Chapter 195: Chapter 195: A big gift giveaway
If Feng Yiping were still to be controlled by his parents every day, he would also be annoyed, but he really missed them after not seeing them for so long, and he laughed as he pushed the luggage cart and trotted over.
Feng Zhenchang was still not used to showing intimacy in crowded places, and he lifted the suitcase from the cart, 'Let's go, we'll talk outside.'
Mei Qiuping took her son's hand and looked around as they walked, 'You've grown taller again.'
Feng Yuxuan chimed in, "Mom, you're always worrying about this. Your brother has been in such a good place for such a long time, eating well, drinking well, having fun, and of course growing well. Say, what gifts did you bring us?'
She took the backpack off Feng Yiping's back and looked around inside, "Why are there just books?'
'He's still a student, of course he needs to read.' Mei Qiuping was very happy to see that her son's bag was full of books.
To be honest, apart from books on finance, there were also textbooks. After all, Feng Yiping was still a student. He himself felt that it didn't matter even if his grades were a little poor, but if he suddenly dropped to the bottom ten in the class, his parents definitely wouldn't be able to accept it.
Nowadays, there are many people who hold them up, but there are definitely many people waiting to laugh at them behind their backs. If Feng Yiping's grades really drop, I think a lot of people will be happy.
So, for the sake of his parents, he has to try hard to be a good boy who studies hard.
'You didn't bring anything?' Feng Yuxuan looked depressed. These days, it's not easy to go to Hong Kong.
'Yes, it's all in the suitcase.'
So Feng Yuxuan couldn't wait to open the suitcase right now.
When they got home, she couldn't wait to open the huge suitcase. 'Haha, cosmetics, these are mine! Wow, there are clothes too,' she took out a beige trench coat from the paper bag, 'no one will fight over this one.'
Actually, it was originally sold to her aunt, who was thinner and taller than her sister and would look better in it, but what could she say now?
Feng Yiping rummaged around and found two boxes. 'Dad, there are two mobile phones here, one for you and one for your younger sister. Take a look and see which one you like better.'
The two phones, an Ericsson 388 and a Motorola GC87C that had just been released, were not cheap. Even if they were bought in Hong Kong, they would cost more than 10,000 yuan.
In an era when people still used big mobile phones on the street, mobile phones were a rare commodity. Feng Zhenchang took the two boxes and smiled, but said, 'They must not be cheap. What's the point of spending this kind of money?'
His mother and sister also came over to see the novelty. Feng Yuxuan said, 'It's much smaller than those big bricks those people are holding. I've only seen a few people use such a small mobile phone.'
Mei Qiuping took the silver-grey mobile phone from Feng Zhenchang and said, "Let me see. Your son bought it for you. You're really blessed!" She seemed a little jealous.
Feng Zhenchang laughed, looking at the manual. Feng Yuxuan held onto the other one and wouldn't let go, 'Can I have this one, please!'
'You want everything,' said Mei Qiuping, and gave her a sharp slap. "You're always in the shop, what do you need a mobile phone for? Is it inconvenient to make calls next to the counter? Your father and brother-in-law are out and about, they can use this. Give it to me.'
'Oh," said Feng Yuxuan, reluctantly handing the box to her mother.
'It's fine, mobile phones are updated quickly, there will be better and cheaper ones next year,' Feng Yiping said, looking at his sister and feeling a little amused.
'Next year!' Feng Yuxuan was still a little glum.
'Okay, you better put those things away quickly, because your aunt and uncle and the others should be here soon,' Mei Qiuping reminded her.
'Yes, I have to pick them up, or else my aunt will fight with me for them,' Feng Yuxuan hurriedly went to pick up the things that she had spread all over the floor.
'Oh, there's also a watch for each person,' Feng Yiping took out five small boxes with exquisite packaging from a tightly sealed package.
He had to make up his mind to buy these watches, too. They were not top-of-the-line, of course, but they were all basic entry-level models, and they cost him quite a few US dollars.
However, because of the current market downturn, and because he was very much in the spirit of the nouveau riche Mainland Chinese tourists shopping in Hong Kong, buying so many watches at once, the watch shop gave him a discount to seal the deal, which was a pleasant surprise.
As for his own watch, he was already wearing it, but he had chosen an Omega.
He took out the three ladies' watches and let his mother and sister choose. "This one is not cheap either, but it won't lose value and may even appreciate in the future.'
He had wanted to say something about taking care of it, but was afraid that if his mother heard that she would be reluctant to wear it and would just keep it in a drawer.
'You child, you child really..." Mei Qiuping looked at the delicate little boxes, especially thinking that two of them were for her brother and his wife, and felt a little heartache. 'You can't spend money like that even if you have some!'
Feng Yiping could tell from the look on her mother's face that she hadn't bought them in the mainland. If she had, she would have travelled there by whatever means possible to return them.
Feng Zhenchang was still looking at the phone instructions. 'Hurry up, pick one. You didn't even get a watch when you got married, but now you've got a foreign brand. 'She didn't know which country it was from.
'Switzerland. It's famous for its gold watches. Brother, why are you so stingy? You didn't even buy a gold watch.' Feng Yuxuan took the items into the room and put on the remaining two women's watches, one in each hand, looking left and right.
'You are just too picky,' Mei Qiuping said to her. 'If you don't want them, then give them to me, I'll sell them.'
'Of course I want it, I've already bought it. It's also a token of my brother's affection. Thank you!' She said to Feng Yiping, "Which one do you think is better?" She waved her hands.
'They're both pretty much the same. It depends on what you like!' They were indeed similar, with little difference in style.
But she didn't dwell on it for long. Soon after, her brother and sister-in-law arrived and asked Feng Yuping a few questions. Her sister-in-law heard that one of the watches was hers and snatched it up. 'Are there any other things?'
'No, they're all here,' Feng Yuxuan said.
'I don't believe you,' Cai Hong said as she walked towards Feng Yuxuan's room. After getting married and having children, she still had the same temperament as she did when she was a girl.
'Really not!' Feng Yuxuan hurriedly followed her.
Feng Zhenchang's younger brother was also playing with his new watch and mobile phone. "Brother, I'll go and help you with the formalities and choose a number tomorrow.'
'No need, I'll go myself." Feng Zhenchang had already charged the phone and was familiarising himself with the functions by referring to the manual.
'I heard that the network access fee is one or two thousand yuan, and choosing a number also costs thousands of yuan,' Mei Yiliang said with a smile.
'Really?' Feng Zhenchang finally took his eyes off the phone.
'Really,' Mei Yiliang nods affirmatively.
'Then you go and help me with the paperwork, and choose a better number!'
'Haha!' Both laugh.
Feng Yiping and his mother are teasing their little cousin, who can't yet walk, 'Little baby, do you know who I am?'
The chubby little guy sits on the sofa, babbling a few words, and then climbs over to the boxes, takes a piece of paper out of one and shoves it in his mouth. The others quickly grab it away from him, 'You can't eat that.'
Auntie Feng came out of Feng Yuxuan's room, clutching a few small bottles in her hands. Feng Yuxuan was pulling at her behind her, saying, 'Auntie, it's not a set without these two items, so give them back to me!'
'That's what I was thinking, so give me the rest of those as well!'
Feng Yiping looked at the happy family and was very happy too. There's a saying that goes, in fact, making money doesn't make you happy, spending money can make you happy.
