American drama of life

Chapter 65 What a big surprise

Once at the apartment.

Luke begins to retell Monica's mysterious code.

"You... have a good memory..."

What can Monica say other than admiration at this time?

After a class.

Break time.

"Hehehe."

Monica giggled while drawing circles with her hands in front of Luke's chest.

"Sister, how are you?"

Luke laughed.

"Thank God!"

Monica's thousands of words finally turned into a classic Western exclamation.

"You are too rude."

Luke pretended to be dissatisfied: "I do all the dirty work, but you thank God?"

"Thank God is thank you!"

Monica quickly explained.

"There is a saying that is good, don't look at what you say, but look at what you do~"

Luke continued to tease her.

Although Monica was not one of the later generations who understood Ji in seconds, she also understood in an instant.

The class bell immediately rang in Luke's mind.

there.

Phoebe takes Emma to the mall.

The dilapidated house of the stepfather's house was burnt like that, and all of Emma's few clothes were buried in it.

If you don't buy it, you will have no clothes to change.

"So lovely!"

Phoebe led Emma to try one by one. Seeing that Emma was wearing a piece of clothing, her eyes lit up, and she immediately regarded Emma as a model and tried frantically.

"Just buy one."

After Emma tried a few sets, she interrupted Phoebe, who was addicted: "Actually, we can find it in the donation box."

"That won't work."

Phoebe shook her head: "This is the new beginning of your life, and it's natural to have a new look."

None of them are hypocritical people, they all live a hard life, and it is completely out of mind to rummage through the donation box for clothes that others don't want and then stuff them in.

In fact, many of Emma's clothes came from this way.

In addition to some special clothing necessary to join the skating competition, such as the red tassel skating uniform.

This kind of clothes is difficult to find, and other clothes are found from small to large.

Of course there are also some clothes that Luke's predecessor wore as a child.

At that time, Luke's mother was still there. No matter how difficult it was, normal mothers would save money to buy new clothes for their children.

So Luke's clothes as a kid were of good quality and decent quantity.

In the end, it stayed, and some of the more neutral sizes were also suitable for Emma to wear.

This is one of the important reasons why Luke came over and looked at Emma differently.

In his previous life, he also came here when he was a child.

New three years, old three years, sewing and mending for another three years.

He wore the tattered clothes of his brother and sister. Although he disliked it very much, when he grew up, he thought it was a good memory.

Now that he came across and found that his predecessor and this little girl named Emma also had similar memories, which made him feel particularly intimate.

"Then buy 2 new sets of underwear and a new coat."

Seeing this, Emma said: "The rest, we can rummage. There are a lot of good things in the donation boxes, and many of them are outdated and thrown over by others."

"OK then."

Phoebe agreed with that statement, agreeing.

The United States is the most wasteful country, whether it is food and clothing.

Some people go to donate clothes, and when they put clothes in the donation box, they see very good clothes, and they can instantly change from the person who donates the clothes to the person who is donated.

Luke's predecessor met Mike, and before he was adopted by the Silver family, he often rummaged through the trash cans behind the restaurant to find food, and he developed a good cooking skill in this environment.

Get a glimpse of the whole leopard.

If all kinds of resources are not wasted enough, how can there be such a thing.

After it was finalized, Emma took over the initiative, no longer let Phoebe lead the fitting, but quickly found what she liked, and then paid the bill and left.

"You are too frugal..."

Phoebe is confused.

Luke forced $300, and she was going to add another $300 to Emma to help the little angel dress up, but in the end it only cost more than $60.

Emma only buys cheap ones.

"Doesn't it look good?"

Emma asked back.

"nice……"

Phoebe has nothing to say after telling the truth.

Some people just look good in whatever they wear.

"It's useless to buy such good clothes. I'm going to grow up soon, and I don't think I can wear it for long."

Emma calmly analyzed: "It's a waste of money to spend on this. I don't think you and Luke are rich enough to be financially free?"

"No."

Phoebe felt a little embarrassed.

Luke lent her the money for her community college now.

Although the business of fast food trucks is good now, the time is too short to pay off.

This kind of generosity towards Emma now seems to be an oversight of generosity to others.

"Then it shouldn't be wasted."

Emma reminded: "Only after the accumulation of wealth is completed, and money generates money to a certain extent, can you live a life without regard to money as you like, otherwise it will consume capital to overdraw the future."

"Are you really only 12?"

Phoebe looked at her in shock: "How do you know this?"

This is not at all like what Emma should say at her age.

"The skating rink asks for money, and I can't go to it every day. Many times I can only watch TV at home, and I'll know it if I watch it more."

Emma said calmly.

"watch TV?"

Phoebe said confusedly: "Isn't it all commercials on TV? Why don't I remember teaching this?"

"Try listening to the commercials on TV in reverse."

Emma reminded: "She asks you to consume, you should know not to consume.

She encourages you to consume in advance, and you must resolutely put an end to early consumption.

She said you have to pay extra attention to safety.

Everything is heard the other way round, and it is basically more than 90% of the truth of our world. "

"Holy shit!"

Phoebe was stunned at first, but after thinking about it, it made perfect sense.

"Do you know where Luke's apartment is?"

Emma asked suddenly.

"Yes, do you want to go?"

Phoebe said subconsciously, "I'll call Luke and ask if he's there."

"No, let's surprise him in the past."

Emma shook her head and showed her new clothes from top to bottom with her hands: "Let him see the brand new me."

"Alright."

Phoebe didn't think much, and drove over with Emma.

Mike's apartment.

Luke and Monica were procrastinating, the kind that good students and good teachers like to procrastinate, when they heard a knock on the door.

"Who's here at this desperate time?"

Luke didn't say anything yet, and Monica almost didn't shout.

"Maybe the neighbor, leave him alone."

Luke thought he was a neighbor, so he continued to study knowledge, intending to let people outside give up and leave.

However, the knocking on the door never stopped, knocking very rhythmically.

"I gonna go see."

Luke was worried that the knock on the door would attract unnecessary onlookers, so he got up and put on his clothes to open the door: "Who is it?"

"surprise!"

As soon as the door opened, Phoebe jumped in, made a classic surprise shout, then waved his hands back, and shouted with a grand introduction of the players: "Now we have our little angel Emma Harding!"

In the bedroom, the sound of falling to the ground was immediately heard.

Emma walked in in her new clothes and smiled at Luke: "surprise?"
