Tian Shao went to Qianmen Street, bought some daily necessities and two sets of clothes, and then returned to Sanyanjing Hutong. The daily necessities were for himself, and the clothes were for Uncle Zhao. In addition, he also gave him a pipe.
This old man has no hobbies but likes to take a few puffs, and he only smokes home-grown local cigarettes, not filter cigarettes.
Uncle Zhao got the gift and smiled from ear to ear.
In the afternoon, Tian Shao went to the post office to mail something. In addition to the cassette player, there were two watches. These two watches, one new and one old, the old one was the one she wore before and was for Sanya; the new one was from Hong Kong.
Brought back from the city, a wedding gift for Erya.
After sending the things, Tian Shao took the bus back to school.
Mu Ningzhen saw her and said with a smile: "I just told Sister Yiqiu that if you don't come back today, we will go to the counselor to ask for leave tomorrow morning. Fortunately, you came back in time."
After saying that, she looked at Tian Shao's clothes and asked suspiciously: "Xiao Shao, did you come to Sijiu City today?"
Tian Shao shook his head and said, "No, I arrived three days ago. I didn't go back to school because I had many things to deal with."
Mu Ningzhen shook her head and said, "Then you have to stay in the guest house for these three days? It's such a waste."
Liu Ying glanced at her and felt that she asked too many questions. Tian Shao was not a three-year-old child, so he must have his own considerations when doing things.
Tian Shao knew her temperament and knew there was no malice in her and said with a smile: "I'm not staying in a guest house, I'm staying at home."
Not only Mu Ningzhen, but also Liu Ying were shocked: "Xiao Shao, are you married to Comrade Pei?"
Tian Shao said with a smile: "We have agreed to get married after graduation, so it is still early to say this. However, we bought a house together in the city. The house is relatively run-down and has been being renovated. It was only installed last month."
After the house is renovated, she will stay there during the holidays. She can't hide it. Instead of waiting to tell them later that they are estranged, it is better to tell them now.
Liu Ying was very perceptive. She asked: "Xiao Shao, what you just said was a house instead of a house? In Sijiu City, all the houses that can be described as a house are big houses."
Tian Shao nodded and said: "It is a two-entry courtyard with more than ten rooms. I hope you can visit my house when you are free in the future."
"Did you guys buy this house together?"
Tian Shao nodded slightly and said: "I bought it with his savings and my royalties, but he paid for the decoration. It's because all the houses assigned to this house by his work unit have been replaced, and now he lives in a room with more than ten people.
It’s a small flat house. He also said that this small house will be given away after we get married.”
Pei Yue had to give in to a house of more than ten square meters, but she wouldn't live in it anyway.
Mu Ningzhen felt that Pei Yue was so stupid. Why should he let his house go? But thinking about the house they bought, it had more than ten rooms. The capitalists in the past lived like this. She was a little impatient.
The resident said: "Xiao Shao, Sister Yiqiu and I have made an appointment to go to Dashilan on Sunday, and then we will visit your house."
Tian Shao shook his head and said, "Not on Sunday. I have something to do and can't leave on Sunday."
Bao Yiqiu came back from shopping. When he saw Tian Shao, he couldn't help but smile and said: "After all, the family is raising people. I have gained a lot of weight in half a month since I went back."
Tian Shao touched her face and looked for the mirror in horror. After looking in the mirror, she felt depressed. Her face was indeed rounder than before. Alas, the food in Hong Kong City was so delicious, and she didn't control her diet.
Seeing this, Mu Ningzhen laughed and scolded: "You girl is so ignorant. How many people want to gain weight but can't, but you still despise it."
Tian Shao doesn't want to be fat. If he gets fat, his beautiful clothes will no longer be available to him.
When Tian Shao went to wash up, Mu Ningzhen told Bao Yiqiu about her purchase of a house: "Xiao Shao has a good life. Comrade Pei is a good worker and a good-looking man. Now he has even bought a wedding house. Xiao Shao, from now on."
Waiting to enjoy the blessing."
Liu Ying did not agree with this: "Sister Ningzhen, Xiao Shao just made it very clear that she also paid half of the money for the house. Xiao Shao is beautiful, smart and can make money. I think the lucky one is Pei Yue.
."
Seeing the two people arguing, Bao Yiqiu was funny and curious, and said: "Comrade Pei and Xiao Shao are both excellent. It is fate that they can be together. Let's just wish them well."
The two of them stopped talking.
When Tian Shao came back from taking a shower, Bao Yiqiu was reciting English. After listening to a few sentences, she walked over and asked: "Sister Yiqiu, who taught you English? Don't learn from this person again in the future."
"What's wrong?"
"The pronunciation is not standard at all. If you continue to learn from this person, it will be difficult to correct it in the future."
Mu Ningzhen looked at her with some confusion and asked: "Xiao Shao, you have never studied English, how do you know it is wrong?"
Tian Shao took the book and read a paragraph according to the textbook.
The three people in the dormitory, including Liu Ying, were petrified after listening.
Bao Yiqiu stood up, hugged Tian Shao, and said, "Xiao Shao, Xiao Shao, my English depends on you."
Liu Ying asked curiously: "Tian Shao, you speak English so fluently, who did you learn it from?"
Tian Shao smiled and said: "Grandma Yuxiu taught me. Sister Yiqiu, Sister Ningzhen, there is a tape recorder outside now. Put the tape in it and you can record what you want to learn. Like this text, I can record it first
, you just need to read it from now on."
Bao Yiqiu and Mu Ningzhen laughed bitterly. Not only was the cassette player expensive, but it also required a ticket, which was difficult to get.
Tian Shao took advantage of the situation and said: "I have a friend with a lot of connections. If you are willing, I can ask him to help buy a cassette player. Don't worry, I will definitely ask him to give you the best price."
Mu Ningzhen said without thinking: "Xiao Shao, let's buy it."
She wanted to go abroad, and if she could speak English as fluently as Tian Shao, she would be more sure of going abroad. So, she would sell it no matter how much it cost.
Tian Shao didn't say give it away, not because he was reluctant, but because he knew Bao Yiqiu and Mu Ningzhen wouldn't want it. However, she charged a hundred yuan for the cassette player and three tapes. This was the cost price, not a penny.
No profit.
When Liu Ying heard that it was a hundred yuan, she glanced at the cassette player and said nothing. The market price of such a high-end cassette player was upwards of 200 yuan, so Tian Shao must have paid a premium.
Bao Yiqiu didn't understand the market, but radios cost 80, and cassette players must be more expensive than high-end radios: "Xiao Shao, tell me, how much does this cassette player cost? Xiao Shao, you help us sell things and teach us English, but
I can’t let you post money.”
Tian Shao said hurriedly: "The cassette player is one hundred yuan, and the three tapes are given as gifts. Sister Yiqiu, I really don't have any money. Sister Yiqiu, give me the cassette player. I will record the letters and words for you first. You go first
Just read it and record the dialogue after you know it by heart."
Bao Yiqiu didn't know that she was changing the subject, but she really had no money in her hand: "Xiao Shao, I owe you your money first, and I will pay you back when I have money in the future."
Tian Shao said helplessly: "Sister Yiqiu, I really don't have any money."
Bao Yiqiu said with a smile: "Even if you don't give money, it's because we owe the other party a favor. It's easy to repay a debt, but it's hard to repay a favor. If the other party asks for anything in the future, tell us, and we will repay the favor."
This time Tian Shao agreed. Friends are unfounded and there is no need to return favors.
