nosy on you

pick a gift for grandma

I spent New Year's Eve with him this year.

How to accompany?

Where have you been?

Chang Feng and Mu Xue turned their heads and looked at each other, as if they had made an appointment, they skipped the topic tacitly and naturally. After all, it is very common for two male and male couples to celebrate the New Year together.

But they are just a fake couple.

I strictly remember that Gu Xi said that the place where he lived before is no longer his home, and the rest of that house is full of people he doesn't want to see, and he will definitely not go to reunite with Li Wei's mother and son.

But where else could he go other than the home he didn't want to admit?

Did he spend New Year's Eve all these years alone?

For a face-conscious person like him, even if Shen Xu and Xie Xiaochuan invite him, he probably won't be able to save himself from going to a friend's house to join in the fun during family reunion days. The strong sense of gap is not as good as being alone.

Strictness feels a little uncomfortable in my heart, but fortunately the two of them can be each other's companions this year.

There are red dragons on both sides of the main road in the park, and many young men and women surround the entrance of the souvenir shop next to it. Several couples have yellow and white spots flashing quickly on their heads, and they look like a large number of flying fireflies from a distance.

"That's fun..." Mu Xue pointed to the cartoon headlights on top of their heads that glowed like headbands, and completed the transformation from a heroine to a girl in a second, "Crazy, buy me one too."

"I want to..." Not to be outdone, Yan Jing rushed into the store together with her, mixed with a group of children, and picked left and right in front of the shelves, "That looks good, it suits you very well."

There are several shapes of these headlights, some are like the curved tentacles of butterflies, some are like springs bouncing around, and some are like two raised cat ears. To be honest, if it is not in an amusement park, basically no one Will buy these childish things.

"Women should buy butterflies..." Gu Xi was very appreciative, and patiently gave a reference, "We guys can choose the cat ears, it won't look too girly."

"It's fine for the two of you to wear couple models..." Chang Feng picked up a single wire connected to a big light bulb and put it on his head, "I want this."

"It's so ugly..." Yan Jing laughed, "Like a monkfish."

Chang Feng flicked the light bulb hanging on his forehead, and asked in a low voice, "What is monkfish?"

"It's the lantern fish that everyone usually calls, also known as toad fish..." Gu Xi also laughed, "It looks extremely ugly."

"The toilet is over there..." Mu Xue pointed to the public toilet 50 meters away, "Go quickly, don't say you know me."

The parade slowly drove over amid cheerful music, and a pumpkin-shaped float was in the lead. A girl in a white tutu skirt and a yellow wig stood on the top of the car, dancing and greeting the audience.

Behind the float was a man on a horse. Judging by his attire, he should be Prince Charming, but his appearance was a bit off-putting, so he sneaked a sneaky glance to the side.

If Gu Xi were to dress her up, it would probably be more realistic.

I don't know if it was his illusion, Gu Xi's attitude was obviously different from the usual one last night, his words and deeds seemed to show a hint of accommodating, even a bit of intentional flattery.

The whole performance lasted almost half an hour. Chang Feng's cell phone clicked from start to finish. On the way back, he created a WeChat group of four and posted all the photos he took in the group.

It was past 10 o'clock when I returned to the community. As soon as Gu Xi entered the house, he went to the study room. After a long time, he came out with a stack of printed photos, and then inserted them into the light blue book one by one. in the album.

He looked down at the half-filled album, and lit a cigarette contentedly.

"Isn't this your mother's relic..." Yan Jing took it and flipped through a few pages, and asked curiously, "Why did you use it to store the photos of the two of us, why don't you buy another copy."

"No need..." Gu Xi shook his head, "This is fine."

"That's fine..." Yan Yan put the photo album into the drawer with a smile, and then glanced at the new calendar on the table, "What do you want to eat on New Year's Eve, let's go shopping for New Year's goods in a few days."

"Who said you want to eat at home..." Gu Xi cleared his throat, "You and I will go to grandma's house to celebrate New Year's Eve."

"Ah, your grandma's house?" Yan Jing opened his mouth wide in surprise, "Is it appropriate for me to go?"

Only then did he remember the old lady who slipped and fell while stepping on a fish. She meddled in her own business and sent her to the hospital. The medical expenses of more than 1000 yuan she had paid in advance have not yet been recovered. Bah, this is not the point.

Gu Xi's attitude towards his father's relatives was particularly indifferent, and the only family member he was willing to mention was his grandmother. At this moment, he suddenly had the illusion that an ugly daughter-in-law wanted to see her in-laws, and she was both excited and nervous.

"What's inappropriate..." Gu Xi clicked his tongue, "She asked me to take you there a long time ago, Jiu Qiansui still misses you all the time, I have been with her all these years during the Spring Festival, and how many people are more lively."

"Nine thousand years old?" Yan Jing was amused, "Why do you call your grandma like that, it doesn't matter how big or small it is."

"She likes me to call her that..." Gu Xi said, "My grandma has a childlike innocence, just like a child."

Rigorousness fell into memories. Although they only met once, it is not difficult to see from the grandmother's attitude that day that the old lady should be a very enthusiastic person, at least much kinder than the second girl in her family.

According to Gu Xi's words just now, grandma is usually alone, it's pitiful to think about it, as a grandson, it is also the duty of a child to spend more time with the elderly on behalf of the deceased parents.

"Is your grandma's leg healed?" Yan Yan asked.

"Good morning, now I go to the square dance every day..." Gu Xi said, "You may not be able to beat her in a race against her."

"Fart!" Yan Jin scolded with a smile, "It's fine to go to your grandma's house for New Year's Eve, and you can accompany me to the mall in a few days."

"Why?" Gu Xi pinched his cigarette and frowned.

Strictly sighed: "I have to pick a gift for your grandma, I can't go empty-handed."

"There's no need to buy anything..." Gu Xi waved her hand, "She doesn't lack anything, if she really wants to buy it, I'll buy it."

"You buy yours, and we don't conflict..." The strict tone was very firm, "This is the basic etiquette of being a human being."

After the new year, most companies in the office building began to have their holidays one after another, and the business of the coffee shop was much weaker than before. Yan Jing mentioned several times to go to the mall to pick up gifts, but Gu Xi always evaded it with various reasons.

It’s the 29th of the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye. Tomorrow, only the morning shift is scheduled, and the store will be closed for the holiday in the afternoon. It will officially open for business on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. Liang Le has to accompany his parents back to the countryside, and has long distributed red envelopes and year-end bonuses to every employee. inside.

Money is easy to do. After get off work, he asked Mu Xue to go to the nearby shopping mall with him.

After all, he has no experience in giving gifts to elders, so if the gift is not what he wants, it will be a bit thankless.

After all the office workers who came here to work hard have returned home, I feel that the rest of the locals can count on their fingers.

"Gu Xi cares about you..." Mu Xue carried a few shopping bags and stood on the escalator, "He may be afraid of your expense, so he made an excuse not to go shopping with you."

"Are you eating fast and reciting Buddha's name recently? Why did you suddenly change your sex..." Yan Jin laughed, "I've never heard you praise him before."

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, apart from being a bit arrogant, his character is not bad." Mu Xue said.

"It's really not easy to get your approval..." Yan Yan glanced at the floor map next to the elevator, "Please come and help me as a reference, but you ended up buying a lot first."

"A few women don't go shopping when they enter the mall, so I have to take advantage of the end of the year to reward myself..." Mu Xue asked, "Have you decided what to give?"

"No, I have no clue..." Seriously replied, "What do you think of health care products?"

Mu Xue thought for five seconds, and immediately rejected his proposal: "No, it's too vulgar, and you don't know if the old man has any taboos. If you buy the wrong one, it will be difficult to dispose of it."

"Then buy a cigarette and add two bottles of wine?" Yan Jing continued to propose.

"Does his grandma smoke and drink?" Mu Xue looked a little surprised.

"I don't know..." Yan Jing shook his head, "I never asked."

"Then what cigarettes and alcohol are you giving..." Mu Xue glanced at him sideways, "Besides, do you know how much better cigarettes and alcohol cost? You might as well just give a big red envelope."

Strictly frowned, stretched out his hand and patted his head a few times: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, just go to the supermarket to buy a carton of milk, and get two bags of Want Want gift bags."

"Stupid!" Mu Xue roared, "You treat him like a three-year-old."

"You know how to scold me..." Yan Jing smacked his lips impatiently, "May I ask what the heroine thinks?"

"Give me a silk scarf..." Mu Xue pointed to the model in the window of the women's clothing store in front, and the corners of her lips curled up triumphantly, "This thing can be used from 20 to 80 years old, especially this season, it is both beautiful and Keep warm."

The shopping mall is empty, with almost no obstruction to the line of sight. You can see the display and layout of the women's clothing store at a glance. The usual crowded crowd seems to be blown away by the north wind for several days. Every year at the end of the year, the whole city will fade away. vanity.

"Are you picking things according to your own preferences?" Yan Jing stared at her questioningly.

"Take it as a donkey's liver and lungs with good intentions..." Mu Xue turned around very unhappy, "Since you don't believe me, why do you still ask my opinion? I'm leaving. Go and buy your Want Want gift bag."

"Hey, hey, I believe it! I believe it!" Yan Jin quickly grabbed her, "Just buy silk scarves, buy silk scarves."

Gu Xi's grandmother dresses very carefully, and looks more expensive than ordinary old ladies. Jewelry is not divided into sizes like clothes, so the chance of making mistakes is naturally much smaller.

And compared to a big man like him, Mu Xue must understand a woman's mind better, and she must be right.

There are more than [-] kinds of silk scarves in different styles in the boutique cabinet near the cashier. They are gorgeous and elegant, with various patterns and textures. Which one to choose.

"How about that one..." Mu Xue pointed to the upper left corner, "It's not too plain, and it looks very grand."

Strictly looking in the direction of her finger, the pattern of dark blue and coral orange, the two colors are mixed and interlaced like paints blooming in the water, there is a kind of abstract beauty, and it shines with soft luster under the light.

The shopping guide took the silk scarf out of the cabinet, took it carefully and touched it in his hand. It was soft and slippery, and the texture was quite good. He picked up the tag and glanced secretly, and found that such a small piece of cloth cost 890.

"That's it..." Yan Jing gritted his teeth, took out his mobile phone and went to the cashier, "Please wrap it up for me, I'll give it away."
