Sure enough, when Dabao arrived at the grocery store, he went straight to the meat counter and learned that he needed a meat ticket to buy meat. He didn't have one, so he had no choice but to give up.

Gu Qinghuan did not accompany him, but followed behind and let him go shopping by himself.

Seeing that he was worried about the meat ticket, Ming Ruxue wanted to take the meat ticket out of her own pocket and give it to him, but was stopped by Gu Qinghuan. She wanted to see what this child would do.

Dabao looked around and asked about eggs, fish and shrimps. When he learned that a ticket was required to buy fish, he finally smiled.

I carefully asked the uncle who sells fish which kind of fish is suitable for making pickled fish. He remembered that my mother had made it once before and it was delicious.

The uncle told him that grass carp, black carp, and carp would all be fine.

Dabao chose and chose from the big fish basin, and finally chose the one he liked the most. The uncle helped him to fish it out, weighed it, filled out a ticket, and asked him to pay first and then come to collect the fish.

Dabao knew how to read numbers, so he checked carefully several times and saw that the receipt said 10 cents. Only then did he happily go to pay.

The girl who collected money at the counter had two big braids that swung back and forth, and her face was powdered. She must be an unmarried girl.

Seeing that he came to pay the bill by himself, the girl asked him why he bought the fish by himself. Dabao proudly said that he spent his own money to buy fish for his family. The girl even praised him, which made Dabao blush.

Then he got his fish, and ran over happily with the three-pound grass carp in his hand: "Mom, I bought a fish for us. Can you make pickled fish for dinner?"

Gu Qinghuan smiled generously and gave a thumbs up: "No problem, I'll arrange it!"

The last bit of uneasiness in Dabao's heart disappeared.

He smiled and took out the remaining banknotes in his pocket.

"Mom, I still have two dollars and a dime. If you want to buy anything else, I'll pay you." His proud look made Ming Ruxue and the people around him very happy. "Dabao, why are you so cute!" Ming Ruxue rubbed his face.

Dabao said generously: "Auntie Ruxue, I will buy you whatever you want. But I have two yuan and a dime now, so you can buy something cheaper..."

Ming Ruxue's behavior was rare. This child knew how to be grateful and had a good heart. Sister Huanhuan did not treat them wrongly.

She had only bought him chocolates a few times, and he was willing to spend all his money on her. He was a very good kid.

"Auntie Ruxue is short of everything, so Dabao should save it for himself and buy candy later."

Dabao looked at Gu Qinghuan.

Gu Qinghuan shook her head: "Mom can't think of anything for the time being, I'll tell you when I think of it.

You can choose to save the money and use it wisely.”

"Okay, Mom." Dabao put the money into his pocket with satisfaction.

Beibei looked at them with such envy that even the chocolate in her mouth suddenly tasted delicious.

It seems that her brother's three yuan is more useful than the chocolate in her heart. After buying such a big fish, she can still save some money.

When she thought about it, she felt that she was too greedy. If only her brother could calculate, her face would blush immediately.

Gu Qinghuan discovered her emotions at the same time.

"Beibei, don't be depressed, you are great, there is nothing shameful in choosing what you like.

Your choice did not hurt others, so you need to feel guilty. "

After being comforted by Gu Qinghuan, Beibei suddenly found an outlet for her emotions and she couldn't stop crying.

"Mom, I shouldn't have bought chocolate. I'm too greedy," she cried.

"My brother chose to spend the money in a way he preferred, and it is right for everyone to be like him.

My child, remember that it is important to please yourself in this age. You should not hurt yourself in order to please others. You are doing well. "

"Mom, what does it mean to please yourself?" Beibei looked at her in confusion, with eyes as red as a rabbit.

"Pleasure yourself, that is, eat whatever you want to eat, wear whatever you want to wear, buy whatever you want to buy.

Make yourself happy, and you will please yourself."

"Is this really possible?" Beibei snuggled into Gu Qinghuan's arms, her voice full of discomfort and nasal tone.

"Of course! We should be good to ourselves first before we can be good to others, right."

Seeing this, Dabao quickly said, "Yes, you ate the chocolate and you were very happy. I spent my own money and bought what I wanted, which made me happier than eating chocolate. We are all doing things that make ourselves happy. Mom said that being happy is the most important thing."

After being comforted by them, Beibei finally cried.

Ming Ruxue listened to the conversation between her mother and the other two, thoughtfully.

Yes, throughout life, people are pursuing a certain ability, an ability to please themselves. Many people are born with the shackles of serving their families and cannot do what they want to do.

She highly approves of this kind of education, which allows children to be whoever they want to be, to please themselves instead of pleasing others.

Dabao carried the fish home by himself with a smile on his face all the way.

The few of us simply ate a little bit, and saved this meaningful fish for everyone to eat together in the evening.

Over in the small western-style building, the two men cooperated better and better, and their efficiency was very high. They had already installed the curtains for the entire building.

Gu Qinghuan left the child at home with Ruxue and ran over to bring food to the two of them.

Zhong 꿢 prepared a simple meal of two-grain steamed buns and pork chili sauce for them to eat, which was enough, and there were also some fruits after the meal.

Gu Lanting had a small appetite, so after he finished eating, he pulled Gu Qinghuan aside to talk in private.

He had seen his sister's extravagant shopping during this period and had many doubts in his mind, but he was reluctant to ask because he was afraid of hurting his sister's self-esteem.

This will really be bearable.

"Sister, is the money you spent during this period your brother-in-law's?"

Although he was a little puzzled as to how a farmer like Xu Huai'an could have so much money, his sister was even more likely to have it, and Xu Huai'an looked like a simple farmer, so he privately put the money on him.

Gu Qinghuan choked. How could she say that? She was really good at denying it.

At least you can say that all this money was earned by your sister and I. If it's one or two hundred yuan, Gu Lanting might believe it, but recently she has only spent one or two thousand yuan.

She could stick her neck out and say, "What's wrong? What's wrong with me spending some of your brother-in-law's money?"
