87 Must You Wear The Few Catties Of Gold Ornaments Out?
“Your mother must be jealous!” Father Luo was very sure of his judgment.
They had been husband and wife for many years after all. With just a look from his wife, Father Luo could immediately read both the surface and deep meaning. He could also resolve it perfectly before his wife got angry.
He continued to a.n.a.lyze, “Listen carefully to the pattern of the bowl’s collision. Isn’t it rough with a hint of caution? The volume of this sound is just enough to express your anger. Let us hear the anomaly without causing any harm to the bowl itself!”
Luo Feng didn’t understand, but he felt that it was awesome. He nodded blankly. “So that’s what it means.”
Father Luo said confidently, “Your mother must be jealous of me. You bought me such a big gift but she didn’t have anything. It must be a little unfair. Speaking of which, have you prepared something for your mother?”
Father Luo estimated that Luo Feng had spent most of his money on a 200,000 yuan car. On one hand, he was a little happy about his son’s preference, but on the other hand, he was worried that his wife would be sad.
Hence, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet. “Do you have no money? I’ll sponsor you.”
Luo Feng said suspiciously, “Don’t you give all your money to Mom every month? Where did you get the money?”
“All mature men have a small stash. Don’t tell your mother.” Mr. Luo lowered his voice and said mysteriously.
How could Luo Feng bear to use the money his father dug out from between his teeth? “Forget it, keep the money. The gift I bought will be here soon.”
Father Luo looked out of the window suspiciously. It was already dark. Other than Santa Claus, who else would send gifts to his door at night?
…
In the kitchen.
Mother Luo faced the bowls in the sink and reached into the water like she was practicing Iron Palm. She stirred the bowls and chopsticks that were soaked in water as if she had a grudge against the bowls.
“Little brat, you don’t think about me at all!” Mother Luo muttered like a pufferfish, her stomach filled with anger.
She was originally very happy, thinking that she would be able to drive to work tomorrow. She could already imagine the envious gazes of her sisters who were dancing square dance together.
However, Mother Luo came back to her senses after dinner, when she cleared the table and saw father and son chatting and watching television.
Why weren’t there any gifts for her?!
Not only that, but she also had to serve the two of them. Was it easy for her? There should at least be some show of appreciation even if she didn’t say anything. It wasn’t like she wanted something that was worth hundreds of thousands!
She doted on this son for nothing!
The more Mother Luo thought about it, the angrier she became. She stirred the bowl even harder, almost catching up to the washing machine.
Ding dong—
At this moment, the doorbell rang.
Luo Feng was the first to run to the door. When he opened the door, he saw a man and a woman. They were dressed appropriately in business attire and were smiling at Luo Feng.
“h.e.l.lo, are you Mr. Luo Feng?” The woman’s voice was very gentle.
“I am.”
“h.e.l.lo, this is the set you have customized. Please check it.” The woman handed over the red paper bag with both hands. The golden auspicious bag looked very high-end.
Luo Feng weighed it. “No need. I trust your shop.”
“Thank you for your trust, please sign over.” The woman took out a signed receipt from Long Feng Xiang Jewelry. After Luo Feng signed it, the two of them bowed 90 degrees. “Thank you for patronizing us. I wish you a happy life. Goodbye.”
Luo Feng really liked their efficient and capable methods. It really saved him a lot of trouble.
After sending the two of them off, he turned with the bag and saw Mother Luo sticking her head out of the kitchen. Mother Luo glared at him resentfully as soon as their eyes met before returning to the kitchen.
When Father Luo saw this, he smiled helplessly.
Luo Feng carried the bag into the kitchen and said, “Mom, let me show you something.”
Mother Luo was delighted, but she did not want to make it so obvious. She continued to wash her bowl and pretended not to hear.
“Mom, you really don’t want to take a look?” Luo Feng smiled.
“What’s there to see?” Mother Luo snapped. “Don’t block me here. Get out, get out.”
Luo Feng opened the box seeing how proud his mother was.
Mother Luo Luo felt a golden light behind her, as if she had entered the world of Buddha. Then, a two-finger-wide bracelet rolled to her feet.
“Ah!” Mother Luo screamed in shock. She was even more excited than when she saw the Buddha appear.
“I didn’t expect it to be so heavy. I didn’t hold it properly.” Luo Feng apologized as he picked it up. This custom-made thing was a little heavy, so he didn’t hold it properly.
“Son, get out of the way. Let me do this kind of tiring work!”
Mother Luo quickly wiped the water off her hands and picked up the big golden bracelet. The weight almost made her cry.
“How heavy is this bracelet?” Mother Luo asked.
“About one catty.” Luo Feng replied.
“It’s very expensive now, right? How much is a gram?”
“It’s pure gold. I didn’t bargain since there was a discount the more I bought.”
Mother Luo held the bracelet and checked repeatedly to see if it was broken or scratched.
She had to bargain for half an hour to buy a catty of vegetables, but her son actually bought a catty of gold without bargaining! She pinched the meat on her face hard to confirm that she was not dreaming.
Luo Feng picked up the other gold jewelry that fell, taking advantage of the time his mother took to cherish the bracelet.
The earrings, necklace, ring, pendant, and bracelet were all custom-made into one set.
Luo Feng knew that his mother was a practical person, so the amount of gold he gave her was also worth their weight. The value of this set of gold jewelry as a collection was far more valuable than wearing it out because it was a little heavy.
“Mom, this is for you. You’ve worked hard all these years,” smiled Luo Feng.
Mother Luo felt a lump in her throat, but she suddenly remembered that this was not the time to cry. She rushed into the living room with the box and showed her new gift to her husband.
Luo Feng smiled helplessly and walked out of the kitchen. “Mom, these things are a little heavy, especially the earrings. Your ears might not be able to withstand it, you…”
The golden light shining from her body almost blinded Luo Feng’s eyes before he even finished speaking. She used her actions to tell him that his mother was omnipotent!
She really hung a few catties of gold on herself!
“Xiao Tian, let’s go to the park to square dance tomorrow?”
“Aiya, Little Li, are you free tomorrow night to come to the park for a gathering?”
“Shanshan, we haven’t seen each other in a long time. Let’s go shopping in the park tomorrow. Hahaha, it’s settled, yeah?”
Mother Luo was wearing gold jewelry while calling her friends and could not stop being so happy.
Luo Feng could hear the sound of cars starting up outside every morning at 6:30 am sharp, from then on.
Mr. and Mrs. Luo went to work at nine o’clock. The journey to work only took 20 minutes but the two of them had to drive around for more than an hour. When they saw familiar faces across the street, they had to go up and greet them.
Luo Mu went out to plaza dance at 6pm sharp, and she had to be fully armed. Five layers of gold accessories was not a small number. Luo Feng felt tired just looking at it.
Was she going out to square dance or to carry weights for training?
Over the next few days, Luo Feng was surprised to discover that his mother’s stubborn weight had actually dropped by a few catties!
“Mom, isn’t your amount of exercise a little too much?” Luo Feng’s heart ached.
Mother Luo was exceptionally persistent. “I’ve lost a few catties. I would be blown away by the wind if I don’t use gold to suppress my weight!”
Luo Feng was speechless. Well, whatever, as long as his mother was happy.
