Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Magical Two Robbers
When he was about to leave the stadium, Zhang Cheng remembered that his aunt and cousin were coming, and his cousin was going to go to a foreign language school to study English in a few days. Immediately, Zhang Cheng and Jenny changed the car keys, drove Jenny's Chevrolet, went to the supermarket first, bought meat, vegetables, fruits, and drinks and filled the two shopping carts before they were satisfied.
Anyway, if you go, you have to rub it off, and Zhang Cheng, who can be compared with his aunt's craftsmanship, thinks that there is only his mother left in the whole world. Thinking of my aunt and cousin who don't seem to have the habit of wearing jewelry, this is not good, how can the economy develop like this in the long run, and the jewelry industry is going to be depressed.
When I got out of the supermarket, I turned around and went to the jewelry store. The jewelry store here in Reno relies on the tourists brought by the tourism industry to support the development is not bad, and Zhang Cheng is dazzled by the various styles of jewelry.
After the clerk asked Zhang Cheng who he wanted to buy jewelry, he recommended that Zhang Cheng buy necklaces or earrings, brooches, bracelets, hairpins and the like, because not everyone can give a jade pendant like a ring. Under the recommendation of the clerk, Zhang Cheng bought two good-looking purple pearl necklaces, and the price of artificially cultured pearls was not expensive, and the price of a single pearl was 498 US dollars.
Speaking of less than 500, this is also a common method used by merchants, that is, the goods with a higher value must not be marked as integers, and the psychological prices of 99 US dollars and 100 US dollars in the hearts of customers are tens of yuan and hundreds of yuan respectively.
When I arrived at my aunt's rented house, I rang the doorbell, and after entering, my aunt looked at the full trunk and blamed again: "What are you buying so much now, there is no promotion discount at this time." ”
"I finally found time to come once, after today, the grapes will be harvested, and the school will open after the grape harvest." Zhang Cheng, who was carrying things into the kitchen, said.
My aunt asked, "You have taken the driver's license, do you still go to the vineyard to work and drive after school?" It's not far off. ”
"I don't go to work in the vineyard after school, Jenny, it's the Yanma who went to pick you up last time who changed jobs, it's the coach of the women's soccer team, and I work part-time as an assistant for her."
"Oh, how fast a foreigner can change jobs. Did she play soccer before? ”
"No, I heard that I had been a translator for coaches, and the team owner didn't know how Lu Dao remembered that there was a story in Europe about a translator who became a legendary coach, so he made Jenny the head coach. I also want to replicate the success. ”
Zhang Cheng changed the subject: "How is my cousin learning foreign languages?" ”
Auntie: "The progress of the leaves is very fast, most of them can understand when they first come, but they speak slowly, and now I have lived for more than a month and communicate with others in English every day, and the speed of speech has also come up, and I can understand the longer sentences I say now, that is, I speak slowly." ”
The aunt said again: "Xiao Cheng, you can study hard after school, don't patronize part-time jobs to make money, you have your parents at home, and I here." ”
"I know, but before you go to college in the United States, ask what kind of social activities you have done. For example, high school football stars and basketball stars are more popular. The worst ones must have distributed newspapers or worked odd jobs at McDonald's to be considered qualified. At that time, you will know that Ye Zi may also go to McDonald's to work. My parents also said that when they were young, they would go to the mountains on Sundays to collect pigweed and sell it at the market, and a large basket would only sell for five cents. ”
My aunt said: "At that time, we were poor in our family, and many children were forced to live, so you don't have to suffer this crime now." Saying that only those who endure hardships can become superior people, that is all because the ruling class of the old society deceived the common people into being content with poverty and did not want to rebel. My grandfather was a man from the old society, he had farmed, carried a gun, worked as a carpenter, a bricklayer, and suffered all his life, but he didn't see anyone become a master. ”
Zhang Cheng asked, "What about the leaves?" ”
"The backyard is soaking, turning on the air conditioning is not good for the body, as soon as the weather is hot, she wears a swimsuit and soaks in it to listen to English music. Go and ask her to talk to you, and I'll cook for you." ”
"Hey." Zhang Cheng answered and went to find his cousin.
When I arrived in the backyard, my cousin was lying on an inflatable cushion listening to music, and Zhang Chengxin said: I said that I would soak for a long time, but it turned out that it could still be like this.
Cousin Ye Zi saw Zhang Cheng: "Cousin, it's only been so long to come once." Do you think you've lost it? ”
"Don't you have a phone, you miss me and call."
Yezi: "I'm also busy, busy studying during the day and catching up on sleep at night. ”
"I thought you were busy eating during the day and sleeping at night?"
Ye Zi was furious when he heard this, compared himself with the pig, and immediately launched a wave of water offensive.
"Don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss." Zhang Cheng said: "I also bought you a gift, don't forget it." ”
"Gifts." Ye Zi's eyes lit up when he heard this: "What gift?" ”
Ye Zi said and paddled to the edge of the pool, Zhang Cheng took out the box containing the necklace: "Open it yourself." ”
When the leaves were opened, dozens of round purple pearls were worn together and lying quietly in the box. Ye Zi said in surprise: "This is a pearl, a pearl necklace." I'll go change my clothes. ”
"Woman." Zhang Cheng went to the living room to watch TV alone, and he was left alone. Zhang Cheng found that if a woman was asked to make a choice between clothes, jewelry, shoes, bags and her husband, it would be more difficult than a man's wife and mother falling into the water.
When the aunt's meal was cooked, the cousin leaf had not come down yet, and the aunt asked, "Where are the leaves?" ”
"Went in and changed."
"Dead girl. Hurry up, I'll be waiting for you. ”
"Oh, I'll do it right away."
After a while, the meal was ready, and the cousin changed into a dress with a V-neckline, and Shi Shiran came out.
After my cousin sat down for a while, my aunt saw that something was wrong: "When did you buy the necklace?" I haven't seen you bring it. ”
The cousin betrayed the cousin for the first time: "The cousin sent it." ”
"Ha Luha, I happened to pass by the jewelry store today." Zhang Cheng took out another box: "Auntie, yours." ”
My aunt asked: "This is the real thing, I thought it was a plastic craft, why did you say you bought this for children?" ”
Ye Zi looked aggrieved: Although my breasts are a little smaller and my butt is smaller than that of a Yanma, I am no longer small.
"Now pearls are cultured and not expensive. In the future, Ye Zi will attend a classmate's birthday party or something, and he can't have no jewelry at all, and this is more important here. ”
"Yes." Ye Zi nodded hurriedly, seeing that his mother's face was displeased, he immediately changed his words and said, "Mom, you can also wear it." ”
"My clothes ......"
Zhang Cheng also said: "This dress is very suitable. My aunt has a good foundation. Zhang Cheng didn't want to wait for his aunt to change her clothes for an hour.
After putting it on, my aunt asked, "How is it?" ”
"It's good-looking, and it's particularly suitable." "Jeweled, graceful and luxurious." Zhang Cheng and Ye Zi began to pat themselves without hesitation.
The aunt was modest: "How can there be, in a few years, it will be an old woman with wrinkles." ”
Ye Zi: "Mom, you can't think like that, you're only thirty-six, and those thirty-six leftover girls still haven't married." If you want to be like them, you have to find me a stepfather who is rich and has no children. ”
The aunt was angry: "Children don't worry about adults' hearts, eat." ”
"Oh." The leaves bury their heads in eating meat, and only eat a little bit of rice and vegetables.
Zhang Cheng can somehow guess what is on his aunt's mind, eighty percent of them have been holding back to be a junior for their father since she was a child, but the main room is her own sister, and she is not too embarrassed to start. My family is not an expensive circle, why is it so messy.
After eating, I was about to clean up the table, only to hear two sounds of "poof" and "poof" in the courtyard, as if something had fallen in. The three of them got up and looked into the courtyard through the window, only to hear the door "bang" open.
As the door was slammed open, the two men rushed into the living room. The three of them turned their heads in unison to see that these two people were dressed strangely, wearing the No. 23 Bulls basketball jersey, with a football helmet on their heads, and from the exposed skin they were two black men, one of whom had a baseball bat in his hand and the other had an ice hockey bat in his hand.
Zhang Cheng was also dizzy when he saw it, what kind of trouble was this.
Two black men came in and one shouted, "Robbery." Another shouted, "$20 per person." ”
It is easy to say that it is easy to rob with two burning sticks, and it is really brave to take two burning sticks to rob. Zhang Cheng said in Chinese to his sister-in-law and cousin behind him: "Retreat to the house, there are guns there." ”
PS: It's been a long time since I've been chatting with friends in the afternoon, and the update is a little late, but now the status has come.
