Chapter 204 [204] This piece of junk, I don’t want it even if it’s given to me!
Seeing Ye Baoguo's surprised expression, Ma Xianglan and Grandma Huang also came over curiously.
"Wow, Xiao Feng, this watch is so beautiful!"
Ma Xianglan subconsciously reached out to touch it.
"What for? Xiao Feng gave this to me."
Ye Baoguo took out the watch and put it on his wrist as if he was protecting his food.
Then, for the first time, a smile appeared on his face.
Ye Feng took the opportunity to take credit, "Grandpa, do you like it?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Baoguo's face fell again, "Humph, your taste is really bad, this watch is too ugly. How much did it cost?"
Ye Feng hesitated a little, "It cost... a few hundred yuan, not expensive."
He was afraid that if he said "20", the old man would faint.
That would be too much joy and then turn into sorrow.
Unexpectedly, when Ye Baoguo heard this, he immediately became angry.
"You have so much money, kid? How much is a broken watch like this worth? I can buy one for a few dozen dollars at temple fairs, and it's much better looking than yours."
Ye Feng broke out in a cold sweat on his back.
Fortunately, I said a few hundred dollars.
If he said he spent 20 yuan, his grandfather would probably give him a beating with a whip and cold water on the spot.
Ma Xianglan also tried to persuade him at this time: "You stubborn old man, it's rare for your grandson to show respect and filial piety, can't you be happy?"
After saying that, he looked at Ye Feng eagerly.
Ye Feng was almost amused by her expression and hurriedly took out another box from his bag, "Grandma, this is for you."
Ma Xianglan hurriedly took the gift box and opened it carefully.
As soon as I opened the outer packaging, I smelled a fragrance coming out of it.
I don’t know what material this wooden box is made of.
It smells so good!
Ma Xianglan then opened the wooden box again.
When she saw the bracelet inside, she immediately covered her mouth in surprise, "What a beautiful bracelet!"
The bracelet is milky white all over, with a delicate texture and dazzling luster.
It makes people feel relaxed and happy at the first sight.
Seeing this, Grandma Huang looked down at the bracelet on her hand.
I finally understand what it means that if you compare yourself to others, you will die, and if you compare goods, you will throw them away.
Compared with the bracelet in this box, the one on my hand looks like something you can buy at a street stall.
She quickly covered it with her sleeves.
Ma Xianglan put the bracelet on her hand and liked it more and more the more she looked at it.
"Xiao Feng, this bracelet is so beautiful. How much did you spend on it?"
Ye Feng had learned his lesson just now, so he naturally didn't dare to quote the actual price. "It's not expensive, just... a little over a thousand, right?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Baoguo, who was standing by, took off his shoes and was about to throw them over.
"You prodigal son, you actually spent more than a thousand dollars on such a shabby bracelet?"
Ye Feng was startled and quickly hid behind his grandmother.
Ma Xianglan hurriedly protected him, but also complained: "Yes, Xiaofeng, your grandfather is right, this is too expensive. Can we return it now? Let's return it quickly."
Ye Feng shook his head. "They said that if there is no quality problem, no refund or exchange will be accepted."
Ma Xianglan was a little anxious, "But this..."
Ye Feng put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Grandma, if you like it, then wear it. If you don't like it... then give it to Grandma Huang."
Hearing this, Ma Xianglan hurriedly covered the bracelet and said, "I like it. I like it very much."
Ye Feng couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.
At the same time, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing my grandparents so happy makes me feel like the money was not wasted.
After that, the old couple had no mood to eat, and just kept admiring the gift given by their grandson. And Grandma Huang, who was standing by, was so disappointed.
In fact, she lied.
That bracelet was not a gift from her grandson at all.
She bought it secretly and pretended to others that it was a gift from her grandson.
Just to save face when saying it out loud.
It makes people feel that she is a loving mother and a filial son, and her family is happy.
In fact, when her son and grandson came back for the Chinese New Year last year, they didn't give her any gifts.
Before leaving, her son even took away her pension money.
He said he wanted to buy a house in the city for his grandson.
Now compared with Ye Feng, her grandson is such a damn grandson.
after eating.
Grandma Huang made an excuse that she had something to do and left in a hurry.
"Xiao Feng, let's go for a walk with grandma."
Ma Xianglan immediately took her grandson's hand and walked out impatiently.
Ye Baoguo also followed.
At this time, there were already quite a few old men and women in the community enjoying the cool in the shade.
When someone saw the old couple coming out, they immediately greeted them.
"Old Ye, you didn't go fishing today?"
"My grandson is back, so I won't go today."
Ye Baoguo deliberately rolled up his sleeves and touched his hair in a pretentious manner.
"Hey, Lao Ye bought a watch? How much did you spend?"
An old man with a white beard noticed his watch and immediately asked.
"My grandson bought it for me. It's not expensive, just a few hundred dollars."
There was a hint of boasting in Ye Baoguo's words.
"Old Ye, you have raised a good grandson."
Everyone praised it.
Ma Xianglan naturally did not want to be left behind, and "accidentally" revealed her bracelet, "My grandson is indeed very filial."
"Oh, I also bought you a bracelet? This bracelet is so beautiful. It must have cost a lot of money, right?"
"It's not expensive, just over a thousand."
Ye Baoguo and Ma Xianglan showed off to everyone unscrupulously.
When Ye Feng saw the old couple's childish behavior, he immediately shook his head and smiled bitterly.
But think about it carefully.
Growing up, it seems that apart from being admitted to Zhonghai University in the college entrance examination, there is nothing else that can make them proud.
They did this to prove something to their neighbors.
My own grandson is no worse than others.
Thinking about it this way, it seems a bit sad.
At this moment, a discordant voice suddenly appeared, "Tsk, what's there to be proud of? I don't even want this junk worth a few hundred dollars."
Ye Feng looked in the direction of the voice.
I saw a very wealthy old man lying in a rocking chair.
She was playing with a bracelet in her hand.
His face was full of disdain.
