However, Qi Min happened to have done psychological construction and decided to take Anton home to meet his parents, and it was better for Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong to bring up this matter: "Okay." ”

"Good ......" Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong also particularly respected Qi Min's wishes at this time, "Look at when it's convenient." ”

Qi Min originally wanted to bring Anton and Mimi by the way during the New Year. Go home, but now that I think about it, I'm afraid I have to take it step by step, let my parents be stimulated by Anton first, and then slow down before I can be stimulated by Mimi again. But before the Chinese New Year, there is only one day off tomorrow: "Then tomorrow?" ”

"Huh? Oh, oh, good, good. Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong obviously didn't expect it to be so soon, "Okay, just tomorrow - tomorrow at noon." ”

"Hmm." Qi Min settled on this matter, and had to start thinking about how to reduce Anton's stimulation of her parents, and how to explain to Anton that her parents would have to participate in their lives sooner or later.

——

Meeting parents is a big deal. Although it is already a certainty, Qi Min is still a little entangled.

When she was with her parents, she was like an ironclad gnawing old man, and now although she has an income and is not completely financially dependent, she is still in the role of a child in front of her parents. And when she was with Anton and Mimi, Qi Min was the one who made the decision - after all, she was three years older than Anton, and she had already decided where the "authority" was at the age of three.

However, Qi Min is too reluctant in life, and under her "leadership", Anton and Mimi still have not been able to solve the identity problem, not to mention the more fatal matter of buying a car lottery number and Mimi's school registration.

After thinking about it, Qi Min felt that it was necessary to properly promote the process of solving the problem. So on the way back to the city from the north, Qi Min and Yelena wanted to go to the Caishikou department store first.

"Department store, do you want to buy clothes?" Yelena is also a shopaholic, "Shall I go with you?" ”

"Caishikou department stores all sell jewelry...... I wanted to buy a gift for my mom. Qi Min explained. Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong sometimes collects a small piece of gold as an investment at the end of the year, and Qi Min thinks she might as well buy it this year — a little expensive, but also affordable.

"Ah, you're so sweet." Yelena couldn't help but praise her, "Are there any special gems in Beijing?" I also bought one for my mom. ”

Qi Min thought about it seriously, as if Beijing really didn't have any famous specialties in terms of gemstones: "It seems that there is no ......"

"Then I'll go check it out, there's nothing else to do anyway." Yelena thus decided.

——

When he arrived at the Caishikou Department Store, Qi Min directly bought a small piece of gold of 10g, spending a small 4,000 yuan, which hurt his flesh.

Yelena followed her around several times, and every time she went to the counter to look curiously, she would be greeted warmly by the shopping guide in Chinese English. Qi Min was afraid that she would hook up with her sister here, so she hurriedly dragged Yelena off the elevator.

When you get off the elevator, you will see a promotional advertisement for platinum jewelry discounts. The platinum pair ring on the advertisement attracted Qi Min's attention, and she felt that some things had to be bought symbolically, so it was better to take advantage of the promotion to pick up a bargain.

After spending a small 4,000 yuan to invest in gold, Qi Min spent another 1,000 yuan to buy a pair of platinum rings. Looking at this month's bill in Alipay, Qi Min's heart swelled with sadness, but she thought that her experiment was considered to have made significant progress, and this little "little money" should be spent.

When Qi Min was buying a pair of rings, Yelena was fooled by the shopping guide next to her to buy a blue and egg-faced platinum ring. Qi Min knew at a glance that the price had to be above five figures, and couldn't help but say: "Lianna, Russian amber and precious metals are cheaper, it's not worth it for you to buy them in Beijing." ”

"What are you doing with that?" Yelena didn't care, "I bought it for my mother anyway—it's my mother." ”

What she said made Qi Min wonder if 10g of gold was a bit too little. However, when I thought of this month's bill, I still dispelled the idea of buying an additional 10g.

——

When he finally got home, Qi Min spent nearly 5,000 yuan a day, and he also knew that the notification text message for deducting money from the card would be sent to Anton, so as soon as he got home, he explained where the money went: "It's a bit too much money today." It's going to be the New Year, so I bought a gift for my mother. ”

When Anton was in the United States, he earned money to pay the rent, so he was mainly in charge of the money. And now, although Qi Min is making money, Anton still does the chores of daily grocery shopping, daily necessities, rent, and utility bills, so he still has to let Anton keep accounts.

However, within the scope of not owing debts, Anton doesn't care how Qi Min spends his money. In terms of finance, he has a kind of blind trust in Qi Min, which may be due to the fact that Qi Min never had a situation where she could make ends meet when she was studying for a doctorate, which made him mistakenly think that she had reliable self-control - but the fact is that Qi Min still has his parents to make up for it, even if he accidentally spends too much money.

So compared to the amount of money spent, Anton is more curious about the content of the gift: "What gift?" ”

"Gold." Qi Min said bluntly, "My mother likes to invest in gold in recent years, and I sold ten grams. ”

"'Money is naturally gold and silver,' and it's a good idea to buy gold." Anton smiled, "I didn't expect you to be quite filial." ”

Qi Min was praised again, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. She, a giant infant patient who used to gnaw on the old, is now praised for being "intimate" and "filial", which makes Qi Min feel that it is cool to have money to buy gifts.

"By the way, I bought you a gift too—it's not cheap." Qi Min remembered that there was still a ring, "Come, stretch out your left hand." ”

Anton didn't know what she had bought and used his left hand, and secretly felt that if she had a convulsion and bought a mechanical watch, it would be better to return it without depreciation. However, when he stretched out his hand, Qi Min put a silver ring on the finger of his left hand.

"It's platinum, it won't rust, and it's the right size, right?" Qi Min fiddled with his fingers after finishing the set, "I don't like those things that are empty-headed, but basic accessories can still be had." ”

"Huh?" Anton didn't react for a while.

"Oh, by the way, I don't think you care if there's a wedding, do you?" Qi Min asked again.

"No—" Anton replied stunned.

"Great, I don't care, that's a big savings." Qi Min put another ring on himself, "That's it." ”

"Wait," Anton burst out laughing, "are you proposing to me?" ”

"No," Qi Min was suddenly embarrassed, and quickly denied it, "I just—"

"Haha, you were really proposing just now......" Anton couldn't help but laugh even harder.

"What are you laughing at?" Qi Min simply didn't deny it, and directly pulled his hair, "My way of proposing marriage is very stupid, can you not agree?" ”

"That certainly can't." Anton said hurriedly. In fact, it doesn't make much difference whether they get married or not, it's just a process.

"That's it." Qi Min sat down at the table and poured himself a cup of freshly brewed jasmine tea, "My mother asked me to bring the subject back to her to see, it just so happens that there is another day off tomorrow." ”

However, this time Anton said: "Tomorrow? I just wanted to say that the club is going to climb the mountain tomorrow, and I have to ask you to take Mimi for a day......"

"Society?" Qi Min recalled that he had indeed heard Anton say that he had added a left-wing club of the Chinese University of Technology, and she had also borrowed bicycles from the freshmen in the club, "Oh, that...... Do you want to go? After all, I've already told my mom about tomorrow. ”

"But what if we both go to your parents' house, Mimi? The kindergarten is not open on holidays, and now it's too late to find someone to watch temporarily, right? Anton pointed out a key point.

Qi Min then remembered who else came to see Mimi, although it is suitable to take the object home on holidays, but because the kindergarten is closed, no one will take care of it, but it will be troublesome.

"That'...... I'll change the time with my mom. Qi Min had no choice but to say, "It's just that the gold will be given to her during the Spring Festival." ”
