Linglong, who was forcibly woken up, didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. She heard something about new clothes and skirts. Before she could react, she followed a group of big sisters downstairs with sleepy eyes.

Seeing a pile of cardboard boxes and a new skirt on the sofa in the living room, Linglong's mind seemed to be stuck.

After she woke up again, she looked up and saw a delicately dressed doll opposite her. She was wearing a white skirt with a bear pattern, and there were a lot of embroidered lace around the skirt, which she had never seen before.

Not only that, Linglong had never seen the shoes, socks, and garland on the doll's head before, except for the pair of white silk gloves on her hands.

But in her day, no one could make gloves from silk.

"Sister, this is..." Linglong was about to ask a question, but suddenly she saw that the person across from her also spoke, and she took a closer look, and found that in front of her was a mirror that was brighter than a bronze mirror, and the doll inside was really herself !
Linglong immediately took a step back in fright.

"How is it, Linglong, do you like it?" Gao Shan asked excitedly, she could see that Linglong still had some discomfort, but this was a normal phenomenon.

Linglong still has a lot of things to accept in this completely strange era, not bad for this novelty dress.

"I like it very much, but sister, this dress..." Linglong lowered her head, hesitated a little, and did not continue.

"What's wrong? Is there something uncomfortable?" Jian Weian asked.

The small leather shoes that go with this skirt are a bit hard, girls may feel a little uncomfortable wearing them for the first time, not to mention that Linglong has never touched leather shoes before.

Jian Weian considered that it might be uncomfortable for her to wear it for the first time.

"It's not sister, it's just that the dress looks so expensive, why don't you go talk to the boss and return it." Linglong finally said it out, which was quite embarrassing for her.

Jian Weian never thought that she was worried about this matter?
Hearing what Linglong said, the girls fell silent.

"This skirt is very soft to the touch. The fabric should be high-quality cotton, and the embroidered lace around it should be handmade, and the gloves are all made of silk. The price is not cheap at first glance." Linglong counted the skirt carefully Here are the other details that moved her heart.

"I came to my sister and you, but I couldn't help you with anything, and it cost you so much money, it's too bad." She lowered her head in embarrassment.

In fact, Linglong didn't come here for nothing, it was Jian Weian who didn't accept her.

Among the novelties that Linglong brought with her when she went down the mountain were some metals that she had accumulated over thousands of years, as well as fossils that she picked up in the mountains.

As soon as she got off the mountain, she handed it over to Jian Weian, saying it was for rent.

Jian Weian smiled and told her that the current currency is a bit different, so these cannot be used to buy things, but those fossils are rare now, and Jian Weian asked her to collect them by herself.

So Linglong always felt that she still owed these big brothers and sisters.

Originally, when Linglong said this question just now, Qi Meili smiled knowingly, and was about to wave her hand and tell her that the dress was okay, it didn't cost much, let alone Xie Xiao paid the bill, they were not in a hurry.

Seeing Xiao Linglong's sad appearance, Qi Meili couldn't even speak a joking tone.

Jian Weian gently pulled her away and smiled and said to her, "Little fool, don't think so much now, we are a family when you live here, and a family should help each other."

She smiled and continued, "Although these skirts are not for daily wear, don't you think she is beautiful?"

Linglong looked at Jian Weian's beauty seriously, "But I just think it's too beautiful, so I can't bear to let my sister spend so much money."

"If you like it, don't refuse it. Accept it now. Girls today have one or two beautiful little skirts, and we Linglong should have one too." Jian Weian helped her tidy up as she said.

Not to mention, before Linglong, she always wore the clothes of their big sisters in the villa, which still didn't fit them to a certain extent.

This time, when the little skirt was put on, it was really delicate like this doll, and it was completely different from when Jian Weian saw her for the first time.

"But sister..." Linglong was still struggling.

"Don't be rude, listen to me, take this as our meeting gift, and you should accept it carefully. As for the repayment, there will be a long time to come." Jian Weian winked at Gao Shan who was next to her.

"That's right." Gao Shan suddenly thought of it as she slapped her thigh.

"Linglong, didn't you say you were going to school yesterday? Then I'll tell you how the current children repay their parents for raising them." Gao Shan said while leading Linglong to the living room.

"Modern society is very different from before. Living conditions are much better than before. People eat well, wear well and use well. Naturally, many things are different."

"The children are still very filial to their parents, but they will use their bodies to warm the beds for their parents as before. In winter, they don't need to be naked. They go to the frozen river to melt the ice, and then fish out the carp." Jian Weian added.

"One of the most common ways they use now is to repay their parents by studying." Qi Meili jumped out and said in time, although she never thought that one day she would come to persuade other children to study hard.

"Reading, but how do you repay your parents by reading? The knowledge you understand after reading is your own." Linglong stared at innocent big eyes.

Jian Weian couldn't help sighing, it would be great if most children could understand this truth now.

"Yes, reading is indeed enriching one's knowledge, but this knowledge can help you find a good job in the future, and if you have a good job, you can make a lot of money. Money is the currency we are popular now. .”

After Jian Weian finished speaking, Linglong realized something, all she could think about now was to earn the currency of this era in return for the kindness of these brothers and sisters around her.

"Then I'll go to study tomorrow!" Linglong thought for a while, raised her fist and said vigorously.

Jian Weian looked at Gao Shan, then at Qi Meili, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled.

"Little fool, it's summer vacation, so it's too early to study?"

"It's still early, when will I be able to study?" Linglong suddenly felt like a deflated ball.

In the following time, the three girls sat in the living room, explaining to Linglong in detail about her long study career in the future.

Linglong almost collapsed when she heard the news that she spent six more years studying hard than the original ten years before she could earn money after entering social work.

And these are just possibilities, and there is another possibility that she may not be able to find a job at all after 16 years of studying.

The chance of this happening is very small, but Jian Weian considers that when Linglong grows up, the society will look different, and many companies may no longer recruit undergraduates.

In that case, it is true that after reading books for 16 years, I still can't find a job.

"Then sister, you should return this dress even more. If I still haven't paid the money after 16 years, what should I do? I don't think you should buy clothes for me in the past few years when I was studying. Well, I'll just wear your old clothes, that's fine too."

Linglong was extremely depressed, her whole body was like an eggplant beaten by frost, and she had a bitter face in a beautiful little dress.

Jian Weian walked forward with a smile, "But we never thought of asking you to repay us from the very beginning, we just told you that there is a method, you can repay us through this method, but now we will buy you a skirt , sending you to study is not to let you earn money to support us after 16 years."

Jian Weian looked at her and said seriously.

"Yes, you are our friend, not our child, and even if it were our child, we would not ask her to do this."

Gao Shan also came to the side, this time she didn't accept Jian Weian's gesture, and she took the initiative to speak.

"In fact, it has been like this since ancient times. The main reason why most parents have children and raise them into adults is because of love. They love this child, so they will pay so much for this child. Their original intention has never been to want Rely on this child to provide for the elderly and end of life."

Qi Meili went on to say, "The reason why most children will take care of their parents when they are old is because they have filial piety and are grateful for their parents' upbringing. This is a beautiful way Morality, but it’s not a hard rule, at least the three people standing in front of you don’t think it’s a rule.”

After Qi Meili finished speaking, both Jian Weian and Gao Shan nodded to Linglong.

In modern society, they think that their pensions are completely self-sufficient, and their children have their own lives, and they don't need to bother. The most important reason is that none of them have children yet.

"Okay, it's getting too far, anyway, Linglong, you just need to remember that we do what we want, you don't have to be burdened, if you really feel sorry, after school, study hard, study hard, and beat the exam That monster." Gao Shan encouraged her.

"When you really become a top student and learn to help those students who are not good at learning, we will feel that you are repaying us."

Every time Jian Weian thinks of the scene when Linglong clenches her fists and says she wants to be a top student, she can't help laughing.

"And this skirt is really beautiful on you. Even if you just wear this skirt and dangle a few times in front of my eyes every day, I think the money spent on this skirt is worth it."

Gao Shan looked at her from a distance, as if admiring a work of art.

She has liked this kind of small skirts a long time ago, but she is the kind of person who only likes to see others wear them and doesn't like to wear them herself, so it's rare to have such a cute model now, don't be a pity.

And after finally tricking her back, how could she return the skirt so easily.

"Okay then, thank the three sisters." After Linglong finished speaking, she slowly relaxed, and she silently remembered what the sisters said to her today.

Although the rules here are far from those of Queen Mother Xi's, she feels more at home here.
