Chapter 194 New Year’s Gift
Chapter 194 New Year’s Gift
Bai Xi didn't persuade him any further.
She had to go out while it was still early. When she came back for the New Year, Zhang Feng gave her a New Year gift, and she had to return the gift.
Ham against ham, the other party gave her Iberian ham, and Bai Xi also planned to return the ham, so she went out and bought six or seven Jinhua hams.
As for local specialties, in addition to Zhang Feng, she planned to give one to Fang Lan, Jiang Hui, and Zhang Hua.
However, they were both hams, but the one Zhang Feng gave her cost more than 2000 yuan... Bai Xi bought the most expensive Jinhua ham, which was only more than yuan per piece.
In comparison, domestic ham is simply too cheap.
In addition to Jinhua ham, she also went to a shop selling Yunjin.
Yunjin is a traditional Chinese silk handicraft and ranks first among the four major brocades in China.
Yunjin is bright and colorful, as beautiful as the clouds in the sky. It is made of exquisite materials, finely woven, with exquisite patterns and gorgeous brocade patterns. It is said that every inch of brocade is worth its weight in gold.
It has been a tribute to the royal family in every dynasty.
It has also been included in the United Nations Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
So far, Yunjin can only be woven by hand and cannot be made by machine.
There are no large pieces of Yunjin brocade in Yunjin shops. Generally, there are small pieces about one foot square, embroidered with gourds, goldfish, unicorns, etc., which are pictures that bring good luck.
This one is not expensive, just over 3,000 yuan per piece.
It is indeed beautiful, with a sense of splendor and prosperity.
There are also larger sizes, one meter high and half a meter wide, which are much more expensive, costing about 17,000 to 18,000 yuan.
Bai Xi bought several paintings of both large and small sizes.
Then, she realized that if she wanted to bring both the ham and the brocade, she would need at least three suitcases...
Black line!
Fortunately, she has two strong laborers!
She packed her luggage one by one and said goodbye to everyone.
At two o'clock in the afternoon on the fourth day of the first lunar month, Bai Xi arrived at Yanjing's home.
She had to go home to get her snowboard, ski clothes, gloves, glasses and protective gear.
However, when Bai Xi entered the house, she saw that it was very clean, with almost no dust. Did the aunts come back to clean it?
She was surprised while packing her suitcase.
She had to pack two suitcases, one for warm winter clothes for skiing in Northeast China, and the other for cool summer clothes for going to the beach.
All I can say is that it’s a good thing her closet is big enough that her summer clothes haven’t been put away yet.
She made a list, and then packed the two boxes one by one according to the list and put them aside. She then took out an extra-thick and extra-long down jacket to wear after getting off the plane in the Northeast.
Everything is ready. Bai Xi plans to book a hotel near the airport to avoid being unable to get up.
Just as she was sitting on the floor looking for a hotel, her phone suddenly rang. A message from the food, drink and entertainment group popped up. Bai Xi opened it and saw Fang Lan speaking: "The tickets have been booked. There are six tickets in total. We will leave at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning. Remember to get up early. We will meet at the VIP security checkpoint at 20: tomorrow morning."
Then she sent me a plane ticket with the flight, terminal and boarding gate marked on it.
She also @ people one by one, including Bai Xi, Zhang Hua, Jiang Hui, Si Yu, Pei Jun, and Fang Lan herself.
Bai Xi raised his eyebrows. Are those older ones not here this time?
She replied to Fang Lan, saved the round-trip flight details, and chatted privately with Fang Lan, Jiang Hui, Zhang Hua, and Zhang Feng one by one, "I brought back some local specialties. Where are you?"
Soon, Fang Lan sent a message, "Where are you? Take the gift, you don't have to deliver it in person."
Zhang Hua: "I'm going to go find Jiang Hui later and pick it up by the way."
Seeing this, Bai Xi didn't bother to be polite with them and directly sent them the location.
She sent a message to Zhang Feng again, but Zhang Feng seemed very busy. After a long while, he replied, "Sister, I'm busy. Ask Zhang Hua to bring it back for me. I'll come and play with you after the New Year."
no problem.
Just find a way to deal with the gifts.
But the one who came the fastest was not Fang Lan, but Jiang Hui.
Less than five minutes after Bai Xi sent the message, he saw Jiang Hui on the video doorbell.
He was wearing a long red down jacket. He walked over slowly and stood at the door. His eyebrows were slightly raised, but it did not hinder his beautiful features at all. "You also brought us gifts?"
Bai Xi was still sitting cross-legged on the carpet in the living room. He nodded and opened the three suitcases beside him. "Pick your own."
Jiang Hui came over and smelled it. "Ham?"
"Ah."
He picked up a box at random and was very interested in Yunjin, looking at each painting one by one.
Then they took out two paintings, one large and one small. The small one was a table screen with goldfish and lotus leaves, which meant a house full of wealth and jade or surplus year after year. The large one was very simple, with a red word "Fu" already inlaid, and could be hung on the wall.
After he finished picking, he didn't leave in a hurry. He looked around and asked, "Is there no one at home?"
Bai Xi nodded, "I didn't see it."
But it doesn’t look like there is no one there, after all, the house is quite clean.
I don’t know how Jonah arranged it.
"Where are you going to eat tonight?"
"Let's go out for dinner. I plan to find a hotel near the airport tonight. It's close so I don't have to be late tomorrow."
Jiang Hui suddenly revealed a stunning smile and said, "You think too simply. You won't be able to sleep if you live near an airport. The planes take off and land, flying overhead, and it will be very noisy."
“……”It seems that this is correct.
"Then I can just go out to eat tonight, or order takeout. I just have to get up early."
Eating is not a problem for me, but getting up early is a bit difficult, so I have to set at least two alarm clocks.
"Then shall we go together tomorrow?"
Bai Xi was very surprised, "Aren't you going home for the New Year?"
Jiang Hui lowered his eyebrows and said, "My parents are not at home, so why should I go home?"
Ok?
"Auntie and uncle are so busy?"
Jiang Hui showed a little helplessness, "They are very busy. If they were not busy, they would go out to play and would not take me with them."
what?
Bai Xi looked at him in surprise. Is this what they call: parents are true love, children are accidents?
She thought about it, reached out her hand, and patted his shoulder, "My condolences!"
Jiang Hui laughed, "No need to mourn, I'm 20 years old, an adult, not a baby. Besides, I spent the New Year at my grandparents' house, it wasn't that tragic."
Oh.
No wonder he is dressed like a Fuwa. This is what the elderly like the most.
As he was speaking, the doorbell rang again. Bai Xi looked and saw it was Zhang Hua.
She went to open the door for him. After a few seconds, Zhang Hua came in with a bang and an exclamation, "Bai Xi, your place is much bigger than Jiang Hui's."
Of course, as the king of buildings, it has to be bigger than other places.
Zhang Hua looked around the house and asked, "Is there any room between you two? I want to live here too."
Jiang Hui sat on the floor like Bai Xi, leaning against the coffee table. He looked up at Zhang Hua jokingly and said, "There's a small lake between our two houses. Do you want to live there?"
Bai Xi looked up. Is there a lake between their two houses?
Since she moved in, she has always driven in and out, used the underground passage, and has never walked around the community.
Zhang Hua was very sad when he heard this. He punched Jiang Hui on the shoulder and said, "Hey, are you still brothers? Aren't you afraid of drowning me?"
Jiang Hui glanced at him and raised an eyebrow, "Didn't you say you wanted to live among us?"
Seeing this, Zhang Hua was about to take action, but at this time, Fang Lan also came.
Bai Xi hurriedly greeted them, "Okay, stop making trouble, and divide the gifts first. Zhang Hua, take your cousin's share back."
She took out the gift for Zhang Feng and placed it next to Zhang Hua.
