Chapter 642 Good Things Are Different
"Wait a moment."
When Shen Yingying heard that Aci wanted to dispose of all the clothes, she hurried over and started searching.
Finally, he took out a khaki jacket from inside.
When I picked it up and shook it, I found that there were some pilling at the neckline, but from my aunt's expression, I could tell that she cherished this dress very much.
"I have to keep this one. Sui Sui bought it for me last Chinese New Year. She used her part-time job salary to buy it. It wasn't cheap."
Shen Ci nodded in understanding, but the "not cheap" mentioned by her aunt certainly couldn't be defined by her consumption concept. In her previous life, this kind of coat would probably cost only a few hundred yuan at most.
But my aunt is used to being frugal in her clothes, and she rarely wears clothes made of expensive materials like down, wool, and fur in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, so clothes that cost a few hundred yuan are considered a luxury for her.
It was a gift from her daughter, so she naturally wouldn’t disagree if she wanted to keep it.
The aunt put it to her nose and sniffed it. After finding no smell, she put it on directly and said, "It's really cold in Longcheng. I think it's going to snow soon. I can only wear this coat for a few days this year."
"Isn't it beautiful, Ah Ci?"
Shen Ci pursed her lips and smiled, then nodded and said, “It looks good.”
The three of them went down to the basement and got into the Land Rover that Chen Ci bought for her uncle-in-law. Shen Yingying sat in the back seat with Chen Ci. As soon as she got in the car, she couldn't help laughing and said, "They say a good horse deserves a good saddle, but your uncle-in-law has never driven a good car before. He hasn't been used to it for several days. He used to drive the family car recklessly on the road, but now he's driving a nice car, so he's so careful, for fear of bumping into it."
Chen Ci also smiled when he heard this: "At the beginning, of course, it's better to be careful. The most important thing when driving is safety."
He Bin was a little moved. As a grown man, he was not good at speaking and could not express those emotional words to Aci, but he was definitely happy and grateful in his heart.
"Ah Ci, you've really screwed me over this time. Actually, if I wanted to replace it, a ten or twenty dollar one would have been enough, but you directly gave me one that cost over two hundred dollars. I still feel like I'm dreaming."
"Uncle-in-law, this is what you deserve, and you should accept it with peace of mind." Chen Ci said, "Aunt and my mother are sisters, and it's understandable that we support each other, but you are different, uncle-in-law. Not only have you never complained, you have taken care of me and Ali Xingxing meticulously, sometimes even better than Sui Sui and Guang Rong. I remember all of this in my heart."
"I still remember one day when I was little, I had a high fever. Shenzhen and Hong Kong were hit by a typhoon and heavy rain. If anyone went out that day, they would be blown away by the wind. You asked my mother and my aunt to stay at home, and you took me to the hospital alone."
He Bin smiled nostalgically after hearing this: "That was so many years ago. You were only five or six years old, just beginning to remember things."
“But I remember it very clearly.”
Shen Yingying patted Ah Ci's hand and said with a gratified look, "I'm really glad that you remember your uncle-in-law so well."
For so many years, He Bin was the only adult male labor force in the family. All the hard and tiring work was done by He Bin, but he never complained. Sometimes he even considered the family more carefully than she, his younger sister.
"Of course I have to remember it. I will never forget it."
Xiangcheng District, the crystal city of stars.
This is a large crystal city that has just opened. According to the modern and warm decoration style of my aunt's house, Chen Ci thinks it would be nice to buy some high-grade crystal ornaments.
"Are you selling crystals?"
Seeing the huge logo, Shen Yingying was startled: "If I put it at home, it will get bumped and dented."
"As long as you and your uncle don't clean the house every day, the things there won't get bumped easily." Chen Ci took her aunt's arm and said, "Let's go in and have a look first. If you don't like anything, we can go somewhere else. It was a big event when it opened here. I've always wanted to come."
Shen Yingying had no choice but to nod when she heard this, but she still had no idea about the price of the crystal. She just hoped it wouldn't be too expensive.
As soon as they stepped through the main gate, Shen Yingying and He Bin were stunned by the appearance of Crystal City. The most conspicuous position at the entrance was filled with the most internationally famous luxury crystal brands. The entire Crystal City was decorated very brightly and transparently. The midday sunlight shone through the glass everywhere, reflecting colorful light on the crystal.
"It's really grand. I didn't expect it to be so big inside," He Bin exclaimed.
"Aunt, you and your uncle-in-law can take a look first. I'm going to the bathroom." Chen Ci pointed to the bathroom sign: "There are several floors here. Let's take a look and pick the one we like."
Since they were already here, Shen Yingying didn't want to spoil the fun, so she nodded gently: "Then we'll take a look at it here at the door and wait for you."
The shops at the entrance are all top-tier crystal brands. Because of their good locations, they are usually reserved for big brands.
On the left and right sides are the Hermès of the crystal world, the luxury king "Baccarat" and "Lalique" which is second only to "Baccarat".
Shen Yingying and He Bin had no idea how to recognize these brands, so they just walked closer to the right and went straight into "Lalique".
There was only one group of customers in the store, and the manager was serving them personally.
"Hubby, look at this vase!"
Women have always had no resistance to beautiful and nice things. There is no need to say much about the craftsmanship of big brands. Those colorful crystal products are enough to capture women's hearts just by being placed there.
But the man was different. When He Bin walked over, he first looked at the price tag and then glared: "Sixteen dollars!"
"Good things are different!" Shen Yingying exclaimed, "I used to think there was no difference between crystal and glass."
"How can it be the same?" He Bin laughed and said, "How much glass can you buy with sixteen dollars?"
"This one looks good too." Shen Yingying saw another piece of crystal simulated coral, made entirely of red gradient crystal. "She subconsciously touched it gently with her hand. The crystal felt cool and smooth, completely different from glass."
The manager, who was serving customers not far away, only noticed Shen Yingying and He Bin at this moment and politely informed them, "Hello, ma'am, please do not touch the crystals with your bare hands, as your skin will secrete oil, which will affect the transparency of the crystal surface. You can wear the special gloves we have in our store to feel the texture and temperature of the crystal."
"Oh, sorry." Shen Yingying apologized quickly after hearing this.
The manager didn't say anything else. He just turned his head and looked at the counter inside and said, "Abby, come out and greet the guests."
The saleswoman named Abby looked up when she heard the voice, and rolled her eyes impatiently as she raised her head, because she had already noticed the two "customers" who were dressed in ordinary and even low-end clothes.
Calling them "customers" is too flattering. Look at their unsophisticated appearance, they will never make any purchase. Can't they see the price tags under the products?
