Love Apartment: Female tenants, please calm down

Chapter 179 178. Everything is left unsaid

In two days, Zhang Wei will have his birthday.

Li Su, Lin Wanyu, and Hu Yifei were talking about giving birthday gifts.

Hu Yifei's gift has been confirmed, a Casio G-SHOCK series watch. This is also to express apology to Zhang Wei for Xiaoli's incident.

Speaking of giving birthday gifts, there are still some tricks that can be explained in detail.

The group of people on the sixth floor of the love apartment are neighbors and friends. There are now ten people living on the sixth floor. Plus Lu Zhanbo and his girlfriend Reiko Uehara who live downstairs, there are twelve birthdays that year. , eleven gifts are to be given out.

A slightly more generous offer would be hard for working-class people like Zhang Wei and others to hold on to.

Like Qin Yumo, Guan Gu, and Amy, they were quite generous before - Guan Gu was a cartoonist who had serialized comics in comic magazines. In 09, his monthly royalties were 50 yen. , which is equivalent to a monthly salary of 4 in Xia national currency.

But Zhang Wei and Xinling are different. Because of their financial strength or frugal character, they are not so generous.

If Guangu and the others give Zhang Wei and the others a super expensive birthday gift, then Guangu and the others are not allowed to give it back next time it’s their birthday? But it was too expensive to send, and it was really painful.

All in all, this is a problem that needs to be grasped when giving gifts between {poor friends and rich friends}.

In fact, everyone is aware of this problem, but no one can bring it to light. Those who are short of money dare not say it for fear of losing face; those who are rich do not dare to say it, for fear of being regarded as showing off.

In the end, Li Su was not so pretentious. He showed his cards directly and told everyone not to send expensive gifts to him in the future, because he would not give expensive gifts to everyone in return.

Li Su likes to give books as birthday gifts. For men, he would give Chicken Soup for the Soul and Success Studies; for women, he would give romance novels.

Li Su opened up the matter and said that Zhang Wei and the others actually wanted to thank him. After all, they were not as rich as Guangu Amy and the others.

In this way, everyone in the apartment has formed a tacit understanding, or an unspoken rule. As long as it is not the tenth birthday, any birthday gift can be fooled, as long as there is a cake.

Zeng Xiaoxian especially likes to give cups to others. He once gave Yu Mo a cup that looked like an ashtray;

I once gave Hu Yifei a "cup" with a hole in the bottom, but it was not a cup at all! When Zeng Xiaoxian was shopping online, he didn’t even look clearly to see if there was a hole in the bottom of someone’s cup!

In the end, Hu Yifei took the cup and planted a potted plant. She also named the green plant [Abo]. This was because she wanted to rub Lu Zhanbo's luck. After all, Lu Zhanbo had been fed by Hu Yifei since he was a child. Woolen cloth.

Lu Zhanbo has protested countless times over this matter, but the protests were all ineffective. Lu Zhanbo was helpless and furious.

Hu Yifei also wanted to slap Li Su in the face. Who knew that Li Su often laughed at her as the "extreme master wife"?

Yes, those potatoes that Hu Yifei buried in the planting box did not sprout. God knows why they did not sprout. Obviously potatoes are cheap and easy to feed. Ms. Hu was incompetent and furious.

Incompetent and furious siblings.

At first, everyone thought that Zeng Xiaoxian’s gift of a cup meant the cup of everyone’s life (tragedy), but that was not the case. The meaning of Zeng Xiaoxian’s gift of a cup was – good friends for life (cup).

Lu Ziqiao likes to give people shampoo or shower gel, wishing everyone to change their minds and be a new person. No, it’s not, it’s to wish everyone to wash away their beauty and become beautiful;

Hu Yifei likes to give people mouthwash.

They are all very practical gadgets, and they are all within everyone's financial affordability, so everyone is happy.

……

The time has come for Zhang Wei’s birthday.

Zhang Wei went to the library to look up information because of a paper on property law.

In the evening, everyone set up the birthday scene in 3603 and planned to hold a birthday party for Zhang Wei.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Qin Yumo, who was responsible for letting the wind out on the balcony, came in and said, "Zhang Wei is coming upstairs, hide quickly!"

A group of people found a place to hide, behind the curtains, behind the TV, behind the sofa... just waiting for Zhang Wei to open the door and come in, and then give him a "Saples"!

However, the door handle of the suite door only moved but was not opened.

Everyone looked puzzled.

Everyone sent Li Su and Yifei to check the situation outside.

When they came outside the door, Li and Su saw Zhang Wei sitting on the ground against the wall, looking quite weak.

"Brother Su, please help me, I can't turn the handle." Zhang Wei said.

Hu Yifei said in surprise: "Are you drunk? Someone has already celebrated your birthday outside?"

"No." Zhang Wei shook his head.

"That's what all drunks say, how much did you drink, white or yellow?"

Zhang Wei thought for a while: "The red one, the doctor said, the maximum donation is 400 cc."

This is the tradition of Zhang Wei and his orphanage. Every birthday they do something to repay the society, which is quite meaningful.

"You went to donate blood, are you okay?"

Li Su pulled Zhang Wei up.

"Oh, the doctor said my blood sugar is a little low and I can't be stimulated. We'll talk about it after I get in."

Li Su spoilers: "Um~ Wait a minute, Zhang Wei, we have prepared a birthday party for you. Yifei proposed it and it is inside. I want to give you a surprise, but who knows that you can't stand the excitement now."

Hu Yifei caught up with the conversation: "But when you go in later, you still have to act surprised, otherwise everyone will be disappointed."

Zhang Wei nodded and said with a smile: "Okay."

Li Su and Zhang Wei entered the apartment surrounded by them.

Turning on the lights, Qin Yumo and others jumped out: "Surprise!"

"Ah!~~" Zhang Wei's performance was exaggerated and artificial.

The scene was awkward.

Zeng Xiaoxian said with a dead eye: "I would say the effect is average."

However, at this moment, Lu Ziqiao, wearing an Ultraman monster costume, jumped out: "Ho~"

Lu Ziqiao's Ultraman monster costume was borrowed from the crew through his aunt Tang Youyou's relationship. After all, it is known that Lu Ziqiao's social skills are full of points.

By the way, Lu Ziqiao has become obsessed with some gadgets since she was squeezed out by Amy, such as fishing, playing with walnuts, monster costumes... and entering middle age early.

Li Su didn't even have time to stop him.

"Ah!" Zhang Wei's scream sounded more sincere now. He fainted.

"Zhang Wei Zhang Wei!"

Everyone was in a panic.

Fortunately, Zhang Wei is an invincible Xiaoqiang.

After a while, he woke up.

Everyone gathered around Zhang Wei.

"Zhang Wei, drink a cup of hot milk and take it easy." Qin Yumo brought a cup of hot milk over.

"On your birthday, you should do something good to repay the society. There are many ways. Donate money and materials. Why do you have to donate blood?" Lu Ziqiao complained.

"Compared with donating money and materials, I guess Zhang Wei would rather donate blood."

After all, Zhang Wei is definitely stingy where he should be.

Wait until Zhang Wei calms down a little.

Xinling smiled and said: "Stop talking, stop talking, save some face for the birthday girl, let's blow out the candles together."

Yu Mo also said: "Birthday boy, before you blow out the candles, please make a wish."

Zhang Wei smiled and said: "This year, I made a wish list. First, I want to save enough for a down payment to buy a house. Second, I want to marry a woman. Third, I want to persuade her to join me. Pay off the mortgage, fourth..."

Zhang Wei, a greedy guy, is he making wishes or wholesale wishes?

"Phew~Happy birthday!"

Everyone blew out the candles directly for Zhang Wei.

“Eat your cake and eat your cake!”

The cake is a twelve-inch cake made by Xinling, who used to be a pastry chef.

In the gift-giving aspect, Hu Yifei gave something more expensive, a watch.

Except for Lu Ziqiao, all the other boys in the apartment have a mechanical watch from the Casio G-SHOCK series. The colors are different, and they look like tokens from the "Apartment Men's Gang".

Lu Ziqiao decided to buy one tomorrow. He couldn't be unsocial.

Finally, Li Su used his newly purchased Leica camera and time-lapse photography to take a group photo of everyone.

In the photo, the residents on the sixth floor of the apartment, plus Zhanbo and his girlfriend Reiko Uehara downstairs, are smiling brightly.

……

After eating the cake in the apartment, everyone went to the Lonely Corner Bar to drink.

Late at night, everything is silent.

Li Su and Zhang Wei came back from a walk together, just the two of them.

On a spring night, there is a cool breeze and white mist.

Zhang Wei sat on a bench under the street lamp to sober up.

He wasn't drunk at all. He just drank some fruit wine tonight. After all, he donated blood and no one was trying to trick him.

After the commotion, Zhang Wei suddenly let out a long breath, feeling inexplicably lonely.

Li Su took something out of his pocket, held it in his hand, and then raised his fist in front of Zhang Wei, "Here."

"What is this?"

"birthday present."

"Birthday gift? Brother Su, didn't you already give it to me? Are you drunk?"

Successful learning books,

"Inamori Kazuo's Advice to Young People".

Li Su smiled and shook his head, and then he stopped showing off and picked up a horse jade pendant hanging on a red rope.

The materials and workmanship of this pendant are all high-end.

The horse was so majestic and high-spirited, lifelike, as if it would turn into a celestial horse in the next moment, its hooves beating like thunder, galloping up to the sky.

This pendant, especially the workmanship, is particularly impressive and extraordinary.

The lv5 level manual skills are naturally amazing to the world.

No matter how discerning Zhang Wei is, he still knows the value of this pendant, "Brother Su, you must be drunk. I don't want this. Please keep it well and don't lose it."

"I'm not drunk, this is your birthday gift." Li Su grabbed Zhang Wei's hand and patted the pendant into Zhang Wei's hand.

"This...this is too valuable, I can't accept it."

"Don't you recognize Yifei and I as brothers? This is a meeting gift from my brother. I give it to you. I wish you a smooth life and immediate success."

Among all the people in the apartment, Li Su only admires Zhang Wei. He comes from a humble background, but he does not complain about others; he has a rough life, but he is still optimistic and high-spirited; on his birthday, he even donates blood to repay the society. He is the most classy person in the love apartment. Li Su admires him sincerely.

Li Su's vision is not wrong, Zhang Wei will definitely succeed in the future, although there is a high probability that he will be a late bloomer.

Therefore, what is a mere dead jade object worth?

The reason why I chose this time and place to give it is of course because Li Su is not a monster without emotional intelligence. Like at the birthday party just now, if Li Su gave such a precious jade pendant, it would make others feel embarrassed.

"Brother Su, thank you."

Zhang Wei choked up a little, and hugged Li Su with a bear hug, saying everything without saying a word.

Spring, late at night, on the bench, two men hugging each other.

Li Su shook his head and laughed.
