Chapter 104 Buying expensive ones is right

In the supermarket, Ajielina was just about to push the shopping cart to the food and beverage area, but Wang Ye stopped her.

raised his chin, Wang Ye gestured: "Go over there first, I remember you said that your father likes to drink?"

Indeed, in Russia, men who don't like drinking are rare

Agelina nodded, "Yes, he drinks a little every night."

"Then let's go buy him some bars." Wang Ye said.

Ajielina was a little surprised. Just when she wanted to ask Wang Ye why he bought wine for his father, Wang Ye had already explained it in advance.

"In our country, when a girl's boyfriend visits his home for the first time, he must bring gifts to the girl's family. This is a kind of etiquette."

He really didn't talk nonsense. In China, if you dare to go to your girlfriend's house without a gift, you can imagine what will happen...

Not to mention anything else, the evaluation of "this child is ignorant" is definitely gone.

The value of the gift is determined according to your personal financial situation. The parents of girls may not force it, but whether to bring it or not is a matter of attitude!

When Ajielina heard this, she nodded understandingly and said nothing.

The two walked to the drink area.

The liquor section of this supermarket is still very large, and basically the best brands on the market can be seen here.

mentioning vodka, maybe the first reaction of Chinese people is "absolute vodka", thinking it is a Russian brand.

But in fact, it's not, Absolut Vodka is a Swedish brand that was later acquired by a French company.

But Absolut Vodka is also very common and well-known in Russia.

In addition, the more popular vodka brands here are "Crown", "Morosa", "Red Card", "Standard" and so on.

To be honest, the price of vodka is not expensive, and the degree is not high, only 40 degrees.

This is a gap compared to the domestic liquor that is often more than fifty degrees.

Looking at the dazzling array of vodka in front of the shelf, Wang Ye was a little confused. He didn't like to drink liquor or vodka, whether it was in this life or in the previous life.

So I don't know much about vodka.

asked Ajielina, "Which one does your father like to drink?"

Agelina smiled and said, "He likes to drink cheap, that kind of wine is basically impossible to buy in Moscow."

She was obviously joking, probably because of the economic situation, she was reluctant to buy expensive ones and could only drink cheap vodka of that small brand.

But this vodka tastes the same, all distilled spirits are 40%.

In this case, Wang Ye knows how to choose.

Choose the expensive one, you must be right!

The wines on the shelves are also regularly placed, and the prices are getting more and more expensive from bottom to top.

Wang Ye directly looked at it on tiptoe. The wine here is basically more than four or five hundred rubles, which is considered a high-end vodka.

He directly took a case of Crown Vodka and put it in the shopping cart.

This case is eight bottles, each bottle is one liter!

In Russia, many wines are served in a liter or 1.5 liter.

The case of wine that Wang Ye carried was more than six hundred rubles per bottle and five thousand rubles per case.

This time, Ajielina was stunned, she stood there, before asking after a long while, "You're crazy, why are you buying so much wine, we all buy a bottle."

Here, the differences between China and Russia are reflected again.

In China, gifts such as gifts are usually given in double numbers, which means "good things come in pairs".

But in Russia, you can only send odd numbers!

However, if Wang Ye buys a box, it can also be counted as an odd number.

Wang Ye waved his hand and said with a smile: "At our place, if you carry a bottle of wine over there, you will be kicked out, all in boxes."

Well, another cultural difference, Ajeelina has nothing to say...

It's easy to buy a present for Agelina's father. If you like to drink, you can buy wine, but buying a present for her mother is a bit of a headache.

Wang Ye doesn't know what old Russian ladies like...

Ask Agelina for advice.

Ajielina thought for a while, "Just buy a box of chocolates. Here, if you don't know what gifts to bring to other people's houses, then bring flowers and chocolates, that's right."

Wang Ye shook his head, chocolate?

It's not to fool children, it's too shabby!

He suddenly thought of something and asked, "Do your parents have cell phones?"

"Dad has, but Mum doesn't." Ajielina replied.

"That's easy to do, buy her a mobile phone as a gift, so that it will be easier for you to contact your family in the future." Wang Ye smiled.

"No way! It's too expensive, so don't buy it." Ajielina waved her hands quickly.

But apparently, her objections were invalid.

Bought some snacks and drinks to eat on the way.

Wang Ye took her directly and went to the store where he bought the mobile phone last time.

Although he is rich now, Wang Ye didn't go too far, he didn't choose a very expensive mobile phone, he just asked the clerk to bring over two Nokia 3310s, the same ones he and Ajielina used.

and many more

Why two!

Agelina found the problem again.

"One for your mother and one for sister-in-law." Wang Ye explained naturally.

He thought it was good, and he didn't have a lot of money, so he solved the gift problem.

And the other party will definitely like it.

"Nova is still a child and doesn't need a mobile phone!" Agelina objected.

"Nova" is naturally the name of Agelina's sister.

She is only in the third year of high school this year, and in Ajielina's eyes, she is still a little kid.

Think of when Ajielina and Wang Yegang met, she graduated from college and started working, and she hadn't bought a mobile phone yet.

Nova, what kind of cell phone does a high school student use!

Wang Ye shook his head and said, "She is going to go to university soon, and she is going to study in Moscow. It is always more convenient to have a mobile phone. If you want to contact us or contact your family, it is very simple."

This reason made Agelina unable to refute.

If you don't have a lot of money, then there is really no problem in buying a mobile phone.

The mobile phone at that time was definitely a simple communication tool, and did not have any entertainment functions...

The problem is that she feels that Wang Ye spends too much money, and it is a little difficult to accept.

Wang Ye is very rich now, this is what Ajielina also knows.

I am Wang Ye's girlfriend, Wang Ye buys him a gift or something, or Wang Ye pays the living expenses for the two of them, that's fine.

But if she spends too much money on her own home, Ajeelina thinks it's wrong...

Maybe this is the difference between Europeans and Americans and Chinese people.

But in the end, seeing that Wang Ye bought the phone directly, Ajielina did not continue to object.

I just told him: "I know, you will say that this is Chinese etiquette. This time, forget it, because it is the first time you are going to my house. But in the future, you must not buy too expensive gifts for my family. That way Not only would I mind, maybe my family would mind too."

Wang Ye is a little speechless, there are people who don't like gifts from others?
