It's still half daylight, but the sun is about to set
Dong Xuebin checked the pair of pink diamonds again and again, carefully placed them in his arms, and quietly left the Central Party School compound.
There is a flower shop diagonally across the road
Dong Xuebin took a look and quickly walked inside
"Hello, sir," a female clerk said with a smile, "What kind of flowers are you looking at?"
"Are there any roses?" Dong Xuebin glanced at him, "Red roses"
"Yes." The female clerk pointed to the corner, "Are you giving it to your girlfriend? How many do you want?"
Dong Xuebin estimated the little money he had and said, "Well, nine hundred and ninety-nine flowers, give me a bag. By the way, how much is one flower?" In the past, Dong Xuebin never asked the price when buying things.
But now, Dong Xuebin has spent all his savings to buy the diamond ring, and he has also borrowed a lot of foreign debts. At this moment, including some small changes taken out from the bank card and the money in the wallet, there is only a little more than 3,000.
Dong Xuebin, who used to spend money without blinking an eye, never imagined that he would be so poor today.
The female clerk replied: "We have one that costs three yuan."
"Three yuan? So expensive?" Dong Xuebin was depressed.
"This is the cheapest season for roses in our store. If it's Valentine's Day or winter, a rose costs more than ten yuan."
"No discount?"
“I can send you a basket for free”
Dong Xuebin waved his hand and said, "Okay, get it for me."
"Nine hundred and ninety-nine? Please wait a moment." The female clerk quickly packaged the roses for him and put all the roses in a large and beautiful basket.
Dong Xuebin looked through his wallet distressedly and paid three thousand yuan.
The weight of nearly a thousand roses was still unclear. He left the flower shop with this big basket in his arms. Dong Xuebin could hardly see the road ahead. He walked forward with a wry smile for a while, looking at the cars driving in front of him.
Dong Xuebin didn't stop the taxi that passed by, because he felt that the more than one hundred yuan in his wallet might not be enough to cover the distance from here to Xie Huilan's home, so he walked a little further and wanted to smoke, but the cigarette failed.
It was already gone. Dong Xuebin walked to a nearby canteen and was about to ask for a pack of Zhonghua, but he swallowed the words. Looking at the cigarettes in the cigarette cabinet, Dong Xuebin only bought a pack of three yuan.
precious
I took two puffs, cough, cough, cough, really choked.
It's okay, who doesn't have enough money?
It wasn't until he passed this section of the road where there were frequent traffic jams that Dong Xuebin reached out to stop the taxi. When the car stopped in front of Sister Xie's house, it was exactly 118 including the fuel surcharge. Dong Xuebin spent his last 120
I handed over ten yuan to s8 and got the change. I only had two yuan in my wallet.
…
Beijing Standing Committee Family Court
In front of Xie's villa
Dong Xuebin stepped forward and hid the roses in an inconspicuous place in the garden, then walked to the door and rang the doorbell.
Ding dong, ding dong
The door opened and it was Xie Hao who said, "Haha, the idol is here."
Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "Can you please stop acting like an old idol?"
"Xiao Bin is here?" Han Jing came out of the room and said with a big smile: "Come in quickly."
Dong Xuebin said hurriedly and embarrassedly: "Hello, aunt, what about that? I came in a bit of a hurry and didn't buy anything. I will definitely make up for it next time."
Han Jing pretended to be unhappy and said: "It's okay if you don't buy anything. Every time you come here, you bring big and small bags. There are fruit supplements and so on at home. If you can't finish them, throw them away. It's a waste. It's better to buy them this way."
Don’t buy anything this time, otherwise your aunt won’t let you in, haha.”
Dong Xuebin is still quite embarrassed. It’s not that he doesn’t want to buy it, but he really has no money.
In the room, besides Xie Huilan, Xie Ran and Xie Jing were also there
Xie Huilan smiled and looked at him, "Let our whole family wait for you alone? Huh?"
"Traffic jam, traffic jam" Dong Xuebin greeted Xie Jing, Xie Ran and the others again
At this time, Xie Guobang, secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, walked slowly down from upstairs. When he saw Dong Xuebin, he smiled lightly and said, "Xiao Dong is here?"
Dong Xuebin, who had just sat down, stood up in a hurry and said respectfully: "Hello, uncle."
"Don't be so formal." Xie Guobang pressed his hands, "Sit down, wash your hands and get ready to eat."
"Ai"
"How was your study at the party school?"
“Very good, it helped me a lot”
"That's good." Xie Guobang nodded, "Recharge more, it will be good for your future work..."
Xie Huilan interrupted with a smile: "Dad, you started to act like an official, and you asked my Xiao Bin not to be restrained. How can Xiao Bin be so restrained like you?"
Xie Guobang pointed at his daughter, smiled and shook his head, "This girl"
Han Jing winked at her husband and said with a smile: "Look at your daughter, how tightly she clings to her man. This is called a girl turning her elbows outward."
Xie Guobang, Xie Jing and Xie Ran both laughed.
Xie Huilan said generously: "Haha, do I have it?"
Xie Hao shouted: "Sister Youtayou, you are just partial. When did you treat me so easily?"
Xie Jing said with a smile: "I have almost lost all my memories of my childhood, but there are a few scenes that I remember very clearly, that is, my eldest sister spanked me and my brother fiercely."
Xie Hao grumbled: "She also beats me too much."
Xie Ran smiled and said, "Sister, she is also doing it for our own good."
"Look, Xiaoran said something fair." Xie Huilan said with a smile: "You still want to settle old scores with me? Okay, then let's talk about it, you, Xiaojing, when you were a child you..."
Xie Jing blushed and said hurriedly: "Stop talking, stop talking, am I wrong?"
"It's good that you know." Xie Huilan turned her head and said, "And you, Xiao Hao, when you were seven or eight years old..."
Xie Hao was anxious, "Damn it, we are settling old scores? You are settling old scores?"
everyone laughed
Han Jing smiled and said: "This time is the fastest thing that has ever passed. At the beginning, you were all just little ones. It seems like it was just yesterday. In the blink of an eye, you are all older. Your eldest sister is about to get married. Think about it.
Come to think of it, it was still fun and cute when you were kids."
Xie Hao shouted: "By the way, sister, when will you get married?"
Xie Guobang suddenly said to his daughter: "Yesterday I went to the old man's place. The old man said that it will be held this month. Your mother and I will arrange the wedding."
Dong Xuebin was excited, and Mr. Xie also agreed?
Xie Huilan smiled and looked at Dong Xuebin, "As I said last time, some people have not shown sincerity in proposing. How can I be so eager to get married? Right?"
Xie Jing giggled, "Brother Dong, my sister is beating you."
Han Jing laughed and scolded: "Girl Huilan, how can you talk like this?"
Suddenly, a news on TV attracted everyone's attention
I heard Xie Hao shout, "Look, look, look!"
On the TV screen, the pair of pink diamonds appeared on the screen again. The host said: "Guardian Auction House has auctioned this pair of pink diamond rings. The result exceeded many people's expectations. The starting price was 80 million.
, the final transaction price of the ring with an estimated price of 200 million yuan was actually 237 million yuan. If commissions and other expenses are included, the final transaction price of this pair of rings was nearly 300 million yuan, which not only set a domestic record
The highest price ever paid for a diamond also set a record for the highest diamond ring auction in the world. It is well-deserved to be the most expensive diamond ring in the world.”
Xie Jing was surprised: "Nearly 300 million? So high?"
Xie Ran smiled bitterly and said: "The rich people in China are not much worse than those in foreign countries."
"Let me go, who bought it?" Xie Hao said: "The estimated value has already exceeded the market value, why is it half higher than the estimated value? Are you crazy?"
Xie Huilan and Han Jing were also staring at the TV
Just listen to the host's voice change, "As far as we know, this pair of sky-high pink diamonds was bought by an unknown young man. Relevant people who participated in the auction told us that the mysterious young man was not there until the auction was almost over.
He just entered the venue, wearing sunglasses, and as soon as he bid for the pink diamond, the mysterious young man increased the price all the way, suppressing many competitors and finally came out on top."
Hearing this, Xie Jing was surprised, "A young man bought it? Such an exaggeration?"
Xie Ran thought for a while, "Maybe the money from my parents was used to get married? Otherwise, I wouldn't have spent so much money to buy two rings."
"No need to ask, I must be getting married," Xie Hao snorted.
Xie Jing said with envy: "How big of a scene would it be to propose with such a sky-high price pink diamond? If it were me, I would be extremely happy, hehe, it's so romantic."
"What's romantic? It's just money." Xie Hao was unconvinced
Xie Jing glanced at him and said, "What do you know? It's not because the ring is expensive, but because the woman thinks that the man is willing to spend money on her and values her, so she feels romantic."
Xie Hao muttered: "Women, it's just too troublesome. What kind of romance? Can they be used as food?"
Han Jing and Xie Huilan both looked at Xie Hao
Xie Hao was startled and said hurriedly: "Auntie, eldest sister, I'm not talking about you two, please don't fight each other." Xie Hao saw that he was about to arouse public anger, so he hurriedly changed the subject, "Sister, what do you want me to do, Brother Dong?"
Propose, tell me, I will give you some advice."
Xie Huilan said with a smile: "Is it still interesting to say it? It seems like I am begging, your eldest sister is not so thick-skinned, haha, let him think for himself."
Xie Hao and Xie Jingxin said you are not thick-skinned? You are the thickest in our family.
But just when the topic had not started, Dong Xuebin suddenly stood up under the gaze of Han Jing and Xie Jing, coughed, walked to Xie Huilan, and said solemnly: "Huilan, there are some
I want to tell you something.”
Xie Hao was stunned and said, "Damn, what's going on?"
"Shh, shh" Xie Jing immediately stopped Xiao Hao
Han Jing and Xie Guobang looked at each other and looked over with a smile.
Everyone can see that Dong Xuebin seems to be proposing, but looking around, Dong Xuebin has not prepared anything, not even flowers. Is this called a proposal? Is this too casual?
Xie Huilan looked up with a smile, "Oh? What are you talking about?" To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.
