Chapter 1054: The children are so good

Everyone had their own worries, but over here, the group of people in the courtyard loosened their belts and tugged at the elastic waistbands of their pants, pacing around twice more, feeling as if they could go another round!

Especially the young netizens!

They had long since exchanged nicknames in the group chat, and now they called each other by those names. The undisputed leader was the top donor, 【I Still Want to Sleep for Five Hundred Years】.

For no other reason than that he was rich and generous with his tips, so everyone felt he might have more persuasive power with Teacher Qiaoqiao.

At this moment, Five Hundred Years touched the Peppa Pig sticker on his face and sighed: "Delicious... truly delicious... it's just, why is my appetite only this small..."

He watched as everyone efficiently dumped the remaining scraps into the bucket, his eyes filled with heartache.

Two female netizens were even more tearful: "You guys at least ate two bowls, but I was controlling my diet to lose weight... I felt full after just one and a half bowls!"

"What a sin! Weight loss isn't urgent, why did I have to choose winter to lose weight?"

To be fair, a bowl of rice served in a disposable bowl wasn't actually that much, but the key was, were they just eating rice?

They had eaten their fill of meat and then forced down two bowls of rice!

If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't grab anything else to eat later, and the hawthorn pills provided by the Song family to chew on, the group that came today would really have had to be carried out while holding onto the walls.

"Don't be sad!" someone comforted them: "Look, we made it here, and this trip was worth it, right? Why don't you look at the livestream?"

Comparing it this way, the two girls felt satisfied: "That's true. At normal prices, this meal of tea and meat would have cost at least several thousand per person, right?"

Everyone nodded in agreement: "Definitely, and it's priceless. Qiaoqiao said they don't sell any of it!"

"If I hadn't eaten this meal, I would never have known what top-tier delicacies the rich eat in my entire life."

This resonated deeply with everyone, especially one of the other girls who said: "I'm also glad I heard about another girl coming, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to come so far alone... I was really reluctant to spend the travel money."

Her salary was only four thousand, and she had won the spot in a lucky draw, so she had hesitated for a while and almost gave up.

Qiaoqiao happened to walk over and was stunned upon hearing this: "Is it very far? How far is it? How much does the travel cost?"

He was full of curiosity, because the last time he went on a long trip, he took a plane, which took three whole hours! The farthest place he'd been was Ning City, which took over four hours by car.

That was his concept of distance.

As for the travel cost... the last time he took a plane, Teacher Xin said they bought a budget ticket... which meant it was very cheap, only three hundred something...

Qiaoqiao was full of thirst for knowledge.

Wow!

The fair-skinned and handsome Qiaoqiao leaned in with a blank expression, and the group of men, women, old, and young all felt a sense of doting, as if they were raising a child who had finally grown up. The young lady softened her voice:

"It's several hundred kilometers away, and there's no direct route, so I had to transfer—two hours by train, five hours by high-speed rail."

"The round-trip ticket cost 1300."

Fortunately, the gang leader had warned them beforehand not to stay for more than a day, and not to bring too much luggage or money, so they didn't have to bring clothes... so the burden of travel wasn't too heavy.

However, people always felt uneasy if they didn't bring enough things when going out, so quite a few people still brought suitcases.

Qiaoqiao's eyes widened instantly: "1300?! That's almost a month's salary for me!"

As soon as he said this, everyone laughed: "Treasure, don't talk nonsense! You said your sister gave you a raise last time!"

"Exactly, exactly, fifty a day was in the past, it's gone up now."

Everyone joked around, and for a moment, they were all happy.

But strangely enough, Qiaoqiao was fair-skinned and handsome, and everyone looked at him with a natural aura of doting.

As for his sister...

The netizens subconsciously knew she was incredibly beautiful, but they didn't dare to think too much about it. Otherwise, the two young ladies at the scene wouldn't have missed the chance to take a photo with such a beauty.

Qiaoqiao was deeply moved: "Although it went up, it's still almost a month's salary! You all came to see me... children, you are so good to me!"

His eyes were almost brimming with tears.

Oh my.

Oh my.

This unexpected display of sentimentality made the group of young men feel awkward, and they stood there shyly with stickers on their faces:

"It's not..."

Before they could say anything else, Qiaoqiao had already turned and walked toward the house: "I'm going to talk to my sister!"

The children couldn't stop him in time, so they had to remain silent.

After a while, Five Hundred Years said: "But you have to say, this hawthorn pill really works well. My stomach doesn't feel so bloated anymore."

He looked forward with longing: "I wonder if Doctor Guo still has any of those mugwort sticks she made in the summer..."

Meanwhile, Song Tan was watching Lu Jing fix Wu Lan's eyebrows when Qiaoqiao came over, his eyes brimming with tears.

She couldn't help but be stunned: "What's wrong?"

Qiaoqiao choked up: "My children are so good. They spent a month's salary to see me. Will they have no money to eat next?"

Teacher Xin had said that most people's salaries were used to maintain their livelihoods, and when traveling, there were many places to spend money...

Song Tan:... There's no need to be so confident, looking at you is not as good as eating pork...

Lu Chuan also choked in the background, but when Qiaoqiao looked over, he just smiled: "Yes, but our Qiaoqiao is very good, and they are worth coming to see."

"Besides, didn't you give the children gifts too?"

Qiaoqiao thought about it, and that was true!

But that sticker only cost 9.9 for a sheet...

Just as he said this, outside the bedroom window, in a corner of the courtyard, the city leader who was also strolling around to digest his food looked into the distance and asked in a low voice:

"What kind of group is that over there? Their faces are all covered in flashy stickers."

His voice was very low, and he was asking his secretary, mainly because he couldn't afford to miss any hidden big shots. But it just so happened that this corner was the bedroom window.

Wu Lan also let out an "Ouch," and Lu Jing almost ruined the eyebrow!

They only heard her say: "Tan Tan, do you have any makeup remover? Give some to Qiaoqiao's fans later, don't let them leave with stickers on their faces, it's embarrassing for them..."

Qiaoqiao felt disappointed: "Yeah... Sister said adults can't keep wearing gifts, it's too direct."

Song Tan sighed: "Little ancestor... fine, fine, we'll reimburse their travel expenses, okay?"

Lu Chuan suggested: "Otherwise, don't reimburse the travel expenses. But is there anything edible we can pack for them as a souvenir?"

Based on his experience, those who were willing to spend the money and time to come, regardless of their salary, definitely didn't care that much about money.

Since that was the case, sending a suitable local specialty was better than reimbursing travel expenses.

Seeing Song Tan pondering, he knew that today's meal had cost too much, and there was too much to give away. So he gave another suggestion:

"If it really doesn't work, packing a basket of radishes and cabbage from the village is also fine."
