“What’s going on…” Xiao Hai started murmuring to himself in astonishment. “How does my mom know Xiang Yi!?!”
Xiao Hai’s mother was extremely impatient. He turned the doorknob and yelled, “Hurry up! I just saw the ad on TV, I want to buy all the scents! If you go late, you won’t be able to snap up any! Your Aunt Xu, Aunt Yang and the others have all gone to snatch it.”
“Mom you are talking about allbuy right.” After listening for a long time, Xiao Hai finally understood what his mother was driving at. He reluctantly put on his jacket and said, “It’s just a hand sanitizer, what’s there to snap up? Can such a thing possibly be sold out?”
Anyway, he had never seen any empty shelves whenever he passed by the daily chemical product section in the supermarket.
However…
When Xiao Hai arrived at the supermarket with his mother, he realized that he was really…
Too young and inexperienced.
The supermarket was so crowded that it was comparable to the flow of people during celebratory festivals like the Chinese New Year.
Xiao Hai noticed that most of them were middle-aged women like his mother. There were also some elderly women.
Everyone was snatching the hand sanitizers.
The supermarket also arranged for a staff to maintain order with a loud speaker , “Please line up to purchase hand sanitizer. Hand sanitizers are limited to five bottles per person! Hey that lady over there, please step back a little. If you cut in line, you won’t be allowed to buy!”
The group of people was discussing.
“She’s already so old and she’s still trying to cut in line…”
“Yeah, look how eager she is.”
“The last time we were snatching eggs, I didn’t see her behaving in such an uncultured manner.”
“…”
Listening to the sound of discussion coming from all directions, Xiao Hai slipped into a trance.
He had seen purchase limits for cell phones and luxury goods but he had never seen purchase limits for hand sanitizers…
Xiao Hai’s mother stopped in her tracks and exclaimed, “Ah, I’m a step too late! Xiang Yi endorsed six different scents. If we only manage to get five scents, it won’t be a complete set!”
Xiao Hai was extremely aggressive on the Internet but he was actually very cowardly in real life, especially when facing his mother. He said straightforwardly, “Mom, we won’t be able to finish using five bottles of hand sanitizer!”
“You don’t know sh*t!” Xiao Hai’s mother rolled her eyes at him.
“…”
An enthusiastic and friendly lady beside him asked, “Hey, do you want to trade? My husband has already bought five bottles and we’re short of a vanilla-scented one. Just buy two bottles of vanilla-scented sanitizer later, and I will trade it with you for the scent you’re lacking!”
Xiao Hai’s mother’s eyes lit up. “Sure!”
Xiao Hai thought, ‘That works too?’
‘Women are really like dragons. They’re greedy and they love collecting things.’
Xiao Hai’s mother and the other middle-aged lady saw eye-to-eye with each other and they were acting like biological sisters. They exchanged numbers and began to chat about life. In no time, they even started talking about setting Xiao Hai up for a date with a girl.
“Your son is very handsome. He can totally marry Xiang Yi!” The lady joked.
Xiao Hai’s mother said righteously, “How can he be worthy of Xiang Yi?!”
Xiao Hai: ???
However, listening to the middle-aged and elderly women around him discussing about Xiang Yi with great joy, Xiao Hai suddenly realized that Xiang Yi was not only attractive to young people, but she also seemed to have a large number of fans who were middle-aged and elderly women…
He somehow felt a little ashamed for criticizing Xiang Yi for being a lowly influencer.
Xiao Hai filed a short video and posted it on his social media account.
