Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 251

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 thinks that the drift bottle is very good, and she would be very happy if someone gave it to her, 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, the Hell Bomber is still in her room as a decoration. I think most girls are quite satisfied with such cute things.But obviously, there are no stores specializing in large puppets like this in such a small county. What is available is basically white or black bears piled on a shelf in a supermarket.It doesn't seem very realistic to buy a gift that can satisfy Xia Meng.

But if she still can't find it in the end, she can try her luck, and 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 shops, but Xia Meng is not very interested in the things inside. If she continues shopping at this speed, she will probably Not even half an hour before I have to go home.It's so small here, there's nothing you can do about it.

"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.

From the outside, you can roughly understand 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, they sell pendants, hairpins, headbands, wristbands, etc., and they also sell slightly more expensive pens and other stationery. However, stores with mixed product categories are very common in small counties. After all, if you open a specialized store, in addition to bookstores, For a store with such a high demand, it would be difficult for a store that only sells a certain product to survive.

It's as if the Tobacco Hotel also sells 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 items on the side, but generally there are more items that are geared toward women.

Probably because it was school time, there wasn't even a single customer in the store. Even the store manager was bored and playing with his phone at the checkout counter.However, she was quite dedicated. When she saw Xia Zhi and Xia Meng walking 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, as well as 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. Most of them are small animal-shaped decorations. This is what Xia Zhi needs to pay most attention to.Looking at the rows, almost all of them are common animals such as kittens, puppies, and rabbits. There are also cute versions of lions, tigers, and elephants. As for marine creatures, there are starfish, shells, dolphins, and some things that Xia Zhi can’t name. Fish also look very cute. Of course, as the star of marine life among humans, there are also dolphins.

But, yes!There are just no sea lions!Not even the walrus.It can be seen that these two marine creatures that even look similar do not have much reputation in the human world.But in this way, Xia Zhi would 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.

Unfortunately, Xia Zhi failed.Xia Meng glanced around the store and quickly saw all the products, but she didn't show any excitement at all.Xia Zhi resisted the pressure and picked up 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 displayed.Xia Zhi walked over and watched.

Xia Zhi is not good at guessing girls' thoughts. He can only try his best to find what he thinks is suitable for his sister.The long time of living together allowed Xia Zhi to understand some of his sister's preferences. He didn't know whether he was influenced by her or she was influenced by him. The two people's preferences were slightly similar. This is The basis that Xia Zhi relies 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?"

Blue sky, white clouds, green mountains and green water, it is natural that the proud man likes sky blue.As for whether there will be a proud son of the clouds or a proud son of the mountains and rivers, this is not something 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 Xiao Meng."

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

"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-looking ones too?" After saying that, Xia Zhi took it. I picked up the headband and looked at other products.Xia Meng watched from behind as Xia Zhi continued to look at the products, while she thought for a while 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 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 him to come back for so long?

do not care.

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 he liked, or that Xia Meng liked.So after paying the bill, Xia Zhi took Xia Meng out of the store.This is just one of them. There are many similar shops 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. status.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, but naturally it ended up 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, only my wallet is getting 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 mom, maybe you can get some more.Xia Meng felt quite happy, and Xia Zhi noticed a smile on her face that was not too hard to detect.

Xiao Meng, give me a smile and I will give you 200 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 across the bridge. After thinking about it, it should be that high school is over.Xia Zhi's mood became very subtle. A year ago, he was one of this group of people. He came to school in the morning, then went home to eat at noon and then came 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 had only been studying together for a... half a year. Even if they were former classmates, they didn't have any feelings behind them. Even if they saw them, they probably wouldn't be able to recognize them quickly.

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

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

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

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 be 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, but they cannot say such things.

The person in front of me was the one 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 of an impression.

"I am. Are you?"

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

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

Xia Zhi's expression became extremely awkward, but he still...has no impression.

"Oh, I remember!"

Just because you don’t know someone doesn’t mean you can’t pretend that you do.

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.
