Villa inner courtyard.piaotian.

Everyone talked and laughed, beside the two grills standing on the low lawn next to the swimming pool. The red charcoal fire was crackling, and six slices of marinated beef and more than a dozen sweet potatoes were lying on the grill. The sizzling sound of roasted pork and a strong fragrance came from the slightly twisted air.

"It's cooked, eat it quickly."

"Let us Xiao Jing move our chopsticks first, Jing, eat."

"Hey, it's not the same if anyone picks it up first, eat everything, eat everything."

A relaxed and cheerful atmosphere spread over the sky.

Everyone has different habits and different ways of eating. Fei Xiaohong and Jiang Yan sprinkle cumin salt and pepper on the meat, then stuff it directly into their mouths without dipping anything, just like the way to eat lamb kebabs outside. Ximansha and Yan Wanru like to mix sesame paste with sesame paste to eat, while Yuan Yazhen and Zou Yue'e are used to eating the hot pot seasoning sauce. As for me, they can eat anything. Try this and try that flavor. Anyway, there are many types of seasonings, all of which are packed by Aunt Zou from the barbecue restaurant.

After taking a few bites, Jiang Yan shook her mouth, "Huh. It's so delicious. Who eats potatoes? I'll bake it?"

Fei Xiaohong pouted the beef and said vaguely, "I'll eat it, bake it for me."

"Okay." Jiang Yan rolled up her sleeves and started working hard.

Over there, Zou Yue'e laughed, bent down and picked up the boxes of Wuliangye under her feet, opened the box one by one and opened the bottle cap, "Come on, give me the cups, I'm happy today, no one is allowed to drink juice drinks. That has no atmosphere, just white wine, each person has at least one cup, drink more if you can drink, and drink less if you can't. Oh, by the way, Mansha is exceptional. She is not in good health, so she should drink a drink."

Unexpectedly, Xi Mansha shook her head, "Yue'e, I'm fine, I, well, I'll have half a drink too."

Yan Wanru frowned: "Your heart..."

"It's been a long time ago, it doesn't matter if you drink half a cup." Ximansha handed over the cup first.

Zou Yue'e hesitated for a moment and poured a small glass of wine for Xi Mansha. "Then you take it easy, don't force yourself if you can't drink it anymore, there are no outsiders here."

I said, "Yes, drink less, and I drink less, Yue'e, give me half a cup."

Jiang Yan shouted, "kao, I poured one cup, you half a cup? You are the old birthday star, at least three cups, right?"

"Shan, then you can just give me a knife." I rolled my eyes and said, "Do you think I am like Yue'e, one pound or two pounds is no problem? I only need two pounds, no matter how much I get, I will definitely fall down." This family is now typical of the yin and yang decline. Not to mention Zou Yue'e and Yan Wanru, even Jiang Yan and Sister Yuan have better alcohol tolerance than me. As for me, I guess they are of the same level as Xi Mansha, a person who never drinks. Oh, it's embarrassing.

"Come on, let's have one first, I wish us Xiao Jing a happy birthday." Zou Yue'e raised her wine glass.

Yan Wanru also smiled and raised her up. "Successful career."

Yuan Yazhen said: "Peace and peace."

Jiang Yan raised her glass with laughter and said, "Youth will last forever."

Fei Xiaohong laughed and said, "Long live forever."

The more I heard it, the more I sweated, and I coughed, and I touched them one by one with my glass of wine, "Thank you, thank you, what, everyone can order this glass of wine until the time, I don't have to dry it all." Maybe I haven't drunk it for a long time, and a big mouthful of Wuliangye fell into my stomach, and a spicy feeling suddenly blocked between my throat and my chest, and it was so awkward.

Yuan Yazhen picked up a slice of mutton for me and said, "Eat something to squeeze."

"Yeah." After eating the meat, I really suppressed the discomfort.

Next, everyone will have a great time toasting wine with one cup after another, eating and drinking.

Dingdong, Dingdong, Dingdong... The doorbell suddenly rang.

"You guys drink first, I'll go out and take a look." I stood up with the table, rubbed my temples and walked to the door, pressing the switch to open the electronic control door.

The person who came was a young man in his thirties, wearing pajamas and slippers, his hair was piled up on his head, obviously he had just gotten up. I know this person, his surname is Lei, and I can't remember what his name is. However, at night, I often meet him when I take a walk with Ruoru and Zou Yue'e in the community garden. I heard that this person is a text editor in a newspaper, and his parents are doing business. He has some money, so he also lives in the villa area here, and the second floor next to my house is.

"Brother Lei." I said suspiciously: "What's wrong with this?"

Brother Lei's face was a little anxious, "Did you see my Caicai in the morning?" Caicai was his puppy, Pomei.

I blinked and said, "I didn't pay attention to this. In the morning, I sent the child to my grandma's house. I just returned for a while and didn't go to the garden. What's wrong? The vegetables were lost?"

Brother Lei hammered his head: "Yes, I just woke up and couldn't find it when I opened my eyes. I didn't know where I ran out, alas."

At this time, Zou Yue'e burst into laughter like a silver bell, "Hahaha, that's not it."

The few people had a very happy chat.

Brother Lei was stunned and blinked his eyes and looked at Yan Wanru's direction: "That's...hey, why do you look familiar?"

Although he was just a side face, Yan Wanru did not wear sunglasses today. I was afraid that he would recognize Sister Yan, so I quickly stepped forward and said, "Oh, my wife called a few friends to come to play at home, um. By the way, why don't you go to the property and ask, maybe someone picked it up and put it there?" Even though he was not a reporter, Brother Lei also works in the newspaper. I don't want to provide them with any news materials about Sister Yan.

Brother Lei glanced a few more times before retracting his gaze, "Okay, then I'll look for it again. I'm sorry, I'll bother you to have dinner."

"It's okay, it's okay." I sent him out, "Come to sit at home if you have time."

After seeing him off, I turned around and sat down next to Aunt Zou.

Zou Yue'e narrowed her eyes and took a big sip of wine. "...Who?"

My chin blew my eyes diagonally across the villa, "Brother Lei, my dog ​​is lost, please ask if we see it."

Zou Yue'e remembered something and looked at Yan Wanru with a smile and said, "By the way, that person seems to be at the newspaper office. Wanru, why don't you bring sunglasses? Be careful that the person named Lei secretly took pictures of you on the second floor of his house. Haha, your clothes are so beautiful now that you will see the newspaper, everyone's eyes will fall out."

Yan Wanru smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that exaggerated. I'm not a person in the entertainment industry."

"By the way." Jiang Yan laughed, picked up a piece of pickled radish strip and crunched it in her mouth, "When will the highlight of today start? I have been keeping a third-parted belly and waiting to eat the cake." She drank a lot of Wuliangye, and her neck and face were slightly red.

Zou Yue'e looked at me and clapped her hands and said, "Okay, put on cakes and light candles."

"I'll go back to the house." Xi Mansha, Yan Wanru and others stood up and turned around and entered the villa.

I wondered, "What are you doing?"

Yuan Yazhen said: "Give you a gift, you are ready."

I yelled: "I said you don't have to give me anything. Look at you, why are you so troublesome?" Seeing that the few people were leaving, I had to clean out an empty table by myself, put the cake on, put twenty-five candles on it, and ignite it with a lighter that had been prepared long ago.

After doing all this, Zou Yue'e and others also walked out one after another, some holding boxes, and some holding boxes.

"What's wrong? Haha, who will send it first?" Aunt Zou and his friends looked at each other.

After pushing and pushing, Fei Xiaohong volunteered, "I won't come." She handed me the box wrapped tightly in her hand. The colored paper on the box was a colorful big flower, very Fei Xiaohong's style. She opened her mouth and finally coughed: "That. I can have all the assets today, I will lose all of you. I, I won't say anything, and I haven't said anything thanks to you. Let's say it together today, well, cough cough." Fei Xiaohong may rarely be so serious, and her face turned slightly red, "That, thank you."

I touched the box with a funny look, "You're welcome."

After a moment of seriousness, Sister Hong returned to her former appearance and smiled and said, "Open it and see, this is a waste of my power. It's hard work... not right... It was found after a lot of hardships. I'll definitely like it!" She was still like that, and even a idiom was not clear.

I curiously opened the wrapping paper and opened the box. I immediately saw a bright red square neck suddenly looming in front of me.

Chicken Bloodstone Seal? No, this color and stone are Shoushan Stone, and the Hongshoushan Stone Seal!

I was surprised, "So beautiful, thank you."

Fei Xiaohong said: "Hehe, I just said you will definitely like it?"

Actually, I don’t like this seal. My family just runs a seal shop. I haven’t seen anything before? Besides, I don’t lack this little money. What I like is Fei Xiaohong’s intention. Such a good Hongshoushan stone seal is of high value. It can make Sister Hong, a wealthy slave who treats wealth as life, take out such a large sum of money to give me gifts. It can already explain some problems from another aspect. Yes, well, good to Sister Hong in the future.

"Who is next?" Zou Yue'e seemed determined to give me the last one.

Yuan Yazhen refused to let go and said, "I'll do it." He handed me a large flat bag with an English sign on it.

When I opened it, I found that it was a suit with very delicate fabrics and felt many times stronger than my suits.

Yuan Yazhen said lightly: "I asked someone to customize it with Italian original manufacturer, not the kind that is customized in China. If you try it back, the size should be appropriate."

I smiled and said, "Thank you sister, I thought about missing a suit that day, which is really good." I just put on clothes like this, and I guess I can't get it without more than 100,000 yuan, and it's probably going to get 200,000 yuan or even higher. I was sweating and I was dizzy when I thought about it. Even after I got rich, I had never worn such expensive clothes.

Yuan Yazhen, "Just like it."

"It's more than just like it, I like it so much." I carefully put away my suit.

Zou Yue'e smiled and said, "Who should be next?"

Yan Wanru blinked her eyes and took a step forward. She smiled and gave me a high-end watch with a limited number of Blancpain blan-anniversaire, "I thought it was very beautiful and suitable for you, and I took it without thinking about it. Haha, do you like it?" Such a watch would probably cost more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan.

I nodded vigorously: "Of course I like it. It's time for me to change my watch, thank you sister."

"I'll put it on for you." Yan Wanru lifted my sleeves and put the watch on my wrist.

I shook my arms and looked in the sun, hey, don’t say, you get what you pay for. These hundreds of thousands of things are better than domestic watches that cost hundreds of yuan. OK, I will wear them in the future.

Zou Yue'e smiled and said, "Who will give me next? Haha, I can't take this gift, so I'll give it the last one."

Ximansha mustered up the courage to bite her lip, "Then, I'll do it." She slowly took out a bound messy book from her bag. The pages were uneven, as if they were just the kind of paper made from the printer and sewed it with thread. However, such a shameless gift shocked all of us in the room. Ximansha stuttered, "This is... it's... it's the book I wrote."

I exclaimed: "Book? Are you writing books?"

Jiang Yan was also shocked and said something: "I kao, auntie, you hide deeply enough? Why don't I know?"

Yan Wanru said in a daze: "Are you a writer?"

Xi Mansha's face turned red and she waved her hand quickly, "No, no, I was writing it myself and I haven't contacted the publishing house yet, and I don't know if I can publish it. Well, anyway, I want to show it to Xiaojing first. Can this... be considered a gift? Can it?"

I quickly took the book into my hand and flipped it over, "Of course it's the best gift, thank you."

Jiang Yan shouted and came over, "I'll watch too! I'll watch too!"

"No!" Xi Mansha's face turned red with anxiety, and quickly grabbed Yanyan, "Don't look, don't read, it's not well written."

"Haha, my aunt is shy."

Zou Yue'e smiled and said curiously: "What is the story telling? It is about love? It is about workplace? Or something else?"

"It's... it's love." Xi Mansha said with a sad face: "Xiao Jing, don't read it here. I'll read it tonight. The teacher's writing is really bad."

I knew she was thin-skinned, so I happily put the book in, "Okay, I won't do anything else these two days, focus on your book."

Xi Mansha nodded and quickly pulled her niece, "Yanyan, it's your turn to give it to you."
