Chapter 287: A Little Lesson

Dabao and Erbao didn't expect that their father was so easy to talk to. Even Dabao looked at Huo Beichuan with bright eyes.

Chen Jintao was not in a hurry. She knew her family and her husband would not spoil the children that much.

Sure enough, Huo Beichuan came out after a while, holding several thick red envelopes in his hands, and divided them equally between the two children.

The two children didn't notice anything wrong. After all, there was no visible change in the thickness of the red envelope.

Erbao couldn't wait to go out and buy candy, so he directly opened a red envelope, and the coupons inside were revealed.

Chen Jintao: ...

You have to know that Erbao is quite picky about food. There are ten coupons in this red envelope, which is equivalent to ten cents. If he were to buy fruit candies, he could really buy a lot of them. But Erbao doesn't like fruit candies. He only likes White Rabbit milk candies and some imported candies. Of course, this is also because the family subconsciously wants to give the best things to the two children. How could he like fruit candies when there are so many wonderful things in front of him?

One cent can buy you a White Rabbit candy at best, and several red envelopes combined can’t buy you much.

Everyone else in the family rolled their eyes at Huo Beichuan, realizing that he was really good at coaxing children.

Huo Beichuan didn't care at all, and said to Dabao and Erbao, "Look, mom didn't stop dad from giving you red envelopes, which means mom actually agrees. Mom and I think you are really not young anymore, and you should learn to spend money on your own. In fact, many children of your age can't spend so much pocket money at once, so you need to use this pocket money for a month, which is about four school holidays. Are you sure you want to spend it on your own?"

Dabao and Erbao obviously did not realize the importance of the matter. They naively thought that so much money could buy a lot of things.

Regardless of what kind of lesson the two children will learn from this matter, Chen Jintao is still quite satisfied with the way her man handled it.

I don't know what's wrong with the brains of these two children, but they have been very smart since they were young. Of course, they occasionally use this cleverness on their family members. Having too many ideas is not a good thing for children of such a young age. This time, I will just take it as a small lesson for the two children to let them distinguish between the big and small ones in the family.

When the two children called their friends to go to the nearby street store to buy things, Huo Beichuan just watched from a distance and did not interfere in the children's affairs.

Before going to the grocery store, Erbao said he would treat all his good friends to candy, but after they got the things they bought, the two children were dumbfounded.

It’s just this little?

Erbao could hardly hold back his tears, and looked at his brother, hesitating whether to cry or not, "Brother, you have so much money, why are there only so few things? After sharing with the kids, we won't have anything left, wuwuwu..."

Well, in the end I couldn't hold back and burst into tears.

Dabao's mind was itching, and he was a little confused about the current situation, but he still insisted, "You promised others that you would treat them to candy. If you don't give it to them, they won't play with us anymore!"

Erbao thought about it carefully and felt that he was more afraid that the other children would not play with him, so he shared the White Rabbit milk candies with a few of the other children he played with well.

Fortunately, this small shop had just opened and there were no more expensive imported candies in it, otherwise there probably wouldn’t be enough for all the kids to share.

After getting this result, Erbao lost interest in playing and went straight home after separating from his friends.

They saw their father waiting for them from a distance, and the two children ran towards Huo Beichuan almost at the same time.

Huo Beichuan pretended to know nothing, "How was it? Did you have fun with your friends?"

Erbao shook his head, "Dad, why do we have so much money but can only buy a little candy?"

The little guy pointed his little finger and made a "a little bit" gesture.

"Isn't this normal? The snacks you usually eat are not cheap. It takes a long time for your mother to earn money to buy them for you. It's because your mother is awesome that you can often eat the snacks you like. Other children can only eat them once in a long time. What? I gave you the money as you requested, but you still seem unhappy?"

The second baby was crying, but the eldest baby felt something was wrong. The key was that he couldn’t tell what was wrong, so he could only go home with his father.

Once the family saw the expressions of the two children, what was there for them to not understand?

They all looked at Huo Beichuan, thinking that this father was too unkind, but it seemed that there was nothing wrong with him. After all, they were children. If they were not allowed to know that money could be spent without restriction, such things would probably happen again in the future.

After this, I guess both kids won’t want to spend their own red envelopes anymore. The result is still pretty good.

Erbao went to complain to the elderly people in the family who loved him the most, and even Grandpa Shen felt very distressed.

This is the only ancestor in the family. Generally speaking, no one will say anything about what he does.

Sure enough, after giving the children a big red envelope for the New Year, Mr. Shen gave each of the two children a ten-yuan unity note because he felt sorry for them.

This time, Erbao didn't dare to take the money himself, and took the initiative to give it to Chen Jintao for safekeeping.

Dabao also did the same thing, but he reacted a little when he gave the money to Shen Jintao.

"Mom, why is the money our great-grandfather gave us bigger than the money our dad just gave us?"

Chen Jintao glanced at her man and said with a smile, "This is the big money your great-grandfather gave you alone. The red envelope before contained small money like that."

Dabao pursed his lips, obviously not quite believing what his mother said, but his little brain still couldn't come to its senses immediately.

Huo Beichuan was very satisfied with the result. At least after getting the money, the two children no longer went out happily to buy things.

After the two children made such a joke, it became completely dark.

We don't see much snow here, so other than the cold weather, it's pretty much the same outside as usual.

Mr. Shen is old now, and he can no longer stay up with the children like he used to, so he goes back to his room early to sleep.

Others are waiting for the new year with full energy.

The whole family was watching the time. At the first moment of the New Year, the sound of firecrackers rang out in the yard. Dabao and Erbao, who were originally drowsy, woke up completely.
