The old man was sitting in the front passenger seat, and he gave his wife a thumbs up in his heart! As the saying goes, an old man who is still alive is a thief!
Soon they arrived at the restaurant. Li Xingguo got out of the car with his eyes twitching. The old man really knew how to find a place. He would eat at the most expensive place. Thinking about saving the little salary he had left, he could not let the old man order food no matter what!
The old man didn't rush to order the dishes, letting Li Xingguo do his best. Li Xingguo ordered a plate of pickled cabbage, a plate of diced pork with soy sauce, and three bowls of rice.
The old lady raised three fingers to the old man's hand, and the old man glanced at her.
Li Xingguo handed the menu to the waiter and asked the old couple in a hypocritical manner, "Grandpa and grandma, are these two dishes enough for the three of us? What do you want to eat?"
The old man smiled at the waiter and said, "I heard that your roast duck is your specialty?"
"Yes, sir, you see, all the other tables have ordered roast duck. If you come to our restaurant and don't order roast duck, your trip would be in vain!" The young waiter is also good at selling.
"Give us one! Also, some lamb chops with braised sauce and some braised mandarin fish." The old man recalled the dishes recommended by the driver and he remembered these three. He's old and his memory is gone!
"Master, there are only three of us. We can't finish all that!" Li Xingguo quickly stopped him.
The old man's face drooped, almost drooping to his feet. "Why don't you care about your parents after we finish eating? They are still eating coarse food at home!"
The waiter looked at Li Xingguo with contempt, then turned and left.
Li Xingguo...
The dishes were served very quickly, and the old man asked the waiter to pack up most of the dishes. Don’t pack the cabbage, pack it for Li Xingguo!
The old couple was very satisfied with the food. The driver's recommendation was right. The food was so delicious! They were full. Not to mention that the eldest grandson was really nice. He took them to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks.
When it was time to pay the bill, Li Xingguo had a bitter face. It was fifteen yuan, and he only had ten yuan left from his salary. They would have to eat coarse food for the whole month. How would the two of them survive?
The old couple didn’t care about his business and said, “Xingguo, we won’t delay you from going to work. Let’s go back first!” After that, they took a taxi and left without even looking back!
Li Xingguo wanted to discuss with the old lady whether he could get half of his salary next month, but the old lady didn't even give him a chance to ask, leaving him with nothing to say.
The old couple returned home happily and gave the packed food to Chunni, asking her to eat it with the children. There were many people in the family and the food was not enough for everyone to eat with chopsticks, so they decided to give it to the children.
Chunni quickly made tea for grandpa, brown sugar water for grandma, and brought them to grandpa with a smile, "Grandpa and grandma, drink some water! Uncle wants to treat you to dinner!"
"Your uncle insisted on taking us to a restaurant for dinner. We didn't want to go, but he dragged us along. He didn't come home for a while and kowtowed to us two old men. He felt bad and wanted to make amends. Don't you think we should not give him this opportunity? We ordered a table full of dishes that we couldn't finish. We brought some back for you!"
Chunni's face twitched a few times when she listened to her grandma's words. Her grandma said she didn't believe a single punctuation mark, so how could her uncle take the initiative to take his parents to a restaurant for dinner?
It's not impossible to go. A bowl of noodles is enough. Why order a whole table? If it wasn't for me ordering her, her last name wouldn't be Li!
When Wu Zhiqiu came back from get off work, the old lady said that she had asked Li Xingguo for thirty yuan the day before and had a meal with him!
Wu Zhiqiu flattered her, saying that she was not as decisive as the old lady and did not have the courage and scheming of the old lady. She must learn more from her mother-in-law in the future!
