When leaving Zhonghai, Xu Yiyang was still full of reluctance.
Although he only took a few quick glances, the eighteen-year-old Gu Sijia still made his forty-year-old heart surge with excitement.
However, no matter how reluctant he is, he still has to go back and face his own life and face the college entrance examination in more than a hundred days.
When we returned to Yingzhou, it was already past eleven o'clock at night.
Because they don't trust him, my parents and sister haven't gone to bed yet.
Seeing Xu Yiyang dragging large and small suitcases through the door, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu's mother looked at him and asked with surprise: "Why did you buy so many things?"
Xu Yiyang smiled and said: "I bought a computer, a projector, and some things for you, dad and sister."
As he said that, Xu Yiyang put down his computer bag and projector, and said, "I'm afraid you might think I'm spending too much money, so I didn't buy you many things. Mom and Dad each have a seasonal coat. You guys try it."
Xu Yiyang remembers that in Yingzhou in this era, the most fashionable and luxurious clothes for middle-aged men and women were leather jackets and woolen coats.
Almost every middle-aged man desires to own a genuine leather jacket that is stylish, practical and can be worn in spring, autumn and winter. However, because the price is relatively expensive, not many people can really afford it.
Mothers respect the material and workmanship of clothes the most, with woolen being the most popular.
If anyone can wear a woolen coat, every middle-aged lady I know will definitely come up to touch the material. If the material is good and the workmanship is very fine, you will be envious.
When Xu Yiyang handed the leather jacket and woolen coat to his parents respectively, both of them were shocked and speechless.
Xu's mother carefully touched the material of the coat and blurted out: "Yangyang, the material of this cloth is so good, it must cost a lot of money!"
After saying that, he touched the jacket in Dad Xu's hand and said immediately: "Real leather?"
Xu Yiyang smiled and said: "My mother knows the goods! You will know if it is good or not as soon as you get started."
Xu Ma said casually: "Mom worked in a clothing factory. I have seen and touched all kinds of materials."
"Yes..." Xu Yiyang felt a little sad and hurriedly said: "Mom, you and dad can try it on first."
The woolen coat he bought for his mother is a dark camel color that is versatile and will not go out of style easily. This color complements the skin tone and temperament very well. Mom really looks much younger when she wears it.
The leather jacket I bought for my father is relatively trendy. The navy blue color not only makes me look slimmer, but also makes me look more energetic and stylish.
When Xu's parents tried on new clothes, Xu's mother couldn't help but look happy. However, when they looked at the price tags, they both felt heartbroken.
Xu's mother said: "Yangyang, why did you buy such expensive clothes for my mother? She is not willing to wear them..."
Xu Yiyang smiled and said: "Mom, I can make money now, so you have to adapt to it early. If I can't even bear to wear clothes, why should I make so much money?"
Xu Ma was a little embarrassed to ask him to say it, but she liked this dress no matter how much she looked at it.
Father Xu couldn't put it down and touched the leather jacket on his body, his face was filled with joy, and he said cheerfully: "Thanks to my son, our old Xu can also wear a leather jacket."
At this time, Xu Yishan looked at Xu Yiyang eagerly and asked cautiously: "Brother, did you buy me Nike shoes..."
Xu Yiyang slapped his forehead: "Oh, I forgot..."
Xu Yishan looked a little disappointed, but she quickly returned to normal and said hurriedly: "It's okay. If you go there next time, just remember to check it out for me."
"I lied to you." Xu Yiyang smiled slightly, took out two shoe boxes from the big box, and said, "I bought them all for you, try them to see if they fit."
Xu Yishan stared blankly at the two Nike and Adidas shoe boxes on the ground, looked at Xu Yiyang in disbelief, and asked: "Brother, why did you buy me so many shoes..."
Xu Yiyang said: "One pair is air-cushion shoes and the other is jogging shoes. You can wear the two pairs interchangeably."
Xu Yishan nodded and said happily: "Thank you, brother..."
After saying that, I carefully opened the Nike shoe box and found a pair of beautiful white air-cushion shoes, which were exactly the kind I liked most. I was so happy that I couldn't help but smile.
The little girl couldn't wait to put on the shoes, stepped on them, walked around and jumped, and said in surprise: "Brother, these shoes are so comfortable, the soles are very soft, and they are very light, and they stick to your feet!"
Xu Yiyang smiled slightly: "As long as you like it."
As he said that, he helped her take out another pair of Adidas shoes. This was a pair of black and white thin striped jogging shoes, which are also a classic style of Adidas.
Xu Yishan tried it on again and found that although this pair of shoes was not as soft as the previous pair, it was lighter than the previous pair and very comfortable.
The little girl looked at the shoes on her feet and opened her mouth with joy. Xu Yiyang looked at her silly look and felt full of love in his heart.
In my previous life, before I had some success in starting a business, I was never able to really do anything for my sister. I must try my best to make up for it in this life.
Immediately, he handed the backpack he bought to Xu Yishan and said, "Here's this for you too. You've been carrying that schoolbag for almost three years. It seemed like there were holes in it last time. Let's get a new one."
Xu Yishan's eyes widened, looking at the trendy black backpack, and blurted out: "Brother, didn't you buy this for yourself..."
Xu Yiyang smiled and said: "I don't even go to class, so why do I need a schoolbag?"
Saying that, Xu Yiyang reminded her: "The clothes in the bag are also bought for you."
"And clothes?!"
When Xu Yishan took out a pair of Nike sweatpants and an Adidas jacket from her schoolbag, the little girl looked at Xu Yiyang with red eyes and a guilty face, and said: "Brother, you bought me so many things and spent a lot of money." Money, right? I still have more than a thousand yuan, can I give it all to you?"
Xu Yiyang was afraid that she would feel guilty, so he said with a smile: "Looking at your achievements, you are embarrassed to spend this little money? The little money you spent is not as good as the fraction your brother spent on himself."
Xu Yishan asked curiously: "What did you buy for yourself?"
Xu Yiyang took out his newly bought laptop from IBM's computer bag and said, "It's just such a small thing, it costs 23,000."
"Ouch!" The whole family was dumbfounded.
Not to mention that 23,000 yuan was a huge sum of money in itself. The key point was that what he bought with 23,000 yuan was actually just a small, boxy computer. The impact of this huge contrast was much stronger.
Moreover, spending 23,000 yuan to buy a laptop these days is even more shocking than spending 300,000 yuan to buy a laptop more than 20 years later.
Xu Yiyang's trick was indeed effective. Originally, his parents and sister felt that Xu Yiyang spent too much money on them, but suddenly they saw that a small computer was worth 23,000 yuan, and they completely forgot about what they had just done.
Xu's mother said in surprise: "Son, this computer is made of gold, right... It's just such a gadget, twenty-three thousand yuan? I heard that a set of big computers costs only a few thousand yuan."
Xu Yiyang said: "The smaller the computer, the more expensive it is."
After speaking, he pointed to the projector and said, "This one is not cheap either, it costs more than 10,000 yuan."
The family of three was stunned, but no one thought that Xu Yiyang was spending money indiscriminately, because these things were all used for training classes and were hardware investments.
Xu's mother looked around and said in surprise: "Son, you didn't buy yourself any new clothes or anything?"
Xu Yiyang smiled and said: "It's not necessary. I still have to teach students. It's not appropriate to dress too well or too flashy."
Dad Xu remembered something at this time and said hurriedly: "By the way, there is something I haven't told you yet."
After finishing speaking, he took out a copy of today's "Yingzhou Daily", pointed to an area the size of a cigarette box, and said, "Look, Philharmonic Education has also set up a speaking training class and has started enrolling students."
"Aile Education?"
Xu Yiyang frowned and took a closer look and found that the advertisement said in red font: "Good news: Registration for the Aile Education English Speaking Training Class has begun!"
In the small print below the title, more detailed information is written.
This training class claims that its teacher comes from a key high school in Quancheng and is an English teacher with rich teaching experience, but it does not clearly indicate which high school it is from. Xu Yiyang is probably just a cover for false propaganda. After all, the teacher of the training institution, It is the hardest hit area for fake resumes.
Looking further back, Xu Yiyang discovered that Lin Tianyi's English speaking training class had the same specific curriculum as his own, divided into three levels: junior, middle and high.
Even in terms of fees, she keeps the same pace as herself, 100 yuan for 8 classes.
Moreover, she also specifically stated in the advertisement that there are ample places for training classes and parents are welcome to sign up.
This means that Lin Tianyi saw that his training class was full and many parents were eagerly looking forward to it, so he wanted to just pick up what was ready and eat the part that he couldn't eat.
Xu Yiyang didn't expect that before he went to trouble Lin Tianyi, she would directly compete with him.
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but want to give this Lin Tianyi some color!
