Chapter 35: Take the object home
Chapter 35 Take the object home
After getting ready, Gu Chen came over.
He pursed his lips, and took out a blue checked handkerchief from his pocket, with something wrapped inside.
"A gift for you." Gu Chen said with a smile: "Today is the day you officially meet with my parents, so I will give you a gift as... a token of love."
After speaking, he was still a little embarrassed, and he didn't dare to look at the person opposite him.
"What?" Shen Man was still very surprised, he didn't expect there to be a gift.
She took it and opened it, and it turned out to be a small silver watch. Although not as good-looking as my own, it is a new watch.
"Is this for me?" Shen Man looked at him in surprise.
Because the original owner has some information about the price in her memory, she knows how valuable the item is.
The cheapest lady’s watch costs 80 yuan, and the salary of a regular worker is almost three months, which is still a high salary.
Combined with thousands of dollars in future generations, this is not a cheap item.
"I can't take it, it's too expensive." Shen Man pushed it back directly, which is inappropriate.
Although two people are dating, they still can't accept expensive gifts, which is not good for anyone.
Hearing this, Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, and asked, "You don't like it? Then I can change it to something else."
Before he went to the department store, he heard that it was the latest model, and the little girls liked it. It was really not easy to go to the city for this watch.
But only Shen Man doesn't like it, he can change it again.
"No." Shen Man quickly waved his hands and said, "It's just too expensive..."
They are all rural families, where can they get so much money to buy watches? Although Gu Chen has a job, he must not have that much money, right?
Receiving gifts also depends on the salary of others. Too expensive ones put a lot of pressure on people.
Seeing what she meant, Gu Chen smiled and said, "It's okay, I thought you didn't like it. I offered to do it last month, with a salary of thirty-eight yuan a month, and various subsidies, about four It's more than ten dollars."
It is really not easy to have such a high salary in such a place.
Hearing what he said, Shen Man was a little curious, "What do you do for work?"
I learned from the memory of the original owner before that Shen’s father was engaged in underground coal mine operations, which is a high-risk industry. The monthly salary is basically more than 30 yuan, plus various subsidies, a total of more than 50 yuan.
I don’t see a factory in this place either.
Gu Chen didn't think much, and replied: "I work in a forest farm, which belongs to heavy industry, so the benefits are much better."
I see.
Shen Man nodded, then looked at his watch, thought about it and accepted it first, and at worst, just give him a similar gift in the future.
This kind of thing should not be returned, right?
The two went out one after the other, Gu Chen turned around and saw her carrying a bunch of things, a little surprised.
After Shen Man explained, he pursed his lips and said nothing, but he was still very happy in his heart. This is enough to prove that Shen Man attaches great importance to his family members.
People in collective households are no longer interested in them. They should play cards and read books.
Walking all the way to Gu's house, there were still many people watching them. Because it was daytime, there were quite a lot of people coming and going on the road.
"Gu Chen, what are you doing here?"
A middle-aged man who was acquainted with him asked, at this time, Gu Chen was working in the commune, and the brigade was full of celebrities, but the reputation of his wife was not very good.
Gu Chen smiled and nodded, "Fourth Uncle, I'll take my partner home to have a look."
object?
Hearing this, the man looked at Shen Man with only surprise in his eyes.
"Fourth Uncle." Shen Man greeted with a smile.
"Hey, okay, then you go." The man watched them leave, scratched his head and went home.
Of course I have to tell my wife about this matter, after all, the rumors about Gu Chen's overthrow of his wife are not just a day or two, but two or three years.
People passing by on the road, as long as they say hello and ask about Shen Man, Gu Chen will introduce them.
"Object."
"Well, I am interested."
"..."
Shen Man always followed Gu Chen's name to call someone, and greeted him with a smile, so he would never leave a bad impression on others.
"Second sister-in-law!"
Li Jinhua in the room was preparing to cook, Gu Chen said that an important guest was coming today, so he had to treat him with good food.
"What are you doing? What are you talking about?" She opened the door when she heard the sound, and saw the spring flowers across the house coming.
Chunhua didn't talk nonsense, and slapped the other party, "Second sister-in-law, you can really hide it, why don't you say that Boy Chen has a date? I'll show you to him at my mother's house."
She also heard it from others. In less than a few minutes, almost half of the brigade knew that Gu Chen had brought his partner home.
Hearing this, Li Jinhua was also stunned, "What object?"
Then she remembered, Gu Chen said that important people came to be guests, did they just bring their partners.
"Oh my god, this kid didn't say anything!" Li Jinhua slapped his thigh and said quickly, "I have to prepare some dishes, so I won't tell you yet!"
She doesn't care how the other party knows, anyway, it's a big deal for her son to bring his partner back, and she prepares the best things.
"Who is the target?" Gu Nan heard the movement in the room and came out, and saw that Aunt Chunhua across the door had left.
Li Jinhua greeted with a smile on his face: "Your second brother has brought the partner back, hurry up and get the chicken out of the water tank!"
"Huh? Didn't you say that you eat during the New Year?" Gu Nan was very surprised when she heard that the chicken was brought back from her uncle's house. It was just one.
"Your second brother has a partner and our family is celebrating the New Year! Go!" Li Jinhua didn't care how much he ate, and entered the house cheerfully.
Seeing that Gu Dacheng was still lying on the kang, he grabbed the other party's collar and pulled him back, "Get up quickly, go to the brigade to eat two catties, no, come back with five catties of meat!"
She went to the cabinet to dig out money while talking, it was a golden opportunity, and the family had to do it well.
"What are you doing? It's over?" Gu Dacheng was also at a loss seeing her flustered look.
Even if the New Year’s pig is killed, the family usually buys two catties of meat and makes dumplings twice during the Chinese New Year.
Now it costs five catties to buy it, so I'm really willing to do it.
Hearing this, Li Jinhua chuckled, "Your son has brought his girlfriend back, so we can't eat something good? Hurry up, pork belly, I'll make some braised pork!"
As soon as Gu Dacheng heard that his son had brought a date back, Gu Dacheng didn't have time to ask any more questions, so he immediately went to buy meat.
It can be seen that the Gu family cares a lot about Gu Chen's personal problems now, and that is the top priority.
Li Jinhua was afraid that her son would find another man in his thirties. How could there be a big girl at that time? She didn't want her son to marry a second marriage.
Gu Nan from the outhouse came back with the chicken and threw it into the basin to soak it in water.
It’s really Chinese New Year, and all the delicious food has been brought out.
There are small salted fish and chicken on the side of the pot. Isn’t this what you eat during the Chinese New Year? In addition to being able to make multiple dumplings.
Boy Chen is dating!
