The little dumpling is five and a half years old, which made his father so angry that his head split

Putting everything else aside, the service attitude is completely different.

There was none of the "arrogance" of a state-owned salesperson.

The group entered the mall.

Li Yuanchao had been here before.

Li Tian had witnessed the prosperity of later generations.

Only Li Zilong was almost blinded by the sight.

Even if Li Silin had brought him here when he was a child, he had long forgotten about it.

It's like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden; everything seems new and exciting.

The products sold here are indeed completely different.

Compared to this, a typical department store is practically a farmers' market.

High-quality domestic products, imported goods.

A dazzling array of goods, everything imaginable.

It can be said that all the good things of this era can be found here.

But very few people were actually browsing inside.

Even people with high salaries generally cannot obtain foreign exchange certificates.

Exchanging foreign exchange certificates on the black market is quite risky.

Li Tian, ​​afraid she couldn't see clearly, had Li Yuanchao pick her up.

Everything else is fine, but what will be lacking in later generations?

Li Tian's eyes lit up as she looked at the jade ornaments and jewelry.

Finally, he lay down on a counter and refused to leave no matter what.

What she saw was not jade, but stacks of money.

There are absolutely no counterfeit products here.

Buy one, make one free.

Given their family's status and her age, no one could go to the black market to find bargains, so buying through legitimate channels was the only investment option.

Gold? I dare not even dream of it. It's something strictly controlled by the state and doesn't circulate at all.

Even these jade stones are exported by the country to earn foreign exchange, and they are rarely seen outside the country.

As for the extremely special black market, we won't go into details.

If I can't go, there's no point in saying anything.

Then she had no choice but to find a way to use all the foreign exchange certificates in her household to buy jade.

But that's wishful thinking.

How can a five-year-old child persuade an adult to invest?

Her reborn aunt was focused on scientific research and probably didn't have this kind of ambition.

This is so frustrating!

Li Yuanchao had never seen Li Tian like this before and simply couldn't understand it.

"Honey, you like these things? You're not going to eat or drink them anyway."

"Dad, I want that jade pendant and bracelet."

After looking at them for a while, Li Tian immediately chose these two items.

Hetian jade pendant, jadeite bracelet.

Li Yuanchao was a little confused; he didn't know if other little girls were like this too.

"Dad, I only need these two things this year, and I don't even need my allowance, is that okay?"

"You really like it that much? But you can't wear this bracelet right now?"

Li Tian put on a pitiful expression.

"I love it, I love it so much. I can't eat or sleep if I can't buy it."

Li Yuanchao felt somewhat helpless.

It's not that I'm reluctant to part with it, nor that I can't afford it.

This is the first time I've ever bought these things.

I'll buy it for my five-year-old child.

"Comrade, please take these two items out and let me take a look."

The sales clerk sized up the father and daughter.

First, take out a piece of velvet, unfold it, and lay it on the counter.

The jade pendant was placed on the velvet.

"This is a fragile item, please handle with care."

Li Yuanchao gestured for Li Tian to go and see for himself.

Li Tian took the jade pendant in her hand without leaving the counter.

The jade is delicate and oily, with a warm and soft luster, and is a warm white color without any impurities.

The carving is skillful and smooth, but the design is very simple, just a few bamboo leaves carved in the natural shape.

Li Tian liked it more and more as she looked at it.

Choosing jade is about fate.

"I want it."

The sales clerk looked at Li Yuanchao, and only after seeing him nod did she quote the price.

"This jade pendant is priced at 230 foreign exchange certificates, which is considered a medium to high-grade jade item here."

"Okay, we'll take them."

The sales clerk smiled and nodded, then found the original box in the counter, packaged it, and issued a receipt.

"Auntie, I'd like to see that bracelet too."

The sales clerk followed Li Tian's small hand and pointed to it for confirmation.

"The child has a good eye, but this jade bracelet is top-quality and costs 1,800 foreign exchange certificates."

After the salesperson finished speaking, she looked at Li Yuanchao.

This is a considerable fortune for anyone.

Li Tian clicked her tongue.

It's really shockingly expensive.

But if left for several decades, the price of this bracelet could increase several hundred times, and it wouldn't be difficult to sell it for millions.

Li Yuanchao didn't have that many coupons on him.

Even if you don't buy, you might as well take a look first.

"Could you please show it to us first?"

"Yes, but the item is too valuable. It can only be displayed on the counter for viewing; you cannot pick it up and try it on."

"it is good."

This jade bracelet is as green as a pool of water.

Li Tian was very envious.

She knew that Li Yuanchao didn't have that many foreign exchange certificates with him, so just looking at them was enough.

Even if she brought it with her, it's impossible for me to buy it for her just because she wants it.

It's already quite generous of me to be able to buy her a jade pendant.

"Dad, let's go look at the piano."

Li Yuanchao patted Li Tian lightly, "You haven't paid for your things yet."

I took the ticket from the salesperson and went to the cashier.

Li Tian and Li Zilong stayed where they were and waited.

The cashier wasn't far away; Li Yuanchao could see them as soon as he turned around.

The piano wasn't on this floor, so they took the jade pendant and went up the stairs.

We bought things for Li Tian, ​​but we couldn't neglect Li Zilong.

"Does Zilong want any toys?"

"Uncle, I'm already in elementary school, I don't need toys."

Li Yuanchao thought for a moment and said, "We can't just focus on studying; we also need to exercise. How about we buy a soccer ball?"

"Okay, then I'll take the soccer ball, but I can't play it."

Li Yuanchao chuckled, "I only know how to play basketball, but I can play soccer however I want. I can practice ball control and dribbling even without a field."

"Thank you, Uncle."

Li Yuanchao was very pleased to see his nephew's gradual changes.

His sister can now focus on her work without worry.

After issuing the invoice and making the payment, Li Zilong now had an imported football in his hand.

Eighty yuan in foreign exchange certificates wasn't cheap, but it was still much cheaper than Li Tian's jade pendant.

Li Yuanchao glanced at his watch; it was almost three o'clock, and he still had to take Li Tian to class.

It's the first day of class, so I can't be late.

Li Yuanchao picked up Li Tian and quickened his pace toward the musical instrument area.

"Hello, I would like to inquire about imported pianos."

"Is it for home use or performances?"

"For home use."

What are your requirements for the piano?

Li Yuanchao was a little stunned by the question. He didn't know anything about the piano and didn't have time to ask his mother a few more questions.

"We suggest you hire a professional pianist to determine the piano's specifications before placing an order. We typically require pre-orders, with delivery taking approximately two to three months."

"I see. How much does it cost approximately?"

"Depending on the configuration, it will cost between approximately 15,000 and 30,000."

Li Yuanchao nodded. "Do you have a configuration list here? I'll take it back and find someone to choose from it."

"Yes, please take it."

"Thanks."

Li Yuan folded it up and put it in his pocket.

"Tian Tian, ​​we don't have time to buy you an all-in-one computer today. We have to head to Commander Zhao's house now."

Li Tian was in a good mood after receiving the jade pendant.

"I can't keep that stubborn old man waiting, lest he cause another scene."

Li Yuanchao raised his hand and patted Li Tian, ​​"Don't be disrespectful, that's your master."

Perhaps she went a little too far this time, Li Tian glared back at Li Yuanchao.

"If I get brainwashed by this, you're in big trouble! You'll have to support me for the rest of your life!"
