Bamboo horses peck each other daily

First switch the screen to Shi Xu's side. From Cheng Xia's ID number, he can see that his birthday is at the end of August, and it seems that there will be another week.Shi Xu began to secretly think about what gift to give him.

Judging from Cheng Xia's character, he probably doesn't like gifts that are superficially fancy but have no practical meaning. The best thing is to give him something he just needs...

Chengxia is relatively relaxed here, because he only came to check for a moment of curiosity, and he didn't mean to give a gift.

So he only used his own brain to habitually record this set of numbers, and then went to sleep.

------

Shi Xu felt that he wanted to give Cheng Xia a birthday gift that he couldn't make a big splash. The point was that there should be nothing different from usual except for the "birthday gift"—because they used to forget their birthdays habitually, and suddenly celebrated once in a big way. He will look very strange.

It is best to give a gift that is useful to Cheng Xia, or the kind that he lacks recently - so that it will not look deliberate when it is given out.

Another important point: Don't let Qi Bianrong know!If he knew that he would yell every day, it would be easy for Cheng Xia to notice something was wrong if he kept repeating it.

Shi Xu felt that he was very thoughtful, but when everything was ready, Shi Junhao's sudden return home disturbed the situation.

Shi Junhao's busy period has continued from the end of last year to the present, and the number of times he went home in the first half of the year can be counted on the fingers, and no one expected his sudden return this time.

Especially Qi Bianrong, who was sent to open the door because he was on the first floor, was taken aback.

Qi Bianrong put his hands on the seam of his trousers, with clear eyes, and greeted Shi Junhao very formally: "Hello, Uncle."

Shi Junhao has been flying south and north for the past few days, and spent most of his time on the plane. He has to rush to a meeting when he gets off the plane. This time, he can only stay in City A for one day, and he has to board the plane again the day after tomorrow.The long hours of work made him tired from his face to his movements.Shi Junhao stared at Qi Bianrong for a few seconds before he remembered that his son had called him several months ago and told him that he would stay with his friend Qi Bianrong for a while, then he nodded and replied in a deep voice: " Um, Bian Rong? How is your dad doing recently?"

Shi Junhao didn't pay attention to the gossip in City A at all recently, so he naturally didn't know about the Qi family's affairs. Think carefully.

Fortunately, he didn't really care about Qi's father, but just greeted casually, so before Qi Bianrong finished hesitating about how he should answer, Shi Junhao asked again and crossed the topic: "Where are Shi Xu Chengxia and the others?"

I will answer this!

Thinking about it, Qi Bianrong said loudly: "They are all upstairs in the study!"

Shi Junhao nodded, casually said a few polite words to Qi Bianrong, then turned and went upstairs.It wasn't until this moment that Qi Bianrong finally relaxed: he was afraid of his father when he was a child, let alone seeing his father's depressed appearance...

Today is Cheng Xia's birthday. When Shi Xu was doing his homework in the study, his mind was not on the textbooks at all, but was racking his brains to figure out what kind of gesture he should give the gift to show his casualness—meaning that he didn't deliberately prepare Yes, I just remembered and bought a copy...

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, three "bang bang bang", the rhythm was very regular.

Shi Xu felt that the knock on the door sounded familiar, and before he remembered it, he heard Cheng Xia calling to come in, and then Shi Xu saw Shi Junhao walking in.

"dad?"

"uncle?"

Shi Junhao nodded, exchanged a few words with them, specifically asked about their grades, and when he learned that Cheng Xia's ranking had risen back to the top ten in his year group, he praised him, and then said: "Xiao Xia, there is a A violin, given to you by your aunt."

Cheng Xia: "Yeah." Why is it a musical instrument again?Aunt Xu sent him a lot of things related to musical instruments, including music scores and professional books. After explaining to her, she still kept sending them.

Shi Junhao knew that Xu Ziya always gave Cheng Xia musical instruments: "She used to like music very much, and thought about letting Shi Xu follow this path, but Shi Xu is not interested at all, so maybe she wants to train you now."

Cheng Xia: "..." I'm not interested in music either...

After Shi Junhao finished what Xu Ziya explained, he turned his head and called Shi Xu: "Shi Xu, I have something to tell you."

Shi Xu followed Shi Junhao to the master bedroom, Shi Junhao got straight to the point, and directly asked Shi Xu what he said a while ago about wanting to join the company to get familiar with affairs.

Shi Junhao: "I don't have any objections, it just happens to be a part-time job for a while before I go to high school."

"I will arrange you to be my intern assistant first. Then you will familiarize yourself with Xiaolin's schedule first, and then I will arrange some work for you to sort out documents. But there will be no big things for you to do. You have Opinion?"

"No." Shi Xu is still very self-aware. After the high school entrance examination, he only has a junior high school diploma. Even if the company recruits students, he will not be recruited.Moreover, he only learned the basic economic and financial information some time ago, and it is not possible to go to heaven after reading a few books, so it is better to understand the company's affairs on a down-to-earth basis.

Seeing Shi Xu's face as if he didn't understand anything, of course he could only do small things, Shi Junhao was in a much better mood, and he asked with the attitude of greeting his son, "Why did you think of coming to the company for an internship? I remember not being very interested in these things."

Shi Xu answered irrelevantly: "I'm not interested in anything else."

Then the two fell into a familiar and strange silence.In the end, Shi Xu opened another topic: "Dad, have you always been prepared to let me take over your business?"

Shi Junhao has always wanted Shi Xu to learn more courses on corporate management, but Shi Xu avoided them all on the grounds of "I don't want to dislike them". I didn't want to force him to learn, so I seldom mentioned this matter later.Shi Junhao didn't expect that Shi Xu always remembered it, and would bring it up again now.

"Yes, but you have been quite resistant."

Shi Xu smiled: "Because I thought it was boring and useless at the time."

Shi Junhao rarely wanted to understand his son's inner thoughts: "Then you find it interesting now?"

"No, there's never been anything interesting to me."

When Shi Junhao heard this, he smiled slightly, and when he looked at Shixu, there was a kind of tolerance unique to the elders: almost everyone felt that the world was boring for a period of time when they were teenagers, and Shixu's thinking was in his eyes. The idea of ​​being a child is undoubtedly a bit naive and ridiculous, but almost every child has such a stage in the process of adulthood, and he is unwilling to encourage the growth of the seedlings, but he does not refute his idea now.In his opinion, even if he didn't need to deliberately teach, Shi Xu could go through this period of time on his own.

Shi Xu added, "But it's quite useful."

"It doesn't matter if it's useful, as long as you're interested. Otherwise, I really don't know how I can let you learn this." Anyway, Shi Xu's loose mouth in this aspect is a good thing for Shi Junhao, and he introduced it happily. I provided basic popular science books on finance and management to Shi Xu, and also answered some of Shi Xu's accumulated doubts by the way, and made a few random remarks.When he came back to his senses, he realized that it was already past zero, so Shi Junhao asked Shi Xu to go back to his room to sleep.

Shi Xu was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something: "Dad, what about Cheng Xia? What arrangements did you have for him?"

Hearing this question, Shi Junhao actually hesitated to answer it, because he was afraid that telling Shi Xu the answer would make him dissatisfied with Cheng Xia, and it would be bad if the two brothers had a quarrel.However, after thinking about it for a while, Shi Junhao still chose to tell the truth. After all, this matter cannot lie to Shi Xu, otherwise it will cause a greater backlash in the future: "There is no arrangement, let Xiaoxia develop freely for whatever he likes, anyway, we can provide for him." worthy of him learning anything."

He paused, and explained to Shi Xu: "Xiaoxia's mother is your mother's friend from childhood. We have a deep relationship. So for Xiaoxia, we will try our best to fulfill him and meet his needs, but this It doesn't mean you are unimportant. Shi Xu, we expect more from you."

"Xiaoxia is not a bad boy. He has always gotten along well with you. I hope you can continue. If you cherish the relationship when you are young, it is likely to last a lifetime. It is a rare wealth."

It's rare for Shi Xu to smile so sincerely in front of Shi Junhao, it's not a stereotyped polite fake smile, but the kind of joy that a real smile seeps into his eyes: "Of course."

Of course our relationship will last a lifetime.

----

Shi Xu was digesting Shi Junhao's words in his mind, especially what he said to Cheng Xia, "try to be perfect" - I am very happy that they have the same idea.

Although he hasn't found anything he likes, if Cheng Xia finds it, he also hopes that he can help him out at that time.

Shi Xu was thinking about something in his head, without even turning on the light, he almost walked back to the room based on his body's memory. It was not until he lay down on the bed that he began to relax and think of other things.For example, the summer homework was finished today, but the daily work was not done well, and he wanted to send...

"boom!"

——Shi Xu sat up abruptly, and for a moment he didn't notice that he swiped his right hand over the alarm clock on the bedside. He picked it up and looked at it, and found that it was dead after such a violent blow. The hands stopped at 11:57, and the second hand was one o'clock Also did not move.

But these are not the point, the point is that he forgot to give Cheng Xia a gift!It's almost midnight, Cheng Xia won't go to bed early, right?

In 3 minutes, Cheng Xia's birthday will be over, and Shi Xu speeds up to take out the presents he prepared. At this moment, there is no time to think about the "108 styles of casually giving gifts", so he just ran to Cheng Xia's room.

Shi Xu was obviously lucky, there was still light coming through the crack in the door of Cheng Xia's room, it was obvious that he hadn't slept.So Shi Xu felt relieved, knocked on the door and went in.

Cheng Xia was already lifting the quilt and getting ready to go to bed, when he suddenly saw Shi Xu come in, he was also very strange: "What's the matter?"

Shi Xu nodded—meaning I have.

Then he directly put the gift on his bedside: "Two days ago, I found out that your birthday is today, so I bought you a gift by chance, and almost forgot to give it."

In order to prevent the gift from being rejected, Shi Xu finished delivering the gift and walked out of the room after talking about the previous summary, leaving Cheng Xia alone to face the gift on the bedside.

In order to show his innocence, Shi Xun chose not to add any packaging very frankly, so the heartbeat of guessing "what is this gift" can be completely thrown aside, and it is now lying on Chengxia's bedside table very simply and rudely. .

It also became the source of Cheng Xia's confused face.

It is a set of books, divided into textbooks and exercises, but they all have a series name.

"XX English Grammar: 30-day learning scum counterattack! "

Shi Xu is mocking me!

Cheng Xia searched with a whole set of books, but he didn't even see a blessing.

He resented: I really thought for a moment that Shi Xu really wanted to give me a birthday present!

The author has something to say: Cheng Xia: This gift =_=...
