Two weeks ago was my daughter’s birthday, I checked
with her what kind of birthday gift you want this year. As you know every year
of the day, we prefer to buy one gift which is very useful and more valuable,
on the one hand to helping her life easier, on the other hand to make her
happy.
She sent me message by wechat, she wants to change one
bigger washing machine, she sent me the link of item, wow, and washing machine
cost is at least 5 to 6 thousands, I know her machine is pretty new and nothing
wrong, how about the old one? No enough space for two machines at her
apartment, I have one child in my family, since each of her birthdays we tried
to satisfied her need, but this was really to my surprised, I had been kindly
refused her request, I asked her politely, could you change other one instead,
due to the current machine can be still used. My daughter was so understand and
said, May I ask for a Dyson hair dryer? I thought the dryer could be no
problem, ok I said immediately.
I see Dyson is a very famous brand of England. Recently
years Dyson products have been into Chinese families gradually, I have a Dyson
cleaner wireless which is very popular right now, which is breaking the old one
with long wire and big noise. After I checked the price of dryer, the cost is
about three thousands each, surprised me, One dryer is cost a lot, but how can
I refused her again at the birthday, I called her warmly, let me asked you one
question before I bought for one, how often you can use it? You have no long
hair, every morning you curry up for work, I believe you don’t have much time
for your hair on each day, so it is not good one, I did not mention the price
is a little beyond my budget.
She kept silent and said nothing, I knew she was very disappointed,
but she has to know my point is reasonable. The birthday was coming, I told the
thing to Tiger, He was totally agree my suggest. He transferred money to her
account in cash instead of the gift, Money is only a number, tell nothing, I
know she must be complain my action.
At the last week, I went to a barber for my hair, the
hairdresser was using a Dyson dryer for me. It is so elegant with some
different function of heads. He told me I was the first guest using new Dyson
dryer, this was my first time to see it, I thought that’s why my daughter like
it so much.
I promised I will buy it for her at next birthday to
cover my regret.
