Chapter 43: Major Shopping Spree

“Tang Feng, what do you think of this mobile phone?” Su Xiaoli asked with a smile.

“I think it’s not bad. If you like it, then let’s buy it,” Tang Feng answered.

“Then I’ll take this one,” Su Xiaoli decided on the spot.

Seeing this, the salesperson quickly packaged it for her.

“What about you? What kind of phone do you want to buy?” Su Xiaoli asked while looking at the models displayed on the counter.

“I want to buy a Nokia bar phone. That way, even if it falls to the ground, I won’t worry about it breaking,” Tang Feng responded.

Hearing this, the salesperson promptly recommended one to Tang Feng.

Tang Feng briefly tried it out.

For him, even the best feature phone couldn’t compare to a smartphone.

After all, current mobile phones were only capable of making calls and sending texts, without even the ability to watch a short video.

Soon, he made a decision and bought the phone.

Then, he also bought phones for his parents.

He spent six thousand four hundred yuan all at once.

Su Xiaoli couldn’t help feeling a bit heartache when she saw him handing over cash to the cashier.

After all, even though her family was relatively wealthy, this amount of money was not insignificant.

After leaving the mobile phone store, Su Xiaoli asked Tang Feng, “Where are we going next?”

“To the computer District,” Tang Feng answered.

“Are you planning to buy a computer for university?” Su Xiaoli guessed.

“Yes!” Tang Feng nodded and said, “But I plan to buy two. One for each of us.”

“I don’t want one!” Su Xiaoli immediately waved her hands.

After all, Tang Feng had just given her a mobile phone, which had already cost a lot of money.

She couldn’t bear to accept anything else.

“No way! This is my wish! If you don’t accept it, I will be very unhappy,” Tang Feng’s attitude was very firm.

“How about this. You buy a good one for yourself first. When you make more money later, you can give me one,” Su Xiaoli suggested after thinking for a while.

“No,” Tang Feng shook his head, saying, “To me, giving now and giving later has a completely different meaning.”

“Why are you so stubborn…” Su Xiaoli was somewhat amused and frustrated seeing him like this.

“It’s not about being stubborn. I just want to give you the best,” Tang Feng said, looking at her with eyes full of deep love.

“You…” Su Xiaoli’s face turned red, not knowing what to say.

“Let’s go! Let’s take a look around the computer District!” Tang Feng called out.

Su Xiaoli nodded.

Soon, the two arrived at the computer District.

At that time, Binjiang District had only one computer District, which basically included most computer brands.

Lenovo, HP, ASUS, Dell, Acer, and so on.

Tang Feng was dazzled by the options.

“Xiaoli, which brand of computer do you like?” Tang Feng asked with a smile.

“I feel like these computers are all similar. I’ll listen to you,” Su Xiaoli answered.

“To be honest, no matter the brand, most are assembly machines. Whether it’s the CPU or the monitor, they all come from suppliers. Let’s compare prices first, then decide, how about that?” Tang Feng discussed with her.

Before his rebirth, Tang Feng had already used several laptops. He had some experience with computer configurations.

Of course, he mainly didn’t want to be taken advantage of.

Although earning money was relatively easy for him, it didn’t fall from the sky. He still needed to save where he could.

“Okay!” Su Xiaoli nodded in agreement.

After comparing prices at three different stores, Tang Feng finally decided to buy two HP computers, spending a total of twelve thousand three hundred yuan.

The owner even threw in a bunch of extras.

Of course, for Tang Feng, the most useful was the cooling stand.

After all, the thermal performance of laptops at this time was not very good.

Soon, after completing the transaction, Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli left the computer District.

“Tang Feng, where are we going next? Going home?” Su Xiaoli asked.

“No,” Tang Feng shook his head, saying, “I’m going to the Fashion district.”

“Are you planning to buy new clothes?” Su Xiaoli guessed.

“Yes,” Tang Feng nodded and said, “I want to buy new clothes for my parents. They’ve been saving for my education, even during New Year’s, they’re reluctant to buy new clothes for themselves.”

Su Xiaoli didn’t say anything, just gave a thumbs up.

Tang Feng, feeling a bit embarrassed, smiled.

Before long, they were carrying big and small bags as they entered the fashion district.

Immediately, many people’s gazes fell on them.

“Whose kids are these? They look so good!”

“Their parents really know how to produce! Not only did they have a son and a daughter, but they also look so good!”

“Young couple, who’s buying clothes?” A salesperson nearest to them approached to ask.

“I want to buy clothes for my parents,” Tang Feng answered.

“We only have women’s clothing here, men’s clothing is upstairs. You can buy for your mom first,” the salesperson suggested.

Tang Feng accepted the suggestion.

However, he delegated the mission of choosing clothes to Su Xiaoli.

After all, he was a man.

Choosing clothes for his mother was a mission better suited for Su Xiaoli.

Su Xiaoli didn’t refuse.

Soon, she chose two sets of clothes.

Then, they went upstairs.

After careful selection, Tang Feng bought two sets of clothes for his father.

One set of formal wear and one set of casual wear.

When they left the Fashion district, both of them were carrying full bags.

Of course, Tang Feng’s pockets were almost empty.

More than twenty thousand yuan had flowed away like water.

“Do you feel heartache?” Su Xiaoli suddenly asked on their way home.

“Not at all!” Tang Feng shook his head and said, “Money is meant to be spent. I believe that in the future, I will definitely earn more.”

“What do you plan to do when you earn more money?” Su Xiaoli continued to ask.

“Buy a house. The best house in Binjiang District,” Tang Feng straightforwardly answered.

“You mean a villa. To buy the best villa in Binjiang District, you might need five hundred thousand. That’s not a small amount,” Su Xiaoli reminded him.

“Five hundred thousand won’t be enough. Even if it’s priced at one thousand yuan per square meter, five hundred square meters would be five hundred thousand. Plus decoration and various fees, one million would be more like it,” Tang Feng quickly calculated.

“One million, my goodness! You really dare to dream!” Su Xiaoli’s face was filled with surprise.

After all, it was 2003, and one million was indeed a huge amount of money!

“If a person doesn’t have dreams, what’s the difference from a salted fish. Just wait and see, it won’t be long before I realize this dream,” Tang Feng said, his eyes sparkling with determination, his lips curling into a smile.
