Chapter 16 Alternative Vent
It's dawn.
Ye Xiaolei, as usual, washed, ran, cooked breakfast, and organized housework. His lifestyle did not change because of his 120,000 yuan more net worth. If he had to say that there was a change, he only changed his mentality and added confidence between his eyebrows.
The two brothers Ye Xiaolei and Ye Xiaofeng were having breakfast silently, chatting without saying a word.
"Brother, it's Saturday the day after tomorrow." Ye Xiaofeng said, wanting to speak but stopping.
"Well, I know." Ye Xiaolei looked at his younger brother in surprise, and then he saw that his younger brother was worried. "Tell me if you have anything to do."
Ye Xiaofeng gritted his teeth and finally said, "Brother, I know there is no money at home, but you... can you add a better set of clothes for yourself? I won't buy Xiaoyu and I tonic, and we are not short of nutrition."
After saying that, Ye Xiaofeng lowered his head and chewed the bread in his hand in big mouthfuls, not daring to look at his elder brother again, for fear that his elder brother would get angry.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Ye Xiaolei's face turned gloomy, and he pinched the plate with blue veins on his back.
First, we talk about the parent-teacher meeting, and then we talk about adding new clothes to ourselves. It is not difficult to reason from these two messages that my younger brother disliked his shabbyness. He appeared in school to embarrass them. Ye Xiaolei did not expect that he worked hard to support them to go to school, but in the end he was disliked because of his shabbyness.
Ye Xiaolei knew that young people nowadays prefer face, but after such a thing fell on him, he never felt so angry or powerless.
Ye Xiaolei suppressed his anger, took a few slow deep breaths, and asked without any emotion: "Is this what you mean, or what Xiaoyu means."
When he heard the elder brother’s question and looked at the elder brother’s eyes, Ye Xiaofeng wanted to say it was his and Xiaoyu’s request, but after he spitted out his throat, he changed: “Yes… it’s me.”
After saying that, Ye Xiaofeng lowered his head. When his elder brother looked calm, he felt the pressure was the most. When he faced his elder brother, he could not lie at all.
"Not to be an example."
call……
Ye Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief without the storm she had imagined.
"But after the college entrance examination, you have to go to the construction site with me to work."
Hearing this sentence, Ye Xiaofeng was stunned, "But... Brother, after the college entrance examination, I plan to hand out flyers with Xiaoyu as part-time jobs."
Bang! Ye Xiaolei slapped the table and said sternly: "I said to go to the construction site just to go to the construction site. There is nothing, but Xiaoyu can not go, but you must go."
Seeing the eldest brother getting angry, Ye Xiaofeng's face turned pale. At this time, he understood that the eldest brother was not not angry, but was holding back his anger. He could only respond honestly and lower his head to continue eating breakfast.
...
Seeing his younger brother going to school in a depressed mood, Ye Xiaolei felt sad inexplicably and muttered to himself: "I don't like my mother's ugly, but I'm disliked."
In fact, Ye Xiaolei plans to quit after going to the construction site today and become a full-time game player.
But my brother's words dispelled his thoughts.
Over the years, he has done his best. Although his family has suffered a little, his younger brother and sister have never suffered any hardships and do not understand the pain of making money.
Therefore, he temporarily decided that after the college entrance examination, he would take him to the construction site to experience the life of migrant workers. Only by understanding the hardships of migrant workers can hedge his thoughts on face. If he doesn't go now, his life will get better and better in the future, and there will be no chance.
...
The sun is hot in July.
In order to set an example for his younger brother, Ye Xiaolei could only continue his migrant worker career at the construction site.
Work, rest, work, get off work...
Sunrise and sunset.
After get off work, Ye Xiaolei had a simple meal at the roadside food stall. He dragged his tired body and hurried home. When he thought of making a lot of money in the game, Ye Xiaolei's inner fatigue was wiped out.
After taking a shower and changing into a refreshing dress, Ye Xiaolei suddenly remembered what he promised his younger brother in the morning. He glanced at the virtual helmet and put it back in the box with some reluctance.
At 19:20 in the evening, the sunset is red.
Ye Xiaolei was wearing a white-washed blue shirt and stayed at the door of a specialty store.
Sky House is a very famous store but at the price of civilians. Ye Xiaolei heard that the clothes here are of good quality and not expensive.
Give up the courage to enter the specialty store.
"Welcome." The two shopping guides at the door immediately greeted with a smile on their faces.
From 18 to 23 years old, he has not entered a high-end clothing store for five years. In the face of the shopping guide's greeting, Ye Xiaolei seemed a little restrained.
"What do you need?" asked a shopping guide in his thirties politely.
"I'll take a look." Ye Xiaolei nodded and responded. Although the shopping guide was very polite, his eyes made Ye Xiaolei feel very uncomfortable. Ye Xiaolei had seen too many such eyes, so how could he not see the contempt in it.
Another shopping guide in his early twenties was about to follow Ye Xiaolei and work as a shopping guide for Ye Xiaolei, but after just taking two steps, he was immediately pulled by a shopping guide colleague in his thirties: "Xiao Liang, you have just arrived and haven't developed your eyesight yet. My sister tells you, just the young man who just entered, look at his dress and his rough skin that was tanned and dark. I can guarantee that he is a migrant worker, and he is also the kind of person who has no money. Do you think such a person can afford the clothes here? Although the slogan here is the price of a common person, no matter how much it is, it is not something that ordinary people can afford. I can guarantee that he will leave by himself if it is less than 3 minutes."
"This... sister, I'm idle anyway, so I'll go and have a look. The company has company regulations, so I can't ignore it." Liang Xiaoqi responded helplessly. To be honest, she was not optimistic about Ye Xiaolei, but if she didn't come forward to do shopping guide services, everyone else in the huge store had shopping guides, but he didn't, it would look ugly.
Ye Xiaolei looked at the price tags on rows of various clothes, and felt that his mind was not enough.
The cheapest inch shirt: 288 yuan. The most expensive one is: 999 yuan;
In Ye Xiaolei's words, this money is enough for him to buy a dozen (one dozen = 12) at street stalls and wear new clothes every day. At the same time, he feels fooled. Everyone says that the clothes at Sky Home are not expensive and the price is very popular, but at this price is still called popular? It's simply a robbery of money.
"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 recommend a set of clothes that look simple overall. The clothes here are too fancy and not suitable for me."
"Sir, please come here."
With 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.
After looking in front of the mirror, Ye Xiaolei found that his darker skin looked soft with light-colored clothes. When wearing this outfit, it would be impossible for others to guess that he was a migrant worker.
"Just this is the way." Ye Xiaolei nodded with satisfaction.
"Ah..." Liang Xiaoqi didn't react at all. In her eyes, Ye Xiaolei only looked at it at most and would not actually buy it. Ye Xiaolei had to try on clothes. In order to match his darker skin tone, the only two more suitable ones were.
But the problem is that the total price of this set of clothes is 2,888 yuan, which is not discounted and is a relatively expensive clothing in the store.
"Sir, this set of clothes...the price is a bit expensive. Otherwise, try the clothes over there. The clothes over there are being promoted at a 20% discount." Liang Xiaoqi said at a loss. He didn't expect Ye Xiaolei to really come to buy clothes, and he didn't even look at the price when trying 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 turned dark and almost threw away his clothes. This set of clothes would cost at least half a month's salary, provided that he would not eat or drink before he could get it.
The shopping guide's at a loss made Ye Xiaolei feel warm and asked curiously: "Looking at my outfit, I probably can't afford this set of clothes, why did I introduce these two to me?"
"..." Liang Xiaoqi was a little helpless. She couldn't say that I know you wouldn't buy clothes here. Moreover, your skin is too dark, and these two are the only ones suitable.
"It's expensive, but I want this one." Ye Xiaolei glanced at other clothes. There were not many clothes suitable for him. It's a little expensive, but at least he also had a set of clothes that he could wear.
Of course, the reason why Ye Xiaolei decided to buy this set of clothes was: he wanted to ask his younger brother Ye Xiaofeng to reimburse the clothes. Since his younger brother was so good at face, he simply met his requirements and let his younger brother know that the 3,000 yuan obtained from working on the construction site in a month became the "face" invested in his brother. In this way, he would deeply understand which one is more important than money.
It can be said that this time it was a profound lesson for my younger brother and a reason to vent my anger.
"Ah? You... do you want this?" Liang Xiaoqi looked at Ye Xiaolei in amazement and asked unconfidently. Could it be that this guy is a rich second generation? He doesn't look like him...
Ye Xiaolei seemed to see through Liang Xiaoqi's thoughts and said with a smile: "Girl, stop thinking about it. I am a migrant worker. If it is difficult for migrant workers to buy expensive clothes?"
"No, sorry, that's not what I mean."
...
Finally, in the surprised gaze of the experienced-eyed sister, Ye Xiaolei calmly took out his bank card and swiped the card to pay.
The two clothes and a pair of shoes combined were only 2,886 yuan, but after giving the belt that was worth two yuan, Ye Xiaolei paid 2,888 yuan.
After Ye Xiaolei left, the eldest sister, who was in her thirties, hurriedly asked Liang Xiaoqi: "Okay, Xiaoqi, this guy is not chasing you for you, so she bought the few expensive clothes in our store in one breath, right?"
"No, sister, don't talk nonsense." Liang Xiaoqi's face turned red, and she felt a little happy. Because the commission for selling clothes was high, the commission she received was about 200 yuan, which was more than her daily salary.
"Tsk tsk, Xiaoqi, I'll give you a suggestion. Although that guy is not handsome, he doesn't look like a person who is short of money, if he chases you, you can agree. My sister has seen so many people, and this is the first time she misses her eyes."
"How to say, rich people don't come here to buy clothes, and poor people come here to buy clothes, most of them only choose 400 yuan. But he, a local bully, can spend 3,000 yuan without heartache. It can be seen that the source of income is stable and the money will increase. If I am ten years younger, I will hook him up no matter what.
...
Ye Xiaolei was not heartbroken when he spent three thousand yuan at once, but he was better at hiding his emotions than others. Of course, more importantly, this set of clothes was considered to be bought by his younger brother to give to him in his heart. Only by thinking this way can he feel a little more comfortable.
After returning home, Ye Xiaolei put his new clothes on his body and looked at the mirror for a long time. The more he looked, the more satisfied he became.
To put it bluntly, Ye Xiaolei is just a twenty-three-year-old young man. However, under the scorching sun, he looks a little mature.
I washed my new clothes with clean water, found a corner of the room to dry, and didn't dry them outside, so I was naturally afraid of being held by others. If I was really stolen, I guess I would be in regret in the next few weeks.
After finishing what he should do, Ye Xiaolei couldn't wait to enter the game again.
However, as soon as he entered the game, he was immediately stunned.
At this moment, Qingfeng Village, which was originally very lively, was deserted at this moment. Players hurriedly ran out of the village. As for the resurrection points in the village, groups of players emerged in densely. After the players were resurrected, they rushed out of the village without any hesitation.
"What's going on? The whole village is much quieter than last time, and... why do so many players die in one go?"
