When the food was served, Su He realized that her family hadn't eaten dinner either, probably waiting for her. Su He felt a warmth in her heart.
Then, remembering the things he had brought back, he quickly took them out.
"Grandma, I bought a roast duck before I came back, and I brought it back for everyone to try."
The family's eyes lit up the moment they heard there was roast duck, and their mouths almost watered.
Grandma Su glared at her and said with concern, "Why spend this money? It would be better to save it for you to eat more. You work so hard, don't starve yourself! We have everything at home, as long as we're full, we don't have the luxury of eating roast duck. Don't buy it again!"
Hearing this, the uncle next to her said, "Yes, Daya, you've just started working, so take care of yourself first and don't worry about us."
Hearing this, the others forgot about their cravings and nodded in agreement, afraid that she was not doing well herself and was saving money to buy them food.
Seeing that everyone was no longer planning to eat it, they even wanted her to take it back and return it.
Seeing this, Su He quickly stopped the topic and smiled, explaining, "Grandma, don't worry, I won't go hungry. The food at my workplace is very cheap, and I can eat my fill."
Then he took out the roast duck again, saying, "I just wanted to satisfy everyone's cravings. You haven't had it before, so now that you have the chance, you should try it. Don't worry, I won't waste money on it in the future."
Hearing her say that, Grandma Su felt relieved and couldn't refuse anymore, so she accepted the roast duck. However, she still said in the end, "Let it go this time. Keep the money for yourself in the future and don't waste it."
"Okay!" Su He nodded and agreed with a smile.
A roast duck looks quite large, but it's not much when divided among the dozen or so members of the Su family. Each person only gets a piece of meat, and in the end, even the bones are used by the old lady Su to make soup. It can be said that the duck was used to its fullest potential.
But everyone still enjoyed the meal.
Su He's youngest cousin, Su Nan, smacked his lips and exclaimed, "This is the best thing I've ever eaten in my life."
Su He looked at the six-year-old boy and didn't know what to say, but seeing everyone's approving expressions, she felt inexplicably sad.
But it was precisely because of this that she felt she needed to work even harder, so that her family could eat more delicious food, and she had to keep striving.
Thinking of this, Su He said to Grandma Su, "Grandma, I've decided to give five yuan to the family every month when I get my salary."
Hearing her say that, everyone was taken aback and turned to look at her.
Su He didn't think much about it. She just thought that since the family hadn't separated yet, and everyone else's work points went to the family, she couldn't be an exception.
But because she eats a lot, she doesn't actually save much money from her current salary; five yuan is the most she can afford.
I'll give my family more money after I'm officially hired.
As soon as Grandma Su heard this, she refused outright: "No! It's not easy for you to work in the capital. The wages for temporary workers are already low, so you don't need to give them to the family. Keep them for yourself."
Su He was about to refuse when her aunt spoke up.
"Yes, Heya, we all know what you're thinking, but don't worry, we all understand. The most important thing now is for you to establish yourself first. Don't worry about us, we've got you covered."
Even Uncle and Aunt nodded in agreement.
Su He was surprised to see this. She hadn't expected them to think this way. But her family had supported her for so many years, hoping that she would become successful and help the family. Why were they refusing now?
