Yuanyuan: "How can Brother Song Yi still read foreign magazines? I want to read them too!"

Dong Dong rubbed his round head and said, "Brother brought back several books. I'll show them to you later. But can you understand English?"

Yuanyuan: "I don't read the text, I just look at the pictures!"

Tuantuan raised his hand, "I want to see it too. But my English is not very good, so I may have a lot of questions for my brother."

Tuantuan has been learning English since childhood. The school doesn’t teach her, so Anhua and An Bohuai are the ones who teach her. Yuanyuan was forced by Anhua to study for a while, but she was inconsistent and had little interest in learning. Her results were mediocre.

Song Yi smiled and said to Tuantuan: "My English level is also average, I can study with you and let Big Brother teach us."

Dong Dong: "Then let's set up a study group."

Yuanyuan's eyes widened in disbelief. "Oh my god, is this still summer vacation? You guys are a bunch of...crazy study maniacs!"

She doesn't even want to do her summer homework!

An Hua said at the right time: "If you want to study, you can go to the study room on the second floor. I will find a small blackboard for you later."

"Thank you, Mom." Several children said in unison.

"By the way, little dumplings and little Yuanzi, this time your brother brought you a rare gift."

"Huh? What rare gift?" Yuanyuan became excited when she heard about the gift.

Dongdong smiled at her, went to the second floor to look for his luggage, and came down after a while with a few glass bottles with red trademarks in his hands.

"Coca-Cola?" An Hua called out.

"Auntie An, have you ever drunk Coca-Cola?" Song Yi asked.

"Hmm...I drank it when I was a kid." This body was born before the liberation, when Coca-Cola had not yet withdrawn from the mainland, so it was normal to drink it.

An Hua had read in the newspaper that earlier this year, COFCO and Coca-Cola had cooperated and Coca-Cola was introduced back to the mainland. However, it was currently only sold in the Friendship Stores in Beijing and Guangzhou and in foreign-related hotels, and foreign exchange coupons were required to purchase it.

"Where did you get the foreign exchange certificates?"

Dong Dong explained, "I exchanged it with others. One of my classmates' parents are both foreign officials. But the price of this Coca-Cola is quite expensive. If converted into RMB, it is close to two yuan per bottle. We bought less so that everyone can try it."

"What is this? It's dark and soupy. Is it a drink?" Yuanyuan licked her lips. "I want to have a sip."

An Hua suggested: "Coca-Cola tastes better if it's chilled. Why not put it in the refrigerator and drink it with dinner in the evening?"

Dongdong put several bottles of Coke into the refrigerator.

It was a rare occasion for the whole family to get together, so An Hua called Qiu Shushen and An Bohuai to come over for dinner together in the evening.

Ever since she put the Coke in the refrigerator, Yuanyuan always walked past the refrigerator intentionally or unintentionally, and even opened the refrigerator door several times. She was visibly thinking about the Coke, and felt itchy in her heart.

After finally getting to dinner time, An Hua finally took out the Coke, poured it into a glass, and placed a glass in front of each person.

Xiao Xiao was puzzled. "It looks like soy sauce soup. What the hell is this?"

Yuanyuan answered quickly: "This is Coca-Cola, Dad, a drink like soda."

"Really?" Xiao Chen took a sip suspiciously, then frowned and commented, "Strange, it tastes bad."

An Bohuai also raised his cup and took a sip, "It's a long-lost taste... Before liberation, Coke was a drink only the upper class could enjoy."

Wang Caiyan and Yang Tao looked at each other and thought, what the old man said is still the same now. Ordinary people and farmers probably have never even heard of what Coke is, let alone drinking it. When they found out the price of Coke, they were shocked.

Fortunately, Xiao Xiao didn't ask the price of the Coke. After taking a sip and not liking it, he gave it to the eager Yuanyuan.

Yuanyuan held the cool cup, gulped down two gulps, let out a comfortable "ah", and then said excitedly:

"I declare that my favorite soda from now on is Coca-Cola!"

The oldest child in the stroller beside the table made “ah ah” noises, and his whole little body fluttered around, as if to say that he wanted to drink too.

An Hua turned her head to look at her son, and with a smile she stuffed the bottle into his arms.

Little one, do you still want to drink Coke? Just drink your milk obediently!
