Chapter 1714: Shopping around
Lin Xiuqing looked at her in surprise, then patted her two hands.
"You want to wear all ten claws?"
Ye Xiaoxi looked at Ye Yaodong, "Is it not allowed? You said it was allowed before."
"Who knew you wanted 10? You just asked me if I could buy them, you didn't say you wanted 10!"
"Ah, you said it was okay, I thought it was okay!" Ye Xiaoxi stretched out her 10 paws in front of him again, her little hands trembling, "Is it okay? Is it okay? My daddy, my dearest daddy."
Lin Xiuqing interjected, "Don't spoil her. Who would buy a car with 10 fingers? It'll just make people laugh. Just buy her a longevity lock instead."
"Who are you laughing at? Dad said not to take it out, so I just bought it to play with at home for a while, and then I put it away for you. I'll keep it with you."
"You can't just leave them all with me. Have you ever seen anyone with all ten fingers covered in gold rings?"
"Yes! When I was little, I remember one year my dad bought a lot of gold bracelets and rings, and I wore them all! Now that I'm all grown up, I want to have them too!"
Ye Yaodong readily agreed, even though the quantity looked large, the actual weight was not much.
"Okay, then buy, buy, buy. Anyway, a child's ring is only a gram or two, or two or three grams. Ten of them together are not as heavy as your necklace. Once you buy them, just put them away and don't leave them in her hands."
"Daddy, Daddy," Ye Xiaoxi happily took his arm, pulled him down a little, then gave him a kiss, and stretched out her ten paws to look at the sales assistant again.
"Beautiful lady, could you please take them out and put them on all ten of my fingers? Thank you!"
The sales assistant cheered her on, and happily helped her choose.
Lin Xiuqing watched helplessly as she coaxed one child after another.
The other two brothers weren't interested in the jewelry; they were boys, not girls, so even though it looked nice, they couldn't wear it.
The family was clearly a big customer, and the sales assistant was exceptionally enthusiastic, constantly recommending things to them. Ye Yaodong thought everything looked good and nodded in agreement.
Lin Xiuqing was displeased. "Can you give me some suggestions? Don't just think this is good and that is good too. How am I supposed to choose?"
"What to choose? If you like them, just buy them all. It's okay to keep them and wear them in rotation. You're the boss's wife now. Gold isn't expensive, and it will appreciate in value over time. It's no different from exchanging money for money."
"Then... I'll just buy it?"
"Buy it, buy it if you like it. Otherwise, if you don't get it and then keep thinking about it after you leave this place, and then ask me to come back and buy it, I won't care."
"That's fine."
Lin Xiuqing carefully selected two gold necklaces, two gold bracelets with different patterns and shapes, three rings, and two pairs of gold earrings.
If she hadn't restrained herself and deleted half of it, the tray would have been full.
Ye Xiaoxi was also troubled. She had to pick a few from the pile, but she liked them all.
"Mom, can you help me choose?"
"Just pick out the characters with auspicious meanings; there are only a few characters on children's ring faces anyway."
Lin Xiuqing carefully selected a necklace and ten rings for her.
Ye Xiaoxi put a finger on each of the 10 she had chosen, then happily waved her fingers at them, "Aren't they pretty? Aren't they pretty?"
Ye Yaodong replied dismissively, "It looks good. Boss, pack it up and then calculate the price."
Today, he's just a ruthless money-collecting robot.
"You two brothers don't need anything here, do you?"
Both brothers shook their heads. Their hands were full of clothes, sneakers, the basketball they wanted, other sports equipment, big toys, and other miscellaneous items.
"Let's go back after we finish shopping here."
Right now, international spot gold is only around 60 yuan per gram, but this jewelry store is different; they sell it for 95 yuan per gram.
It's not expensive, and it won't break if I leave it, so I'll just consider it as saving it up in advance.
Ye Xiaoxi picked them out herself, and they'll all be part of her dowry when she grows up. Ugh... how old is she... it's a long way off.
Lin Xiuqing looked at the gold jewelry being packed, then at Ye Xiaoxi, and touched her earlobe.
"You're 10 years old now, you can get your ears pierced. Do you want to get two piercings?"
Ye Xiaoxi touched her ears, feeling restless but also worried, "Will it hurt a lot?"
"It will definitely hurt for the first few days after the injection."
"How about letting your sister go first? Tell me if it hurts afterward, and then I'll consider whether I want to go first?"
Lin Xiuqing gave her a flick on the forehead, "Why didn't you hit me first to see if it hurt before letting someone hit me?"
"Forget it, let's not fight. I move around a lot in my sleep, and it would hurt terribly if it pressed on my ear."
"Okay, then let's settle the bill and head back."
She happily reached for her own packaged gift box, but Lin Xiuqing slapped her hand away.
"It was agreed that you would buy it and keep it for me. If you take it and someone else snatches it when we leave, I'll keep it for you."
"Oh fine."
Ye Yaodong followed another sales assistant to pay first, and only after they finished did he accompany them home.
All three of them had a great day, buying what they wanted and even more than they expected, and they were all very satisfied.
Having spent so much time in Shanghai and visited so many times before, this was the most satisfying day of shopping.
Ye Yaodong originally intended to take them out for a stroll, but Lin Xiuqing insisted on picking out two outfits for him, so he bought them anyway, since they would need to wear new clothes when they went home for the baby's one-month celebration.
It just so happens that the weather has reached a point where it's neither too hot nor too cold.
"Your birthday is the day after tomorrow. I'll pick you up to go home and celebrate with you that night. After your birthday, I'll be leaving to make money. You all need to study hard in Shanghai and listen to your mother."
"I know." Ye Xiaoxi nodded obediently.
Ye Chengyang said, "Dad, you don't need to keep explaining. You'll see us again in half a month, right? Aren't you going to take us back to our hometown? We haven't been apart for long."
"alright."
Ye Yaodong hailed a taxi. This area was in the center of Puxi, so it was easy to get a taxi. It just so happened that everyone had a lot of things to carry.
When we arrived, there was no other option but to take the bus, as there weren't many cars to be seen in Pudong.
Ye Chenghu looked at the toy car and became eager to try it again. "Mom, you've been learning for over a month now, when are you going to get your driver's license?"
"It should be ready in about a month."
"By the time you finish your exam, I reckon it will be summer vacation."
"I'm not in a hurry, why are you?"
Ye Xiaoxi eagerly answered, "Big brother wants you to drive us to school in your car!"
"That's a nice idea. Just ride your bicycle. Everyone walks or rides to school. You're not going to be special."
"Don't listen to her nonsense. I was thinking that when summer vacation comes, I will definitely go to help out at Dad's factory, and then I won't be able to see Mom driving so skillfully!"
Lin Xiuqing laughed.
P.S.: I'll update more tomorrow because of the holiday. It's too late tonight, and my phone kept dropping while I was writing. Goodnight everyone.
