The shops near the hospital were always profitable, and the breakfast shop was very busy from early in the morning. Especially after many patients came last night with many family members, the delicious breakfast shop was full of people, more crowded than the emergency room of the hospital.
Several people walked along the way.
"Uncle, what do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you." Chang Jiawei asked his elders for their opinions as they walked.
"No, no, no." Xie Changrong waved his hand and replied, "You all worked very hard last night. I will treat you all to breakfast this morning."
Chang Jiawei was very anxious when he heard what he said. He had finally managed to come up with a plan to please Xie's family and he must not give it up easily. He immediately said, "Uncle, no. You are a guest and an elder. It would make me look stingy if I asked you to treat me to a meal. Right, Yingying, should I treat you to a meal?"
Being dragged into the battle by her senior, Xie Wanying told the truth: "Teacher Chang, I should be the one to pay."
The truth is, these two people are her elders, and it is her responsibility to treat them to a meal and pay for it.
He tried to win her over to his side, but she ended up snatching him away. Chang Jiawei quickly objected: "No, no. You're a student, you don't have a salary, whose money can you spend?"
"Don't say anything. It's my treat. Don't argue with me." Xie Changrong took out his wallet from his pocket. At this moment, he didn't forget what his wife had told him when he left home. He said, "Her mother asked me to buy her something after I come here and not let her pay. So, I'm here to treat you to a meal."
...
...
"Uncle, it's okay, I'll pay. You go back and tell aunt that it was you who paid." Chang Jiawei stopped his hand from reaching for the wallet.
At this point, Xie Changrong's eyes widened as he stared at the young man in front of him: What are you arguing with me about?
Senior Chang didn't know that her father was a person who cared a lot about his reputation. When Xie Changrong really decided to pay for it himself, he would never let others help him pay, because this would make him look like a man and give him face.
Male chauvinism, preference for boys over girls, the deeper meaning behind these labels of her father, according to her mother's interpretation, is that he lives for face. In short, since the old Xie family and the entire Songyuan area are almost all like this, her father, who loves face so much, can only follow the crowd, otherwise he will be laughed at and can't survive.
Can't you just be a little thicker and not care what other people say?
Her mother can do it, but her father can't.
This involves another topic: the different parenting issues of the Xie family and the Sun family.
Her father was the eldest son in the Xie family. He was strictly required to be like the eldest son and to have a very strong sense of shame since he was a child. He was destined to be a face-conscious person. In contrast, her grandfather was much more tolerant and loving to his two daughters, her mother and her aunt, which made her mother feel that it was okay to be thick-skinned.
In contrast, Senior Chang should be a child who was loved and pampered at home. Sometimes he said and acted foolishly, which was insignificant. Facing her father's wide eyes, Zhen seemed to be unable to understand her father's character for a moment, and just blinked there.
At this critical juncture, Xie Wanying was thinking about how to resolve this embarrassing situation so that her father and seniors could save face.
In the distance, a child's voice came along with the wind: "Beautiful, beautiful, here I come!"
