Chapter Ninety-Nine: Gift-giving
Seeing that the girl lowered her eyes slightly, Mrs. Gu changed the topic again and again, she rarely spoke on weekdays, but she said so many things today.
"It's all what we're supposed to do." Mrs. Gu had a slight smile in her eyebrows, and then continued, "Today is your birthday and you must not shed tears. ”
When Tang Nian heard this, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, he raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes, and responded with a smile: "Okay, what my mother-in-law said is true." ”
Mrs. Gu's slender fingers slowly stretched out, and she took out an extremely delicate small box from her sleeve and placed it on the table.
Tang Nian looked at it and saw that the box was actually made of sandalwood, not only that, but it was also engraved with some fine patterns.
She was slightly surprised, could such a good thing be ......
In the next second, the corners of Mrs. Gu's mouth hooked, pushed the box in front of Tang Nian, and said softly: "This is what my mother-in-law gave me today, and I finally have a chance to give it to you." ”
When Gu Lin saw this familiar thing, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, he didn't think that his mother would give such a valuable thing to Tang Nian.
He still remembered that when he was a child, he was just curious, opened the box, picked up the jade bracelet inside and played with it, and Mrs. Gu lost her temper and punished herself for copying the book ten times.
Tang Nian's eyes were full of doubts, and when he looked at the small exquisite box in front of him, he felt that it was worth a lot.
She was slightly stunned, and then raised her eyebrows lightly, a little embarrassed: "But ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was instantly interrupted by Mrs. Gu: "Since I have the heart to give it to you, you should take it well." ”
Seeing that Tang Nian was still a little embarrassed, Mrs. Gu spoke again: "Is it difficult, you don't want to accept my kindness?" ”
When Tang Nian heard this, he shook his head again and again, so he had to accept it and respond: "It's not my mother-in-law, Tang Nian didn't mean that." ”
The corners of Mrs. Gu's mouth rose slightly, and she said softly, "Open it and take a look." ”
Tang Nian's well-defined fingers gently placed on the wooden box, opened the mechanism, and what caught his eye was an extremely light and transparent jade bracelet.
Although she didn't do much research on these pieces of jewelry in modern times, she could tell that the bracelet must be worth a lot of money by its luster and sparkle.
"Put it on and try it."
Tang Nian carefully picked up the bracelet, and then carried it on his slender arm.
There seemed to be a little snowflake in the bracelet, which made him even more beautiful and beautiful.
Since she arrived in ancient times, she had never received such a valuable gift, and for a while, Tang Nian was a little frightened.
"Do you like it?" Mrs. Gu's face was full of smiles.
Tang Nian bowed slightly, the softest place in his heart seemed to have been touched by something, and he replied again and again: "I like it, thank you for your mother-in-law's kindness." ”
"If you like it, it's fine."
Ah Hao and An Bao on the side saw that Mrs. Gu gave a gift for the Tang New Year, and naturally they couldn't bear to give a gift.
An Bao put all the things he prepared in front of Tang Nian, and said with a blinking eye: "Mother, this is a gift I specially bought for you, do you still like it?" ”
Ah Hao also immediately put the things he bought together with An Bao's, and said with a smile: "Thank you for taking care of me these days, otherwise Ah Hao would not be able to go today." ”
The tone of the two was very sincere, with a slight smile in their eyebrows, and Tang Nian was very moved in his heart.
Although the two children sent a variety of things, some of which seemed to be unusable to her, this was also their intention.
Tang Nian raised his two hands, put one hand on the melon seeds of a person's head, and said gently: "I like it very much, thank you for your kindness." ”
Ah Hao and An Bao grinned almost at the same time.
Gu Lin's well-defined hands kept playing under the table, and the necklace he bought was delayed in giving it away.
He moved his lips, but in the end he couldn't say a word.
After a while, An Bao's eyes lit up, and he suddenly saw Gu Lin's necklace under the table, snatched it, put it in front of everyone and asked, "Daddy, did you buy this for your mother?" ”
Seeing that An Baodu had already put the necklace in front of everyone, Gu Lin no longer nodded slightly, and responded, "I hope you like it." ”
Since he was a child, he has never given any gifts to a woman other than Mrs. Gu, and this is the first time.
Tang Nian subconsciously looked at Gu Lin, but at first Gu Lin's eyes were a little dodgy.
She had no choice but to take the necklace and put it around her neck.
I have to say that this necklace is quite poking her, and the small pendant on it is the image of a swan, shiny and shiny, and the workmanship looks very fine.
The two children clapped their hands again and again: "It's so good-looking, it's so good-looking!" ”
Tang Nian looked up at Gu Lin again and said sincerely, "Thank you." ”
Gu Lin shook his head slightly, and after a moment, he said, "If you like it, it's fine." ”
After giving the gift, fortunately, the meal was not cold, and everyone picked up the chopsticks together to taste Mrs. Gu's craftsmanship.
When Tang Nian picked up a piece of tender fish meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, his eyes widened.
She never thought that Mrs. Gu's craftsmanship would be so good, even she was a little willing to bow down.
Tang Nian gave a thumbs up and praised again and again: "Mother-in-law, your craftsmanship is really good, I'm a little ashamed." ”
Ah Hao and An Bao on the side also nodded again and again, but they kept chewing things in their mouths, and they didn't have time to speak.
The corners of Mrs. Gu's mouth hooked, her eyebrows and eyes curved, she shook her head, and said modestly: "It's just average." ”
Originally, when she was still a lady, she had superb cooking skills in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and cooking, but she was proficient in everything.
Not only that, but she also knows a little bit about archery and sword practice in the boys' club.
In a moment, the basins on the table had already bottomed out, and Tang Nian got up and used a knife and fork to row the simple cake he made for everyone.
Ah Hao and An Bao had never seen anything like this before, so they couldn't help frowning and asked suspiciously, "What is this?" ”
Tang Nian smiled and patiently explained to them: "This kind of thing is called cake, you must not have eaten it, right?" ”
The two shook their heads one after another, not to mention that they hadn't eaten it, they hadn't even seen each other.
Tang Nian carefully divided them, and then placed them in front of them with a clean plate.
Everyone picked up the chopsticks and tasted them, only to feel a faint sweetness in their hearts.
This stuff is just so delicious!
Not only that, but there is also a little fruit foil next to it, which is refreshing and not greasy.
