Xie Yingen saw Fu Wujin's surprised expression and knew he was startled. She laughed and said, "I was kidding you."

Fu Wujin indeed didn't expect her to say that, but when she said it was a joke, his heart felt a little down.

"My dad said yesterday that you were calm and confident, very different from before, which impressed him."

Fu Wujin was overjoyed. Yesterday, when he went back to the dean's office, the dean was still cold and indifferent. He really didn't dare to imagine that the dean would say such things about him.

"I know my father. He's a tough nut to crack, so if he praises you, that means a lot."

Xie Yinhui smiled happily, her eyes shining like stars. "Fu Wu Jin, the person I have my eye on will never disappoint me."

Fu Wujin nodded, "Actually, my second brother cooks very well."

"I know, aren't you still going to open a restaurant at the academy gate?" Xie Ying smiled softly. "In the future, will you still worry about having no chance to eat?"

She winked at Fu Wujin, and Fu Wujin only felt his heart was sweeter than eating sugar.

Quick, grab the medicine! Fu Wujin wishes it would go a little slower.

Xie Yinyue was a little reluctant, "I have to go back."

"Are you coming alone? Why don't you bring anyone with you?"

Although the county was very peaceful, Xie Yingtian's stunning beauty made him uneasy about leaving her alone.

They went to buy snacks for my mother, so I thought I'd come see you myself. Xie Ying had already sent the maids away, and with them gone, there were some things she couldn't say.

"Come on, oh, by the way, will you be here for my birthday?"

Fu Wujin nodded, "Good."

Xie Yings' birthday, Fu Wujin knew about it, only he had never gone.

Xie Ying walked to the door and said, "Bring your sister here."

Fu Wujin nodded, there was a little sister there, so he wouldn't feel awkward himself.

Xie Ying is a renowned beauty and talented woman in the county. Now that she has reached marriageable age, there's been an extra buzz surrounding her arranged marriage prospects over the past two years.

She also has a great personality and many friends, not just ladies but gentlemen too.

Before, Fu Wuji only heard from his classmates about how grand the event was.

Back then, he was humble and down-to-earth, while Xie Ying was like a bright moon in the sky. He never imagined that one day, you, this bright moon, would only shine on him.

This is his first time celebrating Xie Ying's birthday with her, so he needs to prepare a decent gift.

Fu Wujin knew that the little dumpling always had brilliant ideas, and Lao Ba was skillful. These two people would occasionally come up with things that amazed the family. Although most were considered useless by his father, he never stopped Lao Ba from doing so.

"Is Sister Xie's birthday coming up?" Fu Jiujiu thought this was a great opportunity. Xie Ying's family background, appearance, many people would surely be coveting her.

She invited Fifth Brother to go, which is a great opportunity. Fifth Brother should seize this opportunity and declare his sovereignty.

Let those who coveted Sister Xie die that thought.

"She told me to take you."

"What about me?" Fu Jiujiu stuck out her tongue. "Alright."

"Chirp chirp, you always have so many great ideas, quick, help your fifth brother think of what to give her?"

"...Fu Jiu Jiu was taken advantage of by the male lead. In her era, when a woman celebrated her birthday, men would give gifts like bags, jewelry, or skincare products. However, it seems that these are not appropriate in this time period, as they come across as frivolous."

"Fifth Brother, I've just invented a Lu Ban lock. No one can open it except for little sister. Why don't you give it to Sister Xie?"

He also proudly added, "She would definitely like it."

Fu Wujiu glanced at Fu Bajin, "Bajin, I think we should still let the little sister decide."

Fu Jiujiu also looked at Baba with a helpless expression. He's the embodiment of a straight man, even though he usually sends Lu Ban lock toys as gifts, this isn't really appropriate right now.

Isn't giving gifts all about finding something the recipient will love and be impressed by?

"Fifth Brother, what does Sister Xie like?" the little dumpling asked.

"She... is multi-talented and enjoys many things." Fu Wujin thought about the gap between himself and Xie Ying, it was truly not a little.

"Fifth Brother, if you want to make a splash, why not send over some of Second Brother's famous stinky tofu? It will definitely wow the crowd."

Fu Wujin looked at his younger brother, "Bajin, why don't you go play with Tianfu?"

Fu Jiujiu also couldn't help but laugh at Fu Bajin's words, "Eight Brother, this idea is great, I've got it."

When she has an eighth sister-in-law, she will definitely give her an order of stinky tofu and say that the eighth brother asked for it.

Hehe.

Fu Wujin's gifts need to be thought about carefully, Fu Jiujiao is much easier. Firstly, they are both girls, and secondly, she is younger. There aren't high expectations for her gifts, in fact, it's okay not to send any.

However, Fujujiao is a meticulous person. Even when going to someone's house for a meal, she wouldn't go empty-handed; she would bring a sachet perfumed with her own special blend.

To sum it up, Fu Wujin hadn't figured out what to send here.

For several days in a row, Fu Wujin looked preoccupied.

"Mother, Wu Jin seems out of sorts these days. Is he ill?" the puzzled Wu said to Tian Guihua.

"It's not right, he's a doctor himself, shouldn't be sick, possessed?"

Tian Guihua did hear her little daughter mention it, saying that her silly son probably hasn't figured out what gift to give the girl yet.

Let him go.

Mrs. Wu nodded, "Mother, Wu Jin is not young anymore. His medical clinic is doing well now. Shouldn't we arrange a marriage for him?"

"Tian Guihua wanted to say, this matter isn't her concern, "Aren't you guys tired from school?"

"No... not tired, Mother. I am tired though, I'm going back to rest now."

Mrs. Wu found it strange that her mother-in-law didn't seem to care much about the wedding of her son and daughter-in-law.

The next day, Tian Guihua saw that her silly son finally stopped staring blankly into space. Instead, he was holding a piece of wood and wrestling with Baji for fun.

She was puzzled. Other girls on their coming-of-age ceremonies received hairpin or jade pendants, but he gave her wood?

She's a bit worried that the other girl might be upset.

Tian Guihua secretly beckoned the little dumpling over, "Girl, what's your fifth brother doing? I see that his two paws are worn out. Giving a wooden gift to a girl isn't very good, is it?"

Fu Jiujiu shook her head, "Mother, this wood isn't just any wood. Sister Xie will definitely like it."

Tien Gui Hua was skeptical, but hoped it might be true.

Fu Wujin hurt his hands making this gift with his own hands and didn't even close his eyes all night, but luckily he finished it the night before Xie Ying's birthday.

The three siblings were all excited looking at the gift they had made together.

"Sister, if we were to sell this, it should fetch a good price."

Fu Wujin glared at Fu Bajin, "Greedy, you can't sell this."

Lying in bed, she vaguely heard a melodious and somewhat familiar tune. Accompanied by the music, she fell into a deep sleep.

I'm so tired.
