"Mom, why don't I have a gift?"
"How could you not have it? Daughter, I bought that for you girls in the dormitory to knit together. Oh, and when I was traveling, I saw someone's hairpins made with furry hair. They were very cute. If you don't believe me, you can try it. Okay, okay, I won't tell you anymore, daughter. I have something else to do, so I won't say anything for now. But you have to remember that I love you."
"Mom, I know you're traveling on a budget and don't have much money, but aren't you being too stingy? Can I not give it to you? I want to ask, I really don't know how to use it. I'm obviously short of money, but I'm asking you for this and that. I feel embarrassed, but can you take my hairpin with you and sell it to foreigners? Let them see how far the hairpin industry in the Ming Dynasty has developed. It will definitely amaze them."
"I know, I know. Then put some on me. We'll talk about whether to sell it or not later. But if someone puts a lightning rod on their head, that's fine. But does yours actually conduct electricity?"
"Mom, this is of course the best. If you don't believe me, you can put it on the balcony now. It works very well and can even bounce lightning back successfully."
After Ji Nianqin finished speaking, she placed a few hairpins on the windowsill. Unexpectedly, she was "struck to death" by lightning outside so soon.
"Fortunately, it's a hairpin. If it were a human, it would be unimaginable. So, daughter, for the sake of your own safety, please stop researching this kind of thing. And if you're going to buy one, you can't use one of these super cheap ones. At least you have to get something similar."
"Of course I know, Mother, but I have no money."
"Don't tell me you don't have money. Modern life is much better than that of ancient people. So, there are still many places I haven't seen. So, I'm leaving now. You guys go ahead and have fun."
"Auntie, why is this hair ball entangled in my hand? And I can't use it at all, tsk tsk."
"Don't say that. This is a gift my mom brought back for us. How could it be bad?"
Unexpectedly, no matter how Ji Nianqin used the knitting machine in front of her, she felt a vague pain in her fingers.
"Oh my god, if I don't pull my hand back, my fingers are going to get mixed up in there."
When Ji Nianqin chased outside, she looked at her mother's running speed, which was simply adorable. She was taking small steps. It seemed that her body had fully recovered, especially her eyes, which could see everything. She was having a great time.
"Hahaha. My mom is so funny. She must have known that what she bought was cheap, so she ran away so quickly."
"Ji Nianqin, cheap stuff isn't always bad. If you don't believe me, just try buying some for you online. I don't have any cash, but the card I use for online shopping contains the money my stepmother and father deposit into my account every month."
"That's great. Your parents are pretty good to you."
"Normally, he doesn't give me money, or he gives me money piece by piece, but now that the midterm and final exams are coming up, he gave me money so that I could buy exercise books. Hehe..."
