Chapter 14 Small Gifts
On Saturday, Chu Fei went out early in the morning. No one knew what mysterious activities she was doing.
Jiang Xinyi and Xiao Nan took Wu Tongyu to the pedestrian street together. The three of them came to a jewelry house. Looking at the dazzling variety of goods, Wu Tongyu thought that he should buy a gift for Chu Molin as a thank you, but what kind of gift is suitable? She has no experience.
"Xinyi, what is the right thing to buy as a gift for boys?" Wu Tongyu asked.
"For boys? Who is it?" Jiang Xinyi asked curiously.
"To Chu~", Wu Tongyu looked at Xiao Nan beside him and hurriedly said, "Give it to a little brother in the orphanage."
"Does he have anything he particularly likes?" Jiang Xinyi asked.
"I don't know!"
"Does he have any favorite sports?"
"Do you like sports? Football?"
"Football? Look, there are a lot of keychains for football star dolls here. You can give him this. Which football star does he like?
"I don't know!"
"I have a way." Jiang Xinyi said to Wu Tongyu with a smile.
"Xiao Nan, let me ask you, which football star do you like?" Jiang Xinyi asked Xiao Nan.
"Me! I like Ronaldo and Beckham.
"Xiao Yu, let's buy Ronaldo and Beckham. I guess your brother will definitely like one of them." Jiang Xinyi said with a smile.
"Hmm! OK!" Wu Tongyu nodded happily.
Chu Molin had breakfast at home and came to the courtyard. Grandpa was practicing Tai Chi. What did he want to do today? He came to his car boredly and suddenly came up with an idea.
Wu Tongyu's mobile phone rang.
"Xinyi, Xiao Nan, I'll pick up a phone call outside."
"Okay!"
"Hey! Hello!" Wu Tongyu pressed the answer button and said politely.
"'Tu Lao Mao', I'm Chu Molin."
"Chu Molin? Are you looking for me?"
"My car needs to be cleaned now. Where are you? Come here now!"
"Now?"
"Uh-huh!"
"Where can I find you?"
"I'll send you the address later."
"Hmm! All right!"
Wu Tongyu hung up the phone. After saying goodbye to Xiao Nan and Jiang Xinyi, she came to the dormitory, took a full set of cleaning tools and the big bucket, and took the subway to the address sent by Chu Molin. After arriving at the destination, she couldn't help but be dumbfounded. She stood outside a luxurious black gate, surrounded by marble. When I came to the courtyard wall, I couldn't see the scene in the courtyard.
Wu Tongyu checked the address. Yes, it's here, but how do you get in?
Wu Tongyu dialed Chu Molin's phone. Soon, the door opened and a 40-year-old man walked out.
"Hello! Is it Wu Tongyu?"
"Hmm! Hello! I am!"
"I'm the housekeeper of 'Chuyuan'. My surname is Zhang. The young master told me to take you in. Please follow me."
"Young master? Is it Chu Molin?"
"Yes, it's our young master Chu, but I think you'd better not call our young master's name."
"Well?!"
Wu Tongyu carried a big bucket with cleaning tools full of doubts. After following the housekeeper Zhang into the courtyard, she was even more dumbfounded. A clean and wide asphalt road turned not far ahead, and two rows of cedar were neatly planted on both sides of the road. She followed the housekeeper Zhang around and continued to walk forward. What she saw was a luxury villa like a palace.
Wu Tongyu followed the housekeeper Zhang to Chu Molin, and saw the housekeeper Zhang report respectfully to Chu Molin: "Young master, someone has brought it."
"Hmm! Go ahead! Uncle Zhang!"
"Okay, young master."
Wu Tongyu looked at the housekeeper Zhang and asked in surprise, "Chu Molin, is this your home?"
"Hmm! Of course."
"It's no wonder that Housekeeper Zhang reminded himself to call Chu Molin a young master! It turns out that Chu Molin is really a rich young master. Wu Tongyu thought to himself.
Wu Tongyu followed Chu Molin to the place where he parked.
"You can get water over there, and now you can start your cleaning work."
"Well! OK!"
Wu Tongyu nodded and came to the place to receive water with a big bucket. He thought: Chu Molin is a rich young master, and he must not lack anything. Will he care about the football star doll keychain he bought?
With the experience of last time, Wu Tongyu cleaned quickly and cleanly this time, just a cup of tea. She completed the task perfectly, showed a sunny and innocent smile, and said to Chu Molin, "Chu Molin, after cleaning, you can check it!"
Chu Molin looked at Wu Tongyu with a bright smile. This was the first time he paid serious attention to her smile. The smile was pure and innocent like snow, and as healthy and energetic as sunshine. Chu Molin had never noticed that Wu Tongyu's smile was so wonderful. There was an indescable attraction that was different, and he couldn't help but look dumbfounded for a moment.
Seeing that Chu Molin did not answer, Wu Tongyu said loudly again with a smile, "Chu Molin, after cleaning, you can check it!"
Chu Molin came to his senses, walked to the side of the car, and turned around again and again, more carefully than the last inspection.
How's it going? The cleaning is not bad!" Wu Tongyu said with a smile.
"Hmm! Not bad! There is progress!" Chu Molin said with great satisfaction.
Wu Tongyu thought that the task had been completed, and it was time for him to go back. She touched the gift in her pocket to give to Chu Molin and hesitated to give it to him. She took out the gift several times and put it back.
Chu Molin looked at the motionless Wu Tongyu and knocked on her head.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Well~, Chu Molin, I~"
"Why are you suddenly hesitant?" Chu Molin asked puzzledly.
Wu Tongyu took out a gift for Chu Molin from his pocket.
"What is this?" Chu Molin asked.
"This is a gift for you."
"For me?"
"Hmm! Yes."
Chu Molin took two key chains from Wu Tongyu's hand and carefully appreciated them.
"How do you know that I like Ronaldo?"
"Really?" Wu Tongyu said in surprise.
"You don't want to give me a gift because I picked up your jade pendant and saved you!"
"Hmm! I really appreciate you in my heart."
"I'll take Ronaldo, and you can stay with Beckham."
"Hmm! OK!"
"But do you really like this gift?"
"I like it!"
Wu Tongyu was very happy, as if he had received a gift.
"Chu Molin, if there is nothing to do, I'll go back first."
"Go back? You~" Chu Molin stopped talking.
"What? You have something else to do!"
"Well, it's okay! It's okay! Go back!"
"Goodbye, Chu Molin!"
"Goodbye!"
Chu Molin looked at Wu Tongyu's back, took out the car key and hung it on the gift he had just received.
Wu Tongyu sat on the subway back to school. She saw two primary school-like children sitting opposite, chatting happily and carefree. She remembered the children on the "Concentric Club" website, the happy group photo of the children and senior Lin Ting, the happy and red little face. No matter where the child is, at the age of this flower season, there should be a happy and carefree smile on their faces every day. This is what every child deserves, and the smile on the children's faces should not disappear because of other factors.
Wu Tongyu took out his mobile phone and dialed Lin Ting's mobile phone number.
"Hello! Mr. Lin Ting, I'm Wu Tongyu.
"Hello! Wu Tongyu. What's the matter with me?"
"I decided to join the 'Concentric Society'."
"Oh? Have you thought about it?"
"Hmm! I have figured it out."
"Good! But I'm a little busy now. Let's meet at school at 5 p.m.! Let's talk about it in detail then.
"Hmm! OK, senior."
"Goodbye! Wu Tongyu."
"Goodbye! The senior."
After Wu Tongyu left, Chu Molin walked in the yard doing nothing.
"Baby, come here!" Chu Wenhai, Chu Molin's grandfather, said.
"What's the matter? Grandpa."
"Let's go to the company later."
"What are you doing in the company?"
"Today, there is a painting of Tang Bohu to be auctioned."
"Real? Grandpa, you don't want this painting too, do you?"
"Baby is so smart!"
"Just tell your father directly."
"Baby! When you meet your favorite items, the auction becomes a kind of fun. Enjoy the fun with Grandpa!" Chu Wenhai patted Chu Molin on the shoulder and laughed.
Wu Tongyu walked out of the subway and came to the bank. He took out 1,000 yuan from the 2,000 yuan savings and carefully put it in his pocket. She had a simple lunch in the school canteen and returned to the dormitory. Xiao Nan and Jiang Xinyi had not come back yet. She went to the balcony, set up the ede, and began to devote herself to the wonderful world of painting.
Only when painting, Wu Tongyu is the most relaxed. She enjoys every process of painting, and every painting is like a fantastic journey. For Wu Tongyu, this feeling can't be expressed in words, which is wonderful and magical. Wu Tongyu has an unmatched enthusiasm for painting.
After finishing a painting, Wu Tongyu stretched out and poured a glass of water. After taking a moment of rest, he took out one of the Complete Works of Shakespeare that Xiao sent to him and read it carefully.
Chu Molin drove Chu Wenhai to Huanyu International Auction Group Co., Ltd. Chu Wenhai did not tell Chu Guohua in advance that he was coming, because if he told him, it was estimated that the auction would not be carried out.
Chu Molin sat down with Chu Wenhai, and many people took the initiative to greet Chu Wenhai.
"Lao Chu, are you coming to inspect the work?"
"No! I'm the same as you."
"Haha! It seems that we don't have a chance."
"Ouch! You are so modest!" Chu Wenhai said with a big smile.
At the beginning of the auction, when he saw Tang Bohu's painting, Chu Wenhai couldn't suppress his excitement. After several rounds of fierce auctions, he finally pocketed his beloved.
When Chu Guohua learned that it was his father who could shoot Tang Bohu's painting, he couldn't help sighing that the old man really liked to join the fun. He found Chu Wenhai. Chu Wenhai was happily appreciating the patted love like a child who got candy.
"Dad, why are you here? If you like this painting, why don't you just tell me? As for such a big deal?" Chu Guohua complained.
"You don't understand, you don't understand!" Chu Wenhai waved his hands repeatedly and said.
"Son, why are you here?" Chu Guohua said when he saw Chu Molin, who had never come to the company.
"Dad, I came with Grandpa."
"Go! Go to my office."
Chu Wenhai and Chu Molin's grandfather and grandson came to Chu Guohua's office.
"Dad, is the company looking for a part-time job?" Chu Molin suddenly asked.
"Part-time?"
"What do you want to do?"
"Well, my classmate wants to do a part-time job, so I'll ask casually."
"How about the cleaner?"
"What? Dad, what are you kidding?"
"Ha ha! Is your classmate a boy or a girl?
"Well, girl."
"What's your relationship with her? Let's get it from the truth." Chu Guohua said with a smile.
"Dad, why do you think like this? We are just a simple classmate relationship.
"Ha ha!" Chu Guohua laughed.
"Okay! Son, since you have opened your mouth, I'll arrange it.
"How are you going to arrange it?" Chu Molin asked.
"Huh? Come to the company every Saturday and Sunday to be a data collation!"
"How much is the daily salary?"
"How about 300?"
"Hmm! Yes, yes!" Chu Molin nodded with satisfaction and thought that no more, no less, so that Wu Tongyu would not be too suspicious, and could also solve her living expenses and tuition problems.
"However, Dad, you can't let your mother know about this, and you can't let the girl know that it was deliberately arranged, and you and I can't let her know about my relationship."
"Son, don't worry! Seeing that you are so serious and cautious, I would like to see what kind of girl you are.
"Hey! I declare again that she and I are just pure classmates. Dad, don't get me wrong!"
"Ha ha! Give me your classmate's mobile phone number.
While chatting with Chu Molin and Chu Guohua, Chu Wenhai has been admiring the painting of Tang Bohu and keeps saying, "Good painting!" What a good painting!"
Chu Fei got up early in the morning and dressed up carefully. She came to a lively street. A group of people gathered in a circle and watched something.
