chapter eight

Xia Zhi took Xia Meng around the square, observing Xia Meng's expression while looking for a birthday gift that would satisfy her in many shops. Although Xia Zhi thought that the drift bottle was very good, if

She would be very happy if someone gave it to her, but she doesn't like it very much. This is probably one of the differences between boys and girls.

Maybe I should have bought her a large Kumamon... After all, Hell Bomber Princess is still in her room as a decoration. I think most girls are quite satisfied with such cute things. But obviously, this

There are no stores specializing in large-sized puppets like this in the small county town. What they do have are basically white or black bears piled on a shelf in a supermarket. I want to buy one that can satisfy Xia Meng.

The gift doesn't seem very realistic.

But if she still can't find it in the end, she can try her luck, maybe she can find someone who can satisfy her.

"It seems like a store I haven't seen before. Is it newly opened?"

"I don't know, I don't go out on the streets very often." Xia Meng shook his head.

"Then why don't you go take a look? Maybe you will find something interesting." Along the way, she has passed many stores, but Xia Meng is not very interested in the things inside. If she continues shopping at this speed, she will probably

You don't even have to go home for half an hour. It's such a small place and there's nothing you can do.

"Okay." Xia Meng nodded happily. Xia Zhi once again confirmed through the window that it was not a suspicious store, and then walked inside with Xia Meng.

You can also roughly understand from the outside that this is a store for buying small commodities. It is similar to the two-yuan store and the five-yuan store in the past. They are all very cheap small items. For example, pendants, hairpins, headbands, bracelets, etc. are also available.

They sell slightly more expensive stationery such as pens, but stores with mixed product categories are very common in small counties. After all, if you open a specialized store, in addition to stores with relatively large demand like bookstores, you can only sell a certain product individually.

It’s hard for a store selling merchandise to survive.

Just like a cigarette shop selling drinks and snacks part-time, Xia Zhi wouldn't find it strange.

The owner of this store probably understands that few boys will be interested in these things, so most of the products can be seen from the appearance as being for girls, although there are also many small hanging racks that look very handsome.

There are some on the side, but generally there are more items for women.

Probably because it is school time now, there is not even a single customer in the store. Even the store manager is bored and playing with his mobile phone at the checkout counter. However, he is quite dedicated. Seeing Xia Zhiliang

When people came in, she smiled and said "Welcome" to Xia Zhi and Xia Meng.

Xia Zhi and Xia Meng were shopping inside. Regardless of what Xia Meng thought of these various products, Xia Zhi was quite interested. There were many iron-made cold weapons about the size of a thumb, covering China.

Common weapons such as long swords, broadswords, etc., as well as European straight cross swords, and kunai and shurikens with unusually obvious styles. As for the overly obvious pattern above from a village in the Land of Fire

...just ignore it for now.

These are only a small number of products that can arouse boys' interest, and most of them are small animal-shaped decorations. This is what Xia Zhi needs to pay attention to most. Looking at the row, almost all of them are kittens, puppies, and rabbits.

There are also cute versions of lions, tigers, elephants and the like. As for marine creatures, there are starfish, shells, dolphins and some fish that Xia Zhi can’t name but they look very cute. Of course, as marine creatures,

There are also stars among humans, including dolphins.

But, yes! There are no sea lions! Not even walruses. It can be seen that these two marine creatures that even look alike do not have much reputation in the human world. But in this way, Xia Zhi will not be able to communicate with his sister... So

Xia Zhi searched among the many products, trying to find an object that could be called a walrus, or even something similar.

It's a pity that Xia Zhi failed. Xia Meng glanced at the store a few times and quickly saw all the products, but she didn't show any excitement at all. Xia Zhi resisted the pressure and picked up the

She bought a shell-shaped pendant. Before she could ask anything, Xia Meng took one look at it and continued to look around at the products.

Xia Zhi put down the shell. It seems that not everyone likes shells.

There was nothing interesting to see here, so Xia Zhi turned his attention to the other side, where products such as hairpins, hairpins, and bracelets were placed. Xia Zhi walked over and started looking at it.

Xia Zhi is not good at guessing girls' thoughts. He can only try his best to find something that he thinks is suitable for his sister. The long time of living together has allowed Xia Zhi to understand some of his sister's preferences, and he doesn't know

Whether he was influenced by her or she was influenced by him, the two people's preferences were somewhat similar, and this was the basis that Xia Zhi relied on.

Xia Zhi just took a cursory glance and found the item that deserved his attention. He picked it up and turned around to call her sister. However, when he turned around, he saw Xia Meng standing behind him and was startled.

Jump.

"When did you come here...forget it. Xiao Meng, what do you think of this hair tie? You shouldn't hate it if it's sky blue, right?"

With blue sky, white clouds, green mountains and green water, it is natural that the favored people of heaven like the blue color of the sky. As for whether there will be a favored person of clouds or a person of mountains and rivers, this is not something that Xia Zhi should consider.

She didn't look at the hair tie in Xia Zhi's hand, but looked at Xia Zhi's face: "Do you think I look good wearing this?"

"It should look good. No, it will definitely look good." Of course, the licking dog has to lick it to the end: "I think it should be very suitable for Xiaomeng."

"...Really?" Xia Meng paused for a while: "Then write it down first, and then go and look at it elsewhere."

"No need." Xia Zhi thought for a moment: "It's not expensive anyway, and it's quite suitable. Let's buy it. Let's take a look at other ones by the way. Maybe there are some good ones too?" After saying that, Xia Zhi took it.

After taking off the hair tie, she looked at other products. Xia Meng watched from behind as Xia Zhi continued to look at the products, while she thought about it and followed.

Although I didn't see anything else that my sister might like, I already had a chance of survival in my hands. Although it was only a small part, the chance of survival didn't matter whether it was small or not. The result of gathering the sand into a tower was to go home alive.

However, Xia Meng's temper seemed to have improved this time when he came back, and it wasn't like he was in a life-or-death situation.

Maybe it’s because it’s been so rare for me to come back for so long?

Never mind.

The gift I chose based on my intuition this time seems pretty good, so I should be able to continue choosing this way in the future.

It's a pity that Xia Zhi didn't see anything in this store that she liked, or that Xia Meng liked. So after checking out, Xia Zhi took Xia Meng out of the store

.This is just one of them. There are many similar stores on the street, so you can take your time and take a look.

Next, he continued walking along the streets connected to the square and visited all the shops in the place. Xia Zhi changed the original goal of the gift from an inedible decorative object to one that was both decorative and edible.

When I was walking past a cake shop, I happened to see Xia Meng looking inside, and Xia Zhi was also worrying about what to buy. As a result, it naturally became like this...

Although I was worried about whether she would be able to eat after returning home, since my sister wanted it, I had no reason to refuse, so it ended up like this.

It was past twelve o'clock at noon, Xia Zhi was carrying a bag full of food, and the small box with the headband was in Xia Meng's hand.

My whole body has become heavier, and only my wallet has become lighter and lighter... About half of the hundreds of dollars I just asked my mother for are gone... It's really hopeless.

Go back and talk to your mother, maybe you can ask for more. Xia Meng felt quite happy, and Xia Zhi noticed a smile on her little face that was not too hard to detect.

Xiao Meng, give me a smile and I will give you two hundred yuan.

You can't say this, because if you say it, someone might die.

Walking along the riverside road, Xia Zhi saw many people walking on the other side of the bridge. After thinking about it, it must be the end of high school. Xia Zhi's mood became very subtle. A year ago, he was among this group of people.

As a member of the Chinese Communist Party, you come to school in the morning, then go home for lunch and then come to school immediately. Well, it helps with digestion.

I wonder if I will see my former high school classmates... It is possible, but the probability is not very high. And they have only studied together for one... half a year. Even if they are former classmates, there is no behind-the-scenes feelings.

, even if you see it, you probably won’t recognize it quickly.

"What, do you want to go back to high school?"

"It's not that... I just feel that all my former classmates are still in class and I have already started to take vacation. It feels a bit strange."

"Don't you regret it? Go to Japan to study."

I seem to hear a very familiar syntax of syntax...

"I don't regret it... It's very easy to study there. Classes start at eight or nine every day and end at three or four in the afternoon. It's very suitable for people like me." Although other than that, it's better to live at home, and I still have to work every day.

, and also have to deal with neurotics and classmates who don’t know what they are thinking in their heads, but they cannot say such things out loud.

Isn't it the person in front of me who made me decide to study abroad?

"Why are you looking at me with that meaningful look?" Xia Meng looked at him expressionlessly.

"What? No, I didn't. Don't talk nonsense."

Xia Zhi hurriedly retorted, but he didn't see the person walking down the bridge looking closely at this side. Then he walked over when neither of them was paying attention, and asked in a doubtful tone: "

Xia Zhi?"

When Xia Zhi heard someone calling his name, he turned around and took a look... Well, he didn't have much impression of the person.

"I am. Are you?"

It will definitely be a super difficult problem to teach foreigners this sentence.

"...My name is Hua Shiyao, your high school classmate..."

Xia Zhi's expression became extremely embarrassed, but he still... had no impression.

"Oh, I remember!"

Just because you don't know him doesn't mean you can't pretend that you know him.

But his acting skills were easily seen through by his sister who was standing by, and she couldn't help but turn her face away, unwilling to look at this embarrassing guy.
