Linhuai south by the majestic Qinshan, north of the Huaijiang River, the mountains and rivers, the momentum is extraordinary, it is the dragon vein in Feng Shui, since ancient times, it is the place where the soldiers must fight. The mighty Huai River, galloping for thousands of miles, thus flowing into the East China Sea, so it is named "Linhuai", and it is the provincial capital of Jianghuai Province, an economically strong province in East China.

Since the reform and opening up, the rapid development of Linhuai's industry, relying on convenient transportation, formed a three-dimensional transportation network of water, land and air, Linhuai International Airport flights can fly directly to more than 100 countries in the world, the Beijing-Hong Kong railway runs through the whole territory of Jianghuai, the materials of the provinces in central China flow down the Huaijiang River, and then go to sea from the port, the name of Linhuai resounded all over the world for a while, and became a pivotal transportation hub in the mainland, just like the appearance of an international metropolis.

Jiang Li took Jiang Xiaoxi out of the guest house, got on the bus, and after a few stops, got off near the department store.

"Wow, this building is so high, how many floors do I count? The tallest building in our hometown is only 12 floors! ”

The "Jianghuai International Financial Center" opposite the department store building is a landmark building in Linhuai, with a height of 338 meters and a total of 79 floors. Jiang Xiaoxi saw such a tall building for the first time, and couldn't help but be amazed, and he was dazzled, and he didn't figure out whether it was 77 or 78 floors?

Looking at his sister's appearance of "Grandma Liu's first entry into the Grand View Garden", Jiang Li couldn't help but feel a little sad, and said silently in his heart, "It's useless for me to be an elder brother, my sister has grown so big, and I haven't been able to take her around." In the future, I will redouble my efforts to make the creek go all over the world, see the most beautiful scenery, wear the best clothes, live in the most luxurious houses, and eat the sweetest food! ”

The location of the department store is the commercial center of Linhuai City, with many shops on the pedestrian street, high-rise buildings rising from the ground, row upon row, only making Jiang Xiaoxi dizzy.

"Alas, the city is really lively, but it's a pity that I couldn't bring my parents with me." Jiang Xiaoxi looked all the way east and west, and when he opened his eyes, he said with regret.

Jiang Li touched his sister's head lovingly: "Xiaoxi, don't worry, when I have money in the future, I will definitely buy a house here, so that you and your parents can live in this city every day." ”

Jiang Xiaoxi smiled and gave his brother a thumbs up: "Well, brother, come on, you study so well, you will definitely be able to find a good job in the provincial capital after graduation, and then buy a house." ”

Jiang Li smiled and said nothing. The heart said, don't say that your brother has been expelled from school, even if he successfully gets his graduation certificate, with my second-class education, I can find a job with a monthly salary of five or six thousand, which is very good. The houses in this neighborhood are the highest housing prices in Linhuai, close to 30,000 yuan per square meter, and it takes 2.4 million yuan to buy an 80-square-meter house, even if you don't eat or drink, you have to save for more than 40 years......

"Let's go to the mall."

Jiang Li took Jiang Xiaoxi into the mall, upstairs and downstairs around, only to see Jiang Xiaoxi dazzled, a strong chatter, everything is a good thing, but it is too expensive, a dress costs thousands of yuan, it is really too luxurious.

Jiang Li didn't explain much, for a rural girl like Jiang Xiaoxi who came to the metropolis for the first time, clothes for thousands of yuan were indeed considered luxury, not to mention those famous brands that cost tens of thousands at every turn.

"Xiaoxi, you wait for me here, I'll go to the bathroom for convenience."

When he was about to leave, Jiang Li felt a little anxious, and when he walked to the door, he asked Xiaoxi to wait for him near the clock counter, and then turned around and went to the bathroom.

After entering the bathroom, Jiang Li, who was only going to urinate, felt the need to squat for a while, and five minutes later, after finishing his congratulations, he walked out of the bathroom with a relaxed body and returned to the same place to find his sister. When I was about to get to the front, I saw her standing in front of the clock counter with red eyes from a distance, and the salesman behind the counter was sarcastically mocking her.

"At first glance, it's a rural girl, you say you can't afford it, and you pretend to try it on, it's really not a shame!" The salesman with a thick foundation on his face and a long face like a horse face chattered.

Jiang Li walked quickly to him and asked, "Xiaoxi, what's wrong?" ”

Jiang Xiaoxi had red eyes, lowered his head and muttered: "I'm idle, looking at the watch inside is very beautiful, I thought the price was 110 yuan, so I asked the salesperson to take it out and try it, it turned out to be ...... 11000, people are impatient, so they complain, it's okay, it's all because I didn't read it carefully, I'll apologize to others! ”

"What an apology!"

Jiang Li grabbed Jiang Xiaoxi, who was about to bend down to apologize, and said angrily to the salesperson: "What? Who says you can't try on a watch? Is this the quality of a salesperson in a department store? ”

Some people just bully the soft and are afraid of the hard, the more you whisper to her, the more she steps on her nose and face, you are tough with her, but she is soft.

The salesman glanced at Jiang Li, knew that he was at a loss, snorted, and muttered quietly: "It's not that you can't try, if it breaks, what compensation will you take?" ”

Jiang Li was furious: "What did you say? There was a loud noise, I couldn't hear it. Who told you to judge people by their appearance, I'm going to call your manager and ask, is this the quality of the salesperson in the department store? ”

Seeing that Jiang Li was furious and wanted to go to the manager, the salesman was scared, lowered his head and stopped talking.

Opposite this counter is another brand of watch counter, a salesman who looks to be twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a chestnut-colored mid-length pear blossom hairstyle, a charming temperament, and a sense of figure and surname, walked over and bowed to Jiang Li: "Sir, please dissipate your anger, Sister Zhang has some troublesome things at home today, she is in a bad mood, and she said the wrong thing, please don't be like him." ”

Jiang Li is not the kind of small-bellied chicken intestines that are unforgiving, especially the beautiful beauty who came out to apologize, how can she be a little gentlemanly, nodded: "This kind of speech is the quality that an excellent salesperson should have, forget it, look at your face, this matter is settled." ”

"Thank you, sir. My name is Zhou Ying, if you come to my counter when you buy a watch, I will definitely give you the lowest discount. The beautiful female saleswoman bowed to Jiang Li again and thanked her, fully demonstrating the difference between an excellent salesperson and a low-quality salesperson.

"Okay."

Jiang Li agreed, took Jiang Xiaoxi's hand and left the clock area, and then walked out of the department store.

If he had 10,000 yuan in his hand now, Jiang Li would definitely buy a watch without hesitation and humiliate the horse-faced salesman who looked down on people. A daughter is valuable, face is priceless, and this kind of person who doesn't look down on himself must be slapped in the face!

If he has a million in his hand now, Jiang Li will definitely contract this counter without hesitation, if the money is enough; Then let the salesman who looks down on people in the crack of this door get out, and let him know the truth of not bullying young people to be poor!

Although Jiang Li was depressed in his heart, Jiang Xiaoxi, who was surnamed Ge Ge Lang, did not take this matter to heart, and still happily browsed the scenery on the street, looking at this store for a while, and seeing which shopping mall for a while, and he was tired of shopping.

Seeing a McDonald's on the side of the road, Jiang Li pulled Jiang Xiaoxi and said, "It's noon, let's go in for dinner." ”

"Uh...... Isn't it expensive? Jiang Xiaoxi pinched his chin and asked reservedly.

"No, twenty or thirty dollars is enough."

Jiang Li didn't wait for Jiang Xiaoxi to say anything, pulled her into the store, and then let her wait in the seat, and went to the counter to buy two 59 yuan set meals. Jiang Xiaoxi has liked to eat bread pastries since she was a child, which is why Jiang Li took her to McDonald's.

Drinking cola, eating chicken legs, and French fries, Jiang Xiaoxi ate with relish. Jiang Li didn't like these Western foods too much, so he ate half of them himself and gave the rest to his sister.

"I can't eat it anymore, you can eat it yourself."

In order to save money, Jiang Xiaoxi didn't eat breakfast, and his stomach was now half full, but seeing that his brother had left half of it for himself, he knew that he wanted to let himself eat more, so he couldn't bear to rush to eat it, so he pushed it in front of his brother again.

Jiang Li sank his face and said: "If you want to eat, you will eat, my brother has a classmate who has a birthday today, and I have a share of 100 yuan, and I will go to the restaurant to eat back in the evening." Besides, I don't like to eat Western food, if you don't eat it, it will be wasted. ”

"Okay, then I'll eat it."

Hearing his brother say this, Jiang Xiaoxi was no longer polite, pulled Jiang Li's leftover chicken legs and hamburgers in front of him, a gust of wind swept the clouds, and it didn't take much effort to eat them all, wiped his mouth with a napkin and said: "It's so big, it's the first time I eat McDonald's, it's really delicious!" ”

Jiang Li didn't think McDonald's was delicious, but looking at his sister's satisfied appearance, he felt a sense of pride in being an older brother.

It's just that when Jiang Xiaoxi saw the bill that Jiang Li accidentally lost, he nagged all the way in distress: "It turns out that this meal cost more than 100 yuan?" What a waste. More than 100 yuan can buy a big rooster in our hometown, what a waste! ”

"Hehe, can a big rooster taste McDonald's? Besides, my brother recently gave out a lot of bonuses, and it's nothing to be extravagant once in a while, who made you my sister! Jiang Li touched the five hundred yuan in his trouser pocket and said pretendingly.

Jiang Xiaoxi believed it and cheered: "Really? Brother is amazing! ”

Jiang Li smiled and nodded: "Of course, don't look at who I am, I'm Jiang Xiaoxi's brother." ”

"Hmph, make fun of me again. How many scholarships have you given out? Jiang Xiaoxi believed his brother's words, and it was not uncommon for universities to issue scholarships these days, so he asked happily.

Jiang Li pretended to be mysterious and said: "Keep it secret, but I can buy you a beloved gift!" ”

Jiang Xiaoxi sighed and said, "I don't want any gifts, in order to treat me, my family borrowed a lot of debt." My brother kept the scholarship to study hard, and the money I earned was used to pay off the debt. ”

Jiang Li comforted his sister and said, "Xiaoxi, don't worry, my brother will help you pay off your debts in the future, don't worry." ”

"Brother, what do you want? Mom and Dad don't allow you to come out to work, in their hearts they just want you to finish college well, Dad said, even if you smash the pot and sell iron, they won't let you work and study, that would delay your studies too much. Jiang Xiaoxi misunderstood Jiang Li's intentions and said anxiously.

Listening to Jiang Xiaoxi's words, Jiang Li was ashamed and hated to find a mouse hole to get into. I'm still studying well, I've been expelled from school, and I'm still reading a woolen book, but I can't be blamed for this, it's all the fault of the "second generation official" bastard surnamed Wu!;
