Chapter 145 Return Gift
When Hong Gu and Dr. Xu came over again, they brought a lot of things, all of which were tonics, including fish maw, bird's nest, and sea cucumber. This sea cucumber is more than twice the size of the one Lu Jiaxin bought herself.
When Lu Jiaxin saw these things, she understood that these things should have been brought from Hong Kong City, but she was worried because she didn't see anyone. Seeing that she looked exactly like Ms. Gu, Aunt Hong took it over. This is also human nature, after all, no matter how much you hear it, it is more real than seeing it with your own eyes.
Honggu said: "Miss Cousin, these things are very nourishing. You should eat more because you are weak now, so that you can get better quickly."
Lu Jiaxin declined politely: "I'm taking medicine, and I can't eat many things. I heard that Ms. Gu is not in good health, so I'll keep these for herself."
"The old lady has them. These are specially bought for you."
Lu Jiaxin still refused, saying that she would not be rewarded for her efforts, and gave her the money she had prepared: "This is the money for a color TV and a refrigerator. I'm sorry, I don't have foreign exchange, so I can only give Chinese dollars."
Honggu was stunned. She didn't expect that Lu Jiaxin not only didn't want the supplements, but also wanted to pay back the money for the home appliances. She pushed the money back to Lu Jiaxin and said with a smile: "Miss Cousin, before I came here, the old lady asked me to buy something for you if you were short of anything."
Lu Jiaxin said sincerely: "Honggu, when my mother was still alive, she often said that you can't just accept other people's things. Even if the appraisal results prove that Ms. Gu is my aunt, I can't ask for so many things from her. Whatever is missing, I will I will find a way to make money and buy it myself.”
Like TVs and refrigerators, it's not that she can't afford them but she can't use them yet. She has a radio and listens to the news and the BBC every day. As for the refrigerator, Sijiucheng is a natural refrigerator in winter, so be prepared to buy it when it is hot.
The smile on Aunt Hong's face became even stronger when she heard this: "I know without identification that you must be the old lady's granddaughter. Cousin, the old lady bought this specially for you to replenish your health. As the old saying goes, The elder's gift is indispensable, and my cousin cannot let down the old lady's loving heart."
Now that the conversation has come to this point, Lu Jiaxin can no longer refuse.
Hong Gu took out her camera to take pictures of Lu Jiaxin. She felt that the clothes she was wearing were too plain: "Miss Cousin, do you have any clothes with brighter colors? Little girls look more beautiful in brighter clothes."
Lu Jiaxin has bright clothes, but she is not willing to change them: "I think these clothes are pretty, so let's take pictures like this!"
There was no denying that the clothes fit her well and suited her figure, but the color was too plain. Honggu said: "Old ladies like bright clothes to look good-looking and energetic."
Lu Jiaxin yelled, "Let's take a picture!"
Ms. Gu likes bright clothes, that's her business, it has nothing to do with her. She can do whatever she wants to wear and do, and no one can tell her what to do.
Aunt Hong thinks she has a bad temper.
After taking the photo, Lu Jiaxin said she wanted to take a nap when she was tired: "I take a nap at this time every day. If I don't take a nap, I won't be energetic in the afternoon and evening."
She didn't like what happened just now, and she didn't want to continue dealing with Hong Gu. Under this situation, even if she went to Hong Kong City, she would not live with Ms. Gu.
After going out, Hong Gu shook her head and said, "I have to tell the old lady about my cousin's temper."
She just doesn't want to change into bright clothes. When they go to Hong Kong City and enter the He family, they will have a conflict with Miss Sun and Young Master Sun. The old lady will still be in trouble.
Dr. Xu is Ms. Gu's personal doctor. His thoughts are different from Honggu's: "Honggu, Miss Cousin and Miss Xing have completely different tempers. The old lady may like them more."
Xing Yujun has a gentle temperament and a gentle person. He has never seen this girl lose his temper since he served Mrs. Gu. The result? He Shengbin from the third room was able to coax her away with just a few words, almost killing Mrs. Gu. With such a precedent, the old lady would be worried if her cousin also had such a temper.
Xue Mao asked strangely: "Sister Xin, why did they leave? After giving us such valuable things, we should stay with them for dinner."
Lu Jiaxin yawned and said, "They can't get used to our food. Okay, I'm sleepy, go ahead and do your own thing!"
Color TVs and refrigerators are big things, and they are seen by many people in the alley, not to mention the fat aunt. I thought Lu Jiaguang would come over to ask after get off work, but he didn't expect to see anyone after dark.
At dawn the next day, Aunt Hong and Dr. Xu came and knocked on the door. Doctor Xu drew blood from Lu Jiaxin, carefully put it away and prepared to leave.
Lu Jiaxin handed the square red box engraved with peonies to Honggu. When Honggu looked confused, she explained: "I gave this to Ms. Gu. I hope she will like it."
After receiving so many things from Ms. Gu, she would definitely want to reciprocate the gift. After thinking about it last night, I thought it would be best to reciprocate the jade ornaments. She would not touch the jewelry left by Mother Lu, and the mutton-fat jade jewelry Su Heming gave her was just right.
Hong Gu was also used to seeing good things. She was a little surprised when she saw this box. She took it with both hands and said, "The old lady will definitely like the things my cousin gave me."
Because they had to catch a flight, the two people left quickly.
After Lu Jiaxin sent the person away, she washed her face and started playing Baduanjin with Xiaoxiao. After a few months of perseverance, she is now playing well.
Sitting on the car, Dr. Xu saw this quaint box and said, "Aunt Hong, does the texture and color of this box look like the old lady's dressing table?"
Honggu nodded and said, "The old lady's dressing table is made of huanghuali wood, and this box is the same."
Doctor Xu did not think this was a coincidence and felt that the girl was very generous. The old lady was in this state now, so she should find a younger generation who had his own opinions and was not easily manipulated by others.
After breakfast, Lu Jiaxin went to the telephone office. As soon as the phone was connected, she said, "Su Heming, I'm sorry, I gave the things you gave me to someone else."
Su Heming knew the whole story and said, "I thought you called me early in the morning for something important? The things are yours, and I don't need to tell you how to deal with them."
Lu Jiaxin said, "I have to tell you if I give the gifts you gave me to someone else."
Su Heming didn't care that she gave the things away, but he was curious about who she gave them to: "Who is so proud that Sister Jiaxin gave him jewelry worth tens of thousands?"
In Pengcheng, a complete set of mutton-fat jade jewelry costs tens of thousands, and it will cost at least five times more in a jewelry store in Gangcheng. His brother reminded him to keep the old items and jade ornaments in his hands and not to give them away or sell them.
Lu Jiaxin said, "It was Ms. Gu. She arranged for someone to come to Sijiu City to draw blood from me and take it back to Hong Kong City for DNA testing to determine whether we are related. She gave me a lot of tonics to eat, and also bought me a color TV and a refrigerator. She gave me so many things, I must give a gift in return, and what you gave is just right."
"Ms. Gu, no wonder."
