Public examination landing guide

eat.Over the years, he has not only cultivated good cooking skills, but also cooks very fast. When others are cutting potatoes one by one, he can already cut potatoes of even thickness with a few strokes.

In the following period of time, Gu Tao, who was a wounded person, truly realized what it meant to be "as happy as a pig".Xu Jinghan is absolutely obedient to him, cooking big meals at home every day to feed him.Stew pig’s feet today, stew chicken soup tomorrow...

After two weeks, Gu Tao felt that he had become much rounder. When he weighed himself on the scale, he really gained five catties.Occasionally Gu Tao wants to eat some "tofu", touch and kiss, Xu Jinghan also lets him enjoy himself.

The other party involved in the fight had a hard time.

Xiao Wei was directly beaten by Gu Tao and broke his bones. He was lying in the hospital for two weeks. One day before he was discharged from the hospital, he met an unexpected person.

"I didn't expect you to come again. Did you come to see my joke?"

Fan Xiaoxue smiled coldly at Xiao Wei, and then said lightly to Yang Jie who was sitting beside her, "Go out first, I have something to say to Xiao Wei alone."

Yang Jie stared, very unconvinced: "You—"

"Xiaojie, you go out first." Xiao Wei knew that Fan Xiaoxue was also a master who was capable of writing and martial arts, if Yang Jie had a conflict with her, it was hard to guarantee that he would not suffer.What's more, Yang Jie is pregnant with a child now, Xiao Wei doesn't want her to take this risk.

Yang Jie reluctantly stood up, and reminded Xiao Wei before leaving: "Remember to ring the bell to call for help." The moment she passed by Fan Xiaoxue, she gave Fan Xiaoxue a vicious pooh .

It's a pity that Fan Xiaoxue regarded her as a clown, and didn't even bother to give her an extra look.

"It turns out that you like this kind of person, and it really matches you well." Fan Xiaoxue said lightly, with sarcasm beyond words.

Yang Jie's family background is very average. Her parents are both laid-off workers in the factory. Now they are working in the coastal area. Her education is not high.In terms of self-cultivation and tolerance, she is not at the same level as Fan Xiaoxue.

Xiao Wei was half lying on the hospital bed, trying to sit up straight and get up his energy to deal with Fan Xiaoxue: "Tell me, what's the matter with you?"

"Don't be so nervous. I won't beat you. It hurts my hands. Let me tell you. I have paid 20 yuan to your hospital account. In addition to the medical expenses of your hospitalization, the rest What I paid was the money to buy medicine for my mother, no matter what, our Fan family can still afford the medicine."

Xiao Wei frowned, his face was ashen.He was hospitalized this time at a maximum of 10 yuan, and Fan's mother's medicines were worthless. Fan Xiaoxue took 20 yuan just to slap him in the face.

"Fan Xiaoxue, don't you just have some money at home, so what's there to be proud of!"

"It's nothing special, it's just that it attracts people's attention. Some people insist on coming to kneel and lick it. Of course, I will not forget to reward a good dog with a bite of dog food. The extra money will be used as a tip for you to play with me during this time Well, after all, the cowherd in the nightclub can also earn some money for accompanying drinks, can't he?"

Now that her face was torn apart, Fan Xiaoxue used her poisonous tongue to the extreme without any scruples, no matter how annoying she said.

"You bitch, with such a poisonous mouth, no wonder Gu Tao doesn't want you." Xiao Wei suddenly remembered something, and he laughed loudly: "Fan Xiaoxue, haven't you knelt and licked Gu Tao for so many years? It seems People are reluctant to feed you even a single bone."

Xiao Wei's words just hit the sore spot in Fan Xiaoxue's heart, she resisted the urge to rush up and slap Xiao Wei twice, and she did not show any weakness: "How could a poor bastard like you understand our childhood sweethearts? camaraderie, after all—what kid plays with the son of a criminal?"

"You bitch...see if I don't kill you!" Xiao Wei was completely irritated, struggling to get up from the bed, his violent movements accidentally involved the wound, the pain caused him to lose his strength for a moment and couldn't stand still, staggering Knocked down a pile of instruments and equipment beside the bed, making a loud bang

Looking at Xiao Wei who was in a state of distress on the ground, Fan Xiaoxue rang the call bell, smiled gracefully, then turned and left the ward.

Walking out of the city hospital, Fan Xiaoxue was like a deflated ball, her spirit suddenly became fatigued, and she completely lost the momentum she had just angered Xiao Wei in the ward.

It's a big blow to any woman to be stepped into two boats.

When Fan Xiaoxue found out what had happened from Su Yue at first, she was so furious that she wished she could drive back to Yuzhou immediately.Later, I heard that Gu Tao injured Xiao Wei in order to vent her anger, and even went to the police station himself.Fan Xiaoxue understood that her friends had good intentions for her, so she restrained herself from going to trouble Xiao Wei.

But even if the police station came forward to mediate, they would still have to pay for the medical expenses if they were sent to the hospital. Of course, Fan Xiaoxue couldn't let the Gu family pay the money, so during the lunch break, she suppressed the anger in her heart and drove to the city hospital to settle the medical expenses. Yes, I ran to disgust Xiao Wei by the way.

----

Xincheng Law Firm.

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Gao Cheng had just finished a big case and returned to his office in a happy mood. He took out an exquisite box from the incubator, unpacked it skillfully, and stuffed a truffle-shaped chocolate into his mouth.

The limited-edition imported chocolate melts in the mouth, and the silky and mellow liquid instantly fills the mouth. The sweetness and bitterness are integrated and layered, bringing a happy taste enjoyment.This is Gaocheng's most leisurely dessert time after a busy day.

After eating three chocolate balls in one go, Gao Cheng resealed the package and put the remaining half back into the incubator.He knows that any enjoyment must be moderate, and being too easily satisfied will continuously increase the threshold of happiness.

Before it was time to get off work, Gao Cheng was ready to pack up and go home.As a partner of a law firm, sometimes I leave work early and no one will ask me.

"Squeak!" The phone beeped.

Gao Cheng picked up the phone and looked - "She went to Shiguang Bar, the address is 211 Jinsheng Road."

"Thank you!" Gao Cheng replied briefly, then transferred a 1000 yuan red envelope, and then deleted the chat history.

In the evening, pick up the light bar.

Groups of men and women on the dance floor shook their heads with the flickering colored lights, twisting their bodies like a group of demons dancing wildly. In the nightclub, the background music had a strong rhythm, as if even the air was trembling with it.

Fan Xiaoxue was sitting alone in the corner of the bar, and the warm atmosphere outside had nothing to do with her.She just sat quietly, drinking whiskey after glass, watching the excited crowd with cold eyes.

"Is the beauty alone?" A red-haired young man sat down on the seat next to Fan Xiaoxue.

In nightclubs, there is always no shortage of big beauties who are alone to strike up a conversation with, and this is already the third one tonight.

Fan Xiaoxue didn't chase people away immediately like before, her cheeks were smoky, she squinted at the young man beside her, and under the cover of loud music, she said loudly as if venting: "Yeah, what's wrong with being alone?"

The red-haired young man smiled and said, "I'm alone too, how about beauty find a quiet place and I'll buy you a drink?"

A bottle of whiskey on the table was already half empty, Fan Xiaoxue was dizzy, and just about to say "Okay!", an arm suddenly came between her and the red-haired man.

Fan Xiaoxue looked up and was stunned for a while before realizing: "Senior Gao Cheng? Why are you here?"

Gao Cheng politely and coldly said to the red-haired young man, "I'm sorry my friend drank too much."

Seeing this, the red-haired young man whistled, got up and gave up his seat.

Fan Xiaoxue put the wine bottle in front of Gao Cheng with a bang: "Senior came just in time, drink with me!"

Gao Cheng raised his voice and said, "I just got a few bottles of good wine, how about going to my place to drink, it's too noisy here,"

Fan Xiaoxue nodded obediently, and was staggered into the car by Gao Cheng.

☆, food poisoning

Although Gao Cheng wanted to coax Fan Xiaoxue out of the noisy and crowded place like a nightclub, he did have a lot of wine in his home. Wine bottles of various sizes and shapes were neatly placed in the wine cabinet. A bottle, some of which look like they have been opened.

Through the glass door, Fan Xiaoxue dazzled at the various wines placed in the wine cabinet, and asked curiously: "Isn't the senior not fond of drinking? Why did you buy so many wines for investment and collection?"

"Alcohol investment and collection is a very professional field. I don't have the time to do this. I bought these wines for dessert."

Gao Cheng patiently explained to Fan Xiaoxue which wines taste better with which desserts.It was the first time Fan Xiaoxue knew that desserts can be served not only with milk and coffee, but also with red wine, and she found it very interesting for a while.Gao Cheng is also happy to use some new things to draw Fan Xiaoxue's attention away from the self-abandonment of broken love.

"This apple sparkling wine is good with caramel mille-feuille. I just made some yesterday. Would you like to try it?"

"Senior can make desserts?" Fan Xiaoxue blinked, as if she had discovered a new world. She knew Gao Cheng loved all kinds of desserts a long time ago, but she didn't expect him to make them by himself.

Gao Cheng smiled and said modestly: "Follow the video tutorials on the Internet, you can do it too, junior girl."

I don't know if it's because I didn't eat at night. Fan Xiaoxue only thinks that the caramel mille-feuille made by Gao Cheng is very delicious. With half a glass of sparkling wine, she ate five yuan without knowing it. The golden rule of "sweets" has been forgotten.

Gao Cheng couldn't drive Fan Xiaoxue home after drinking, and he didn't worry about her getting drunk alone at night to take a taxi, so he simply let Fan Xiaoxue spend the night in his guest room.

The next morning, Fan Xiaoxue was woken up by the mobile phone beside her pillow.

She opened her eyes, took the mobile phone in a daze, and wanted to turn off the alarm clock and sleep for a while, but found that it was her father who called, so she quickly pressed the call button, said in a hache, "Hey, what happened so early, Dad?" Call up?"

"Xiaoxue, your mother fell ill and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. You should hurry back to Changzhou." Father Fan's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.

Fan Xiaoxue sat up from the bed at once, most of the drunkenness and drowsiness disappeared, she rubbed her eyes and said, "Why did you suddenly get sick? Didn't Mom say that you are in better health recently?"

"Your mother has been feeling vaguely sick to her stomach recently. She wanted to find time to go to the hospital for a checkup, but she woke up this morning with vomiting and diarrhea. She couldn't even stand upright. I called an ambulance to take her to the hospital."

"Dad, don't worry, I'll be back as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Fan Xiaoxue quickly put on her clothes and rushed to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth.

At this time Gao Cheng also got up, seeing Fan Xiaoxue's hurried appearance, he smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will drive you off later, the bonus will not be deducted for being late."

After Fan Xiaoxue washed her face, she dug out a little of the moisturizing cream that Gao Cheng gave her last night and applied it on her face two or three times casually, and said, "My mother was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. I have to go back to Changzhou immediately."

Zhao Qin's health has not been very good these years, and she has to go to the hospital every three days, and she has tried various health remedies on weekdays.When Gao Cheng was working under Zhao Qin, he often saw her drinking various soups in the office.

Gao Cheng restrained his smile, and said seriously, "Then I'll drive you back."

"No senior, I'll just go back by myself." Fan Xiaoxue neatly tied her hair back, and then lightly sniffed herself. Fortunately, there was no smell of alcohol.

When he came to the living room, he saw that Gao Cheng had already packed it up. He picked up the bag on the table and put it under his arm, picked up a plastic bag with his right hand, and said to Fan Xiaoxue, "Let's go, I prepared sandwiches and milk for you for breakfast, wait a minute I'll drive you back to Changzhou, and you eat on the way."

"But—" Fan Xiaoxue knew that Gao Cheng had caused a lot of trouble last night, so she was embarrassed to ask him to send her back early in the morning.

"It's very convenient to get on the highway from me. It takes only one and a half hours to get to Changzhou. But you have to take a taxi home during the morning rush hour, and then drive to Changzhou by yourself for at least three hours. The situation with Aunt Zhao is unknown, the sooner you can go back The better at home." As a lawyer, Gao Cheng always knows how to persuade people the easiest way.

"Don't be polite to me about these things, if you want to thank me, remember to prepare a limited edition chocolate." Gao Cheng added with a smile.

Fan Xiaoxue said: "Since this is the case, I have to trouble the senior again. The limited edition chocolate is paired with the wine you mentioned last night."

Not long after getting in the car, Fan Xiaoxue found out that Gao Cheng had really considered everything thoroughly.

She drank too much last night, and the sequelae were very obvious this morning. Not only did she have severe temple pain, but she was also very sleepy. Driving on the highway in this state is really dangerous.

Not long after breakfast, Fan Xiaoxue's upper and lower eyelids couldn't stop fighting, and soon she couldn't hold on anymore. Under Gao Cheng's suggestion, she adjusted the seat to catch up on sleep in the car.

Gao Cheng didn't go to Fan Xiaoxue's house, but drove directly to the hospital.

When the two arrived, the doctor was washing Zhao Ting's stomach.Father Fan paced back and forth outside the consultation room, looking at the door of the consultation room from time to time.

Seeing his daughter coming, he did not forget to ask concerned: "We're here so soon, have you had breakfast?" Then he was a little surprised to see Gao Cheng beside Fan Xiaoxue: "Isn't this Lawyer Gao?"

"Hello, Uncle Fan! Xiaoxue worked overtime last night, so it's inconvenient to drive this morning. I happened to come to Changzhou to do some business, so I dropped her off on the way." Knowing that Fan Xiaoxue didn't want her parents to worry, Gao Cheng concealed it for her from getting drunk at the nightclub thing.

Fan Wenzhou suddenly realized: "No wonder I called Xiaoxue this morning, and it took her a long time to answer, and she also looked like she was not awake on the phone."

"Dad, what happened to Mom?" Fan Xiaoxue was now even more worried about her mother's situation.

Fan Wenzhou sighed tiredly and said, "The doctor said your mother must have food poisoning."

"Food poisoning?" Both Gao Cheng and Fan Xiaoxue were surprised.

Gao Cheng was the first to react, and said to Fan Wenzhou: "Did Aunt Zhao eat some unclean food in the morning? If the source of the poison can be found, it will be convenient for the doctor to prescribe the right medicine."

"This morning, Xiaoxue and her mother ate mung bean porridge, buns and eggs. At first I thought it was a problem with breakfast, so I asked the nanny to pack the unfinished part for inspection. But the doctor's test said there was no problem. And I also ate these in the morning, and I haven’t felt uncomfortable until now.” Fan’s father said.

"What about last night?" Fan Xiaoxue asked.

Fan Wenzhou scratched his head and recalled: "Your mother didn't go out to socialize recently, she ate at home. Last night, she ate half a grapefruit more than me before meals. You know your mother pays attention to health care and eats before meals. Order some fruit and say it’s a vitamin supplement.”

When it came to health care, Fan Xiaoxue immediately thought of something, and said in panic, "It's those medicines!".

Fan Wenzhou and Gao Cheng looked at her blankly.

Fan Xiaoxue explained: "My mother will eat more than your father every day, besides fruits, it is her health-preserving soup."

Fan Wenzhou clapped his hands together, as if waking up from a dream: "You're right, recently your mother often went to do moxibustion with Mrs. Zhang's wife of Dah Sing Bank, and bought a bunch of messy Chinese medicines. The ones I brought, the entire refrigerator can’t fit.”

Fan Xiaoxue suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and pretended to be calm and said to her father: "I'll go home with Senior Gao and have a look. Dad, you will stay at the hospital and call if you need anything."

Fan Wenzhou glanced at Gao Cheng, hesitant: "Isn't Gao Cheng still busy, you can take a taxi back by yourself."

Gao Cheng hurriedly laughed and said, "It's still early for me. Anyway, I have nothing to do now. It's better to pass the time for Xiaoxue as a driver than to wait for customers."

The situation was urgent, and Fan Wenzhou couldn't be more polite to Gao Cheng. He watched his daughter drag Gao Cheng away from the hospital in a hurry.

After getting in the car and setting the navigation to Fan Xiaoxue's home, Gao Cheng skillfully drove the car out of the parking lot and merged into the long traffic flow.

"What's wrong with those medicines?" Gao Cheng asked casually while turning the steering wheel.

Fan Xiaoxue's reaction just now was too intense, as if she was sure that there was something wrong with those health-preserving soups.

Fan Xiaoxue stared blankly at the vehicle in front of her, and tightly grabbed the seat belt on her chest with both hands: "I don't know what's wrong with those medicines, but some medicines are... Xiao Wei asked someone to prescribe them."

Gao Cheng understood immediately, and comforted him softly: "Don't scare yourself, it may not be that there is something wrong with those medicines, take it easy."

As soon as Fan Xiaoxue entered the house, she didn't even have time to change her shoes, so she went straight to the kitchen at home.

When I opened the refrigerator, as my father said, most of the refrigerator was filled with various tonics, including traditional Chinese medicine powder in lock boxes, prepared medicinal materials wrapped in kraft paper, and some that had been boiled and used. Traditional Chinese medicine liquid packed in plastic bags.

Gao Cheng walked behind Fan Xiaoxue, glanced at the various medicines in the refrigerator, and asked, "Do you know which ones Xiao Wei bought?"

Fan Xiaoxue rummaged in the refrigerator, "I found it, it should be this." Fan Xiaoxue took out a cylindrical lock plastic box, which contained five or six packs of herbs tied up with thin wires, and it could be smelled from a distance. The bitter taste of traditional Chinese medicine.

Gao Cheng took out one of the packages and opened it. Inside were slices of several kinds of Chinese herbal medicines.Gao Cheng rewrapped the medicine, and said to Fan Xiaoxue, "Xiaoxue, go find some bags, put a copy of each medicine in the refrigerator, and have it checked by someone."

"Other medicines also need to be tested?" Fan Xiaoxue still felt that there was a problem with Xiao Wei's medicine.

Gao Cheng nodded: "They all have to be tested. Now the Chinese medicine health care industry is mixed with good and evil people, and the medicines prescribed by Aunt Zhao outside are not guaranteed to be safe."

According to Gao Cheng's instructions, Fan Xiaoxue took a copy of all the medicines at home and put them in a fresh-keeping bag, and then the two hurried back to the hospital by car.

Zhao Qin's tonic medicines are all traditional Chinese medicines, Fan Wenzhou suggested to find a familiar Chinese medicine doctor first.

Gao Cheng said: "Why don't Xiaoxue take a rest with Auntie in the hospital first, Auntie Zhao must not be feeling well just after washing her stomach, I will send Uncle Fan to a Chinese doctor to see the medicine, and I will pick you up later."

Fan Xiaoxue also wanted to stay with her weak mother on the hospital bed: "Well, be careful on the road."

After tossing back and forth for two hours, Gao Cheng drove Fan Xiaoxue's family home to rest.

Fan Wenzhou sat in the passenger seat, turned his head and counted Zhao Qin: "How many times have I told you that the medicine is three-point poisonous, don't take medicine indiscriminately if you are not sick, you just don't listen, and you say that Chinese medicine is nourishing, It's nothing serious. You can see that you went around to prescribe all kinds of medicines and took them indiscriminately, and then something went wrong."

Fan Xiaoxue said: "Dad, you can say a few words less, Mom already knows it's wrong."

Fan Wenzhou and Gao Cheng showed Zhao Qin's pile of medicines to an old Chinese doctor they had known for many years, and it turned out that the medicine prescribed by Xiao Wei was fine, and it was indeed a prescription for regulating qi deficiency.The problem was that some of the other medicines hurt the stomach, and Zhao Qin was taking them at the same time. The dose was too high for a while, and people couldn't bear it, so they vomited and had diarrhea.

Zhao Qin knew she was wrong, and was tossed about for another day, sitting in the back seat and said weakly: "Okay, I will listen to you from now on, and ask the nanny to throw away all the messy medicines in the refrigerator when I get back, okay?" .”

In the afternoon, Gao Cheng drove back to Yuzhou alone, and Fan Xiaoxue simply asked the company for two days off to stay at home with his parents.

Gao Cheng returned home, opened his briefcase, and took out a pack of medicinal materials from it.Then he called the assistant: "Hi, it's Gao Cheng, please help me contact a drug testing institution as soon as possible. I have some things that need to be sent for inspection."

☆, go home for the New Year

The Spring Festival is approaching, and the whole country has opened the Spring Festival travel mode. The major transportation hubs in Yuzhou City are crowded with people every day. College students carrying schoolbags on their shoulders and returning home from winter vacation, migrant workers returning home with paint buckets and snakeskin bags, and their wives. The little white-collar workers whose children go home to see their parents... All kinds of people embark on their own journeys for the same goal, forming a magnificent population migration.

For the past few days, the cold air sweeping across the country has not affected the festive atmosphere of the traditional festival at all. Whether it is a metropolis like Yuzhou or a small county like Lewen, there are lights and festoons everywhere.

If you have money or not, go home for the New Year.As the day approached to go home, Xu Jinghan became more and more anxious.

When he learned that Gu Tao had entered the police station because of beating someone, he returned to Yuzhou in spite of his parents' strong opposition, and the relationship with his family was once tense. He called home several times, but his parents hung up without saying a word. his phone.Going home for the Chinese New Year this time, Xu Jinghan didn't even know whether his parents would let him in or not.

Gu Tao felt that it didn't matter, he half-lyed on the sofa and watched American dramas and said casually: "It's better not to enter the house, at worst, go back to my house for the New Year."

As soon as the words came out, Gu Tao really thought the idea was good. He got up from the sofa, walked to the kitchen, hugged Xu Jinghan who was washing the dishes from behind, and said expectantly: "Why don't you come home with me?" , I promise, I will definitely let you enter my Gu family's door openly."

"Let go, don't hug me, I'm washing the dishes, be careful not to break the bowl." Xu Jinghan twisted his body left and right, trying to break free from the strong arms around his waist.

"Jing Han will go back with me to celebrate the New Year!" Gu Tao continued to say persistently.

"Don't even think about it." Xu Jinghan resolutely refused. In order to prevent someone from making any further plans, Xu Jinghan sternly stated that he would not go to Gu Tao's house for the New Year before Gu Tao's parents agreed to the two dating.

Gu Tao was originally just on a whim, and didn't expect Xu Jinghan to agree. Anyway, there will be such a day sooner or later, and he is not in a hurry.

The most urgent task right now is to prepare a decent gift for Xu Jinghan's parents, his future father-in-law and mother-in-law, and let Xu Jinghan take it back with him, in order to leave a good impression on Xu Jinghan's parents.

The gift should not be too expensive, for fear that Xu Jinghan's parents will not accept it, nor should it be too poor.In the end, Gu Tao bought a cashmere shawl for Xu's mother and a watch for Xu's father, spending a total of more than 1 yuan.

After Xu Jinghan found out, he was unwilling to accept it at first.

"No, I can't accept such an expensive gift. Gu Tao, you haven't gone to work yet, don't waste money."

Gu Tao put his arms around Xu Jinghan's shoulder and said, "I know Jinghan you are diligent and thrifty in managing the house, but this gift is not for you, I prepared it for my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Xu Jinghan patted Gu Tao's hand off his shoulder: "No, I didn't even give your parents a present." After speaking, he got up from the sofa to pack his luggage.

Gu Tao grabbed his hand: "You can't say that, my family's situation is a bit different, for example, this watch, it's too low-grade and my dad would lose face if it's too high-grade, maybe he'll be the second one." Cousin’. If you want to give them gifts, why not come home with me and cook a few meals for them, it’s more practical to show filial piety.”

He paused, then pulled Xu Jinghan onto his lap and sat down: "Jing Han, please help me take the gift back to your parents, just say that we bought it together, give me some impression points, Secondly, it is also a little filial piety of yours."

In the end, Xu Jinghan couldn't resist Gu Tao, and sighed helplessly: "Next time you should discuss this with me first."

"Okay, okay, I will listen to you in the future." Seeing Xu Jinghan reluctantly give in, Gu Tao quickly nodded his promise.

As soon as the Chinese New Year comes, the small town of Lewen has changed from the loneliness and desertedness of the past, and there is a scene of heavy traffic.A large number of non-local vehicles poured into the originally not very spacious road, and it was completely blocked.

Xu Jinghan had just returned home, although Xu Siyuan and Gao Liping let him in, but his face was still not very good. Fortunately, the couple did not want to reprimand Xu Jinghan on New Year's Eve.

For more than ten years, the Xu family's New Year's Eve dinner has always been mandarin duck hot pot with dumplings.The hot pot dishes were bought a few days ago. Gao Liping's biggest job on her [-]th day was washing and cutting vegetables and making dumplings.

At noon, Xu Jinghan took out the gift that Gu Tao bought while Gao Liping was resting: "It's Chinese New Year, Gu Tao bought some small gifts to honor you and Dad, see if you like it."

"If you buy any gift, you know how to spend money." Gao Liping heard that Gu Tao bought it, and took the gift box from Xu Jinghan with a cold face, "What did you buy?"

Xu Jinghan said, "You'll know when you take it apart and take a look."

Opening the outer package, Gao Liping's eyes lit up with the bright red cashmere shawl. Although she couldn't read the foreign letters on the box, she knew it was a good product when she touched the shawl.

Gao Liping couldn't help the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, and kept telling her, "Don't let the other party spend money indiscriminately in the future."

Xu Jinghan took out the gift box containing the watch from his bag and handed it to his father: "Dad, Gu Tao also bought a gift for you, please open it and have a look."

After receiving the gift from Xu Jinghan, Xu Siyuan didn't open it immediately, but looked at Xu Jinghan and asked seriously: "How much did that man spend on the gift? Did you buy something for his parents?"

Xu Jinghan said calmly: "Gu Tao asked his friends to bring these two items from abroad. There is no customs duty, and they are much cheaper than domestic ones, so they didn't cost much. Gu Tao said that it is inconvenient for public officials to wear accessories, so I bought them." Let him take two bottles of imported red wine home."

Xu Siyuan nodded and said: "Although our family's economic conditions are not as good as his family's, your parents have read a few books seriously anyway, and the son who taught them must never be greedy for others' cheap, and there must be reciprocity when giving things. ?"

It's embarrassing enough for a son to like a man, Xu Siyuan absolutely doesn't want others to say that he sold his son for money.

"I understand." Xu Jinghan complied obediently, silently heaving a sigh of relief, and at the same time admired Gu Tao more and more.

Two days ago, when he was tidying up the room, Gu Tao suddenly walked into the second bedroom and asked him, "If your parents ask about the price of the gift, what will you do?"

Xu Jinghan who was folding clothes was stunned for a moment, a little uncertain: "Tell me the truth?"

Gu Tao sighed helplessly, and said, "If it were you, Jing Han, would you accept an expensive gift from someone you hate?"

"No." Xu Jinghan blurted out without thinking.

Gu Tao crossed his arms around his chest, leaned against the closet, raised his chin and said, "Hey, that's right. A junior, give a small gift when the time comes during the Chinese New Year, even if you don't like this person, But the gift will still be accepted. But if the gift is too expensive, then you will worry that he will ask for you, and you will not accept what he asks, so you will definitely not accept the generous gift. "

Xu Jinghan stopped what he was doing, thought for a while and said, "Then how much do I say things are not worth?"

Gu Tao shook his head again and said, "Jing Han, this is just like your public exam interview. Not only do you have to answer your opinions, but you also have to give reasonable reasons. The quality and quality of the things I bought are not low, no matter how bad they are for you. Parents can also search the brand online, so you can’t just say it’s worthless and they’ll keep asking.”

Xu Jinghan was a little at a loss, and asked humbly for advice: "Then what should I say?"

Gu Tao said: "If I were you, I would tell my parents like this..."

Relying on Gu Tao's gift and foresight, Xu Jinghan successfully broke the stiff atmosphere with his parents.

Gao Liping walked to the fitting mirror next to the shoe cabinet, put on a cashmere shawl, turned around to look in the mirror, and kept asking Xu Siyuan what he thought: "Husband, come and see, do you think I am wearing this red shawl?" Especially foreign?"

"Wait a minute." Xu Siyuan was taking out the watch from the gift box to try it on.

Gao Liping was impatient, and urged impatiently: "Come and help me see it! Do you think it looks good?"

Xu Siyuan put on his watch, stepped forward to have a look, and said with a smile: "It looks good, and you look good in red. Next time you go on a trip, put this on and I'll take a few more photos for you."

Gao Liping immediately burst into joy.

Here Xu Jinghan's family is rebuilt, and Gu Tao is not idle there.

Gu Tao's grandmother, Ms. Wang Shufen, is over 70 years old and insists on preparing the New Year's Eve dinner by herself.Gu Tao, the eldest grandson who is currently "unemployed at home", became a driver and porter.Not only is it responsible for driving grandma to go to the major markets to buy new year's goods, but also running up and down with big bags and small boxes in the winter, so busy.

At thirty in the afternoon, Gu Tao had just bought drinks from the supermarket, and finally moved them into the trunk of the car, when he received a call from Huang Xin: "Jiahui and Haohao came back by train together, it's not convenient to take a taxi today, you go Pick it up at the station."

Gu Tao was a little surprised: "They actually came back together?"

Huang Xin said: "Maybe I bought the same bus by chance."

"..." Gu Tao suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

Gu Tao's father, Gu Yaoguo, is the eldest son in the family, and he has two younger brothers and a younger sister.Cousin Gu Hao is a child of the second uncle's family, and cousin Gu Jiahui is the daughter of the third uncle.

Gu Hao is only one year older than Gu Jiahui, and because they are of the same age, the two often fought over toys and snacks when they were young.Gu Tao's deceased grandfather had some old ideas of patriarchal patriarchy, and always favored his little grandson Gu Hao.Gu Jiahui was very unconvinced by this, and wanted to overwhelm Gu Hao with everything.

But this younger sister is also fighting for her spirit, and she insists on making her cousin look like a pig or a dog.Needless to say, in terms of reading, Gu Jiahui's score in one subject is not counted, and the total score is several points higher than Gu Hao's.Gu Hao was forced by his mother to learn the piano, and Gu Jiahui also went to learn it. As a result, she passed Grade [-] three years earlier than Gu Hao.

What hurt Gu Hao the most was that he liked playing basketball very much and wanted to join the school team. Unfortunately, he was a little short in height, but Gu Jiahui managed to get into the school's women's basketball team.Whenever relatives and friends sit together and talk about the child, Gu Hao's mother can't wait to stuff him back in her stomach and be reborn.

Now that both of them are in college, they still don't like each other.

Gu Jiahui studied finance at a 985 school in Rongcheng, and Gu Hao studied engineering cost at a second school in Yuzhou.Unexpectedly, the two of them took the same bus home today.

☆、Thinking of people during the festive season

Gu Tao parked the car and came to the exit. After waiting for a long time, he saw Gu Jiahui wearing a knitted hat and two thick scarves around her neck. She was carrying a satchel on her left shoulder, and she was holding a pink-gold robe in her right hand. The suitcase came out along the flow of people.

Gu Jiahui also saw Gu Tao, waved to him and shouted: "Brother!", then trotted two steps while pulling the box, stepped forward to give Gu Tao a big hug.

"Oh my sister, I haven't seen her in the past half a year, she has become more and more fashionable and beautiful." Gu Tao smiled and hugged his sister.

Gu Jiahui chuckled, "Really? I don't think I have changed much except for gaining weight, but my eldest brother is becoming more and more like a domineering president. Men still have a little muscle to hold the scene, and they are too thin like some white chickens." It's not pretty."

Gu Tao knew she was mocking Gu Hao, so he pretended not to hear: "Where's Gu Hao? Isn't he on the same bus as you? Why didn't you see him?"

Gu Jiahui pursed her lips: "I saw it when I got out of the car, who knows where I'm lingering now."

Gu Tao was about to call Gu Hao when he saw Gu Hao walking over with a black schoolbag and his hands in his pockets with a cool expression on his back.

"Handsome guy, hurry up, Jiahui pulls such a big suitcase out, and the elders in the family are still waiting for us to go back and have dinner." Gu Tao put his arms around his cousin's shoulders, and took the suitcase in Gu Jiahui's hand with the other hand, and took it with him. Follow the siblings to the parking lot.

The Gu family spends New Year's Eve in the old house every year.Now only Wang Shufen and a nanny live in the old house.But Gu Yaoguo's four brothers and sisters are very filial, and one of their children comes to the old house to accompany the old man every week, so Wang Shufen doesn't feel lonely.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and there were not many pedestrians and vehicles on the road, Gu Tao drove the car to the old house without hindrance.

Upon entering the door, they were indeed the last group of people to arrive home, and the three juniors kept saying hello to the elders.

Gu Tao washed his hands and helped grandma put the carefully prepared dishes on the table.

The Gu family's New Year's Eve dinner is full of chicken, duck and fish, and there are more than a dozen dishes on large plates and small plates that need to be stacked on top of each other to barely put them all on the table.This year, there are not only sausages, fried bacon with garlic sprouts, and steamed sea bass, which are must-have dishes for the New Year, but Grandma Wang also learned three new dishes on TV: black pepper steak, pan-fried cod, and spicy hot pot, which made people salivate. The saying "every festive season puts on three catties" is not in vain.

After the family was seated, Gu Yaoguo, as the eldest son, first briefly summarized the situation of the Gu family this year, and then the whole family toasted together, announcing the beginning of the New Year's Eve dinner.

On weekdays, the Gu family is busy with their own business, except for the holidays, the family rarely
