Chapter 033 Buying Gifts
The two came to Xinhua Mall and temporarily stored their luggage at the front desk.
"What are you going to buy?"
Walking onto the elevator, Li Chenyang asked.
Feng Shuangshuang thought for a while: "Let's buy a dress for my mother, a cigarette for my father, a teddy bear for my sister, and some snacks and Ultraman toys for my brother."
While eating, Feng Shuangshuang thought about what gifts to bring home to her family.
The ones she chose are very cost-effective.
"It seems that your sister took the entrance exam this year. Have her results come out? How did she do in the exam?"
Li Chenyang vaguely remembered that when they were in college, Feng Shuangshuang's sister happened to be in the first year of high school. Feng Shuangshuang's sister was named Feng Chengcheng. Yes, it was the Feng Chengcheng everyone thought of. I don't know if Feng Shuangshuang's parents were watching TV series when they named her.
Fascinated.
Fortunately, Feng Chengcheng has a free and easy personality and likes to make friends. Unlike her sister, this name does not cause her any trouble, but makes her more popular.
Feng Shuangshuang said: "My grades are not bad. I am among the top five in the class. I can go to Zhushan High School or County No. 1 Middle School."
Zhushan High School, the former school of Li Chenyang and Feng Shuangshuang, is just a township high school. Although it is not bad compared to other middle schools at the same level, it is still a little worse than high schools in the county.
Teachers also tend to flow upwards. The treatment in middle schools in the county is better, and excellent teachers will find ways to climb the Internet.
These two schools have their own advantages and disadvantages. One is close to home and has poor teaching quality, while the other is far from home and requires living on campus.
"What about No. 2 Middle School?"
Li Chenyang asked.
"If you can't win the second grade, you're a few points behind. There's definitely no hope."
Feng Shuangshuang shook his head.
Li Chenyang thought about Chen Qiuya. She was a teacher at No. 2 Middle School and wondered if she could help. Feng Shuangshuang obviously didn't think about it either. He chatted with Chen Qiuya on the road and didn't mention his sister.

At her age, she doesn't understand all the twists and turns, and she still thinks that grades are the only factor in deciding which school to go to.
"What about you, what are you going to buy?"
Feng Shuangshuang asked Li Chenyang again.
"I'd better buy a gold bar."
Li Chenyang said jokingly.
"Gold bars?" Feng Shuangshuang's eyes widened, thinking that Li Chenyang was joking. Why would he buy gold bars? She pouted: "Forget it if you don't tell me..."
I walked around the clothing city with Feng Shuangshuang, and finally chose a light yellow long skirt with green patterns. Feng Shuangshuang liked this color very much, and it is also more suitable for middle-aged women.
Li Chenyang planned to pay, but Feng Shuangshuang refused.
"You gave me so much money, which is enough for the registration fee and living expenses. I will buy gifts for my family myself."
To go home, Feng Shuangshuang deliberately withdrew more than a thousand yuan. In this era, there was no mobile payment. Although you can swipe cards, it is not very popular in small places. More than 90% of people use
Cash.
A skirt costs more than 180 yuan, which is relatively expensive. She gave it to the shopping guide to pack, and Feng Shuangshuang had no intention of looking at it again.
"Won't you buy one for yourself?"
Li Chenyang asked.
Feng Shuangshuang shook his head and said, "I have so many clothes that I can never wear them all."
Li Chenyang was helpless. This girl was too frugal for him, so he should wait until he went to Greentown to buy her a few more pieces. Clothes in small counties were not only more expensive than those in cities, but the styles were really not that good...
Even Li Chenyang himself has no plans to add any clothes.
Feng Shuangshuang went to the supermarket again. She didn't know how to smoke. At Li Chenyang's suggestion, she bought a pair of Yuxi cigarettes for her father for 211, which was about the same price as the skirt just now.
As for my sister, I bought a big bear for more than 50 yuan, an Ultraman toy for 30 yuan for my brother, and some snacks, which cost only 50 or 60 yuan in total.
It can be seen that Feng Shuangshuang is very fair to his family.
After buying these, the two of them had their hands full again. Li Chenyang was holding snacks and toys, and also carrying the bags of clothes. Feng Shuangshuang was holding a big bear... This bear was so big that it needed one person to hold it.

"You really don't want to buy something?"
Feng Shuangshuang was a little embarrassed, Li Chenyang didn't have any free space on his hands.
"Buy it, didn't I say you would buy a gold bar?"
Li Chenyang repeated it again.
"You are serious."
Feng Shuangshuang said in surprise.
If he hadn't been holding something in both hands, Li Chenyang would probably have hit Feng Shuangshuang on the head. He said, "When have I not been serious?"
There was no luggage stored at the front desk for the time being. After leaving the mall, Li Chenyang called Feng Shuangshuang and walked into the China Gold and Jewelry Store across the road.
This street is the most prosperous place in Qingshan County, also called Grand Cross Street. In addition to shopping malls and supermarkets, there are many gold shops on both sides of the road, such as Lao Fengxiang, Laomiao, Chow Tai Fook, Saturday Fortune, Mengjinyuan... a little bit more
Every well-known brand has a branch here, and the business is pretty good. Hundreds of thousands of people in Qingshan County come here to buy gold jewelry when they are getting married.
Li Chenyang really planned to buy a gold bar, but of course he didn't have much money and could only buy one hundred grams.
My mother basically has gold jewelry now, but she lacks a bracelet. In her previous life, Li Chenyang bought her one after graduation. At that time, her mother Tang Hong cried with excitement.
Perhaps many people cannot understand this feeling, but Li Chenyang was really touched at the time.
It is a matter of pride and excitement for any parent that the children who have worked so hard to cultivate have grown up, can make money, and know how to be filial to their parents.
Nowadays, the bracelets in gold shops are relatively young, and there are not many styles suitable for older women. Li Chenyang plans to buy gold bars back to town and go to the gold shop to make them himself. It is the kind of ancient bracelet. One hundred grams of gold bars can be used to make two bracelets.
, one for his mother and one for his grandmother.
Li Chenyang's mother has three sisters. She has no uncle. Her grandfather served in the military and is also a relatively open-minded person. After having three daughters, she decided not to have more children.
My mother, Tang Hong, is the eldest, and I also have my second aunt, Tang Ying, and my younger aunt, Tang Xue.
From the name, we can also see that Li Chenyang's grandfather's style of doing things was a neat, decisive, and somewhat stubborn little old man... Now that his grandfather is still alive, Li Chenyang is really eager to see him again.
When he saw a young man and a woman entering the door, the salesperson of the gold store did not look down upon him and asked enthusiastically.
"What jewelry do you two want to see?"
"Just buy a gold bar, one hundred grams."
Li Chenyang stated the purpose directly.
"You want gold bars."
The salesperson was a little surprised, but still very polite. They sold gold bars in the store. Although the profit was much lower than that of jewelry, you could still make some money. She was only a little surprised. She didn't expect that this young man who looked like a student would actually want to buy 100 gold bars.
grams of gold bars.
"He looks a bit handsome, but it's a pity that he has a girlfriend."
The salesperson is a middle-aged woman. She naturally does not want to be an old cow eating young grass, but she has a daughter to be married at home.
"Look...this is our store's standard gold bar, a full one hundred grams, four nines."
The salesperson took out a gold bar. It was as small as a thumb and worth tens of thousands.
The three nines and four nines are just tricks used by gold shops to deceive people. Li Chenyang was too lazy to care about this. He asked: "Are the gold bars sold according to the price of gold on that day, or?"
"Slightly higher than the price of the day."
The salesperson said.
"How many per gram?"
"Three hundred and thirty-three."
Li Chenyang checked today's gold price. It was 330 yuan per gram. Gold bars sold for 333 yuan, and 100 grams was only 300 yuan more. Li Chenyang thought it was okay and bought it directly with his credit card.
The whole gold bar was sealed in a bag and packed in a box. The gold store also provided a handbag as a gift, and the invoices and other items were also placed in it.
Li Chenyang didn't leave in a hurry. He pointed at the lanyard behind the gold shop salesman and asked.
Chapter completed!
