The naughty kid could sense the change in atmosphere, and his eyes gradually lost their luster.
He didn't dare to glare at the devil, for fear that he would say something unfavorable to him.
"Now, stand up immediately."
The middle-aged man pointed at the naughty kid and gave an unquestionable command.
The naughty kid noticed the anger in his father's eyes and stood up tremblingly.
"Pick one to buy and put the others back."
The man continued.
The naughty child didn't dare to act up anymore. He looked down at the pile of firecrackers and fireworks in his arms. After hesitating for a while, he chose a box of firecrackers that he wanted most and put the others back obediently.
The man also picked up the firecrackers he wanted to buy and asked the boss how much they cost together.
After paying the money, the father and son left together.
The naughty kid followed behind with his head down. The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. He felt that he would get a mixed doubles beating from his parents when he got back.
Normally, his family has a kind father and strict mother, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to act like that just now.
When my mother gets angry, she is much scarier than my father.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man glanced at him and asked, "Do you know you are wrong?"
The naughty kid looked up at his father and nodded.
"It's good to admit your mistakes and correct them. Forget it this time. I won't tell your mother."
The man said calmly.
"Really? Thanks Dad, I'll never do that again."
The naughty kid was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked and made a promise.
The middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction, feeling very grateful to the young man.
If the young man had not said those words, I might have compromised under the random persuasion of people around me and bought those firecrackers for the children.
If that happens, the money will be spent too much, and when you get home the house will be in chaos and your wife will be very angry.
Not only that, the son will not realize his mistake.
Just like what the young man said, if his son has tasted the sweetness of this method, there will definitely be a next time, and it will only be worse.
At the same time, Chen Wang didn't feel that he had done anything good.
He just followed his mood and did it.
In the era before the time travel, many children were like the naughty kid just now, or even worse than him. They were all spoiled by their parents and elders.
Chen Wang didn't have any children at that time, but he had seen children of relatives and friends. To be honest, he really didn't like them.
He thought again of the baby that was about to be born in his wife's belly, and sincerely did not want his child to be spoiled like that.
He will try his best to satisfy whatever the child needs and will not let his child lack anything compared to other children of the same age.
But that definitely does not mean indulging children without limits and allowing them to develop bad habits.
Just like the naughty kid just now, he used the kindness of people around him to force his parents.
Chen Wang would never allow such a situation to occur.
After Chen Wang selected the firecrackers necessary for the New Year, he also bought a lot of firecrackers for children to play with, such as throwing firecrackers, rubbing firecrackers, fairy wands, sky rockets, double-kick firecrackers, etc.
He bought almost everything available at the stall.
Everyone around was stunned, dumbfounded, with big question marks in their minds.
You just said those words, which made the naughty kid's throwing tantrum and rolling around fail, but you ended up buying so many of them yourself?
Is it because he is afraid that other people’s children will buy too much and snatch what he wants?
"Why are you looking at me like that? I bought it to play with myself, isn't that okay? A man stays young until he dies, have you heard of that?"
Chen Wang glanced at the surprised faces around him and spoke seriously.
He wasn't lying.
Before the time travel, many places banned the use of firecrackers during the New Year. Even when I went back to my hometown in the county town during the New Year, I was still not allowed to play with these.
Plus, I’m exhausted from working like a slave every year, and when I go home on vacation I just want to catch up on some sleep and have no desire to play with these firecrackers.
Everyone looked at each other, speechless for a moment.
"This comrade is right. Who says only children can play? Adults can play too."
The boss's eyes lit up, and he started to chime in with a smile: "When we were young, we had no conditions and no money. Now that everyone's living conditions are better, why can't we make up for the regrets of our childhood, right?"
"The boss said it well. This is called paying for your younger self."
"Oh, that's a beautiful thing to say, there's nothing wrong with it."
The two of them sang in unison, and many men around them were moved.
Some people even began to suspect whether this young man was a hired helper by the boss.
"Boss, I bought so much, can I get a discount?"
Chen Wang smiled and gave the boss a look.
The boss was stunned for a moment, his eyes swept across the faces around him, and he made up his mind, nodded with a smile and said, "No problem, I'll give you a 20% discount!"
After that, he shouted to the people around him: "It's not just this guy, everyone else too, as long as you spend more than 20 yuan here today, you will get a 20% discount."
After these words were spoken, the customers around became even more excited.
The 20 yuan order from the boss is also very good.
According to local customs, at least three firecrackers are needed for the New Year.
According to the prices of the goods on his stall, these three better firecrackers would cost a little over ten yuan together, which means that if you want a discount, you have to buy more firecrackers for children to play with.
The three firecrackers Chen Wang bought were the best and largest. He also bought a large number of firecrackers, which cost a total of 48 yuan, which is 38.40 yuan with a 20% discount.
"Boss, this is 38, the remaining 40 cents is for free, I don't have any change!"
Chen Wang counted out 38 yuan and handed it over.
"Okay, okay, I'll charge you 38!"
The boss readily agreed and took the money.
"Thank you, I wish you a prosperous business!"
Chen Wang smiled and gave his blessings.
"Thank you for your good words!"
The boss nodded with a smile on his face.
Afterwards, Chen Wang took a urea sack from the bicycle, put all the firecrackers and fireworks he bought into it, and tied it to the back seat with a rope.
When I looked up again, I found that the boss's business was even better, and customers were scrambling to choose firecrackers.
The boss was very busy, but he always had a smile on his face.
Chen Wang smiled, turned around and left with the cart.
After finally walking out of the bustling market, Chen Wang rode his bike all the way to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Unexpectedly, the supply and marketing cooperative was even more crowded than the market. It was packed with people and there were long queues outside.
When I think about it, it seems normal.
Currently, many daily necessities can only be purchased at supply and marketing cooperatives, and the supply and marketing cooperatives will probably be closed tomorrow, so it is understandable that so many people come here to buy things.
Chen Wang has a headache.
He came to look for Xiao Xu's father, but if he walked in like that, it would look like he was cutting in line, and he would definitely be scolded by the people waiting in line behind him.
But in this situation, if you queue up at the back, you might end the day before you get in.
Besides, he wasn't here to buy anything, so there was no need for him to queue!
