Chapter 405 The Neighbor's Gossip

When we returned home at noon, Lao Zhou and my mother were on holiday, and they were all at home, and lunch had been prepared for us. It seemed that we were just right when we came back, and we were at meal time again.

After returning home, Ning Bingrou and I put all the New Year’s goods back from the shopping mall in City A on the table.

I smiled at Lao Zhou and his mother in the direction of the dining room and said, "Lao Zhou, mom, you don't have to buy New Year's goods this year. Bingrou and I have bought them in City A and brought them back."

Ning Bingrou took out the clothes I bought for the two old people, walked to the dining room and said, "Yes, uncle and aunt, look, Dongli also bought you New Year's clothes, and this one..."

She took out two boxes from another shopping bag and put them on the dining table, and then said: "These two smart watches can monitor the body's condition after putting on them, such as heart rate, breathing, sleep, etc., which are quite useful. Connect your phone to see more detailed data at any time. In this regard, there are special doctors to evaluate and analyze the body's data and give relevant suggestions."

I looked at the two smart watches in Ning Bingrou's hand in surprise. What a guy, when did she buy this thing?! In short, I just haven't bought it.

In addition, when Ning Bingrou spoke, she did not say that it was a gift she gave to Lao Zhou and her mother. If she followed her words, the meaning would be all the gifts I gave.

My mother was already very happy when she looked at the same gift, but she still said in a distressed tone: "Oh, why have you bought so many things? It's too wasteful!"

Immediately afterwards, my mother looked at me and said with a little reproachful tone: "Dongli, why don't you stop Xiao Ning?"

I was helpless and funny, and said with a smile: "Mom~I..."

Before I could say it, Ning Bingrou took the lead and answered it: "Auntie, the new year is new, why do you say the word "spend"? This is what you should do. Please accept it with your uncle!"

Lao Zhou looked at his mother and said, "Okay, it's all the children's wishes. Just accept it with peace of mind. Go wash your hands and have a meal. It's cold, don't let the food get cold later, so it won't be delicious."

After dinner, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon, and I woke up very early this morning, so Ning Bingrou and I went up to the room to prepare for a nap.

I lay on the bed, turned to look at Ning Bingrou, who was still packing her suitcase and clothes at this time, and asked, "Bingrou, why don't you say it? Those two smart watches are gifts you gave to my parents? Isn't this the same way that you just attributed the 'credit' to me?"

Ning Bingrou took out a few pieces of clothes and hung them on the hanger in the cabinet next to her, smiled and said, "Look at what you said, who bought it or gave it to you, what's the matter? Aren't we all a family in the future? Don't you always care about these things."

"But I still think it shouldn't be. This is not a matter of concern. You bought it for my parents. That's what you want. Besides, when did you secretly buy those two smartwatches? When I went to the mall to buy something yesterday, I didn't see you buying it? I wanted to buy it before, but later I forgot about it."

"I won't tell you."

"Oh, just tell me what you said."

Ning Bingrou couldn't tell me, and she sat down on the edge of the bed and explained: "Didn't you say it all just now? You wanted to buy a smartwatch before, but later I forgot about it. Once I accidentally saw that there was a product information of the smartwatch on your computer. You never wear this type of watch, so I guess you wanted to buy it and give it to your parents, so I'll place an order in advance."

I quickly recalled it in my mind, and it seemed that it was really the case. Then I nodded suddenly and said, "Oh! I understand, so that's it..."

I have to admire that Ning Bingrou's observation is really meticulous. What is "love"? In fact, it is not so exciting, but you can always understand and understand what you think, and then do something for you quietly.

Those unintentional efforts behind the scenes are the most worthy of cherishing and touching!

...

Two days after returning to my hometown, in the evening that day, after dinner, the whole family sat in the yard and rested.

It was early for dinner today, and it was only around five o'clock. My mother was holding her cell phone and chatting with her old classmates in a voice, while Old Zhou was watering the flowers. Ning Bingrou was like a curious "little cat", tiptoing to observe the budding magnolia flowers, and from time to time, she took out her cell phone and selected angles to shoot.

This happy scene made me feel a sense of warmth. We left our hometown and went to other cities to work hard in order to be able to return to our familiar hometown with "confidence" one day and slowly spend time with our family?

In this leisurely and contented environment, I don’t have so much pressure or concern in my heart. No matter how long I stay, I will never feel the anxiety of sitting and eating the whole country when I was clean and honest.

While I was immersed in this warm scene, two aunts passing by at the door of the house suddenly came. They were all neighbors in the room next to us. When I saw Ning Bingrou and I return to our hometown, I greeted us with a little surprised expression.

"Oh, Xiao Zhou is back with his girlfriend!"

I responded with a smile: "Yes, the Spring Festival is coming soon. I'm back to my hometown for the New Year. Aunt Wang and Aunt Li, have you had dinner?"

"Just going back to have a meal."

The two of them smiled at me, then looked at Ning Bingrou for a long time, and then continued to walk towards the path ahead. But at this time, I, who was sitting by the door, just heard the whispers between them.

Aunt Wang: "Oh, I really don't know where this kid Dongli has gained the blessing. He actually found such a beautiful girlfriend and was willing to come back to the old house to live with their family. And I heard that his girlfriend is also from the city A, and she has a very good family background!"

Aunt Li sighed and whispered: "This is what you don't understand the real situation. Don't you know that the Zhou family had bought a separate villa in a high-end property in our city two or three months ago? If it weren't for this, who would have been rich, would any girl's family be willing to go home with him for the New Year? And they are still from the city!"

It was Aunt Wang's turn to sigh and said in a sour tone: "Yes, with financial conditions as the basis, follow him back to live in the old house in his hometown, which is to experience life. After all, he will live in a big villa in the future. Hey, do you think... this kid Dongli has become so rich because of his girlfriend's help?"

"Shh! Sigh down, who knows this? Let's go, let's not be heard by them later."

If the two of them gossipers don't leave, I'm afraid I'll go out to "participate" in their chat. In a small city village, when you buy a chicken, someone may gossip with you. Is it because I'm a guest today or something? I suddenly want to kill the chicken.

However, if you are in City A, even if you are singing unpleasant songs loudly on the noisy street, few people will look back at you, let alone gossiping you.

Compared to these, I was even more worried. I wonder if Ning Bingrou heard the conversation between them just now. I looked at Ning Bingrou and found that the expression on her face was very calm at this time, and she was still immersed in the fragrance of flowers in the yard.
