Chapter 38: New Year's Gifts
After a few minutes, Yu Mu still hugged Lao Mai tightly and muttered to himself, but Lao Mai was always immersed in the memories of the past, thinking about his own things, but instead became his public and reasonable, and his mother-in-law said that his mother-in-law had a way.
After a while, Lao Mai calmed down, shook his head and smiled bitterly, reached out and pulled Yu Mu from behind, wanting to hug her head-on, but he didn't think that Yu Mu's body was too slender, just like hugging a long pillow, one hand was enough.
Lao Mai sighed, and hugged her like he had hugged her when he was a child, and hugged Yu Mu's leg with one hand to pick her up.
Yu Mu was suddenly picked up high, and he was very unaccustomed to feeling afraid of heights, so he hurriedly wrapped his hands and legs around Lao Mai's neck and waist, and lowered his head against Lao Mai's forehead.
When Lao Mai saw that it was okay to hug him like this, he was happy in his heart, and asked, "Sister Miki, how tall and heavy are you now?"
Yu Mu stretched out his hand and gently touched his flattened hair, and replied, "I am one meter six tall, but I weigh more than seventy pounds." ”
Lao Mai weighed as light as a wooden leaf, she almost didn't feel any weight, and this little person sat tall, and her slender legs were still quite long, but the body frame was too small, and the flesh was full of soft elasticity, and people didn't necessarily know how thin.
As if thinking of something, he glanced at his watch, just supported Yu Mu with both hands, raised his legs and walked outside the restaurant, and the little Wuling car that was still in the parking space was thrown behind him.
Walking to the bright light at the gate, Yu Mu felt that he was moving, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Mai, where are we going?"
Lao Mai smiled: "It's not even nine o'clock in the evening, let's go shopping on the street." ”
Yu Mu felt that his figure was shaking, so he appeared under the light of the gate, quickly broke free of Lao Mai's hands that circled him, jumped off the ground, lowered his head and straightened his clothes, and said shyly: "Let people make jokes when they see it." ”
Old McHaha smiled: "What's this, when I saw it, I didn't think it was my father walking with his daughter in my arms." ”
Yu Mu compared the height of the two with his slender hands, and felt that Lao Mai, who was wearing leather shoes of 1.7 meters, and his height of 1.6 meters in flat heels were just the right match, so he happily hugged Lao Mai's sturdy right arm and said: "Brother Mai, our height and size are just right, just like ......."
Lao Mai asked, "Is it like a handsome uncle and a beautiful woman?"
"No, it's like Beauty and the Beast," Yu Mu smiled and bent over.
"This little girl," Lao Mai straightened his face, stretched out his hand and rubbed Yu Mu's thick hair to envelop the little face, just like Sadako's hairstyle in "Midnight Bell".
"Alas, Brother Mai messed up everyone's hair," Yu Mu dodged Lao Mai's claws, straightened his shawl and long hair, and took out a colored rubber band from the kun bag on his body, and tied his thick hair into a wavy ponytail.
Lao Mai found that her hair was not all black, but dark chestnut with a little natural curl, and said secretly in her heart: "Sister Miki is still a yellow-haired girl." ”
Yu Mu stroked his hair and said a few words: "Brother Mai, in fact, you don't look like a forty-year-old at all, you look like you are in your early thirties at most, and standing with me, a girl of twenty-four or five, just a good match." ”
Lao Mai waited for her to be ready, then took her little hand and walked out of the door of the restaurant, to go outside to walk the commercial street.
As soon as he held Yu Mu's palm, he still felt a slight cringe and struggle, which made him hold it, Lao Mai subconsciously glanced at her face and found that there was nothing unusual.
Turn the corner, you will arrive at a bright and prosperous commercial street, although there is no large commercial square in this area, are some street shops, the buildings along the street are all newly built various buildings, the bottom street shop area is very large, the decoration is very trendy, there are many varieties of goods, the view is dazzling, or a variety of fashionable and high-end ready-to-wear in the majority.
Lao Mai only had time to say: "Sister Miki, what do you like, Brother Mai will buy it for you," and ran around the street to Yu Mu, who was so excited that his face was full of delicate face.
It took more than half an hour to walk around this short commercial street, almost every store that sells high-end ready-to-wear, Yu Mu would walk in to see Bibi, but he walked out without buying anything, so that he walked the whole street empty-handed.
Lao Mai was like a large puppet tumbler, dragging her all the way, and finally asked very puzzled: "Sister Miki, don't you have the beautiful clothes you like?"
Yu Mu smiled and said, "I have seen a lot, I don't know which one to buy." ”
Lao Mai then said: "Then just pick a few pieces, and Brother Mai will pay for you." ”
"No," Yu Mu said as he shook his right hand, "It's good to be able to look at it like this, I haven't seen a fashion store like this for many years." ”
When Lao Mai heard this, he felt a little sad, his eyes were a little moist, he looked left and right, and found that the other street around the corner was a professional store in the communication market, and there were many large and small shops there, all of which sold all kinds of communication equipment.
He glanced at Yu Mu's NECcall machine clamped on the strap of Kun bag, and suddenly had an idea in his heart, and said with a smile: "Then let's go over there and have a look." ”
"Hmm," Yu Mu obediently grabbed Lao Mai's right arm with both hands and went with him to visit the professional street of the communication market.
In front of all the shops here, there are neon light box billboards of various shapes, which are as bright as day on the street, and Lao Mai has found famous brand mobile phone stores such as Nokia, Motorola, and Ericsson on the group of light boxes above his head.
Lao Mai likes flip phones, he uses a motorcycle CD928, his male can use it, it is not easy to hold Yu Mu's small hands, and the folding palm treasure CD328 is also a little too big, Nokia's mobile phone is small, but unfortunately it is all straight, and it is easy to touch it by mistake if you forget to lock the keyboard.
The next trip was about to walk to the Ericsson store, Lao Maiyuan was attracted by the large color billboard standing outside the door, which was Andy Lau holding Ericsson T28SC mobile phone in his left hand, and Guan Zhilin in his right hand to make a print advertisement, as well as the eye-catching advertising slogan of "Career must be fought for, and you have never given up".
The small words below such as "the clamshell mobile phone body is the thinnest, less than 1.5 cm", "the first mobile phone in China that can send Chinese text messages" is also very clear, as for "the grand listing in January 2000, the price is 5288 yuan", and the pre-sale preferential activities or something, I did not pay attention to it.
Lao Mai took Yu Mu's little hand, who was looking curiously, stepped into the door of the Ericsson store, and saw that there were still a few customers inside, sitting or standing looking at their mobile phones.
Seeing a new customer coming in, behind the shopping guide counter by the door, a female shopping guide wearing a red cheongsam and heavy makeup greeted her attentively and asked with a smile: "Mr. and Miss, how can I help you?"
Lao Mai frowned a little and looked at the shopping guide who was wearing high heels half a head taller than himself, raised his left thumb, pointed to the billboard outside the door, and asked, "When can I buy the Ericsson T28 advertised outside?"
The shopping guide replied with a smile: "On New Year's Day 2000, that is, as soon as it opens tomorrow, you can buy it." ”
"Oh," Mai stopped a little hesitantly.
The shopping guide lady saw that the new guests had the intention of leaving, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious, her face was still silent with a smile, and she said faster: "In fact, you can also book, participate in the pre-sale preferential activities of our store, and give gifts, if you book in full, the preferential price is 4980 yuan, plus a piece of raw electricity, a high-quality seat charger, which will be officially sold tomorrow, and the price is not so low." ”
She glanced around at Yu Mu, who was looking around at the bunches of colorful hydrogen balloons in the room, and then said, "If it's for women, we have an ivory white one that is quite suitable for women, and we also give a beautiful lanyard and a cartoon suede mobile phone bag." ”
This remark undoubtedly touched Lao Mai, who knew that the mobile phone cases on the market at that time were either mostly black, like Motorola's, or gray, like Nokia's.
It seems that this ivory white, that is, off-white mobile phone, is quite suitable for little girls to play with, and tomorrow is New Year's Day, and it is not too late to get a New Year's gift.
Lao Mai had made up his mind, nodded and said, "Okay, just order me such a mobile phone." ”
The shopping guide lady immediately smiled and guided the two of them to the sales counter to go through the booking procedures and select the mobile phone number.
Yu Mu followed Lao Mai ignorantly, I don't know what he is doing, girls have always had no interest in household appliances.
It wasn't until Lao Mai put a mobile phone number selection list in front of her eyes that Yu Mu came to his senses, showed a very frightened look, and asked quietly: "Brother Mai, are you going to buy me a mobile phone?"
"That's right, I'll make you a New Year's gift," Old Mai smiled kindly, "and pick an auspicious mobile phone number." ”
"Well," Yu Mu looked at Lao Mai with a smile on his face, and couldn't say anything he wanted to say, so he had to answer, took the number list and looked at it for a long time, and picked a number that he thought was good.
Quickly completed the booking and purchase procedures, Lao Mai swiped the card to prepay the full amount of the mobile phone and a large amount of pre-deposited phone bills, Yu Mu put a stack of lists and mobile phone cards into the Kun bag, let Lao Mai hold hands, silently walked out of this mobile phone store, and peeked at the mobile phone billboard at the door.
Lao Mai asked a little strangely, "Sister Miki, why don't you speak?" Don't you like this phone?"
Yu Mu bit his lip and said with a crying face: "No, no, it's just, it's just that this mobile phone is so expensive, it's enough for my salary for a year." ”
Lao Mai said with a smile: "The mobile phone can be used for a few years, and your annual salary can be spent for a few years, but it makes a lot of money." ”
Yu Mu said anxiously: "But, but, this, this is different." ”
Lao Mai raised his face and said: "That mobile phone is a New Year's gift from Brother Mai, and you don't need to spend a year's salary, why are you in a hurry." ”
Yu Mu short-circuited the little brain melon instantly, and always felt that there was something wrong in it, tilted his head and thought for a long time, and suddenly said: "Brother Mai, buying this mobile phone will also cost you a few months' salary, then, Brother Mai, don't you have to live by eating pickles and white porridge steamed buns in the next few months?"
"Pickles, white porridge, steamed buns?!" Lao Mai suddenly heard this, and almost fell to the ground on the spot.
