Chapter 8 Shopping
Lotus looked at the cute Li Jiani, and smiled at Li's father and mother: "Uncle and aunt, what are you here to buy?" ”
"Oh, it's nothing, let's buy a learning machine for Jiani." Dad Li obviously hasn't fully come to his senses yet.
Lotus was stunned when she heard this, learning machine? What's that? I know it. After thinking about it, he said to the two of them, "Why don't I accompany Li Jiani?" ”
The two glanced at each other, Mama Li thought about it, nodded, and said to her girl: "Jiani, you and Xiaohe should go." The money will be given to you, and your father and I will leave first. Little lotus? ”
Lotus heard Li's mother's words, and hurriedly promised: "No problem, my mother will send Li Jiani home in a while." ”
Hearing Lotus say this, Mama Li was completely relieved. Dad Li doesn't have any opinions, whether it's lotus or Zhang Li, it's worth reassuring. Li's mother instructed Li Jiani a few more words, and the couple left first.
Li Jiani is very happy now, her parents are gone, and only she is with Lotus! She glanced at Lotus quietly and said softly, "Lotus, I'm sorry for you." ”
Lotus smiled when she heard the girl's crisp voice, "It's okay, let's go." ”
"Yes"
The two walked slowly side by side. Twenty centimeters, this is the distance between the lotus and Li Jiani. The girl lowered her head and smiled secretly.
In front of the counter, Lotus saw the game console that Li Jiani wanted to buy, uh, it was a learning machine. What is it called Reading Yi Xing, Lotus knows this thing, and he also had it in his previous life. A few hundred dollars, for him at that time, the biggest value of this thing was the game in him. But since she accompanied Li Jiani by herself, of course she wouldn't buy this for her. Lotus looked left and right, his eyes lit up, he saw a pink learning machine, he had never seen a brand, but the price was very touching, almost five times that of Reading Yixing.
"Is it pretty?" The lotus flower pointed to it and asked Li Jiani.
In fact, Li Jiani also saw that the pink learning machine is very conspicuous and the shape is also very exquisite, but the price is also very high. Hearing Lotus's inquiry, Li Jiani responded with a soft "grace", she didn't know why Lotus asked her, the girl's mind was not complicated.
After hearing Li Jiani's answer, Lotus pointed to it and said to the sales staff: "I want that, thank you." ”
The staff naturally recognizes the lotus, the child of the boss's family, that is, the little boss! When the lotus came, she was ready for battle. Hearing his words at this time, she quickly took it out and handed it to the lotus, and asked with a smile: "Little boss, this is your classmate." ”
"yes." The lotus was handed to Li Jiani, who was still stunned, and said while taking out the money.
The staff was stunned when they saw the lotus paying, okay, I bought things for girls at a young age, which is more than my monthly salary! Of course, she didn't dare to say that.
"Lotus" Li Jiani was anxious, and her little face was tangled. said that he would buy it with him, and his parents also gave him money, but why did he pay in the end, more than two thousand yuan! Li Jiani was anxious, very anxious.
Seeing the girl's bewildered appearance, Lotus pursed her lips and smiled, and said slowly: "You just accept it, you will have a birthday next month!" Think of it as a birthday present. Don't turn me down. He had already thought of a reason, Li Jiani's birthday was also inadvertently said by Li Li, February 5th.
Li Jiani's white little face began to flush again when she heard this, he remembered my birthday, it's so good!
Zhang Li took the lead, and the little girl carried the bag containing the learning machine with her head down and followed behind with lotus flowers. Originally, Lotus planned to go to dinner with Li Jiani and the two of them, but Zhang Li just finished her work and blocked the two of them. Hearing that the two children were going to eat, Zhang Li waved her hand and came with me!
The lotus is helpless, but it also feels good. Li Jiani was very nervous, she wanted to talk to Zhang Li, but she didn't know what to say. She was afraid that Zhang Li would not like her, so she could only lower her head and follow cautiously.
Zhang Li didn't think much about it, children! And she still likes this shy little girl, her academic performance is good, her little appearance is also clean, and there are no messy decorations. But those legs are really long, Zhang Li looked at her secretly.
Zhang Li noticed the restraint of the two children, and said with a smile: "Jiani, come, go with your aunt." ”
Li Jiani was like a summoned beast, trotting to catch up.
"Tell my aunt, does Lotus usually make trouble at school?" Zhang Li asked with a smile.
"No, Lotus has a good academic performance" Li Jiani returned very firmly.
Zhang Li was speechless for a while, I asked if it was troublesome, of course I knew that the results were very good.
"Did he bully you? If he bullies you, you beat him. Zhang Li tried to ease the little girl's nervousness.
"No, I, I don't hit anyone." Li Jiani hurriedly waved her hand and said, her little face was nervous.
Zhang Li's face was sad.
Lotus listened to the conversation between the two in the back and almost laughed to death, Li Jiani's well-behaved appearance the more he liked it.
.
The three of them walked to the parking lot, Zhang Li drove in front, and Lotus and Li Jiani sat in the back. Zhang Li is a novice after all, and she is concentrating on driving the car, and she doesn't dare to be distracted to talk. Lotus and Li Jiani didn't know what to say, and there was a little silence in the car. Lotus looked at Zhang Li in front of her, and then looked at Li Jiani, who was nervous next to her, and a smile slowly appeared on her face.
Zhang Li chose a barbecue restaurant that is very famous in S City, and she has to queue up almost all the time. The price is not too high, but there are a lot of dishes and the environment is very good.
After parking the car, Zhang Li led the two children in. When I entered the hotel, I saw a crowd of people waiting for empty seats on the side. The hall manager saw Zhang Li coming, and hurriedly greeted him, "Mr. Zhang, welcome, I haven't seen you for a few days, please come here." ”
Zhang Li often comes here to eat and talk, and the manager of this store also knows that Zhang Li is the owner of the recently opened shopping center. This identity is very big, at least his own boss doesn't have that strength. Zhang Li smiled and nodded, and led Lotus and Li Jiani to the private room on the second floor.
The people who were queuing watched Zhang Li being invited to the second floor by the manager, obviously not waiting like them. Someone showed a look of envy, but no one questioned, didn't you hear the name of others? Mr. Zhang, no matter what the boss is, he is always the boss!
In the private room, the manager beckoned the waiter to order, and he left with a few polite words, Zhang Li ordered a few things at random, and gave them to the two children. Lotus knew that Li Jiani was easily nervous and shy, so she took the menu and looked at it, and asked her how she was doing.
Slowly, Li Jiani also let go a little and was able to chat with Zhang Li normally. The lotus flower was busy roasting meat throughout the whole process, occasionally saying a word. The atmosphere at the dinner table became more and more lively, Li Jiani ate the food that the lotus made for herself, and she felt warm in her heart!
After dinner, Zhang Li drove Li Jiani home, her home is not far away, and it is also an emerging community. But it's more affordable, and it's modest in terms of price and size.
"Auntie, it's here, thank you."
Zhang Li nodded, glanced at the lotus, and motioned for him to help Li Jiani open the door.
Lotus got out of the car, opened the door, looked at Li Jiani, and said with a smile: "I'll see you in a few days." ”
"Yes, goodbye." Li Jiani answered softly, and slowly turned around and entered the building.
"This little girl is good, she studies quite well, and she looks good." Zhang Li said to Lotus while driving, of course she could see that the two children had a good impression of each other, but she didn't have anything to worry about. First of all, the child is still young, and secondly, the academic performance is so good that it will not affect anything, the family conditions are getting better and better, the mood is good, the mentality is good, and the perspective of looking at things is different. Besides, the child Lotus is becoming more and more sensible, she really has nothing to worry about.
"Well, Li Jiani is quite good."
Contrary to Zhang Li's expectations, Lotus said something positive to Li Jiani.
Zhang Li laughed, thinking that the lotus flowers like little adults were very cute, but she didn't think about it deeply.
Grandma's house is on the third floor, the house has been built for an unknown number of years, and the neighbors are familiar with each other. Zhang Li slowly drove the car downstairs, and several old people who were chatting in the yard looked at a car that looked very luxurious parked here, and they all stopped gossiping, looking at it curiously.
"Yo, isn't this Xiao Zhangli, it's out, it's out."
When Zhang Li heard this, she looked up and saw that it was Aunt Zhang, the next-door neighbor of her mother's house. The relationship is usually very close, and she was often taken care of by Aunt Zhang when she was a child.
"It's okay, it's okay, Aunt Zhang, how are you doing? How's the body? Zhang Li hurriedly talked to Aunt Zhang, and the uncles and aunts next to her also came over curiously, and interjected a few words while looking at the car.
Seeing this situation, Lotus knew that her mother would not be able to leave for a while, so she greeted her mother, shouted a few words of hello to her grandparents, and ran upstairs. After his grandmother opened the door for him, he rushed in.
"This kid is shocked." Grandma smiled and scolded, "Have you eaten?" Where's your mother? ”
"After eating, my mother is talking to Grandma Zhang next door outside." Lotus returned while watching TV.
"Then you watch TV, and I'll go down and chatter." As soon as Grandma heard Lotus say this, she couldn't help it, put on her shoes and closed the door and went downstairs.
Lotus looked at her grandmother who was hurrying downstairs and was speechless for a while. About half an hour later, Zhang Li came back with the old man, and her grandmother looked suspicious.
The two of them entered the house, and when they closed the door, their grandmother hurriedly asked, "What's going on with the car?" When did you buy it, and what are you doing now?"
After the old man finished speaking, Zhang Li slowly told her about the things of the past six months, and the lotus occasionally added, and the matter became that the small clothing store went out at the beginning, Zhang Li used the money to make some investments, and then it got bigger and bigger, and later opened a shopping mall, and the car was just bought.
The old man was dumbfounded, he had always thought that his girl had made some money and that his conditions were a little better. But today I found out, where is this point? Millions of cars, shopping malls thinking about it, the old man left tears, his own girl was angry, it turned out that he was worried that the lotus and his father would leave early, and the girl's family would be difficult, but I didn't expect it, it was really out of luck!
"Mom, will you stay with me for a few days?" Zhang Li suggested. Although the old house is not bad, it is still very different from the environment of the villa.
Lotus heard her mother say this, and also said, "Yes, grandma, my mother is very busy all day, and no one cooks." ”
When the old man heard that his grandson couldn't eat well, he didn't hesitate and agreed.
"Alright then, I'll go and enjoy the blessings too." Grandma touched the lotus's head and smiled.
That night, after notifying relatives, Lotus and Zhang Li welcomed the old man to their home.
