Although Hong Yanwu, Shui Qing and Shui Xiaoying are together, they have a tacit understanding and harmony.

We had a lot of fun playing together, as if we were born as a family of three.

But as the saying goes, no one can live at home without touching the edge of the pot with a spatula.

Even if we are really a family, there will definitely be times when we can’t deal with it.

No, during lunch, there was a bit of quarrel between Shui Qing and Hong Yanwu.

I'd love to go out to play today, although Shui Qing doesn't have time to prepare anything.

I also boiled some eggs and packed a small box of pickles last night.

According to her plan, she would come to the park today to buy some hot buns for the children, and some bread for the adults.

This is not because she is stingy, but because in ordinary people's homes these days, everyone is just making do with each other like this.

But Hong Yanwu didn't.

Seeing that it was almost dinner time, he insisted on going to "Lao Mo'er" to treat Shui Qing and Xiaoying to Western food.

His reason was that he hadn't invited Shui Qing to eat out yet.

Today Xiaoying recognized his new identity again, so for this extraordinary day, he had to celebrate it no matter what.

There is no need to ask more about the child’s position.

Not to mention being hungry already, Xiaoying must be firmly on the side of "Western food" just for the word "greedy".

But Shui Qing felt that eating in such an expensive place was too luxurious.

So in order to coax her child to give up her thoughts, she told Xiaoying.

"We still have a lot of animals to see. If we go out, the tickets will be invalid. In addition, we have to go back early in the afternoon. We can't stay too long. Dad will probably come over to see you. Don't you regret it if you can't see those animals?

?”

Unexpectedly, the child was not allowed to weigh the pros and cons, and Hong Yanwu easily ruined her frugal plan with just one sentence.

Hong Yanwu actually claimed that "Old Mo'er" is connected to the zoo. You can go there to eat directly from the park, and you don't have to buy a ticket when you come back. And if Xiaoying doesn't have enough fun, he is willing to bring him here next week.

The child naturally jumped up and down with joy after hearing this, and kept shouting "Long live".

As for Hong Yanwu, he picked up Xiaoying and left.

No matter how hard it was for Shui Qing to shirk it, he had no choice but to agree.

But I agree, but Shui Qing's plan is to be as frugal as possible.

She once heard someone say that two people could have a meal at "Lao Mo'er" for five yuan, and she had this "minimum consumption" in mind.

But she never expected that Hong Yanwu would take them to the side hall with ease.

After finding a table by the window with a great view and sitting down, I flipped through the menu and started ordering without even asking them.

Of course, it was also because she had never been to such a luxurious place.

She was dizzy from the moment she walked in.

All eyes were attracted by the luxurious and simple decoration in the restaurant, with orange tablecloths covering the tables and bright tableware.

When I sat down, I had to prevent the curious Xiaoying from reaching for the salt and pepper shaker and ashtray on the table.

As a result, she waited until she remembered the menu and asked about it.

The waiter standing aside had already collected the money, recorded the dishes and left.

She had no idea what Hong Yanwu wanted.

And then when the dishes were served, she was dumbfounded.

Because even if she is an outsider, just by reading the content, she knows that this meal is expensive.

A bottle of red wine, a whole grilled fish, a jumbo prawn, a rich soup with a milky aroma, sizzling grilled meat on a skewer, and a fried chicken exposed by cracking the bread.

She would probably have to pay several yuan for any of these dishes.

The most important thing is that she can't eat at all. This is what makes her most unhappy.

At that time, people had a problem with their consumption concepts, and they loved to show off.

Pay attention to asking for more dishes when treating guests, so that you can be generous and generous.

So she thought Hong Yanwu was like this too, and his face suddenly became ugly.

But the biggest difference between her and others is that she is very good at thinking about others.

I think Hong Yanwu's lavish spending was out of good intentions, and he didn't care about himself and his children.

She would never bring this up in public, lest she refute Hong Yanwu's face.

So her plan was to go back and pay back the meal money to Hong Yanwu, and then talk to him nicely.

But who is Hong Yanwu?

A person who is good at observing words and colors.

Without any effort at all, he could tell that Shui Qing was unhappy, and he could roughly guess the reason.

So when he poured red wine into Shuiqing, he deliberately teased her.

"Qing'er, you get wrinkles when you are angry. If you are unhappy, just say it. Don't hold it in your heart."

Shui Qingzheng was not angry and poked him coldly.

"Stop yelling and call me sister. I'm not unhappy at all. Just take what you have."

But a good girl is afraid of being harassed by men, so Hong Yanwu still persists in teasing her.

"No? Impossible. Your eyes can speak. It really embarrasses me."

Shui Qing finally couldn't hold it any longer, and after being amused uncontrollably, she finally admitted that she was unhappy.

"Don't blame me for disappointing you. You are too extravagant and wasteful. Why do you want so many dishes? Do you usually spend money like this?"

Shui Qing lowered her voice and scolded her, but she didn't expect Hong Yanwu to be happy with it.

"Sister, you are a good woman who knows how to live a good life. You care about me because you are really doing it for my own good. I am very happy."

Then he continued to explain while serving dishes to Shui Xiaoying and Shui Qing.

"However, you also misunderstood me. I know very well that doing things like this will only make you look down on me. If this is the case, no matter how much money you spend, it will not make you happy. Do you think I am that stupid?"

"Then you still..."

Shui Qing was surprised and didn't understand this contradictory statement.

Hong Yanwu added unhurriedly.

"I mean, what if this meal is within my financial affordability? I'm not pretending to be fat, so what do you think?"

Shuiqing changed his mind and thought of his family, thinking he had found the answer.

"Well... I know your family is very rich, but after all, you didn't earn it yourself? Think about it, we can't live with our parents all our lives, right? So it's not good to develop such a habit."

Unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu actually laughed again.

"Sister, you still don't understand. I mean the money I earned by my own ability. In fact, I have never spent the money given by my family..."

"Did you earn it yourself?"

Shui Qing couldn't help but be surprised.

Hong Yanwu works every day, where does he get extra money?

Then she thought of the endless fashionable clothes in the houses of Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan.

"You...you and Quanzi are not selling clothes, right? The work unit doesn't allow it..."

But Hong Yanwu saw that she was a little worried, so he avoided talking about the topic and did not give her a definite answer.

"Hey, don't be so surprised. Forget it, I will explain it to you slowly in the future. It's all legal income anyway, so you can rest assured. This is not the point now, let's talk about it first if I can

If we can afford it, let’s decide whether we should eat this meal or not.”

Shui Qing did not go to the bottom of Hong Yanwu to trace the source of his money. This is a sign of trust and tolerance for him.

But she also has her own attitude towards life, and she is very stubborn in this regard.

He just said it as a matter of course, "Of course not. No matter what, luxury and waste are bad. It is correct to be hardworking and simple, diligent and frugal. This is obvious, do you still need to ask?"

But she never imagined that Hong Yanwu would refute her with sufficient reasons.

"Then you are a bit arbitrary. First of all, what is the definition of luxury and waste? Look here, there are foreigners, cadres, and college students. Are they all the people who come here to eat?

Extravagant and wasteful? Or maybe their status is nobler than ours? They can eat, but we can’t?"

"this……"

Shui Qing couldn't help but get stuck, but she was also quick in thinking and quickly remembered the barely plausible reason.

"Then they didn't exceed their needs, right? It's not like you asked for so many dishes in one go. If you can't eat them, why don't you just leave them all?"

But this didn't bother Hong Yanwu at all.
