173 When do I have pocket money?
The next day was Fu Zhengtu's mid-year reporting meeting, and Su Taotao did not have to attend.
Fu Zhengtu and Mo Gong went to a meeting, so she took the three children to tour the capital alone.
Seeing that the flag-raising ceremony was too early and they couldn't get up that early, they gave up the project, thinking that there was still a long way to go.
Climbing the Great Wall in such a hot day is not a good choice. First of all, Su Taotao couldn't hold on, so she gave up this option.
After much thought, the best option turned out to be to visit the department stores in the capital.
Although shopping malls across the country are now similar, with only the goods they supply being different, the size of the capital's shopping malls and the number of goods they supply are definitely the largest in the country.
The three children looked at the dazzling array of goods, then looked at their own pitiful pocket money and dared not buy anything.
"You can each choose a gift, but only one, and the price cannot exceed two dollars. Go ahead." Since they were already here, they couldn't let the children go home disappointed, so Su Taotao Crispy Snacks fulfilled one of their little wishes.
Mumu touched the pitiful 1.7 yuan in his pocket and shook his head: "Sister Taozi, I don't want it. Let Ah Hang and Chen Chen choose. I'll just take a look."
Su Taotao smiled and asked him, "You really don't want it?"
Mumu forced himself to look away from his favorite picture book "A Barrel Gun".
Su Taotao sighed: "Before leaving, Aunt Zhong left some money here for use, saying that it can be used as appropriate. If you don't want it..."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Mumu's eyes lit up, "Sister Taozi, I want it. I want this picture book!"
In fact, the comic book only cost a few cents, and the money Mumu had on him was enough. In the past, he would have bought it without thinking. It was only because he and Fu Yuanhang worked hard to chop coconuts for a whole morning and only earned fifty cents, and it was only because Su Taotao "showed special favor" that they earned so much.
So, he was actually a little reluctant to spend it.
But he was still willing to use Ms. Zhong Xiumei's money!
After all, Ms. Zhong is a stingy person, and it's not easy to spend money on her!
Su Taotao didn't really want to spend the hundred dollars from Aunt Zhong for something worth only a few cents, she only said that because Mumu liked it.
Chenchen actually wanted to buy chess pieces, but this time he wanted to buy Go.
He actually already owns many kinds of chess, but he wants to buy and play with all the chess he has never seen before.
It seems that Mr. Fu has influenced Fu Haochen's hobbies a little bit. He also likes small toys that other children like, such as slingshots, shuttlecocks, etc. He will play with them occasionally.
But he is more interested in various machines, origami, chess pieces, calligraphy and painting... these are obviously not things he should like at his age.
These are all Mr. Fu’s hobbies. I can only say that genetics is truly a great subject.
Before Fu Yuanhang had chosen what he wanted, Mumu couldn't wait to open the picture book he had just received.
The drawing is good, but the simple black and white picture book is not very delicate. It is interesting only when combined with the text below.
Mumu flipped through a few pages and said to Fu Yuanhang casually, "I think your drawings are still better. Ah Hang, I think if you draw comic books, many people will definitely be vying for them."
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. The listener was not Fu Yuanhang, but Su Taotao.
Fu Yuanhang never dared to think in that direction.
Fu Yuanhang disagreed: "You really dare to think so."
But Su Taotao is different. She has a "little connection" with the printing factory affiliated with the base. Printing at her own expense is not an impossible thing. As long as she has good line drawings and stories, publishing comic books is completely possible.
It’s still better to submit your manuscript to a publishing house and have it published by them.
"Mumu's idea is good. If Xiaohang is interested, he can use his spare time to tell the story in the form of a comic book with pictures and text, and then submit it to a publishing house so that more people can see it."
Fu Yuanhang was shocked and looked at Su Taotao in disbelief: "Sister-in-law, are you kidding?"
He? Write a story? Submit it to a publisher? Then put it in a bookstore and let people like Mumu who like to read comic books buy it?
Fu Yuanhang never dared to think so even in his dreams.
Su Taotao found the expression of the pupils shaking funny:
"What's the big deal? Have you forgotten that you designed the packaging bag for coconut candy? I will take it with me to promote it all over the country tomorrow.
The same is true for comic books. As long as they are good ideas and good works, they are worth promoting and should be carried forward."
Fu Yuanhang still couldn't imagine drawing a picture book and having children all over the country buy it.
He took a deep breath to calm his turbulent heartbeat, and shook his head: "That's different."
Su Taotao touched his head and said, "Just think about the idea, draw and write, and leave the rest to my sister-in-law."
Fu Yuanhang looked at her with his sparkling eyes: "Then let me try?"
Su Taotao: "Well, don't feel pressured. If you are interested, just think of one. If you are not interested, forget it. It doesn't matter."
Fu Yuanhang nodded: "Okay."
Tired from walking, little Fu Haochen was still lying on his uncle's back. He poked his head out and asked Su Taotao, "What about me, mommy? What can I do?"
Su Taotao touched the child's head and said, "Just grow up well and be happy every day."
Chen Chen nodded slowly: "Yeah~~ I am very happy every day~~"
…
In the end, Fu Yuanhang did not buy anything for himself, but used his own "small treasury" to buy Zhou Linglan a Dacron floral skirt.
After seeing Li Xiangyang's mother wearing them, he became more determined to buy one for Zhou Linglan.
In fact, he also wanted to buy one for Su Taotao, but unfortunately Su Taotao didn't like it, so he had to give up.
Chenchen also wanted to buy something for his grandma, but he had no money, so he asked his mother, "Mom, when can I get some pocket money?"
Su Taotao looked at him in surprise. She had originally planned to wait until he was three years old and give him one yuan pocket money every month, just like Fu Yuanhang.
Chenchen is smarter than other children of the same age. When giving him pocket money, there is no need to worry that he will spend it recklessly or be cheated, so it is okay to start giving him pocket money when he is three years old.
I didn't expect that he wanted it now.
"What does Chenchen need pocket money for?" Su Taotao asked.
Chen Chen said seriously: "Buy things~~for Mommy~~for Grandma~~"
Su Taotao: "It would be more meaningful if Chenchen could earn some money by working part-time and then buy some for mom and grandma."
Chen Chen tilted his head and thought for a while: "Ke Su~~ Mommy doesn't say anything~~ Chen Chen just needs to be happy~~ and grow up~~
Buying things with mom and grandma~~ Chenchen is happier~~"
Su Taotao: "..." Who can tell her why a two-year-old child has such strong logical thinking?
"Chenchen is still young, so just have this intention. If you need to buy something, just tell mom and she will buy it for you."
Chenchen pouted and lay listlessly on his uncle's shoulder: "Okay~~"
