"Yes, I asked someone to bring it from Russia, do you like it?"

Xu Zhiqi's eyes flashed with anticipation, and when he saw his sister nodding, the corners of Xu Zhiqi's mouth reached the root of his ears - his sister was happy, and he was even happier.

"Second brother, this watch must be very expensive, your living expenses are limited, what kind of money did you buy it?"

Xu Zhinian's eyes fell on Xu Zhiqi's pair of white and discolored cotton shoes, and his heart was sour-the second brother was reluctant to spend money on himself, but he was very generous to her, a little sister.

"I haven't told my parents yet, I got a scholarship for the first semester of my freshman year, just enough to buy this watch."

"Second brother ......" Xu Zhinian was both happy and sad in his heart, and secretly decided that when the second brother returned to school, he must let him go back in style.

"There's another good thing!" Li Qinglan mysteriously took out a boxy box.

"This is the first time I've done it, and I've studied with the master for a week, but it's still not very good-looking, so you can make do with it."

Xu Zhinian opened the box and saw that it was a creamy birthday cake covered with strawberries, and his heart was suddenly filled with a feeling of happiness.

In her previous life, she lived a rich and luxurious life, and Michelin desserts were commonplace for her, but in the 80s, she had never seen a serious cream cake.

At this time, the sweet taste exploded in the air, and Xu Zhinian couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Sister-in-law, you're so good, where did you get this cream?"

"I bought it in the foreign trade mall in the capital, because no one recognized this thing, and the cream I bought was almost past its expiration date."

Xu Zhinian gave Li Qinglan a thumbs up: "Sister-in-law, it can be seen how advanced your mind is, when the supermarket business is stable, we will open another chain brand dessert shop and open it all the way to the capital." ”

Li Qinglan covered her mouth and smiled, and pointed to the strawberries on the cake: "You haven't noticed, this is a greenhouse strawberry grown in Xujiagouzi Village, which was carefully selected by your second aunt and third aunt and sent to the town." ”

"Huh?" Xu Zhinian only cared about the cream cake, ignoring the strawberries, and after Li Qinglan's reminder, he carefully observed those strawberries.

The strawberry varieties Feng Tao found were the most primitive, not as big and long as the current strawberries, but round, not large, full and cute.

"It's so good, this is the first strawberry, right?"

"This is already the second stubble, the second aunt said, the strawberries have come down, the village sent people to the market to buy it twice, it is very popular, Feng Tao also supplied it to the provincial capital once, however, the sales volume is still not opened, and the production capacity is a little overcapacity."

"What are you afraid of in excess, when I find a way to publicize it, it will soon be in short supply."

Xu Zhinian didn't need to explain too much, everyone was convinced of what she said - she said that if the supply exceeded the demand, then she would definitely have to grab her head, and it wouldn't be long before the strawberry greenhouse in Xujiagouzi Village was going to expand again.

Everyone chatted for a while, and the meal was ready.

Lin Zhinian came over with an apron and asked everyone to eat in the restaurant.

The dining room was a long table, Xu Zhinian was arranged at one end, and the family was divided on both sides, which made her feel like a "head of the family".

"Baoya, today is your birthday, you say a few words." Song Shuzhi looked at Xu Zhinian tenderly and reminded in a low voice.

"What's so great about my birthday, as the saying goes, son's birthday, mother's hard day, mother, thank you for giving birth to me seventeen years ago."

Xu Zhinian said this, and her heart was also a little moved, although this body is not hers, but after this period of running-in, she and the former Xu Zhinian have long been integrated, you have me, I have you, her past and memories have also become hers, and this home has long become her armor and weakness.

Song Shuzhi was moved by this sentence and silently wiped the corners of her eyes.

"My mother doesn't feel bitter at all, it's my mother's blessing to have a girl like you."

"Yes, Baoya, you are the hope of our family, the backbone and pillar of our family!" Xu Zhiqiu looked at Xu Zhinian proudly, and did not hesitate to praise his sister.

"Okay, you say that I am the pillar, then I will unceremoniously hold up this family, today I received a gift from my eldest brother and second brother, I am very happy, and now, I also want to give a gift to my eldest brother and sister-in-law who are about to get married."

Xu Zhinian took out a small thing from the pocket of his clothes and solemnly handed it over to Li Qinglan.

Li Qinglan looked at it and saw that in the palm of her hand was a copper key tied with a red rope.

"Baoya, this is ......"

"Sister-in-law, you don't dislike that we are rural people, and you are willing to marry my brother, of course I can't let you be wronged, this is the key to the two-story small building of the family courtyard of the three construction companies, this house will be your wedding room!"

"Bao Ya ......"

Li Qinglan was a little flustered, and she stuffed the key into Xu Zhinian's hand.

She is not a person who has never seen the world, of course she knows that such a set of buildings costs at least four or five thousand yuan, such a valuable gift, Xu Zhinian can give it to her lightly, but how can she accept it with peace of mind?

"Brother, I think my sister Qinglan is going to regret her marriage." Xu Zhinian directly used a killer move, and Li Qinglan was stunned.

"Baoya, what are you talking nonsense, how can I say that I want to regret my marriage......" Li Qinglan blushed shyly, and glanced at Xu Zhiqiu, wanting Xu Zhiqiu to distinguish for her.

"Baoya, Qinglan and I have already agreed, we will go to get the certificate after February 2, Qinglan has no intention of regretting the marriage, don't talk nonsense."

Xu Zhinian looked at his brother's world's largest real appearance, and laughed out loud.

"Brother, my sister-in-law doesn't want to live in this house, so she must treat me as an outsider, besides, this house has two floors, you live upstairs, and our parents live downstairs, I don't just give it to you, I want to ask you to take care of our parents, but depending on what she means, this is not happy."

Xu Zhinian deliberately had thorns in his words, just to let Li Qinglan accept the house she gave her.

"You...... I didn't say I wasn't happy. Li Qinglan couldn't have Xu Zhinian so sharp and sharp, and suddenly made a big red face.

Xu Zhinian put the key in her palm: "Sister-in-law, you are willing to marry into our family, this is the blessing of our family, you don't have to think about anything, live with my brother steadfastly, I still expect you to become my right-hand man in my career in the future." ”

When Li Qinglan heard this, she bowed her head slightly, which can be regarded as accepting Xu Zhinian's kindness.

"What a right-hand man, Baoya, don't let your sister-in-law work too hard, she and Zhiqiu are not young, and they have to hurry up to have children when they get married, while my father and I are still strong, we can help pull it up."

As soon as Song Shuzhi said this, Li Qinglan's face turned even redder, and she muttered: "Let this matter take its course, don't be in a hurry......

Song Shuzhi was about to urge again, but Li Xiangyang stood up.

"Qinglan, you're not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry, I dreamed of my little grandson yesterday." Li Xiangyang was obviously in a good mood today, and said with a smile: "It's still your sister-in-law who has something to do, and she has prepared all the houses in the county seat, and I have to hurry up to prepare a thick dowry to make Qinglan and Zhiqiu's wedding scenery a big one." ”
