Chapter 118: A lot of gifts
Walking all the way home, when she entered the house, she met Mrs. Celine cleaning the house, and she was a little surprised to see Barry come back at this time.
"Why did you go home so early today? You didn't play with your classmates? Have you eaten out yet? Do you want me to make you one now? ”
Barry was caught off guard by a barrage of questions and had to answer them one by one in order.
"Today I just went to inform if there was any fitness activity, so I came back soon, but my friends need to continue exercising, so I will come back first."
"I've eaten with my classmates at the club, so I don't have to cook, and I'll be savoring your craft in the evening."
After replying to Mrs. Celine's questioning little by little, Barry was afraid that he would get caught up in other inquiries, so he hurriedly went upstairs, intending to hide in his nest.
Picking out the literature on the desk, Barry plans to read it well, add a little reading to himself, and make himself able to have a full stomach.
Immerse yourself in the story in the book, and before you know it, time flies, and when Barry closes the book, the sun is about to set outside.
That is to say, Barry has the ability to control the flames and is very resistant to temperature, so he can read quietly in this summer, otherwise it is a torment to just sit and read.
The book Barry had just read was called "The Praise of the Light," and it was a book that the previous master had bought as an extracurricular reading.
I thought it was a book describing the beautiful love of adolescence, after all, this is the style that high school students like with a budding spring heart, but I didn't expect it to describe the changes in the lives of the people at the bottom during the development of the Federation.
"Yo! It seems that no matter in that world, people who write books always like to explore human nature. ”
After reading the whole book, this is Barry's biggest emotion, as for how Barry thinks of praising others elegantly and not with dignity, there is no description in this book.
To be honest, Barry didn't like this kind of book, because in his previous life, he was also considered to be in the middle and lower class of society, and he had also experienced all kinds of red dust, and he also had his own opinions on various things, after all, as an orphan, he was more sensitive to certain aspects.
So he scoffed at empty philosophies and the discussion of human nature on the keyboard, and Barry thought that he could never write a truly shocking work without experiencing it himself, relying only on hearsay and so-called information.
And this book is obviously like this, even if Barry has only been in the world for less than a month and has not been exposed to many things in this world, he can see that there are many mistakes in this book.
Barry even guessed that the book was written by a rich kid who didn't know anything about the world, based on his own one-sided perception, and Barry looked at the cover of the book, which said Federal First Press.
"I didn't run away."
When Barry was chatting with Marcus earlier, Marcus boasted that he had a cousin who had published a book, and that was the publisher he was referring to.
But Morgan on the side directly pierced him, telling Barry that although the name of the publishing house is very powerful, in fact, as long as there is money, it can be published, and it only survives by earning the author's money, and gradually develops and grows.
Barry was shocked when he heard it, he had never been exposed to this industry, so he didn't know that he could still play like this, it was a genius idea.
As for why Barry's predecessor bought this book, either he didn't know the content at all, or Barry's predecessor lost his mind, and his brainwaves matched the book.
"I wasted another afternoon, I was so happy, and I had a good time without the pressure of life."
Barry sighed casually, then glanced out the window and happened to see Ronald's classic car, slowly driving in the direction of home.
Just as Barry continued to look for books on the shelves, he suddenly heard Mrs. Celine's call, as if to ask him to go down and help.
Barry put the books on his desk back in place and slowly walked downstairs, finding the Ronalds moving things into the house at the door.
And when Ronald saw Barry coming down, he directly called: "Barry, go and help me move all the things out of the car, there are all gifts I bought today, and I need you to take them to Windmill Town tomorrow." ”
Barry walked to the car and pulled out two bags from inside, although he couldn't see what was inside, but he didn't think it would be very light just by feeling it.
"You are holding two quartz clocks in your hands, be careful not to break them."
After admonishing Barry, Ronald opened the trunk again and dragged out a lady's bicycle from it, the pink color looks very cute, and the shape is also very beautiful and exquisite.
"You will bring this tomorrow with you, your grandmother has a few of your cousins, and they will love this gift."
While the gift of a bicycle was somewhat unexpected, Barry wasn't surprised, as bicycles are still a new thing, and only middle-class families or above buy them in Bauhinia Market.
Even wealthy families like Marcus and Morgan had to park their bikes at Barry's house on their last outing to prevent them from being lost.
And for a remote town like Windmill Town, I'm afraid the first wave of bicycles hasn't blown yet, and the appearance of such a bicycle at this time is definitely enough to pull the wind.
Then Mrs. Celine and Barry each took a few more bags and went back and forth several times before finally taking all the gifts prepared by Ronald into the house.
Fashionable clothes, skirts, shoes, silver accessories, delicate bags, chocolates and sweets, other snack bags, large bicycles, quartz watches, and a few women's watches.
Although I don't know the specific price of these things, just looking at the packaging on the outside, the exquisite shape, and the huge quantity, Barry estimated slightly, at least Ronald will have to pay more than a month's salary.
And Ronald's monthly salary is quite a lot, at least the windfall that Barry got before is less than Ronald's half-year salary, which can also be seen that Ronald is really concerned this time.
Barry could see it, and Mrs. Celine could naturally see the energy that Ronald spent, and regardless of Barry being on the side, she kissed Ronald on the face, which was a small reward for him.
"Husband, you are so good, giving so many gifts, now my mother and my other sisters will not say that I have never come home and do not care about them."
Celine's father died at an early age, and she now has two older sisters and a younger sister in the family, but none of those three sisters have married far away, but have started families in Windmill Town and surrounding towns.
Although there are only a few women in the family, life is still very good, at least in the area around Windmill Town, it is considered to be in the upper middle class, and the relatives are relatively united, and the overall family atmosphere is very good.
That is, Mrs. Celine went to college, her vision was relatively high, and she didn't want to stay in a remote town all the time, so she married Ronald and worked hard in the city.
At first, she struggled with her husband, and when Ronald's career improved and she became pregnant with Barry, she quit her job and focused on taking care of her children at home, focusing on Barry's growth.
