Chen Hong originally wanted to browse around and see what new clothing styles were available, as the three of them should also buy some spring and summer clothes.
Seeing so many people and such chaos, Chen Hong was so frightened that she immediately retreated.
She should just leave; she's not going to join in the fun!
Given her current wealth, not only can she hire drivers and bodyguards for her outings, but if she wants to buy clothes, she only needs to make one phone call and the clothing brand will deliver them to her door and provide personalized service.
However, she still couldn't shake her petty-mindedness; whenever she saw a discount event, she would still try to join in the fun and save as much as she could.
This time, Chen Hong specifically looked for floors with fewer people and first went to look at bedding, buying two sets of combed pure cotton four-piece bedding sets.
The pattern of this bedding is very beautiful; it's the Moon Shadow Blue color that Chen Hong loved most in her previous life.
Pure cotton, absorbent and skin-friendly, delicate and soft. It's the top choice for all her bedding.
Pushing her shopping cart, Chen Hong went to the household goods floor and bought some shower gel, shampoo, and hair care products. The other floors were too crowded, and Chen Hong lost interest in shopping.
I took the elevator directly to the electronics floor and carefully selected a laptop from a world-renowned brand.
Today, all laptops are 12% off, and the store is also giving away free headphones, mice, external hard drives, and wireless network cards.
Speaking of wireless network cards, Chen Hong recalled an amusing incident from her past life. Back then, one of her elementary school classmates became an insurance agent.
Insurance companies partnered with computer dealers to promote the use of computers to demonstrate insurance proposals and product advertisements, persuading their sales staff to each own a laptop.
Chen Hong's classmate only had an elementary school education and didn't know anything about computers. At first, she printed proposals at the company and bravely went door-to-door to sell them with just a few sheets of paper.
Seeing his colleagues using laptops to steal his clients, he decided to put on a brave face and spent over four thousand yuan to buy a laptop as well.
I thought the wireless network card was an (wireless network card)! It cost me 260 yuan when I bought it, but the data ran out after only ten days.
He was furious! He asked other colleagues, and they said, "This thing is just for show. With data so expensive, who would actually use it?"
If it was absolutely necessary, the customer would only be shown the document for a few minutes before it was immediately closed. After all, insurance policies were always paper-based; electronic signatures weren't available back then.
That student used up all the data on the network card, but couldn't bear to throw it away, nor could he bear to recharge it.
At that time, he was renting a place in Jinan, but there was no broadband installed, so his computer was unusable and just sat idle.
When his son grew up and went to college, he took out the computer with great care, only to find that it was completely unusable.
It has low specs and little memory; it's not even as good as a second-hand phone that my kid bought for a few hundred dollars!
He kept that computer and couldn't bear to throw it away. In his words, it was a testament to how he had been left behind by modern electronic technology!
Pushing her shopping cart, Chen Hong wandered over to the home appliance section and saw that the showroom was full of new ultra-thin large-screen TVs with clear pictures and vibrant colors.
She suddenly remembered that her parents still had an old-fashioned 29-inch CRT TV at home!
Chen Hong chose a well-known domestic brand and bought a 43-inch TV for 5,999 yuan during a promotion.
This brand is inexpensive, high-quality, and very durable. In her previous life, Chen Hong's family always used this brand; its quality was guaranteed.
After buying the TV, I remembered that my mother's village had running water. My dad came to help her take care of her child a few days ago, and my mom was exhausted taking care of her two granddaughters by herself at home.
I also ordered a fully automatic washing machine, and I'm really tempted by the three-door, large-capacity refrigerator.
The refrigerator at her parents' house was too small; it couldn't hold most of the seafood she brought back for the Spring Festival. So Chen Hong bought a larger refrigerator.
I asked the salesperson, and they said that because there were too many orders, the delivery wouldn't be possible until tomorrow.
After paying for the goods and leaving her address, Chen Hong prepared to go home.
When I got to the first floor of the mall, I saw that there were many customers in the gold shop. After thinking about it, I realized that the price of gold was less than 200 yuan per gram, so I spent more than 3,000 yuan to buy my mother a pair of minimalist gold earrings.
Last time, my dad told me that my mom's earrings broke and she couldn't wear them anymore, so he wanted her to help him exchange them for a new pair with a simple design.
The old lady was afraid of spending money. She heard that replacing it with a new one would incur a depreciation fee, and she didn't want to pay extra, but she also wanted to replace it with one that weighed less.
Chen Hong thought to herself, "It wasn't heavy when I bought it. If I replace it again without spending money, it'll almost become an earring."
Those earrings were bought for her by her younger sister, Xiaoyun, before her wedding! The old lady wore them every day, and never took them off even when she slept.
It's the only thing she can show off when she goes back to her parents' home!
In her past life, her children were disappointing and didn't live very well, so there was nothing for her to boast about.
Chen Hong never bought her any jewelry; at that time, she couldn't even make ends meet.
To be honest, let alone gold jewelry, even when buying clothes for the old lady, Chen Hong would buy them on Pinduoduo for 30 to 50 yuan a piece.
Even so, I only bought her and my dad two sets of clothes a year, spending a maximum of two hundred yuan. Thinking about it now, I really feel ashamed.
With that in mind, she chose a solid gold bracelet, pure gold, weighing 76 grams. Together with the earrings, the total cost was less than 20,000 yuan.
After shopping for half a day and spending 20,000 yuan on her mother, Chen Hong still hadn't bought anything for her father. She felt unbalanced.
What should I buy for Dad? After thinking for a while, I went back to the electronics floor and bought him a mobile phone that cost a little over three thousand yuan.
It wasn't that Chen Hong was unwilling to buy a better one; she knew that soon, smartphones would emerge, and those would be the best and most high-end phones.
Chen Hong used this phone to make her father happy. Sometimes, the elderly are like children; they get jealous and need their children to coax them.
After shopping and leaving the mall, Chen Hong called her father in her car and told him not to go out the next morning, as appliance delivery would be coming to their door.
"What appliances did you buy for the house? You're wasting money again. We already have a TV, refrigerator, and washing machine. We don't need anything!"
"Can I get a refund? If you can, get a refund quickly, don't let them send it home."
Now that her father doesn't work, he's learned to nag, but Chen Hong doesn't find it annoying at all.
"You've already bought it, won't you get a refund if you return it? Don't worry about it, the mall is having an opening promotion, it's really cheap."
I finally managed to snag these, how can I return them? Dad, I bought a large LCD TV, a three-door refrigerator, and a fully automatic washing machine for Mom.
The delivery guy is coming tomorrow; ask him how to use it. Help my mom learn how to use the washing machine; it'll make her life easier.
If you have nothing to do tonight, tidy up the space where you put your appliances, so that delivery people won't have anywhere to put them.
As for the older ones, I'll have my brother ask his in-laws if they want them.
If you want them, give them to them; if not, sell them to a used appliance recycler.
By the way, we're going back home for dinner Friday night. If you want anything brought back, just call me in advance.
The father across from me sighed: "I know you feel sorry for me and your mother. Okay, I understand."
We have everything we need at home. We can just pick some vegetables when we go back. Don't bother buying meat or seafood; we still have plenty left in the fridge from last time.
If you don't eat it, it won't stay fresh for long, and storing it in the refrigerator wastes electricity.
