Chapter 471: Giving a Chance
People tend to agree with the latter. In ordinary families, malted milk and milk powder are luxury goods. Parents mostly give them as gifts instead of opening them and giving them to their children to drink.
Of course, unless the family is well-off and spoils their children.
Obviously, the Wen family is only slightly above average, so both situations need to be considered.
Mother Wen bought the cheapest set of clothes, spending ten yuan, and she felt bad. If she had made it herself, she could have saved half of the money, not to mention buying some necessary daily necessities for Shan Weiyuan.
Carrying large and small bags of things, they took a car again and arrived near the community.
Mother Wen took out a dime and a bath ticket from her pocket, and took out the bag of clean clothes, towels and soap, "Take a good bath, and give your clothes to the aunt at the door, and I'll pick them up later.
Your sister and I will take the things home first and pick you up later."
Shan Weiyuan responded and went to the bathhouse happily and curiously.
The men's bathhouse has a large pool surrounded by showers. Since it is a bathhouse owned by a company, there are many retired old men taking a bath and chatting in it.
He soaked in it for a long time, then comfortably asked someone to rub the mud for him. Then, when he saw someone asking for soda, he also asked for two bottles and drank them all, feeling refreshed.
The backstage staff listened to the twelve images at the same time, and edited the ones worth playing and inserted them into the live broadcast. Although the "Fake Dad and Fake Mom" program was broadcast 24 hours a day, it was indeed put together by the staff. The plot was compact and did not waste the audience's time and emotions.
So when Shan Weiyuan was taking a shower, the cameraman was recording facing the curtain, and the live broadcast switched to other guests. He would only switch back when he shouted for something at the top of his voice.
The audience laughed out loud when they heard this. Look, the parents didn't keep an eye on the kid for a moment, and the kid started spending money.
It was more than an hour after taking a shower. Shan Weiyuan changed into new clothes that were slightly larger and handed the clothes he had taken off to the aunt at the front desk.
This aunt was in charge of the bathhouse, but she was smart and took on the job of washing clothes for others. Wen's mother had just said hello to her, so Shan Weiyuan left in a swagger, and she didn't stop him. She wrote down the money for the bath and two bottles of soda.
After standing for less than five minutes, Shan Weiyuan became impatient. The main reason was that he was very hungry. There was a state-owned restaurant next to him, and the aroma of food kept wafting over.
He leaned over to take a look, shrugged his shoulders, sighed and said, "My stomach gave you a chance, but you didn't want it." Having said that, he happily turned around and walked to the next room.
Seeing the sumptuous meal on the table, Shan Weiyuan shouted, "Sister, I also want a portion of beef, a portion of scrambled eggs with cucumber, a portion of pork ribs stewed with cabbage and vermicelli, a portion of spinach and tofu, three bowls of rice, and a bowl of millet porridge!"
The waiter looked up and saw a strong man. "A total of six yuan and twenty cents, five taels of food coupons."
"Sister, please put it on Wen Haichao's account for me," Shan Weiyuan said with a grin.
"No, that won't work. I don't know who you are in his family," the waiter shook his head and refused.
"Sister, I am their son. There are only two girls in his family. They will have to rely on me to break pots for my parents in the future. Please help me remember it.
If you don't believe it, go to the bathhouse next door and ask the aunt.
My mother told her to do it!" Shan Weiyuan put his hands together and said pleadingly.
His stomach growled in response.
Seeing that there weren't many people and the bathhouse was only two steps away, the waiter agreed to come down.
The aunt in the bathhouse did hear Shan Weiyuan calling Wen's mother "Mom" all the time, and Wen's mother did not refute.
So Shan Weiyuan ate the sumptuous meal by himself, and after everything was eaten, he burped with satisfaction, then ordered two more servings and said, "Sister, the food here is really delicious.
How can I enjoy it alone? I must bring it to my parents and sister.
Please pack me two more servings according to the quantity just now!"
The waiter responded with a smile and turned to the chef.
The chef cooked it quickly and quickly. Seeing that he didn't bring a pot, he borrowed two thermos buckets and said, "When Comrade Wen Haichao goes to work to settle the bill, just bring it over."
Shan Weiyuan smiled and nodded, then he stood there in the cold wind, carrying two buckets of rice, and waited for another five minutes.
Mother Wen hurried over, her hair a little messy, and said apologetically, "How long have you been waiting? I thought it would be inconvenient to take a bath in the countryside, and you would have to take a bath for a while, so I made a bed for you at home. I didn't expect it would be so late."
Shan Weiyuan glanced at the bathhouse clock and said, "Mom, three hours, where is my braised meat?"
"Blame me, blame me," Wen's mother apologized sincerely.
No matter how big the mistake is, it's hard to blame others.
Shan Weiyuan still didn't hold on to it, leaving it for the audience to figure out.
He chuckled and said, "I guess so, but my son understands that you and dad are working hard, so he specially asked for some delicious food. It's still hot!"
Mother Wen then realized that he had two large thermos buckets in his hands. Her heart felt like it was cut by a blunt knife. She couldn't accept it for a moment and asked tremblingly, "Shan Weiyuan, what are you holding?"
"Beef, scrambled eggs with cucumber, stewed pork ribs with cabbage and vermicelli, and spinach and tofu. I tried them all for you. They were so delicious! The chef was so nice. Seeing that I didn't bring anything, he even lent me a thermos bucket and asked my dad to return it when he gets to work."
"You, where did you get the money?" Mother Wen took a deep breath, holding on to a glimmer of hope.
Beef and ribs are very expensive!
"It's just like doing laundry in a bathhouse!" Shan Weiyuan said with a smile, "Look, the sun is almost setting. Has my dad come back from work? Let's go home quickly!"
Mother Wen looked at the photographer and assistant pretending to be passers-by, and smiled stiffly, but couldn't help saying: "Shan Weiyuan, our family just bought a house and owes a lot of money.
You see, we live in Kyoto City, and our life is not that rich. Let it go this time, but next time... next time you should at least tell me.
If you're hungry, we can buy some for you to try.
I'll have some three-in-one noodles and pickles with your father and your sister."
Shan Weiyuan immediately said somewhat helplessly: "I, I also want to please mom and dad."
"Let's go home," Mother Wen curled her lips, turned around and led the way.
In winter, near dinner time, there are the fewest people in the family compound. Just a few steps away, the sky seems to darken in the blink of an eye.
Father Wen had just been allocated an apartment, but because it wasn’t of a particularly high grade, he only got a top floor apartment with two bedrooms and a living room and 60 square meters.
However, the house was decorated by Wen's mother to be particularly warm and luxurious, with uniform wooden floors, a red-brown leather 3+2+1 sofa set, a marble coffee table, a 14-inch color TV, a double-door refrigerator in the kitchen, a tape recorder, a sewing machine, an electric fan, and so on.
