The day after Xiang Lihua returned was a weekday, and everyone went to work.
The sun is shining outside.
When Xiang Mianmian walked out of the room yawning, Xiang Lihua had already returned from exercise. He quickly took a shower and changed his clothes.
"Little sister, the rice is hot in the pot, I'll serve it to you~"
Xiang Lihua was drying his hair. When he saw his youngest sister coming out of the room, he immediately put down the towel in his hand and rushed into the kitchen to serve her food.
Xiang Mianmian felt a chill and sat down at the table, rubbing his arms. "Oh my God, please speak properly. Are you disgusting? Did your throat get caught in the door?"
Xiang Lihua was not at all discouraged by his sister's words. He lowered his head and served her sweet potato porridge and side dishes, then sat next to Xiang Mianmian with a smile.
He said with a look of grievance: "Why are you saying this to me, little sister? I haven't seen you for a long time, can't I give you some brotherly warmth?"
The expression is sincere, but it's a pity that even though they know each other well, they still don't know each other's character?
Xiang Mianmian picked up her chopsticks and ate some side dishes, supporting his forehead with her left hand as he leaned forward: "If you have something to say, just say it. Stop talking nonsense here."
When the brother and sister were young, they fought over porridge and snacks. What is the warmth of an older brother? Is there such a thing?
Xiang Lihua controlled his body's reaction and ignored his sister's finger on his forehead. His face was calm and his voice was low: "Do you still have that telescope?"
This thing is really useful. Many people in the army are envious of it. He always comes back with a mission.
Xiang Mianmian withdrew his hand and concentrated on holding the bowl and drinking porridge: "Yes, how many do you want?"
"A platoon is never too few, and a company is never too many."
He sneered at Xiang Mianmian. This guy was just daydreaming. "You're dreaming of peaches... You're dreaming of shit. Where can I get more than a hundred of them for you?"
What a joke! If she took out more than a hundred telescopes on the spot, I'm afraid this guy would be the first to sacrifice his own family for the sake of justice and send her to the place where she would investigate enemy spies.
What if she was an arms dealer? And she had a company and a platoon, what a fantasy.
Xiang Lihua coughed twice, his eyes wandering, his tone sincere: "There must be one class, I just want twelve, not more."
He asked for a high price but ended up paying it back. He wanted at least a class of telescopes.
Xiang Mianmian rolled her eyes at him and quickly finished her meal: "That's more than enough. Give me a few days and I'll go ask those people."
She has a system mall, which is actually quite convenient for buying things, but she can’t pay for it all at once.
Naturally, it would take a few days and pretend that it was obtained from the black market with great difficulty.
The system mall does not have everything. It only displays things that are available in the current society. It will not display some postmodern things, and most weapons are also prohibited from sale.
Moreover, Xiang Mianmian is not an adult yet, so it is difficult to explain where these things come from. The black market can be an excuse, but it is difficult to cover up too much.
Therefore, she generally tries to use the system mall as little as possible and will only use it when the time is right.
Xiang Lihua was very happy after hearing this: "Little sister, please help me check if there are any weapons, such as triangular knives, mines, or bullets..."
She rolled her eyes at Mianmian and gestured to him to stop, completely speechless.
"Stop, stop, stop. Stop dreaming in broad daylight. Your sister is just an ordinary little girl. She's not a bodhisattva who grants all wishes. It's good enough that she has a telescope. Can you please stop treating me like a treasure pot?"
Xiang Lihua patted his head and said, "Hey, if you see anything intimidating, bring it back with you. I'll pay for it, okay?"
Xiang Mianmian's tone was full of surprise: "Of course you pay, you still want to get it for free?"
"Um, I'm going to go out and buy you a gift. Remember to help me look after it!"
After eating, Xiang Mianmian changed into cloth shoes and walked out of the house, ignoring her fourth brother who was shouting behind her.
She was really impressed. This brother didn't seem very reliable.
Xiang Lihua was left at home to react: "Damn, I still have to wash the dishes for her."
He could only clean up helplessly.
When Xiang Lihua came back to visit his family, he not only visited his family and looked for a telescope, he also helped his teammates to inquire about their family's situation. After packing up, he set off.
During these eight days, Xiang Lihua visited the homes of several comrades in the nearby county. Although they communicated through letters, he always felt at ease when he saw them in person.
Xiang Mianmian went out early and came back late. She bought a train ticket for Xiang Lihua on the last day and secretly handed the things to him in the evening.
"Here's the ticket for the six o'clock train tomorrow morning." Xiang Mianmian handed him the train ticket she had bought.
The tickets can be viewed at any time, but Xiang Lihua didn't care about that. He was already impatient to untie the bag that Xiang Mianmian brought and see the black telescope inside.
"Why only seven?! That's too few."
Xiang Mianmian pouted and pretended to take it back: "You can take it or not, I've annoyed them to death, and I only received seven, so stop talking nonsense."
Xiang Lihua quickly stopped her hand, fearing that the telescope would fly away: "Forget it, as long as it's useful, by the way, what is this?"
He picked up a small spray bottle that was the length of his palm and only as thick as his finger.
Xiang Mianmian opened the lid on one end and took his hand to show him where to press: "Chili water, press this and it will spray out a meter away. It's guaranteed to be so spicy that you can't open your eyes."
Xiang Lihua fiddled with the gadget for a bit, but quickly lost interest. "This is for close combat? It doesn't seem to be very useful."
He was used to long-range shooting. Although he also practiced close combat, he always felt that there was no long-range safety.
Xiang Mianmian ignored his complaints and picked up another object: "This is a multipurpose tool knife. They say it's made in Switzerland. It has more than a dozen functions. You can study it yourself."
She spread her hands and ticked twice: "300 yuan in total, pay quickly!"
This time, she rarely used the middleman to make a profit from the price difference, so she bought the price from the mall. She also bought some things that she thought were useful, although she didn't know if they would work.
Xiang Lihua didn't dare to look his sister in the eye. He touched his head and said awkwardly, "Um, well, actually, I..."
"You don't want to default on your debt, do you?!"
Xiang Lihua laughed foolishly: "How can I refuse to pay my debt, my dear little sister? I will just keep owing it to you."
Xiang Mianmian didn't care and went up to them and took out his pocket: "I owe them shit! I have to pay them, okay?"
The last time I gave Xiang Lihua a telescope, it was out of brotherly love, as a farewell gift. This time it was obviously buying one for a class for his teammates to use, so he had to charge for it!
Although Xiang Lihua is very capable, he is afraid of hurting his youngest sister, so he can only hide everywhere. Unfortunately, Xiang Mianmian is determined to get his capital back.
The two struggled for a while, and Xiang Mianmian only got more than fifty yuan from him.
Facing his furious sister, Xiang Lihua could only raise his hands in surrender: "I really don't have that much money. When I get back to the team, I promise to get enough for you, okay?"
He thought that Yaomei was lucky enough to find a telescope, but who knew she would buy so many...
But it was different when I returned to the army. A dozen comrades got together and it was easy to take down a mere telescope.
