Courtyard House: Report enemy agents at the start, and you'll take off immediately.

She handed the bracelet to her son and gave him many instructions.

Finally, Yan Bugui said earnestly:

"Your dad may not be as capable as Lao Liu, and his salary is not as high as his."

"But when it comes to your major life events, I can confidently guarantee that I'll put in even more effort and dedication than he did."

"dad!"

Yan Jiecheng was deeply moved, and the grievances in his heart instantly vanished.

"Don't cry, or people will laugh at you when you get home."

"Go, you absolutely have to win that girl's heart."

However, Yan Bugui thought to himself, what if he couldn't win her over?

This debt will be yours to pay.

You'll have to repay it with your future salary.

At that moment, someone came to Sha Zhu's room to inform him.

Rainwater volunteered to pick up the goods.

She ran out the door with a happy expression on her face.

Yes, my new clothes have arrived!

A woman's bicycle and a radio also arrived at the same time.

Zhao De originally planned to give gifts during the meal.

At that time, everyone would take out the large gifts they had bought.

Back and forth, showcasing their skills in turn, the final winner will stand proudly above the rest!

To this end, Zhao De also specially prepared the "three no's" principle to prevent anyone from causing trouble afterward.

That is: irresponsible, passive, and unwilling to refuse.

However, when it was time to eat, no one made a sound.

This made Zhao De wonder if they had actually bought the gift.

It wasn't until He Yushui secretly told him that the new cotton-padded coat had arrived.

Tell him to remember to have Brother Zhao pass it on to her the next day.

After all, the next day was Saturday.

He Yushui didn't need to ask for leave; she just had classes to attend in the morning.

Zhao De told her not to worry, she could come back in the afternoon to pick up the new clothes.

"However, after you get the new clothes, you should go to the silk shop to have them altered to the size. Don't forget that."

Zhao De specifically reminded her to avoid arousing Sha Zhu's suspicion.

"Don't worry, Sister Qianqian!"

The atmosphere at the table was slightly awkward, and everyone kept their heads down as they ate.

The topic is rarely brought up.

Actually, everyone was planning to give gifts individually later.

Zhao De already understood what these people were thinking.

They probably planned to deliver the gifts privately to his room, one-on-one.

Instead of taking it out now, give it to someone in the room one-on-one.

If they get emotional, they might be able to benefit from it.

"Dad just got back."

Liu Guangfu sat down next to Liu Guangtian and said in a low voice.

Liu Guangtian felt a little strange.

"Why are you back so late today?"

"I heard it's because the workshop is missing Uncle Yi and Zhao De, and it's also the end of the year, so the workload has increased a bit."

Liu Guangfu continued:

"Then what should we do now?"

Liu Guangtian appeared relatively calm.

"Don't rush, let's wait and see him give out the gift, and then we'll find an opportunity to subtly tell him!"

"If Dad goes to cause trouble for Sister Qianqian then..."

"Remember, we must stand on Sister Qianqian's side and we absolutely cannot let him take the gift back."

"Only then will he truly get angry and take action!"

"Otherwise, what if the gift is taken back?"

"My older brother was just pretending to be hit by Dad a couple of times."

"That would mean all our efforts were in vain, and we would have wasted such a good opportunity."

Liu Guangfu began to admire his second brother; this strategy was truly brilliant!

After the meal, all the food on the table was eaten clean.

After all, everyone had worked hard all afternoon.

However, all those eggs, meat, and high-quality ingredients ended up in Zhao De's stomach.

He didn't actually want to eat it, but they insisted on giving it to him.

"Silly Zhu, let us do the dishes!"

Zhao De didn't say this to maintain his image.

Rather, he had become deeply immersed in the role.

"Qianqian, you must be very tired today. Go home and rest early. Let Yushui clean up these dishes."

Shazhu treated his sister like a servant.

But there's nothing wrong with that, at least He Yushui doesn't have any objections.

They also urged Zhao De to go home and rest.

Zhao De knew they were already eager to start giving gifts.

So he didn't insist too much and left after expressing his gratitude several times.

After he left, Sha Zhu immediately put on a big boss demeanor, raised his aura, and scanned the entire room with his eyes.

"Everyone, let's discuss who should go first and who should go second?"

It turned out that the group had already privately discussed and agreed on the order.

Liu Guangqi spoke first:

"The gift I bought first, of course I'll give it to first."

Yan Jiecheng then said:

"I was the first to meet Qianqian, so I should deliver it first."

Xu Damao, however, appeared quite composed, waiting two seconds after the first two people finished speaking before speaking himself:

"Since you two are arguing about first and second place, I'll just rank myself third. Sha Zhu can just be after me."

Sha Zhu was not satisfied with this.

"Xu Damao, why should I stand behind you in line?"

"Tell me what you bought today?"

"It's just that I took a little more stuff at lunchtime!"

"You still say it's not much?"

Xu Damao retorted.

"The stuff I brought over at noon must be worth at least a hundred yuan, right? And that doesn't even include the tickets!"

And so, the four of them split into two factions and started arguing.

Yan Jiecheng faces off against Liu Guangqi, while Sha Zhu confronts Xu Damao.

When He Yushui finished washing the dishes and came out, she found the four of them still arguing.

They were already red-faced and about to start a fight.

She quickly stopped them and came up with an idea.

"How about we decide by drawing lots?"

"Draw lots?"
