DAVM Chapter 71.4

Ji Ningyi said: “Pei Jing, will you come to our house again after you go home?”

“Yes.” Pei Jing’s voice was low, but every word fell clearly in the quiet environment, “I will come to you when I have saved enough money and I am on vacation.”

Ji Ningyi hummed: “Then, you have to remember our home address.”

Ji Ningyi said it clearly: “And my phone number. You should also remember it, so you can call me when you go back.”

Pei Jing asked, “What is it?”

He did not have Ji Ningyi’s phone number because Pei Jing did not have a phone watch and they also lived very close, so they never needed to communicate by phone.

Ji Ningyi turned on the bedside lamp. As soon as he clicked on it, the warm yellow light was soft and not dazzling. Ji Zhile fell asleep obediently without waking up.

Ji Ningyi lifted the quilt and climbed out of bed. He found the notebook and pen, wrote down the number, and handed it to Pei Jing.

Pei Jing took it solemnly: “I will remember it.”

Under the light, Ji Ningyi lowered his eyelashes and looked a little sad. Pei Jing stood beside him, trying hard to comfort his friend: “There is a small canteen opposite our house. I can make a call there. I will call you when I get home.”

Ji Ningyi asked: “Then when I call you later, can you answer it?”

Pei Jing said: “Yes, Grandpa at the canteen will answer the phone at the door, and I will hear it when I am at home.”

Once Ji Ningyi knew that Pei Jing wanted to go home, he would not stop him.

“If you make a new friend, let me know.”

Pei Jing said: “Ningyi, you will always be my best friend.”

This sentence made Ji Ningyi’s heart tremble slightly, and he said, “I will remember it.”

Pei Jing carefully put the note that Ji Ningyi gave him in the middle of the school bag. He put it together with the three thousand yuan. They were all his precious things.

Ji Ningyi asked Si Tian to take him out to buy things the next day. Facing her eldest son’s request, Si Tian naturally agreed. Ji Ningyi rarely asked for anything, but this time was very special. He wanted to go out alone with her.

In the car, Ji Ningyi explained his intention to Si Tian: “Mom, I want to buy a mobile phone for Pei Jing.”

“Pei Jing’s home doesn’t have a phone. If he wants to call me, he needs to go to the canteen in the village. If Pei Jing’s home has a phone, we can make regular calls.”

Si Tian did not expect Ji Ningyi to be so thoughtful.

Si Tian said: “Of course, what kind of mobile phone does Ningyi want to buy?”

Ji Ningyi said: “I haven’t thought about it. I have New Year’s money. Mom, I want to use my own money to buy gifts for Pei Jing.”

Ji Ningyi is not like Ji Zhile. He is older and can save good things.

The two children’s New Year’s money was all deposited with Ji Jiangzhou. All of Ji Zhile’s money was being kept, while Ji Ningyi only kept some. Ji Jiangzhou said at the time that he could do whatever he wanted with the money, but Ji Ningyi never bought anything else.

Si Tian said: “Yes, Ningyi is a very caring child.”

Si Tian takes Ji Ningyi to the mobile phone store to choose a mobile phone. There are various smartphones in the mobile phone store. Si Tian lets Ji Ningyi choose by himself. Because this is the gift that Ji Ningyi wants to give to Pei Jing.

In the end, Ji Ningyi did not choose a smartphone but bought an elderly phone with a button, which is the most practical for the elderly.

After all, Pei Jing was only seven years old and still had to go to school, so he definitely could not bring his mobile phone to school.

The elderly phone is not expensive, costing a few hundred yuan. Si Tian thinks that this is just right, and it is easier for Pei Jing and his grandmother to accept it.

After buying the mobile phone, Ji Ningyi looked very happy as soon as he held it in his hand, but he asked Si Tian worriedly: “Mom, will Pei Jing accept it?”

Si Tian said: “Yes, this is your farewell gift to him, and Pei Jing will accept it.”

Only then did the stone in Ji Ningyi’s heart fall into place. He believed what his mother said and felt that Pei Jing had changed a lot compared to before.

He sincerely hopes that Pei Jing can call him many times in the future. Even if they don’t live together, they are still best friends. They can chat and know each other’s recent situation.

After buying the mobile phone, Ji Ningyi still wanted to buy a mobile phone strap, so Si Tian took him to the accessories store.

When Ji Ningyi was chosen by himself, Si Tian was looking at the accessories area beside him. The things were not expensive, but they looked very beautiful and sparkled under the light.

As soon as Ji Ningyi had chosen the mobile phone strap, he turned around and saw Si Tian looking at the hair ties. She glanced at Ji Ningyi from the corner of her eye, and Si Tian asked him: “Have you chosen it?”

Ji Ningyi nodded, and Si Tian took him to pay. Ji Ningyi asked, “Does Mom like those hair ties?”
