Chapter 269: I want both of them!

Gu Chen hastily corrected himself, 'Oops, now that you mention it, my back suddenly hurts, and my shoulder doesn't feel right either.'

He finished by twisting his neck in pain.

'Hey, even your neck is twisted, did you hear it? It sounded like your bones just cracked,'

To be honest, the acting was really poor.

Ji Pianran was amused by Gu Chen's exaggerated actions and laughed out loud.

What kind of husband is he?

She had always thought that Gu Chen was a warm man, but she never expected that he had such a funny side.

Her eyes were full of a fine, beautiful light, and her long eyelashes looked like two butterflies about to take flight.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed on both sides, and her skin looked delicate and radiant.

A rosy cherry mouth reveals eight white, neat teeth.

That smile is as bright as the sun, and just one look at it will make you feel deeply infected.

Gu Chen also laughed, and after he finished laughing, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Ji Pianran.

'Daughter-in-law, you see that I'm so tired, why don't we go home and have a big health care?'

He has been waiting for a long time to be naive!

and heard the words 'massage'.

Ji Bianran blinked, and before the smile on the corner of her eye and brow could recede in a hurry, she asked curiously, 'What is a massage?'

'A massage, a massage is a massage, yes, it's a massage,' Gu Chen laughed with a sinister intent.

Ji Bianran thought about it for a moment, 'Okay, let's go back!'

Go back, take a good shower, and then she'll give her a massage herself, and she'll make sure that Gu Chen gets a good night's sleep tonight.

The family of three walked back along the way they had come, passing a shop selling small gifts.

The shop's floor-to-ceiling windows were spotlessly clean.

Inside, each shelf was covered with a clean white blanket, with all kinds of Barbie dolls on display, with skin of all colours and hair of all colours, in all kinds of different poses.

But they had one thing in common, and that was that they were all equally delicate and beautiful.

Standing in front of the display window, Tang Tang held out her small hands, palms pressed against the glass, her eyes full of longing.

The dolls here are so beautiful.

She likes them so much!

Seeing that the child liked them, Gu Chen stopped in his tracks, crouched down next to Tang Tang, and smiled at her with love.

'Do you like them?'

The little girl nodded without hesitation, 'I like them!'

After saying that, she looked up at Gu Chen with her big, pleading eyes.

If her daughter likes it, Gu Chen will definitely buy it.

He hugged Tang Tang and walked in, 'Which one do you like? Let's go in and pick it out?'

Upon hearing this, the little guy pointed to the Barbie doll with pink hair in the middle.

'Tang Tang wants that one!'

At this moment, there were not many people in the store, so the salesperson immediately followed the little guy's hand and looked over.

That was the store's signature doll, imported from Germany.

It was handmade, with real human hair dyed for the hair, and the clothes on the doll were made stitch by stitch.

'Little friend, that doll costs 400 yuan, it's very expensive,' the salesperson laughed.

Four hundred yuan, Ji Pianran was shocked.

He looked at the doll carefully with his eyes.

Is it made of gold?

He didn't see any difference.

Children don't know what is expensive or not. After pointing at this one, Tangtang pointed at another bald-headed Barbie doll, and said in a baby voice, 'Daddy, I want that one too.'

Gu Chen looked at the pink one first. He had watched TikTok in his previous life, and many people who posted photos of these dolls were on it.

To be honest, in the future, many girls like these dolls, regardless of age. They like them when they are ten, they still like them when they are twenty, and even when they are thirty, they still like them.

Although Gu Chen didn't know why they liked them, he knew one thing:

These dolls are really expensive in later generations, costing a few thousand yuan. A handmade little dress alone is more expensive than clothes in the mall, often costing 700 to 800 yuan.

Some people go even further, leaving public messages online for a doll, saying that whoever can buy it for her will be able to accompany her for however many days.

What they will do together is needless to say, as the main websites do not allow it to be said.

But everyone should know that it is not a good thing.

After looking at the doll, the salesperson smiled again.

'That one is only 30 yuan, and many children like it.'

She really didn't think that Gu Chen would spend 400 yuan on a doll for her child.

After all, those kinds of toys are only liked by petty bourgeois white-collar workers in their late twenties and early thirties.

With money, young girls' hearts are overflowing.

This kind is what parents buy, affordable, 30 yuan.

Gu Chen thought about it and said to the salesperson, 'I'll take both.'

When Gu Chen said he wanted to buy both, Ji Pianran hurriedly reached out and tugged at the corner of Gu Chen's shirt, whispering in his ear, 'Don't buy them, you can't spoil the child like this.'

Gu Chen didn't quite agree with Ji Pianran's point of view.

He wasn't actually trying to spoil the child, but rather to better educate Tangtang.

To be honest, a doll that costs 400 yuan is indeed outrageously expensive, and it's completely a toy for the rich.

Eighty percent of this price is due to gimmicks and brand premiums.

It's completely gouging the consumer.

But if you tell a child under three years old about this, she won't understand 100%.

She'll just think that it's expensive and therefore not for her.

Over time, whenever she hears the word expensive, she'll feel that she doesn't deserve it and doesn't deserve to have it.

This will hurt a person's self-confidence.

It's an invisible kind of damage to one's character.

But if you compare it to something else, it's a different story.

She will truly understand that expensive things are not necessarily good.

I won't buy it because it's not worth it, not because I don't deserve it.

Children should be happy and full of boundless confidence in life.

As for earning money and experiencing the hardships of the world, that's something adults should do.

Gu Chen smiled at Ji Pianran, 'It's fine, if the child likes it, then buy it for her.'

Tantan is not the kind of child who wants everything she sees. She can have a favourite toy to play with for a long time, so in that way, it is actually still cost-effective.

Besides, having her will enable him to fully understand what is going on.

In this way, in the future, if someone else has it, he will not be envious.

It is just as the saying goes, someone who has seen a rose will not get lost for a wildflower.

But the prerequisite is that they have seen a rose.

Gu Chen is not simply spoiling his child.

A correct outlook on life can change a person's life.

He needs to establish a correct outlook on life in Tang Tang.

So even if it is expensive, Gu Chen still wants to buy it.

When Tang Tang finds that there is no difference between the expensive and the cheap ones except for the price, naturally she will choose the cheap ones.

And he believes that after Tang Tang really understands, she probably will never buy this kind of expensive doll again in her life.

Ji Pianran was unable to stop Gu Chen, but he wasn't angry either. After all, Gu Chen had earned the money in a previous life, and he was the child's father. What could he say about buying things for his child?

When she heard that Gu Chen actually didn't hesitate to buy two, the salesperson's eyes widened.

She couldn't believe it and said, 'Sir, are you serious?'
