Chapter 65: Birthday Present
This Saturday is Bai Xue's birthday, and Jiang Hui is having a headache about what gifts to buy. Buying gifts can be said to be the thing Jiang Hui is not good at, and throughout the year, there are all kinds of festivals, anniversaries, etc., and he doesn't know what to buy every time.
Buying gifts for girls is nothing more than wallets, handbags, cosmetics, jewelry, clothes, etc., fortunately, it's only the first time to buy a gift, and there are relatively more things to choose from, and the more you get there, the more you don't know what to buy.
After Jiang Hui handled the parcels and deliveries at the post office by himself, he came to Xizhimen to find a shopping mall.
Bai Xue is currently wearing no other jewelry except for a watch, and Jiang Hui thinks that it should be okay to buy a necklace.
Walking around the mall, the jewelry sellers all look similar, Chow Tai Fook, Chow Sang Sang, Luk Fook, Liuliufu and a bunch of other brands that look similar, and most people really can't figure out which one is better between them.
In his previous life, in order to figure out the relationship between them, Jiang Hui also studied it carefully in Du Niang.
Chow Tai Fook, Chow Sang Sang, and Luk Fook are Hong Kong systems.
Zhou Dasheng and Liuliufu are Lingnan departments, which are also good in the industry, and they are also large-scale companies in terms of the number of stores. Jin Liufu and Jin Dafu are also Lingnan brands, but they feel a bit of a copycat, and the level is relatively weak.
In fact, except for the three in the Hong Kong system, the other ones were a bit of a copycat in the early days. These companies and brands have their own unique business models and franchise policies, which have attracted many small bosses and big bosses to join and open stores of these brands. However, they did not make it clear that they had anything to do with Chow Tai Fook, Chow Sang Sang, and Luk Fook, so they were not cheating, they were just playing a piece of ball, confusing and confusing everyone, and staining the light of those three brands.
Jiang Hui looked at the necklace styles of each family, and they were all similar. Looking at the current price of gold is only about 100 yuan, an increase of 300% in ten years, for ordinary people, if they have money to invest in some gold, it is much better than putting money in the bank.
Considering that young girls generally prefer platinum jewelry to gold jewelry, Jiang Hui picked a platinum necklace from Chow Tai Fook and asked the salesman to find a delicate packaging bag to put it in.
Jiang Hui wasn't sure who Bai Xue would call to celebrate her birthday together, but there was a good chance that a few of them from the dormitory would come together, so he ordered a larger cake at a cake shop near the school.
On Friday night, Jiang Hui and Bai Xue had dinner together in the cafeteria.
"Shall we go to the movies in a moment?" Jiang Hui said.
"Okay, tomorrow weekend, tonight is the best movie," Bai Xue said.
"How many people have you called to celebrate your birthday tomorrow night, I'll arrange it in advance," Jiang Hui said.
"Just a few of us in the dormitory, and then a good friend from high school who attends a girls' college, should come over too," Bai Xue said.
"Then I probably have a plan in mind, and I'll call and book a Cantonese restaurant in a while, so you can feel the taste of hometown," Jiang Hui said.
"Thank you, dear, what are we going to do tomorrow?", Bai Xue said.
"Tomorrow the two of us will go for a walk in the hutongs, and we will take a turn around the big attractions during the National Day, but those old alleys are also quite tasteful and worth seeing," Jiang Hui said.
"Okay, I really haven't been to see it, just to experience the life of the people in the old imperial capital," Bai Xue said.
"At noon, we can taste some of the special delicacies of the imperial capital, and in the afternoon we can go to Wangfujing for a walk, and then come back in the evening to invite everyone to dinner," Jiang Hui said.
"It's all up to you, you don't just sell me," Bai Xue joked.
"I'm still waiting to take you to the countryside to be the lady of the village," Jiang Hui said.
After eating, the two of them took the car to watch a movie. In fact, there is nothing good about the current movies in Jiang Hui's eyes, either they are bad movies or they have been watched. However, at this special time, it is still necessary to accompany Bai Xue to watch a movie, so Jiang Hui also confirmed in advance which movie theater has the movie he wants to watch.
The imperial capital is so big, and I finally found a theater that will show "Titanic" on Friday night. The reason why I want to watch this movie is because I have never been to the cinema, and I was still in middle school when it was released, and it is estimated that Bai Xue has not seen it in the cinema. On the other hand, this movie is too classic after all, and it is very suitable to watch it with a girl.
When he arrived at the theater, Jiang Hui first went to line up to buy tickets, and basically the people who came to watch the movie were young couples or couples.
"How did you know that there was a screening of Titanic here? I always wanted to go to the cinema to see it, but I didn't expect it to come true today, I used to watch the video at the same school, thank you dear", Bai Xue said.
"As I expected, I haven't seen it in the cinema either," Jiang Hui said after kissing Bai Xue's little face.
The movie didn't start until eight o'clock, and it was already more than eleven o'clock when it was put down after more than three hours, and the scene of painting in it reminded Jiang Hui of the classic clip of a certain general bureau in later generations:
The audience and the media questioned that the plot of Rose naked and Jack painting in "Titanic" was not deleted when it was released in the mainland in 1998, but it was deleted when it was released in 2012, and a general bureau gave an explanation: "Considering the particularity of 3D movies, we are worried that the audience will reach out and touch it when playing this clip, hitting the head of the audience in the front row, causing disputes." For the sake of building a spiritual civilized society, we have decided to delete this fragment.
However, this funny scene can only be enjoyed alone in Jiang Hui's own heart.
After watching the movie, it was almost twelve o'clock when they returned to school, and the two of them did not go back to the dormitory, but went directly to the rented place.
When Jiang Hui waited for Bai Xue to take a bath, he hurriedly took out the necklace he had bought, preparing to surprise Bai Xue for a while.
"Baby, happy birthday", Bai Xue walked out of the bathroom while wiping her hair in a nightdress, Jiang Hui took out a gift and said.
"Isn't it tomorrow's birthday?", Bai Xue said.
"It's already past twelve o'clock," Jiang Hui said with a smile.
"Thank you, dear, can I open it and take a look at it now", Bai Xue said as she put down the towel and took the gift box.
"Let's open it and see if you like it," Jiang Hui said.
"As long as you give it to me, I like it", Bai Xue said with a sweet smile, and then opened the gift box.
"It's so beautiful, I like it so much", Bai Xue said as she gave Jiang Hui a kiss.
"I'll put it on for you", Jiang Hui picked up the necklace and put it on Bai Xue after speaking?
Bai Xue's neck is very thin and white, and she is wearing a nightdress with a low neckline and a white necklace, which is very touching.
