Jiang He couldn't help but say, "You wasteful thing! You're so proud of yourself just because you have a little money. Why are you buying that expensive stuff? Your mother and I are already half buried in the earth. It's already yellow enough. Why do we need gold?"
Jiang He took two deep breaths to calm himself. "Everything else is fine. You can keep the gold bracelet and gold watch. You don't have to give them to us. You and Xiaobei can carry them. If you really don't want to carry them, keep them for Huanhuanlele. You can use them as dowry and betrothal gifts when the time comes."
"I've bought some for you and mom. Xiaobei and I must have some too. I'm giving them to you, so feel free to take them. I've heard from others that if an old man carries some gold, it can delay aging and enhance immunity. Wearing some gold is like eating one or two ounces of meat every day.
"If you and my mom wear it for a few years, won't the capital be recovered? The rest will be earned. Otherwise, why do you think rich people in the past liked to wear gold and jade? Dad, I'm doing this for your health. This little money is nothing compared to your health. Buying a piece of gold is no better than giving money to the hospital. If you don't take care of your health, how can you come with me to see the beautiful mountains and rivers of our motherland in the future?" Jiang Shushu fooled Jiang He.
Jiang He: "..." Are there so many benefits to carrying gold? I think there are. In the past, it seemed that everyone, including rich people and landlords, carried some gold. It must be a way for the rich to maintain their health.
My wife and I are both over 60 years old, so wearing gold can help us stay healthy. As long as we're healthy, we can save our children money, time, and effort. When my wife and I die, we can return the gold to Shushu and let her sell it for cash.
After thinking it through, Jiang He stopped worrying. "You have a point. My daughter is really thoughtful. Your mom and I will accept it. Don't worry about your mom. Dad will take care of it. Just buy it this time. Don't buy it next time. One piece of gold for health preservation is enough."
"Okay, I'll listen to my dad. From now on, I won't buy gold for you unless you agree." If you don't want to buy gold, you can buy something else. It's no big deal.
Jiang He nodded with satisfaction.
"Dad, come on, let's go to my room. I'll get you a gold bracelet and a watch."
Jiang Shushu took out two boxes from his backpack and handed them to Jiang He. "Dad, open them and see what I think of your taste."
"good."
Jiang He opened a box. A golden circle, particularly round and smooth, simple yet bold, "Such a thick bracelet."
"Luckily, I chose a size that's neither too big nor too small, just 32g."
"No wonder it's so thick. Your mother has been married to me for so many years, and I have never bought her any gold. Now she is enjoying your blessing. This bracelet is beautiful. Your mother will definitely look good wearing it."
Jiang He opened the box containing his watch and fell in love with it immediately. The strap was silver-white on both sides and golden yellow in the middle, which looked very high-end and elegant. "My dad likes this watch. It looks so beautiful. It must be very expensive, right?"
"It's not expensive. This time I'm in the watch business. I bought yours at the factory price, which is only 280 yuan. The yellow part in the middle is gold, a full 15 grams."
"Shushu, tell Dad honestly, how much did you earn this time? Don't worry, Dad will never tell anyone." Jiang He originally didn't intend to ask, but Jiang Shushu spent money so lavishly that Jiang He really couldn't help it.
"Six figures." Jiang Shushu trusted Jiang He. Jiang He had never revealed anything about the gold bars they dug together a few years ago.
"Six digits?" Jiang He didn't react for a moment. When he came to his senses, he immediately counted on his fingers, "Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands... tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands! Cough cough..." Jiang He choked on his own saliva.
"Dad, don't be so excited." If you think it's one hundred thousand, then it's one hundred thousand. If you ask for a higher number, I'm afraid you'll be scared to death.
"Ten, ten, a hundred thousand! Oh my god, is it so easy to make money nowadays? 100,000 in three months. In one month, you earn what others earn in a lifetime."
"It's quite profitable. You can get the goods from the factory and then sell them in the mainland. You don't have to worry about selling them. The profit can basically double. The situation outside now is that even if you sell roasted sweet potatoes, you can earn more than your salary." It depends on whether you are willing to do it. After all, doing business is basically looked down upon by others.
"Oh my God, this is too exaggerated. If this is the case, who would be willing to go to work?" There are so many sweet potatoes in our village. If we roast them all and sell them, every household will make a lot of money.
"That depends on personal pursuits. Although trading can make money, because of the strict crackdown on speculation in the past, many people look down on and fear trading, so relatively few people are doing it now. That's why trading is so easy to do. In two or three years, it will be difficult. I spend much less than I earn, so you and Mom don't have to worry about it. Spend what you need to spend, don't save. I'm not short of money, your daughter."
"Haha... ok? Dad knows." After Jiang He knew that Jiang Shushu had earned 100,000 yuan, he looked at the things Jiang Shushu bought and suddenly felt that it was reasonable, and he didn't feel sad anymore.
Jiang He, who was about to leave, turned back and whispered, "Don't let your mother know that you earned 100,000 yuan. Your mother is soft-hearted. If she asks you how much you earned, just say that you have a few thousand left after buying things." I don't want to cause any more family conflicts. The current situation is good enough. We are siblings, so it is better to settle the accounts clearly. After all, we have started our own families and careers.
"Okay, I'll listen to Dad."
The family waited until 6 o'clock in the evening, but did not see Yang Xiaobei, so they knew that he was working overtime. Then the family ate first, leaving some food for Yang Xiaobei alone.
After Jiang Shushu had eaten, he took Huanhuanlele out for a walk, and left some time for Jiang He to coax and persuade Xu Hehua.
As soon as Jiang Shushu and the other two left, Xu Hehua cried out in pain, "Oh my God..."
Xu Hehua was persuaded by Jiang He's eloquence again. She had no thoughts at all and was only filled with joy at receiving the gift.
When Jiang Shushu and the other two came back from their walk, Xu Hehua put on the gold bracelet, her face full of joy. "Shushu, I received your gift. I like it very much. Wearing this golden bracelet on my hand, I feel that my arm looks better than before. It's especially eye-catching."
Dear friends, let me recommend my last novel "Unexpected Fortune from Heaven, I'm Going Crazy with Killing". It is a quick-transmigration novel consisting of four short stories. Each short story is a complete story line. The characters have their own characteristics and their IQ is normal. The heroine is a growth-oriented person who is weak at first and then becomes strong.
