Chapter 64: Big Purchases
After getting off work on Friday, Mo Fan and Lu Xiaorong went to her house. On this day, Lu Xiaorong made an appointment to meet with the master who taught her to drive, and everyone had a meal together.
The place to eat was very close to Lu Xiaorong's house, and after the two arrived, they ordered food first, and it didn't take long for the guests to arrive, just the three of them in total.
The master of the coach, surnamed Wu, is in his forties, not tall, with slightly bald hair, a missing front tooth underneath, and a little leaky speech.
Lu Xiaorong introduced Mo Fan's situation, and half-jokingly said that the driving skills are no worse than the master, of course, the focus is to emphasize the need to get a driver's license as soon as possible.
Now private cars are quite common, and there are not a few people who can drive without a license, but they come out on a wild road, which is not so formal, and the most people who are locked up in the exam are this kind of person, so Master Wu is still a little uneasy.
Lu Xiaorong said, while the food hasn't come up yet, you can go out and drive around. Mo Fan knew Master Wu's mind and did not object to it. So the two went out and drove Master Wu's coach car around, and this time Master Wu was finally relieved.
One of the reasons why many people get their driver's licenses slowly is that the master is worried that the skills are not up to par, and if they are turned off by the examiner, it will delay the efficiency of the apprentice. The number of places in each coach is limited, and if one of them is stuck, the people behind can't stand up, which will affect the coach's income. If the driving skills are recognized by the master, it is actually quite fast.
Mo Fan stated to Master Wu that he only participated in the four tests of traffic regulations, reverse storage, small roads and big roads, and would not get on the bus at other times. As for the specified boarding time, I asked Master Wu to make a fake fingerprint to help punch in.
For this kind of student who saves gas for him, Master Wu is still very welcome, after all, the price of oil is very high now. Fake fingerprints are also very simple to make, put a piece of wax on a fingerprint, and after hardening, pour something like silicone, solidify and take it off. This play doesn't cost much, and if you're afraid of blurring damage, it's not a hassle to make ten in one go.
Since no one was drinking, I didn't eat a meal for too long, and it was only half past seven after it was over.
Lu Xiaorong said: "There is a new shopping mall around here, shall we go shopping?"
Mo Fan said happily: "Okay!"
He is not really keen on this kind of activity at the mall. Presumably, there are not many men with this habit, or it is not said that the mall is open for women. Just looking at the regular layout of the mall, cosmetics, jewelry, women's clothing, women's shoes, and women's bags firmly occupy the first to third floors, and men's clothes often do not appear until the fourth floor, so you can know who this is the world open for.
But Mo Fan felt that since he was talking about friends, he had to have the courage to accept this kind of challenge, which could be regarded as an obligation. It's not easy to win a woman's heart, but it's not difficult to make a woman who likes you happy, and many times it's just a gesture. Those who don't want to do this either have a problem with their mentality or are too stupid. Some buddies fought with their own women for a long time, and finally followed behind to go shopping, so why bother, it is better to happily agree to be happy.
Lu Xiaorong bought a box of eye cream on the first floor, and said to Mo Fan when she paid the bill: "Give me your wallet." Mo Fan didn't care, so he took it out and gave it to her.
This wallet was just given to him by Lu Xiaorong yesterday. In the past, Mo Fan didn't have much money in his pocket, and the only bank card was the company's salary card, which he would only bring with him on the day of payment, so he couldn't use the wallet at all. This month, he had a little more money on hand, and he opened a new bank card, transferred the benefit fee given by Chen Weijie, and prepared to use it to make futures, but he didn't bother to buy a wallet. Lu Xiaorong saw that he put the money in his pocket casually, looking messy, and the bank card was easy to break, so she gave him one.
After paying for the box of eye cream with Mo Fan's money, Lu Xiaorong put the wallet into her satchel and pulled Mo Fan straight up, skipping the middle layers.
Mo Fan came back to his senses and said, "I don't have to buy anything." ”
Lu Xiaorong said: "In less than a month, the weather will be very cold, here are the new autumn and winter clothes, let's take a look first!"
Speaking of seasonal clothes, Mo Fan really doesn't have them now. Originally, there were a few pieces, but he left them in the boarding house and didn't take them. He was going to add it when the time came, but since Lu Xiaorong said so, it would be okay to take a look. I think it was the day I took her to the house, and when I saw the empty closet, she had this thought.
Lu Xiaorong's posture of choosing clothes also shows that she is by no means as simple as just coming to see, in addition to underwear, clothes, pants, and shoes have to buy several pieces of each. Mo Fan's wallets were all confiscated, and she naturally paid for these things.
Mo Fan couldn't help but say: "Your way of buying makes us like nouveau riche who have made a windfall, and it is easy to attract attention." ”
Lu Xiaorong laughed when she heard it and said, "Do you care what others think?"
Mo Fan was choked up for a moment, and said, "Then you don't have to buy so much at once, come back to shop in the future, and buy slowly!"
Lu Xiaorong said: "I know you don't like to go to the mall, so I just buy more, so I don't have to pull you to make you feel like you're guilty." ”
Mo Fan opened his mouth, really a little speechless. Finally, he sighed: "I am really lucky to know you." ”
Lu Xiaorong looked at him sideways, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course. Mo Fan said very sincerely, kissing her on the cheek.
Lu Xiaorong blushed with shame, in public, she was not used to this kind of intimate behavior at all, but she was very happy in her heart, and pulled Mo Fan to continue to purchase, until Mo Fan was almost unable to carry it in both hands, and she also carried several bags in her hands, and the shopping operation was over.
When he arrived at the parking lot, Mo Fan put all the things in his hand into the back seat and rubbed his sore arm. The thing is not heavy, but the two arms are stunned like penguins for a long time, and it is indeed a little unbearable.
Lu Xiaorong also put the loot in the back seat, and then took out Mo Fan's wallet from her shoulder bag and handed it back to him.
Mo Fan took it and said, "You're going to play this kind of trick with me now, right?"
Lu Xiaorong flattened her mouth and said, "Are you angry?"
Mo Fan hugged her and said, "Yes, who made you such a loser, these clothes are enough for me to wear for at least fifty years." ”
Buying that pile of clothes really cost Lu Xiaorong a lot of money. What she catches her eye is basically the most expensive of the same style, and she spent almost 100,000 yuan a night, and it is estimated that she will not be so reluctant to buy clothes for herself, which makes Mo Fan feel the most difficult to absorb the grace of a beauty, and the pressure is really a bit big.
Although shopping malls are women's world, and clothing is women's favorite, in fact, men's clothing of the same grade and brand is much more expensive than women's clothing, which is obviously caused by the different attitudes of men and women towards clothing. Men's clothes can be small and fine, it doesn't matter if they wear a coat for a week or even a month, as long as they are neat and tidy. For women, this is completely intolerable, it doesn't matter if you can't pursue high-quality clothing, you must not lag behind in quantity and style.
Lu Xiaorong smiled slyly and said, "Didn't you buy me eye cream too! Besides, why can't you give me a painting and a few clothes?"
Mo Fan thought to himself, the box of eye cream was less than two hundred yuan, and it seemed to be suspected of being "sent". said: "Hearing you say this, it is the first time that I have found out that I am quite rich in painting." I knew what kind of class I would go to like this, and if I painted a few pictures a day, I wouldn't be a billionaire?"
Lu Xiaorong slapped him lightly on the chest and said, "Make fun of me again, you are so annoying!"
……
……
In the past, Mo Fan thought that Lu Xiaorong's spare time was relatively monotonous, at most she was just shopping. Now that he has started dating, he has discovered that women have their own specific arrangements when they rest. On weekends, Lu Xiaorong will go to practice Pilates, do SPA or something, not like him.
Although Lu Xiaorong said that she could go or not, it all depended on his meaning. But Mo Fan felt that the plan to disrupt a woman's beauty and beauty was very unwise. With her carnivorous habits, she can still maintain such a good figure, maybe that's the reason. Even if there is no actual effect, there will probably be a placebo effect (Note 1), so be sure to adopt a supportive and encouraging attitude.
He didn't want to be in case one day, Lu Xiaorong found that her waist was a little thicker, and she became the object of complaint. Besides, two people get along and leave a certain amount of time and space for each other, which is very beneficial to long-term peace and stability.
So on Saturday, the day off, the two did not go on a date, and made their own arrangements.
When Mo Fan got up early and went downstairs for morning exercise, he still met Ji Xiaoying, and he was damaged by this girl when he was running, but he was used to it for a long time, and he didn't take it seriously at all.
After finishing the workout, Ji Xiaoying asked him, do you still need to send you to work? Mo Fan hurriedly said, rest today, thank you for your kindness.
A smart person shouldn't fall twice in the same place, and in response to this violent policewoman who can't be measured by common sense, Mo Fan's strategy is to always keep a low profile, no matter how provocative she is and how mentally retarded she is, she will resolutely not fight back. We must abandon abnormal attitudes such as getting carried away, and never fall into her trap again.
After going home, taking a shower and having breakfast, Mo Fan played TV and began to watch the morning news and financial reports.
Some people feel that the content reported on TV is too official and stylized, and relatively lagging, so it is of little value. Mo Fan completely disagrees with this point of view. People who value information analysis should never give up on official reports, and it is up to you to interpret what is covered.
At half past nine, Liang Wenbo came out of the bedroom, saw Mo Fan watching TV, was very surprised, and said, "Why are you staying at home and haven't been to your two-person world?"
Mo Fan said: "Why can't I stay at home? She has her business, I have my business, do you think they are all the same as you, doing nothing all day long?"
When Liang Wenbo heard this, he became angry and said, "I have nothing to do, which of these food items at home did you buy?"
