On August 24th, Qiu Xi received her admission letter from Minhua University and learned that September 10th was the day for new student registration.
"Hmm, the school received 250,000 in prize money and system rewards before. Then parties, bookstore visits, and shopping spent nearly 10,000..." In her room, Qiu Xi was calculating her savings, planning to go out with Qiu Ge to buy some back-to-school items once he returned in a couple of days.
In the blink of an eye, on August 27th, Qiu Ge returned from his military training.
"Little Ge, let's go shopping tomorrow and buy some things for school," Qiu Xi came out of her room as soon as Qiu Ge entered and sat down.
"Sis, my dear sister, can you let me rest for two days before going? Please?" Qiu Ge was helpless. I just got home and haven't even rested yet.
Qiu Xi shrugged, "Alright, you're not starting school until September 1st anyway."
"Okay..."
In the evening, Dad Qiu and Mom Qiu returned.
"Xiao Xi, you mentioned going shopping a few days ago. Do you want your dad and me to go with you?" Mom Qiu suddenly remembered what her daughter had said about preparing for school and needing to buy some things, so she came to ask.
Qiu Xi, sitting at her desk, turned her head, "Mom, no need. Qiu Ge just got back, I'll take him with me in a couple of days."
"That's good. Then I'll ask your dad to transfer some money to you another day." Mom Qiu thought about it; it was fine for the two children to go together.
"Mom, no need, I still have some." Qiu Xi quickly refused. She wasn't just going out to spend money this time.
Besides, she was a little rich girl with some money in her pocket now and didn't need her dad to transfer any more money to her.
"Alright, then you spend what you have first. If it's not enough, tell us." Mom Qiu, while saying this, remembered the prize money she had received at the school commendation ceremony, so she didn't mention transferring money anymore.
"Then you should rest early, don't stay up too late."
Hearing this, Qiu Xi got up from her chair, "Got it, Mom. You go rest first."
"Alright, alright, don't push. I'm going out, I won't disturb you." After speaking, Mom Qiu went out.
Suddenly, Mom Qiu's head reappeared at the door, "Remember to rest early."
"I know, I know."

"Sis, are you ready?" Qiu Ge, who was sitting and playing games, had lost several rounds, but his sister still hadn't come down.
"Play a little longer, I'll be ready soon."
"......"
It's been "soon" for a while now. It sounds very perfunctory. Qiu Ge simply lay down.
Qiu Xi tidied up and went downstairs, "Little Ge, let's go."
Qiu Ge looked at his sister, "Sis! You're finally ready."
After dawdling for a long time, the two finally went out.
As soon as they got out of the car, they headed straight for the mall.
"Let's go, first accompany me to buy a laptop, and while we're at it, let's get new phones for both of us."
As soon as they entered, Qiu Xi pulled her brother towards a store.
The family only had one desktop computer. She needed to buy a laptop before going to university. As for phones, although her current one still worked, the storage was already insufficient, so it needed to be replaced.
Qiu Ge's situation was even worse; his phone was comparable to an old man's phone, and he even used his own for games. She hadn't planned to replace it, but after thinking about it for a long time, she decided to get a new one.
Moreover, if she didn't get one, her parents would buy them later. After all, she had been treated this way before, and she had to be fair to her brother.
If she replaced it now, she could also save her parents some money. However, it was good to remind Qiu Ge to study hard.
At that time, she was already suspected of being lost in trivial things. For her brother, she had to nip it in the bud. She would have to talk to her parents properly when she got home, although Qiu Ge might not need it much, as he had been very disciplined since childhood.
As soon as Qiu Xi spoke, Qiu Ge became excited, "Sis, really?"
He had been dissatisfied with his "old man's phone" for a long time. Sometimes, even checking information was difficult.
"Let's go, I'll get you a new one."
"Sis, you are truly the GOAT!"
"Stop the flattery, let's go."
"Okay." His mood instantly lifted.
The two looked around the store for a long time and finally bought an Alien laptop and an HW phone.
"Let's go buy some clothes." As soon as they walked out of the store, Qiu Xi had already planned their next stop: a clothing store.
Many of her previous clothes had been discarded. She needed to buy a couple of outfits for emergencies before going to school. She also wanted to buy some for Qiu Ge and her parents, especially for Qiu Ge. A high school boy needed to be a bit more stylish.
As she walked and thought, speaking of style, Qiu Xi thought about buying some skincare products for her mother later.
Next, in the mall, Qiu Ge truly became a bag carrier. He followed Qiu Xi from one shop to another, buying more and more things.
"Phew, sis, are we done?" At first, Qiu Ge was happy to hear that he would get new clothes. However, after a long day of shopping, it still wasn't over. Qiu Ge seemed to have grasped his sister's "shopaholic" nature.
"We're done." Qiu Xi, carrying several shopping bags, didn't seem to notice her brother's "resentment."
Walking ahead, Qiu Xi seemed to remember something, "Do you want to go to the supermarket? I'll buy you some snacks to take to school."
"Yes!" It's not like he wouldn't accept it. After being a tool person for so long, he wouldn't miss this chance. Qiu, who wouldn't lose out and loved to eat, Ge stated he couldn't miss it.
"Then let's go."
In the supermarket, after storing their items, Qiu Ge pushed the shopping cart and began to stock up.
"Potato chips, cookies... this, this, and this..." Qiu Xi followed behind, taking pictures of her brother, who had suddenly turned into a happy husky.
Qiu Ge was satisfied with the haul, "Alright, let's check out."
It was a great harvest! Mom and Dad wouldn't allow him to buy so many snacks. Perhaps this was the joy of Qiu, the tool person, Ge.
"Let's go home~" Qiu Ge, walking out of the mall, felt liberated.
At the mall entrance, Qiu Xi looked around in all directions for a moment, "Wait for me here, I'll be right back."
"No, sis, what else are you going to do?" Qiu Ge really couldn't understand.
Then he watched his sister walk into a... lottery store!!!
