Hank also opened his mouth wide and looked at the stack of banknotes.
Then he laughed: "You are so beautiful. I mean, if you become a star, you will be very popular!"
"It's just..." His eyes turned around Lin An's body, and he coughed in embarrassment: "You are too young, I, cough, I mean, everyone likes something more sexy - sexy, do you understand?
?Blonde girl with blue eyes and long legs..."
He gestured with his hand in front of his chest.
Lin An:……
"Okay," she pretended to take away the 200 pounds: "It seems that I can't be a big star, so naturally I don't need an agent."
"What a pity. I still have a lot of letters that I need you to collect on my behalf."
"No!"
Hank quickly got the money back, and his joy was obvious.
After all, how much does he earn as a postman for a month?
Although I was still a little embarrassed to take the money - after all, Lin an was really poor.
But since she said that, for some reason, Hank felt that he shouldn't refuse.
The two looked at each other, and then laughed together. Hank's previous restraint and identity seemed to have disappeared, and now he was holding the pile of gifts with bright eyes:
"So... do you want to take it apart and take a look?"
"Of course!" Lin An generously gave him this right: "You can dismantle it."
She had to take the time to read all these replies and then pinpoint the content that each tabloid needed - after all, she had written a lot of articles at Hogwarts.
This is currently my only source of income.
"Am I really coming?"
Hank was a little surprised.
"certainly."
Lin An raised his eyebrows and saw that he was as happy as a child, and then carefully untied the top satin ribbon.
He opened it and took a look, then his face dropped again——
"This is for you girls."
It was a complete set of makeup samples, from a compact eyebrow pencil and eye shadow box to an extremely delicate lipstick, even mascara and eyeliner, as well as a very compact small box of foundation or concealer.
Lin An was quite pleasantly surprised.
She is only 11 years old now, so naturally she has no interest in makeup, but many girls in the school would like it, so it would be a great way to make friends.
Open another box - this is a long and slender box.
When Hank opened it and took a look, he couldn't help but his face dropped again.
All right……
"It's still for you girls."
It was a set of perfume samples. The bottles were extremely delicate, each containing only 5 ml.
Hank casually pulled off the lid, and a fragrant aroma came to his nostrils, making him sigh sadly.
The third box is obviously much smaller. It is a model airplane that does not require batteries or mechanical springs and can glide in the air just by throwing it out.
But for Hank - too childish.
He worked hard to dismantle the fourth one - well, it went even further.
This is a set of hairpins inlaid with sparkling zircon stones.
At this time, even Lin An couldn't help but feel happy.
She opened the stack of [Metor Metro News] and found a line of small words under the Sudoku page——
[This issue is sponsored by Daisy Beauty Company]
For three consecutive issues, they were all sponsored by this beauty company. Only the model airplane was sponsored by a company called Lebao Toys Company.
"All right."
Hank saw it too.
He didn't even want to open the last gift box and handed it directly to Lin An.
"Perhaps... you will have better luck?"
Lin An couldn't help laughing, and then tore open the gift box——
"Wow."
Lin An was pleasantly surprised - these were two volumes of "Transformers" comics.
The surprise was not because of the comic, but because she had thought of the gift she wanted to give!
And when she opened the back of the comic, she saw it said [Published on September 14, 1991, first issued]
!!!
It’s actually the same batch that was published for the first time!
Hank came closer and became a little interested in the sturdy giant robot above:
"What's this?"
"Transformed Autobots." Lin An accurately summed it up.
Hank's attention was quickly diverted——
"I also want to buy a car. You know, this place is too remote, and it would be much more convenient to have a car. But until now, I haven't saved enough money, and the bank loan is not willing to give me enough money. But..."
He waved the 200 pounds that Lin An had just given:
"If you can write more, I should be able to make the down payment by this time next year!"
Cars in the UK are not expensive. If he buys a classic car, Hank's own savings are indeed enough for the down payment.
Of course, if his mother is willing to sponsor a little bit, maybe the full amount can be paid.
Lin An then laughed: "Congratulations then. If you have a car next time, can you take me where I want to go during vacation?"
"certainly!"
Hank raised his brows proudly, with confidence written on every freckle: "At your service, ma'am."
The two laughed happily.
However, with only three days of vacation, Lin An couldn't linger here much. She even only hurriedly took two pieces of bread, and then pretended to "take out" a gift box from her backpack.
To be precise, it is something that enlarges or shrinks during the process of holding it.
"Christmas gift! A specialty of our school!"
Bibi's multi-flavor beans and a bottle of Magic Cleanser.
Hank was pleasantly surprised, but he immediately scratched his head in embarrassment:
"Sorry, I...I..."
He didn't expect Lin An to come back, so naturally he didn't prepare any Christmas gifts.
But after thinking about it, he finally rushed into the room and took out a basketball: "I hope you don't dislike it! I found this at the flea market, and it has the signature of my favorite star on it!"
As for whose signature, Hank didn't say, and Lin An couldn't recognize it. She just accepted it happily.
The cold wind is blowing and the road has begun to freeze. Is it time for Lin An to go?
Hank sent her to the station door: "There will be a bus back to the city in about 10 minutes. I'll accompany you."
Please do not!!
Lin An quickly refused, fearing that Hank would have his own way, so she said, "Maybe... you need to tidy up the room before your mother comes back?"
She didn't believe that her mother, who loved life and keeping things tidy so much, would tolerate such a sloppy son like Hank.
As expected, Hank jumped up: "Oh damn I forgot!"
He even had time to wave hastily before rushing back without looking back.
As soon as the person left, Lin An breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at the basketball in the net bag in her hand. With a move of her fingertips, the basketball, which was as big as a marble, was stuffed into her bag.
Then, she stretched out her index finger and tapped it lightly in the air.
The next moment, the magic quickly spread to unknown distances.
And at the end of the road, an old red bus seemed to have emerged from an unknown cave, rushing all the way to Lin An.
Rowling's price system and the circulation of pounds in the wizarding world are a complete mess...
Mr. Weasley (civil servant) gets 65 galleons a month, which is calculated as 325 pounds.
But in 1990, the average monthly salary in London was 2,000 pounds, which is 4,000 galleons.
Even if we can only look at things like average wages, the gap is still huge.
So... the price of this book should follow the magic world as much as possible.
