Seeing his girlfriend's expression change, Sun Hao immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing.
He quickly stood up and walked over, "Wife, I spoke without thinking."
"I said the wrong thing. I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Zhou Xiaoyu sighed softly, "Let's eat."
After saying that, he picked up the spoon and prepared to feed Sun Haosheng.
"I'll do it, I'll do it!"
Sun Hao quickly took the spoon and served a bowl of rice to his girlfriend, then served himself.
After sitting down, Zhou Xiaoyu helped Sun Hao pick up a piece of pork ribs.
"Try it and see if it's delicious. I stewed it for a long time this afternoon."
“It’s delicious.”
Zhou Xiaoyu said coquettishly, "Hate it, you didn't even taste it."
Sun Hao smiled and said, "It's mainly because everything you cook tastes good."
"Wife, I really won't spend this much money on ribs in the future. These ribs must cost fifty or ten yuan, right? It's enough for our water bill for a month."
Zhou Xiaoyu muttered, "I know."
"I just saw that you seemed particularly tired recently, so I thought of making you something delicious to replenish your body."
Sun Hao smiled and said, "I'm fine. I'm on duty at the restaurant. Our restaurant has all kinds of delicacies."
Speaking of this, Zhou Xiaoyu became even more depressed.
"Hao, are you planning to let me eat your leftovers for the rest of my life?"
Sun Hao was stunned and waved his hands quickly.
"I...I didn't mean that. Don't worry, wife, I always check it carefully when I pack."
"I only pick up the food that others have eaten a few bites of or not eaten at all. I don't touch the rest."
"Like this cake, they didn't even eat it, it was all wasted, and that's when I thought..."
Zhou Xiaoyu interrupted her boyfriend.
"I know what you mean. I hate extravagance, too."
"But these are other people's leftovers after all. It's okay to eat them once or twice, but we can't eat other people's leftovers all our lives."
Sun Hao was a little embarrassed. "I... I just felt that I happened to be working in the hotel, so I was close to the water and got the moon first. Besides, I can't stand seeing waste..."
Zhou Xiaoyu didn't want to continue arguing with Sun Hao on this issue, otherwise the two would start arguing again.
"Have you received your salary today?"
Sun Hao nodded quickly.
He took out an envelope from his pocket.
"It's the same as last month, that's all I got. I was late twice, so I was deducted 100 yuan."
Zhou Xiaoyu took the money and counted it carefully.
Finally, he stood up to get his newly-paid salary and counted it carefully.
After counting the money, he put it on the table in frustration.
"I won't count anymore."
"Every time I get paid, Ma Xiao has to pay for water, electricity, and rent. After deducting our daily expenses, there is almost no money left."
"Hao, if this continues, when will we be able to save enough money to buy a house?"
Sun Hao lowered his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Let me tell you, we have another meeting this afternoon. Starting next month, there will be another round of house price increases."
“It’s going to go up again?”
Sun Hao glared: "House prices are already so high, and they are still going up? Are you crazy?"
"In big cities at this time, housing prices change every day."
Zhou Xiaoyu explained dejectedly: "We have been in Shanghai for several years. But we have not saved any money so far."
"You and I are from ordinary families, and our parents can't help us at all. If we continue like this, we will never be able to save enough for a down payment in our lifetime."
Seeing Zhou Xiaoyu's eyes red, Sun Hao quickly smiled and waved his hands.
"No, no, don't worry, I will work harder in the future, and I will definitely save enough money to buy you a house."
"Your living room?" Zhou Xiaoyu stared and shook her head.
"I'm not trying to discourage you, but do you know how much it costs to buy a single-room apartment now?"
"We can earn this much for decades without eating or drinking."
Sun Hao said awkwardly: "Then let's buy a one-bedroom apartment as a transition."
Zhou Xiaoyu asked: "Then let me ask you, if it is a one-bedroom apartment, what will I do if I have children in the future?"
"After we have a child, if our parents come to look after the child, where will they live?"
Sun Hao was stunned and smiled bitterly.
"So how many rooms do you want to buy?"
Zhou Xiaoyu fell down the road.
"It's not that I want to buy a few bedrooms, but the two of us can't even afford the down payment for a one-bedroom apartment right now."
Sun Hao asked: "Wife, what's wrong with you today? Why do you feel a little off?"
Zhou Xiaoyu looked up at Sun Hao and said with coaxing eyes.
"Hao. I want to go back to my hometown."
"Let's go back to our hometown. Let's not stay in Shanghai anymore."
"After we return home, we can buy a smaller two-bedroom apartment with our money. After paying the down payment, we can pay the rest back slowly."
"I really don't want to work like a slave here every day."
"I don't want to eat other people's leftovers every day. I don't want to live in a house where I can't even turn on the air conditioner. I also don't want to haggle with the vegetable vendors for a long time when I buy vegetables and eat."
"I am a woman, and a young woman at that. I want to date you, and go out to eat with you occasionally. I also want to go shopping and buy the clothes and cosmetics I like..."
"But if I stay here, I... can't do anything."
As she was talking, Zhou Xiaoyu suddenly burst into tears.
Sun Hao opened his mouth and said awkwardly: "Wife, what's wrong with you?"
"Wasn't it your dream to come to Shanghai?"
"When I said I would go back to my hometown, it was you who insisted on staying in Shanghai."
"You said that there are many opportunities in big cities, and if you buy a house, you can stay here. In the future, our children can jump out of that small place and get a hukou in a big city. They can study and compete with people in big cities and have a bright future..."
Zhou Xiaoyu suddenly looked up and cried towards Sun Hao.
"I regret it now. I don't want to stay here anymore. I can't hold on any longer, okay?"
After saying that, she stood up and ran into the bedroom crying.
Sun Hao sat there in a daze, looking at the table full of food without eating a single bite, with a bitter expression on his face.
Especially looking at the cake that I brought back with great care.
Sun Hao's expression became even more depressed.
Zhou Xiaoyu likes to eat cakes, but at that time they were reluctant to spend money to buy them.
That's why Sun Hao was so excited when he saw some leftover cake from a birthday party in the restaurant today.
He even thought of Zhou Xiaoyu's excited expression when he came back.
But I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.
Yeah, how did things turn out like this?
They are both graduates from prestigious universities.
I have obviously tried very hard.
Why is God so unfair to me?
Three months ago, the boss of the company where Sun Hao worked ran away with the money, and Sun Hao still had two months' salary to pay.
He didn't want to stay at home and be supported by his girlfriend, so he looked for a job while temporarily finding two jobs as waiters in a big hotel to make ends meet.
Who would have thought that the competition for finding a job is so fierce nowadays.
Sun Hao tried his best, but no job that satisfied him came to him.
"Sun Hao, Sun Hao, don't blame your girlfriend for scolding you... For a grown man to do this, you are really a jerk."
Muttering to himself, Sun Hao stood up, took a deep breath, and walked towards the bedroom.
