Chapter 17 Before School Starts - Back to 18, I Became Rich by Spending Money
On August 20th, Wen's parents finally remembered to start buying school supplies for their daughter. The first thing Wen Mingxiu thought of was a computer.
For so long, he never went to buy lottery tickets because of what his daughter said to him. Instead, he was taken by his daughter to play chess with Uncle Wang from the store at the entrance of the community. Originally, he was just trying to please his daughter, but who knew that as they played, he became more and more addicted to the game and thought about it whenever he had nothing to do.
The next day, Wen Mingxiu took Wen Yan to the mall with the funds his mother had approved for him, intending to buy her a laptop and a new phone. Don't think he didn't understand that girls these days were always trying to compete with each other, and he wouldn't let his sweetheart be ridiculed for such things. Furthermore, his daughter was so successful that she didn't even need tuition, but Yu Qiu and Wen Mingxiu still made up for it with hardware.
After parking the car in the parking lot, Wen Yan held her father's hand without saying a word. Maybe she had enough money to buy something better, but this was the love her parents had for her, which was different.
Wen Mingxiu took his daughter to the store where Lao Li had bought his daughter's computer. The price was quite high, if nothing else. But Lao Li said the computer never crashed and had excellent graphics.
After entering the store, a waiter came forward to serve them. He walked up to Wen Mingxiu and his daughter and took a quick look. Seeing Wen Yan holding Wen Mingxiu's arm and that the girl looked particularly pretty, he thought she was another fallen girl, a mistress kept by an old man. So he looked down on Wen Yan. This kind of woman was the most common one seen in their store. Rich and powerful old men kept mistresses outside without the knowledge of their wives, and they specifically targeted young and beautiful female college students. But he was a salesperson and would not say it out loud.
"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?" he asked politely.
"Hello, it's like this. My daughter got into S University, so I want to buy her a laptop to take to school." The waiter knew he had misunderstood. It turned out that this beautiful girl was his daughter. He apologized to the two of them in his heart, and then he was even more happy to introduce him to Wen Mingxiu's words, "Hello sir, please come this way. These are all the laptops we have in our store. They are especially suitable for your daughter to use when she goes to college."
Wen Yan looked at the young man's expression and the expression he had just inadvertently revealed, and knew that he had misunderstood. She was speechless, but she didn't say anything. The brain is in other people's heads, what do you think of others, what can you do about it?
"May I ask what your daughter's major is? Different majors have different requirements for computer performance."
English major
"Take a look at this one. These three are the latest models of 2018. If your daughter's major does not require very high hardware configuration, then the first book or the second air can meet your needs." After saying that, he looked at Wen Mingxiu and asked for his opinion.
Wen Mingxiu didn't answer. He looked at Wen Yan and asked, "Yanyan, which one do you like? Let's buy the one you like."
Wen Yan looked at the computers in front of her and thought they were all good. This brand had been incredibly popular in recent years, and they would replace it every year. It didn't matter which one she bought. She could just change it when it got old. She pointed to the first one and said, "This one's the one I'll take. I think it's pretty good." The first one was slightly cheaper.
"Okay, then the first one." Wen Mingxiu had never been here before, and the shopping guide didn't mention the price, so how could he know that his daughter bought the first one to save money.
"By the way, take us to see the mobile phones." Upon hearing this, the waiter became even happier and brought another mobile phone.
Wen Yan didn't let him use the latest model of mobile phone to fool her father. The newer the computer, the better the configuration. There hasn't been much difference in their mobile phones in the past two years.
"Just give me the 7 plus. No need to look at the black one." Wen Yan said directly.
When the waiter heard what Wen Yan said directly, he stopped recommending it. He asked the two to wait for a moment while he went to pick up the goods and issue the invoice for them.
In the end, the total amount spent was 17,800 yuan. Wen Mingxiu swiped the card very quickly and efficiently. He just liked spending money on his daughter.
After returning home, Wen Yan installed her SIM card on the new phone and downloaded as many apps as possible from the old one. After all, the systems were different, and Apple's App Store had too many restrictions. Many apps were not available.
When Yu Qiu returned home in the evening, she looked at what the father and daughter had bought that day, then touched Wen Yan's head and said gently, "Yan Yan, remember to study hard. There are many temptations in college, but Mom knows that her daughter is a perseverant and smart child. Mom hopes that you can always stick to your ideals and never give up."
Wen Yan rubbed her mother's hand, hugged her and acted coquettishly, "Mom, I know, I will work hard so that you can live an easy life. In the future, you and my dad can travel around the world and go wherever you want."
Wen Yan told herself that everything could be achieved. This time was different!
Yu Qiu did not undermine her child's confidence. In her heart, her own child must be the best.
"Okay, Mom will wait."
======
Wen Yan planned to go to school a day in advance, which was fine for her, because she wouldn't have to panic if she needed anything.
The night before, Yu Qiu had stuffed everything into Wen Yan's suitcase, wanting her to take everything with her. Of course, she had seen the bag in Wen Yan's closet. Wen Yan was afraid that she would recognize her, and was terrified and trying to explain. But Yu Qiu just saw it and said, "This bag is quite nice. When did you buy it? Why haven't I seen you carry it before?"
Wen Yan laughed and said that she had just bought it two days ago and planned to carry it on her way to school. Then she quickly stuffed it into her bed and covered it with the quilt, fearing that Yu Qiu would ask again.
Yu Qiu did not ask any more questions. At her age, she had suffered more hardships than blessings, so she didn't know whether it was a famous brand or not. She just thought the bag was pretty and the texture seemed good, and she was curious why she had never seen her daughter carry it.
"I've taken a day off tomorrow and will take you to school with your dad. To be honest, I haven't seen what the top schools look like. My dear daughter, this time I can take your mom to see the world." Yu Qiu said to his daughter with a smile.
Wen Yan said to Yu Qiu in a playful manner: "This is just the beginning. Your daughter will take you to Antarctica to see penguins in the future. That's what we call the world, hehehe."
Yu Qiu patted Wen Yan in amusement. He was just like his father every day, so frivolous. Then he smiled without saying a word.
Two large suitcases were stuffed full. Wen Yan's two beautiful new suitcases were so stuffed that they were almost unable to cover themselves. Even Wen Yan's quilt and mattress were not packed. Wen Yan planned to buy these when she arrived. Isn't that the purpose of going there in advance? Yu Qiu also packed two large cans of beef sauce for Wen Yan, fearing that Wen Yan would not have a good meal. While packing, she said to her daughter worriedly, "Eat well. I packed your favorite beef sauce for you. When you are done, call your mother and she will send it to you." This was the first time for his daughter to be so far away from home and live alone. Yu Qiu felt uneasy and wanted to pack himself in.
Wen Yan quickly stopped Yu Qiu's behavior and didn't dare to pretend anymore. "Mom, that's enough. Don't worry, Mom. I will take good care of myself. It's not like I won't come back."
Mothers are always worried about their children, fearing that they are suffering from the cold outside.
