Dear Commander-in-Chief

Everyone didn't think much about it for a while.

In order to liven up the atmosphere, everyone agreed with Gu Meifeng's proposal: "Okay! Okay! Let's unwrap the presents on the spot! I heard that young people celebrate their birthdays like this now, so let's make the old man fashionable too. Why don't you invite the old man over soon?"

Soon, Mr. Gu was invited out.

Sitting on the main seat, watching the laughter of his children and grandchildren, he also felt very relieved.

Seeing Gu Qiqi leading Xiao Bei here, he nodded with satisfaction and smiled with his beard.

It's just...why didn't that person come?

Maybe it's because I'm busy, so I'll be late?

After all, the old man was highly respected, so he could hold his breath and didn't ask Gu Qiqi.

Under the strong instigation of Gu Meifeng and Gu Xuexue, the servants handed over the birthday gifts one by one, and opened them on the spot for everyone to look at and comment on.

The first thing to unwrap was the gift from Gu Yuanyuan, which was the ice jadeite paperweight.

Square and square, quite satisfactory.

If there is no birthday peach behind Gu Qiqi for comparison, this gift is very decent, very precious, and a very thoughtful birthday gift.

Sure enough, as soon as it was taken apart, those uncles were full of praise.

Everyone praised Gu Yuanyuan's gaze.

"Yuanyuan is worthy of being the eldest lady of our Gu family, she has really good taste!"

"This gift is well chosen, generous and practical. Brother Enlong is really good at teaching girls!"

Gu Yuanyuan was very proud when she heard that.

Gu Enlong was also on the sidelines with honor.

A few more presents were opened, all of which were tea, walking sticks, pipes and other common things.

Until a painting is taken apart.

A fan-sized mini-canvas, on which are painted rivers with snow and old men on lonely boats with pearl powder.

Because the pearl pink color is warm and moist, although the artistry is average, the overall look is a bit interesting.

After all, it is rare for ordinary people to think of painting with pearl powder.

It can be said that creativity is greater than artistic value.

"Who gave this gift?" the old man asked aloud.

"Grandpa, I drew it. I'm average, so you're laughing at me." Gu Xuexue pretended to be modest, with her head half down, showing that she had a very low posture, but she was affectionate.

The old lady hurriedly helped to speak: "Is this drawn by Xuexue herself? Of course the gifts made by herself are quite different! Of course they are different from the ones I bought!"

Mr. Gu nodded slowly, twisting his beard: "Well, how could I laugh at you. It's a good intention."

The old man never commented on the previous gifts.

Even Gu Yuanyuan's precious ice jadeite paperweight, the old man just glanced at it.

This time I actually praised it.

Everyone is used to meeting the wind and making the rudder, and immediately they all praised:

"Oh, these children are filial piety, it's hard to buy a heart that they made with their own hands!"

"Meifeng, how did you teach your child to be so sensible? Bingxue is smart?"

"Hey, I think this pearl painting is a bit simple, but if you look closely, it looks like a lonely boat and hat man fishing in the cold river and snow alone. I heard that the old man has a new famous painting, which is fishing in the cold river and snow alone. Let Xuexue choose The subject matter is really suitable for the occasion!"

"Hey, it's not bad to be able to draw like this at such a young age!"

The tide of praise made Gu Xuexue happy.

Of course, this pearl painting was done for her by a senior painter in the jewelry store. She specially took a photo of the painting of "Lonely Fishing in the Cold River" given to her grandfather by "Gong Sheng" two days ago, so that others can copy it.

Can it not look good?

In terms of mind, creativity, and uniqueness, who can compare to her?

Even Gu Yuanyuan can't compare!

Not to mention Gu Qiqi's smashed longevity peach.

Of course, when she chose this subject, the deeper meaning is that she wants to make a couple painting with "Gong Sheng", so as to give Grandpa the impression that they are a good match, and even have the same artistic appreciation level!

At that time, wouldn't it be clear at a glance which daughter the Gu family proposed to propose marriage to the Gong family?

This is called subtlety, changing the views of others quietly.
