Chapter 30: Uncle Hymer's Happy Romance
A rough person like Uncle Hai would actually think of giving gifts to girls, it seems that love is really educational. When Uncle Hai talked about it two days ago, I volunteered to help him as a counselor, and I must help him pick a gift that will make Sister Xu's eyes shine and add points for him.
Uncle Hai and Daddy went to the construction site together, although there was someone there to watch, but Daddy would still go to see every once in a while, telling them to strictly control the quality, after all, it is a landmark building, and if there is a quality problem, it will be serious.
I had nothing to do in the morning, so I picked up the shower and went to water the flowers. On the balcony, I put a few pots of spider plants, the growth is particularly good, the leaves are big green, there are two pots of flowers, white, the petals are not big, but I look at the heart and rejoice, this is my own flower, I have been haunted by the pot that I raised for more than a year, and then died inexplicably.
There is also a pot of aloe vera next to the spider plant, the leaves are very large and thick, and there is a texture, I know that the leaves of aloe vera can be beautiful, but now I don't need it, so I won't toss them, keep it for a while. In the past, my bad roommate and friend always liked to laugh at me for being too lazy, and could only raise aloe vera, cacti and other flowers that didn't need to be watered often, but now I'm so proud that I have also raised a garden of purple and red. Rich as a peony, it blooms layer upon layer, very festive; The blue intoxicating delphinium grass is really like a swallow with wings ready to fly, lifelike; Even the most difficult orchids I have two plants, one dark red and one light yellow, although not expensive, but also like an elegant woman standing in the mountains, adding a lot of color to my small garden.
When you are upset, look at the flowers and plants, and the boredom in your heart will disappear, no wonder some retired old people take it as fun to play with flowers and plants. Flowers and plants can really make people feel calm, and find a long-lost pastoral taste, which is not found in urban people living in the reinforced concrete jungle.
After watering all the flowers, my forehead began to sweat, tired but happy. Looking up at the gradually rising sun, I went back to the house to take a bath, changed my clothes to practice the guqin, and played "Youlan".
At noon, Daddy and Uncle Hai came back for dinner, but Qin You was rarely absent, saying that he was a guest at a friend's house that he met in a cram school, and Qin You would also make friends? I felt a little surprised, and I really wanted to meet this friend of his.
There are four dishes and one soup for lunch, among which there is a stir-fried bitter gourd, I especially like to eat, and I don't know how Aunt Zhang does it, there is no bitterness at all, it is very light and refreshing, Daddy said that bitter gourd clears the heat and goes to the fire, let me eat more, every time I take most of the plate.
When I woke up from a nap, Uncle Hai was already waiting for me, and I asked him if he had a general direction, and he said that if he wanted to send jewelry, he seemed sincere. Okay, so let's go to the mall first.
There are so many things in gold and silver, rings, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, everything, but most of the styles are similar, Uncle Hai looks at this one or that one is not bad, but I haven't seen any of them, I am used to seeing finely crafted small things in my previous life, and then looking back at the stupid things in front of me, the gap is too big, and I can't accept it.
I've seen all the shopping malls I can enter, but I haven't picked out a lovely thing, Uncle Hai complained that my vision is too high, I don't think so, "If you want to send it, you will send the best, otherwise you won't send it!" "That's what I've always said.
"So what do you say?" Uncle Hymers leaned on the side of the car, a little deflated.
"Jade! Send jade, gold and silver are too cheesy, jade can raise people, and it is the most suitable for Sister Xu! "I suddenly remembered that I had a jade pendant, and I had worn it for five or six years, and it became more and more warm and shiny, and every time I looked down and saw it hanging on my chest, I was very relieved.
"Jade? Okay! "Uncle Hymers was also very happy.
There are a lot of jade jewelry, and there are many types, I don't know much, but I can look at it, I believe in my own feelings, I feel good Sister Xu will definitely like it, but what to choose? Uncle Hai said that if you don't wear a pendant, a man wearing Guanyin and a woman wearing a Buddha, just choose a Buddha pendant, auspicious! I hesitated and didn't answer, my eyes kept searching, and suddenly my eyes lit up, and I saw a pair of jade bracelets, all emerald white, not ordinary at first glance, if you wear it on Sister Xu's wrist, it will look good.
Uncle Hai is also very satisfied, when he pays for it, he is very happy, three thousand yuan, and it is thirty or forty thousand in 09, but I think it is worth it!
After returning home, my father looked at the bracelet and said that it was okay, and Uncle Hai was more confident, so he packed up and went out on a date.
Daddy was sitting in a chair reading the newspaper, and I was lying on the table weakly, feeling bored, "Daddy, do you think Sister Xu will accept the gift?" I turned my head and asked my father, what about three thousand, is Sister Xu's salary for a year, will she ask for it? If it were me, I wouldn't have asked for it. I couldn't help but sweat for Uncle Hai in my heart, I knew that I wouldn't have instigated him to buy such an expensive one, wouldn't this be a blow to him.
"So concerned about Uncle Hai?" Daddy looked up at me, and then continued to read his newspaper, not understanding how good the broken newspaper was.
"Of course, I still expect him to marry Sister Xu to me as a little aunt." I don't care if I can do it.
"You, I think you're just curious, you still care about yourself!"
"What's wrong with me? I'm fine. ”
"Really? Your drawing teacher told me you already owe five assignments, don't you? Daddy put down the newspaper and looked at me calmly.
"It's not that exaggerated." I immediately slipped out of my chair and flattened my mouth, "Won't I be able to paint now?" "It's really, what a big deal, it's worth telling Daddy, this teacher is also careful.
Uncle Hai came back after dinner, I was watching TV in my room, I ran out when I heard the sound of the car, and I heard Uncle Hai humming a little song from afar, needless to say that he was in a good mood, and it seemed to be done.
"Sister Xu accepted it?" As soon as he entered the room, I asked hurriedly.
"Of course, take it!" Uncle Hai looked very proud, "Who am I!" ”
I didn't understand at this point, but my father said, "You told her how much the bracelet was?" ”
Uncle Hai smiled hesitantly, "Brother Qian is still smart, I told Yuanyuan that it was not expensive, and it was only three hundred, and she accepted it." "So that's the case, there is one less zero in plain white, and I can't see that Uncle Hai is still thick and thin, but I won't praise him, he is proud enough now, and his tail will be up to the sky in a while.
