Chapter 1170

Gold, one has to ask, who doesn't like it?

Especially since it was all so golden and heavy, so much so that Grandma couldn't help but open her mouth wide when looking at the large peony ring Lu Chuan handed over: "You bought one for me too?"

That peony flower was so big!

It looked better than the gold ring Until Wu Lan bought! After all, that gold ring was chosen to be less flashy, considering it wouldn't be convenient to wear while working.

"Yes." Lu Chuan nodded.

After all, with his income, buying gold nowadays wasn't a difficult task. And once a person is financially well-off, many things become easy to do well.

For example, at this moment, Grandma, who didn't plan on doing any work during the New Year, immediately reached out and put it on her other hand!

Grandma had one, and naturally, Grandma didn't miss out. Wang Lifen held her hand up to the light, looking at it again and again, unable to stop smiling. She even took out her phone to take pictures, and couldn't help but mutter:

"Old man, what words should I write for that Moments post? Come teach me, I only know how to post on Tremolo..."

But Song Youde had no time to pay attention to her at this moment, because Lu Chuan had bought him a small gold Ruyi, already threaded with a black string, just right to hang on his tobacco pipe!

At this moment, when he spoke, his eyes were full of expectation:

It was too small, exposed to the typhoon, and there were no large planting boxes, nor any place to firmly take root. Lu Chuan planting this one was already quite painstaking.

"Aunt, you should have said you had no money earlier, don't force yourself to be generous and insist on hiring a tutor."

"Xiao Lu, you really, coming is enough, why buy these things..."

Not long after, Xiao Yun and Song Sancheng returned to the bedroom, rummaging through boxes and cabinets—

This time point was chosen quite well; many people go to visit relatives on the seventh day of the New Year. It was past 7 o'clock, perhaps the stage where people had just woken up but hadn't gotten out of bed yet.

By the time Lu Chuan came to his senses, he was already holding the red envelopes Xiao Yun had given him—

I think, perhaps it's like Mint's mother, wanting to tell the whole world how excellent her daughter's boyfriend (her own boyfriend) is!

【Great, great, great! Our Teacher Ma Hu's sister is not only beautiful, but her family is also so good to the dog author, right? You want to show off that, right?】

He looked at Until Wu Lan, and because of the people present, he didn't say the rest.

Only Song Sancheng looked at the men's large ring in his hand, unable to stop smiling while pretending to be polite:

However, he didn't have a chance to think, because it was fine for women to wear gold jewelry; many aunts and grandmothers in the village had them. But if a stinky old man had gold hanging on his tobacco pipe, that would be too flashy.

"Can't you come up with 3,400 yuan? Are you that poor?"

So, less than ten minutes after it was fresh, the only gold accessory of his life was taken away.

"This..."

"Take it, there is indeed such a custom—it's just right that you can take it back and tell your mother about it."

Because her sachet box was hollowed out, opening it now revealed red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple gemstones inside! Not only could they be used to decorate the golden jewelry, but they could also be taken out individually for inlaying, which was very thoughtful!

She finished speaking and reached out her hand:

But Until Wu Lan nodded, already understanding: "I know, so, White Moonlight and Titan, all the flowers you like, we can plant them."

"Is that so? Is that so? I've already come to knock on the door, you're embarrassing yourself in the whole district, and you're really not giving money?"

Before she could finish, she was glared at by Song Dafang: "You too! Ziyi is so small, what kind of tutor did you find?! How can we hold our heads high in the district now?"

【What if it works out, living apart in two places isn't a solution, right?】

Song Tan's voice became even louder because of this.

Not safe.

"It's the New Year, you wouldn't want me to call the police to celebrate, would you?"

But it doesn't matter, I'll put on the big necklace now, and during the New Year, I'll let everyone know how excellent my son-in-law is!

"I'm telling you, Dayun, girls nowadays really don't know how to be grateful! I just saw that you were teaching our Ziyi quite seriously, and I was thinking of introducing you to a partner with good conditions!"

The neighbor's house made a few subtle sounds; there was no need to guess that the other party was watching their family's fun. Song Tan was instantly enraged:

The girl named Dayun tucked her phone into her pocket, hands on her hips, standing at the door with sharp, flying eyebrows, looking even more formidable:

Macaron light colors, blue-purple series, as well as fiery red series, cool white series, etc...

"At the beginning, I taught your granddaughter to do homework, taught everything from language to math to English, and had to do crafts and posters, and had to pick her up from kindergarten interest classes..."

However, people's happiness is not connected.

He opened his phone, first finding some cool-loving flowers suitable for winter planting, thought for a moment, and turned to search for the city's flower and bird market, having already decided that before leaving, he would strive to fill the flower beds on both sides.

"Uncle and Aunt are really shameless! Can't even bear to part with a few thousand yuan."

"You're the one who's bad, opening your mouth like a lion, not only asking for money but also ruining my reputation..."

"Who asks for debt collection during the New Year?! There's no such logic anywhere in the world."

Lu Chuan paused, then smiled: "Yes, this is a Titan sunflower. I planted it in my terrace garden, and then picked out the seeds."

As for Xiao Yun, she had already taken photos and was struggling with whether to post them to her Moments!

And the planning for the wide, empty flower beds inside and outside Until Wu Lan's courtyard and the empty spaces on both sides—

"Come out! You two come out!"

Song Tan was even more resentful.

Then she smiled at Lu Chuan again: "Have you used my homemade nutrient solution? The flowers you like—not just sunflowers, any other flower, in my hands, will grow very well."

Not only them, but even the daughter-in-law, Sun Yanyan, had a dark face, feeling deeply embarrassed, and dragged her husband back to her maiden home before their daughter had fully woken up.

Lu Chuan remembered that precious, unmasked trust and nodded seriously.

"Are girls nowadays all crazy about money? When did I say I wouldn't give money? It's you who opened your mouth with an unreasonable price..."

He thought for a moment, took out the red envelope, took a photo, and sent it to the reader group that had given him countless bad ideas.

Mint said "Ah," a bit dumbfounded. After a long time, he grunted in defense: "It's different..." He turned to look at Lu Chuan, trying to seek help, but Lu Chuan cleared his throat and changed the subject: "Mint, let me take a picture of you."

"Is there such a way to default on debt in this world?"

"Don't let me into the district group again..."

"We agreed on the price at the beginning, right? 80 an hour, go ask around, whose tutor costs that much now."

"Defaulting on debt during the New Year, you're probably going to be unlucky for a year."

"Oh my, you also know it's not good to collect debt during the New Year? Then why didn't you settle my salary before the New Year? I've been asking from the 21st to the 7th!"

I saw the girl with slightly dark skin but sharp expression at the door of the old district residence, holding her phone in one hand while rhythmically "bang-bang" knocking on their door.

Song Tan's complexion became even uglier.

And when the day the sunflower matured finally arrived, he had sent out all the seeds, leaving only this most shriveled one.

【Tsk tsk tsk! Only I am the dog author's soulmate... not to mention anything else, no one is going to mention the thickness of this red envelope?】

【Same here, same here! I'll do it for 3,500 a month with room and board!】

Who knew the girl named Dayun wasn't easy to mess with either, her tongue was exceptionally sharp:

"Hey! Where's the cash? How much cash did our family withdraw for the New Year?"

"Also, Aunt! You said you'd introduce me to a partner, and I agreed. But you didn't say the partner you introduced was a relative, and once things worked out and everyone became relatives, the money wouldn't have to be paid, right?"

But—

This feeling of being able to act arbitrarily, being completely trusted, and at the same time being able to trust others... is really good.

Lu Chuan pushed back with difficulty while looking at Until Wu Lan for help, but saw Until Wu Lan reach out and take the red envelope:

At the very least, at this moment, Song Dafang and Song Tan felt overwhelmed.

The frugal little old man didn't dare to think about it!

"3,400 yuan, plus the money for the train ticket I couldn't buy because I couldn't go home during the New Year—a total of 4,000 yuan, Aunt, just say whether you'll give it or not?"

Originally, I thought about whether to contract a farm in the suburbs to plant some other flowers, but when collecting gemstones to put in the sachet box, I don't know how, but I put the seeds in too.

Until Wu Lan laughed: "Please, I am the number one vulgar person in the world, could I possibly not love gold and silver jewelry?"

"Is this a New Year's gift?"

【Damn, you guys are rolling this during the New Year?! Do you know I resigned?】

And after a burst of excitement, considering Lu Chuan had traveled all night, Xiao Yun forced him to rest and showed him the four-piece set she had just laid out:

"Forget it, forget it, it's really not enough, Mom should have some more there, I'll go get some..."

Lu Chuan looked at her smiling as she carefully poured out the gemstones and nodded: "Yes. Do you like it? Will it be a bit vulgar?"

"Come, come, giving red envelopes for the New Year is the rule—this is from your uncle and me, this is from Grandma and Grandma..."

"From the winter break until now, it's been a month, right? You cut the nearly two-hour class to one hour, and I often have to do some nanny work, what does it mean to not give a penny now?"

However, looking at the questions the readers were worried about, he remembered the design progress Zhao Fangyuan had been following, and couldn't help but smile with relief.

"It will grow very tall, very tall, it should grow in a place that is free..."

"Sigh, this Xiao Lu is really something, originally our custom is that when a girl's boyfriend comes to pay a New Year's visit, a red envelope of 300 or 1,000 is just a gesture... with him doing this, I don't even have enough money..."

"Did I say I wouldn't give it? Did I say I wouldn't give it? It's you, Dayun, who are not being proper in your actions!"

The two old men looked at each other, both dejected.

How to describe this feeling?

The young couple whispered together, and the Song family, who had received such a substantial gift for the first time, exchanged glances and discussed in low voices.

【That's right! Everyone is a fan, please ask the author if they are still hiring! I'll do it for 4,000 a month with room and board!】

She was too enthusiastic, so much so that Lu Chuan had no room to refuse, and didn't even have time to talk to Until Wu Lan.

Showing off is definitely something to do, but if I post it to Moments, would it be too flashy?

"Don't hide inside and not make a sound, I know you're home."

Ma Hu touched his lucky bag pendant on the side, interrupted his words, and said happily:

For me, this actually doesn't quite fit my previous style.

【Please! Who else would have this kind of trouble? Must live in Ma Hu's house, right?!】

Lu Chuan couldn't help but feel happy again, opened his suitcase, stuffed the three red envelopes into the interlayer, and put them away carefully.

Colorful and golden, who wouldn't like it?

Leaving the old couple at home to deal with the girl outside the door.

"Is that so? Is that so? You're so good at calculating, why didn't you lend money at high interest?"

Until Wu Lan was indeed quite happy.

The red envelopes were indeed quite thick. Lu Chuan had no sleepiness now, opened them to look, and found that the three red envelopes added up to a full 18,000 yuan.

But she didn't dare to argue with Song Dafang. At this moment, she pulled the door open bitterly and gave the girl outside a piece of her mind:

【Seventh day of the New Year, people are returning to their maiden homes, what are you doing, author?】

Until Wu Lan wasn't happy: "Who said that, isn't a sweet potato vine necklace a necklace?"

"I like it so much! Brother! I like this super much! I've never worn a necklace before!"

My daughter Tantan is capable! Good eye!

Oh my! Oh my!

"Look, these were all bought for you by Tantan, the silk or cotton material, it's so soft!... Hurry up, get some good rest, I'll call you when the relatives come at noon."

If you go out with that, smoking a cigarette, how flashy would that be?

This money, from brand new to having signs of use, to the folding marks being very heavy... it's not hard to imagine how much effort it took to scrape together so much money.

Just inside the pile of gemstones in the sachet box, I don't know how, but there was an extra, quite large sunflower seed. Because its length happened to get stuck in the box, it didn't fall out all at once just now.

As she spoke, Song Dafang finally couldn't bear it anymore and instructed Song Tan: "Go open the door."

Looking at the temporarily found red envelope being stretched out and bulging, Until Wu Lan couldn't help but laugh.

Then she was stunned: "Eh? Such a big sunflower seed."

Looking at the heavy hollow gold sachet box in Until Wu Lan's hand, she could only give up in dejection.

Goodness, with these red envelopes scraped together, the cash at home was basically cleared out; it wouldn't be surprising if my mom couldn't even pull out money to play cards this afternoon.

"Oh my, who knew Aunt, you look decent, but you're not proper when doing things?"

She thought for a moment, took out her tablet, and began to seriously outline the green plants and flowers to be planted around the homestay in the future.

Lu Chuan exploded that group of lurkers with just one picture.

The old district isn't soundproof; the neighbors didn't go out to visit relatives early this morning, so they might be listening at the door right now.

There's even less need to mention Grandpa, who is about the same as me.

Large patches of floral materials seemed to appear right before her eyes, and the flowers that couldn't be boldly tried due to space constraints in the past were now recorded one by one.

Several people scraped together and finally managed to get three red envelopes.
