Chapter 72: Thanksgiving (Change)
Gu Yingqing chose in front of the display cabinet where the fountain pen was placed, and without doing her homework in advance, she randomly chose the one she could afford, and it was a mid-priced one in the brand.
"Wrap up this trouble for me." Gu Yingqing pointed to a black pen.
The clerk kindly introduced: "We have two colors to choose from, in addition to platinum-plated, there is also a rose gold-plated one."
Gu Yingqing thought for a moment, "Just platinum."
"Okay, then we still have engraving services here, we need a construction period, do you need it?"
"No, wrap it up now."
"Okay." When she met such a decisive customer, the clerk wore white gloves to wrap the pen for her.
Gu Yingqing was carrying a small bag, and his heart was infinitely blocked.
Cut back for a month, and overspend only three days at the end of the month.
Back at the company, before the lunch break was over, Gu Yingqing opened the drawer and casually found snacks to deal with.
Shortly before getting off work, Gu Yingqing took a document, stuffed the pen gift box under the document shell, and went to the president's office.
She knocked on the door and entered.
Cheng Yuesheng sat behind the desk, lifted his eyelids to look at her, and lowered his head to continue the action of signing in his hand.
After putting down the pen, he leaned back in his chair, clasped his hands in front of him casually, looked at her coldly, and did not make a sound.
Gu Yingqing withstood the pressure of his eyes, came to him, took out the small rectangular gift box under the document shell, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of him.
Cheng Yuesheng glanced at the thing, then looked at her again, and silently asked her what she meant.
Gu Yingqing's smile was soft, and there was a sense of distance, "Mr. Cheng, thank you for helping to solve the siege last night, and I wish you a happy birthday in advance."
Cheng Yuesheng seemed to have heard some joke, so he raised his eyebrows in surprise and laughed lightly.
Laughter sent chills down her back.
Cheng Yuesheng picked up the box and played with it in his hand, but he didn't open it, "Good thoughts, one gift and two loves."
Gu Yingqing corrected him with a smile: "No, it's just a thank you gift from last night."
The words "Happy Birthday" are given in passing, and there is no intention to give him a birthday gift.
"Last night?" Cheng Yuesheng tasted these two words playfully, propped his head, was silent for a moment, raised his eyes and suddenly brought out a yin owl, threw things on the table, and said in a violent tone, "Who wants you this?"
Gu Yingqing's smile faded, she raised her eyebrows, and whispered, "If you don't like it, throw it away."
With that, turn around and leave.
As soon as the time to get off work arrived, Gu Yingqing took his luggage and left, and met Jin Yuyin at the high-speed rail station.
When I got out of the high-speed rail station, it was already dark.
Jin Yuyin's cousin Jin Cheng drove a car to pick him up, waited outside the station, leaning on the railing while watching short videos.
Jin Yuyin and Gu Yingqing walked up to him, but he didn't see it, Jin Yuyin shouted, "Jin Cheng, let's go."
Jin Cheng stared at his phone and smirked.
Jin Yuyin went up and took his earphones and shouted into his ear, "Takeshi Kaneshiro!"
Jin Cheng cursed, covering his ears: "Are you sick? It's scared to death!"
After speaking, he saw Gu Yingqing behind Jin Yuyin again, and immediately laughed earnestly: "Qingqing is also back."
"Brother Cheng." Gu Yingqing greeted with a smile.
Jin Cheng is going to help Gu Yingqing get the bag, "The thing is heavy, right? I'll get it for you."
Gu Yingqing said no, "It's not heavy, I can take it myself."
Jin Yuyin stuffed his overnight bag into Jin Cheng's arms, and asked Gu Yingqing not to be polite, "Anyway, he likes to be your servant the most."
"Grass, you can't get over this stalk, can you?" Kaneshiro was annoyed.
When they were children, they played together, Jin Yuyin and Gu Yingqing were princesses, and there were already other boys who made them princes, and Jin Yuyin asked Jin Cheng to be princes for other girls.
Jin Cheng said no, I can be a servant for Gu Yingqing.
Jincheng worked as a programmer in an Internet company in the city, and went back to the village for dinner after work
Non-stop to pick people up.
Jin Cheng drove a Tesla that his parents bought for him with a down payment, he opened the passenger door, ready to let Gu Yingqing sit, Jin Yuyin said "thank you", and sat directly in the passenger seat.
Jincheng gave her an "ignorant" look, and wanted to lift the door hard, but suddenly remembered that this was his new car, and suddenly loosened his strength and gently closed the door.
Along the way, Jin Cheng greeted Gu Yingqing, Jin Yuyin knew what he was thinking, but Gu Yingqing's situation was impossible with him.
She interrupted and asked, "Did Yingqing's grandparents go back to the village for dinner?" Have you gone back to the nursing home?"
The nursing home is located at the junction of urban and rural areas near the town, and the place where the banquet is held is in Sanqiao Village, Yongxi Town, which is also the hometown of Jin Yuyin and Gu Yingqing's grandmother.
"Grandpa Gu didn't go, he was not in good health, it was too late, and he said that he would go again at noon tomorrow. Her grandmother went with a few old folks who were in good health, and she shouldn't have left yet, and her grandmother said she would wait for her to go back." Jin Cheng said and asked Gu Yingqing, "Qingqing, do you want to go to the nursing home to see your grandfather first?" We can stop at the nursing home for a while."
Gu Yingqing said, "Let's go back to the village first, I'll see grandma when I send him back later."
The car drove straight past the nursing home.
The reason why Sanqiao Village is called Sanqiao Village is because there is a river passing through the village, and there were once three wooden bridges connecting the entire village.
Of course, the dirt road has long since become an asphalt road, and the wooden bridge has been turned into a spacious and stable stone bridge.
After passing a bridge, turning another corner after going uphill, and walking more than 100 meters on the road surrounded by farmland, a cluster of self-built houses appeared in front of you.
There is a two-story small building next to a lotus pond, brightly lit, and the yard is adjacent to the water, which is Jin Yuyin's home.
But the place where the banquet was held was in the compound dozens of meters away.
The courtyard is surrounded by several houses on one side and several houses on three sides, and this courtyard is a common place for people in the village to do red and white ceremonies, and it is also a parking lot for everyone when there is nothing to do.
At this time, a huge canopy was erected in the courtyard, and I heard that there was light rain in the past two days, and round tables were placed under the canopy, which was very spectacular.
Jin Yuyin's mother said that according to the old rules, there should be three meals for big things, dinner the day before, and two meals at noon and evening the next day.
But they came back late, and it was already past the meal, and there were only a few people left in the banquet who set up mahjong tables for entertainment, and other than that, the cooks who were preparing for tomorrow's dishes.
Gu Yingqing's grandmother was originally at Jin Yuyin's house, chatting with a few old friends in the nursing home, but I don't know who said that Jincheng's car came back, and immediately ran out of the house.
As soon as Gu Yingqing got out of the car, he heard his grandmother's voice: "Qingqing? My clearing?"
Although Jin Yuyin's house was only a few dozen meters away from the yard, there was a gentle slope, and there was no light on the village road, Gu Yingqing was afraid that she would fall, so she hurriedly followed the sound and stopped the old man in the middle of the road.
"Oops, my little Jiaojiao!" Grandma grinned and hugged her.
Gu Yingqing's eyes were damp, leaned over and hugged the old man, smelled the familiar smell in her hair, and shouted sullenly: "Grandma......"
It's like the emotional valve has been opened, and all the grievances that have nowhere to complain come up at this moment.
