This scene certainly amused both Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan.
However, both of them knew that Song Guofu was an honest person, and they were afraid that Su Xiu was thin-skinned and that one sentence would be really embarrassing and not worth it.
So they were gloating over the misfortune, but they didn't stand by and watch. The two of them started to interrupt with a tacit understanding.
On one side, Chen Liquan offered Song Guofu a cigarette, took the wine list and asked him what he wanted to drink.
On the other side, Hong Yanwu took Su Xiu to study the menu together. This smoothed things over as if nothing had happened, and quietly returned the atmosphere to normal.
When the waiter took away the menu after ordering, the real main course of the meal was brought to the table by Hong Yanwu himself.
He took out three red brocade boxes, one long and two square, and placed them one by one in front of Su Xiu.
Then Hong Yanwu pushed forward with a smile on his face, urging him to give in in a somewhat pretentious manner.
"Xiu'er, I'm giving you a little gift. Open it and take a look. Do you like it?"
Su Xiu was stunned for a moment and subconsciously followed the instructions.
As soon as I opened it, my mouth opened wide.
The love box was actually filled with gold jewelry, a gold necklace and two gold rings, and they were all 24K.
You must know that at the end of last month, the country just announced the resumption of gold and silver jewelry sales, which was explosive news.
Not long after the news came out, all the women of all ages from the tourism bureau had already formed a group and ran to the bank to see it.
It’s just a pity that the high price is too luxurious for people in this era. Most people can only live with eye addiction and yearn for it.
Only a few people with particularly good economic conditions can buy one.
Not to mention gold necklaces, even a small gold ring, whoever puts it on will immediately become the envy of everyone.
So when Su Xiu saw it, she was thinking, when I have money, I must buy a beautiful one.
How could she have imagined that this was not even a month away? Are these golden things that she dreams of right in front of her eyes? And it was given to her for free. If she wears this, she will be envied by her colleagues in the unit.
Needless to say, her eyes immediately lit up, and she couldn't wait to take it out and try it on again.
Seeing her happy reaction, the three men sitting together all smiled tacitly.
Because really, what girl in the world doesn’t like this kind of thing? This preference is completely a biological instinct.
Obviously, this is the perfect gift to give.
But no one expected that something unexpected would go wrong.
She had just put on a ring and had not been fiddling with it for long, but Su Xiu took it off very quickly.
Then he not only quickly put them back, but also covered all three jewelry boxes and pushed them back to Hong Yanwu.
"Brother Xiao Wu, I don't want it."
In a word, the three men at the table were all stunned. No one expected this to happen.
Hong Yanwu asked even more puzzledly.
"Why not? I bought it just for you.",
Su Xiu curled her lips and answered matter-of-factly.
"Do you need to say more? It's too expensive."
"Expensive? Not expensive at all."
Hong Yanwu couldn't help laughing, and said lightly, "Do you know how much you have helped us? Do you know how much money we can make selling those things every day? To be honest, these are just trivial things. Look back. When there are gold bracelets in the store, I will buy another pair for you."
Although his tycoon-like statement successfully surprised Su Xiu beyond imagination, her principles did not waver at all.
The little girl is as stubborn as a stone.
"No, no, don't. I didn't do anything, I just helped out a little bit. It was a little effort. I feel flustered with these things."
Now Hong Yanwu had no choice but to follow the same example as before, and his attitude became arrogant.
Push those boxes one more time without question.
"Why are you so stubborn, girl? Be obedient and hold it!"
But this time the old trick didn't work, so Su Xiu pushed it back.
"I don't want it!"
Hong Yanwu pushed again.
"Take it!"
Su Xiu actually had no nostalgia.
"I don't!"
Hong Yanwu was really anxious now. He lost all his patience and simply glared and said harsh words.
"No, no! Do you want to take it or not? If you dare to push it back to me again, I will throw these things in the trash can right away! You know my temper, and I will tell you the truth! When did you take back the things you gave away? ?"
Hey, that works. Speaking of this, Su Xiu really didn't dare to push it back any further.
But this does not mean there is no emotion, grievances are inevitable after all.
Looking at Su Xiu, her face turned pale, her mouth pursed, and tears began to well up in her eyes.
At this time, even the two onlookers saw that something was wrong, so they quickly talked about it.
Chen Liquan advised, "Xiu'er, what are you doing? Isn't this an extramarital affair? Xiaowu bought it specially for you. Just accept it."
Song Guofu also said, "Yeah, what's the point? Here you go, just take it. We're all our own people, and we share the blessings. It's down-to-earth, it's okay. If you worry about them, there's no need. They can't lose themselves..."
But this girl Su Xiu was really a bit stubborn. Tears were falling from her eyes, her lips were trembling for a long time, but she didn't say a word or make any move.
That means it’s useless whatever anyone says. She seemed to have made up her mind to continue this stalemate.
Looking at her pitiful appearance, Hong Yanwu was afraid at first.
Because if it goes too far and a good thing turns into a bad thing, there is no way to explain anything. Even if his sister knows about it, he will have to blame him.
He could only make concessions.
"Xiu'er, I'm sorry. I was impatient just now and I shouldn't have been harsh on you. But I don't understand. Why are you there? If you don't like it, just say it. Then what do you like? Or... ... Otherwise, I will give you the money later and you can buy what you like..."
A gentle apology and comfort, plus a new promise.
Su Xiu responded with a tear, and her mood became much better.
"Brother Xiao Wu, please don't. I don't know how to say it... Anyway, I can't ask for your things. Things are different now. It's not just a few clothes and a tape recorder to listen to for a few days. Anyway, don’t force me, then I’ll dare to go out to eat and play with you again.”
As soon as he said this, Hong Yanwu was really confused, and he shook his head frankly.
"I don't understand. I really don't understand what you are saying. What is the difference between now and before? We still live in the same hospital, and we still treat you as my sister? Why can't I just buy you something..."
Suddenly he slapped his forehead again.
"Hey, are you pursuing progress? Do you want to join the party? Are you afraid that this matter will spread and affect your future...Hey, you are right not to accept other people's things, but there is no need for what I give. . You still can’t trust me?”
Hearing what he said, Su Xiu couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Brother Xiao Wu, you can really think nonsense. I don't have that awareness, I haven't even thought about it."
He rolled his eyes again before explaining sincerely.
"Let's put it this way. Brother Xiaowu, Brother Quanzi, you are really very kind to me. I will never forget that Xiaoru and I relied on you to protect us from being bullied since we were young. I also can't forget that if Xiaoru has anything I always get a share of the good stuff, and sometimes I’m even ahead of her.”
"And the good job you found for my brother and me through your connections and favors, I will always remember these. So you don't have to doubt that I regard you as my own brother from the bottom of my heart. But Because of this, I cherish our friendship very much, and I am even more unwilling to accept your things, and I don’t want our relationship to become a tacky transaction.”
"In the past, when I was young, I didn't make any money and I wasn't sensible. I took advantage of you for nothing, and I had nothing to complain about. But now that I'm older and a salaried adult, you even helped me find a job. If I do that again, who will I be? Of course I like these gifts, but I will feel uncomfortable if I accept them, and I will look down on myself and not be able to sleep well."
"Besides, I'm definitely not worried about anything or afraid of anything. Because we have nothing to do with anything, and all we do are reasonable and legal. Even if others know about it, they can't say that I am corrupt or accepting bribes. But the problem is , as soon as I started working to make money, I suddenly understood that people’s desires are endless, and it is normal for me to control my desires within my salary range. ”
"So I can only ask for what I have earned through my own labor. Otherwise, what kind of boss would I be if I was greedy? If I have one, I will think of two, and if I have two, I will think of three. Is there any end? My dad has told me since I was a child I must not indulge in bad habits, otherwise I will turn from a little fly into an elephant. I don’t want to become a bad person who is greedy for money.”
"I know you may all think I'm stupid, but one person can't limit what another person thinks. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. Don't worry, no matter what, I will help you if anything happens. If you need me in the future, just say it. As long as the policy allows and I can do my best, I promise to be on call and I will definitely help you. I only ask you one thing, that we will always be pure. Okay? You won’t be angry if I say this?”
The three elders were completely dumbfounded.
They really didn't expect Su Xiu to say such words, and they all felt that they had been taught a lesson by this little girl today.
However, this discouraging blow is so accurate and touches the soul.
So that they have to feel from the bottom of their hearts that they seem to be far less tall than they imagined. On the contrary, he became a toad in the well and looked down upon others.
Indeed, not everyone will become secular. Some people will always have their own persistence. Although there are not many such people, they do exist around them.
Thanks to people like this, this secular world will have a glimmer of light and some inspiring hope.
So when Su Xiu went to the bathroom to wash her face. Hong Yanwu couldn't help but express his heartfelt emotion.
"Hey, I still treat her like a child. Who would have thought that this girl has really grown up. Just these words, clean and crisp, completely destroyed me, I can't refute, because the more and more The more you say, the more your faults will appear."
"Look, this is our girl from the capital. Don't look at her who usually doesn't date her. She laughs and laughs. She seems easy to fool, but in real life she is quite independent."
"Although she is usually a bit arrogant and willful, and likes to follow her own feelings, but look at what she says and does, hey, she is not only polite and respectful, but also a little bit righteous."
"But this won't work. Now that she's fine, it's a shame for me. It's my turn to sleep poorly..."
Listening absentmindedly to Hong Yanwu's chatter, Song Guofu suddenly had a strange and exciting realization, which made him look in the direction Su Xiu was leaving in a trance.
In the past, he never understood what a good girl was, thinking that she was beautiful, gentle, and educated, but now he suddenly understood.
Those like Su Xiu are truly good girls.
Because no matter how much she helps you, she always has a way to make you feel like you don't have to do anything for her.
And once you really understand what's going on, you will feel sincerely regretful and regret why you didn't do something for her.
