Chapter 261 Xiao Qi Buys Gifts



The next day, Liang Jiajia got up early in the morning.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to sleep in, but she has to go back today.

The time I made an appointment with my mother.

These days she is like a bird released from a cage, very free and having a lot of fun.

It was busy and fulfilling, and I finished my homework ahead of time.

She really wanted to stay a few more days until class started, but Ms. Liang was worried that the holiday would be over and there would be too much traffic and people, so she asked her to go home a day early so that she could have some rest.

It was already a surprise to let her go out alone, and her mother agreed to whatever she wanted to do.

So I have to go back today.

High-speed rail at noon.

Xiaoqi helped her pack her luggage last night. She didn't buy any local specialties because she was worried that her luggage was too heavy and she couldn't carry it back by herself.

When Xiaoqi woke up in the morning, he did his usual practice of calligraphy and running.

Jia Jia also got up early. She didn’t expect that her teacher, who had broken the record in the marathon, still insisted on running. If it were her... She ranked third in the English test, and she was so proud that she didn’t want to flip through the English book. But this time when she goes back, she will study hard like her teacher. Even if she is very good, she still has to study hard.

The marathon was indeed over, but Xiaoqi still insisted on running. The feeling of running was different at this time. He always felt a little urgent before, but now he felt much more relaxed.

Maybe it’s because I finished running a marathon, and I feel that 30,000 steps a day is simply too easy.

Xiaoqi started listening to other people's speeches while running again. When he got tired, he changed it and listened to Japanese programs. If he got bored, he could switch to Korean content.

Kim Jae-yeon introduced her to a Korean variety show that was very funny and relaxing, with simple sentences, making it very suitable for beginners.

Xiaoqi found that learning one language was difficult, and learning two was a bit strenuous, but when he started learning the third, he felt that they seemed to be very similar and not difficult at all.

Maybe it feels like I don't have to worry about having too much debt.

When I heard that the school director, Ms. Su, could speak eight languages, I thought it was too impressive and too far away. But when I actually started learning it myself, I found that it was not that far away or difficult.

Knowing is difficult, but doing is easy. This is actually a kind of practice.

After running and practicing calligraphy, Xiaoqi felt like he had returned to a normal day and felt very relieved.

Then I took Jia Jia out to eat.

Eating is still very important. Xiaoqi is a person who will not miss even breakfast.

Maybe it was because when he was a child, during the Chinese New Year, his family would come to collect debts, and he had a cold stove and a hungry stomach. He was so impressed by this that Xiaoqi was always very punctual and timely when it came to eating.

There is no shortage of food.

After breakfast, I took Jia Jia to the train station.

Because I had luggage, I took a taxi. I originally wanted to take a Shenzhou taxi, but the school is quite remote. There are Shenzhou taxis coming from the city, but it is difficult to find one when leaving, so I could only take Didi.

The quality of Didi’s car depends entirely on luck.

When they arrived today, it was difficult for Jia Jia to put her suitcase in the trunk, so she had to move it to the passenger seat, and the two of them sat in the back.

When they arrived at the train station, Liang Jiajia's eyes turned red and she was reluctant to leave. She acted like they were parting forever, which made Xiaoqi laugh and cry.

They arrived a little early, so Xiaoqi accompanied her to buy some snacks and fruits, as well as chicken feet, which Xiaoqi liked very much. The two of them ate a few chicken feet together while waiting for the bus, and Jiajia's mood improved again.

Children are still very moody.

When Xiaoqi sent her to the car and carried her luggage in, and the car started driving away, Jia Jia was very sad, but she still took out her camera to record the scene, so that it had a beginning and an end.

Xiaoqi left the station only after watching the car leave. She had to buy an extra ticket to come in and see someone off. Fortunately, she didn't have a younger sister, otherwise she would be really worried.

After leaving the station, looking at the cars and people coming and going, Xiaoqi inexplicably felt a little uncomfortable. Without the little tail following him, he seemed a little lonely.

She had planned to buy gifts for her roommates. There was 30,000 yuan on the screen, which had to be spent within 20 days and could not be used for investment. Xiaoqi thought it would be best to buy gifts for her roommates.

She was familiar with the shopping malls in Meng City. She went there to buy an Apple laptop and a Sony camera. These two were what Wei Cheng and Mi'er wanted, but the tea set that Yunshu wanted was a bit more troublesome.

Xiaoqi thought that someone around her might understand, namely Li Luanliang, the president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, so she called and asked.

As expected, Li Luanliang knew all this. His grandparents were both fond of tea, and their home was filled with purple clay teapots and other items. When he heard that the little girl wanted to buy tea sets, he introduced her to a store and sent the address to Xiaoqi.

Xiaoqi took a taxi to that address, which was in the antique city.

Fortunately, there are specific shops, otherwise I would have felt dizzy walking around because the antique city is so big.

The tea shop is on the second floor.

Xiaoqi went in and saw that there were quite a lot of things inside.

Looking at the price tag, it’s really that good. If the president hadn’t introduced him here, Xiao Qi would have turned around and left.

A cup costs several thousand.

Originally, Xiaoqi thought that it would be better if the gifts for her three roommates were of similar prices. She thought the tea set might not be too expensive, so she asked the president to recommend a better store.

I didn’t expect that the price was even more expensive than the laptop and camera she bought.

She originally wanted to buy a whole set, but the price tag turned out to be tens of thousands of yuan.

But since he was there, he still had a serious face and told the boss that he was introduced by his friend Li Luanliang.

As expected, the boss's attitude suddenly became enthusiastic when he saw an acquaintance. Unlike just now, he just sat there and stared at Xiao Qi, not like he was selling anything.

The boss asked Xiaoqi about his desired price, and Xiaoqi said it was within ten thousand yuan and he wanted a set of tea sets as a gift.

Finally, the boss recommended a set of tea sets from Chengdexuan, which included a pot, a fairness cup, and six single cups. It looked very exquisite indeed. The price tag was over 12,000 yuan, but the boss readily gave me a 40% discount... and kept saying it was the cost price.

I don’t know whether it is the cost price, but it does look very beautiful. There is a light pink plum blossom on each cup, which is very simple and elegant. With my basic level of painting appreciation, I feel it is very good. I think Yunshu will like it, and the price is also suitable.

Xiaoqi asked the boss to pack up the tea set.

After spending nearly 20,000 yuan in one go, Xiaoqi felt a strange sense of squandering money.

It feels a bit sour and a bit empty.

As for the rest, Xiao Qi thought about it and decided not to buy it for herself. Instead, she bought a set of Guerlain lipsticks for Teacher Zhou, who taught her Japanese. The packaging looked very bright and beautiful, and she thought Teacher Zhou would like it.

I bought a thinner gold necklace for my aunt, and a small genuine leather bag for my mother. It was Coach and cost several thousand yuan. I bought a set of Chinese-style clothes for my father. I saw this clothing store when I was looking for a tea shop in the antique city. It seemed to be very suitable for craftsmen, but it was not cheap. Anyway, the whole set cost several thousand yuan.

Xiaoqi found that money is very time-consuming to spend. After buying these gifts, he actually spent more than 30,000 yuan.

The single 30,000 reward on the interface also disappeared.

By spending money, Xiaoqi felt a little different. Different places have different consumption concepts. In Lushan City, 30,000 yuan may be more sustainable. If it is in Gumula Village, 30,000 yuan can basically not be spent, unless it is for large-scale construction, major events, weddings or funerals.

But in the alliance city, it seems like money is spent casually.

But it also depends on the location. There are also very poor areas in the league and city.

While spending money happily, Xiao Qi is also reminding himself that he cannot indulge in this situation. He should work hard to improve himself. After all, money is an external thing. If it comes easily, it will go away quickly.

She sent the gifts she wanted to send out in the city and brought the rest back to the dormitory.

It was already dark when Xiaoqi returned to school. He took a shower and went to evening self-study as usual, continuing his normal second to last day of vacation.
