Elaine nodded repeatedly and said with approval, “That’s right! Now housing prices are not going up, stocks are falling like dogs, and the price of gold is relatively firm!”
Saying that, somewhat embarrassed to look at Charlie, laughing she said: “Good son-in-law, you see mom has never played with gold bricks in her life, this thing shiny and heavy, feel quite good, why don’t you give me a piece, so that I can play with it when I have nothing to do?”
Claire listened to it with laughter and said: “Mom, you see you have nothing to do with the gold plate ……”
Elaine said with a righteous face: “Have not heard people say? All things can be coiled! This big gold brick, nothing to hold in your hand as a dumbbell can also strengthen the body!”
Charlie immediately laughed: “Mom you are right, you can hold it as a dumbbell for fun!”
Once Elaine heard this, she happily hugged the gold brick in her arms and said happily, “Thank you, my good son-in-law!”
Claire said: “Mom, this is the reward for Charlie, you should not take it just like that ……”
Elaine discontentedly muttered, “Claire, this is a gift from Charlie to Mom, it is Charlie’s heart, why are you always spoiling the fun here ……”
Claire seriously said, “I’m not spoiling the fun, I’m afraid you’ll do something demonic again ……”
Charlie persuaded Claire on the side: “Okay, Claire, Mom likes it, so let her take it to play, you do not worry.”
Elaine, holding the gold brick, said to Claire: “Claire, Charlie is fine with it, you should not nag here.”
After saying that, her eyes turned, looking at Charlie, smiling and said: “Charlie ah …… my good son-in-law …… that …… mother has to discuss a matter with you?”
Charlie to Elaine’s routine, has long been familiar with, he did not wait for her to showdown, then directly asked her: “Mom, you want to say that only one dumbbell is not convenient, there must be two, one in each hand for appropriate exercise?”
Elaine slapped her thigh and said excitedly, “Good son-in-law, you still understand me best! You say this dumbbell, it is not a pair right?”
“One in each hand so alternating up and down is called fitness, I only have one, maybe after a while one arm will be thick, one arm thin ……”
Charlie nodded, directly picked up another gold brick, to her arms, said readily: “Come! Take this away! Both of them! All for you!”
