178. Everything is in plain sight
In two days, Zhang Wei will celebrate his birthday.
Li Su, Lin Wanyu, and Hu Yifei are talking about giving birthday gifts.
Hu Yifei's gift has been confirmed, Casio G-SHOCK series watches, which is also to apologize to Zhang Wei for Xiaoli's incident.
When it comes to giving birthday gifts, there are still some famous ones that can be talked about in detail.
This group of people on the sixth floor of the love apartment are neighbors and friends, and now there are ten people living on the sixth floor, plus Lu Zhanbo and his girlfriend Reiko Uehara, who live downstairs, there are twelve birthdays that year, and eleven gifts are to be given.
If you make a slightly more generous move, for a salaried class like Zhang Wei and them, no one can hold it.
Like Qin Yumo and Guan Gu Magic, as well as Amy, they were quite generous before - Guan Gu is a cartoonist who has serialized comics in comic magazines, and in 09, his monthly manuscript fee of 500,000 yen is equivalent to 40,000 monthly salaries in Xia Guoyuan.
But Zhang Wei and Xinling are different, because of their economic strength or frugal character, they are not so generous.
If Guan Gu and them give Zhang Wei a super expensive birthday gift, then Guan Gu will not be able to send it back for their birthday next time? But it's expensive, and it's really painful.
All in all, this is a problem that the scale of gift-giving between a {poor friend and a rich friend} should be grasped well.
Everyone is actually aware of this problem, but no one can pull down their faces to poke this thing out, and those who are strapped for money dare not say it, for fear of losing face; I don't dare to say anything if I have a lot of money, for fear of being considered a stinky show.
In the end, Li Su was not so hypocritical, he had a direct showdown, saying that everyone should not give him expensive gifts in the future, because he would not give expensive gifts back to everyone.
Li Su likes to give books to people as birthday gifts, and men give chicken soup for the soul and success learning; The woman will send romance.
Li Su spread out this matter and said that Zhang Wei and the others actually wanted to thank him, after all, they were not as rich as Guan Gu Amy and them.
That's it, everyone in the apartment can be regarded as forming a tacit understanding, or an unspoken rule, as long as it is not a tenth birthday, the birthday gift can be fooled around, and there is a cake.
Zeng Xiaoxian likes to give people cups, and he once gave Yumo a cup that is particularly like an ashtray;
gave Hu Yifei a "cup" with a hole underneath, it is not a cup at all! Zeng Xiaoxian didn't look at it clearly when he was shopping online, who had a hole in the bottom of the cup of a good person!
In the end, Hu Yifei took the cup to plant a potted plant, and she also named the green plant [Abo], which also wanted to rub Lu Zhanbo's luck, after all, from childhood to adulthood, who let Lu Zhanbo be fed by Hu Yifei.
Lu Zhanbo has protested countless times about this, but the protests have been ineffective, and Lu Zhanbo is incompetent and furious.
Hu Yifei also wanted to slap Li Su in the face, who made Li Su often laugh at her for being an "exterminator", what to raise and die.
Yes, the potatoes that were buried in the planting box by Hu Yifei did not sprout, God knows why they did not sprout, obviously the potatoes are a cheap seed and are very easy to feed, Ms. Hu is incompetent and furious.
Incompetent and furious siblings.
At the beginning, everyone thought that Zeng Xiaoxian gave people a cup, which meant that everyone's life cup (tragedy) was the case, but in fact, it was not like this, Zeng Xiaoxian gave everyone a cup The meaning of the cup is - a good friend for a lifetime (cup).
Lu Ziqiao likes to give away shampoo or shower gel, I wish everyone to change their minds and be a new person, oh no, I wish everyone to wash off the lead and be beautiful;
Hu Yifei likes to give away mouthwash.
It's all very practical stuff, and it's all within everyone's financial affordability, and everyone is happy.
……
Time came to Zhang Wei's birthday.
Zhang Wei went to the library to check the materials, because of the property law papers.
In the evening, everyone arranged the birthday scene in 3603, and everyone was ready to hold a birthday party for Zhang Wei.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Qin Yumo, who was in charge of letting the wind out on the balcony, came in, "Zhang Wei is upstairs, hide quickly, hide quickly!" ”
A group of people have found a place to hide, behind the curtains, behind the TV, behind the sofa...... Just wait for Zhang Wei to open the door and come in, and then give him a "Sapleis"!
However, the doorknob of the suite door only moved, and was not opened.
Everyone looked puzzled.
Everyone sent Li Su and Yifei to check the situation outside.
When they came to the door, Li Su and the others saw Zhang Wei sitting on the ground against the wall, looking quite weak.
"Brother Su help me, I can't unscrew the handle." Zhang Wei said.
Hu Yifei was surprised: "Are you drunk?" Someone out there already celebrated your birthday? ”
"Nope." Zhang Wei shook his head.
"That's what all drunks say, how much did you drink, white or yellow?"
Zhang Wei thought for a while: "The red one, the doctor said once, a maximum of 400 cc." ”
This is the tradition of Zhang Wei's orphanage, and every birthday, he will do something to give back to the society, which is quite meaningful.
"You're going to donate blood, are you okay?"
Li Su pulled Zhang Wei up.
"Oops, the doctor said that my blood sugar is a little low and can't be stimulated, so let's go in and talk about it."
Li Su spoiler: "Eh~ Wait a minute, Zhang Wei, we have prepared a birthday party for you, Yifei proposed it, it was inside, I want to surprise you, but who knows that you can't stand the stimulation now." ”
Hu Yifei picked up the conversation: "But when you go in for a while, you still have to show surprise, otherwise everyone will be disappointed." ”
Zhang Wei nodded and said with a smile: "Okay." ”
Li Su and the two hugged Zhang Wei into the apartment.
Turning on the light, Qin Yumo and the others jumped out: "Surprise! ”
"Ahh ~~" Zhang Wei's performance is pompous and contrived.
There was a moment of embarrassment at the scene.
Zeng Xiaoxian died with fish eyes: "I'll just say that the effect is average." ”
However, at this moment, Lu Ziqiao, who was wearing an Ultraman monster costume, jumped out: "Roar~"
Lu Ziqiao's Ultraman monster costume was borrowed from the crew through the relationship of his little aunt Tang Youyou, after all, as we all know, Lu Ziqiao's social skills are full.
In other words, since Lu Ziqiao was squeezed dry by Amy, he has become obsessed with some gadgets, fishing, playing walnuts, and monster costumes...... Step into middle age ahead of schedule.
Li Su didn't even have time to stop it.
"Ahh At this moment, Zhang Wei's screams were much more sincere.
He fainted.
"Zhang Wei, Zhang Wei!"
The crowd was in a hurry.
Fortunately, Zhang Wei is a Xiaoqiang who can't be killed.
After a while, he woke up.
Everyone gathered around Zhang Wei.
"Zhang Wei, drink a cup of hot milk slowly." Qin Yumo came over with a cup of hot milk.
"There are many ways to do something good to repay the society on your birthday, donating money and materials, why do you have to donate blood?" Lu Ziqiao complained.
"Compared with donating money and materials, it is estimated that Zhang Wei is still more willing to donate blood."
After all, where Zhang Wei should pick the door, it is definitely the door.
Wait for Zhang Wei to come back a little.
Xinling smiled: "Don't say it, don't say it, save some face for the birthday star, let's blow out the candles together." ”
Yu Mo also said: "Birthday star, you can make a wish before blowing out the candles." ”
Zhang Wei smiled: "This year, I made a special wish list. First, I'm going to save enough for a down payment on a house, second, I'm going to marry a woman, third, I'm going to convince her to pay the mortgage with me, and fourth, I'm going to ......"
Zhang Wei, a greedy guy, is this a wish or a wholesale wish?
"Whew~ Happy Birthday!"
Everyone directly blew out the candle for Zhang Wei.
"Eat cake eat cake!"
The cake is a twelve-inch cake made by Xinling, who used to be a pastry chef.
In the gift-giving link, it is more expensive than Hu Yifei, a watch.
Except for Lu Ziqiao, the other boys in the apartment have a mechanical watch from the Casio G-SHOCK series in their hands, and the colors are different, just like the token of the [Apartment Men's Gang].
Lu Ziqiao decided to buy a piece tomorrow, he couldn't help but fit in.
Finally, Li Su used his newly bought Leica camera to take a group photo with time-lapse photography.
In the photo, the residents on the sixth floor of the apartment, plus Zhanbo and his girlfriend Reiko Uehara downstairs, are smiling brightly.
……
After eating the cake in the apartment, everyone changed the scene and went to the Lonely Corner Bar for a drink.
Late at night, everything is silent.
Li Su and Zhang Wei came back from a walk together, just the two of them.
On a spring night, there is a cool breeze and a white mist.
Zhang Wei sat on a bench under the street lamp and sobered up.
He wasn't drunk, he drank some fruit wine tonight, after all, he donated blood, and everyone didn't pour him.
After the hustle and bustle, Zhang Wei suddenly let out a long breath, feeling a little lonely inexplicably.
Li Su took out something from his pocket, held it in his hand, and then raised his fist horizontally in front of Zhang Wei, "Give." ”
"What, what is this?"
"Birthday present."
"Birthday presents? Brother Su, didn't you already give it to me? Are you drunk? ”
Success Books,
"Kazuo Inamori's Advice to Young People".
Li Su smiled and shook his head, and after that, he didn't sell Guan Zi, a horse jade pendant hanging on a red rope.
The materials and workmanship of this pendant are all high-end.
The horse, so handsome and lifelike, seemed to turn into a heavenly horse in the next moment, and its hooves sounded like thunder, galloping up to the sky.
This pendant, especially this workmanship, is particularly good, not ordinary.
Lv5 level manual skills are naturally able to amaze the world.
Zhang Wei no longer has vision, and he also knows the value of this pendant, "Brother Su, you are drunk, I don't want this, you keep it well, don't lose it." ”
"I'm not drunk, I'm just a birthday present for you." Li Su grabbed Zhang Wei's hand and slapped the pendant into Zhang Wei's hand.
"It's... It's too precious for me to take it. ”
"Don't you think I'm with Yifei as my brothers, this is a meeting gift from my brother, give it to you, I wish you a smooth road in your future life, and you will succeed immediately."
Everyone in the apartment, Li Su only admires Zhang Wei very much, he comes from a humble background, but he does not complain; He has a rough life, but he is still optimistic and high-spirited; On his birthday, he also went to donate blood to repay the society, which can be called the most kind of man in the love apartment, Li Su sincerely admires him.
Li Su's vision will not be wrong, Zhang Wei will definitely succeed in the future, although there is a high probability that he is a late bloomer.
Therefore, a mere jade dead thing is worth something.
The reason why I chose this time and this place to send it is, of course, because Li Su is not a monster without emotional intelligence, like at the birthday party just now, if Li Su gave away such a valuable jade pendant, how can it make others embarrassed.
"Brother Su, thank you."
Zhang Wei choked up a little, hugged Li Su with a bear hug, and everything was silent.
Spring, late at night, on the bench, two men hugging each other.
Li Su shook his head and smiled.
