Chapter 849: Chapter 849: The Old Master Is Probably Going to Provoke Again
The little guy put his hands on his hips, feeling that these two were whispering behind his back.
Hmph!
The little guy puffed his cheeks and pouted.
These two are always whispering behind his back!
Ye Fei knows the little guy too well.
Just by seeing this, she knows why the little guy is unhappy.
No need for the little guy to say a thing.
Sure enough, Zhao Gushen caught the little guy’s eye.
Both parties were able to understand the little guy’s thoughts with ease.
Zhao Gushen’s lips curled up lightly.
Ye Fei quickly put on a serious look, examining the little guy from head to toe.
"Wow! You’re dressed so handsomely today," Ye Fei said.
Sure enough, the little guy immediately forgot his previous resentment.
He instantly puffed up his little chest.
As the golden grandson of the Zhao Family, how could he have only one set of new clothes for New Year?
During the New Year, aside from the new clothes bought by Ye Fei and Zhao Gushen for the little guy.
The two elders also bought clothes for the little guy.
And Zhao Dinghuan and Chi Jingsi bought clothes for the little guy too.
After all, no elders can afford to lag behind.
How could it be only Zhao Gushen and Ye Fei buying clothes for the little guy?
The little guy should know that his great-grandpa and great-grandma didn’t forget him either!
Thus, the two elders also took the little guy to the mall to pick clothes.
This resulted in another internal competition among the elders.
The two elders vied to pay the bill.
Lao Zhao bought a coat.
The old lady felt that everything left was not as expensive as the coat.
That wasn’t fair.
Thus, the old lady also wanted to buy a coat just as expensive for the little guy.
Initially, the old lady wanted to buy a coat even more expensive than the one Lao Zhao got to one-up him.
But who knew that once Lao Zhao saw, he was immediately upset.
"You’re too cunning! You even want to buy something more expensive than mine! No way, you must purchase one at the same price!" Lao Zhao said, upset.
If it really couldn’t work out, then Lao Zhao would make up the difference with other items like sweaters and pants.
But he was afraid that this sly old lady wouldn’t be honest. If Lao Zhao bought first and the old lady bought after, she would exceed him in price again.
So, Lao Zhao said, "You can buy this if you want, but when it comes to buying sweaters, you have to go first."
Upon hearing this, the old lady immediately saw through Lao Zhao’s plan.
The old lady claimed she wouldn’t fall for it.
"Heh heh! Don’t even think about it! You just want me to go first so you can buy something more expensive later!" the old lady said.
The little guy: "..."
The little guy was anxious, never expecting his great-grandpa and great-grandma to argue over buying him new clothes.
This... it’s a good thing he’s still a child, and a boy at that.
If not, he’d be reduced to that what’s-it-called Red something thing!
Even so, it displayed his status as the golden grandson of the Lao Zhao Family.
Even his dad couldn’t surpass him!
"Great-grandpa, great-grandma, don’t fight over me." The little guy cradled his own chubby cheeks, blushing, and swaying his waist.
Oh dear, having such high popularity is a tiny bit troublesome too!
"I bought first this time, and next time you buy first; it’s fair!" Lao Zhao jumped angrily.
"Oh no! Don’t fight, don’t fight!" The little guy urged, "How about... if not, just buy something priced around the same."
Different clothes, the price is hard to be exactly the same.
"Just a few bucks or even a hundred bucks apart, doesn’t matter." The little guy said, remembering the price of the coat Lao Zhao bought him, immediately adding, "Even a few hundred bucks apart is okay."
Previously, the clothes Ye Fei bought for the little guy weren’t considered luxurious.
There were those that cost tens, hundreds, and even thousands.
But nothing over ten thousand.
This time what Lao Zhao bought was a well-known down jacket brand.
Costing twelve thousand.
The old lady compared the price to this.
The little guy tried several from that brand.
There weren’t so many children’s sizes.
The little guy bought his favorite.
The old lady felt that buying more here wasn’t appropriate.
So, under the reluctant eyes of the store clerk, she went to another equally expensive brand of down jackets.
The styles here were completely different from the previous store, and the old lady let the little guy try on a few.
Seeing each one looked good on him, she wanted to buy them all.
But Lao Zhao was still watching, how could he let the old lady do that?
Thus, the little guy said: "Great-grandma, in just a few months it’ll be warm, and I won’t be able to wear them! This time let’s just buy one, so I can keep getting new clothes forever!"
The old lady begrudgingly agreed.
Finally selecting a jacket approximately the same price as Lao Zhao’s.
Then, the two elders started comparing and buying other things.
Though the little guy felt really happy.
Yet with Lao Zhao and the old lady comparing and buying, the shopping efficiency dropped significantly.
Shopping took an entire day.
Not only were the two elders utterly exhausted,
even the little guy didn’t want to shop again anytime soon.
Truly a painful yet joyful experience.
Of course, this kind of competition didn’t happen to Zhao Dinghuan and Chi Jingsi.
But Zhao Dinghuan thought, Ye Fei and Zhao Gushen bought for the little guy, and even the two elders each got him an outfit.
As grandpa and grandma, they couldn’t fall behind either.
So, they also took the little guy to buy an outfit.
Thus, the little guy had a total of four new outfits for the new year.
He could wear something different each time he went out to visit people for New Year.
What he was wearing today wasn’t the same as what he wore some days ago.
All of which the little guy paired himself.
For his taste in clothes being recognized, the little guy was delighted.
"This coat is from great-grandpa, the sweater from great-grandma, the pants from grandpa, and the shoes from great-grandpa." The little guy introduced his outfit.
Ye Feixin thought if the two elders were around, Lao Zhao would probably provoke the situation once again.
For today’s outfit, Lao Zhao had one more item.
Lao Zhao won.
"Don’t tell great-grandpa and great-grandma about this," Ye Fei hurriedly advised him, "or they’ll probably start fighting again."
The little guy nodded, "I won’t say a thing."
Glancing at the time, it was 2 p.m., time to head out.
So, the three of them quickly left home.
Zhao Gushen drove them to the third elderly gentleman’s residence.
Although the third elderly gentleman was in a wheelchair and had limited mobility, he was still in good spirits.
He was clear-minded as well.
"Usually, Fourth Uncle isn’t here. Third Grandpa has his own caretaker and an assigned maid and bodyguard from the family."
So there’s no need to hire someone unknown from outside.
Preventing people from taking advantage of the elderly third gentleman’s age and limited mobility to embezzle.
In fact, whether working in the old house or at the third elderly gentleman’s place.
One would never suffer loss.
Without needing to covet anything, one earns quite a bit.
