"Look, isn't that pear juice the one your student's parent gave us..." Teacher Qiu's husband pointed excitedly at the price list on the TV, but his voice abruptly stopped, as if stuck in his throat.
Teacher Qiu had already noticed because the pear juice was at the top, and it was the first thing she saw!
"Am I seeing things, how much is it?!" Teacher Qiu's husband stared at the TV wide-eyed; the number of digits was correct, three, without a decimal point!
"288!" Teacher Qiu read it out loud. She initially doubted her eyes, but looking at the prices below, 288 seemed cheap; some went directly over 400!
The couple exchanged glances and simultaneously looked at the gift box carelessly placed on the table, with one jar already opened, which Teacher Qiu drank.
Teacher Qiu had a bit of a cough initially, but after drinking the pear juice, her throat felt much cooler, less dry, and itchy, and she hadn't coughed since.
