I am reborn and just want to concentrate on my studies - Chapter 173 Shopping【4.3K】
After dinner, it was already evening. Yi Yang said goodbye to Jiang Lili and Wang Sangning, and found a room in a nearby hotel. There were not many popular hotel chains during this period. Those that could open chain stores were basically high-end hotels. Mid-range hotel chains like Home Inn and Hanting Hotel that later became popular were almost blank. Yi Yang found a “Heqing Hotel” and stayed in it simply because the name was very similar to his hometown of Qinghe County.
Jiang Lili said that she would take him for a walk tomorrow.
I probably think of myself as a country bumpkin who has never been to a big city, laugh. Of course, there is nothing wrong with this. In Jiang Lili’s eyes, he has never been out of the county. There is no mobile phone navigation in this era. Coming to a big city like Hanning is no better than a small county. Many teenagers who go from small places to big cities for the first time get lost every year. is not uncommon.
In Yi Yang’s previous life, a country bumpkin from a small county was wandering around in a big city. He had a feel for the city, but in that state, he seemed to be completely unable to feel the changes in the city, because everything was subtle. .
Even now, I feel awesome even if I eat a KFC meal. The first subway line in Hanning City has not yet opened to traffic. There are many villages in the city within the third ring road, and there are vast tracts of wasteland outside the third ring road. Who would have thought that in this era, in just a short period of time, In ten years, will earth-shaking changes take place here? No… there should be a small group of people, people standing at the top of a certain pyramid. Their vision and structure have already foreseen all this. But the vast majority of people don’t know it. They can only wait for the torrent of history to arrive. , and suddenly realized… everything around him had changed.
There was an inexplicable excitement. At this time, he more intuitively understood the role of vision, that is, the vision that can truly grasp the context of the times, draw clear lines from the chaotic information around him, and then outline the future bit by bit. …even though it’s just a vague shape.
He is different from those who are truly at the top of this era. They use limited information to outline what the future will look like. He has experienced it personally, but unfortunately at that time, his vision was blinded by ignorance and he could not see it. The whole picture of the behemoth of the era, with the improvement of today’s cognitive ability, the experience of the previous life, those things that have never been paid attention to before, the information that flashes past in front of the eyes, is now like a fog gradually being cleared in front of the eyes, and it is possible to Gradually it became clearer.
For the time being, he doesn’t know how to use these things, but it doesn’t matter. He believes that it won’t be too long until the day he truly sees it clearly. By then, he will still be one of the people who can best grasp the context of the entire era… .
Thinking of this, I can’t help but pay more attention to the next exam.
He knows something.
Compared with acquiring knowledge, what is more important is vision, the ability to acquire knowledge, and the way of thinking. This should be based on the environment. In the high school in Hanning City, you can be exposed to more and more lofty information. In the high school here, many students have early access to the most cutting-edge things in the country and even the world. This is something that cannot be reflected in scores. At the same time, in a gathering place for outstanding talents, there will be many geniuses like Luo Bing, and there will also be many classmates with good family conditions. The things they have been exposed to since childhood, the way they think about problems, and all kinds of things, they are influenced by what they hear and see, and the impact of these things on people It’s deeper.
Of course, these things will be available in a good university, and they will be more in-depth and comprehensive, but for Yi Yang, the sooner he improves himself, the sooner he can grasp how to use the information gap to create wealth.
Thinking like this, Yi Yang squinted his eyes and fell asleep. He woke up in a daze with sweat on his forehead. He looked at the time and saw that it was only after eight o’clock in the evening. It was still very early. The room was unbearably hot… …forgot to turn on the air conditioner.
He got up and took a hot shower. His naked upper body appeared in the mirror.
Yi Yang stood in front of the mirror and couldn’t help but lift up his short bangs and take a closer look. If history doesn’t change, he will have a scar there next semester…that is, his first year of high school. Now none of this will happen. He smiled. Qinghe County, he really hopes that it will get better and better, because Zhao Yue’e and Xiaochuan in the future will most likely only go to high school there, but he can’t help the people in Qinghe County. education.
Had a great night’s sleep.
The next day, Jiang Lili took Wang Sangning and Yi Yang to the business center first. Most cities have similar business districts, such as Chunxi Road in Chengdu, Wangfujing in BJ, Huaihai Road in Shanghai… Jiufeng Road, the commercial center of Hanning City, is also a first-class shopping district in the country.
Naturally, shopping is required when going to these places. This time, Yi Yang refused to let Jiang Lili pay for anything. Instead, he stubbornly insisted that he must pay the bill this time. Of course, there was money. Jiang Lili knew about the copyright of Yiyang’s songs and also knew that his scholarship had not been cut off since the second year of junior high school. After declining for a while, he agreed. She said: “That’s fine… but don’t pick anything too expensive.”
Yi Yang suddenly became stubborn: “You accept whatever I buy, whether it’s street stall goods worth a dozen yuan or shopping mall goods worth hundreds or thousands, it’s all the same!”
Jiang Lili was stunned for a long time, fearing that Yi Yang would actually spend an amount of money that she couldn’t understand in a rage, so she had to agree.
Wang Sangning blinked curiously next to her, not quite understanding the relationship between Yi Yang and her cousin.
However, this did not affect Wang Sangning’s interest in shopping.
But she goes shopping, it seems, just to walk.
The psychological and physical toll that shopping has on boys is actually not as exaggerated as most people say. In his previous life, Yi Yang had seen some jokes about how girls were not afraid of getting tired when shopping, and how boys would find a stool to sit on as soon as they arrived. In fact, girls are definitely more tired than boys. The inherent disadvantage in physical strength is on the one hand, and high heels are on the other. Before Jiang Lili walked through a pedestrian street, she already said with a pout, “It would be great if the good-looking clothes jumped directly in front of me…”
In comparison, Wang Sangning seemed much more relaxed.
Today, Wang Sangning is wearing a maca brown vest on top, a pair of black sports shorts on the bottom, and a pair of white sneakers on her feet. Her hair is simply tied into a ponytail. She looks unassuming and full of energy. young and energetic.
She was not very interested in the original purpose of shopping. Every time he went to a store, Yi Yang was observing. Jiang Lili would look around very carefully, lift up the skirt, touch the top. When he saw a style he liked, he would ask if there was a size he could wear. , those who are particularly eye-catching will even try it on, but almost without exception they will shake their heads: “Oh, it’s still a little bit interesting…” Wang Sangning is much simpler. Most of the time, she just watches Jiang Lili’s selection, Then he locked his eyes on the stool in the shop and sat down generously under Yi Yang’s gaze.
Most of the time, Jiang Lili was trying on clothes. When she entered the fitting room, Yi Yang and Wang Sangning would naturally chat up a few random words.
“I don’t see you trying on clothes much.”
“Hey, I don’t really like the kind of clothes my cousin likes.”
“Do you like a little more exercise?”
“I can’t say that I am more sporty… I just like to wear things that are comfortable. And the clothes that my cousin likes are not that comfortable to wear. For example, the skirt she was showing off for a long time just now has many buttons on it and they are all on the back. , it’s easy to deduct the wrong row if I’m not careful. It will be very uncomfortable if I don’t do it well, but the process of deducting one by one is also uncomfortable.”
“For another example, her high heels are abrasive to the feet. They are still tiring and uncomfortable when walking in them.”
Yi Yang smiled: “But it looks good.”
“There are many ways to look good. I also like to look good. Do you think it doesn’t look good on me like this?”
Yi Yang was speechless for a moment.
Wang Sangning couldn’t help but laugh.
Jiang Lili came out wearing that dress, walked around in front of the two of them, and asked, “How is it?”
Yi Yang said: “It’s very beautiful.”
Wang Sangning also said: “It looks good.”
Jiang Lili stared at herself in the mirror for a while, then sighed: “You two… I don’t understand, it’s still a bit awkward.” After that, he went in again to change clothes.
Yi Yang asked Wang Sangning: “You said you have practiced martial arts…”
“Yeah.”
“Look, if you teach me, will I still have a chance to become a hero at my age?”
“Huh? You…”
Yi Yang looked at Wang Sangning expectantly.
Wang Sangning looked at Yi Yang seriously and shook his head: “No…”
“Isn’t it possible? Is it true that the golden period of martial arts training has passed?”
“No, I’m not a great hero myself, so how can I teach you?”
“Well……”
Yi Yang asked again: “Can you beat a boy?”
“…”
“To be honest, I have had a kung fu dream since I was a child.”
“Um.”
“So I really want to see it with my own eyes.”
“…”
Yi Yang smiled: “Okay, I’m just kidding.”
Wang Sangning said: “The martial arts I practice are fake moves. I have a little bit of practical ability in Muay Thai and Sanda, but I can’t show it to you.”
After resurrecting his life, Yi Yang maintained a restrained attitude towards most things that had nothing to do with study. He only had great enthusiasm for those hey hey haha fighting games. He had never had the opportunity to contact him before. At this time, there was a practitioner in front of him. Naturally, I wanted to experience it up close. I was a little disappointed when I heard Wang Sangning’s words, so the topic came to an end for the time being.
Then Jiang Lili came out and finally picked out a piece of clothing she was satisfied with. The price was 790 yuan. If she had gone shopping by herself, she would have paid directly without frowning. But if Yi Yang said he paid… she frowned. Mei Mei was about to find a way to exchange it for another one, but Yi Yang quickly tore off the label and said, “I’ll pay for it.”
Jiang Lili was stunned for a moment, and suddenly showed an unhappy expression: “Why did you tear off the label? I haven’t said that I like it yet.”
Yi Yang laughed: “Sister, I think it looks good, so just wear it…”
Jiang Lili was speechless for a moment. The words were stuck in her throat and she couldn’t speak. In the end, she could only flip her hair under Yi Yang’s clear eyes and said, “You little devil.”
Yi Yang paid the money, and Jiang Lili held the packaging bag, complaining verbally, but feeling happy in her heart.
Shopping is naturally very energy-consuming. There are many snacks for sale on the pedestrian street. After shopping for such a long time, Jiang Lili couldn’t help but find a chair to sit down. She gently tapped her calf. Yi Yang said: “You two sit down for a while, and I’ll buy something to eat.” He pointed to the snacks on the street.
After Yi Yang left, Wang Sangning asked Jiang Lili curiously: “Cousin, why do you want to recognize Yi Yang as your younger brother?”
“This…why do you ask this?”
“I’m just curious. Forget it if you don’t tell me. I’m not that curious.”
“He looks like a younger brother.”
“Hmm… Weird reason.”
“By the way, you eat everything except stinky tofu.” Jiang Lili said suddenly.
“Yeah, how come…”
“There is a stinky tofu stall over there. Let’s guess whether he will buy stinky tofu.”
“Well……”
Soon, Yi Yang came over with a marshmallow and a wolf-toothed potato. When Wang Sangning saw this, she pointed at the marshmallow and said, “You are such an old man, why do you still eat such a child’s food…”
Yi Yang coughed lightly and said, “That… I originally planned to give it to you.”
“Oh! That’s great, I love eating marshmallows!”
Uh uh uh?
Yi Yang was still in a daze, but Wang Sangning had already taken the marshmallow in his hand and pointed at the Wolf Tooth Potato: “Is this for my cousin?”
“Yeah…”
Wang Sangning also took the wolf-toothed potatoes and handed them to Jiang Lili. Then she turned to Yi Yang and said, “Thank you, Brother Yi.”
Jiang Lili laughed loudly, and when Wang Sangning handed over the wolf-toothed potatoes, she hit her on the head.
Afterwards, the three of them ate the snacks at hand and continued shopping. Jiang Lili was gradually surprised by Yi Yang’s patience and calmness. To be honest, her performance at this time far exceeded her expectations. She originally thought that Yi Yang, who had never been to such a place before, would be frightened by the prices of the tags in the shopping mall stores. On the other hand, after all, there are many small counties here that do not have It is normal for a boy of this age, whether he is nervous or curious, to express these emotions appropriately…
No, not at all, Yi Yang behaved like a person who often visits here. It was impossible. She had been in contact with Yi Yang for so long, and she knew very well that Yi Yang would not have the opportunity to come into contact with these things. A somewhat scary idea came to mind.
It was his first time coming into contact with this place, but he was not nervous, nor did he show any obvious curiosity. This was a kind of calmness.
Jiang Lili recalled that her mother, as a very powerful business woman, was also like that at the beginning. When she went abroad for an inspection for the first time, everyone around her was so shocked by the scene in front of her that their expressions changed. Only she was thinking calmly. Something that has nothing to do with appearance. Jiang Lili didn’t know how to describe this kind of character, but she clearly saw the characteristics of her mother in Yi Yang… It seemed a bit exaggerated to say this, but it was just a shopping trip, but she laughed, a little Things she wanted to believe, very willing.
Jiang Lili asked: “Yi Yang, is this really your first time coming to Jiufeng Road?”
Yi Yang was slightly startled and nodded.
“Tsk…” The two of them walked to the door of a Nike store, and Jiang Lili said, “I’ll give you a piece of clothing too.”
Yi Yang pointed to Anta next to Nike and said, “I still like that one.”
Wang Sangning glanced at Yi Yang in surprise.
Jiang Lili said: “Want to save money for my sister again?”
Yi Yang snorted: “I just don’t like Nike.”
“Huh?”
Yi Yang didn’t explain, but just walked into the Anta store. He did have the idea to buy himself a set of sportswear.
Jiang Lili glanced at Wang Sangning and said, “There are still people who don’t like Nike as much as you do.”
Wang Sangning said nothing, but looked at Yi Yang curiously again.
