but they just had a few meals together, and the gift of thousands of yuan is indeed a bit heavy.
"It's not easy, you can invite us to the restaurant a few more times in the future." Meng Luyao said.
"You're a foodie, you just think about eating, you can eat better than Zhang Jing." Ni Qi glanced at Meng Luyao.
"I protested, and I didn't offend you, why was I shot while lying down?" Zhang Jing quit.
"That's it, Mei Lan invited us to go swimming, the food in this rice country is high in calories, I seem to have gained seven or eight pounds this holiday, people say that I don't lose weight in March, I am sad in April, passers-by are thunderous in May, and I have no partner in June, I must lose weight before June, otherwise I won't be able to wear those good dresses." Jubeibei touched her belly.
"This can be there." Merlin was looking for an opportunity to contact the Security Bureau. R1152
