Chapter 521 Which Gift is Better?
Likewise, with last year's experience in mind, Deng Sisi made a rare phone call to me before I returned home.
"Sister Mengmeng, what gift are you getting your aunt this year? I don't have any special intentions, I'm just afraid that I'll buy the same thing as you."
"Oh, I haven't thought about it yet. Why don't you tell me what you plan to give me, and I'll just stay away from it." I answered indifferently.
Deng Sisi was stunned for a moment, then said softly, "But your boyfriend is so rich, the gift he gives me should be very expensive.
Unlike me, I rely on saving some pocket money to buy gifts for my aunt, so I definitely won’t buy her anything too expensive like you.
Oh, I wish I had a boyfriend as rich as him, then I could give my aunt her favorite jade and other things."
I don't know who this girl learned this from, but she always talks in a roundabout way. Her way of speaking is very suitable for her to die, and then travel back to eight hundred years ago to participate in a palace fight or a house fight. She may even win an award like a master of house fight.
I was stupid before and couldn't understand her gossip.
It’s different now. As soon as I heard her say it, I knew she wanted me to buy jewelry like jade and jadeite. I don’t know if it was my mother’s idea or she just likes it, but as long as I buy it, she will always find a way to get my mother to give it to her.
After last year’s lesson, I certainly couldn’t do what she wanted. The criteria for choosing gifts this year were obviously different.
It should be decent, generous, and look thoughtful, to show that I value my mother.
I went to the Arts and Crafts Building with Xiaoyan on purpose. There were a lot of things there that were expensive and impractical but looked very decent, and were especially suitable as gifts for my mother.
Xiao Yan entered the first floor of the mall and frowned at the prices on the counter. "Meng Meng, why are you buying things here? The things here don't look like something you would like at your age."
I smiled slightly and said, "It's a gift for my mother."
The first floor of the building was filled with gold and silver jewelry and famous watches. Xiaoyan thought I would buy jewelry, but was surprised to find that I went straight to the second floor without even taking a look.
There are many handicrafts on this floor, such as paper-cuts, clay figurines, shadow puppets, kites, and many Chinese knots of different sizes.
There is a very eye-catching knot among them. It is as tall as me, with a "Shou" character in the middle. A lot of gold threads were mixed in it when it was woven. It looks rich and festive. The price is also quite good, 3,880 yuan.
After another walk around, I saw a Shoushan stone ornament. It was carved with the image of a smiling bald old man of longevity. The red and white gradient color looked quite nice. The price was a bit expensive at 4,680 yuan.
I asked Xiaoyan, "Sister Xiaoyan, which one do you think is better, this old birthday star or the Chinese knot with the word for longevity?"
Xiaoyan looked at me with a puzzled expression: "Can I only choose between these two?"
"Yes, choose between these two."
Xiao Yan wrinkled her nose and said reluctantly, "Then it's still the old man of longevity. At least it's made of Shoushan stone, so it's worth more."
I nodded thoughtfully, "Yeah, that makes sense. It's decided. I'll go buy that Chinese knot."
Xiao Yan was so angry that she laughed, "You are actually asking for opinions in reverse? You can give me whatever is not good, but you want to give me the one that won't make your mother happy?
Are you sure you are your mother's biological child?"
"It doesn't matter whether my mother likes it or not, as long as Deng Sisi doesn't like it. Of course, if she really likes this thing, I won't feel bad." I narrowed my eyes cunningly.
