Free heart

While talking, the two had already taken the elevator to the parking lot in the basement, and they did not stroll around the lawns of the community as before.Zhou Lin knew that Shen Xiaoxiao was playing a "game" with her elder brother, but she still defended Shen Ying in her heart, "Hey, have you decided what kind of gift you want to buy?"

Shen Xiaoxiao walked out of the elevator and said, "When I was in the United States, if I wanted to go to a friend's house for dinner, I only needed to bring a bottle of good red wine. So, my original intention was to buy a bottle of high-quality red wine. Your parents' house."

Zhou Lin was secretly happy. She thought that her sister-in-law could let her boyfriend Shen Ying go.Then he deliberately asked, "Why only bring one bottle of wine? Doesn't bringing two bottles show your respect for the master?"

Shen Xiaoxiao looked at her calmly and said, "Americans don't pay much attention to what the Chinese call 'pairing'. They think that odd numbers are auspicious. You can only bring one bottle of wine when you are invited to a dinner party. If you bring two The owner of the bottle will think you're trying to get him drunk."

"So that's the case. Well, I can take you to Isetan, which sells some high-end red wine."

"Thank you. Well, is there a large supermarket near Parkway Park?"

"Yes, after leaving the community, walk north along Wanping South Road for 15 minutes, and there is a French Carrefour."

"I see, let's go there first."

"Go to Carrefour? Why?" Zhou Lin asked curiously when she opened the car door.

"Of course I'm going to buy gifts." Xiaoxiao laughed lightly and got into the car.

When driving on Fenggu Road outside the community, Zhou Lin asked again, "Aren't you planning to buy just a bottle of red wine?"

Xiao Xiao said, "Yes, but I have returned to China now. Besides, we went to your parents' house, so of course we shouldn't make our Shen family too shabby."

"Hey, how come? Even if you don't buy anything, my parents won't underestimate your Shen family."

"Zhou Lin, I feel that you seem to care that Shen Ying will pay for today's shopping."

"No!?"

"Zhou Lin, if someone tells me some information in an indirect way, I will think that I have been manipulated by others and I am not worthy of my trust."

"Okay, okay, I'll just tell you. Just one sentence, I don't mind if you use Shen Ying's money to buy things you like."

"You mean borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, right?"

"Well, almost." Zhou Lin nodded.

"However, Shen Ying's original words were: 'What kind of gifts do you think I should buy to show my filial piety to my future son-in-law?'" Xiao Xiao told what the other party didn't know.

"Did he say so?"

"of course."

"Sorry, little one. I, I thought..."

"Do you think I really want to play that 'Angel's Revenge Plan'?"

"Xiao Xiao, actually I don't know you that well."

"I know, there will be a lot of time for you to get to know me in the future."

Fifteen minutes later, when the car drove into the door of Carrefour on Xietu Road, Xuhui District, the relationship between the two had been resolved.Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the entrance of Carrefour on the sidewalk on the right, "Why do I feel that this Carrefour seems to be built in an underground garage?"

Zhou Lin saw the entrance of Carrefour's underground garage on the right 20 meters ahead, "This is Xuhui District, one of the downtown areas of Shanghai. Of course, every inch of land is expensive."

At this moment, mother Wang Cuiping received another call from her daughter Zhou Lin, saying that her boyfriend was also coming to the house for dinner.She had no choice but to go out in a hurry and buy some delicious food to entertain her future son-in-law.

At around 5:[-] in the afternoon, Zhou Lin walked out of Carrefour's cash register carrying two gift paper bags, and Shen Xiaoxiao carrying another gift bag and a large gift fruit basket.

The Kweichow Moutai gift bag carried by Zhou Lin contained two bottles of 53-degree Feitian Moutai liquor, with a unit price of 880 yuan per bottle; in another cigarette paper bag, there were two soft packs of Zhonghua cigarettes, with a unit price of 650 yuan per bottle. strip.

In the gift wine bag carried by Shen Xiaoxiao, there is a bottle of 750ml Lafite Rothschild natural champagne imported from France, with a retail price of 597 yuan per bottle.And the beautifully packaged fruit basket is full of fresh and delicious imported fruits.

Nearly 4000 yuan of gifts were selected and paid by Shen Xiaoxiao alone.However, Zhou Lin had some complaints about the two bottles of Moutai she bought, "Xiao Xiao, my dad has been suffering from high blood pressure in recent years and cannot drink baijiu."

Shen Xiaoxiao walked forward shaking her head, "Oh, if you can't drink it, don't drink it."

"Then you still buy such an expensive Feitian Moutai?"

"Heart. If you can't drink it, just keep it as a collection at home."

"What you say makes sense. What about champagne? Didn't you say you wanted to buy a bottle of fine red wine?"

"I basically couldn't find high-quality red wine in their wine section, so I had to buy a bottle of champagne instead."

On the way back to her parents' house, Zhou Lin called Shen Ying and told him to rush to her parents' house after buying a gift. After 25 minutes, I drove back to Nanchangyuan, Lane 209, Changning Road.

Since Nanchangyuan is a residential community built in the 90s, the streets outside the community, which are only two cars wide, are a bit crowded.Coupled with the increasing number of private cars parked here in recent years, the street has almost become a "one-way street" with only one lane wide.

Looking at the row of various vehicles parked on the right side of the road, and looking at the street ahead that was only one car wide, Shen Xiaoxiao finally understood why Zhou Lin bought a hatchback with a manual transmission.

When there were more than 80 meters away from the gate of the community, a fast electric bicycle suddenly emerged from the alley on the right.Seeing this, Zhou Lin stepped on the brakes in a hurry, "Thirteen o'clock, don't die!"

The sudden unexpected situation did not give Zhou Lin a chance to think about it.While pressing the brakes, I forgot to press the clutch.As a result, the running car engine also caused her to step on it and turn it off.

A white BMW 5 Series 525Li four-door high-end sedan that followed her into the street also stepped on the brakes hastily, and then honked the car horn for four to five seconds at Zhou Lin's driver.

For Shen Xiaoxiao, who has lived in the United States for a long time, the behavior of the BMW can almost be described as uncivilized and brutal driving.Unable to bear the noise of the horn, she opened the car window, stretched her right arm out of the car and held it in mid-air, and raised her right middle finger to the BMW.

"What are you doing? Why can't I start the ignition??" Zhou Lin anxiously twisted the car key and stepped on the gas pedal again.

"It's nothing. Take your time, don't worry." Xiao Xiao said with a smile.

A few seconds later, Zhou Lin, who was sweating profusely, still didn't start the car engine.The BMW 5 Series four-door sedan in the back row pressed the car horn again.
