Chapter 16: Alternative Venting
It's dawn.
Ye Xiaolei is the same as usual, washing, running, making breakfast, tidying up housework, and the rules of life have not changed because of the increase in net worth of 120,000, if you have to say that there is a change, what has changed is just the mentality, and there is more confidence between the eyebrows.
Ye Xiaolei and Ye Xiaofeng were silently eating breakfast, chatting without a word.
"Brother, the day after tomorrow is Saturday." Ye Xiaofeng said a word, and stopped talking.
"yes, I know." Ye Xiaolei glanced at his younger brother in surprise, and at this glance, he could see that his younger brother had something on his mind, "If there is anything, just say it." ”
Ye Xiaofeng gritted his teeth, and finally said: "Brother, I know that the family doesn't have much money, but you ...... Can you add yourself a better set of clothes, I won't buy Xiaoyu's supplements for me and Xiaoyu, and we are not short of nutrition. ”
After finishing speaking, Ye Xiaofeng lowered his head and chewed the bread in his hand in a big gulp, not daring to look at the eldest brother again, for fear that the eldest brother would be mad.
Sure enough, after Ye Xiaolei heard this, his face became gloomy, and he pinched the plate with green tendons on the back of his hand.
first said that the parent-teacher meeting, and then said that he had added new clothes, and it is not difficult to deduce from these two pieces of information that the younger brother is disgusted with his shabbyness, and his appearance at school is a shame for them. Ye Xiaolei didn't expect that he worked hard for them to go to school, but in the end he was disgusted because of his shabbyness.
Ye Xiaolei knew that young people now love face more, but after such a thing fell on him, he had never felt so angry and powerless.
Ye Xiaolei held back his anger, and after taking a few deep breaths slowly, he asked in an emotionless voice, "Is this what you mean, or what Xiaoyu means." ”
Hearing the eldest brother's question, and then looking at the eldest brother's eyes, Ye Xiaofeng wanted to say that it was his and Xiaoyu's request, but after the words came out of his throat, he changed: "Yes...... It's me. ”
After speaking, Ye Xiaofeng lowered his head. When the eldest brother has a calm face, it is when he feels the most pressure, and in the face of the eldest brother, he can't lie at all.
"Don't take it as an example."
Call......
There was no imaginary storm, and Ye Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief.
"But after the college entrance examination, you have to go to the construction site with me."
Hearing this, Ye Xiaofeng was stunned, "But...... Big brother, after the college entrance examination, I plan to work part-time with Xiaoyu to distribute leaflets. ”
Bang! Ye Xiaolei slapped the table and said sharply: "I said that going to the construction site is going to the construction site, there is nothing but Xiaoyu can not go, but you must go." ”
Seeing that the eldest brother was angry, Ye Xiaofeng's face turned pale. At this time, he understood that the eldest brother was not angry, but held back his anger, and could only respond honestly at the moment, bowed his head and continued to eat breakfast.
……
Watching his younger brother go to school in a depressed mood, Ye Xiaolei felt inexplicably sad, and muttered self-deprecatingly: "My son doesn't think my mother is ugly, but I am disliked." ”
In fact, Ye Xiaolei plans to resign after going to the construction site today and become a full-time gamer.
But his brother's words dispelled his thoughts.
Over the years, he has done his best, although the family has suffered a little, but his younger brother and sister have not suffered much, and they don't understand the bitterness of making money.
Therefore, he temporarily decided that after his younger brother finished the college entrance examination, he would get him to the construction site to experience the life of migrant workers.
……
The July sun is hot.
In order to set an example for his younger brother, Ye Xiaolei could only continue his career as a migrant worker at the construction site.
Work, rest, work, get off work......
sunset.
After getting off work, Ye Xiaolei had a simple meal at the roadside food stall, dragged his tired body, and hurriedly ran home, thinking that he could make a lot of money in the game, Ye Xiaolei's inner fatigue was swept away.
After taking a shower and changing into a refreshing clothes, Ye Xiaolei suddenly remembered what he promised his younger brother in the morning, glanced at the virtual helmet, and put it back in the box with some reluctance.
At 19:20 in the evening, the sunset was red.
Ye Xiaolei was wearing a white-washed blue shirt and stayed at the door of a specialty store.
Sky House, a very famous but civilian price store, Ye Xiaolei heard that the clothes here are of good quality and the price is not expensive.
Gather the courage and step into the store.
"Welcome." The two shopping guides at the door immediately greeted them with a smile on their faces.
18 years old to now 23 years old, a full 5 years, five years have not stepped into a high-end clothing store, in the face of the shopping guide's greeting, Ye Xiaolei seems a little restrained.
"What do you need?" A shopping guide in his thirties asked politely.
"I'll take a look." Ye Xiaolei nodded in response, although this shopping guide was very polite, but his eyes made Ye Xiaolei feel very uncomfortable, this kind of look Ye Xiaolei had seen too much, how could he not see the contempt.
Another shopping guide in his early twenties was just about to follow Ye Xiaolei and do a shopping guide for Ye Xiaolei, but as soon as he took two steps, he was immediately pulled by a shopping guide colleague in his thirties: "Xiaoliang, you haven't been here for a long time, and you haven't practiced your eyesight, the eldest sister will tell you, just this young man who went in just now, you look at the dress on his body, and the tanned rough skin, I dare to guarantee that he is a migrant worker, and he is the kind of person who has no money, you say, can such a person afford to buy clothes here?" Although our slogan here is a civilian price, it is not something that ordinary people can afford, and I dare to guarantee that he will leave by himself in no more than 3 minutes. ”
"This ...... Eldest sister, I'm idle anyway, I'll just go and take a look, the company has company regulations, and I can't ignore it. Liang Xiaoqi replied a little helplessly, to be honest, she is not optimistic about Ye Xiaolei, but if she doesn't come forward to do shopping guide services, in the huge store, everyone else has a shopping guide, but he doesn't, it will look ugly.
Ye Xiaolei looked at the price tags on the rows of clothes with various patterns, and felt that his head was not enough.
The cheapest shirt: 288 yuan. The most expensive is: 999 yuan;
In Ye Xiaolei's words, this money is enough for him to buy a dozen (a dozen = 12) at the stalls, and wear new clothes every day, at the same time, he has a feeling of being fooled, everyone says that the clothes in the sky house are not expensive, and the price is very civilian, but at this price is still called civilian? It's a money grab.
"Hello sir, what kind of clothes do you need? Of course, even if you don't buy it, you can try it on for free. Liang Xiaoqi said with a smile at Ye Xiaolei.
"This ...... Can you help me recommend a set of clothes that look plain overall, the clothes here are too fancy and not suitable for me. ”
"Sir, please."
Under the recommendation of the shopping guide, Ye Xiaolei tried on a set of clothes, a light blue T-shirt, light khaki trousers, and a pair of dark khaki casual leather shoes.
Looking in the mirror, Ye Xiaolei found that his darker complexion looked gentle under the combination of light-colored clothes, and it was impossible for others to guess his identity as a migrant worker when he wore this set of clothes.
"That's it." Ye Xiaolei nodded with satisfaction.
"Ah......" Liang Xiaoqi didn't react at once, in her eyes, Ye Xiaolei would at most just look at it, and wouldn't really buy it, and Ye Xiaolei wanted to try on clothes, in order to match his darker complexion, the only ones that were more suitable were these two.
But the problem is that the price of this set of clothes is 2888 yuan, which is not discounted, and it belongs to the more expensive clothes in the store.
"Sir, this ...... The price of this set of clothes is a bit expensive, otherwise, you can try the clothes over there, the clothes over there are on sale, 20% off. Liang Xiaoqi said a little overwhelmed, he didn't expect Ye Xiaolei to really come to buy clothes, and he didn't look at the price when he tried on clothes.
Hearing Liang Xiaoqi's words, Ye Xiaolei opened the price tag of the collar, T-shirt: 999 yuan; Pants: 888 yuan; Leather shoes: 999 yuan.
Seeing this price, Ye Xiaolei's eyes darkened, and he almost didn't throw away his clothes. Just this set of clothes will cost him at least half a month's salary, provided that he doesn't eat or drink to make it up.
The shopping guide's confusion made Ye Xiaolei's heart warm, and he asked curiously: "Look at my dress, you shouldn't be able to afford this dress, why do you introduce these two pieces to me." ”
"......" Liang Xiaoqi was a little helpless, she couldn't say, I know you won't buy clothes here, and besides, your skin is too dark, only these two are suitable.
"It's expensive, but I'm going to do it." Ye Xiaolei glanced at the other clothes, there are really not many clothes suitable for him, it is a little expensive, but at least he has a set of clothes that he can wear out.
Of course, the reason why Ye Xiaolei was determined to buy this set of clothes was: he wanted to ask his younger brother Ye Xiaofeng to reimburse the cost of the clothes, since his younger brother was so good-looking, he simply met his requirements, and when the time came, let his younger brother know that the 3,000 yuan he got from working on the construction site for a month had become the 'face' invested in his brother, so that he would have a deep understanding of which is more important than face and banknotes.
It can be said that this time is a profound lesson for my younger brother and a reason to vent my anger.
"Huh? You...... Do you want this set? Liang Xiaoqi looked at Ye Xiaolei dumbfounded, and asked unconfidently. Could it be that this guy is a rich second generation? It's not like it......
Ye Xiaolei seemed to see through Liang Xiaoqi's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Girl, don't think about it, I'm just a migrant worker, can it be that migrant workers can't buy expensive clothes?" ”
"No, no, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that."
……
In the end, in the surprised gaze of the seasoned-eyed eldest sister, Ye Xiaolei calmly took out the bank card and swiped the card to pay.
The sum of the two clothes and a pair of shoes was only 2,886 yuan, but after giving the belt 'worth' two yuan, Ye Xiaolei paid 2,888 yuan.
After Ye Xiaolei left, the eldest sister in her thirties hurriedly asked Liang Xiaoqi: "Okay, Xiaoqi, this guy won't chase you for you, so he bought the few expensive clothes in our store in one go, right?" ”
"What's the matter, eldest sister, don't talk nonsense." Liang Xiaoqi's face turned red, and she was a little happy in her heart, because the commission for selling a set of clothes was high, and the commission she got was almost 200 yuan, which was more than her salary in a day.
"Tut, Xiaoqi, give you a Jianyi, although that guy is not handsome, but looking at his attitude of paying the bill, he is not like a person who is short of money, if he chases you, you will respond, the eldest sister has seen so many people, this is the first time to look away."
"How to say it, rich people don't come here to buy clothes, and rich people come here to buy clothes, most of them choose the price of 400 yuan, but he is a turtle, and he can spend 3,000 yuan without heartache, it can be seen that the source of income is stable, and the money will be more and more, if the old lady is ten years younger, how to say it, you have to hook him."
……
Spending three thousand yuan at once, Ye Xiaolei is not heartbroken, it's just that he is better at hiding his feelings than others, of course, more importantly, this set of clothes, deep down in his heart, has been bought by his younger brother as a gift for himself, only when he thinks like this, he feels a little more comfortable.
After returning home, Ye Xiaolei put on his new clothes again, and spent a lot of time in front of the mirror, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.
To put it bluntly, Ye Xiaolei is only a twenty-three-year-old young man. It's just that under the scorching sun, it looks a little mature.
I washed the new clothes with clean water, found an indoor corner to dry, and did not dry outside, naturally because I was afraid of being led by others, and if it was really stolen, it is estimated that I will live in regret in the next few weeks.
After finishing what should be done, Ye Xiaolei couldn't wait to enter the game again.
However, as soon as he entered the game, he was immediately stunned.
At this time, Qingfeng Village, which was originally very lively, was deserted at the moment, and the players hurriedly ran outside the village, as for the resurrection point in the village, groups of players emerged densely, and after the players were resurrected, they rushed directly to the outside of the village without any hesitation.
"This ...... What's going on? The whole village is much more deserted than last time, and ...... How did so many players die at once? ”
PS: Yesterday the typhoon passed, and today there are circuit repairs everywhere, and there is a power outage during the day, so today is temporarily a change, and tomorrow it will be made up.
