After all, receiving exactly the same gift every year and pretending to be surprised. The average person can't stand it. So lie to yourself. Make yourself happier. There's nothing bad about it.

Master Xu raised his eyebrows and said very proudly: "This time, you definitely can't think of what it is." ”

Mrs. Xu nodded perfunctorily and said, "Yes, Xianggong is very smart, and I never guessed the surprise that Xianggong prepared for me." ”

Alas, I am also a handful of old people, and I have to coax fools with my conscience. It's really not easy to live.

This coaxes, conscience can't get by, don't coax, life can't live. She had no choice but to have no conscience for the sake of life.

A smug smile appeared on Master Xu's mouth, but he thought in his heart. Her own wife is really stupid, she gives her the same thing every year, but she can't guess what's in the box every year.

In order to let her guess, he used exactly the same mahogany box with coral bracelets.

It's a pity that Madame is too stupid. Even though he hinted so obviously, Madame still couldn't guess what was in her box every year.

Such a stupid girl, fortunately, she married her own home. Otherwise, how can I get married?

Until you come to the door of a courtyard. Master Xu stopped and said, "The surprise I prepared for you is in this courtyard." You'll push the door in. ”

Mrs. Xu silently rolled her eyes in her heart, just giving a coral bracelet, a total of such a big thing. Can't he just take the box and put it in his own hands? I just finished breakfast, and I didn't even take a breath to walk so far.

Still, she had a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth. Slowly walked forward and pushed open the courtyard door.

But in the small yard, there are only long and flourishing plants. There was nothing superfluous except for a set of stone tables and chairs under the porch.

Mrs. Xu looked at her father-in-law with some doubts, but thought to herself, didn't he bury his hand under the tree with the box this time?

But in order to accompany Huanhuan to play in the garden today, he specially wore a Suzhou embroidered silk dress. The material is very delicate.

If he really took out a shovel and handed it to himself, saying that he would squat down by the tree and dig out the gift himself. How can I shirk it?

Just as Mrs. Xu's mind was spinning a thousand times, thinking about how to tactfully and decently refuse her father-in-law's unreasonable request to dig the soil. But I heard the door of the house, and it creaked open.

Mrs. Xu came back to her senses and followed the sound, but saw her youngest son, who had not been seen for many days.

"Yi'er? Why didn't you come back and say a word to A-Niang? Hiding here quietly. ”

Mrs. Xu's voice was surprised and happy, and there was some excitement about reunion after a long absence. All kinds of emotions are mixed in the sound, and people are particularly touched to listen to.

Xu Yi smiled warmly and said, "My son came back this morning, and when Daddy saw me, he said let me hide it first, so as to surprise Auntie." So I rested in this side courtyard first. ”

In fact, he didn't want to mess around with Daddy, but he couldn't resist Daddy, so he had to obey.

Mrs. Xu's eyes were filled with tears, looking at the "surprise" that her husband said. Standing in front of her so obediently and skillfully. I just feel a little unreal.

After easing her emotions, she asked, "Why did you come back so suddenly?" I don't say say a word to my family in advance. I'm going to be ready for it. ”

The youngest son came back in a hurry. I didn't have time to prepare anything for him.

Xu Yi smiled and said softly: "I happened to be passing by nearby, so I came back to stay for two days." Take a look at Daddy and Auntie. But I have other things to do, so I can't stay home for long.

Because it's a whim-spur trip. So I didn't write to Daddy and Auntie in advance, and came back directly.

But I'm already a relative. Why don't you need to eat any more pastries or something? You don't have to sew my clothes yourself. The people below will serve me very well, so you can rest assured. ”

Ah Niang likes to cook pastries for him the most, but unfortunately Ah Niang's pastry making skills are really poor. Every time he eats the pastries made by A-Niang, he finds it difficult to swallow.

It's just that Daddy is a person who spoils his wife and has no bottom line. Even if A-Niang made the pastries very delicious. Daddy wouldn't let him tell the truth.

Fortunately, this time he came back suddenly, and A-Niang didn't have time to prepare those strange pastries for him.

He wants to stay for a few days and leave quickly. lest he had just soothed his stomach for two years, and he would be poisoned by A-Niang's dark cuisine.

As for the clothes that A-Niang sewed for him. He couldn't wear it anymore.

Although he knows the truth of the thread in the hands of his mother. But the clothes sewn by A-Niang herself are really a little difficult to explain.

Sometimes the two sleeves are not the same length. Sometimes two trouser legs. It's not the same thickness.

Of course, the crooked and strange embroidery on it, just reluctantly called the crumpled pattern embroidery, which shows A-Niang's unique craftsmanship.

And he is so old, A-Niang will still accidentally make clothes for him according to his childhood size.

He also wanted to muster up the courage to put on the clothes made by A-Niang to make A-Niang happy. It's just that...... The conditions are not allowed.

Mrs. Xu said with a little loneliness on her face: "I just came back, and I will leave in a few days?" ”

None of her sons, since they grew up, knew how to go home often.

Sometimes she doesn't see them a few times a year.

Xu Yi nodded and said, "Well, I still have important things to do." Just these few days are still the time I deliberately squeezed out on the road. I want to come back and see Daddy and Auntie. ”

For the fact that he only came back for a few days a year to accompany his parents, Xu Yi also felt very guilty in his heart.

It's just that at his age, if he doesn't put in more effort than others, why should he stand above others.

Mrs. Xu was in tears, and her eyes were full of reluctance.

After all, it was a piece of meat that fell from his body, and he held it in the palm of his hand for more than ten years. When I grew up, it was difficult to even see each other.

I saw my wife like this. Master Xu patted her on the shoulder and said, "Okay, okay." What is it like to cry in front of a child? Now that the child is back, let him be happy at home.

Don't always be sad. You see that the child is just passing by Miyun, so he came back to see us. It is enough for a son to have this filial piety. ”

Good men have ambitions in all directions. How can you be content with just staying at home?

In his opinion, it is normal for his sons to be on the move.
