Chapter 939: A relaxing holiday!
"You kid, you're just wasting money!"
Li Guiru never thought about herself, her heart was always on Lin Baici.
Lin Baici hurried back to his room, took out two prepared boxes from his backpack, and ran back to the kitchen.
"Mom, wash your hands and open the presents first!"
Lin Baici waved the box.
The box was wrapped in colored paper and tied with a red ribbon as a bow, which gave it a sense of ceremony.
This is Ji Xinyan's craftsmanship.
“Wait until the dumplings are done!”
Li Guiru has to go to work soon.
"Mom, hurry up!"
Lin Baici urged. He knew his mother was worried that she would be late for work because she didn’t have enough time. “At worst, you can just take a day off today!”
Li Guiru knew that this was her son's thoughtful gesture and didn't want to disappoint him, so she washed her hands and returned to the living room.
Two gifts were already placed on the coffee table.
Lin Baici stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
Li Guiru looked at the two boxes, one big and one small, and then picked up the small box first.
"I've taken it apart, haven't I?"
"I bought it for you!"
Lin Baici signaled his mother to take it down quickly.
Li Guiru carefully untied the bow and opened the wrapping paper.
"Just tear it apart!"
Lin Baici was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Mom, aren’t you too cautious?
Li Guiru ignored Lin Baici. She was planning to keep the box well.
After unwrapping the colored paper, there was a palm-sized red box inside.
Snapped!
Li Guiru opened the box and found a golden bracelet inside. Although it had no patterns, it looked thick and majestic.
"bracelet?"
Li Guiru was stunned. She never dreamed that her son would buy her a gold bracelet.
"The salesperson at the gold shop said it was made using an ancient craft and is very popular now!"
Lin Baici doesn't understand this kind of stuff either.
"It's so thick, how much does it cost?"
Li Guiru picked up the bracelet carefully and weighed it in her palm.
Such a thick bracelet is definitely not cheap.
"forget!"
Lin Baici chuckled: "Just tell me whether you like it or not?"
Li Guiru didn't say anything and raised her hand to wipe the corner of her eyes.
When she got married, her husband couldn't afford the three gold items, and she didn't want them. After all, when it comes to living, it's better to spend money where it counts. She thought it would be more useful to buy some furniture and appliances.
Later, when Lin Baici's father got into trouble and she was the only one supporting the family, she never thought about buying these things again.
Li Guiru used to envy some of the female workers in the factory who wore gold rings on their hands and gold necklaces around their necks. Unexpectedly, when her son came back this time, he actually bought her such a thick gold bracelet.
“Try it on and see if you like it!”
Lin Baici knew his mother's character. She would feel embarrassed to be moved to tears in front of her children, so he took the initiative to go to the kitchen.
Take shelter first.
"like!"
Li Guiru answered decisively that she liked anything her son bought, even if it was a cheap item from a two-dollar store.
Li Guiru put the gold bracelet on her left wrist; it was a perfect size.
This shows that my son is very clear about the thickness of his wrist.
Li Guiru wiped her tears again.
"Mom, open another present!"
Lin Baici hid in the kitchen and stole a glance at his mother.
Li Guiru unwrapped the colored paper and knew what was inside without even opening the box.
A mobile phone!
"My phone still works, why did you buy me this?"
Li Guiru feels sorry for money.
"The camera on your phone is so bad, it's so blurry that I can't even see you clearly!"
Lin Baici made an excuse: "The signal is not good either, it's always intermittent, change it quickly, and the video calls will be smooth in the future!"
“What do I do with this old one?”
Li Guiru is the kind of person who will only buy a new phone when it breaks down.
"Keep it or sell it, it's up to you!"
Lin Baici came out: "I'll help you replace the phone card!"
Li Guiru opened her mouth but said nothing in the end.
My son is in college and making a lot of money, so I should stop preaching to him.
Li Guiru decided to listen to her son.
By the time Li Guiru finished cooking dumplings for Lin Baici, Lin Baici had also fixed his cell phone.
"Eat slowly, I'm going to work!"
It was getting late, so Li Guiru went back to her bedroom, changed into work clothes, picked up her bag and hurried out.
"A request for leave?"
Lin Baici really didn't want his mother to go to that crappy class.
"You will be deducted 100 yuan for taking a day off!"
Li Guiru's answer was concise and to the point.
"Then be careful on the road!"
Lin Baici knew how important one hundred yuan was to his mother, so he didn't stop her.
boom!
Li Guiru closed the door and quickly went downstairs. She couldn't help but fumble for the phone in her hand. Her heart was full of warmth and pride, but she was shocked the next second.
Got it!
Forgot to take off the bracelet.
Li Guiru has never worn such expensive things when going out!
Nervous! Scared!
Although her son did not tell her how much the bracelet cost, Li Guiru knew that gold was very expensive right now because the news had been reporting that the international situation was unstable and gold prices were skyrocketing.
A bracelet this thick would probably cost around 30,000 or 40,000 yuan, right?
If time had not run out, Li Guiru would have definitely gone home and hidden the gold bracelet in the closet.
……
Lin Baici was not hungry, but he had to finish the dumplings his mother cooked.
After finishing a plate of dumplings in no time, Lin Baici changed his clothes, grabbed a cell phone and went downstairs. He hadn’t been home for more than a year, so he went for a walk.
In the neighborhood in the morning, adults riding electric bikes with their children are walking in a hurry.
I send my child to kindergarten first, then go to work. This is my life every day.
Lin Bai left the community and bought three pounds of fried dough sticks and three servings of tofu pudding at the breakfast stall on the street that had been in business for nearly ten years. He then strolled back to the community and entered Unit 3 of Building .
Go up to the sixth floor and knock on the door.
"Li Wei, open the door!"
Li Wei lives on the top floor.
Ten seconds later, a middle-aged woman opened the door.
"Little words!"
The woman had deep wrinkles on her forehead and many white hairs on her head.
"Aunt, I'm looking for Li Wei!"
This is Li Wei’s mother.
"Xiao Ci? Come, let's have breakfast together!"
In the living room, a middle-aged man greeted Lin Baici.
"uncle!"
Lin Baici greeted.
That was my childhood friend’s father. He had an accident while working in his early years and broke his leg. It was difficult for him to find a job in his condition, so he set up a stall outside the community to repair bicycles and electric bikes.
"Aunt, I bought breakfast!"
Lin Baici picked up the fried dough sticks and tofu pudding in his hand.
"What are you buying for breakfast, kid?"
Aunt Li knew that Lin Baici's family was not rich, but since they had already bought the food, she hurried to the kitchen to get dishes and chopsticks for Lin Baici: "Xiao Dan, can you afford it?"
Xiaodan is Li Wei's nickname.
"I have already eaten!"
Lin Baici sat on the sofa.
"Is life at Haijing Polytechnic hard? Can you adapt to it?"
Uncle Li asked.
“It’s much easier than high school!”
Lin Baici thought to himself, I didn’t attend many classes at all.
When Aunt Li came over with the dishes and chopsticks, Lin Baici handed over the gift.
"Aunt Li, a gift for you!"
"Why are you buying me a gift, kid?"
Aunt Li didn't answer.
"Didn't Xiao Wei tell you? I made money, so of course I came here to show off!"
Lin Baici chuckled.
"When will Xiaodan be like you?"
Aunt Li sighed.
She knew that Lin Baici was a smart and sensible child since childhood, and he was much less of a worry than herself.
He said he was showing off just so that he wouldn't have any psychological burden when he received it.
I really envy Li Guiru.
Li Wei's mother also worked in the food factory before. Later, when her husband had an accident, she took care of him for a few months. During this period, she kept taking leave, so the food factory fired her.
She is working in a restaurant now.
"Open it quickly and take a look!"
Lin Baici stuffed the gift into Aunt Li's hand.
The two families had a good relationship, so Aunt Li didn't refuse. She just opened the colored paper and saw that there was a mobile phone inside. She wanted to give it back to Lin Baici.
"For my aunt!"
Lin Baici crossed his arms and refused to take it.
"Hey, it's a Huawei phone? It's about three or four thousand, right?"
Uncle Li watches videos when he has nothing to do, so he knows all this.
When Aunt Li heard the price was three or four thousand, she was even more afraid to take it.
"I don't know, this is a benefit from the company, I can't use it!"
Lin Baici started to make up white lies again: "My mother also has one."
"Welfare?"
Aunt Li envied: "Aren't you a freshman? You've already found a job?"
"One of my classmates started a business, and I'm working for him!"
Lin Baici explained.
"Starting a business? Then his family should be quite rich, right?"
Uncle Li interrupted.
"Yeah, super rich!"
"Then you have to do a good job!"
Uncle Li warned.
"What industry does your classmate work in?"
Aunt Li asked.
But before Lin Baici could answer, he was interrupted by Uncle Li.
"Okay, your son is studying at Haijing Normal University, which is a far cry from Xiaoci's Haijing Polytechnic. Besides, Xiaoci is studying the popular software engineering, while your son is studying literature. How can they be the same?"
Uncle Li knew what his wife was thinking and wanted to see if his son had a chance to join the company of his classmate Lin Baici.
They knew that Li Wei was also working. They used to think that he was quite impressive because he earned more than a thousand yuan, which allowed them to spend less on living expenses. But now it seems that compared with Lin Baici, he is nothing!
"I told Xiaodan to apply for software engineering as well!"
Aunt Li felt regretful.
"You should save your energy. With Xiaodan's grades, if he dares to apply, then he should be prepared to fail!"
Uncle Li despised.
“You can apply for software engineering at other schools!”
Aunt Li also knew that the university Lin Baici attended was highly ranked.
"Same major, different schools, different salaries after graduation!"
Uncle Li saw that his wife wanted to talk, so he interrupted her: "You've already been in college for a year, it's too late to say anything now!"
"It would be great for Xiao Wei to be a teacher in the future!"
After Lin Baici finished speaking, he saw Li Wei coming out wearing shorts and slippers.
"You don't sleep in?"
Li Wei rubbed his eyes.
"Do you think everyone is as lazy as you?"
Aunt Li rolled her eyes at Li Wei, but then showed a doting look and served him food.
My child cannot compare with Lin Baici, but compared with other children, he is also very good.
In the entire community, it is rare to find a child who can get into Haijing University, let alone a child who can get into a reputable university.
"Uncle, aunt, take your time eating. I'm going to go back first. I still have a pile of clothes to wash!"
Lin Baici stood up: "Xiao Wei, come find me later!"
"Ok!"
Li Wei lowered his head and drank tofu pudding.
After seeing Lin Baici off, Aunt Li sighed, "Xiaoci seems to have become prettier again. He should be courted by many girls in college, right?"
"Be more confident and remove the word 'should'!"
Li Wei remembered Bai Lele, who asked him for Lin Baici's WeChat ID after seeing Lin Baici's photo, and also remembered the beautiful woman who drove a BMW to pick Lin Baici up that day.
By the way, there was another person on the train who asked him for his WeChat ID.
As long as Lin Baici is willing, not to mention being single, he can directly upgrade from a boy to a man.
If Lin Baici was a little more of a scumbag, he would probably have been able to kill a hundred people in his four years at university.
"The girl doesn't like Xiao Ci only because he has no money, not because he is ugly!"
Uncle Li laughed: "If Xiao Ci is not handsome, there won't be many handsome ones!"
"What about you? Is there a girl you like?"
Aunt Li asked.
"I didn't have time to talk!"
Li Wei is most afraid of this topic.
"You know what Xiao Ci did?"
Aunt Li also knew that the family was poor and her son had low self-esteem.
"I know. I can earn 30,000 yuan a month by making small programs, and bonuses are not included!"
"How many?"
Aunt Li's voice immediately rose, and she looked shocked, and so was Uncle Li.
He estimated that Lin Baici should earn a lot, but a monthly income of over ten thousand at most. He didn't expect it to be only thirty thousand!
What an astronomical figure!
You can’t make that much money even if you run a car repair stall for a year.
"You heard it right, thirty thousand a month!"
Li Wei laughed: "But if Xiaobai is willing, he can probably upgrade from an employee to the boss's husband!"
"Is his classmate who started a business a girl?"
Uncle Li was curious.
"Ok!"
Li Wei was envious, he also wanted to have a face that could support him as a gigolo.
"Here's the phone, you can use it!"
Aunt Li gave the cell phone to her son.
"Xiao Bai gave it to you, how can I use it?"
Li Wei lowered his head to eat. He also had a little self-respect.
……
Lin Baici wanted to do some housework, but his mother cleaned the house so thoroughly that he had no chance to do anything.
With nothing to do, Lin Baici just lay on the sofa and browsed his phone.
I happened to go to the Origin Forum and search for news about Ryugu Island.
But Lin Baici spent half an hour browsing and didn't find any valuable information.
As a holy place in Japan, Ryugu Island is blocked from all news.
Except for the selected Japanese, people from other countries are not allowed to land on the island. If found, they will be killed without mercy!
"How is Sannomiya Airi going to get us to the island?"
Lin Baici was curious.
dong dong!
"Little words!"
Tang Qing knocked on the door: "Are you up?"
"get up!"
When Lin Baici opened the door, he saw Tang Qing wearing shorts and a round-neck vest, standing outside with a plate of steamed dumplings. Her semi-long hair was tied into a ponytail, and she looked like the older sister next door.
"Try my steamed buns!"
Tang Qing showed off.
Lin Baici took a bun and put it in his mouth.
"good to eat!"
Lin Baici gave a thumbs up, opened the door and let Tang Qing in.
"Auntie went to work?"
Tang Qing used to come here often and they were very familiar with each other. She didn't sit in the living room, but went directly to Lin Baici's bedroom.
"Hey!"
Lin Baici called for help.
"What's wrong? Haven't you put away your underwear yet?"
Tang Qing joked.
She worked in a watch factory, and although she had never had sex, she knew about this kind of thing. Otherwise, if she accidentally got pregnant, her parents would beat her to death.
"How about sister help you wash it?"
Tang Qing didn't mean anything else, he just joked around in the factory and teased Lin Baici.
But as soon as she said it, she realized that she shouldn't have said it.
Lin Baici is a college student, not one of those vulgar men in the factory, so he probably wouldn't be able to accept this kind of joke.
"Just wash your underwear?"
Lin Baici replied without thinking, but after he finished speaking, he saw Tang Qing rolling his eyes at him.
"You still want me to wash your hair? Xiao Ci, you've also become a bad person!"
Tang Qing didn't mean to complain, he just wanted to express that Xiao Ci also understood these things.
Lin Baici was stunned for a moment before he reacted. Damn, Sister Tang, what are you thinking about?
