Chapter 38 Chapter 38 Xia Li called out to him: "Jiang Yi...
Jiang Zai was still young, so when getting off the bus, Xia Li held his hand tightly, for she was worried that he would fall again because the distance from the bus compartment to the ground was so high.
This is what her aunt told Charlie when they saw they were about to arrive at the station, telling her to keep a close eye on her son. The little boy was so tough, what if he jumped off the bus?
Charlie sighed and did as she was told.
Xia Pingzhi got off the bus behind the mother and son. The three of them stood at the bus stop, looking around and recalling in their minds, trying to decide which direction to go.
Unexpectedly, in just a short while, Jiangzai's attention was attracted by the large inflatable balloon across the street.
He stared at it without blinking. Charlie pulled at it but it didn't budge.
She followed Jiang Zai's gaze and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, you have good taste!
Xia Pingzhi took two steps and felt strange. She turned around and found that the two people were still there. "Aren't you leaving?" she urged.
Xia Li spread her hands helplessly towards Xia Pingzhi.
After that, the three of them could only go to that busy place through the overpass.
That's the thing about being with kids: plans never keep up with the flow. Charlie listens to her aunt, and she listens to Jiang. So, at the top of the family's food chain is a four-year-old.
This was the first time that Xia Li had seen such a lively scene, and it was in a foreign restaurant.
What's KFC? What a weird name.
Charlie had seen an advertisement for this fast food restaurant in the newspaper before. It contained a large photo of two children and their parents eating together. Everyone had an intoxicated look on their face.
When Xia Li saw it today, she remembered that this should be the second store opened in Guangcheng. The previous store was on Hubin Road.
As soon as the three of them stepped into the store, they immediately attracted the attention of the waiters outside. They were all wearing the same uniform, which was very decent, and they all had smiles on their faces. They enthusiastically recommended things to Xia Li and the other two.
A waitress immediately spotted the little boy Jiang Zai, said some words that were very tempting to the child, and pointed to the children who were eating in the big window.
"Children love to eat this, so ask your mother to bring you here to try it."
Although Xia Li didn't like them coaxing children into spending money, she saw Jiang Zai's envious look and thought that since they were already here, they might as well broaden their horizons, so she took the child and her aunt in.
During this period, Jiangzai, as a child, received an extra small benefit, which was a balloon and a small toy.
For boys, the toy is a palm-sized toy car, and for girls, the toy seems to be a Barbie doll, which looks very delicate.
Led by the waiter, the three of them walked inside and found a table to sit down.
"Aunt, the environment here looks pretty good."
Xia Li felt that apart from anything else, the decoration here was really nice, especially compared to the environment in Guangzhou where people could just pull up a table outside and sit down to eat, it was like heaven and earth.
After a while, the waiter brought the menu. Charlie took a look at it and her eyes widened in shock.
Is this some kind of sea cucumber belly?
Is there something wrong with her eyes? Why are the prices of everything on the menu so high?
Xia Pingzhi saw Xia Li's expression as if she had seen a ghost, so she asked Xia Li to hand it over to her.
Charlie waved her hand and said, "Goodbye, goodbye. You'd better not look at it. I'm afraid you'll find out something bad." Charlie still had the leisure to joke.
Xia Pingzhi took it anyway, and was shocked after seeing it: "Is this robbery?" She leaned her upper body against the table and whispered to Xia Li.
The price of two chicken wings and chicken nuggets is almost as much as buying an old hen. Could it be that these are foreign chicken wings and chicken, different from the ones in China?
Xia Li thought to herself: A single chicken nugget costs six dollars and a pair of chicken wings is six dollars and a half, and a chicken burger is eight dollars and a half. This is really a terrible deal. It's really not as good as a good meal at the Guangcheng Hotel. At least you wouldn't feel it was a waste, with so many dishes, so many choices, and so delicious. Even a bowl of noodles with shredded pork is only one dollar.
Do foreigners have such high spending power? Do they also pay this much in their own countries? If prices were set this high in China, would anyone really want to eat there?
Thinking about this, Xia Li looked at the parents who brought their children to eat fast food next to her. There were really a lot of people in this restaurant, and it seemed that there were not enough seats at this moment.
Well, there are still many people who are willing to bring their children to eat.
Seeing this, she thought to herself that she should push herself harder and try not to feel sad when she brings Jiangzai here again next year.
After looking at the menu, the three of them ordered a children's meal for twelve dollars, two hamburgers for seventeen dollars, and a separate order of hot milk and a hot black tea, for a total of thirty-five dollars.
Xia Li was very unhappy when she paid, and thought that if Jiang Zai dared to make her angry in the future, she would definitely beat him up.
However, I have to say that the high price has its reasons. Anyway, the food was served very quickly and the three of us didn’t have to wait too long before our food was served.
The waiter brought their orders on a tray. It looked a bit like children playing house, but it was a meal that cost more than 30 yuan anyway.
My aunt and I each got a hamburger, while Jiangzai got a small set meal, which also included a hamburger, a cola and mashed potatoes.
At first, I couldn’t recognize what it was until I called the waiter and asked, and then I realized it was mashed potatoes.
She was so surprised that she thought it was ice cream.
Xia Li opened her portion. Hmm, it looked a bit like a roujiamo (Chinese roujiamo). She took a bite and found it tasted quite good. It was quite novel.
The other things should taste good too, Charlie looked at the mashed potatoes on Ginger's tray.
Okay, she decided that she could come over secretly next time when she gets her salary.
My aunt is a very frugal person. She must have thought that it was good enough after trying it, and there was no need to buy it again because it was so expensive. Jiangzai was still a child, so it was not suitable for him to eat too much food from outside. It was better not to tell them.
In the end, she and her aunt simply satisfied their stomachs with a hamburger. Jiang Zai had already eaten, so no matter how delicious the food was, he couldn't eat more because of his limited appetite. Xia Pingzhi watched from the side and didn't dare to let him eat too much, otherwise it would be troublesome to go to the hospital if he felt unwell.
So I took the remaining half home.
The food is actually quite easy to bring. The kid finished the Coke, and the other food isn't anything soupy. I'll let Jiangzai have it for dinner tonight. We can't waste it.
In the evening, when we were chatting about it, my aunt said that it was a good thing that they ate boneless meat today. If there were bones, she would have wanted to take them out instead of leaving them there. Even if she took them out to feed the dog, she wouldn't have felt that it was too much of a loss.
Xia Pingzhi sighed at the end, saying that development was truly rapid. "In the past, opening such expensive, uneconomical restaurants would have been criticized. Who could have imagined that foreigners would come here to make money, set prices so high, and still attract so many people to eat there? The number of wealthy people is increasing."
After a busy day on Saturday, spent the entire time outside, Charlie wanted to take a break, so she stayed home on Sunday and waited until the sun went down in the afternoon to send the photos.
Yesterday, Xia Li said that she wanted to do something memorable, so after eating fast food in the afternoon, the three of them went to take pictures.
They were all still wearing their own clothes. There were group photos of the three of them, photos of Xia Li and her aunt, photos of Xia Li and Jiang Zai, and photos of Jiang Zai alone.
Two copies of each sheet were printed and laminated to avoid accidental damage.
Send Jiang Zai's special copy back home to him so that Jiang Dong's mother won't miss him at home. If he really misses it, he can just look at the photos to satisfy his craving.
She also said that she was thoughtful. When she talked about this with Jiang Zai, she was also very excited. She was thinking about what she could send to grandma, but after thinking about it, it seemed that there was nothing.
Xia Li took the opportunity to say to him, "Study hard and study hard. When you can write, you can write letters to your grandma often and your mother will send them back for you."
Jiang Zai thought it was a good idea and nodded happily, "Then I will go to school tomorrow."
"It won't work tomorrow. We have to wait a few more days until the children are ready. Then we can all go to school together." She fooled Jiang Zai. After all, the child was still young, and he didn't know what was going on.
When she woke up on Sunday, it was still the same time, but she didn't open her eyes, didn't get up, and didn't move.
After all, even though she has given birth to a child this big, she is only in her early twenties and is still at an age where she can and loves to sleep.
Just lying in bed for a while, she felt extremely comfortable.
Jiang Zai no longer slept with her, and no one else would make noise in the bed.
In a daze, she heard her aunt getting up, and then it seemed that Jiang Zai also got up. The living room gradually became very lively, and it was the sound of the TV turning on.
Did her aunt turn on the TV for Jiang Zi, or did Jiang Zi turn it on himself? The sound of the cartoon came in, and she could hear it clearly while lying in bed.
Charlie thought, this kid gets up early in the morning and watches TV.
She picked up the thin quilt and pulled it over herself, covering herself up. Her consciousness gradually became blurred again.
When I woke up again, I heard rustling sounds in my room.
Xia Li was startled. Was it a cat or a mouse? There wasn't much food in the house, and she made sure the windows were closed when she slept at night.
She sat up suddenly and found that Jiangzai was lying on the edge of her bed, playing with his car.
He was actually quite focused on the game, with half of his body lying on the edge of her bed, holding a toy car in his hand and using it as a driveway on her bed sheet.
When did this child come in? She was sleeping so soundly that she didn't notice it at all.
The sound just now came from the car's wheels, no wonder it sounded so strange.
She seemed to have startled Jiang Zi as well, as she suddenly sat up from the bed. After a pause, the boy turned around, grabbed his toy, and prepared to run towards the door.
Xia Li shouted at him: "Jiang Yi, why are you running? Don't run."
