New York today is as peaceful as ever.
The shady well beside the street was steaming hot, snow piled high beside the road, and the muddy air made pedestrians sneeze.
Manhattan’s high-rise buildings are still under construction, and the cars on the streets come and go, but unlike the war, people’s faces have a lot of smiles.
Even pacifists and anti-war people are happy to enjoy the dividends of war and enjoy a better life.
In Queens, some distance from Manhattan, there is a very ordinary community high school. Today is the last day of school.
Christmas is coming and the school is about to have winter vacation. Not only are students completely unwilling to study, but even the teachers are justified.
The last half-day course is actually almost all self-study. The winter vacation in the United States generally lasts for four weeks, starting from the week or two before Christmas.
The situation this year is still different from previous years. In many places in New York, there are more buildings called supermarkets. The yellow W logo on them indicates that they are all assets of Wilson Corporation.
These buildings have not yet opened their doors and are still covered with curtains. But outside these buildings, there are rows of billboards with all kinds of goods painted on them, and there are scaryly low prices.
It is said that on the Friday before Christmas, these special shops will officially open and sell these things at very low prices.
Whether it is a daily department store or some light luxury accessories that people are reluctant to buy on weekdays, all prices are reduced.
In fact, in normal history, Black Friday is the fourth Friday of November, which is after Thanksgiving. But the Earth 40K does not have this concept. The supermarket is all proposed by Su Ming. In order to save trouble, he simply set the big sale on the last Friday before Christmas.
The reason why it is called Black Friday is that American accountants use red pens to record loss figures when keeping accounts, which is called deficits; black pens are used to record profit figures. Black Friday actually means ‘big profit Friday’.
But now whether it is a student or a teacher, they are all thinking about how to spend their salary or pocket money.
Some students are writing their purchase lists on the slips of paper, but the guys who don't usually work or have poor family backgrounds are inevitably downcast.
"Well, students, I wish you all a happy holiday in advance and get out of class is over."
coax......
As the teacher smiled and said that school was over, the classroom suddenly became lively. The students picked up their books and bags and walked out of the classroom in twos and threes with a smile.
In the hallway, a blond teenager in a worn-out bomber jacket was putting his textbooks in a locker. The mess in the locker made him useless.
In addition to beautiful women, there are also football stars, but the faces on these posters wrinkled and deformed when he pushed the locker's door hard.
"Hi, Leo, do you know what day is today?" The fat man beside him is his friend, and the locker of the two is together.
The blond young man rubbed his part and leaned against the cabinet: "What?"
"Black Friday." Although the fat man looked far less handsome than him, the locker was very tidy, and he could easily close the door while talking to Leonid with joy.
"What Black Friday?"
"Ahem, don't you know? God, don't you look at the road when you walk?" The fat man cast a contemptuous look at his friend, and took out a flyer from the back pocket of his jeans.
Because of its size, these jeans are like a big bag for arranging grain in a barn, so this pile of flyers is stuffed into it almost without folding.
Leonid took the flyers a little disgustingly, and found that they were all kinds of discounted goods.
60% OFF, 75% OFF, such big red numbers abound, things that were originally priced at more than ten dollars can now be bought for just a few dollars on the flyer.
"The supermarket chain owned by Wilson Enterprise has a big sale on Black Friday. For only a few dollars, you can't buy it and you can't buy it..." Subconsciously, he read the slogan above and frowned. :"what is this....."
The fat man snatched the brochure and turned several pages: "It's a big store. The stuff in it is very cheap. Wilson's enterprise is said to give back to the society so that everyone can have a good Christmas."
"Oh." Leonid echoed eagerly, planning to slip away.
But the fat man didn't lose his strength, so he put his arm around his neck and almost put the brochure on his face.
"Look at it. Buying the latest tape recorder will also give you Shaqimo's album tapes. Do you know the tapes? This is a German technique during the war. And this, buying rugby will give you random baseball star cards, and they are all super cheap."
"Yeah." Leonid was still struggling.
"Brother, the supermarket will open in two hours. How about you go with me? You should buy new shoes too." The fat man looked down at Leo's feet.
It’s not that his shoes are not good now, but is it too cold to wear only a pair of canvas shoes in winter?
"You know, I have to go to work, or I can't even afford the tuition after school starts." Leonid shook his head. He is an orphan and it is impossible to spend money on these things.
Even if these products are really cheap, it is unnecessary.
The fat man nodded understandingly, patted his chest and said proudly: "I bought it for you as a Christmas gift. My dad works in Wilson's enterprise and paid this amount of bonus a few days ago..."
The fat man looked at no one around, and mysteriously stretched out three fingers in his arms. His fingers looked like hot dogs and were plump.
Leonid swallowed. He knew Wilson's corporate welfare was very good, but he didn't expect it to be so good. Especially when he thinks of hot dogs, he is a little hungry.
"Have you increased your pocket money again?"
It is false to say that he does not envy his friends, but what he envied is not that the other party has money, but that the other party has a family.
"That is, but we are good brothers, mine is yours, today we go to see this super mall, and then you come to my house on Christmas!"
"Thank you, but forget it, I am a person who will cause misfortune, I understand your kindness, but really..."
The fat man rolled his eyes angrily, brought their heads together, his voice lowered even more.
"I know you suspect that you are a mutant, but I understand you. You are not a monster. You are a good person. Don't say anything to cause misfortune."
Leonid was a little moved, he was about to answer something, another voice sounded on the other side of the two.
"Hi, boys, what are you talking about?"
The fat man’s locker was on Leonid’s right, and on the left was Banhua’s. At this time, the beautiful girl was looking at them curiously with big eyes.
"Hi, Lily."
Leonid and Fatty both showed silly smiles. They felt that in this winter, their little hearts would be melted by this beautiful sound.
"Wow, do you plan to go to Wilson Supermarket too? I'm going to go there for a while, but I'm going to have a meal first. I'm impressed."
The girl's gaze fell on the brochure in front of the two, and said with some surprise.
"Uh, yes, we are all planning to go." Leonid replied with a smirk as if his mind had stopped.
He completely forgot that no matter how the fat man was tempted just now, he was determined to go to work. At this moment, he only felt that Lily's body smelled so good.
Lily glanced at the handsome Leonid, her cheeks flushed slightly, she lowered her head and put something in the locker, then gently closed the door, reaching out and brushing the hair around her ear.
"Can I go with you?" She might feel a little abrupt, and added: "Can you help me with something, I want to buy more spicy gluten sticks."
The fat man looked at the two of them, a man and a woman looked at each other's eyes and talked, his originally small eyes narrowed into a gap.
Eating + shopping + picking up things = sending home...
As if an electric light flashed through his mind, his eyes opened wide, and he understood.
Although he is fat, he is not stupid at all. This is what Banhua is interesting to her good brother!
Although Banhua seemed to treat him as a transparent person, he did not matter, as long as Leonid had more confidence, he had a miserable life.
While he was thinking, Leonid and Lily had already made an appointment to meet, and the blond boy was scratching his head, smirking and watching Lily run away.
"Ha ha......"
The fat man rolled his eyes and said ‘ha’ in Leonid’s ear, and the guy who had fallen into the fantasy came back to his senses.
"Banhua is interested in you, Leo, not bad, it seems I will be an uncle soon."
Leonid looked at him with a mental patient: "What a joke."
"It's a joke indeed, this is for you, pay attention to safety." The fat man gave Leonid a few small packets with a wry expression, some latex products.
"Fak, where did you come from?" This thing seemed to be hot, and Leo immediately tucked it back into the fat man's pocket.
"Stealing my dad, I always thought I would use it when, sure enough." The fat man looked foresight.
"I don't need it. Lily is not that kind of girl."
The fat man smiled and took out ten dollars: "Then lend you this first. You won't refuse it? You won't even buy her a cup of coffee if you go out with Lily?
Leonid struggled a bit~EbookFREE.me~ but still accepted the fat man’s kindness: "I will pay you back as soon as possible."
"Leave aside that, I think you should chase her now and have lunch or something, instead of talking with me here."
The fat man pointed to the door at the other end of the corridor with the posture of someone coming, Lily's back figure had not disappeared.
Leonid scratched his head, he was a little embarrassed: "Could it be bad?"
"Fak, go quickly, you already have the hormonal smell of love, disturbing my noble single fragrance!" The fat man pushed him sharply, smiling and waving his fists.
"Thanks brother."
With this push, Leo gradually started to run, turned his head and shouted at the fat man with a smile.
The fat man just nodded slowly, like a coach on the side of a football field, raising his hands to his mouth and trumpeting: "Go! Go! Tiger!"
