Chapter 187 Gift Giving

Chapter 187 presents gifts

Around three in the afternoon, xia lin's car came to the wholesale market to pick her up. This time, Xia family's parents came, and xia's father personally drove his daughter to school.

After waving goodbye to Li Jianguo and the others, as soon as they got in the car, they politely shouted, "Xia uncle, aunt Wen, Xia Lin, happy lantern festival."

The Xia family couple returned with a friendly smile and said, "Happy lantern festival!"

Xia Lin also said, and then couldn't wait to ask, "Li Haitang, did you bring anything?"

"Yes." Before she left for Hushi, Xia Lin called her specifically to bring her two things in Hushi. She handed her two exquisite and beautiful boxes from her backpack.

Xia Lin opened the two boxes to take a closer look and smiled with satisfaction. Then, with a rare coquettish smile, he handed the two boxes to his mother who was sitting on the passenger seat, "Dad, mom, this is the lantern festival gift that my daughter gave you."

As he drove, papa xia looked back and saw the exquisite blue tie in the box. He smiled and said, "Well, daddy likes this gift. Thank you, lin' er."

Wen Xiaoni also smiled and said, "This brooch is very beautiful. Mom likes it too. Thank you."

"Hehe, if you like it, that means Li Haitang has a good eye." Xia Lin only told her to buy these two types, but let her choose the style.

Li Haitang shook his head helplessly, "It's not that I have good taste, but the most expensive ones on the counter in the largest department store in Hushi are these two. I think the price always makes sense."

The Xia family three were stunned, and then they all laughed. This kid is really honest.

Li Haitang took a few more small things from his backpack, took a light green bottle and handed it to Wen Xiaoni. He introduced it to her, "Aunt Wen, this bottle of perfume is for you. It's authentic f."

"Haitang, this..." Their family had a good reputation in the province. They didn't usually have much foreign goods, but they also knew the value of Country f perfume.

Aunt Wen, take it. I'm still a student, and it's not appropriate for me to use cosmetics like perfume. My friend gave me a whole set, some facial cleansers, some face fresheners, and so on. I also gave them to my married aunt and sister-in-law." Chu Xiaoman gave it to her, and she was embarrassed to accept it, but later when she went shopping in the department store, she bought a gift back for her.

"Mom, take what she gave you. I'll give her a few more books later." Xia Lin chuckled. She knew that Li Haitang was particularly fond of books. No matter how many books he collected, he would not despise them even if they were old and incomplete.

Wen Xiaoni smiled and nodded, "Okay. Haitang, then the auntie accepted it without ceremony. Thank you for the gift."

"Auntie, you're welcome." Then he stuffed the rest of the items into Xia Lin's hand. "Xia Lin, here you go."

Xia Lin reached out and took it, looking at the packaging the same way, and asked curiously, "What are these?"

"There is a harmonica in this small rectangular box. I heard that you play the piano very well and very musical, so I chose a harmonica for you. The rest of them are little things that girls like, found at random in shopping malls in Hushi."

"Thank you."

Xia Lin had already opened the box and saw a light gold harmonica in it. He suddenly laughed and joked, "Li Haitang, why do I think this is like a gold bar?"

The Xia family couple took a look back, then both hooked up and smiled.

Li Haitang really didn't think of this when he bought it. He was a little stunned. He smiled happily and said, "When I bought it, I actually liked a silver-white one, but yue yang said that the light gold one looked better. Zhou Yunyang also said that it looked good, so I bought it."

Xia Lin smiled helplessly. In fact, the harmonica was pretty, but the color was a little strange.

"Did your friend succeed in buying a state-owned factory?" Xia Lin put everything in her backpack and asked her about other things.

Li Haitang nodded, "Well, it's almost done. The price hasn't been completely settled yet. It's going to take some time."

"Didn't he say he was going to study abroad? Now that we have a factory, how will he manage it abroad?" Xia Lin didn't care about these things in the past, only heard Li Haitang say it once.

Li Haitang was stunned. In the blink of an eye, she knew that she was confused. She explained, "The friend who started the factory is from the same school as your brother, and he is in the same year. He studies business management. He will not continue to study after graduation this year. He intends to concentrate on business. Zhou Yunyang's cousin, Xu Yueyang, studied abroad. He majored in construction economics at the Huaqing. He passed the toefl exam and went to country y in mid-august for two years."

"Oh, I was confused."

"Xia Lin, Director wang of the red cross sent me a letter saying that they are hosting a fund-raising event at the university of political science and law that you want to apply for this summer. This time, they are sponsoring retired heroes who participated in the war of resistance in Hunan province. Shall we go to the capital together after the college entrance examination?" Since they got together last summer, Li Haitang and Director wang had written two letters to each other, and she had actively participated in meaningful public welfare activities, donating several batches of supplies in the name of her Mu Zihaitang.

Father xia, who was driving, turned to look at her in surprise. He didn't even know about this. This little girl actually met Director wang from the red cross?

Li Haitang met his eyes and immediately realized that he had just gotten too excited and said something he shouldn't have. Suddenly, he was a little embarrassed and smiled awkwardly, "Xia uncle, I met Director wang at a fundraiser last summer when I was playing in the capital."

Father xia smiled, "I see. We haven't received any notice about this in our province. Now it seems that the news will be passed down soon. This kind of fund-raising event is very meaningful. You can go to it more often when you have time."

"Okay."

When they returned to the dormitory in tan city, Su Tong and Lin Peipei had already arrived. Coincidentally, both of their parents were here to help clean up. After the adults were polite, they took the four girls to the school to register, and they didn't leave until around 5: 30.

It was the last semester of senior high school. Li Haitang stopped her novel for a while, and left everything in the store to Li Jianguo. She was fully prepared for the college entrance examination.

They studied every minute in school, and the parents at home were worried and nervous after work. Although their children's grades were not bad, they couldn't help but worry. The The su family and the Lin family in tan city sent food to them every three to five days, and the nanny of the company came once a week with bags of nutrition and fruits and meat dishes.

After dealing with the business in the shop, Liu Fen went back to Ping shan town to take care of Li Tao for more than a month, then gave Li Jianhong a lot of money and asked her to cook for Li Tao every day. Back in tan city in early may, she stayed at her mother's house and focused on taking care of Li Haitang and Duan Jinqiao.

Liu Fen's wife and brother worked in the factory, and their family conditions were good, but it was not a problem to disturb their family there for a long time. Li Haitang finally decided that the two of them would stay at the sister-in-law's house for the time being, but they would not eat together. He invited aunt fen to help them cook in their dorm. The four of them paid her wages and prepared lunch and dinner every day. The two of them also ate with them.

Liu Fen thought it was okay, agreed to her arrangement, but insisted on not getting paid.

In this way, with aunt Fen to prepare food for them every day, every lunch time to the school gate on time, they sent someone to pick it up. At noon, he would have lunch in the classroom, then take a nap on his stomach and wait for classes to continue in the afternoon. Dinner was the same. After dinner at school, they continued their evening self-study and didn't go back together until after class was over at nine.

It was early june, and the weather was getting hotter. The four of them went back to their dorms after evening self-study. Lin peipei went to take a bath first. Li Haitang sat on a chair and read the newspaper that Liu Fen had bought in the morning.

The world cup started in 1990, and this year's summer in Italy was quite interesting. Unfortunately, she had to go to school and couldn't stay up late to watch the game.

Su Tong came out of the room and suddenly remembered something. He patted his head and turned around to come in with two letters. "Li Haitang, I almost forgot about this. There are two letters for you. Teacher Qin asked me to pass them to you."

"Oh." Li Haitang reached out to take it and looked at the handwriting on the envelope. One was from jiang chuheng and the other was from wang li. She picked up two letters and went back to her room. First, she tore open Wang Li's letter and found out that she had broken into the top ten in her high school monthly exam. She was very happy for her. Wang Li was in the top ten of the County one middle school's liberal arts major, and it was not a problem to get into an ordinary undergraduate course.

Looking at Jiang Chuheng's letter again, the contents of the letter were as concerned as ever. He didn't say much about himself. He also said that the day of his sister's wedding was the day when he got the results of the college entrance examination. He couldn't come to share his joy with her, but he would wait for her good news at home.

Li Haitang took out the letter paper and pen from the desk drawer, quickly wrote back to them, put them in an envelope, put a stamp on the table, and waited for the mail to be sent tomorrow.

"Haitang, you can take a bath now." Lin peipei came in to remind her as she wiped her hair with a towel.

Li Haitang immediately stood up and rushed into the bathroom with his clean clothes.

Lin peipei picked up the two letters on the table and saw that one of them was Instructor jiang's. There was a gossipy smile between their eyes and brows. The two of them communicated so frequently that it might be possible in the future.

It was only the last month before the college entrance examination, and the other three parents came frequently. It was unknown who took the lead in delivering the sun god oral liquid, and the others immediately followed suit. The four of them were told to take it on time. It was quite expensive, and the examinees only started drinking about a month before the exam. When they saw other people drinking it, they felt that they were not confident enough if they didn't drink it. In the corner of the classroom, there was always a pile of glass bottles and straw littered in the trash can.
