Chapter 261 - 261 Birthday Gift
261 Birthday Gift
Yu Bing didn’t care about the method, as long as there were no rats. “That’s good. Actually, I’m also worried that the cat would be naughty and tear the packaging of the food. At that time, we’ll have more trouble. Since the rat poison is useful, buy more of it.”
Jiang Chun nodded with an awkward expression. However, Yu Bing was unpacking the gifts she had brought back this time and didn’t notice. These gifts had been bought when she brought the two little fellows shopping two afternoons ago.
Yu Bing took out a dress from the bottom of the bag and looked at Jiang Chun expectantly as she said, “Chun Chun, I bought you a dress!”
The upper body of the dress was a beige medium-sleeved flounced shirt. The lower body was a rusty red A-line umbrella dress that reached her calves. It looked elegant and youthful.
Jiang Chun’s face was a little chubby, but she wasn’t fat. This outfit could make her look more mature.
The first thing Jiang Chun saw was the price. She didn’t even have to touch the material. Just by looking at it, she knew that it wasn’t cheap! “Why did you spend so much money? I don’t want it. Keep it for yourself.”
After Yu Bing folded the dress and placed it on Jiang Chun’s bed, she said with a smile, “I can’t wear the dress. I’m 166 centimeters tall now. I bought the dress for you. If you don’t wear the dress, I’ll give the dress away. Besides, have you forgotten what day it is today?”
This dress cost at least 20 to 30 yuan. How could Jiang Chun bear to give the dress away?
As she looked at Yu Bing’s smug smile, she felt very helpless. Ever since Yu Bing arrived in the countryside, she had grown from 155 centimeters to 166 centimeters, but after she grew to 160 centimeters, she had stopped growing.
Jiang Chun thought about how it really didn’t fit Yu Bing, so she didn’t refuse anymore.
This was the first new dress Jiang Chun had ever owned. Most of her clothes were old clothes that her neighbor’s sister or her relatives didn’t want.
After Jiang Chun carefully put the dress into the cabinet, she thought about making a dress for Yu Bing on her birthday next month.
Hearing Yu Bing’s question, Jiang Chun thought about it seriously. In the end, she only remembered that she had to prepare all the goods from City H’s supply and marketing club before she got off work today, since she didn’t want to delay the delivery tomorrow morning. She asked Yu Bing, “What day is it today?”
Yu Bing shook her head helplessly. “Your birthday!”
Jiang Chun slapped her forehead gently. “I forgot! But there’s nothing to celebrate. Turning nineteen isn’t that special.”
Yu Bing placed all the gifts and specialties on the table and started to distribute them. “We’re rich now, so we can’t mistreat ourselves on our birthdays! Last year, we just arrived and were poor, so we could only eat an egg to celebrate our birthdays. We can’t be so sloppy this year. I’ll bake you a cake. Let’s have a good celebration today.”
When Jiang Chun heard this, she placed her head on Yu Bing’s shoulder and asked with emotion, “Yu Bing, why are you so good to me?”
Yu Bing’s hand that was holding the gifts paused as she secretly thought to herself, “Of course, it’s because you treat me better.”
Everyone felt that Yu Bing was impressive and that Jiang Chun had always been basking in Yu Bing’s glory. Only Yu Bing knew that in her past life and this life, Jiang Chun’s kindness towards her had never changed. It was like a drizzle in spring. This kind of concern and care had always been silent, so it was easy to overlook.
Yu Bing smiled and said, “When I’m busy, you do all the work at home. The two of us don’t have to be so formal.”
When Jiang Chun heard the last half of the sentence, she felt that it made sense. She decided that she had to do more work and take good care of the house so that Yu Bing could focus on doing big things.
With Jiang Chun’s help, after spending an entire afternoon, Yu Bing finally finished dividing the things.
Xiao Li and Xiao Lin’s toys were given to them after dinner. The remaining frog toy, three lipsticks, two bottles of wine, and a few boxes of snacks of different flavors were gifts for the Song family.
She also prepared the same amount for Wang Yun’s family. Because the Wang family’s father and son didn’t drink, Yu Bing bought two famous Hero Brand fountain pens from S City.
The remaining snacks were for leaders and old colleagues from the Planning Bureau, as well as Village Chief Mr. Wu, Auntie Zhao, and the others who were on good terms with her.
At night, Yu Bing baked a cake and cooked some dishes. Jiang Chun had had the most extravagant birthday of her life, so she invited Yu Bing to watch a movie together on her day off.
