058 Birthday Gifts
"Didn't the master take a fancy to that Xiaoli?" Mo An asked hesitantly.
Gongxi Chu asked strangely, "When did I say I took a fancy to her?" I didn't even see what she looked like, but I saw a head of hair, how could I take a fancy to her? ”
Mo An let out a sigh of relief and muttered, "Then you say it's okay!" ”
"I'm talking about dumplings." Gongxi Chu glanced at the little guy and threw the chopsticks, "I've eaten it, you can eat the rest." ”
Mo An looked at the back of Gong Xichu leaving, touched Mo Yan next to him and asked, "Do you feel that the master seems to be becoming more and more elusive?" ”
Mo Yan glanced at his companion, "I feel like you're going to be beaten!" ”
"Cut, you can't say a nice word!"

West Courtyard.
After resting at home for three days, Lu Wenping's waist finally healed, and he hurriedly began to go to the office, Hua Ronghua also ran to the shop every day, but he always quarreled with Mrs. Lu because of the money, and everything seemed to return to the previous days.
That night, Lu Wenping suddenly asked at the dinner table: "Hua Niang, is my father-in-law's birthday coming soon?" Have you prepared a birthday gift? ”
Hua Ronghua almost choked on the porridge in the bowl and coughed several times.
"Are you alright?" Lu Wenping didn't understand himself, but he just asked, how did he scare Hua Niang like this.
Hua Ronghua shook his head, cleared his throat and said, "It's okay, it's just that the rice grains ran into the trachea just now, and it's okay to cough it out." ”
Mrs. Lu glanced at her dissatisfied, "I can't eat, what else can I do?" ”
Hua Ronghua didn't have time to quarrel with her, so he turned his head to Lu Wenping and said, "Well, I've been busy these days, isn't there still five days left for the birthday gift?" I'll buy it tomorrow. ”
The birthday gift has already made her forget about it, and she has to choose a gift tomorrow, and she still points to this Hua master as a backer! I don't know if he'll find out he's an impostor!
Lu Wenping opened his mouth, seeing that Hua Niang ignored himself and ate his own food silently, he originally wanted to say that he would personally choose the birthday gift! was gloomy, there was suddenly an extra chopstick radish in the bowl, and when I looked up, I saw Lan'er secretly smiling at herself, and her heart warmed, there are still people who need their own.
The daughter-in-law of the three pillars looked at the two of them, and then looked at Hua Ronghua, who was frowning on the side, and secretly sandwiched some vegetables for her son and lowered her eyes to eat her own food.
The next day, Hua Ronghua took Yuan Niang to go shopping, wanting to pick a decent birthday gift for Master Hua, but he didn't choose the one he liked after walking for a long time.
The price is too high-end, although there are hundreds of taels of silver in her makeup box, but if Master Hua refuses to be a backer for herself, she will have to rely on the silver; But the general birthday gift can't be used, after all, it is the father of the original owner, and he is usually so good to the original owner, and he has not inherited the favor of others when he has passed it.
In the end, Hua Ronghua picked a few pieces of rabbit skin in a large grocery store, which were pure black, black and shiny, and soft to start, and she liked it a little.
"Is the lady planning to give this skin to the old lady as a birthday gift?" When she got home, Aunt He couldn't help but ask when she saw the skin, but she was a little disdainful in her heart, the old lady has several tiger skins that are not much stronger than your rabbit skin.
Hua Ronghua smiled and shook his head, "I'm going to make a pair of boots." ”
"That's a good feeling, this hair coaxes me to wear a certain amount of warmth."
The original owner's female celebrity is very good, but Hua Ronghua doesn't know anything other than being skilled in threading needles and threads. It took two days of work for her to make even half a boot.
"It's really easy to look at, but it's hard to do!" In the end, Hua Ronghua gave up and sent the rabbit skin to the ready-to-wear shop to ask someone to make a pair of fur boots.
The day before Master Hua's birthday ceremony, Lu Wenping deliberately took a leave of absence and came to Washington with Hua Ronghua dressed up.
"It's my aunt and uncle who are back!" The attitude of the concierge was a little lukewarm.
Hua Ronghua came to the door for the first time and didn't know what to say, so he only stood with the burden of gifts and didn't speak.
Lu Wenping stepped forward, "Hua Niang and I are here to give a birthday gift to my father-in-law, please pass it on." ”
"This ......," the porter grimaced.
At this time, Steward Hua walked out of the courtyard, and when he saw this, he hurriedly invited Hua Ronghua and the others into the living room.
"Grandma hasn't been back for a while." Steward Hua really loves the original owner, after all, he grew up watching from a young age.
"Hmm." Hua Ronghua answered and did not speak.
Butler Hua doesn't care, Miss is this kind of character when she is young, and she doesn't care if she is unhappy.
"Isn't my aunt still angry?" Steward Hua put two plates of pastries on the table with a smile, "This is hibiscus sour and red bean rolls, Miss's favorite food." Didn't the master arrange everything for you before he left? Every month, I ask the young lady to send you the silver! ”
The young lady? Sister-in-law Hua? Hua Ronghua's eyes flashed, Sister-in-law Hua said this when she came to see her that time, but she also clearly told herself that although Master Hua asked her to send silver to herself, she just didn't send it! It seems that Steward Hua doesn't know yet.
"Well, haven't you come back yet? My dad. Hua Ronghua couldn't help but ask, she wanted to see if she would help her if she really sued Master Hua.
"Alas!" At the mention of this, Steward Hua also sighed, "The second young master really caused a big disaster this time, and even his life was out, and he hasn't settled it yet!" It is estimated that the old man will not be able to come back until the New Year. ”
Yes? Hua Ronghua and Lu Wenping glanced at each other, the matter is so serious, do you want to greet yourself?
As he was talking, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door, and then the two maids opened the curtains, and Sister-in-law Hua walked in.
"It turned out that my aunt and grandmother came back to the door, why didn't the housekeeper ask anyone to tell me?"
Steward Hua crossed his hands in front of his lower abdomen and bent down slightly, as if he was a little unhappy, "I was about to send someone to say." ”
Lu Wenping got up and saluted Sister-in-law Hua, "Sister-in-law is polite." ”
"Yo, it's Aunt Zhuangyuan, I can't afford this gift!" Sister-in-law Hua screamed and sat on the main seat.
Lu Wenping, who was halfway through the salute, had a blue face, a red face, and couldn't get off the stage for a while, and finally flicked his sleeves and sat back in his place.
Sister-in-law Hua didn't care about his attitude at all, and asked herself, "What is the matter with you here?" Didn't you say it's okay not to come back? ”
Steward Hua was taken aback, he had long known that the relationship between the young lady and the young lady was not good, but he couldn't tear his face like this, right? There's still my uncle here! As soon as I stood forward, I wanted to speak, "The young lady ......"
"Shut up for me, dare to answer me if you don't know what your identity is!" Sister-in-law Hua slapped the table and drank Steward Hua directly.
Lu Wenping's face became even more ugly, and he suddenly stood up and wanted to go out, but was stopped by Hua Ronghua.
Hua Ronghua took two steps forward and stood in front of Sister-in-law Hua, and sneered: "What? Are you the king of the monkey without a tiger in the mountains? I'm here at the Hua family, it's not up to you to call the shots here, what big cloves of garlic are you pretending! ”
Sister-in-law Hua didn't expect that her sister-in-law would dare to fight with herself in the absence of her father-in-law, her chest rose and fell sharply in anger, and she stood up and asked, "Who do you say is a monkey!" ”
"Whoever recognizes it will say whom!" Hua Ronghua raised his head and looked at her defiantly.
"Get out, get out of here! Get them out of here! "Sister-in-law Hua is going crazy.
Hua Ronghua glanced at the few family members who rushed in, and raised his neck, "Which of you dares to move?" ”
A few eager family members hesitated again, the young lady is the master's heart, if she sues the master, then she will definitely not be able to eat and walk around!
"You're all dead!" Sister-in-law Hua almost stepped forward to drive people out in person, and Brother Hua came in in a hurry.
"What are you arguing about? Don't you know you can't get too excited? What should I do if I have tire gas? "Brother Hua is in his thirties, with a slight fat in medium stature, and the sister-in-law Benhua who was full of nervousness as soon as he came in.
"Xianggong!" Sister-in-law Hua pulled Brother Hua's sleeve and complained, "You should take care of your sister, say that I am a monkey, and make me angry!" ”
Lu Wenping hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Uncle, please listen to me, it's actually ......."
Who knew that Brother Hua went directly past him and went to his own sister-in-law, and Lu Wenping was not embarrassed for a while.
"Hua Niang, you don't stay at your mother-in-law's house, what are you doing when you come back?" Brother Hua's tone was not very good.
Hua Ronghua was still worried about whether he would be seen as a flaw just now, but when he heard this, he instantly became angry, "Are you still my brother?" Is this still not my mother's house? Can't I go back to my own house? ”
Brother Hua was stunned for a moment, and then thought that his attitude just now was indeed not very good, and he frowned embarrassedly, "Aren't I in a hurry!" ”
Sister-in-law Hua was anxious and raised her voice, "Xianggong!" ”
"Then you can't bully your sister-in-law! Your sister-in-law now has a body, this is my first son, what if you get a little angry? The more Brother Hua said, the straighter his waist became, and he turned his head to teach Lu Wenping a lesson.
"Brother-in-law, it's not me who is the eldest brother who said you, you said that you can't even control your own woman, let her come back and make your sister-in-law angry, if you ......"
Lu Wenping smiled awkwardly, he really didn't know what to say.
"Speaking of which, isn't it just that you don't welcome us?" Hua Ronghua pulled Lu Wenping, "If you don't welcome us, we'll leave, and I won't come back if you ask me to come back in the future." Let's go, wait until my dad comes back. "Even if she is not the deity, she can't help but soar in anger when she is disliked by other husbands and wives three times and twice.
Hua Ronghua pulled Lu Wenping and walked away violently, and no one chased him out until he left the gate of Hua's house.
Just as he was about to move forward, the old butler came out.
"Miss go back first, the master is not at home, it's really ...... Alas! ”
"It's okay, Uncle Housekeeper, I'll settle accounts with them when my father comes back." Looking at Steward Hua, who was really sorry for himself, Hua Ronghua couldn't help but call out the name in his memory.
Steward Hua nodded again and again, "Okay, Miss has also become sensible, and it would be better to give birth to a son to my uncle as soon as possible in the future." ”
Having a son? Hua Ronghua sighed in his heart, someone else gave birth to a son, but it was not his turn.
"The housekeeper stays, and Hua Niang and I will go back first." Lu Wenping gestured slightly to Steward Hua, and then walked back with Hua Ronghua.
"Here's it."
"What? This ......" Lu Wenping looked at the burden that was suddenly sent to him and was a little surprised.
"My dad won't come back, and the birthday gift won't be needed for the time being, let's give this to you first, isn't it your birthday next month?" It's not that Hua Ronghua is a little overjoyed, but that he was angry just now, so why should he make up for it.
Lu Wenping held the burden in his hand and asked hesitantly, "Really give it to me?" ”
"Take it back if you don't want to." Hua Ronghua made a gesture to grab that burden.
"Who said no." Lu Wenping took advantage of the situation and put the burden in his arms, and the feeling of loneliness and shame just now seemed to be melted by this burden.
