Unaware of the intrigue between her brother and sister, who were secretly fighting over the pocket money for the coming year, Anna, who had called the carriage, returned to the apartment and walked out with William and Melanie, who were glaring at each other.

What about the big brother?

After looking at the door for a while, but not seeing Leon's figure, Melanie couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Where's Big Brother? Isn't he with us? ”

"He's gone to pick up the present."

After holding Melanie's armpits with both hands and carrying her to the carriage, Anna reached for William and replied casually:

"Your sister Ellie is not in good health, she doesn't go to school, and she rarely goes out, and the eldest brother wants to give her a more memorable birthday, so he went to order some gifts.

However, because the time is a little tight, even if some money is added deliberately, it will almost be done this morning, so the eldest brother got up in advance to pick up the gifts, and will wait for us at the street corner over there when the time comes. ”

"Oh......"

After listening to Anna's explanation, Melanie's big shining eyes couldn't help but flash a look of envy.

It's good that William and himself have never received a customized gift.

And William, who refused Anna's help and got into the carriage by himself, noticed the envy in her eyes, and then reached out and patted her, and comforted her like a little adult:

"Don't worry, there will be it on your birthday, the eldest brother has always been stingy with himself, and he has always given us whatever he has.

I didn't celebrate our birthday like this before, because the conditions at home were too poor in the past, so I could only try to be frugal, but now the family is a lot more comfortable, according to the character of the eldest brother, next time we celebrate our birthday, he will definitely prepare well. ”

Not...... That's true......

Thinking of Leon's kindness to her in the past, the little jealousy in Melanie's heart couldn't help but disappear.

Thinking about the little girl who could only stay at home all the year round because of her poor health, and no one even accompanied her to dig out the birds' eggs, she even felt a little sorry in her heart, feeling that she was jealous of such a poor little girl because of her eldest brother's "preference", which was really a bit too undeserved.

And Anna, who was listening to their communication next to her, couldn't help but feel soft in her heart, and couldn't help but reach out and touch William's little head, with a faint sense of apology in her eyes.

In fact...... Although it is true that they are a little naughty, both William and Melanie are very good children, who is good to them, they all keep it firmly in their hearts, and they also know what to do and what not to do, and they will never do anything particularly excessive......

Well...... This is doubtful, but they can at least guarantee that they never do excessive things first, and on the whole it is reasonable, and they are worried that they will bully people before leaving, which is really a bit undesirable.

After pinching her rather full purse, Anna, who felt a little guilty in her heart, held the intention of compensating her brother and sister who had been "wronged", and promised:

"Well, for the sake of your recent good behavior, when I come back tonight, I can buy you a gift, what do you both want?!!!?"

After hearing Anna's promise, not only Melanie smiled, but even William was surprised.

Compared with the eldest brother who has always been very "generous", Sister Anna has always been the one who runs the family, or to put it bluntly, she is unwilling to spend money, and she can't use every copper wheel into eight petals.

And Sister Anna, who is good everywhere except for being stingy, is rare to be generous today, and this opportunity must be seized!

In addition, according to Sister Anna's character, the "total amount" of this gift must be limited, even if the family is very rich now, but seven or eight copper wheels will come to an end, and this amount is still shared by the two of them, so ......

Whoever asks for a cheap gift will suffer!

Subconsciously glanced at each other, and after discovering the throbbing fire in each other's eyes, the brain circuits of the two little guys instantly synchronized, and they understood that the other party had thought of each other together, and the next thing would be a war for the reward budget!

"I want a doll! And new shoes! ”

In a flash, Melanie, who has a faster brain and better at math, blurted out two gifts that add up to 5 bronze wheels, which instantly accounted for most of the budget.

After calculating the price of these two gifts, Anna's eyes couldn't help but show hesitation, but after looking at Melanie's slightly small shoes, she still nodded slightly.

It's not easy for the eldest brother to make money, and he didn't plan to buy them too expensive things, and seven or eight copper wheels will come to an end.

Although Melanie accounted for more than half of the quota, her shoes were indeed a little smaller, and it was indeed time to change, and if William wanted toys or something, it could have taken up a little less.

After all, boys' toys break down quickly, whether you buy a clockwork soldier with 5 copper wheels or an iron frog with 3 copper wheels, they basically can't last more than two months and will fall apart, so if you can save it, you should save a little......

After calculating the distribution of the quota, Anna nodded slightly, agreeing to Melanie's request.

"Yes...... William, what about you? What do you want? ”

"My word ......"

Looking at his sister, who was looking at him with big eyes full of pride, the corners of William's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, and he gave her an indifferent smile back.

"Buy me some books!" ?!!!

In Melanie's "big thing" eyes, William took out a folded piece of straw paper from his bosom and read calmly:

"Sister Anna, the books I want to read are "A Brief History of the Pan-Continental War", "Our Kingdom", "How the Parliament Was Founded", "Popular Science of the Standing Ordnance of the Kingdoms", ......"

After reading out a long list of books, William handed the papyrus to Anna, and said reservedly:

"Although I have prepared a list, I don't have to buy all of them, just some of them.

Even if these books are recommended to me by my teacher and are guaranteed to be good for my academic performance, Melanie's toys are also very important, as for my grades, it won't delay anything if I improve later, Sister Anna, you can buy her toys first. ”

“……”

……

Call...... Ok, just the right time.

After looking at the carriage that was approaching him, and after identifying the passenger's figure, Leon, who was waiting at the entrance to Sequoia Boulevard, stretched out his hand and beckoned to the carriage, and the carriage also took the initiative to stop.

"Keep going, go all the way to the innermost part, and just stop at the door of the Treasure Flower Manor."

After instructing the coachman, and handing him the tokens of passage, Leon stepped into the carriage, and was about to ask if he was ready, but found that the two little ones were in a strange state.

Although William was still the same as before, with a serious face like a little adult, his slightly raised chin still revealed the joy in his heart.

As for Melanie next to her, she sat on her seat dejectedly like a defeated rooster, pouting her little mouth, and even when she got into the carriage, she secretly kicked William while Anna was looking away.

“……”

Looking at William, who had six or seven dusty shoe prints on the side of his trousers, but always had a triumphant smile on his face, Leon couldn't help but rub his eyebrows worriedly.

Although there is no basis for this judgment, I always feel that it would be a very wrong decision to promise Emma's seniors that it would be a very wrong decision to bring these two troublemakers to celebrate Ellie's birthday......
