Chapter 33 Buying Gifts
The two came to Xinhua Mall and temporarily stored their luggage at the front desk.

"What are you going to buy?"

Li Chenyang asked as he walked onto the elevator.

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 his family.

The ones she chose were very cost-effective.

"It seems that your sister took the entrance examination 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. Mesmerized.

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. On the contrary, it 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. [-] 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 move higher. The treatment in middle schools in the county is better, and excellent teachers will try their best to climb up.

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 students to live on campus.

"What about No. [-] Middle School?"

Li Chenyang asked.

"If you can't make it to 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. [-] Middle School and wondered if she could help. Feng Shuangshuang obviously didn't think about it. He chatted with Chen Qiuya on the road and didn't mention his sister.

At her age, she didn't understand all the twists and turns, and she thought grades were 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 was 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 can buy gifts for my family and I will do it myself."

To get money back home, Feng Shuangshuang deliberately withdrew more than 1000 yuan. In this era, there was no mobile payment. Although credit cards could be swiped, it was not very popular in small places. More than 90.00% of people used cash.

A skirt cost more than 180 yuan, which was relatively expensive. She gave it to the shopping guide to pack, but Feng Shuangshuang had no intention of looking at it anymore.

"Don't you buy one for yourself?"

Li Chenyang asked.

Feng Shuangshuang shook his head and said, "I have so many clothes, I can't finish them."

Li Chenyang was helpless. This girl was too frugal on 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 had no intention of adding any clothes.

Feng Shuangshuang went to the supermarket again. She didn't know how to smoke. At Li Chenyang's suggestion, she bought a pack of Yuxi cigarettes for her father for [-], which was about the same price as the skirt just now.

As for my sister, she bought a big bear for more than 50 yuan, an Ultraman toy for 60 yuan for her brother, and some snacks, for a total of only [-] and [-] yuan.

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 bags of clothes. Feng Shuangshuang was holding a big bear... This bear was so big that it needed to be held by one person.

"You really don't want to buy anything?" Feng Shuangshuang was a little embarrassed, and Li Chenyang didn't have any free space on his hands.

"Buy it, didn't you 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 was I not 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. It is 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 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. Of course, he didn't have much money and could only buy one hundred grams.

My mother now basically has gold jewelry, 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 they 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 was a soldier and he is also a relatively open-minded person. After having three daughters, he decided not to have more children.

Mom Tang Hong is the eldest, and there are also second aunt Tang Ying and younger aunt Tang Xue.

From the name, we can also see Li Chenyang's grandfather's style of doing things. He 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.

Seeing the young man and woman entering the door, the salesperson of the gold store did not look down upon them and asked enthusiastically.

"What jewelry do you two want to see?"

"Buy a gold bar, one hundred grams is enough."

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 this young man who looked like a student to buy a hundred dollars. 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 at home who is waiting to be married.

"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 today’s price.”

the salesperson said.

"How many per gram?"

"330 three."

Li Chenyang checked today's gold price. It was 330 yuan per gram. Gold bars sold for 330 yuan, which was [-] yuan more for [-] grams. 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, pointed to the lanyard behind the gold shop salesman, and asked.

"Can you show me one of the lanyards?"
