Chapter 4738: Qin and Huo’s Additional Story (68)
Huo Mian looked in Zhixin’s direction and was slightly stunned.
There were three sets of thermal underwear and one that had an old-looking color – dark purple. Huo Mian looked at the size; it was for her mother.
There was another male design that was navy blue. The size was for Zhixin.
At the bottom was a light yellow one, and it was Huo Mian’s size.
Autumn in the north was very short, and sometimes it would start snowing in October.
Everyone who lived in a building had their own heating system, whereas Huo Mian’s apartment had to turn on their own stove.
They would buy some cheap coal, but if the coal wasn’t burned well, it was easy to get carbon monoxide poisoning.
Everyone knew that this thing was not good, but it was the cheapest.
However, even if they burned coal, it would still be freezing in Eastern Jiujiang in winter.
Sometimes, Huo Mian would cover herself with two blankets and sleep in a hot water bag.
Thermal innerwear was too expensive. It might cost three to four thousand yuan to buy three at once.
This sum of money was huge to this family.
The three sets of thermal underwear made Huo Mian feel complicated.
It was obvious that these were not from Jiang Hong. She was not that meticulous.
It seemed like Huo Siqian really bought it himself…
“Wow… we’re going to be blessed this winter. Sis, we have thermal innerwear now, and it’s a branded one…”
Zhixin loved his innerwear so much.
Huo Mian felt some complicated emotions, but she didn’t say anything. She continued to open the packages.
There were actually four jars of milk powder, but they were the kind that teenagers drank.
It contained calcium, iron, zinc, and selenium. It was obvious that it was for students to use.
Every bottle of these health supplements cost more than 300 yuan. Four bottles cost more than a thousand yuan.
They really couldn’t afford it, but Huo Siqian bought it.
“Milk powder… D*mn, this brand is very famous. Many of our classmates are drinking it.” Zhixin sounded even more excited.
“It seems like Jiang Hong is going all out to win us over,” Yang Meirong said coldly.
“No, Mom, Jiang Hong didn’t buy these… She doesn’t have the time to buy us so many things…”
“Oh? Not her? Then…”
“Huo Siqian gave us these. He’s a very meticulous person. He probably is trying to use a small favor to win us over.”
“That child really isn’t simple-minded. He really needs to think before buying these things, not just because he has money. He should pick them one by one.”
At that moment, Huo Mian realized that Huo Siqian wasn’t a simple person.
Zhixin continued to open the box and screamed again.
“Sis, Sis… look, there are two Parker pens… one for you and one for me…”
Even the fountain pen was branded, so Zhixin couldn’t stay calm anymore.
“It’s all yours. I don’t want it.”
“Are you stupid? This thing is very expensive…” Zhixin reminded his sister.
“It doesn’t matter what I use. I’m giving it to you.”
Huo Mian never liked these branded items. After all, it was too weird for a person wearing 10 yuan clothes to use fountain pens that cost 1000 yuan.
She really did not want to humiliate herself.
Finally, Huo Mian saw a shoebox.
It was from Nike.
She opened it and saw that it was a white pair for women. It was the autumn design and she could wear it soon.
It was a simple white shoe with a green Nike logo.
This pair of shoes was a hit this year. Many people from Second High School were wearing it.
It was said to be 1,390 yuan per pair.
It was said that it was very durable, comfortable, airy, and did not cause abrasion.
Huo Mian liked sports shoes. She wore a very small brand that was discounted and only cost 69 yuan.
She had to admit that she liked the color white the moment she saw it.
However, if she wore it, she would find it strange. After all, it was a gift from Huo Siqian.
“Sis… no wonder you gave me the fountain pen, haha, so you have something else.” Zhixin thought Huo Mian already knew beforehand.
“These shoes look really good. Mian, you don’t have many shoes, you should wear these,” her mother encouraged.
