What's the point of making money if you don't spend it? He's not Grandet!
"Brother, why don't you buy me two clothes too?" After Cao Huifang heard what her sister-in-law said, she quickly came to her brother's side and wanted to discuss it.
"Don't you already make money yourself?" Cao Shujie said.
He said: "Fangfang, you are now a college student. In two years, you will graduate and enter the society. In a few years, you will have to think about starting a family and starting a business. You must learn to be independent from now on."
"Sister-in-law, you buy it for me!" When Cao Huifang heard her brother say this, she didn't bother to talk to him. He was really a jerk!
He turned around and hugged his sister-in-law's arm to discuss it.
Cheng Xiaolin held her sister-in-law's hand, glared at her husband angrily, and then said: "Okay, let me know which suit you like later, and I will buy it for you."
"Let your brother pay!"
"Haha!" Cao Huifang looked at her brother and smiled proudly.
With her sister-in-law's generous support, Cao Huifang felt confident and had to help her sister-in-law hold her niece.
But when Mengmeng saw her aunt reaching out her hand, she hugged her mother's neck tightly with both hands and refused to let go.
"Mengmeng, why are you as annoying as your father?" Cao Huifang muttered. Who knew that when Mengmeng heard what she said, she turned over again, covered her eyelids with her hands and stuck out her tongue, making faces to prevent her aunt from succeeding.
She was very proud.
Cao Jianguo and Wang Yuelan have never been to the Yiling City department store in their lives.
Not to mention this department store, they rarely go to shopping malls in the county.
To say that they earn less money and are reluctant to spend it in shopping malls is another matter.
But the old couple still offered up two college students to help their son with the down payment, and bought a small bungalow in the capital.
When spending money for Cao Shujie and his two siblings, hundreds of thousands are very enjoyable, but when spending money for yourself, even tens of dollars are too expensive!
Cao Shujie rarely went shopping with his parents in his last life. He didn't have the time, but now that he has time in this life, he wants to make up for it.
"Dad, how about you try on this outfit?"
In the middle-aged men's clothing area, Cao Shujie saw a casual suit that suited his father well, so he asked the waiter to get a suit in a size suitable for his father and asked his father to try it on.
Cao Jianguo felt his hands tremble when he saw the price on the sign. It was hundreds of dollars, but he didn't want it.
"It doesn't look good!" He casually found a reason to refuse.
Cao Shujie saw through his father's little thoughts at a glance and forced him to say: "Dad, hurry up and try it."
Seeing that his father still objected, Cao Shujie said to him seriously: "Dad, our family will get better and better in the future. Don't even buy you a set of clothes by then. I will buy ten or eight sets at will. You can change them every day."
One set will do!”
"It's nonsense, how could it be so wasteful!" Cao Jianguo scolded his son with a smile on his face, how could he be so wasteful, someone should scold him in the back!
But this time it was natural for him to try on clothes, and there was no psychological barrier.
He took the clothes and went to the dressing room next to him to try them on. His mother, Wang Yuelan, got closer and saw the price on the sign, and she muttered: "Shujie, it's too expensive. Why are you buying such good clothes? Why don't I go to a big store to give them to you?"
Your dad bought one."
"Mom, it's okay, don't you just spend the money you make? Let's go next door and buy you two clothes later." Cao Shujie said.
Cheng Xiaolin also advised her that she didn't value money so much. She always thought that a healthy family was all that was needed.
Therefore, when it was time to spend money, she was not picky at all, and when Cao Shujie wanted to invest, she was not afraid.
She felt that shopping like this was too inefficient, so she told her husband: "Shujie, you accompany our dad here to look at the clothes, and I will take our mother, Mengmeng and Huifang to look at the women's clothing."
"Go ahead, I'll go find you after I finish buying clothes later." Cao Shujie said.
They were about to leave when Cao Jianguo came out of the changing room after changing his clothes. When Cao Shujie saw it, his eyes lit up: "Dad, you are quite handsome."
"Nonsense!" Cao Jianguo said, but the smile on his face betrayed his mood.
As a normal person, who doesn’t want to dress up well?
Cao Shujie pointed to the mirror next to him and said, "If you don't believe me, take a look for yourself."
"Grandpa, it looks good!" Mengmeng is a good judge of goods and has a very discerning eye. She boasts that she has mastered this technique without any teacher, and she is very proficient in it!
Being praised by his granddaughter, Cao Jianguo felt even happier. He subconsciously walked to the mirror and turned around to take a look. Then he touched his face and saw that it was all stubble: "I'm old!"
When Cao Huifang saw her father like this, she couldn't help laughing loudly: "Dad, as the old saying goes, a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. You look really good when you dress up."
"Go, go, go buy clothes quickly, finish shopping early, and let's go home early and make delicious food." Cao Jianguo waved his hand and said.
Shopping is a woman's nature, and even this little guy Mengmeng is no exception. She can't move her legs when she sees beautiful clothes, no matter whether they suit her or not.
I have to take it over and try it.
The shirt her mother could wear could go from head to toe, and even affected her walking, but Mengmeng did not stop at all. She was so proud that she asked her mother if she looked good in it.
Then she asked her grandma if she looked good in her clothes. When she got to her aunt, Mengmeng realized that she was looking for the wrong person, turned around and ran away!
My clothes caught my feet and I almost fell.
The new clothes were stepped on and the waiter was a little embarrassed. Cheng Xiaolin didn't let her be embarrassed and bought them herself.
"Meng Meng, are you owed? I used to hurt you in vain." Cao Huifang said her.
Mengmeng won’t listen, haven’t you beaten me often enough?
After shopping in the women's clothing area, Cheng Xiaolin bought two pairs of clothes for her mother-in-law, which totaled nearly a thousand yuan. Wang Yuelan liked them from the bottom of her heart and was happy, but she felt that the price was too expensive.
She thinks that at this price, based on the frequency with which she buys clothes, she can buy new clothes for five or six years.
But when she thought of her daughter-in-law saying to her: "Mom, we can earn 500,000 this year and 1 million next year, so don't worry about wearing it!"
This made Wang Yuelan very relieved, feeling that the couple's hard work of more than 20 years had not been in vain.
"Grandma, shoes!" Mengmeng pointed to a pair of small black leather shoes and insisted that grandma try them on.
Cheng Xiaolin took a look and realized that these shoes were suitable for people of her mother-in-law's age group.
The problem is that Wang Yuelan often works at home and wearing leather shoes is too tiring and inappropriate. She almost never buys such shoes.
When her granddaughter pointed out that she had to try it on, Wang Yuelan thought it looked really good when she wore it.
Cheng Xiaolin said nothing, and the waiter compared the numbers and brought over a new pair.
Wang Yuelan looked at the shoes and remembered something: "Linlin, you also buy two sets of clothes for your parents. You can take them with you when you go there tomorrow."
Today is Saturday, and the day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin discussed going there tomorrow to see the old couple.
"Mom, okay!" Cheng Xiaolin nodded and responded.
Cao Huifang watched her eldest brother and sister-in-law buy clothes for her parents. She felt a little useless and secretly vowed to work hard in the future to earn more money. She could not just let her eldest brother and sister-in-law be filial to her parents.
After buying clothes and shoes, they went to the wine section and bought a box of Huiyuan's pressed peach juice and a box of Wuliangye.
When Cao Jianguo saw his son buying wine again, his first reaction was: "There is still wine at home, why did you buy this?"
"Dad, I gave all the wine at home to give away, and there isn't much left," Cao Shujie said.
Hearing what his son said, Cao Jianguo shouted: "There's no need to buy something so expensive, it costs more than 600 yuan a bottle."
Cao Shujie shook his head and said with a smile: "Dad, didn't I say before that I would definitely buy you better wine in the future."
"Let's drink this first this time and get you something else next time." Cao Shujie said.
Looking at his son Balabala, Cao Jianguo realized that his son had really grown up and became the backbone of the family.
"Leave a few bottles and drink them when your grandfather and uncle come back." Cao Jianguo said.
Just as he was about to leave, Wang Yuelan stopped her son again: "Shujie, you are really confused. Aren't you going to Mengmeng's grandma's house tomorrow? Why don't you buy a box of wine and take it with you."
"Oops, look at what I did, I'm out of my mind." Cao Shujie quickly asked the waiter to move another box of unopened Wuliangye, and they were all the same!
Cheng Xiaolin smiled, she felt very lucky!
It’s not that her husband is more capable or more profitable, but that she married into a family with a good atmosphere.
"Mom, I haven't seen you wear a gold bracelet before. At your age, it's good to wear a bracelet." Cheng Xiaolin said.
She said: "When we came here just now, I really wanted to see a gold bracelet that would suit you. Can we go and have a look?"
"No, no, what are you doing!" When Wang Yuelan heard that she wanted to buy jewelry for her, she quickly waved her hand and refused: "It's so expensive, and it's not a place to eat or drink, so what are you going to do with that wasted money?"
Mainly because I’m afraid of spending money!
The old couple have been used to saving money all their lives. To put it bluntly, they can support Cao Shujie and his sister Cao Huifang in going to college, and provide their son with the down payment to buy a house. They have saved all this money, stitch by stitch, penny by penny, for themselves.
I always save as much as I can on food, clothing and clothing, just about the same!
Cao Shujie's recollection made his parents let go of the past and live a better life.
Finally, I walked around the supermarket downstairs and bought some food, drinks, cooked food, and gift boxes for drop-ins. In Wang Yuelan's words, her son and daughter-in-law will need it when they go to their father-in-law and mother-in-law's house tomorrow!
After shopping in Yiling City and walking towards Caojiazhuang, the family was talking and laughing in the car. They were very satisfied and looked forward to the future.
After returning home, Wang Yuelan took out the mutton from the refrigerator, defrosted it and minced it into minced meat, preparing to make mutton dumplings for dinner at night.
In the blink of an eye, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival again, as if the Spring Festival was celebrated just yesterday. Wang Yuelan and Cao Jianguo had been looking forward to celebrating the festival, so that their children could come back and stay with them.
Now that they are all around, the old couple wants to slow down time. They don't know how long it will take before they may be too old to walk.
Mengmeng was holding a piece of jujube paste mooncake in her hand, and her mouth was obviously full, but she still kept stuffing it into her mouth, as if she had to stuff the whole mooncake in.
"Mengmeng, eat slowly, there is still a lot of it!" Cao Shujie said to her after seeing it.
But it was no use, Mengmeng didn’t listen at all and kept stuffing it into her mouth.
Half of the mooncakes in her hand were stuffed into her hands. She couldn't hold them anymore, so she chewed them hard and swallowed them slowly.
But if you eat too much, it will be hard to chew.
Cheng Xiaolin was helping her mother-in-law knead the dough. When she saw that her daughter's mouth was as stuffed as a snare drum, she quickly said to her husband: "Shujie, give her some water to rinse her."
"Okay!" Cao Shujie quickly poured a bowl of cold boiled water for his daughter and gave it to her to drink.
But as soon as her mouth touched the edge of the bowl, Mengmeng opened her mouth and spit out all the chewed mooncakes into the bowl.
Cao Shujie angrily raised his hand and slapped her: "Mengmeng, if you continue to be so wasteful, I will beat you up!"
But Mengmeng didn't care. She raised her hand and handed the remaining half to Cao Shujie: "Dad, here it is!"
Then he shook his head: "It doesn't taste good. I won't eat it. Dad, you can eat it!"
"..."
Damn it, why do you have such a filial daughter?
Cao Huifang saw this scene from the side, pointed at Mengmeng and laughed.
Wang Yuelan said to her: "Fangfang, you still have the nerve to smile, come and work."
"..." Cao Huifang felt wronged. She felt like she was a bit redundant in this family.
Cao Shujie was busy stewing the ribs, frying the chicken, frying some vegetables, opening a bottle of newly purchased Wuliangye, and pouring a glass of wine for his father: "Dad, the festival is coming soon, I want to toast you with another glass of wine and wish you the best."
We are getting better and better.”
"What a waste. It would be nice to open a bottle when your grandpa and uncle come." Cao Jianguo said this, but he had already sincerely picked up the wine glass and put it under his nose, swaying it back and forth a few times to smell the taste.
"Good wine!" he said.
Cao Shujie looked at his father's professional approach and laughed on the spot: "Okay, that's fine. I'll leave the rest for you to drink slowly. I'll buy it for you after you finish it."
Unexpectedly, her mother Wang Yuelan said: "Shujie, a box of wine costs thousands. It makes me feel bad to think about it. Don't buy it for him. It will be a waste of drinking."
"Mom, what's wrong with my dad drinking some wine? I'll buy him something better later." Cao Huifang behaved like an unconvinced child.
Seeing that her brother and sister-in-law had bought so many things for her parents, she vowed to herself that she would buy better things for her father in the future.
Time is a good thing, but it is a pity that we cannot seize it.
The whole night is like a loach with slippery fingertips. You think you have a firm grip, but if you don't pay attention, it slips out from between your fingers and falls into the mud and disappears.
After getting up in the morning, Cao Shujie led the four dogs out of the house and went with his father for a walk in the orchard on the mountain. He spread enough grass and feed for the calves and watched them eat and drink.
They all lay lazily on the hardened ground to bask in the sun, and Cao Shujie felt very happy.
When they were first brought here, these calves weighed less than 300 kilograms, but one month later, they were served delicious food and watered with nutrient solution, and the weeds watered by the nutrient solution were also provided. Every cow looked bigger.
.
"Grow up quickly. When it grows up, I'll kill one and try it." Cao Shujie muttered.
When Cao Jianguo heard what his son said, he wanted to kick him: "You're worthless!"
