Forced to make a fake show with the president

July [-]th is Zhang Shuhua's birthday, Tan Yuqing told Pei Xi a week in advance, and asked her for two days of "leave".Naturally, Pei Xi did not refuse, and went to choose gifts with her.

Pei Xi is rich and powerful, so there is no cheap and low-key shop that he enters, and the lowest price starts at [-] yuan. The jewelry he fancy is in the six-figure or seven-figure figure. Followed her out of the jewelry store.

"You don't have to pick those expensive ones, my mother doesn't like them."

In her memory, her mother had a lot of necklaces and jewelry, cheap and expensive, gold and silver, but the number of times she could wear them was very few, and they were kept in the storage box all year round to eat ashes.The last time I took them out, it was because the creditors came to make trouble, so my mother sold them for money.

Pei Xi frowned. When she gave gifts to her parents, she always picked some beautiful jewelry or some high-end skin care products. Apart from these, she really didn't know what else to give, so she simply asked, "What does Auntie like?"

Tan Yuqing thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Calligraphy and painting! My mother likes ink painting and calligraphy very much."

When there was a study room at home, she often read books and practiced calligraphy in it, and she especially appreciated these charming things.Sending calligraphy and painting will definitely make her happy.

Pei Xi pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered that a long time ago, someone had given her calligraphy and painting. She remembered that she didn't pay much attention to it at the time, and just threw it in the study. She should be able to find it now.

"I know where it is, come with me."

Pei Xi dragged Tan Yuqing into the car, and returned to Shangyungang the same way.

As soon as she entered the room, she immediately went to the study on the second floor and began to search for things.

Seeing her busy, Tan Yuqing asked, "What are you looking for?"

"Calligraphy and painting." Pei Xi didn't lift his head, but knelt on the ground and concentrated on searching.

Finally, after half an hour, I found an ink painting from the crack of the bookshelf.

"How about you come over and see this?"

Tan Yuqing leaned over and was amazed by the chic and vivid painting skills on the screen.

A white crane flutters lightly on the surface of the illusory river, with a graceful figure, like a dream, which makes people unable to take their eyes off at a glance.

Tan Yuqing was delighted: "This! That's it! Mom will definitely like it!"

However, before she was happy for too long, she caught a glimpse of the red seals next to the ink painting, there were seven or eight of them.

Generally speaking, every time an ancient painting is handled, the new owner will affix his own seal, which means that it is his own property.Although this cannot directly show the value of the painting, it can indirectly show that the painting is very popular.

Tan Yuqing didn't know if it was a fake or the real thing, but judging from the painting skills and the seals with different styles, this painting must be priceless, maybe even more expensive than the jewelry seen today.

"This...too precious..." Tan Yuqing didn't dare to accept it.

"It's okay, anyway, I don't understand these things, so putting them here is also the bottom of the box, it's better to give it to someone you like."

This painting was given to her a long time ago, at least five or six years ago.If it hadn't been mentioned by Tan Yuqing, I'm afraid it will take a year of the monkey to see the sun again.

"But……"

"Don't worry about it. You have cooked so many meals for me these days and helped me sleep better. This painting should be regarded as your reward, as it should be."

Tan Yuqing still wanted to persuade her, but seeing the determination in Pei Xi's eyes, she couldn't say anything to refuse.

"it is good."

She owed Pei Xi more and more, and it might be difficult to repay in her whole life.

On July [-]th, under Tan Yuqing's persuasion, Pei Xi finally agreed to go to Guangcheng Community with her to celebrate her mother's birthday.

They didn't tell Zhang Shuhua in advance, just to give her a surprise.

When she came downstairs in the community, Tan Yuqing was a little nervous. She somehow felt that she didn't want to celebrate her mother's birthday, but came to bring her girlfriend to meet her parents.

She swallowed, and squeezed Pei Xi's hand to comfort her: "Don't be nervous, I will say we are friends in a while, my mother won't think too much about it."

Pei Xi looked indifferent, thinking: Who is nervous.

But she didn't poke it, and gave Tan Yuqing a hum, cheering her up.

Carrying the cake gift, the two went upstairs. When they came to the door, Tan Yuqing took a deep breath and knocked on the door solemnly.

"Here we come..." Zhang Shuhua's voice sounded, and Tan Yuqing suddenly felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and unconsciously tensed up, clutching the hem of his clothes tightly.

"Don't be nervous." Pei Xi whispered in her ear, her voice was gentle and deep, which really made her relax a lot.

The door opened, and Zhang Shuhua was startled when she saw Tan Yuqing, and noticed that the woman beside her with a dusty temperament was inexplicably embarrassed: "This is..."

It's six in the afternoon, she's just getting ready to cook, and she's still wearing her apron.

"Her name is Pei Xi, and she is my friend." Tan Yuqing tugged at the corner of Pei Xi's clothes, Pei Xi understood, and lowered her head slightly: "Hello, auntie."

"Hello." Zhang Shuhua turned sideways quickly, "Come in."

After entering the room, before Tan Yuqing sat down, Zhang Shuhua dragged her to the kitchen first: "Why are you back today? Also, who is that outside?"

Tan Yuqing smiled flatteringly: "Mom's birthday tomorrow, I'm coming back to celebrate your birthday. As for her... I introduced her, her name is Pei Xi."

Zhang Shuhua squinted at her, "Why did Qingsheng ask someone else to do it? It's not enough to come back by yourself? Tell me, what is your relationship with her?"

In the past 20 years, this is the first time her daughter has brought someone else home, and Zhang Shuhua is not stupid.

Moreover, if I remember correctly, this person also appeared downstairs in my house last time.

Zhang Shuhua squinted her eyes, a woman's intuition told her that things were not simple.

Tan Yuqing pretended to be stupid and said in a daze: "It's just friends, what are you thinking, Mom?"

Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhang Shuhua pursed her lips, not wanting to keep the guests waiting for a long time, so she could only let her go for now.

"I'll settle accounts with you later."

Back in the living room, several people chatted politely.Tan Yuqing took the opportunity to give the gift to her mother.

"Mom, this is a birthday present for you, let's see if you like it."

Suspicious, Zhang Shuhua took the long scroll and opened it, revealing a superb ink painting in front of her eyes.

She couldn't help widening her eyes, shocked by the charm: "This...this is..."

Based on her many years of painting viewing experience, this painting is at least a work of the Tang Dynasty, and the seal on it includes the five dynasties after the Tang Dynasty.Although there is no signature on the painting, it is impossible to determine who made it, but only in terms of painting skills, it is absolutely extraordinary.

"It's too expensive." She knew that with her daughter's financial situation, she would definitely not be able to get such a work.

It was given to her by Pei Xi.

Seeing that she returned the painting to him, Pei Xi took the first step to hold it down: "Auntie, I have Yuqing... You are kind, she deserves it, so you can accept it."

Although Pei Xi subconsciously didn't want to attribute the little things between the two of them as kindness, it was quite appropriate to use it to deceive the aunt.

Sure enough, Zhang Shuhua hesitated.

Tan Yuqing strikes while the iron is hot: "Mom, this is his wish. If you go back, it will embarrass Pei Xi."

Since ancient times, the debt of favor is the most difficult to repay.

Although Zhang Shuhua was still a little unwilling, it was not easy to go back, so she had to accept it.

At dinner, Tan Yuqing wanted to cook for her, but she refused to say anything.

Received a valuable gift today, no matter what the reason was, Zhang Shuhua had to give it back.

Reciprocity.

Although her family doesn't have much money now, they can still afford a delicious meal.

Outside the kitchen, Tan Yuqing sat next to Pei Xi. Thinking of what she said just now, she couldn't help but burst into joy: "I'm kind to you?"

She said this jokingly, her tone was extremely unserious, Pei Xi pursed her lips and did not answer.

Tan Yuqing persisted, and bent her eyebrows to grab her slender fingers: "What's the favor? How can I pay you back?"

Although he has already obtained a painting, to be honest, Tan Yuqing really wants to threaten him with kindness and make Pei Xi agree with him.

Pei Xi ignored her, and when she was agitated, she shook off her hand and sat far away.

But Tan Yuqing has no face or skin, every time she moves away, Tan Yuqing moves closer, like a dog's skin plaster, having a great time.

An hour and a half later, a sumptuous dinner is ready.Tan Yuqing took apart the cake and placed it in the middle of the table, with four candles inserted on it, emitting bright fire light.

"Mom, blow out the candles and make a wish."

Zhang Shuhua didn't like this kind of childish trick, she was a little reluctant.

"Hurry up, you are the birthday star, you have a chance to make a wish, it's a pity to give up."

"What kind of birthday boy?"

Zhang Shuhua was awkward, but she still leaned over, made her wish in the crisp birthday song of her daughter and guests, then took a deep breath and blew out the fire.

"Mom, what wish did you make? Hurry up, let me hear it, maybe my daughter will help you realize it." Tan Yuqing approached with a smile.

Zhang Shuhua pushed her away in disgust: "I won't tell you."

Tan Yuqing snorted in dissatisfaction, with a drawn-out tone.

Pei Xi was amused: "How can anyone inquire about birthday wishes? Isn't it ineffective to say it?"

Tan Yuqing pursed her lips and glanced at her resentfully: "Traitor."

The meal was enjoyable, and with Tan Yuqing around, the atmosphere never cooled down.It was the first time that two strangers who had never met had such a happy conversation.

At 11:30, Zhang Shuhua was a little sleepy and wanted to sleep, but Tan Yuqing refused and insisted on dragging her to stay up for another half an hour.Because half an hour later, it was the beginning of July [-]th, and she still had a surprise for her mother.

Zhang Shuhua laughed angrily: "Is it my birthday or yours?"

Tan Yuqing held her arm and did not let go: "Just half an hour, soon."

Before coming here, she and Pei Xi specially bought electronic fireworks and made a reservation to fire them on time at zero o'clock.

Now if you let mom sleep, then the preparation will fall short.

Zhang Shuhua couldn't hold her back, so she had to sit in front of the TV and pass the time boringly.

Just before midnight, Tan Yuqing pulled the curtains aside and shouted excitedly, "Mom, look!"

Zhang Shuhua turned her head away.

With the sound of firecrackers, colorful fireworks exploded in the dark night, emitting dazzling light.

It shines brighter than thousands of stars, blooms in the night, and makes noise in the silence.The gorgeous colorful lights are scattered everywhere, like meteors falling into the mortal world, staying for a short time, and then disappearing and hiding in the night.

"Happy birthday, Mom." Tan Yuqing stood beside the glass warm window, smiling softly, behind her was the colorful night fire.

Zhang Shuhua's eyes were slightly red, she clenched her fingers tightly, and hummed.Emotions fluctuated violently, and her left chest was stabbed again. She didn't have too many extravagant wishes, she just wanted her daughter to be well.

happy Birthday.

I wish you a safe life.
