Chapter 14: A birthday present for Jiang Yu
A few days after Christmas is New Year's Day, although Christmas is not very happy, but New Year's Day is a legal holiday, so the school has to be closed. Although it is not long before the final exam, Wen Li feels that it is more important to be happy!
"Wen Li~ It's time to get up, Zhu Ying is coming to you!" Li Li shouted at the door of Wen Li's room.
"Why don't you go to school today?" Wen Li rolled over and went back to sleep.
"Wen Li is about to get up, and he has something to do today." Zhu Ying went directly to the door and lifted Wen Li's quilt.
"What's the matter, it's early in the morning." Wen Li wrapped the quilt again.
"New Year's Day is our last holiday before our final exams."
"I know, so I'm enjoying it."
"Enjoy, we've got to go buy a gift!" Zhu Ying lifted Wen Li's quilt again.
"Gifts? Who to buy a gift for? Wen Li sat up with a puzzled expression.
"Isn't it Jiang Yu's birthday after the final exam! What's the matter with you. Zhu Ying took off Wen Li's blindfold.
The moment the blindfold was removed, Wen Li's eyes were stimulated by the light and couldn't open them.
"Isn't that still early?"
"Then you don't prepare now, you have to review before the final exam."
Wen Li thought about it, and what Zhu Ying said was right, he would definitely not have time to go out again.
"Okay, you wait for me to wash up."
"Hurry up, I'll wait for you."
After cleaning up briefly, Wen Li was pulled to the mall by Zhu Ying without even bothering to eat breakfast. Originally, Wen Li was not interested, but it was true that he hadn't visited the mall for a long time, and as soon as he came in, he felt a strong festive atmosphere, and he felt good!
"What are you going to send to Jiang Yu?" Wen Li asked.
"I didn't think about it, I gave a music box last year, but then I found out that it wasn't practical at all!"
"I gave him the cup last year, but I haven't seen him use it." Wen Li scratched his hair.
"Aren't you the cups you give every year?" Zhu Ying looked puzzled.
"Is there one?"
I have to say here that Wen Li likes cups very much, but her mother doesn't allow her to buy so much, so she can only pick her favorite cups and give them every year.
"Please! The gifts you give every year are cups, and they are all your favorites, and there is nothing new at all. ”
"What's the matter, those cups are very special!"
"Yes, it's very fragile." Zhu Ying complained.
"Huh? You broke the cup I sent? ”
"Uh... Let's take a look at the shop in front of us. ”
"You ····· man"
Before Wen Li finished speaking, Zhu Ying pulled Wen Li and walked towards the boutique in front.
looked around and found that most of the things in the store were things that girls liked, and there seemed to be nothing to buy to send Jiang Yu. Just as he was about to leave, Wen Li suddenly found that Shen Yi, who was checking out, was at the same table with him, so he happily stopped him.
"Xueba, Xueba!"
Shen Yi didn't react at first that it was Wen Li, but he felt that the voice was a little familiar, until Wen Li pulled Zhu Ying closer.
"Wen Li, why are you here?"
"Come buy a birthday present for your friend, how about you?"
"Come and buy gifts for you and Chunxiao, they all said yes." Shen Yi said with a smile.
"You're really relieved, just said it casually at the time." Wen Li smiled embarrassedly.
"You can't eat your apples for nothing, don't you!"
"Harm! It's just an apple, and it's not packaged yet. Speaking of this, Wen Li was even more embarrassed.
"I'll interject, since you all know each other, I'd like to ask about something, okay?" Zhu Ying really felt that it was a waste of time to blindly look for gifts, so she wanted to ask them.
"Okay, you say." Although I don't know each other, but if I am with Wen Li, it should have a good relationship, Shen Yi thought so, so he agreed.
"What kind of gifts do you boys usually like right now?"
"Ah~ a gift? I really haven't thought about this, what about you, Wang Nan? Shen Yi asked.
"I think the sneakers are great, but if they were a little more special, it would be even better!"
"yes, boys should like it." Shen Yi agreed.
"I haven't given the sneakers yet, so you can think about it." Zhu Ying was satisfied with this answer.
"Alright, let's go shopping again, let's go first!" Wen Li said.
"Is it for Jiang Yu?" Shen Yi asked tentatively.
"Well, his birthday after the final exam." Wen Li replied.
"Okay, let's go shopping, Wang Nan and I will leave first, bye-bye!"
"Okay, goodbye, Xueba!"
Shen Yi waved his hand at Wen Li and left.
"Hey, I remember, he's Shen Yi who said hello at the school gate last time, right?" Zhu Ying asked.
"That's right, our class is a top student, and it's also my ······"
"Stop, stop here, let's go to the sneaker store first!"
Feeling that Wen Li was going to say a lot more, Zhu Ying immediately took her to the shoes and hats store on the third floor.
As soon as she got off the escalator, she saw a trendy brand store, and Zhu Ying directly pulled Wen Li in.
"Hello and welcome!" Before they even entered the store, the clerk greeted them warmly.
"We want to buy a pair of sneakers, do you have any recommendations?" Zhu Ying got straight to the point.
"May I ask who is wearing it?"
"Oh, for a boy." Wen Li replied.
"Men's? Come here, our new shoe happens to be 2,000 percent off recently. ”
As soon as he heard this, Wen Li wanted to pull Zhu Ying away, for Wen Li in his first year of high school, two thousand yuan is simply an astronomical amount, okay, Wen Li's pocket money for a week is only one hundred. But Zhu Ying seemed to be iron-hearted, completely ignoring Wen Li's hints.
"You see that these shoes are our new style, and there are other designs on the basis of the classic ones, and now there are activities, which is quite cost-effective."
The clerk's young lady introduced it enthusiastically, but in Wen Li's opinion, it was a kind of torture, so she kept trying to pull Zhu Ying away.
"Then this pair, please take a pair of forty-one and a half yards." Zhu Ying said firmly.
"No, you're not looking at anything else?" Wen Li looked surprised.
"No, this pair is very good-looking, and Jiang Yu shouldn't like too fancy."
"But this double discount will cost two thousand seven! With the New Year's money, I only brought a total of 1,303. ”
"It's okay, I've got a lot of them."
"Isn't it just a birthday! How can you be so expensive. Wen Li didn't understand.
"The mug he gave you last year was specially made by his uncle's friend!"
"The cup he gave me was pretty good, yes, but ······"
Looking at Zhu Ying's firm eyes, Wen Li couldn't say any more. Thinking about Jiang Yu, although he occasionally makes cheap mistakes, he is generally not bad to himself, especially the gifts he gave on his birthday. Forget it, let's just spend the money on the blade!
"Buy it, it's all my belongings!" Wen Li handed over one thousand three to Zhu Ying.
"Thank you for the shot!" Zhu Ying took the money and went to the counter to pay.
"Walk slowly, welcome next time!"
"Thank you!" Wen Li replied with a smirk.
Looking at the packaging bag in Zhu Ying's hand, and thinking about the fact that she has to run out of food in the past few days, it is really uncomfortable to death.
"But little piggy, how do you know that Jiang Yu's shoe size is forty-one and a half sizes?" Wen Li wanted to ask just now, but Zhu Ying directly said Jiang Yu's shoe size without thinking about it at that time.
"What's so difficult about this, you can calculate it according to the height shoe size conversion formula, and I also specially bought half a size larger, even if there is an error, I am not afraid!"
"Huh? Is there a formula for this? ”
"What do you say you're learning day by day? I don't know anything. Zhu Ying couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"I'm not good at math, and you don't know."
"I really can't help you!"
"Piggy, wait a minute!"
While Zhu Ying was talking, Wen Li glanced at the window of the stationery store, and then saw a very beautiful bottle.
"Let's go to that store, that bottle is so beautiful!"
As he spoke, he took Zhu Ying to the store.
As soon as I wanted to reach out and pick it up, I found a warning written next to it that said "No Touching", so I had to give up. Looking at the price tag of one hundred and twenty-nine, Wen Li, who originally wanted to buy, could only look at it.
"This is Chinese-style color ink, and the colors are beautiful! And the matching inkwell goes well with the ink. The clerk introduced.
"Can you sell this bottle as a stand-alone bottle?" Wen Li asked.
"Yes, the unit price of the bottle is twenty-nine, and you can exchange it for a 10 ml ink sample for an extra dollar."
"Then please get one for me!" Wen Li said with a smile.
"Okay, please go to the cashier and pay the bill."
Wen Li took the bottle and walked to the cash register.
"Isn't Auntie the most annoying for you to buy this bottle and can!" Zhu Ying couldn't help but remind.
"I said that it was to send Jiang Yu, wouldn't it!"
In fact, Wen Li originally bought it with the intention of sending Jiang Yu, and Wen Li was used to this feeling. Mom didn't allow her to buy these bottles and cans, saying that it took up space and was not easy to clean, so every time she saw a good-looking cup or ceramic thing, her first reaction was either to send Jiang Yu or Zhu Ying, which was really humble.
"Hello, please get the small ticket and welcome to the next visit!"
"Thank you!" Wen Li responded politely.
As soon as she walked to the community, Zhu Ying gave her shoes to Wen Li.
"Huh? What do you mean? Wen Li looked puzzled.
"My mom is not on duty today, and my mom knows that I spent so much money on these sneakers, and she can't beat me to death!"
"Then aren't you afraid that my mother will beat me to death? How femme fatale you woman. ”
"No, you just say that I bought it as a gift for Jiang Yu, Auntie won't ask more, and if it's not good, you can say that the price is cheaper."
"That's a great idea!" Wen Li smirked again.
Although he was disgusted, he obediently took his shoes home.
"What did you buy for Jiang Yu, I went all morning." As soon as she entered the door, Li Li asked.
"The shoes that Zhu Ying bought, the inkwell I bought." Wen Li replied honestly.
"Yo, it cost a lot of money, right?" Li Li asked.
"No, after the shoe is discounted, it is more than three hundred, and the inkwell is only twenty-nine." Wen Li said weakly.
"It's okay, if you look at Zhu Ying, you know how to buy practical things, and you know that you can give away bottles and cans, not to mention that they are not practical, and they are easy to break."
"Oh okay, I'll send him something else next time."
didn't dare to say anything, Wen Li went back to the room directly with his shoes and inkwell.
Closing the door, Wen Li exhaled a big breath, his heart was pounding, and it didn't feel good to lie at all.
