Chapter 343 Brother, Friend and Sister Gong

Chapter 343 Brother, Friend and Sister Gong
Anna, unaware that her brother and sister were secretly scheming against each other over their pocket money for the coming year, hailed a carriage and returned to the apartment, taking William and Melanie, who were glaring at each other, out with her.

What about big brother?
After looking around the door and not seeing Leon, Melanie couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Where's Big Brother? Isn't he with us?"

"He went to get his presents."

After holding Melanie's armpits with both hands and carrying her to the carriage, Anna reached out to hug William and replied casually:

"Your sister Ellie is not in good health. She didn't go to school and rarely goes out. I want to give her a memorable birthday, so I specially ordered some gifts.

But because time is a bit tight, even if we specially add some money, it will almost be completed this morning, so my brother got up early to get the gift, and then he will wait for us at the street corner over there. "

"Oh……"

After listening to Anna's explanation, a hint of envy flashed across Melanie's bright eyes.

That’s great. William and I have never received customized gifts before.

William, who refused Anna's help and got on the carriage by himself, noticed the envy in her eyes, and then reached out and patted her, comforting her like a little adult:
"Don't worry, you'll get it on your birthday. Big brother is always stingy with himself, but he always gives us whatever he has.

We didn’t celebrate our birthdays like this before because our family conditions were too poor, so we could only be frugal. Now our family is much better off, and given my eldest brother’s personality, he will definitely prepare well for our birthdays next time.”

Well... that's true...

Thinking of how good Leon had been to her in the past, the little bit of jealousy in Melanie's heart suddenly disappeared.

Thinking again of the little girl who had to stay at home all year round because of her poor health and had no one to accompany her even when she went to collect bird eggs, she even felt a little guilty. She thought that it was really wrong for her to be jealous of such a poor little girl because of her elder brother's "favoritism".

Anna, who was listening to their conversation, couldn't help but feel soft-hearted. She couldn't help but reach out and touch William's little head, with a hint of guilt in her eyes.

Actually… although they were a little naughty, both William and Melanie were very good children. They remembered who was good to them and knew what to do and what not to do. They would never do anything too excessive…

Well... this is questionable, but at least they can guarantee that they will never do anything excessive, which is generally acceptable. And it was really inappropriate for me to worry that they would bully me before setting off.

After pinching her relatively full purse, Anna, feeling somewhat guilty, made a promise with the intention of compensating her "wronged" brother and sister:

"How about this, since you've been pretty good lately, when I get back tonight, I can buy each of you a present. What do you want?"

? ! ! !
After hearing Anna's promise, not only Melanie smiled happily, but even William looked surprised.

Compared to her eldest brother who was always very "generous", Sister Anna had always been the one who knew how to manage the household. Or to put it bluntly, she just didn't want to spend money and wished she could break every copper wheel into eight pieces and use them up.

Sister Anna, who is always nice except being stingy, was actually generous for once today. We must seize this opportunity!

In addition, according to Sister Anna's personality, the "total amount" of this gift must be limited. Even if the family is well-off now, seven or eight copper wheels are the limit, and this amount is shared by the two of them, so...

Whoever asks for the cheaper gift will suffer a loss!
They looked at each other subconsciously, and after noticing the flickering flames in each other's eyes, the two little guys' brain circuits instantly synchronized, realizing that the other party had thought the same thing as they did, and what would follow would be a war for the reward budget!

"I want a doll! And new shoes!"

Melanie's mind raced quickly, and she, who was quicker in thinking and better at math, blurted out two gifts that cost a total of 5 copper wheels, which instantly took up most of the budget.

After calculating the price of the two gifts, Anna couldn't help but show hesitation in her eyes, but after looking at Melanie's slightly small shoes, she nodded slightly. It's not easy for the eldest brother to make money, so I don't plan to buy them too expensive things, seven or eight copper wheels will be the limit.

Although Melanie took up more than half of the quota, her shoes were indeed a little small and should be changed. If William wanted a toy or something like that, then he could have taken up a little less.

After all, boys’ toys break quickly. Whether you buy a clockwork soldier with 5 copper wheels or a tin frog with 3 copper wheels, they will basically fall apart within two months, so if you can save money, you should save a little...

After calculating the allocation of the quota, Anna nodded slightly, approving Melanie's request.

"Okay...what about you William? What do you want?"

"my words……"

Looking at his sister who was looking at him with a smug look in her big eyes, William couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly and gave her a faint smile in return.

“Buy me some books!”

? ! ! !
Under Melanie's "something bad is going to happen" look, William took out a folded piece of straw paper from his arms and read calmly:

"Sister Anna, the books I want to read are "A Brief History of the Pan-Continental War", "Our Kingdom", "How the Parliament was Established", and "Popular Science on the Regular Arms of Each Kingdom"..."

After reading out a long list of books, William handed the paper to Anna and said modestly:

“Although I have prepared a list, you don’t have to buy all of it, just some of it.

Even though these books were recommended to me by my teacher and they are guaranteed to be good for my academic performance, Melanie's toys are also important. As for my grades, it won't hurt to improve them later. Sister Anna, you should buy her toys first."

"..."

……

Phew... Not bad, just the right time.

After looking at the carriage coming towards him and identifying the figures of the passengers, Lyon, who was waiting at the entrance of Redwood Avenue, waved at the carriage, and the carriage stopped on its own.

"Keep going forward until you reach the innermost part and stop at the entrance of Baohua Manor."

After instructing the coachman and handing him the token of passage, Leon stepped onto the carriage. Just as he was about to ask if Xun was ready, he discovered that the two little guys were in a strange state.

Although William still had a serious face like a little adult as before, his slightly raised chin still revealed his inner joy.

As for Melanie, she sat dejectedly on her seat like a defeated rooster, with her mouth pouted. She even kicked William secretly when Anna looked away when she got into the carriage.

"..."

Looking at William, who had six or seven gray shoe prints on the side of his pants but always had a victorious smile on his face, Lyon couldn't help but rub his brows in worry.

Although there is no evidence for this judgment, I always feel that it would be a very wrong decision to agree to Emma senior and bring these two troublemakers to celebrate Ellie's birthday...
