Chapter 166 Return gift
"This is American money." Liu Fengzhi asked her son.
"Yes, the face value of 100 Mi Yuan." Li Kai repeatedly looked at the banknotes and answered affirmatively.
Li Kai had met Mi Yuan, not only Mi Yuan, but also Brittany and Ying Yuan. They were all seen in An Jianjun in his previous life. An Jianjun has a hobby of collecting currencies from various countries.
"Look at this avatar," Li Kai pointed to the avatar on the front of the banknote, "This kid is called Franklin, he is a famous political hooligan in the United States." He turned the banknotes over again, "This is the Philadelphia Independence Hall in the United States, and it was the place where the United States brags about the early days of its founding."
"Jing Wu said," Liu Fengzhi slapped Li Kai on the arm and snatched the banknotes, "What should I do?"
"What's wrong? Are you afraid you can't spend it? It doesn't matter. You can exchange it for RMB by going to the bank, and the bank is happy."
In the 1990s, China had insufficient foreign exchange reserves, so if you exchange Mi Yuan for RMB, the bank would be crazy. On the contrary, if you exchange RMB for Mi Yuan, it would be hard, and you should not even think about it without connections.
This is also the reason why foreign exchange exchange exists on the black market, because black market exchange does not require the signature of the leader.
"There are 2,000 meters in total. Your father said it is equivalent to more than 20,000 yuan. He also gave you a watch with diamonds. Your father said he would like to ask for tens of thousands of meters in total. How can we pay the gift?" Liu Fengzhi said worriedly.
Li Kai was stunned. Is there any other statement? He has never paid attention to this detail when he was a human being in his two lives.
"Do you have to give me a gift?"
"Of course, this is the minimum etiquette." Liu Fengzhi answered affirmatively.
In my previous life, Li Kai didn’t have to worry about this kind of thing when I was a child. After adulthood, everyone seemed to be not very particular about this. If you have a good relationship, you will accept it for grants. If you have ordinary relationships, you won’t accept gifts, for fear that the other party will ask for something.
"I'm thinking, what's worth in the bank safe, think about which thing is about the same value. I'll take it out tomorrow morning and give it to your uncle when I meet him, and say... a gift for his children." Li Yan interrupted, remembered something again, and asked Liu Fengzhi, "Wife, we just forgot to ask, how many children in the Old Su family? Boys or girls? How old are they?"
"I didn't ask," Liu Fengzhi recalled, "Just just listen to you two talking about the past, or he would just talk to his son."
"Old Su is a little older than us. The United States does not need family planning. I guess there are at least two children." Li Yan suggested, "Just give that pair of jade bracelets. Two bracelets are easy to divide. If there are two children, one will be one for each person."
Li Kai sucked his teeth. The green glass jade bracelet is hard to say now. Jade has not become popular yet, but if you wait for more than ten years, you will not be able to buy it for hundreds of thousands of dollars, and it is just one.
But it doesn't matter. Things are just used and cannot be counted on the value.
So he made up that Li Yan would go to the bank tomorrow morning.
"Hey, hey, mom, what are you doing?" After the talk, Liu Fengzhi grabbed Li Kai's arm and took the "Rolex" on it.
"What are you doing? You are a junior high school student, why are you wearing such a good watch? What if you fall, rub it or fall? What should you do? Mom will help you keep it first."
Li Kai had no choice but to let Liu Fengzhi take off his watch.
Liu Fengzhi held the "Rolex" in her hand, looked at it carefully, vented her breath from time to time, and wiped it with the paper drawn from the coffee table.
After wiping for a while, he handed the watch to Li Yan, "Give it, go to the bank tomorrow and put this in the safe."
Li Yan quickly took it and wrapped it in more than a dozen pieces of paper before putting it in the drawer.
"Mom, let Dad put these in the safe." Chang Dalong handed the remaining money to Liu Fengzhi.
"This...you keep it, this is given to you by my uncle."
"You give me pocket money every month, and I can't use it. Besides, this is American money and I can't spend it."
"Then... then Mom will exchange it for you for RMB, and Mom will give you a note and save it yourself."
"Mom, it's really no need. With you here, I can't spend money at all. Keep it all. Dad's business will be big in the future, and maybe I can use it."
"Then... OK, mom will keep it for you first. When will you use it and when will you tell me?" Liu Fengzhi took the banknotes, turned to stare at Li Kai, "Look at your brother, you are so embarrassed to be the eldest brother."
Li Kai blinked aggrievedly, "What did I say? I didn't say anything."
"Your expression is wrong."
Li Kai twisted his chin helplessly, and then a big smile appeared.
...
"Who is this old Su? Have I seen that educated youth?" Liu Fengzhi turned her head and asked her husband.
"I've seen it before." Li Yan lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling.
"That's true?"
"Well, do you remember Su Yumo whom I took you to worship for the sacrifice shortly after we got married?"
"Remember, it's your godsister who was bullied and unable to bear the humiliation and committed suicide by jumping into the river?"
"Well, Lao Su is Yu Mo's brother."
"Oh, what a pity. That bad guy was stung to death by a wild bee later. Humph, he got a bargain."
"It's a cheaper one."
"Why did she recognize you as her fucking brother? Uncle Wu said that she liked to follow you when she came to Banshantun. She wouldn't have liked you at that time." Liu Fengzhi looked at Li Yan with a smile.
"Don't talk nonsense, that is, you can fall in love with me, who else would be so blind?"
"You are blind, you are blind." Liu Fengzhi beat Li Yan's arm with her fist in discontent.
Li Yan smiled and hid.
"What kind of girl is Xiao Su?" Liu Fengzhi stopped "attacking" and asked Li Yan.
"She is very lively. She comes from the capital to the countryside and doesn't dislike her and is willing to endure hardships."
"What else?"
"I like to laugh very much. It is because she loves to laugh that I promised to be her brother, hoping to protect her so that she can keep a smile."
"Then her smile must be very beautiful." Liu Fengzhi felt a little awkward.
"It doesn't matter whether you are beautiful or not. In that era, if you can laugh, you can infect many people."
"Why?"
"Because... hungry." Li Yan thought for a while before giving the answer.
"What's the meaning?"
"... Have you ever eaten coarse grains?"
"Of course, when we first got married, didn't we eat coarse grains every day?"
"It's not that kind of coarse grain, it's real coarse grain."
"Real coarse grain?"
"For example, stick noodles."
"I've eaten the kangzi noodles."
"You haven't eaten it before. The stick noodles you eat now are all broken corn kernels. What we did at that time were not."
Liu Fengzhi listened quietly.
"In the past six years, the whole corn noodles we ate were dried and then smashed, including corn kernels, corn kernels, corn squids and even corn skins. That was the real coarse grain."
"How do you eat it?" Liu Fengzhi couldn't help swallowing her saliva, feeling uncomfortable with dryness and itchy throat.
"This is when the grain harvest was improved later. During the three-year disaster, the coarse grains were only two meals a day, but they were still made into a mud."
"ah?"
Liu Fengzhi felt incredible. She was not a rich girl, but when Liu Fengzhi's father was alive, he was a sixth-level worker in the factory, with a monthly salary of more than 60 yuan. This figure is only a few people who can earn in a cement factory with 300 people. It was absolutely high salary. At that time, a pound of meat was only more than 20 cents.
Before the birth of her younger brother and sister, Liu Fengzhi also had her own "snack basket", which contained peach crisps, cakes and candy, and she could eat them casually. So she had never seen the food she mentioned before, let alone eaten.
"At that time, everyone was thinking about eating all day long. When the green and yellow were not connected, the bark could be cleaned. So don't talk about laughing, you didn't even have the strength to laugh." Li Yan continued.
"Yu Mo loves to laugh very much. Even if she is not full and is tired of working, she always smiles. When I hear her laughter, I feel that life is still beautiful and will get better and better."
Liu Fengzhi held Li Yan's arm, and there seemed to be a little girl with big eyes in front of her, shaking her two braids, and laughing carefreely.
"Also, she is very eccentric. She likes to give nicknames and play tricks on people. At that time, they called me "thermometer" and said I..."
...
The next day, Li Yan had breakfast in a convenience store and was about to drive to the bank. When he left the store, he saw Su Bolin's "Crown" coming.
"Mr. Li." Xiao Taige got off the car and greeted Li Yan.
"Hello," Li Yan looked in the car, and there was no one else except the driver. "Where is Lao Su, why don't you go there by yourself, right? I'll go to the bank and I'll go there right away." Li Yan said as he was about to drive.
Li Yan wanted to use a car today, but he didn't want to delay his wife's work, so he greeted Qiao Xiangdong yesterday and used a car for another day.
"Mr. Li, don't worry, the chairman rushed to the Capital Airport in the morning. He asked me to tell you that he has returned to the United States and needs to discuss with his family if he has something to do. I will talk about it when he comes back."
"Oh, when will he be back?" Li Yan's spirit suddenly relaxed.
"The chairman said that it was up to five days."
"Okay, I'll wait for him to come back. Xiao Xiaoer, ask you something, how many children do you have in your chairman's house?"
"The chairman's family? The chairman has no children yet."
