Just as Gu Xingping was about to open her mouth to call someone, she saw her third brother turning around and walking towards another store.
"It's strange, my third brother is not in the company at this time, how come he has time to go shopping?"
Ding Chen pushed up his glasses: "Maybe Third Brother wants to buy something."
"You're stupid, you didn't see that it was a pastry shop. Come on, let's go and have a look." Gu Xingping pulled the person and started to rush to the opposite side.
"Wait a minute, let me find a place to park the car first."
Gu Xingping kept staring at the door of the pastry shop, waving her hand towards Ding Chen and urging: "Hurry up."
Ding Chen quickly parked the car and the two of them walked towards the pastry shop together.
Before waiting for the door, Gu Xingping saw Gu Xingdong standing at the counter. He was tall and straight, and he looked particularly eye-catching in the small pastry shop.
She looked up at the name of the store. This pastry shop is quite famous. It is a specialty store owned by the Provincial City Food Company. I heard that there is also a decorated cake in it. It is made of cream and can only be made by a master chef.
However, Gu Xingping never buys anything here. A pound of pastry here is much more expensive than outside. She feels that the same thing is just placed in different places, so it is not worthwhile to spend more money.
Standing at the counter was a salesperson wearing a red and white store uniform. Although he looked ordinary, he was distinguished by his fair skin and standard eight teeth. His eyes fell on Gu Xingdong as if they were hooked.
Gu Xingping suddenly changed her mind and took Ding Chen to hide behind the door.
Ding Chen was confused: "Third brother is inside, why don't we go in and say hello?"
Gu Xingping frowned, made a low-pitched gesture, and then lowered her voice and said: "Don't you think something is wrong? How long has it been since my third brother went in? Logically speaking, he should have finished buying whatever he wants to buy, right? Look at that woman,
The face is painted like a paper man in a paper shop, and that smile makes me look so cautious."
Ding Chen: "..." No one has noticed it, but what you described is quite scary.
"Third brother is not that kind of person. They may have just known each other for a few words."
Gu Xingping turned back and glared at him: "In the past, when my third brother saw other women, he wanted to walk around. Three words were plastered all over his body, please leave me alone. Look, he actually smiled at that woman. I'm sure
There is a problem."
Ding Chen: "It's not as serious as you said, right? I don't see anything wrong with the third brother."
Gu Xingping: "He is my third brother, a brother and sister who have been together for more than 20 years. I don't know him better than you do? Humph, men do become bad when they are rich."
In the store, Gu Xingdong frowned when he felt the clerk's vague gaze, but still smiled politely and asked, "How long will it take to pick it up?"
"Sir, for the decorated cake you requested, we need to communicate with the master chef in advance and prepare the materials. If you order it today, it will be picked up tomorrow at the earliest."
Looking at the man's resolute face, the woman's heart beat faster unconsciously.
She is a regular employee of the cake shop. She can enter the company and be assigned to work at the counter. She is selected and trained before taking up the position. Moreover, she looks good, and there are many men pursuing her.
But there was nothing that caught her eye.
No, the person in front of me is very good.
"Sir, in addition to being decorated with flowers, our cakes can also be written on. I wonder whose birthday you are planning to celebrate?" The woman tried to make her voice sweeter.
Gu Xingdong's eyes flashed tenderly: "Give it to my lover."
The smile on the clerk's face became stiff.
"Why don't we go in? The sun is so poisonous. Besides, it's useless for you to stand here and guess. You'll know after asking." Ding Chen raised his head and looked at the scorching sun above his head. He really couldn't stand what Gu Xingping was doing.
understand.
"What do you know? If I ask him face to face, he will definitely not admit it. I... Oops!"
Gu Xingping was talking when someone suddenly knocked her on the top of her head. She turned around angrily and saw Gu Xingdong standing behind her.
"Three, third brother."
Gu Xingdong raised his eyebrows slightly: "What are you doing sneaking around here?"
When he came out of the department store, he saw the two people across the street. Firstly, he was in a hurry to do something, and secondly, he didn't want to disturb the two of them. Who knew that he was talking to the clerk, so the two of them followed him.
Gu Xingping quickly shook her head: "No, it's nothing."
Ding Chen pushed up his glasses: "Third brother, what are you doing in the cake shop?"
"Buy a cake." Gu Xingdong said, his eyes falling on Gu Xingping: "Your third sister-in-law has her birthday tomorrow. You two can come to your house for dinner together after get off work."
"Third sister-in-law's birthday is tomorrow?" Gu Xingping thought about it carefully, Chen Lishu's birthday was not tomorrow, and she almost forgot about it.
When she thought that Gu Xingdong ordered a cake for Chen Lishu, Gu Xingping felt guilty and dared not look directly into her third brother's eyes.
"What about that, third brother, we will definitely go there tomorrow. Ding Chen and I have something to do, so let's leave first." Gu Xingping said, holding Ding Chen's hand and walking towards the department store.
Looking at the little sister's back, Gu Xingdong shook his head helplessly. He was in his twenties and still had a frivolous temper.
Knowing that it was Chen Lishu's birthday tomorrow, Gu Xingping was no longer in a hurry to buy mosquito nets, and together with Ding Chen, she started picking up gifts for Chen Lishu.
Chen Lishu has been busy with things in the factory during this time and has long forgotten about her birthday.
It wasn't until the next morning when I saw the noodles and eggs that Li Xiulan cooked for herself that I suddenly remembered.
Li Xiulan picked up the eggs on the table and symbolically rolled them around Chen Lishu. She also muttered: "Roll out, and all bad luck will go away."
"Thank you, Mom." Although I didn't celebrate my birthday deliberately, someone remembered it and my heart was still warm.
"I will be back early today." Gu Xingdong turned to look at Li Xiulan: "Mom, I met Xingping and Ding Chen yesterday, and I mentioned them by the way. They should come over in the evening. You should cook more."
As a result, in the afternoon, not only Gu Xingping and Ding Chen came over, but Chen Liyuan and Lin Qi also came over.
"Sister, these are the cosmetics I asked Lin Qi to bring back from the south." Chen Liyuan leaned close to Chen Lishu and whispered in Chen Lishu's ear: "I heard it was broadcast on TV."
Chen Lishu took it with a smile.
"Third sister-in-law, I gave this to you." Gu Xingping handed a silver bracelet she picked to Chen Lishu.
She owns a clothing store. Gu Xingping and Ding Chen looked around for a long time before finally deciding to give this as a gift.
"Thank you, little sister."
"You all go wash your hands. I still have one dish left and we'll start dinner." Li Xiulan's voice came from the kitchen, and everyone moved the table and stools very consciously.
The birthday cake bought by Gu Xingdong is placed in the middle.
He took out a lighter and lit the candle above, and then everyone began to urge Chen Lishu to make a wish.
When the two little guys sitting in the children's chairs saw the flames on the candles, their eyes suddenly widened with curiosity.
Chen Lishu clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and made a wish, then bent down and blew out all the candles in one breath.
"Third sister-in-law, what wish did you make?" Gu Xingping asked curiously.
