Rebirth in the 70s: A rough man’s husband pinches his waist and dotes on him

She glared at him, walked in with a smile, and spoke to Zhiyuan, "Why didn't you bring Xiaomai's gift first when you came here?"

"Mom, then you are giving it to Xiaomai. You can bring it here yourself. We have our own gifts! We even have palm beads!" Zhiyuan said confidently.

"Oh?" Lin Qingping was amused and walked over to Gu Juncheng to tease his daughter, "What did Zhangzhu give to your sister?"

How could Zhangzhu understand what she said? She just heard the familiar voice and felt the familiar breath, and was very happy, dancing and grinning.

"Aunt, Zhangzhu gave this to me." Xiaomai was very close to Lin Qingping, and she came over immediately, with a small pearl lying in the palm of her hand.

Lin Qingping smiled. Who else could this be but Zhiyuan? "That's great. I'll ask Zhangzhu to give you one pearl every year. You can string them into a bracelet or a necklace."

"I have this necklace, aunt." Xiaomai pointed to her collar, which was a necklace of shells.

In fact, Lin Qingping had seen it a long time ago. This must have been given by Zhiyuan! Or did he polish it himself? When he was still on the island, this guy picked out a bunch of shells from the stock he had accumulated over the past two years and polished them all the way. Yesterday morning he went to see Xiao Yuanlian, and in the afternoon he came back home to drill holes and make a necklace.

"It's so beautiful!" Lin Qingping praised generously, "Our Zhiyuan's craftsmanship is amazing!"

"Hehe." Xiaomai was very happy to hear that. Girls like these beautiful things.

"Then is my aunt's gift tacky?" Lin Qingping gave Xiaomai a jewelry gift box, which contained a gold bracelet that was a bit heavy, but it was a plain ring.

Many years later, this kind of plain ring became very popular. Lin Qingping spent a long time choosing among the gold jewelry at a counter before she picked this one. For such a young girl, plain rings look better.

Xiaomai had no idea whether it was expensive or not, and didn't even open it to see. He just politely and obediently "thanked" his aunt.

There were quite a few guests in the house, including Director Cheng's family, Zhong Xiaoxiao's mother and daughter, He Qiancheng and his three companions. Of course, Wei Zhonghua brought Song Qiuyun, and He Qiancheng brought Qian Ping and Qian Ping's son.

They all came to the capital from other places and had no relatives or friends there. However, in the past two years, because of Lin Qingping, they became each other's closest friends in the capital and would get together whenever something happened.

Gu Youlian was busy in the kitchen. When she came out, she smiled when she saw Lin Qingping, "I've been waiting for you. Come on, let's eat! Hurry up and take a seat!"

Everyone was talking and laughing, and were about to sit down around the dinner table when suddenly a figure rushed to Xiaomai and tried to snatch the jewelry box from her hand. At the same time, the boy's voice rang out, "Look what it is!"

He is Qian Ping's son.

Of course Xiaomai didn't want him to snatch it away, so she squeezed it tightly. As the two of them pulled at it, the jewelry box actually fell to the ground. The lid of the box was foldable and it broke open.

When it was opened, it sparkled with golden light, very dazzling.

"Oh my, this aunt is really generous!" Director Cheng's wife Jiang Liping joked with a smile.

Everyone was amazed, but they all meant well.

But Gu Youlian was frightened. She quickly picked up the jewelry box, covered it, and wanted to return it to Lin Qingping, saying repeatedly, "This is too expensive, too expensive! How can she, a little girl, accept such an expensive gift?"

Lin Qingping didn't like to hear this, "What's wrong with a child? It's not for her to wear now? Save it all for her, prepare it every year. When she grows up and gets married, this will be her dowry. If she doesn't get married, let her wear it for fun or keep it for her."

Gu Youlian still felt unworthy of it, "That has to wait until you grow up. You are too young now, a little girl..."

"What's wrong with a little girl?" Lin Qingping didn't like to hear this. "Little girls can't be respected? It's precisely because they are little girls that they need to be raised more carefully. Take Xiaomai, don't listen to your mother, and don't be estranged from me!"

Gu Youlian smiled awkwardly, "Thank you, aunt."

"Thank you, aunt." Xiaomai's face turned a little red and her eyes were sparkling.

"Okay, let's eat." Lin Qingping smiled and joked, "I'm the guest today, so I won't work. You guys go serve the dishes."

Gu Youlian said to her, "You just said you were not strangers, but now you are a guest again."

"Yes, I am your brother's wife. I came to your house for dinner and you still have the nerve to ask me to work!" Lin Qingping started to act like a spoiled child.

Gu Youlian burst out laughing at what she said.

Everyone at the table was actually family, and there was no custom of women working while men sat and waited for meals. Everyone worked together and the food was served in a short while.

Xiaomai’s birthday party officially began. Gu Youlian brought out the cake she had made herself and wrote “Happy Birthday, Gu Xiaomai” on it.

Yes, Xiaomai changed his surname to Gu.

Made with fruit cream cake, the fruit used is strawberry.

At that time, although strawberries were already grown in the north, they were still a rare fruit and very expensive. Gu Youlian loved her daughter, so she used so many strawberries on the cake.

When the cake was served, Gu Youlian tried to imitate the way Lin Qingping used to celebrate children's birthdays in the capital. She planned to light the candles, sing a birthday song, and let Xiaomai make a wish.

However, just as she was about to put the candles in, suddenly, a hand came out and grabbed the strawberries on the cake, taking away several of them, and the shape of the cake was ruined.

Everyone was stunned; they had never expected this to happen.

But the owner of this hand, Qian Ping's son, was completely unaware and just stuffed whole strawberries into his mouth.

The scene was a little awkward for a moment, so Gu Youlian quickly tried to smooth things over, saying with a smile, "Children just like to eat strawberries. We Xiaomai like to eat them too."

Zhiyuan's face looked very bad.

Qian Ping also responded at this time, smiling and saying, "Yes, yes, it's a child's birthday, so they just want to be happy."

It was her daughter's birthday, and Gu Youlian didn't want to cause any trouble. She smiled and put the candles on, lit them, and then said to Xiaomai, "Come on, Xiaomai, make a wish."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qian Ping's son leaned out, lay on the table, blew on the cake, blew out all the candles, and then took three strawberries.

Gu Youlian's expression already looked a little ugly, but for the sake of He Qiancheng's face, she couldn't say anything.

Zhiyuan couldn't help it, "No one has started eating yet. Xiaomai is the birthday boy and she hasn't started eating either. Why did you start eating? Isn't that so rude?"

Qian Ping felt a little embarrassed when she heard this. When did it become your turn as a little brat to teach others a lesson? She started to sound sarcastic, "You are just a kid, what's wrong with eating first? Besides, aren't we all family? There is no need to be fussy among family members. We are all used to being casual. You are an outsider, so you don't know."

Zhiyuan was not happy about this. His logic was very clear. "First, I am not an outsider. I have lived in this house for many years. This is my aunt's home, and Xiaomai is my biological sister! Second..."

Zhiyuan looked at Qian Ping's son, "Is he still young? He is taller than wheat! He doesn't go to school? Didn't the school teach him to respect the elderly and love the young?"
