The tall and tall Xue Yang came back covered in sweat. He explained with a smile: "The coach asked me to run three thousand meters, and I ran to five thousand meters in one breath! Oh my god! I was dripping with sweat. It was really fun!"
Xue Ling smiled fondly, turned around quickly, poured a large glass of water, and handed it to him.
"The weather is still a little hot. If you sweat too much, you need to drink more water."
Liu Yingdao: "It's time to eat, don't drink too much!"
Xue Ling explained: "It doesn't matter, my stomach is empty now. After drinking the water, it will be expelled from the stomach soon. We will eat again after a while."
"There are still two dishes that haven't been fried yet." Dad Xue said, "A Yuan is probably waiting for Yang Yang, so he deliberately slowed down."
Xue Ling's eyes flashed slightly, not daring to explain too much.
My husband always does things quickly and is a master at cooking and cooking. Apparently, he had something on his mind after hearing the "bad news" she just said, so he was unmotivated and slow in his work.
Liu Ying was feeding Xiaohan and coaxing her.
Xiao Xin and Xiao Chong placed the bowls and chopsticks, while Xue’s mother prepared the porridge to dry.
The elderly at home are getting older, and their stomachs are not as good as before. Now they no longer make dry rice for dinner, but usually just white porridge with millet.
Xue Yang took a big gulp of water, rolled his eyes, and pulled Xue Ling out.
"Mom, I have a little thing to ask for your help with!"
Xue Ling looked at his son, who was a full head taller than him, and asked in time: "What little thing? What good things can you do?"
"Ouch! My biological mother!" Xue Yang muttered aggrievedly: "Your disgusted eyes hurt me so much!"
Xue Ling hummed and asked, "What on earth is going on? Tell me."
Yangyang took her arm and whispered coquettishly: "Well... I have taken a fancy to a new pair of sneakers. Mom, do you know that I fell in love with them at the first sight! Oh my god! How can there be such a cool thing in this world?
Such handsome shoes! My old sneakers are almost worn out, but it just appeared at this time. Do you think it is God’s most ingenious arrangement? It must be!"
"Oh?" Xue Ling glanced at his big feet and asked with a smile: "How much does this 'God's most ingenious arrangement' cost?"
Xue Yang slowly shook his head: "Mom, if you ask for money as soon as you hear about such cool shoes, it is simply an insult and blasphemy. I put it deep in my heart to support, appreciate, and use it.
I love it with my heart and soul."
"Very good!" Xue Ling turned around and said softly: "Then continue to love it with your heart and soul."
"Mom!" Xue Yang hugged her and smiled flatteringly: "I originally thought so too, but the reality is always so cruel that I have to give in to the vulgar and omnipotent money."
Xue Ling pushed his big head away in a funny way, laughing and scolding: "It stinks! Get away! Since you have been convinced by the vulgar money, let me advise you, work hard to be the master of money, and don't become its slave."
"
"Mom!" Yang Yang said bitterly: "I'm not yet an adult, I'm still a half-grown child, and I don't know how to make money! You are the master of the almighty money, please save me, a money slave! Please save me.
!”
Xue Ling narrowed his eyes and snorted: "Where is your New Year's red envelope money? Grandpa, grandpa, grandpa, uncle Zhilan and the others, and uncle Aheng, there are more than a thousand! You were also the master of money, how come you are now reduced to
To a land enslaved by money?”
Xue Yang chuckled and laughed, and whispered: "Um...for my classmate's birthday, we went to eat fast food together, which cost more than three hundred. I bought a small game to install on the computer, which also cost me a lot."
"Small games?" Xue Ling raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are there several kinds?"
Xue Yang muttered in a low voice: "It's just a little expensive. There are many varieties, so just put them together and you'll have more."
“Haha!”
"...Yes." Yangyang pretended to be tragic and said: "I was impulsive and didn't think too much about it. I just spent it like this. I ended up with heartache and heartache and regret for a thousand years!"
Xue Ling sneered: "Is it a thousand seconds?"
"Mom! Mom! My good mother!" Xue Yang hugged her arm and hummed coquettishly: "You are the best and best mother in the world! I do regret my impulse to buy too many games, but the end is done.
, rice has become rice, and now I can do nothing. I promise you, this is the last pair of sneakers this year. As long as I have them, I will not regret it this year!"
"Pull them down!" Xue Ling said with a mocking smile: "You are a destroyer! You wear out several pairs of shoes a year! How much does a pair cost?"
Yangyang immediately burst into laughter and raised two fingers excitedly, "Only three hundred and fifty-nine yuan!"
Xue Ling squinted his eyes and said bluntly: "Get out!"
"Mom!" Xue Yang shook his head again and again, and whispered pitifully: "It's a famous brand...it's the latest version this season..."
Xue Ling shook his head: "Have you forgotten what mom told you? Huh?"
Yangyang shrank his head and whispered: "No."
"No? Repeat it to me."
"Don't be too particular about food, drink, housing and transportation, let alone brands or famous brands. Just use something that is suitable and comfortable. Never buy expensive things, only buy the right ones. Before you can make money independently, you are not allowed to buy more than the value of more than 100 yuan.
Money things, unless you have money."
Xue Ling nodded with satisfaction and said: "The New Year's money is given to you by your elders, and you have the right to deal with it. Whatever you buy for games, as long as it does not violate the premise of safety and non-violation, my family will never interfere or object. But
If you want to apply to buy something from me, you must meet my standards for you."
Since the birth of the child, the family's economy has been getting better year by year. The elders think that the family is in a good situation and they can buy whatever the children want. But she and Cheng Tianyuan don't think so, and they urge the elders to buy other things besides the New Year red envelopes.
Do not give money or buy things to your children during this time.
Whatever the children need and what they want to use, they should come directly to their parents to explain the reason and price, and then wait for their parents' approval.
Money is not easy to come by. Even if your children don’t know how to make money yet, you must let them understand this truth.
As long as you can save, you must save, never waste a dime, and try not to spend anything you can.
At the same time, she never takes her children out to buy lavishly or eat and drink. As the children get older, they eat out less often.
The idea she instilled in her children was that making money is not easy, so you should save as much as you can.
"But..." Xue Yang muttered: "Those shoes are really what I like! Mom, you don't know, those shoes are really beautiful! They are so cool!"
Xue Ling smiled and whispered: "There are so many beautiful things in the world. Most of the brand clothing or shoe stores on the market now launch new products every quarter. This quarter is so cool, what about next quarter?
?Of course there will be better and cooler stuff coming out. Can you buy everything? Is that possible?"
"Impossible." Yang Yang curled his lips.
Xue Ling entered the room opposite, took out her purse, took out a hundred yuan and handed it to him.
"As long as you are willing to give up those cool sneakers, Mom will give you the highest standard today and let you make arrangements."
Xue Yang rolled his eyes, gritting his teeth as if he had made a heartbreaking decision.
"...Okay! Thank you, Mom."
If he buys a pair of durable and comfortable Huili, he will probably have more than thirty yuan left. This money is enough for him to buy a lot of snacks to eat! Forget it, no matter how cool the sneakers are, there will be even more cool ones next quarter. It is better to come now.
Be practical and make something delicious to soothe your internal organs.
Xue Ling patted his arm and said warmly: "Put the money away, wash your hands and eat. Remember, you must wash your hands after taking cash."
