23. Ask for pocket money
Yes, it's still cold.
However, this padded jacket with a cartoon dog pattern behind the bright yellow is really what a high school student should wear?
This sweatshirt has balled like this, and what kind of mentality is it still hanging in the closet?
This sportswear, this pompous deep purple, this wonderful fabric that has a rustic feel just by hanging on a hanger, where did you get the courage to wear it on your body?
Xu Ziran's hands trembled, and he finally saw a white T that seemed to be normal, and took it out to take a look.
Oh my God, didn't someone really buy this sequins on her chest with a gun pointed at her?
Xu Ziran was about to collapse.
She looked back at the blue and white school uniform at this time, and thought that it was really the most beautiful dress in the world.
She felt that her aesthetics had been forced/raped, and she was deeply ravaged by her self more than ten years ago!
As a Taobao shopkeeper who later did a clothing business, Xu Ziran felt that the most terrifying hit on Taobao ten years later was not as terrible as his current clothes.
She slammed the closet shut, thinking that she would just wear the school uniform, but then she thought that the school uniform had been worn for so many days and had to be washed anyway, so she went to the other cabinets and finally found a gray tracksuit, which she felt was barely too scary, at least on par with the school uniform.
Then she began to rummage through boxes and cabinets - looking for money.
She had to get some money to go outside and buy clothes that would catch her eye.
Yesterday, she was still thinking that it was not too important to study money or something at the moment, but today she felt that her face hurt so much!
For example, when she mentioned Banlan root yesterday, Xu Ziran thought about making money by reselling Banlan root and special drugs, but first, she had no principal, second, she had no purchase channel, and third, she didn't even have a sales channel.
In fact, these three aspects are basically the three most important aspects of her later experience, and none of them can be missing.
People often think that doing business is very simple, because they have not experienced it, and they don't know that there are more twists and turns.
Xu Ziran knew that with her current state, even if she seized the opportunity in front of her, she would at most turn a thousand pieces, what use could it be, it was better to concentrate on learning or brushing up experience.
As for the future, Xu Ziran actually has a rough framework, but the opportunity she is waiting for will have to wait for another year.
And now she knows that money is one of the most important things at any time, at least a thousand yuan, and she can buy a lot of clothes.
When she rummaged through all the corners and found a total of two coins, she fell into deep thought.
――Who am I? What do I save zài for? Where am I?
Mother Xu's voice came from downstairs loudly: "What are you doing!" Tear down the house, it's so loud! ”.
Xu Ziran wore the gray sportswear suit, stuffed the two yuan into her pocket, and ran downstairs quickly, her mother had already made breakfast, and when she saw her going downstairs, she was surprised: "You really got up, is there something wrong today?" ”
Xu Ziran hadn't asked her mother for money for many years, and although she knew that she had become a high school student again, she still couldn't speak, so she sat down at the table and pulled out her breakfast, and then Ai Ai said, "Hey, Mom, I'll go to school later." ”
Mother Xu said: "I didn't hear that you want to make up classes?" ”
Xu Ziran scratched his face: "It's not a make-up class, it's an appointment with a classmate." ”
Mother Xu instantly woke up: "Male classmate or female classmate?" ”
Xu Ziran hurriedly said: "Female classmate, we made an appointment to go for a morning run together, and I just got up so early." ”
Mother Xu was still skeptical: "Why don't you go with Jiaqi." ”
It's okay not to mention Tian Jiaqi, but when she mentions it, Xu Ziran feels that something is wrong.
Speaking of which, in the next few years, her mother and Tian Jiaqi were even closer than her, and the two chatted about the world, they were sisters who had been separated for many years, and they couldn't stop.
Xu Ziran knew that her mother had always felt that Tian Jiaqi was more intimate than her, and she looked more like a girl, and when she was away from home, Tian Jiaqi came to accompany her mother most of the time.
As soon as he thought of this, memories kept coming out like a gushing spring, Xu Ziran hurriedly stopped the thoughts in his mind, and in line with the idea that sticking out his head is a knife and shrinking his head is also a knife, he said: "I can't have my own friends, Mom, I have no money, give some pocket money." ”
As soon as these words came out, Xu Ziran felt panicked, but on the other hand, she had a strange sense of intimacy, probably because she had not had such an interaction with her mother, and now she could do it as a matter of course, she couldn't help but feel a trace of nostalgia from the depths of her heart.
There was no fixed amount of pocket money in high school, but the amount was not much, and she usually asked her parents for it when she was gone, sometimes fifty, sometimes one hundred, for her lunch and snacks at school, and as for clothes and the like, most of the time her mother personally helped her buy them.
Her mother is very strict with pocket money, and she has to figure out where she spends it every time, probably because Xu's mother is really stingy with money, Xu Ziran always thought that her family was very poor when she was a child, so she never dared to spend money at will.
I remember that when she was in elementary school, she gave pocket money for a while, and Xu Ziran couldn't remember how much money it was each week, probably dozens of yuan, but once, her money was lost or stolen, and she couldn't get it back, at that time in her mind, the amount of money was already very large, she was worried that Xu's mother would scold her, and she didn't dare to tell her parents, so she decided to be hungry for a week, and it only took three days to rely on Tian Jiaqi's help, and on the fourth day, Tian Jiaqi couldn't stand it, and told Xu's mother about it, and Xu's mother couldn't cry or laugh. He gave her twenty dollars, and held her head and said, "Oh, my daughter, what is there to dare to say?" ”
Not long after, Xu Ziran knew that in fact, her parents didn't give her too much money in middle school, not because the family was so poor that they couldn't afford dozens of yuan, but because they just didn't want to spend money on her.
Later, when she went to college, her parents suddenly began to be generous, probably because they were far away from home and couldn't take care of them by their side, but they were worried about everything, so they had to keep asking her if she had enough money to ease the worries in her heart.
Later, I made my own money, and I had the burden of "since I was an adult, I can't ask my parents for money", and I will never mention this stubble again, so this experience is really long gone.
Mother Xu looked at Xu Ziran, as if she wanted to see some clues on her face: "What, there is no money, where is it used?" ”
Xu Ziran has only been here for a few days, how can she know where to use it, but she knows that at this time, the tone of her speech must be firm, so she said loudly: "It's been so long, of course it's used up." ”
Xu Mu thought about it and seemed to agree, but she was still a little suspicious, and asked, "What new friends, have I seen them?" ”
Xu Ziran held his forehead with his hand, he was really helpless, and simply said bluntly: "Mom, if I don't ask you for pocket money, it will be more like early love." ”
Hearing this, Mother Xu fell into deep thought.
Xu Ziran said a lot, and finally got fifty yuan, but most of it was gone.
Xu Ziran also accepted his fate, thinking to himself, anyway, there are not many opportunities to wear regular clothes, so he simply can't see it.
She put the money in her pocket and rode to school at a high speed, there was no time limit for the task given to her by the system today, but there was a time limit, she had to run for a full twenty minutes, and the speed could not be less than 8 km/h.
It's a sunny day, and although the temperature is not high, it already looks like spring.
The sun had not yet fully risen, and it hung half-shaded and half-hidden on the distant mountains in the east, like a yellow and clear soft-hearted egg yolk.
Xu Ziran was thinking about wanting to eat soft-boiled eggs a little, and the system reminded-
[Dear host, two hundred meters ahead, your target character has appeared, go and start your beautiful day~]
Xu Ziran looked forward fixedly, and sure enough, he saw Qiu Yurou's figure appear in the faint mist.
Xu Ziran immediately waved his hand and shouted from afar: "Hey! Fish! ”
Qiu Yurou seemed to have stopped on the side of the road, but because she saw Xu Ziran, she stepped back on the bicycle and rode side by side when Xu Ziran came to her.
Xu Ziran asked, "Why are you here?" Are you waiting for me? ”
Qiu Yurou seemed to be a little flustered, her eyes wandered for a while, and she disguised: "No, no, I'm just having breakfast here, and I've just finished eating." ”
This expression looked like he was lying, but Xu Ziran didn't debunk it, and asked questions such as what he had for breakfast and changed the topic, but his heart was warm, and he felt that he could not make Qiu Yurou care like this.
When the two arrived at the school, they parked their cars and went to the playground, where they found that there were more people than usual on the playground, and many people were playing football on the football field.
Xu Ziran and Qiu Yurou did a warm-up exercise on the single parallel bars on the side for a while, and then they were ready to start running.
But this time, Xu Ziran resolutely told Qiu Yurou to run at her own pace.
Qiu Yurou was still a little hesitant at first, seeing Xu Ziran's resolute expression, she finally didn't insist, Xu Ziran and Qiu Yurou started running from the same starting line, and soon Qiu Yurou surpassed Xu Ziran by a big cut, and it didn't take long for Qiu Yurou to catch up from behind.
Ferrule.
Xu Ziran glanced at Qiu Yurou and saw that the other party's face was not red or panting, and she was greatly admired.
Compared with her, Qiu Yurou's speed is not slow, and she still has such stamina that she can participate in the principal's running team.
When she ran for more than ten minutes, Xu Ziran gradually began to feel that her feet were a little soft, and Qiu Yurou had already surpassed her by two laps.
When she caught up from behind again, Qiu Yurou did not continue to overtake, but followed Xu Ziran's side.
Although Xu Ziran was a little panting, because it was a jog, he was not too strong, so he said while running: "You can accommodate my speed like this, but it will be more tiring." ”
Qiu Yurou shook her head.
I don't know if it's because of running, or because of the sun that is gradually getting stronger, the other party's cheeks are red, and there is a thin sweat, like a peach stained with water.
The peach-like girl glanced at Xu Ziran with shining eyes and said, "I'm not tired." ”
There seemed to be a thousand words in his eyes, and finally turned into a happy smile, and Xu Ziran's heart jumped when he saw it.
