152. Children are the easiest to get cold feet

what is moneyIsn't money just a bastard?

Many people who have no money like to say this sentence, but in fact it is just to laugh at themselves, just like Yang Yi in the previous life.

But once you have money, this bastard becomes a good thing through and through. It can realize many wishes that you didn't dare to think about before, it can make life rich and rich, and it can make people smile more and less. sad face.

For example, buying a bag for my mother is definitely a luxury bag.

Yang Min's material requirements are not high. Although she also has a female beauty-loving nature, her clothes are mostly warm, and she doesn't like to put on makeup, and she doesn't have much feeling for gold and silver jewelry—this is the case when the mother and son have no money. , After having money, it is still the same, life has not changed much.

But she also has a hobby that she can't resist, and that is bags.Whether it is a bag or a wallet, Yang Min just likes this kind of soft leather and carefully sewn objects.

It feels smooth to the touch, has an intoxicating texture, and the unique taste of those leathers.

That's why Yang Yi took advantage of his mother's birthday to ask Fatty to buy her a classic bag from the Hermès store in Shanghai.After all, it was when Yang Yi had just received the first copyright fee.

After Yang Min received such a gift, he naturally liked it with all his heart, and asked Yang the price of a bag. After learning that it was around 500 yuan, although his face was full of pain and heartache, but because of his son's future And filial piety, the corners of his eyes and brows still burst out with unconcealable joy.

Yang Min is a person who is used to poverty all the year round, so he is not used to suddenly spending hundreds of dollars on things.But no matter how you say it, it's all the son's heart, and after a while of heartache, it's over.On the contrary, later Yang Min would show off her bag whenever she met, not because of the price, but because the person who gave her the bag was her own son.

But now when he suddenly heard Yang Man say that this bag is worth 10,000+, Yang Min couldn't react, and then some brains suddenly laughed and said: "Xiao Man, you read it wrong? This... this bag, your brother said it About 500 yuan."

The men were still looking at the bag in surprise, and swallowed speechlessly when they heard Yang Min say "only" 500 yuan, but immediately believed Yang Min's words.

That girl Yang Man must have misread it. Ladies carry bags, don’t they all look the same, and little girls can tell the difference between good and bad!

Although the living conditions of the two mothers and children have been greatly improved, and everyone is aware of this situation, it is a bit outrageous to say that Yang Yi spent 10 yuan to buy a bag for his mother.

At this time, the driver in front also smiled and turned around, glanced at the rear compartment, and then looked at the bag between Yang Min and Yang Man in the rearview mirror: "The little girl must have read it wrong, 10,000+? My The car is only less than 18, what kind of bag is that? Can you exchange me for a car?"

As soon as the old driver said this, almost everyone nodded repeatedly, and the unnatural expressions on the faces of the two aunts were much less, and they echoed with a bit of a sour aftertaste: "Really, there is really that money! Spending 10,000+ to buy a bag is better than buying a car yourself.”

"This girl, I was shocked! I also said that whoever has nothing to do and spends so much money on this is really sick of his head. "

A small turmoil just passed, and Yang Man heard that the elders believed so, and it was not good to argue more about things that she was not sure about, so she opened her mouth a bit, but finally said nothing.

But the suspicion in my heart is always lingering there - the style and texture of this bag, and the small "..." logo on it, are exactly the same as the bag of my classmate's mother.

……

After driving for less than a quarter of an hour, the car turned from the provincial highway into a side road paved with dirt. At this time, the inside of the car became a little bumpy. Because it was not convenient to wear earphones, Yang Yi took off the earplugs, Stretch out and look at the scenery outside the window.

"Brother..." Seeing Yang Yi take off the earphones, Yang Man hesitated and lightly touched Yang Yi's arm, but got no response.For a while, she didn't know whether Yang Yi really didn't feel it, or pretended not to know, Yang Man couldn't continue to greet her.

But Yang Min, who was sitting in the middle, noticed Yang Man's small movements, so he asked her with a small smile, "Why don't you sit here with Second Aunt and talk to your brother?"

Yang Man hesitated for a moment, then supported the driver's seat and stood up halfway. After Yang Min moved to the farthest position, Yang Man sat down with a little restraint, supporting the seat with her hands.

At this time, Yang Lin in the back row noticed the strange movement in front of her, so she poked her cousin who had a similar smell with wide eyes, and motioned Yang Ming to look ahead with her eyes.

The two looked at the front row, looked at each other again, and blinked in disbelief.Why do you always feel so abnormal today?Even Yang Man, who is the most pampered in the family and the only girl among the four sisters, took the initiative to find that Yang Yi?

Compared with Yang Yi, Yang Ming and Yang Lin are only half a year younger. Although they often played and played together when they were young, there was no barrier between them, but as Yang Yi's father's bad habits that he never admitted gradually revealed. , and the downfall of the Yang family, the two brothers gradually excluded Yang Yi from the circle of the three under the constant advice of their mother.

After everyone entered junior high school, a childish and shallow world view gradually formed, and their own ideas became more. When I went to see Yang Yi again, I didn't treat him as an older brother anymore... After two or three years passed, I had my own Yang Yi's small circle doesn't feel that Yang Yi is an elder brother at all.Although they are not bossy at ordinary times, they are also very unfamiliar with each other.

At least the title of brother, the two brothers have not used it for a long time.

So when they saw this situation now——Yang Man, who usually disdained Yang Yi even more than they did, was uncharacteristically sitting next to Yang Yi's mother and son when they got in the car, and now took the initiative to approach Yang Yi. I understand, what the hell is going on?

But now Yang Man didn't have a rearview mirror in front of her, so she didn't see Yang Ming and Yang Lin's strange expressions on their faces. When she finally sat down completely, she lightly touched Yang Yi's elbow again: "elder brother……"

After repeating the words several times, I still didn't ask, but instead said, "What kind of tape are you listening to?"

elder brother?The second time Yang Man called Yang Yi that way, he still didn't react.

I have long been used to the rejection of my three siblings, and when I really need to say hello, I just say "Hi" or "Hey", so Yang Yi just never thought that Yang Man's "Brother" It was him who called.

His mother slapped Yang Man on the head again, and Yang Yi came back to his senses. Seeing that the two people beside him were looking at him, Yang Man was still slightly embarrassed, and Yang Min looked like a mother. Wei Yan: "Manman called you just now, why didn't you agree?"

"Ah? Oh!" Yang Yi was taken aback when he heard the words, and then turned to Yang Man suspiciously: "What's the matter, what's the matter?"

"Just to ask, brother, what tape are you listening to?" Yang Man hesitated for a while, but still asked with an unnatural smile.

elder brother?Yang Yiyi was stunned, it was so strange to call it, how many years has it been since anyone called it that?Some were puzzled and looked at Yang Man amusedly: "What was your name just now? Did I hear it wrong?"

Yang Yi's little cousin was blushing at first, but the reservedness she had in front of this elder brother a few years ago, it's not like she didn't have it, she still had some.Hearing Yang Yi jokingly asked himself a rhetorical question, he snorted and said, "You didn't hear me when I called you brother, what song are you listening to if your ears are not good!"

This girl is actually a tsundere, Yang Yi curled the corner of his mouth, and stopped teasing her, and immediately prepared to take out the Walkman from his inner pocket.

Unexpectedly, Yang Ming and Yang Lin paid attention to the front row for a long time, thinking that Yang Man was talking to Yang Yi because she wanted to listen to the song, so she stretched her neck and smiled, "Sister, I have them here too, come on." The Aihua I bought just a month ago, it has a transparent case, and it can also automatically flip the belt, so I can listen to it for you.”

The two brothers couldn't say that they had any bad intentions, but because Yang Man was always with them, now that such a sudden change has happened, she always feels a little uncomfortable in her heart.

Probably the mentality of grabbing playmates with children is somewhat similar.

But before Yang Ming could finish speaking, he saw Yang Yi pull out a small iron box the size of a magnetic tape from his pocket, with a silver-white alloy shell, two or three small buttons on it, and the earphone cable hanging beside it. There is a wire control with an LCD screen.

hiss!Yang Lin immediately swallowed a mouthful of saliva involuntarily, she was still completely unconscious.

It is also the symbol of Aihua, but it is the ultra-thin alloy solo that Yang Ming and Yang Lin have coveted countless times.

Yang Yi didn't notice the strange expressions of the two people in the back row, so he just pulled out the tape and handed it to Yang Man: "Would you like to listen to the comic soundtrack of "Yunhuang"?"

It's not that Yang Yi wants to pretend to be 13 Canadians in front of his younger siblings, but because he has experienced the mp3 and mp4 era of later generations, he subconsciously doesn't think how important this little machine is, and he bought it just for nostalgia.

Thinking about the youthful years when I was in middle school, everyone had a walkman, pulled out the headphone cable from the desk, wrapped it in a big circle inside the clothes, and finally stuck it into the ear from the neckline, Yang Yi really couldn’t do anything about it. Forget about this little thing.

It's just that in the past, I could only ask my good classmates to borrow their machines for fun when they had dinner or went out for activities.Sometimes when I meet someone who is a bit stingy, I have to prepare two AA batteries myself.

Like the ultra-thin model in his hand now, it is simply an existence that can make the whole class envious. Of course, Yang Yi at that time did not have such a chance to experience it for himself.

Handing the machine and the tape to Yang Man, who was still in a daze, she accidentally looked back at Yang Ming and Yang Lin, which made Yang Yi confused about the situation.

Only then did he notice that the focus of the eyes of the three siblings was actually on his own Aihua single, and Yang Yi suddenly reacted.

Isn't this the envious and eager look in my previous life when I saw a similar machine in the hands of my classmates?

Uh, it was my own negligence!

Yang Yi sighed a little guiltily. Originally, among the gifts he brought back this time, there were Walkmans for his uncle and his grandchildren, but he just forgot about Yang Man and the others.

"If you like this, go there." A pair of cousins ​​Yang smiled and turned to the back row: "I originally brought this thing for Sisi and Xiaojian in my hometown, but I forgot yours, sorry . Otherwise, I will give you one each when you return to the city after the Chinese New Year.”

They were just a few children. Yang Man and the others were his younger siblings in the previous life, but after being reborn, Yang Yi always felt that they were more like his nieces and nephews.

It's a very subtle and strange feeling.

But no matter what, the estrangement and hatred towards these younger brothers and sisters in the previous life has basically disappeared after rebirth, and what is left is only the mentality of being funny and not bothering at all.

"Ah, ah?" Yang Man, who had just received the solo player in her hand, did not know how many times this was the first time she was in a daze. She used to have the opportunity to experience this ultra-thin Walkman only when she was with her girlfriends. I was very envious, but now I suddenly heard Yang Yi say that this machine is my own, and my mind went blank for a while, not knowing what to say.

If you say you don’t want it, it’s a lie. Children’s material requirements are not like those of adults. They don’t bother to look at things they don’t like, no matter how expensive they are; It's hard to say that you don't want this kind of rejection.

So looking at the small and exquisite machine in her hand, and looking at Yang Yi's very casual and gentle face, Yang Man suddenly felt a little sour.

The last bit of reserve in her heart encouraged herself to decline, but the desire for the ultra-thin single-handle and the smooth and thin feel in her hand made her really unable to say no.

"Oh, why don't you give such an old thing to my sister!"

Just when Yang Man didn't know what to do, Yang Min joked beside him: "No matter what, you need three new ones, and you forgot all the New Year's gifts from your younger siblings, you should be punished!"

Being bullied by his mother, Yang Yihao raised his hands in surrender: "This is for Xiaoman to listen to now. After returning home, the three of them will each have a new one."

"What's new? I said just now that you don't want luan to spend money, you come again!" The carriage is so big, and Yang Weidong, who was sitting in the last row, naturally heard it clearly, although he was surprised by the generosity of his sister and nephew , but still stood up and pretended to be unhappy: "Aren't they still young, what kind of New Year gift do they want? Besides, Yang Yi is their elder brother, not an elder, so there is no reason to ask Yang Yi to give something!"

Dead old man!

Second dad is so annoying!

The second uncle is true!

At this time, the three children slandered at the same time with a tacit understanding.
