【8 Brother and Sister Love】
() Linhuai is surrounded by the majestic Qinshan Mountain in the south and the Huaijiang River in the north with abundant water flow. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has an extraordinary momentum. It is exactly where the Dragon Vein is called in Feng Shui. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. The mighty Huaijiang River
, galloping thousands of miles, it merges into the East China Sea, hence the name "Linhuai". It is the provincial capital of Jianghuai Province, an economically powerful province in East China.
Since the reform and opening up, Linhuai's industry has developed rapidly. Relying on convenient transportation, a three-dimensional transportation network of water, land and air has been formed. Linhuai International Airport has direct flights to more than 100 countries in the world, and the Beijing-Hong Kong Railway runs through Jianghuai.
Throughout the territory, materials from all provinces in central China flowed down the Huaijiang River, and then went out to sea through the port. Linhuai's name was resounding throughout the world, and it became an important transportation hub in the mainland, looking like an international metropolis.
Gao Ao took Gao Xiaoxi out of the guest house, got on the bus, passed a few stops, and got off near the department store.
"Wow, this building is so tall. How many floors does it have? The tallest building in our hometown has only twelve floors!"
The "JAC International Financial Center" opposite the department store is a landmark building in Linhuai, with a height of 338 meters and a total of 79 floors. Gao Xiaoxi was amazed when he saw such a tall building for the first time. He was dazzled by the numbers and could not figure out what it was.
77th floor or 78th floor?
Looking at the look of his sister "Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden for the first time", Gao Ao couldn't help but feel a little sad. He said silently in his heart, "I am a useless brother. My sister has grown so big and I can't even take her around. I will do more in the future."
Thanks to my efforts, Xiaoxi has traveled all over the world, seeing the most beautiful scenery, wearing the best clothes, living in the most luxurious houses, and eating the sweetest food!"
The location of the department store is the commercial center of Linhuai City. There are many shops on the pedestrian street and high-rise buildings rising from the ground, row after row, which only makes Gao Xiaoxi feel dizzy.
"Oh, the city is really lively. It's a pity that I couldn't bring my parents with me." Gao Xiaoxi looked around all the way and said with regret when his eyes were wide open.
He patted his sister's head proudly and lovingly: "Xiaoxi, don't worry, when I have money in the future, I will buy a house here so that you and your parents can live in this city every day."
Gao Xiaoxi smiled, gave a thumbs up to his brother and said, "Well, come on, brother, you are so good at studying. After graduation, you will definitely be able to find a good job in the provincial capital and buy a house."
He smiled arrogantly and did not comment. He said to himself, don't say that your brother has been expelled from school. Even if you successfully get your diploma, with my second degree, I can find a job with a monthly salary of five or six thousand.
Very good. The housing prices nearby are the highest in Linhuai, with prices approaching 30,000 per square meter. To buy a house of 80 square meters, you need 2.4 million. Even if you don’t eat or drink, you will have to save for more than 40 years...
"Come on, let's go shopping in the mall."
Gao Ao took Gao Xiaoxi into the mall and walked around upstairs and downstairs. Gao Xiaoxi was dazzled by what he saw. He kept mumbling that the things were all good, but they were too expensive. A dress cost over a thousand yuan.
Money is such a luxury.
Gao Ao didn't explain much. For a rural girl like Gao Xiaoxi who came to the metropolis for the first time, clothes worth a thousand dollars are indeed considered luxuries, let alone those famous brands that cost tens of thousands.
"Xiaoxi, you wait for me here, I'll go to the bathroom for a while."
When preparing to leave, Gao Ao felt a little anxious. When he walked to the door, he asked Gao Xiaoxi to wait for him near the clock counter, then turned and went to the bathroom.
After entering the bathroom, Gao Ao, who originally only planned to urinate, felt the need to squat for a while. After five minutes, he finished his obeisance and walked out of the bathroom relaxed, returning to where he was to look for his sister.
After turning left and right, in less than two minutes, Gao Ao saw Gao Xiaoxi, but from a distance he saw her with red eyes, standing in front of the clock counter without saying anything, and the salesperson behind the counter was sarcastically mocking her.
"You look like a rural girl at first glance. You say you can't afford it and yet you pretend to try it on. It's really embarrassing!" The salesperson with thick foundation on her face and a long face like a horse said nonstop.
Gaoao walked up quickly and asked, "Xiaoxi, what's wrong?"
Gao Xiaoxi's eyes were red, and he lowered his head and murmured: "I had nothing to do. I looked at the beautiful watch inside. I thought the price was 110 yuan, so I asked the salesperson to take it out and try it. It turned out to be... 11,000, people.
When I get impatient, I start complaining. It’s okay. It’s all my fault for not looking carefully. I just want to apologize to them!”
"What are you apologizing for!"
Ao Ao grabbed Gao Xiaoxi, who was about to bend down to apologize, and said angrily to the salesperson: "What? Who said you can't try on watches? Is this the quality of salespersons in department stores?"
Some people just bully the weak and fear the strong. The more you talk down to her, the more she will step on her nose and face. If you are tough with her, she will become soft.
The salesman glanced at Gao Ao, knowing that he was at fault, he snorted and muttered quietly: "It's not that you can't try it, but if it breaks, what compensation will you get?"
Arrogant and furious: "What are you talking about? You have to speak louder, I can't hear you. Who told you to judge people by their appearance? I'm going to call your manager and ask, is this the quality of salespersons in department stores?"
Seeing that Gao Ao was furious and wanted to find the manager, the salesperson was frightened and lowered his head and did not dare to speak any more.
Opposite this counter was the watch counter of another brand. A salesperson who looked to be in his mid-twenties, with curly hair, an oval face, and a sexy figure came over and bowed to Gao Ao: "Sir, please calm down.
"Sister Zhang, something disturbing happened at home today. She was in a bad mood and said the wrong thing. Please don't get along with him."
Gao Ao is not the kind of person who is unforgiving, especially when a beautiful beauty comes out to apologize. He has to be a gentleman no matter what. He nodded and said: "Speaking like this is the quality that an excellent salesperson should have. Forget it.
For your sake, let’s just forget about it.”
"Thank you, sir! My name is Zhou Ying. If you come to my counter when buying a watch, I will definitely give you the lowest discount." The beautiful female salesperson bowed to Gao Ao again to thank her, fully demonstrating the relationship between an excellent salesperson and a low-level person.
The difference between quality salespeople.
"OK."
Gao Ao agreed, took Gao Xiaoxi's hand and left the clock area, then walked out of the department store.
If I had 10,000 yuan in my hand now, I would definitely buy a watch without hesitation and humiliate that horse-faced salesman who looks down on others. Money is valuable, but face is priceless. For people who don’t look down on themselves,
It must be slapped hard in the face!
If he had one million in hand now, Gao Ao would definitely take over this counter without hesitation and tell this salesperson who looked down on people through the crack in the door to get out and let him know the truth about not bullying young people into poverty!
Although he was arrogant and unhappy in his heart, Gao Xiaoxi, who had a cheerful personality, did not take this matter to heart. He still happily browsed the scenery on the street, looking at this shop for a while and which shopping mall he was shopping in.
Never get tired of it.
When he saw a McDonald's on the roadside, he proudly pulled Gao Xiaoxi and said, "It's noon, let's go in for dinner."
"Uh... will it be expensive?" Gao Xiaoxi pinched his chin and asked reservedly.
"No, twenty or thirty yuan is enough."
Gao Ao didn't wait for Gao Xiaoxi to say anything, so he pulled her into the store, and then asked her to wait at the seat while he went to the counter and bought two 59 yuan set meals.
Gao Xiaoxi has liked bread-based Western snacks since she was a child, which is why Gao Ao took her into McDonald's. She was drinking Coke, eating chicken legs, and French fries with gusto. Gao Ao didn't like these Western foods too much and ate half of them by himself.
, and gave the rest to my sister.
"I can't eat anymore, you can eat it yourself."
In order to save money, Gao Xiaoxi didn't eat breakfast, and his stomach was half full now. But seeing his brother leaving half for himself, he knew that he wanted him to eat more, so he couldn't bear to grab it and pushed it to his brother.
before.
Gao Ao lowered his face and said: "You can eat if you are told. My brother has a classmate who has his birthday today. I took a share of 100 yuan and went to a restaurant to eat in the evening. Besides, I don't like western food either.
, it will be wasted if you don’t eat it.”
"Okay, then I'll eat it."
After hearing what his brother said, Gao Xiaoxi stopped being polite and pulled Gao Ao's leftover chicken legs and hamburgers in front of him. After a while, he ate them all. He wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, "Growing so big, first of all,
First time eating at McDonald’s, it’s so delicious!”
Although I am arrogant, I don't think McDonald's is delicious, but seeing my sister's satisfied look, I feel proud to be an older brother.
But when Gao Xiaoxi saw the bill that Gao Ao had accidentally lost, he kept nagging distressedly: "So this meal cost more than 100 yuan? What a waste! You can buy one in our hometown for more than 100 yuan."
What a waste of a big cock!"
"Haha, can a big cock taste like McDonald's? Besides, my brother recently received a large bonus. It's okay to be extravagant once in a while. Who knows that you are my sister!" Gao Ao touched the five pieces in his trouser pocket.
One hundred dollars, he said pretentiously.
Gao Xiaoxi believed it and cheered: "Really? Brother is really great!"
He smiled proudly and nodded: "Of course, you don't even know who I am. I'm Gao Xiaoxi's brother."
"Huh, you are making fun of me again. How many scholarships have you given out?" Gao Xiaoxi believed his brother's words. It is not uncommon for universities to give out scholarships these days, so he asked happily.
Gao Ao pretended to be mysterious and said: "Keep it secret, but I can buy you a lovely gift!"
Gao Xiaoxi sighed and said: "I don't want any gifts. In order to give me medical treatment, my family borrowed a lot of debt. My brother will keep the scholarship and study hard. I can use the money I earn to pay off the debt."
Gao Ao comforted his sister and said, "Don't worry, Xiaoxi. My brother will help you pay off your debt in the future. Don't worry."
"Brother, what are you thinking about? Your parents don't allow you to go out to work. In their hearts, they just want you to finish college well. Dad said that even if they sell iron, they won't let you work in a work-study program. That would delay your studies too much.
"Gao Xiaoxi misunderstood Gao Ao's intention and said anxiously.
After listening to Gao Xiaoxi's words, I was so arrogant and ashamed that I wanted to find a mouse hole to crawl into. I was still studying hard, but I was expelled from school. I was still reading a woolen book, but you can't blame me for this. They all have the surname Wu.
