Chapter 467 has been discovered.
Every month, Shen Zhixia would give Huo Chenzhou twenty yuan, which was Huo Chenzhou's pocket money, and he asked for the money himself.
He has low material desires and doesn't really need to spend money. He only occasionally uses the 20 yuan to buy breakfast or to eat out with colleagues. He pays for the meals, and basically everyone else is broke by the end of the month, so he also spends it all.
But then, he suddenly fell in love with fishing.
Although he only goes fishing a few times a month, he feels that fishing is a really good thing. He can sit there and wait for the fish to bite, and that feeling is really fascinating.
Shen Zhixia knew that she fished. Fishing wasn't a big deal, but after a while, Huo Chenzhou wanted to buy some better equipment.
Good fishing gear is also very expensive.
Huo Chenzhou didn't have much pocket money and couldn't afford it at all. He had thought about asking Shen Zhixia for help.
But……
Over the years, he has never asked Shen Zhixia for money. He also opposes buying such expensive things, because he thinks it's a waste of time and energy.
He was a frugal and righteous person.
It's wrong to think that you should spend a lot of money to buy this kind of thing!
But he's recently really fallen in love with it, so he has no choice but to save up to buy it.
He didn't have much money and had some necessary expenses, so he had been saving up for several months to buy this fishing rod.
This fishing rod is a high-end fishing rod, a custom-made bamboo fly fishing rod, which cost him a full seventy yuan.
Huo Chenzhou really liked it, but inwardly he despised himself for buying something so expensive.
With so many fishing rods, he could actually fish with just one that costs a few yuan.
He carefully put the fishing rod away.
Two days later, he even took out the fishing rod and carefully wiped it, which shows how much he really liked it.
He was always afraid that this matter would be discovered, but fortunately, Shen Zhixia was usually very busy and never found out about it.
This also relieved Huo Chenzhou.
But on this day, Da Bao and Xiao Bao came over again. Their school was having a picnic and they needed to buy some snacks.
Shen Zhixia knew about this news, so she gave them some money. They bought some snacks, but the two children were greedy and ate a lot of the snacks before even going on the picnic.
So she went to Huo Chenzhou and asked, "Dad, can you give us some money?"
Huo Chenzhou said, "Where would I get money?"
Since he fell in love with fishing, he has been buying all sorts of fishing-related things, so his allowance has long been insufficient.
Even if his friends invite him out to dinner, he won't go. After all, he doesn't have any money on him, so what's the point of going? He can't keep letting his friends pay.
Although his friends wouldn't mind, he started to feel embarrassed over time.
Da Bao said, "Dad has some secret savings."
The noise was quite loud, and Shen Zhixia, who was outside, heard it and asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"
Huo Chenzhou quickly covered her mouth and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing."
Shen Zhixia was probably busy with something and didn't take the matter to heart, nor did she come over.
But Huo Chenzhou was very nervous. He quickly said, "No, what are you going to do? Didn't we say this was our secret? That you were to keep it a secret forever?"
Da Bao opened his eyes and said, "Dad, you don't want Mom to find out about your secret, do you? Then give us some pocket money."
Huo Chenzhou said incredulously, "What did you say?"
Xiao Bao repeated, "Dad, if you give us money, we won't tell Mom."
Huo Chenzhou was genuinely amused and exasperated: "Such a small matter, are you trying to use it to threaten me for the rest of my life?"
He thought the matter was over, but the two kids brought it up again. They really are his good sons.
In the future, whenever they need his help, they will bring up this matter.
Huo Chenzhou was right; that's exactly what Da Bao and Xiao Bao were thinking.
Da Bao said, "It doesn't matter which thing it is, as long as it works."
Huo Chenzhou's hands were itching; he really wanted to spank them.
But in the end, he still gave them some money, not because he was threatened by them, but because as a father, he really should give them some pocket money.
That's right, that's the reason.
A few days later, Huo Chenzhou looked at another fishing rod. It cost over three hundred yuan and was imported, but he didn't have that much money.
He was extremely anxious and depressed every day.
His frustration wasn't because he couldn't buy fishing rods, but because he felt he didn't dare to buy them.
What did he buy such an expensive fishing rod for?
Back then, he also came from a poor background.
His father died early, and his mother raised him single-handedly. There were several other children in the family. His eldest brother was prone to illness, and it had taken a lot of money to treat him since he was a child. Everyone in the family regarded him as the eldest brother.
well……
He also felt that he should be frugal, having been frugal for so many years, but now he's actually spending a lot of money on fishing rods.
He was really careless.
Huo Chenzhou cursed himself in his heart.
Shen Zhixia heard him speaking softly, but couldn't hear what he was saying, so she asked curiously, "What were you saying just now? I didn't hear you clearly."
Huo Chenzhou quickly replied, "No, I didn't say anything."
"Really?" Shen Zhixia asked with some doubt.
Huo Chenzhou deliberately yawned: "I'm so sleepy, let's go to sleep."
"Oh well."
Shen Zhixia wasn't a suspicious person, so she didn't interfere.
They had a lot to talk about every day, so they shared some interesting stories about Huo Chunyan raising children before falling asleep.
It was another peaceful day.
On this day, Huo Chunyan suddenly came to visit Shen Zhixia's home.
Shen Zhixia was quite pleased: "You're in great shape this time. Even after your confinement period, you're still so slim. Bao Jun, on the other hand, has gained a lot of weight, and his face is rounder."
Huo Chunyan said, "I always give him all the leftover postpartum meals I can't finish, so he naturally gains weight."
“He looks better now that he’s gained a little weight. I think he used to be too thin,” Shen Zhixia said.
Sun Baojun is very good-looking, with the appearance of a handsome man, but he looks somewhat like a villain, not very righteous. Sometimes when he looks at you, his eyes are filled with a sinister charm.
But after spending more time with him, she discovered that he was an upright person. Now that he has gained weight, Shen Zhixia can actually see a kind and honest quality in him.
It's true that as long as someone gains weight, you can always see their kindness.
Huo Chunyan said, "The weather is nice today, let's have a barbecue in the yard."
She's been in postpartum confinement lately, and she can't eat this or that. It's like torture for her. Now all she wants to do is eat barbecue.
Shen Zhixia asked, "Can you eat this?"
“Yes, I can. I asked the doctor, and he said it’s definitely safe to eat. Besides, I’m a nurse myself, so you can trust me,” Huo Chunyan said.
Shen Zhixia thought for a moment and then said, "Okay, I want to eat it too."
Come to think of it, it's been a long time since she's had barbecue.
"The barbecue grill is in the storage room. I'll go get it now."
Shen Zhixia went to the storage room. She searched around but couldn't find the barbecue grill. Then she saw a box on the top of the grill.
When did this box appear here?
Shen Zhixia was curious, so she stepped onto the chair.
When Huo Chenzhou returned, he asked where Shen Zhixia was, but when he learned that she had gone to the storeroom, his expression tightened and he thought to himself: This is bad.
He rushed into the storeroom and saw Shen Zhixia heading towards the box on top, so he shouted, "Wait!"
