In the blink of an eye, Christmas is here. In the small city of Port City, there has just been a craze for giving apples on Christmas Eve. The "peace fruit" sold on the street costs two or three yuan a piece, and Jolene is reluctant to buy it. A few days ago, Grandma happened to deliver a box of red Fuji apples, and Jolene went to the stationery store to buy a few beautiful wrappers and wrapped ten apples, planning to give them to a few good friends.

However, Jolene underestimated her popularity, and she received no less than twenty apples. When her classmates gave her apples, they would say sympathetically: "Today is Kaka's big day, you should be happy too!"

Yang Xu and Zhang Yu were even more excessive, they didn't even bother to buy the wrapping paper, they directly cut out the wedding photos of Kaka and Caroline from the sports weekly, wrapped them outside the apple, and handed them to Qiao Lin with a smile: "The idol has a good home, you are very happy, right?"

Happy?

Jolene couldn't help but sharpen her tiger teeth again!

She's about to cry!

In today's terms, these boys are all big pig trotters who owe a beating!

Christmas Eve happened to be Saturday, and it was also the day of the second middle school's holiday, and if it wasn't for the apples to her classmates, she wouldn't want to go to school. She finally returned home with a schoolbag full of apples, Qiao Jianjun was shocked by the prices of these so-called "Ping An fruits", and even said that he had already known about it and set up a stall to sell it.

"You won't make that money!" Qiao Lin left this sentence and went out with Zhao Linlin.

Because of Kaka's marriage, Jolene was depressed for many days. In order to comfort her, Xu Na discussed with Zhao Linlin and invited her to eat delicious food near Haida on the day of the second middle school's big holiday. It happened to be a long time since she had relaxed, so Jolene gladly agreed, went home, put down the apple, and left.

Haida is at the forefront of fashion in the port city, with a Christmas atmosphere everywhere, and of course, many students set up stalls to sell apples. In front of a stall, Jolene saw a beautifully packaged apple, glowing red, in a clear plastic box with a beautiful bow tied at the top of the box with a vermicelli ribbon. In a pile of prosaic apples, it looks like a princess with a noble temperament.

"It's so beautiful!" Jolene reached out and touched it, but was stunned by its price: "Ten dollars?"

The exaggerated shouts attracted Xu Na and Zhao Linlin, and Qiao Lin said indignantly: "These profiteers who have been abducted and deceived!"

The stall owner turned his head slowly, his eyes were very innocent, and his mouth was still sticking to the rice grains of the lunch box.

Qiao Lin was dumbfounded all of a sudden: "Xu, Brother Xu Wei?"

Xu Wei's face was full of displeasure: "Don't call me brother, call me a profiteer." ”

Jolene was so anxious that she said, "That, that...... Why don't I buy this apple?"

"You don't need to buy it, some people are willing to be fooled!"

As he spoke, a boy came over. Xu Wei wiped his mouth and greeted warmly: "Brother, want to give a gift to your girlfriend?"

The boy nodded shyly and picked up the 10 yuan peace fruit, probably thinking it was too expensive, so he put it down again. Xu Wei said with a smile: "As the saying goes, you can't feel sorry for your parents, and you can't feel sorry for women." Girls, don't they all have a little bit of careful thinking about comparison? If you give her the best peace fruit, she will definitely put it in the most conspicuous position in the dormitory when she goes back, so that other girls envy her. Once a year, spending a few dollars can make her happy for several days, where is there such a good thing?"

The boy was obviously moved, picked up the apple and said, "But this is too expensive, I'll take it for eight dollars." ”

"Brother, it's not that I'm reluctant to sell it, a penny for a piece of goods, can an eight-dollar apple be compared to this?"

The boy hesitated, Xu Wei looked at his words, and lowered his voice and said: "They are all students, and they don't have enough money, so let's both let it go, nine yuan, and we can't talk about it anymore!"

If you save a dollar, you can make an extra dish, and the boy was very satisfied with the result, paid happily, took the apple and left.

Qiao Lin was stunned on the side: "Brother Xu Wei, are you really sold?"

Xu Wei proudly cocked Erlang's legs: "Didn't you say that I was a profiteer? This is the ability of a profiteer." ”

"Alright, I've said the wrong thing, I'll make amends to you!" Jolene bowed, pretending to be a bow.

"Come on, I don't want to go to my heart, no treachery, no business!" Xu Wei quipped himself.

Qiao Lin was relieved to see that he didn't care. I secretly made up my mind that I wouldn't talk like this in the future.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Xu Wei asked, "Why did you come to Haida to play today?"

"Oh... , that, Kaka got married today, I felt uncomfortable, and they took me out to relax. ”

Qiao Lin finished speaking honestly, but Xu Wei couldn't stand up with a straight smile: "Kaka gets married, what does it have to do with you? If he doesn't get married, you will have a chance?"

Sometimes Jolene is really helpless, is his goddess married, he is not sad at all?

Jolene was upset and turned away, trying to find something to eat with her two best friends.

Xu Wei shouted behind her, "I'll go to your house tonight and send something to your house!"

"Oh. Jolene agreed sullenly, regardless of whether he heard it or not. She just wanted to drink a lot of Coke Sprite and get herself drunk.

In the evening, Xu Wei really came to Qiao's house, and he brought a computer bag. Li Lanzhi asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I installed a computer by myself, and I don't have a place to put it at home, so I want to use it for Linlin!" Xu Wei said very naturally.

"Ouch, Linlin is still young, she can't use this thing, you can take it away!"

Qiao Lin was anxious: "Who said I don't need to? Now among my good friends, we may not have a computer at home, and I usually have to go to Sun Ruiyang's house when I surf the Internet!"

Xu Wei pushed the boat: "Qiao Lin is right, my cousin has to hand in the electronic version after reading, and occasionally I have to make a PPT or something, what can I do without a computer?"

Li Lanzhi also insisted: "This is too expensive, I can't ask for it in vain." ”

"Ouch my Mr. Li, you're in a hurry to kill me!" Xu Wei said: "I said, I assembled this computer, and I can't sell it! Let Linlin use it first, and then eliminate it when she uses it." This is my experiment, so you can try it out for me first!"

Xu Wei is worthy of being a businessman, and he is quite flexible in his speech, obviously he sent things to the Qiao family, but it was as if he was begging the Qiao family to do something. Li Lanzhi didn't want to say anything more, so she said, "Thank you then", and went back to the kitchen to get busy.

Qiao Lin jumped up happily: "Thank you, Brother Xu Wei!"

"It's just this computer, it's really nothing. You don't have an internet at home, and if you don't have a computer connected to the Internet, it's just a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron. ”

Qiao Lin was not worried at all: "I told my parents that after having the Internet, I can chat with my sister, and even if it is expensive, they will pull the network cable." ”

"Well, I have a request, can you ...... when chatting with your sister?"

"Needless to say, I know, I have a few more kind words for you! You think I don't even know this, cut, I underestimate me!"

Xu Wei scratched her nose with satisfaction and boasted, "What a clever puppy!"

"Wow!" Jolene happily replied.

Although the cheapest package is two or three hundred, Qiao Jianjun still did not hesitate to pull the network cable. In order to prevent Qiao Lin from surfing the Internet, the two put the computer in Li Lanzhi's room. Jolene was very disdainful of what they did - she was so busy that she didn't have time to surf the Internet!

At that time, there were no built-in cameras on computers, and there were very few external ones, but for Qiao's family, it was already a great happiness to be able to communicate with Qiao Lu by typing. On a Sunday afternoon, Jolene boarded her QQ and typed down two words "sister" with excitement.

As soon as it was sent, Qiao Jianjun couldn't wait to ask, "Is Lulu back?"

Li Lanzhi glanced at her husband: "What are you anxious about? If Lulu replies, QQ will be ticking." ”

"Oh, wait a minute. ”

After waiting for a few minutes, Qiao Lu didn't reply, Qiao's family became anxious, and Qiao Lin said coldly: "We have a fifteen-hour time difference, and now it's almost half past twelve at my sister's place." ”

"No wonder!" Qiao Jianjun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then don't bother her, let's talk later." ”

"Oh......"

Qiao Lin opened QQ in disappointment, and just clicked on the cross in the upper right corner, but QQ rang.

It turned out that Qiao Lu sent a smiley face, and her screen name was very simple "LULU".

Qiao Jianjun became excited all of a sudden, and kept commanding Qiao Lin: "Quickly ask what your sister is doing, have you eaten, have you been tired lately?"

Jolene was very rusty in typing, and when she was urged by her father, she was even slower. Li Lanzhi blamed: "Are you confused? Linlin just said that it was half past twelve at night on Lulu's side, could you still not eat?"

"Oh, Linlin, you ask her first, why don't you sleep so late?"

"My sister said that she came home late from the experiment and had just taken a shower. ”

Qiao Jianjun said: "Why did you come back so late? I don't know if it's safe in the United States, in case you encounter a ...... with bad intentions on the road."

"Oh, okay, why are you more worried than me!" Li Lanzhi interrupted her husband rudely.

Jolene said again: "Sister said, don't worry, her house is just outside the school, and she is very good to her, and they didn't say anything when she came back so late. ”

"You tell your sister, you can't go home so late, or I'll rest assured. ”

Qiao Lin sent her father's words as she said, and Qiao Lu quickly replied: "The experimental equipment has been occupied by classmates, and I can only wait for them to leave before using it." ”

The three of them were silent all of a sudden, Qiao Jianjun knew that the eldest daughter had always been forbearing, and almost never said that others were not. She said this sentence euphemistically, and Qiao Jianjun could quickly capture the grievances she suffered in the United States. He felt sad and walked away silently.

Li Lanzhi knew her husband's thoughts, got up and chased him out. Qiao Lin was left alone in the room, and her typing speed quickly became faster: "Sister, this computer was assembled by Brother Xu Wei himself and given to our family." Later, with a computer, it will be convenient to connect. If you have anything outside, just leave a message on my QQ, don't hold it in your heart alone. ”

Qiao Lu seemed to be silent for a moment, and then typed a line: "Got it, thank Xu Wei for me." ”

Jolene closed the computer, a little stunned, when would she be able to see her sister's face! But she didn't know, her sister didn't want her family to see her, because she had lost ten pounds in less than four months after arriving in the United States.
