Chapter 2222 He Hongmei’s gift

There were still two days before Zhang Xiangbei and Xiangnan's wedding. He Hongmei flew to Hangzhou from Japan in advance. She told Xiaofang that she would come to help. There was no wedding between Beibei and Nannan. Her aunt would not come to help. .

Zhang Xiangbei and Xiangnan went to Xiaoshan Airport to pick her up. After picking her up, they were still as they were when they were children, one on the left and one on the right. However, when they were young, it was He Hongmei who held their hands, but now they are Two people, one on each side, took He Hongmei's arm and walked to the parking lot. He Hongmei shouted:

"Relax, you make me feel like an old lady."

Xiang Nan chuckled: "If I don't let go, I'm afraid you will disappear."

He Hongmei smiled and begged for mercy: "At least Beibei, you can let go. You are so tall, you carried me away."

Zhang Xiangbei laughed and let go of He Hongmei, but held He Hongmei's suitcase with one hand and still walked close to He Hongmei's body.

After getting in the car, Zhang Xiangbei drove in front, while Xiangnan and He Hongmei sat in the back. He Hongmei asked Xiangnan, had the new house been decorated?

"Everything has been bought, but it hasn't been decorated yet. Aunt Xiaofang said that Aunt Hongmei will help arrange it. You are the best at this." Xiang Nan said.

He Hongmei smiled and said: "Xiaofang still understands me. Let's go and see your new house first."

Just when Xiang Nan wanted to tell Zhang Xiangbei that he would go to "Splendid Qianjiang" first, Zhang Xiangbei smiled and said, "I heard it."

After arriving at the underground parking lot of "Splendid Qianjiang" and parking the car, He Hongmei asked Zhang Xiangbei to open the trunk. She unzipped her largest suitcase. The space inside the suitcase was basically occupied by a A large white cardboard box occupied the space, and He Hongmei asked Zhang Xiangbei to take out the cardboard box.

The design of the white paper box is very simple, without any patterns. On both sides of the box, there are four black words the size of one-yuan coins: "Okura Pottery Garden".

He Hongmei and Xiang Nan Xiangbei said, "This is a gift from auntie."

"Aunt Hongmei, dad and Aunt Shuzhen told us that we can't accept any gifts this time." Zhang Xiangbei said.

"Return to Aunt Shuzhen!" He Hongmei reached out and patted Zhang Xiangbei on the back of the head. Zhang Xiangbei chuckled:

"It's called getting used to it."

He Hongmei said: "You don't have to accept other people's gifts. Can you not accept aunt's gifts? When I was a child, every time I came from Beijing, if I didn't bring you a gift, would you let me go?"

Xiang Nan chuckled: "No."

Zhang Xiangbei said: "Thank you Aunt Hongmei."

The three of them went upstairs to Zhang Xiangbei's new house. Zhang Xiangbei held the paper box, took the key to the south and opened the door. He Hongmei stood stunned at the door and shouted:

"This is too exaggerated, so beautiful!"

Finally, he added: "Master must have spent a lot of effort to bring out all his housekeeping skills."

Master? Xiangnan and Zhang Xiangbei were stunned for a moment, and then they remembered that He Hongmei was talking about Zhang Chen.

Zhang Xiangbei said with a smile: "There is also Uncle Xiaoshu."

He Hongmei nodded and walked into the living room. She stood in front of the oil painting painted by Xiao Shu, looked at it, shook her head, and sighed:

"The painting of the little tree is really great!"

In a daze, she remembered that time in Chongqing, when she helped Xiaoshu find a teacher. He Hongmei went to find her classmate. The classmate said that he didn't have students and didn't have time. He Hongmei persuaded him hard, and finally the classmate agreed.

Zhang Xiangbei put the paper box down on the coffee table in the living room. He Hongmei and Xiang Nan said to open it quickly and take a look.

Xiang Nan took a utility knife and opened the paper box. Inside was a wooden box. The wood was white Japanese beech. The wood grain was fine and there was no paint. It still maintained the original grain and texture of the beech wood. He just used water sandpaper to polish each piece. Every corner has been carefully polished.

There is still no extra decoration on the wooden box, but in the middle, there are two lines of words written vertically with a brush. One line is "Built to worship the south and the north", and the other line is the four words "Okura Pottery Garden".

He Hongmei and Xiang Nan Xiangbei said: "In Japan, there are three top quality bone china: Narumi, Noritake and Nikko. This Okura Pottery was separated from Noritake a hundred years ago, just to make more. High-quality bone china and porcelain used by the Japanese royal family are all custom-made here.

"I went to them and asked their best painters and craftsmen to make this set of porcelain specially for you. This set of patterns is also unique. There is only this set in the world. With this method, they originally This has only been done for the Princess of Japan and Princess Diana of England.”

He Hongmei looked at Xiang Nan and Zhang Xiangbei and said with a smile: "That's right, Bei Bei is our king, and Nan Nan is our princess!"

Zhang Xiangbei and Xiangnan both laughed. After hearing what He Hongmei said, they were both eager to see the tea set, but were reluctant to open it. He Hongmei urged:

"Beibei, open it and take a look."

"Then I opened it?" Zhang Xiangbei turned to look at Xiangnan and nodded to Xiangnan.

There were two copper buckles on the side of the wooden box. Zhang Xiangbei untied the copper buckles and opened the box. The two of them gasped.

They saw that the inside of the box was entirely made of black gold velvet, with tea sets embedded in the recessed places. The entire tea set included a teapot, four teacups, and four saucers. In one corner of the box, there are four exquisite small silver spoons with the words "Okura Pottery Garden" embedded in them.

This set of porcelain is as white as snow, and the patterns on it seem to have come out of the snow. The patterns on the teapot and teacups are all Chinese drama characters. The images are very similar to those of Xiang Nan, who is used for the characters. It is a freehand brushwork of Chinese painting, but the accompanying landscape background, flowers and plants are in the style of Ukiyo-e.

"Do you like it?" He Hongmei asked.

"It's so beautiful. It's like a work of art. I definitely won't be able to use it," Xiang Nan said.

He Hongmei smiled. She picked up a teacup and turned it over to show them. Zhang Xiangbei and Xiangnan saw that on the bottom of the cup, there were written the words "Xiang Nan Xiangbei's Happy Wedding" and Okura Tao. He Hongmei said:

"Did you see that this word was written by me? It's on the bottom of everything."

Xiang Nan and Zhang Xiangbei laughed. This was really their only set of porcelain. They quickly said, thank you Aunt Hongmei!

The door was not closed when they came in. The sound of the elevator closing was heard from outside the door, followed by the sound of two people talking. He Hongmei's heart shivered and she stood up immediately.

Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan walked in from the door. The two people just in front were chatting in Zhang Chen's office, and they wanted to come here to see if there was anything they had forgotten.

"Master!"

He Hongmei shouted, and when Zhang Chen saw her, he was shocked and froze there.

Xiangnan and Zhang Xiangbei, according to what Xiaofang said, neither of them told Zhang Chen that He Hongmei was coming to their wedding, and Xiaofang didn't tell them either. Just like Xiaofang herself said, whether it was a surprise or Frightened, they decided to give him this blow.

Zhang Chen was stunned and asked: "Hongmei, why are you here?"

"Why, you're not welcome?" He Hongmei looked at him and said, "Whether you like it or not, I'm already here. I'm here to attend the wedding of Nannan and Beibei. I don't need to ask for your permission."

"No, no, how could I not welcome you?" Zhang Chen was embarrassed and at a loss for words, he muttered: "I just didn't expect it."

"That's great, Sichuan girl!" Liu Ligan shouted from the side, "I haven't seen you for so many years. I didn't expect that you haven't changed at all. You are still like a girl. Especially this mouth, you are still so sharp and articulate."

"Go away, you stinking scoundrel." He Hongmei retorted, "You are being given too much advantage. Is there any justice for you to pick up such a good daughter like Nan Nan for nothing?"

Everyone laughed, and Zhang Chen relaxed with this smile.

Everyone went home together. At home, two old ladies had prepared a table of dishes. They didn't know that He Hongmei would come today. He Hongmei followed Zhang Chen and the others in. When the two old ladies saw her, they were stunned. There.

He Hongmei bowed to both of them and called her aunt.

Zhang Chen's mother was peeling garlic in her hand, preparing to make a dipping sauce for boiled shrimps. The garlic in her hand fell to the ground, and Zhang Xiangxi shouted:

"Grandma, your garlic fell off."

Zhang Chen's mother didn't care about this and came over at the same time as Xiaofang's mother. The two hugged He Hongmei and started crying. Zhang Chen's mother said:

"Hongmei, Hongmei, you are finally back. You miss us so much."

He Hongmei hugged them with tears in her eyes.

Zhang Xiangxi walked up to them, put his hands on his hips, raised his head and looked at He Hongmei, then at the two old ladies, and then at He Hongmei. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, and reached out to pull the hem of He Hongmei's clothes and asked:

"Auntie, auntie, who are you?"

He Hongmei looked at her and smiled with tears in her eyes: "I know you are Xixi, right?"

Zhang Xiangxi was puzzled and asked, "You already know who I am, so why don't I know you?"

Next, Zhang Xiangxi felt that she was going to be very busy today. She wanted to make out with Xiangnan and He Hongmei. After a while, her mother came in again with Aunt Liu Yun and Aunt Liu Qing, and she wanted to make out with He Hongmei again. The two of them went to kiss.

Zhang Xiangxi felt that his teeth were almost falling out from laughing today. Why were there so many people at home?

Immediately afterwards, Tan Shuzhen also came back. Zhang Chen's mother hurriedly invited everyone to have dinner and asked Zhang Xiangbei to go to the underground parking lot to call the two land reclamation warriors.

Everyone was about to sit down, but there were too many people to sit at one table. Zhang Chen’s mother was worried, but Lao Zhang was happy.

Lao Zhang directed Xiaofang and He Hongmei to put aside the dishes on the table, and asked Zhang Chen and Liu Lipole to take away the glass turntable and clear the table. He and Xiaofang's father immediately started to work.

Everyone saw that the original round table was lifted up and turned by two people, and it immediately expanded in a circle. It turned out that this table had been transformed by the two of them. The round tabletop that could seat ten people turned into a It can seat sixteen people without feeling crowded at all.

Zhang Xiangxi was startled and screamed.

Liu Ligan praised Lao Zhang and Xiaofang's father for being so awesome. You two are totally like Luban!

The two land reclamation warriors were laughing and couldn't close their mouths.
