Chapter 178 Flattery
Chapter 178 Flattery
Li Jiayi could only say this to Li Aimin.
"Okay, okay." Li Aimin nodded repeatedly.
As for the peanuts that Ye Xin took away, he no longer cared.
This is much better than those ten kilograms of peanuts.
Because those ten kilograms of peanuts are fixed and will be one less each time you eat them.
But the peanuts in the kitchen are different! As long as Li Jiayi keeps them coming, he can fry them every day.
After putting the peanuts away, Ye Xin went to cook, and Li Jiaqi followed to help.
Only Li Jialin, who was sitting there motionless, was pulled by the ears and forced to boil the pot.
After dinner, Li Jiayi returned to his room alone.
Tomorrow is Sunday, and he has to get up early because he has to go to the department store to buy a bicycle.
Silent all night.
At around six o'clock in the morning, Li Jiayi got out of bed on time.
He first practiced boxing in the space, then washed and took a shower, and then changed his clothes and came out of the space.
When he went downstairs, the meal was ready. Li Simin and Ye Xin were also resting today.
After breakfast, Li Jiayi said to the elder sister: "Let's go, elder sister, are all the things ready?"
Li Jiaqi patted his schoolbag and said, "Everything is ready. We can go now."
"Sister, brother, where are you going?" Li Jialin quickly stood up and asked.
"Don't ask where we're going, just stay at home." Li Jiayi gave Li Jialin a slap on the head and said.
Li Jialin rubbed her forehead and said, "No, I want to go with you."
"Son, where are you planning to go?" Ye Xin asked at this time.
"Uh!" Li Jiayi touched his nose and said, "Mom, my elder sister and I are going to the department store to have a look."
"Let's go to the department store! It just so happens that I am planning to go to the department store too." Ye Xin said.
"Mom, what are you doing in the department store?" Li Jiayi asked puzzledly.
"It's getting hot! I'm going to the department store to buy some fabric and make you some summer clothes."
The two siblings looked at each other, and Li Jiayi could only say, "Okay, then let's go together."
Li Jiayi originally wanted to give his mother a surprise, but now if they go together, the surprise will be gone.
The department store in Wangfujing is far from their home, so the only way to get there is by bus.
Of course, you can also ride a bike, which is probably much faster than taking the bus.
But there were too many of them, and riding bicycles was not feasible because there were not enough bicycles at home.
I got on the bus and it was swaying along the way. After half an hour, I finally arrived at the destination.
The department store is huge, and at the moment, it is definitely the largest shopping mall in the country.
I heard that on the first day of opening, there were so many people coming to buy things that after all the customers left, the entire department store was filled with several baskets of worn-out shoes.
You can imagine how popular this place is in this era.
Maybe because it’s Sunday, there are a lot of people in the department store today.
Li Jiayi first accompanied his mother to buy cloth, and then the four of them walked to the place where bicycles were sold.
"Son, what are we doing here?" Ye Xin asked puzzledly.
"Mom, I wanted to give you a surprise. Now that you're here, I'll tell you! I want to buy you a bicycle."
"What, buy a bicycle?"
"Yup!"
"No, no, why buy that thing? A bicycle is enough for the family." Ye Xin shook her head and said.
"Mom, my dad takes you to and from get off work every day, but you know my dad's legs, so it's better for you to have a bicycle."
Hearing his son say this, Ye Xin thought about it, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, then buy one."
"Mom, don't buy one, buy two."
"Buy two?"
"Yes! I plan to buy one for my elder sister too, so that she can take me to and from school."
Hearing Li Jiayi's words, Ye Xin quickly said, "Son, women's bicycles are not cheap! One costs more than 200 yuan."
Li Jiayi knew what his mother was worried about, so he quickly said, "Mom, I know this, and I'm ready."
"OK then!"
"I want a bicycle too." At this moment, Li Jialin suddenly shouted.
Ye Xin glared at her and asked, "What do you want a bicycle for?"
"My elder sister rides a bicycle to school, so I want to ride one to school too."
Li Jiayi rolled his eyes at her and said, "Is there anyone in your school who rides a bicycle to school?"
Li Jiayi is very familiar with Xinjiekou Primary School.
Because he just graduated from there last year.
There is absolutely no one in the school who rides a bicycle to go to school, mainly because the primary school students are not particularly old.
It’s different in junior high school. Except for Li Jiayi, the youngest student is about the same age as the little black fat boy.
The little black fat boy is already fourteen, and there are many people older than him.
For families with good financial conditions, it is not a problem to provide children with a bicycle to go to school.
"But……"
"No buts. You can ride your bike to school if you want! Wait until you enter junior high school."
To be honest, it's not impossible to buy a bicycle for my second sister, but it's definitely not possible now. "Brother, you said it! You can't deny it when the time comes."
"Do not worry!"
Then Li Jiayi turned to the salesperson and said, "Do you have Phoenix women's bicycles here?"
"Yes, a batch just arrived yesterday."
When he heard that he had just arrived, Li Jiayi's eyes lit up.
When he came, he was worried that there was no stock! He didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.
In fact, the bicycles are out of stock this time because the current production capacity is not high.
So people often cannot buy bicycles even though they have tickets.
"Give me two."
"Two? Are you sure?"
"Sure, this is my mother. If you don't believe me, you should believe my mother, right?"
Li Jiayi was also helpless, because he was young!
As the saying goes, a man without a beard cannot do things well, and that's exactly what he means.
"Yes, comrade, we want two." Ye Xin nodded.
"Okay, please show me your bicycle ticket."
Li Jiayi quickly took out two tickets for a Phoenix brand women's 26-inch bicycle from his pocket.
"Take a look." Li Jiayi handed over the ticket and said.
The salesperson quickly checked the bicycle tickets, as he was worried that there might be fake tickets.
"There's nothing wrong with your two tickets. I'll issue them to you now. You can pay the money later and come pick up your bikes."
"Ok."
The salesperson quickly issued the ticket and Li Jiayi quickly took it and went to the cashier to pay.
Damn, this women's bicycle is so expensive, one costs two hundred and twenty-five yuan, which is several dozen more expensive than the Phoenix 28-bar bicycle!
Li Jiayi paid a total of four hundred and fifty yuan for the two bicycles, which is equivalent to Ye Xin's ten months salary!
"Here's the ticket." Li Jiayi handed it over.
The salesperson picked it up, looked at it, saw the official seal on it, and directly pushed out two Phoenix women's bicycles.
You know what, there is a reason why it is expensive. This 26-inch women's bicycle looks much better than the 28-inch bicycle.
Don’t think that’s all you need to do. Next you need to register the bicycle and stamp it.
After coming out of the department store, she hurriedly took her second sister, and her eldest sister took Li Jiayi to the police station.
Once we got there, there was a thorough inspection to make sure all the documents and stuff were complete, and then we put the license plate on it and stamped it.
The bicycle that my elder sister rides is of course under her name, because the police station needs to issue a bicycle license, which must be registered.
The fee for one bicycle is two dollars and forty cents, and the total cost for two bicycles is four dollars and eighty.
After paying the money, the police station issued a small green booklet, which is the bicycle license.
After leaving the police station, the group went straight home. They didn't know how many people were watching them along the way.
There's no way around it. Two Phoenix brand women's bicycles are what countless people dream of having.
And now two of them appear at once, there are two of them!
It's like this on the road, not to mention Courtyard No. 7.
Because today is Sunday and many people are not working, there are of course a lot of people in the yard.
Seeing Ye Xin and Li Jiaqi pushing two bicycles in, everyone showed shocked expressions.
You know, Li Jia's family has one bicycle! Now they bought two more.
You have to know that there were only two bicycles in the entire No. 7 Courtyard before this.
And one of the cars belonged to Li Jia's family. How could this not be shocking?
Speaking of buying bicycles, many people in No. 7 Courtyard want to buy one, but unfortunately there are no bicycle tickets.
Whether it is more than one hundred yuan or more than two hundred yuan, it is not a big deal for some people in the hospital.
After greeting everyone, the family of four walked towards the central courtyard.
The adults were better and knew how to restrain themselves, but the children didn’t understand and kept following the bicycle until it reached the east wing.
However, the children did not go in, but stood outside the Moon Gate.
Needless to say, this was all due to their parents' teachings, not allowing them to enter the East Courtyard.
These people are also helpless because Li Jiayi is not someone to be trifled with.
Despite this, Ye Xin still went into the house, grabbed a handful of candies, and gave one to each of the children.
Li Aimin came out of the house at this time. When he saw the two bicycles, he showed a surprised expression and asked, "Did you buy bicycles?"
"Yes! Is there any problem?" Li Jiayi asked.
"No problem. With these two bicycles, it will be convenient for our family to go anywhere in the future."
At this time, Ye Xin came over and asked, "Son, what do you want to eat for lunch? Tell me and I'll make it for you."
"Mom, I want to eat anything you make."
"Hahaha, okay, Mom will go cook and make you some delicious food."
"Ok!"
No matter what time it is, no matter how many holes there are, flattery never wears out. No matter who you are, everyone likes to be praised.
Ye Xin is of course no exception.
Ye Xin took Li Jiaqi and Li Jialin to cook, and Li Jiayi followed his father back to the main room.
"Son, you are amazing! I didn't expect you had so many bicycle tickets."
You know, he just took several tickets from Li Jiayi yesterday!
Although not all of them are bicycle tickets, there are quite a few of them.
PS: Please give me a monthly ticket and recommendation ticket! Thank you!
