What do you do as two kids?
Just delay time.
Su Qinghu said that if anyone could find a way to get meat coupons on the way home, he would buy them meat. The two of them then began to exploit loopholes and delay time.
Seeing her narrow her eyes at them, she was still making excuses, "You didn't say that we couldn't stop and think of a solution before leaving..."
Yes, she didn’t say that.
Su Qinghu didn't even seem angry, and nodded directly: "Alright, you guys think about it here, and remember to go home when you've made up your mind."
He took two steps forward, then stopped, turned around, smiled at the two hesitant people, and said very gently, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, I have the final say on when to buy this meat!"
He spoke the last four words word by word, trying his best to make sure the two kids could hear them clearly.
"Mom, Mom, wait for me!" Erdan was very sensible. He quickly accepted his new mother's threat and followed.
Dadan, like a brother, followed with a smile. When he reached Su Qinghu, he snatched the bag containing the lunch box and teacup from her hand, grinned, and followed behind slowly.
Su Qinghu didn't stop him. Just carry it. What's wrong with a nine-year-old child carrying a bag that's not even as heavy as a schoolbag?
Walking on the road, Dadan and Erdan racked their brains, constantly thinking of a solution, and kept asking Su Qinghu whether this solution met the standards of rationality, legality and reasonableness that she had mentioned.
Su Qinghu only said one sentence throughout the whole process: "What do you think?"
You think you think the two children were almost driven crazy by these few words. But after she asked the question, she had to answer.
It is said that the person who knows oneself best is oneself. In this situation, it is like looking for loopholes in one's own words, and every time you find one, you will find one.
I've already refuted myself, how can I turn things around...
Seeing that they had already walked two-thirds of the way, the two children saw no hope and wilted. Against the backdrop of the bright sunlight, they looked so pitiful.
"Actually, I have a plan." Su Qinghu glanced at them, then looked away. As he walked forward, he said, "As long as there is still meat left today, you can eat it that day."
After being reminded by her two sons that she needed meat tickets to buy meat, she now speaks more cautiously and always adds a prerequisite before speaking.
But Dadan and Erdan's eyes lit up, and they stared at her intently, waiting for her to continue. Erdan even lifted the hem of his little sweatshirt and approached her attentively, fanning her.
Su Qinghu stopped and patted Erdan on the head. "Alright, stop trying to corrupt me. Besides, your belly is showing."
Erdan didn't care, "Mom, as long as you feel cool, I'm a boy, so I can show off."
My face is full of servile look, saying that I will devote my limited strength to make you feel at home.
"I'm asking you, why are you picking the Liu family's pomegranate flowers?" And the ones that are completely bare...
Erdan said frankly, "She falsely accused my brother of being a hooligan. I asked her to apologize but she refused. So she deserves it if I plucked all the pomegranates from her tree."
His brother is the most important to him, and the pomegranate tree is the most important to Mr. Liu. So if he gets Mr. Liu's pomegranate tree, he'll be even.
After Erdan finished speaking, Su Qinghu looked at Dadan, "What do you say?"
"I don't have anything to say," Dadan said, pursing his lips tightly. If he couldn't eat the meat, he wouldn't eat it. Anyway, he wouldn't say anything.
That's what she said, but what was expressed in her pursed lips and eyes was very interesting.
Su Qinghu didn't ask any further questions, but turned back to ask Erdan, "Where are the pomegranate flowers you picked?"
Erdan didn't answer but asked, "Can we eat meat today legally and reasonably?"
Want to ask the question of equivalent exchange?
Su Qinghu was more direct this time, "Yes, of course. Why not? As long as there's meat there."
"Hehe." Erdan was delighted to get the answer. His subordinate did not forget to lift up the hem of his clothes to fan her. He replied attentively and neatly, "It's on a poplar tree not far from our house."
Su Qinghu wasn't surprised that such a young child could climb a tree. He was just a little surprised, "Why put it there?"
Could it be that this child had the same idea as her? Impossible, right?
Erdan looked at Su Qinghu and said nothing.
Why is the new mom so smart at one moment and so stupid at the next? Why did he put it on the tree? Isn't it simple? Who does bad things and leaves a trace? Do good things and let others pick them up?
Also, wasn't he furious at the time? He was thinking of drying these pomegranate flowers and throwing one at Liu's door every few days to piss her off to death...
Su Qinghu was so disdainful of his look that she simply stopped asking and directly ordered, "Go and bring back those pomegranate flowers later."
"Why did you bring them back? Are you going to return these pomegranate flowers?" Erdan put his hands in his pockets and reminded her nonchalantly, "That Liu girl has a bad temper. If you dare put these pomegranate flowers in front of her, she'll fight you! Otherwise, she'll blackmail you for money. And all that money was given to you by my dad..."
"Besides, my brother did nothing wrong." He curled his lips and began to mutter, "When I get it back, are you going to beat us in front of Liu?"
Su Qinghu was puzzled. "Why would I hit you? Except for the fact that you picked the pomegranate flowers, the rest was all fabricated by Liu, right?"
Dadan, who had been silent all the time, glanced at her secretly and then quickly looked away.
It was Erdan who cleared up Su Qinghu's confusion. "Isn't it like this now? When two children have a conflict, the other parent comes to the door as soon as the other child cries. Even if they know it's not their own child's fault, won't the adults still beat their own child to vent their anger on the other parent?"
Su Qinghu: "..."
Erdan: "I'll teach you how our first mom did it!"
As he spoke, he began to take off his shoes. After grabbing one shoe in his hand, he slapped it in the air with a gust of wind, saying in a pinched voice, "I told you to be useless! I told you not to covet other people's things! Their things are precious, and you still dare to covet them. Who do you think you are? Don't you see who they are? Can you afford to offend them?!"
The singing, reciting, acting and fighting are so vivid that it seems like it happened again yesterday.
Su Qinghu understood that today's parents really beat their children and also really made indirect accusations against them.
"You adults are so sarcastic. You beat the children whenever you want. You try to gain the upper hand verbally, but in the end, aren't your own children the ones who suffer?" It's not someone else's child who is being beaten.
Su Qinghu nodded: "What you said makes sense."
Erdan: "??? You won't hit me?"
In the past, his father's previous wife would have slapped him in the face long ago. How could she possibly let him babble so much...
"Why would I hit you?" Su Qinghu raised his chin slightly. "Just as you said, I hit you, and my hand hurts. If you want to get beaten up, ask your brother to beat you up, don't ask me."
Erdan looked at her in surprise. "You're different from many people I've met."
It was obviously the same at the beginning...
"Alright, stop talking nonsense." Su Qinghu waved his hand, beckoning the two to continue walking forward. "Just like I said just now, bring me the pomegranate flowers in good condition."
As she spoke, she limped, catching the two children off guard. They quickly pulled their legs back and followed her. "Where are you going?"
"Don't you want to eat meat?" Su Qinghu said without turning back, "I remember there's a delicatessen up ahead. Your father's friend's wife is in the shop..."
Before she could finish her words, the two children grabbed her legs and waist respectively and dragged her back.
"Don't go!"
“We don’t eat meat anymore!”
