Chapter 435: Laptop
In this day and age, desktop computers did not have LCD screens. They were bigger and commonly known as microcomputers. Each one costs a few thousand yuan.
There was no ultra-thin model for a laptop. It was relatively heavy and cost over ten thousand yuan. Only very rich families would have a laptop.
Jian Ai could naturally afford a laptop. However, since the Internet was not yet popularized and a poor and remote place like South City did not have access to the Internet, Jian Ai did not buy a laptop.
Unexpectedly, her aunt and uncle gave her a computer for her birthday.
It was not a desktop computer, but a ten thousand yuan notebook.
After the shock, Jian Ai was more touched.
She knew she had given her aunt a house worth hundreds of thousands of yuan. A notebook was naturally nothing compared to a house.
But she had countless hundreds of thousands of yuan, and this house did not cost money.
However, her auntâs family was different. Jian Ai remembered that her auntâs bankbook only had about forty thousand yuan, but she still bought her a computer that cost over ten thousand yuan.
A person with a hundred million yuan and would spend a million yuan on you versus a person with ten yuan and would spend nine yuan on youâJian Ai felt the latter was more touching.
âTake it. Itâll be useful in the future!â Yao Feng smiled.
Jian Ai didnât refuse, nor did she have a reason to refuse. Because they were family, they didnât have to differentiate between them.
She reached out to take it. It was a little heavy. Jian Ai looked at Yao Feng and said, âThank you, Uncle.â
When they returned to the living room, this gift shocked everyone. Even Wang Zichenâs eyes were fixed on it.
âDamn, a laptop!â
Wang Zichen pounced over but was too embarrassed to open it. He only held the box and looked at it.
His father doted on him so much, but refused to buy him a computer. In the end, the first person at home to have a computer was Jian Ai!
Wang Zichen was envious and jealous.
Wang Zimeng was also envious, but she was not as exaggerated as Wang Zichen.
âUncle, how much is this computer?â Wang Zichen asked.
Yao Feng didnât hide it and said casually, âTwenty-six thousand yuan!â
Laptops were expensive, so not everyone could afford them.
âTwentyâŠâ Wang Zichen was speechless. He opened his mouth but couldnât say anything.
The twenty-six thousand yuan computer was not for her son, but for Jian Aiâs birthday gift.
Was her auntâs family rich?
Yao Jiachi was the calmest. He felt he should give his sister anything.
âMom, Uncle gave Jian Ai a laptop!â
Wang Zichen rushed into the kitchen and shouted loudly, his tone revealing that he wanted one too.
Wang Yunmei was picking vegetables when she heard that. She was shocked. âWhat? A laptop?â
Wang Yunzhi smiled and nodded. âI asked Yao Feng to buy it for Xiao Aiâs birthday gift.â
How could Wang Yunmei not know what was going on at her sisterâs house? She would have to spend half of their savings on this computer. She couldnât help but complain, âLook at you. If Xiao Ai wanted a computer, she would have bought it herself. How could you spend so much money?â
Wang Yunzhi was unhappy. âSister, how could the computer Xiao Ai bought herself be the same as my gift to her as an aunt?â
âYunzhi is right!â Jiang Chunfen chimed in. âXiao Ai is worth such a good gift. Yunmei, donât think too much about it. Shouldnât an aunt dote on her?!â
Wang Yunzhi smiled and said, âThatâs right.â
