Chapter 43 How can a good student not have a pair o
(Thanks to the two good brothers 1770 and Changan for their rewards)
Mrs. Smith is no longer in Greenwich. Before Christmas came, she had gone to the old house for vacation.
The reason why Love Smith didn’t go with his wife, one was because the school still had classes, and the other was because he had to wait for his son to go with Bella.
“By the way, Dad, where are those things I bought?”
Mr. Smith looked up at the rear mirror of the car, and said, “I was taken to the old house by your mother. I gave it to your little elf as you requested.”
Love has always respected his son’s various decisions. He doesn’t think that his son is just a child. As a professor at a university, he has seen too many geniuses who are wise enough when they are very young. Solve and deal with my own problems, so I don’t feel strange about my son’s precocity.
Anyway, his son is a wizard. As long as he doesn’t want to destroy the world, what he loves to do, what are his parents doing so much? It also disgusts the child.
There was that time, it’s better to have a two-person world with my wife.
This kind of free-raising attitude of raising children brought Jon a lot of freedom in life.
Can you imagine the happiness of life that is not restricted by your parents and supported by your parents?
No, you can’t even imagine that kind of happiness.
“That’s right, Dad.” Jon rubbed the ring on his hand: “How much money do I have?”
“No one has touched your pocket money, it’s all in your account.”
Mr. Smith turned the steering wheel and turned into his garage. After he parked the car, he asked again, “What are you asking for?”
“I want to customize a Christmas gift for myself.”
Regarding this question, Jon didn’t explain much.
When Bella arrived at her uncle’s house, she used the Floo network to go home alone. She usually walked alone by herself, while Jon and Mr. Smith had to arrange their home to go to the old house.
It’s Christmas after all, so I have to decorate it somehow.
It is not necessary for Jon to arrange the home affairs. There was only a little ribbon. Mr. Smith could solve it alone. Jon took advantage of his father’s dinner and went out alone with the money clip.
This neighborhood of Jon’s house is still close to the University of Greenwich, and the nearby business market is still very developed, and Christmas is even more lively.
But this kind of excitement is not attractive to Jon.
He is a person who has experienced double eleven.
Walking down the street for a while, Jon carried a candy cane in his hand, and then walked into a handmade custom shop that seemed to have no customers.
This shop has been open for many years, and the shop is an elderly Chinese man with good craftsmanship. Jon always came here to play when he was very young. At that time, he saw this old man doing things, so he treated him Always remember very clearly.
As the name suggests, the handmade shop can do everything as long as the requirements are reasonable.
The purpose of Jon’s coming out was actually to replace his monocle with a new frame and turn this pair of glasses into a pair.
Although he is not short-sighted, it is really weird to wear a monocle. The world of wizards is also developing, and monocles have indeed been eliminated for a long time.
Pushing open the door of the custom shop, Jon walked to the front of the counter and woke up the old shopkeeper who was napping behind the counter.
“Grandpa Jin, Merry Christmas.”
The old shop owner is not angry about being woken up by Jon. Older people always like children. As an old acquaintance, he also likes Jon very much.
“Is little Jon here to wish Grandpa Merry Christmas?”
The old man put on the glasses hanging on his chest, and then squinted at Jon.
“No.” Jon shook his head slightly: “I’m here this time to let you make a frame for me.”
He took the monocle from his pocket and placed it gently on the silk cushion on the counter.
“Oh, this is a very old style. Is it an antique in your family?”
The old shopkeeper put on the gloves set aside and carefully grasped the support frame of the lens.
“What do you want to make the new frame? Is it just for maintenance? I have many frames for you to choose from.”
Jon had no idea.
He just wants an ordinary pair of glasses. The glasses don’t need to be good-looking, they just need to be ordinary enough.
“You are really going to cause problems for the old man!”
The old shopkeeper chuckles, and pushes out a small box that fits the lens size next to his hand: “Come on, look at these frames, do you like them?”
Jon picked it up, but picked out a shelf, but it was not ordinary at all, it was amber, with patterns carved on it. The most important thing is that there is a small buckle where the lens is placed, which can be broken. Will not damage the lens during installation.
Although the lens does not look much, it has a number of magic circles carved on the outline, and it is filled with colloids cultivated by magic plants in the forbidden forest. It is not visible on the surface, and the inside is really very delicate. It’s broken. If you want to fix it, Helga has to do it himself, and it can’t be done for a while.
So Jon caught this frame at a glance, UU reading www.uukanshu. After watching a lot of com, I feel that there is something new and unusual.
and so…
“How much is this frame?”
Jon took the brown shelf in his hand and played with it, and a little magic escaped, and he stuck his fingertips into the frame of the mirror.
There was no response, the magical power seemed to be wrapped around the frame of the mirror, and then randomly dissipated in the air.
It really is.
The old shopkeeper didn’t expect that Jon would pick this one out in the end.
“This frame is normal, I thought you would choose the black one.”
Jon smiled, and replied: “My age is really not suitable for black, but this amber is more suitable.”
“You look good, but this frame is not cheap.”
“It’s okay, I brought the money.”
Jon shook the money clip in his hand: “But I have to trouble Grandpa Jin to help me fit another lens.”
“Of course, of course.” The old shopkeeper moved faster and had already taken a round lens and polished it against the lens Jon had brought.
The only advantage of the handmade shop is that Jon can watch it all the time, and his lens will not be damaged. As for the frame that is broken, he doesn’t really care.
If he didn’t have a suitable spectacle frame, he still brought a suitable piece of magic wood, ready to book a frame here.
But since there is a suitable one, it is naturally good.
The old shopkeeper’s craftsmanship makes perfect, and the lenses are polished quickly.
After waiting for two hours, Jon finally put on his new glasses.
“It’s kind of like a good student.”
He looked at himself in the mirror and said.
