Although there is still a while before the Spring Festival, except for Ding Yaqi, everyone is like a long grass in their hearts, looking forward to going home early for the New Year, especially Qian Lailai and Lin Zhigang, who are far away and can only go back once a year.

In the quiet office in the afternoon, there was only the sound of mouse and keyboard tapping, Qian Lailai was working seriously, the mobile phone "buzzed" and vibrate, she picked it up casually and looked at it, it was a text message receiving a salary. This month, everyone is looking forward to the salary, mainly wanting to know how much the boss can pay bonuses, seeing that the amount is more than expected, she is overjoyed in her heart, put down her mobile phone and continue to work.

Now she will distribute her monthly salary, the largest monthly expenditure is 4,000 yuan in rent, which must be set aside, and then water, electricity, gas and telephone bills, Internet fees are about 500 yuan, living close to occasionally take the subway so it saves a lot of transportation costs, meals, fruits and snacks are about 1,000 yuan, clothes and cosmetics are about 1,000 yuan, of course, the last two items will not be available every month.

Since she moved, she feels distressed every time she settles her accounts, and it costs 5-6,000 a month to maintain a basic life in Beijing, but fortunately, she can now receive at least two advertorials a month on her WeChat public account, and she can also help make up for it.

In fact, Qian Lailai's life is already frugal except for renting, but the balance of income is only a few thousand, she occasionally thinks about how many years she can get such a salary in the future, how much the salary will rise, how much money she can save, but no matter how you calculate it, she can't afford to buy a house after all.

Although she asked Ding Yaqi what her parents liked last time, she insisted that she didn't need to buy anything, but Qian Lailai finally bought them a time-honored cooked food gift box.

"Lailai, tell you that you don't have to buy anything, it's not that you haven't paid the rent when you rent a house, so you don't have to be so polite!" Seeing the gift box she brought, Ding Yaqi said with a smile.

"You also know that I can't buy things, the salesman said that this brand is very popular with old Beijingers, you take it home and add a dish to your uncle ......and aunt," she said with a smile, in fact, it doesn't matter how much it is, what matters is her heart.

"Alright then, thanks. She didn't give in and took it.

The next thing is to prepare gifts for her family, which is a nerve-wracking thing, the first two years of income is not much, she just bought some Beijing preserved fruits and roast duck, of course, as long as the daughter buys it, no matter what the parents will be happy. But this year, since she has plenty of money in her hand, she plans to buy some better gifts for her parents, so she asked Wang Fangfang at lunch.

"I give money directly, they buy whatever they like...... Wang Fangfang is too lazy to spend brain cells for these things.

"I also thought about giving money, but I didn't want to spend the money in their hands, so I might as well buy something they were reluctant to buy. She knew her parents' frugality too well, but the older generation was probably like that.

"It makes sense, then it depends on what hobbies your parents have, and do what they like!" she pondered.

"My dad likes to smoke and drink, and my mom likes to play mahjong......" she said helplessly, these are all bad habits, and there is nothing to support.

"Hahahaha, forget it, do you want to buy clothes?" she laughed.

"I'm afraid the size won't be right......," Qian Lailai pouted.

"Then buy health products, the regular kind. Wang Fangfang said again.

"Health supplements have to be eaten regularly to be effective!"

"Then buy gold ornaments, big gold rings one by one......" she said half-jokingly.

"That's a good idea!" she agreed.

Wang Fangfang didn't expect her jokes to be recognized, and she almost didn't spray rice, in fact, Qian Lailai thought that her parents didn't have rings until they got married, and her mother would occasionally complain about it, so it was good to simply buy a pair of rings for them as a gift and keep them as a souvenir.

The two of them made an appointment to go shopping on the last weekend before the holiday, and they could take advantage of the Spring Festival discount to buy and buy, and she bought a lot of cosmetics in the duty-free shop this time, and this time she mainly wanted to see clothes and gifts for her parents.
