Chapter 148: Confused Parents

I bought a chicken, a pig's trotter, a fish, and half of the pig's head.

It's really a bumper harvest!

The basket is full!

In addition to the meat for the New Year, I also bought a lot of other things.

Two pairs of Spring Festival couplets, oranges, peach cakes, biscuits, chicken cakes, candies, twists, and peanuts are all necessary foods for the New Year at home.

Gu Siyan and Jiang Mingcha brought a lot of change with them before going out.

It just happened to come in handy today.

Mother Gu just looked at these two people as if money was not money. They wanted a little of this and a little of that.

My heart is really bleeding.

This young man spends money too ruthlessly!

But then I thought about it, she worked hard for a whole year and made less than one hundred yuan.

The combined monthly salary of Mingcha and Siyan was higher than her annual salary.

Not to mention that Gu Siyan would help people assemble radios and bicycles to earn extra money, and the money he earned from each order was no less than a month's salary.

Not to mention Jiang Mingcha, the cooperation with the garment factory makes money like water!

Forget it, they can use the money they earn however they want.

Besides, Gu's mother was behind them when they were paying.

I bought so many things for less than twenty yuan.

Their income is less than half a month.

When I thought about it, I felt like it was nothing.

It was almost noon when I squeezed out of the market after buying these.

Moreover, shopping consumes a lot of energy. It seems that I feel hungry even without doing anything.

What should I do if I'm hungry?

Yesterday they said they were going to eat at a state-owned hotel for Mingcha, and Mother Gu had been thinking about it.

But they just spent so much money, Gu's mother was really embarrassed to let them continue to spend money.

So as soon as she came out of the market, Gu's mother hurried out: "You are tired, let's go back, Mingcha, you need to rest."

"I'm not tired."

Jiang Mingcha was full of energy, her eyes were round and bright, and her whole person was full of energy. She didn't look tired.

Even Gu Siyu and Gu's father were so crowded that they ran out of energy.

Gu Siyan was okay, but obviously not as excited as Jiang Mingcha and Gu's mother.

Jiang Mingcha cleared her throat, women just love shopping!

Moreover, the things in the market are cheaper than those in the supply and marketing cooperative. In her opinion, it is as if they are free, so she just buys more.

"That's right. You must be tired after visiting the market."

When Mother Gu heard her daughter-in-law say she was tired, she quickly nodded, "Yes, I'm tired."

When you are tired, go back and rest quickly, don't spend any more money!

People like Gu's mother and others have been used to a hard life since they were young.

Spending money is really more uncomfortable than killing them.

The next second, Jiang Mingcha said with great interest: "Then let's go to a state-owned restaurant to have a meal and sit down and take a rest!"

It's delicious to eat farm food cooked in a wood-fired stove every day at home.

But occasionally she misses the craftsmanship of state-owned restaurants.

Thinking of the shredded green pepper pork served in a state-owned restaurant, covered with rice, she already started to swallow her saliva.

Mother Gu: "..." Okay, she will definitely rush to give you the money later.

After comforting herself in this way, Gu's mother immediately smiled.

Hey, she, Liu Jinfeng, is going to a state-owned hotel too.!

At the end of the year, everyone shared the money, and their hands were thicker than usual.

And many people like to talk about their partners at the end of the year. At this time, everyone is free, and there are more people eating in state-owned restaurants than usual.

Gu Siyan was tall and immediately spotted the empty table at the end and took up his seat.

Then asked Gu Mu and the others what they wanted to eat.

Although none of them have been to a state-owned hotel.

But I have never eaten pork, but I have always heard of pigs running away.

They all know that food in state-owned restaurants costs money and food stamps.

The cheapest ones are white steamed buns and clear soup noodles.

A bowl of clear noodle soup costs 8 cents, and a steamed bun costs 5 cents.

Father Gu: "I want a bowl of clear noodle soup."

Gu's mother glanced at Gu's father and knew that the man in her family was the most economical. She followed his order and said, "Then I also want a bowl of clear noodle soup. I'm not even hungry."

Gu Siyu: "I'll do the same."

"How can we all eat clear soup noodles?"

Jiang Mingcha frowned and poked Gu Siyan. ,

I finally had time to take Mother Gu and the others around the city during the Chinese New Year.

I'm afraid Gu's mother and the others have never been here in their entire lives. After the Chinese New Year, they are about to prepare to go to the provincial capital.

From now on, at least for the past five years, it would be difficult for them to take Gu Mu and the others out for dinner.

Since you want to eat, you must eat better.

According to Gu's mother's temperament, it's best to eat so that Gu's mother can go out and show off.

Gu Siyan understood in his mind, got up and went to the waiter to place his order.

"Two bowls of shredded pork noodles, two bowls of dumplings, one bowl of wontons, one shredded pork with green pepper, one green vegetable, one drawer of steamed buns, and two portions of rice. Can you give me a few more small bowls? Let's share it among our family members."

The waiter glanced at the table and saw that there were indeed many people there.

And seeing that they were all quite clean, he nodded: "Okay, tell the master when you get the food later, and I'll ask him to give you a few more bowls."

"Thanks."

When they came back after ordering the food, Gu's mother and the others quickly asked, "How much is it? I'll pay it, but you must not steal it from me."

Gu Siyan: "Already given."

Mother Gu: "???"

Jiang Mingcha wiped the table clean and explained softly: "Mom, here we pay first and then serve the food. It's okay. You and Dad have been busy for a whole year and haven't had much rest. It's right for Si Yan and I to treat you to a meal out."

"And we are going to the provincial capital soon. We won't be able to come back more than a few times a year, so we have to seize the time at home to fulfill our filial piety."

"We are all a family during the Chinese New Year. Don't push things around just for a little money."

Mother Gu felt dizzy from Jiang Mingcha's many words.

He would just sit there blankly, nodding, "Okay, okay."

Jiang Mingcha curled her lips and smiled. She looked at Mother Gu, Father Gu, and the others, who were clearly wearing better and newer clothes than most people here, but they were sitting awkwardly on the bench, looking around curiously and confusedly, and suddenly felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

Although caring for your father and mother are the elders.

But something came to Jiang Mingcha's mind: "We need to take the child to see the world more so that she won't be deceived by a high-end Western meal."

At that time, Jiang Mingcha, who had worked his way up from poverty all by himself, sneered at this sentence.

But now, seeing her parents acting like this, she felt that there was nothing wrong with this sentence.

And not only children, but also parents and elders.

"Mom, don't look at the big white walls here. It looks brighter than our home. To be honest, I think some of their dishes are not as delicious as yours."

Speaking of areas where Gu's mother is confident, Gu's butt no longer feels uncomfortable.

"What, what do I mean? Don't talk nonsense."

Jiang Mingcha smiled and said, "What am I talking about? You will know when the food is served."
