Chapter 8 Birthday Presents
36
With fifty yuan in my hand, I couldn't be happier, and I thought that I would go to the shop after school at noon to see if there was anything I could give to my brother. Aren't there a lot of boutiques in front of the school, although I rarely go there, but this time I have fifty, fifty. I can go and pick a good gift, at least one that I think is good.
Soon it was noon when school ended, and I didn't go home or eat, so I went straight to a row of small shops around the school. I went to several houses and didn't see what I wanted, neither what I wanted, nor what my brother wanted. Keep walking and watching. Suddenly, I saw a lighter in a small store, the appearance of a flip phone, the antenna position is the button of the lighter, and the "cover" of the flip phone can also be opened. The owner of the store is also very good at introducing, "This lighter is very good, it is a new model that we have just arrived." It's best to send a boyfriend, the appearance of the mobile phone represents constant contact, and the lighter is an expression that I like you. Kill two birds with one stone. How much is "I'm really impressed"? "I'll sell 35, and I see if you sincerely want it, so I'll give you 30." 25 "I tried my best to negotiate the price. The soft grinding and hard foaming are almost in the afternoon class, and finally 25 take, and the packaging. I couldn't be happier. I began to think again, so that there are still 25 pieces left, and I can go to the cake shop to see the cake when I get home from school in the afternoon, maybe I can order one.
I had been thinking about gifts and cakes all day, and I didn't know what the teachers were talking about in class. The college entrance examination is coming soon, and the question sea tactics are also coming. Although the teachers require a "half-" like me to read the textbook carefully, understand the basic concepts and do the most basic questions, and do not waste time on the difficult ones, I still don't want to do the questions. Every night when I come home, I mostly study physics concepts.
In the afternoon, I passed by the cake shop after school, went in and asked about the price, size, and style, and asked if I needed to book in advance. The stone in my heart has almost fallen. The clerk said that a six-inch cake was 68 yuan, and there were 25 left at noon, and the scattered pieces saved before added up to less than 30 yuan, which was still not enough. I started to be unhappy again, and my mind was full of what to do if I didn't have enough money.
In a flash of inspiration, my mother seems to have a habit of saving "new money", and I will look for it when my mother goes to the farm tomorrow. If you can find it, this will completely solve the problem of insufficient money. I don't think I'm average smart.
And so the good day passed.

Sure enough, my mother left early Tuesday morning, and I started rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and finally found it. There are a dollar, a dollar of five, a dollar of ten, and fifty or a hundred. This is tangled, how much is it good to take? It's the first time I've had no experience. The denominations of 1 yuan, 5 yuan and 10 yuan are small but the number is relatively large, while the face value of 50 and 100 yuan is large but the number is small. I just thought about how much money I needed, and if I had a little more money I could get a taxi or something. But I forgot that one day the "East Window Incident" would be relatively large, and it would not be easy to find it.
Hey, people can't be too greedy, too greedy will plant security risks for themselves. I picked the largest one and took it, but I didn't know that the largest was a total of five, who can't remember this. At that time, I was blinded by the "cream cake", and I would only pick the biggest one.
After school at noon, I came back in a hurry to order a cake, talked about the color, style, and pick-up time, and I went home happily, looking forward to coming soon on Wednesday.
This is the person who is going to take the college entrance examination, thinking about how to celebrate someone else's birthday, and completely throwing the college entrance examination out of the clouds. The good students in the class really learn in class, learn after class, and are afraid of wasting time when they are learning every minute. I don't want to learn for a minute, and learning has nothing to do with me.
Finally, the date I was looking forward to arrived. After school on Wednesday afternoon, I rode home on a speeding bike, and after confirming that my mother was indeed not coming tonight, I packed up and prepared to go. At that time, school uniforms were required to be worn to school, and there were school uniforms all year round, and there were very few casual clothes, so I could only pick one that I thought I still wore out. Bring gifts, take cakes, and take a taxi to my brother's community. Because I came back from the bus last time, I probably remembered the name of the station, and the destination of the taxi was also the location of the bus stop last time.
Since last time, there has been no contact for four days. Last time, my brother said to let me go, but I should have been waiting for me today, and I didn't tell him that I would go, and I would definitely be able to surprise him. There was another burst of joy in my heart.
However, this is self-righteous again.

I've been counting these days, counting and looking forward to Wednesday. After what happened last time, Wang Hao didn't think that I would attend his birthday. According to the previous practice, such a day is a day for him to get together with his friends in the circle. Yes, it's now fashionable to call it "party". And this year, because of my incident a few days ago, he only notified a few good brothers in the circle to have a small gathering at home.
My house is not close to his community, the evening rush hour, the road is not very easy to walk, but compared to the current traffic jam is still "a small thing". Finally it was half past seven. From downstairs, his house was brightly lit, and it was good to be at home.
An excited heart, a pair of trembling hands, my hands are cold and sweaty when I am nervous, my hands are already cold at this time, and I don't know why I am nervous. The door of the building is open, and you enter the elevator to reach the eighth floor without any problems. Ring the doorbell.
I don't know the person who opened the door, but he is as good-looking as his brother, and his figure is the same tall and stylish. He looked at me, I looked at him, "You're the one who delivered the cake, right?" Brother Hao, have you ordered a cake? He looked at me again, "thank you", snatched the cake from my hand, and "snapped" and closed the door. I, I, I'm angry.
It's ridiculous and helpless, so I can only ring the doorbell again. The one who opened the door was still the same person just now. "Why don't you leave, you didn't give money?" As he spoke, he took out his wallet from his pocket and threw me a hundred-dollar bill. I took it in my hand and was stunned for a moment. was "stunned" at this time, and the door closed again. This is to think that I am sending a cake, right, okay, my stubborn temper, if I can't enter the door today, I won't be surnamed Ouyang. Ouyang is my real last name.
Continue to ring the doorbell, and it is he who opens the door. As the saying goes, "Again and again, there is no repeatedness, and again and again, and again, and again". This is the third time in a row that I have rang the doorbell, and it is time for ordinary people to be irritable. "What's the matter with you. The money is all given to you. I obviously just heard him shout "Brother Hao", and said tremblingly, "May I ask if this is Wang Hao's family?" ”
"Yes, the cake is delivered, you can go. You don't have to look for change for you. ”
Bang, the door is closed again. I'm a little grumpy, what is the change "rewarding" me, I rarely want you to break the change.
So, continue to ring the doorbell, this time this person is also really hot. There was obvious dissatisfaction and anger in the words: "You are not finished, don't you leave?" A nameless fire in my chest also rose, and I looked at him, a posture of looking at death as if I was at home, "I looked for Wang Hao and didn't look for you, this is Wang Hao's house, good dogs don't get in the way, get out of the way." "With his height, I'm looking down, and I'm going to have to look up to him. A good dog doesn't get in the way, and he is obviously confused. I'm afraid it's the first time someone dares to say that.
Seeing that he didn't mean to move, he snatched back the cake in his hand and rushed in. The moment I entered, everyone in the room looked up at me in surprise, but I was at a loss.

Counting Shen Jue and the five people standing at the door next to me, they are all the best in terms of appearance. I wonder if I walked into the filming of a certain TV series, these are all stars. I feel better than a star, but my eyes are fierce. A few of them had cigarettes in their mouths, and they looked like they were going to rush over and beat me to death.
The "doorman" next to me pushed me, "Who do you say is a good dog and doesn't get in the way, who are you?" ”
"Little Wu, don't move her" Shen Jue jumped to my side. Looking at me, his gaze kept looking at my left side of my face, probably looking for the "Five Finger Mountain" on my left face. The three of us were "confronting" at the door, and my brother came out of it in casual clothes.
I've never seen him wear casual clothes like this. It was really "casual", it felt relaxed, but not lazy at all. Light gray pants, no buttons at the neckline, revealing a little wheat-colored skin, I haven't seen any strong pecs, chocolate-like abs, judging from his lean body, these should also be there. He looked at me and was stunned, he thought I wouldn't come.
It's too late, it's too late, I'm still looking at him like this in a daze, he is already standing in front of me, "Why are you here?" ”
"You didn't ask me to come here on Wednesday night for your birthday." He looked at the cake I was carrying, grabbed my hand and walked to the study.
"Slammed" the door shut, and it was locked with his hand.
Outside the door, Shen Jue was besieged. The "doorman" just now was confused: "Who is she?" Brother Hao knows her? ”
Shen Jue pursed his lips, "Brother Hao's new love, the little girl is still in high school." The crowd stared and opened their mouths.
"Brother Hao is crazy, what are the kids in high school doing?"
"When is Ah Hao going to be good at this?"
"Brother Hao won't like her, it doesn't look like it's as simple as just a new love."
"This girl looks too ordinary, and she doesn't have anything to look at, what does Brother Hao like about him?"
"The girl who is still in high school should still be a chick, and eighty percent of them are looking at other people's girls as chicks."
"Still carrying a school bag......"
Everyone, you began to judge me every word.
Inside the door, my brother walked to the desk, and forgive me for being stupid and unable to see the expression on his face. I came to celebrate his birthday with high spirits, and I don't want him to be unhappy. Although the fire in his heart had not been extinguished just now, he still walked to his side. He put the cake in his hand on the desk and tugged at his sleeve. "Brother, are you still angry? It's your birthday today, can't you not be angry? Look, I also brought a gift for you. He took out a beautifully wrapped gift from his bag and shook it in front of his eyes.
Still ignore me. I'm impatient and coquettish. I waited for a while and there was no response. Originally, the fire was not extinguished, but after a while, it burned again. grabbed his hand, stuffed the gift in his hand, and "love or not" turned his head and left. It may be that adolescence and menopause are similar, and their tempers are more irritable and "cloudy".
Just as I was turning, he finally stepped in and grabbed me. He pulled me into his arms again, "I'm sorry, does it still hurt?" I shouldn't have hit you. "Ignore me, am I struggling with how to open my mouth and say sorry to me? I blamed him again. The fourth time he broke free from his arms, lowered his head and said silently, "It's me who is open-mouthed, it's my fault first, I don't blame you." I know you're good for me......"
The head is slowly raised. When I left the house, I changed to a two-braided hairstyle. At that time, I had waist-length hair. He also prefers two braids, tied on the left and right sides of the top of the head, which naturally droops, and is also equipped with a five-pointed star-shaped tie rope on the top. It's so young and cute. In fact, I don't have to be deliberately small with them, I am already small, about ten years younger than them, so I am more like a primary school student.
