After returning from Du Kang's house, we went to a Western restaurant not far from the bar to eat, but we saw a familiar figure, it was Li Yuanze and Xiaofan.

I was a little puzzled, every month his father gave him living expenses are with me, because the school is a closed boarding, the food fee is paid uniformly, and the snacks in the school are not very expensive, so I still give him enough pocket money every week, but enough is not enough for him to come to such a western restaurant. I stepped forward, Li Yuanze saw that I was a little flustered, and Xiaofan called out very politely: "Hello uncle." I also nodded and asked, "You guys also come here to eat, I'm over there with your landlord uncle and Aunt Luo Luo, do you want to go over together." Li Yuanze said with some hesitation: "No, no need, that, just eat it for the two of us." I nodded, "Well, come to me when you're done eating." ”

Luo Luo saw me coming over there and asked, "Yuan Ze, aren't they coming?" I nodded and said, "Let's eat, don't worry about them, the little couple likes the world of two, we are old." "Not long after, I watched the waiter walk up to them, Li Yuanze took out a few hundred yuan from his wallet to settle the bill, and after they were full, they came over to say hello and left. I wanted to keep them and drive them off, but they politely refused. I called the waiter who had just settled the bill for them, and the waiter walked up to me politely: "Hello sir, how can I help you?" I pointed to the table where Li Yuanze and the others were sitting just now and asked, "I am the uncle of the little boy just now, how much is the table they just had?" The waiter flipped through the bill in his hand and said, "Hello, they just spent a total of 570 yuan." After speaking, he handed me the bill, I put down the knife and fork in my hand, wiped my mouth and took the bill, Rollo also came over and looked at the bill and read: "A piece of Australian sirloin, a T bone, a pot of fine Blue Mountain...... Wow, there are so many pastries, and the two children can really eat them. I handed the bill back to the waiter and nodded with a smile: "Thank you." The waiter also responded with a smile: "You're welcome." With that, he left.

Back to the bar, it was the end of the month, the landlord also had to reconcile, the original bar only had three of us, so we basically didn't share the red, who needed it to be recorded, Rollo's salary was also given to the three of them, and it was also after Lychee and his boyfriend came to work here, we also reconciled the accounts at the end of each month for the convenience of bookkeeping. Li Yuanze also returned to his residence to rest, and we were still having a meeting at the bar. The landlord put the bill on the table and asked, "Do you have any other money that you didn't register?" Lin and I thought for a moment, shook our heads, and I asked, "What's wrong?" and the landlord said, "It's more than two thousand dollars less." I asked, "Could it be that you didn't count the QR code payment?" He shook his head: "I counted many times, and it was all the same, less than two thousand." Lin said again: "Could it be that they received the wrong money from lychees?" The landlord still asked: "I checked their order machine, and the receipts and the wrong ones are also counted, and it is still bad to include these." "That night we struggled for a long time with the money we had lost, and although it was more than two thousand, it was still less.

The next day, we looked for Lychee and recalculated the accounts a few times, and it was still more than 2,000 less, after which the landlord asked, "Except for the three of us and your boyfriend, has anyone ever entered the bar?" We nodded, and I said, "Don't get me wrong, we didn't say it was him, but anyone else went in besides him." Lychee thought for a while and said, "When you went out last week, Xiao Yuanze went in a few times, and he said that you didn't give him living expenses in the field, and then you called him to come to the bar to get it." I nodded, "yes, I see." "After Lychee left, I called Luo Luo at school, and Luo Luo happened to be out of class immediately, and I asked her to go home after class and take Li Yuanze to the bar. The landlord and Lin didn't bother and went downstairs to get busy.

Li Yuanze and Luo Luo came to the bar and found me on the second floor, Luo Luo took him to sit opposite me, I looked at Li Yuanze and did not speak, and then continued to calculate the account. The three of us just sat in silence, Li Yuanze kept trying to find a topic, but I dealt with it perfunctorily, and it was obvious that he was a little flustered when he looked at me who was settling accounts. I did the math once and muttered, "No, why is it less than two thousand." After saying that, I counted again, back and forth three or four times, and every time I finished the calculation, I would mutter: "Why is it still more than two thousand less." And every time I finish speaking, Li Yuanze's fidgeting will be more obvious.

After counting the fourth time, I raised my head and looked at Li Yuanze and asked, "Didn't I transfer the living expenses I gave you last week?" He replied absentmindedly, "Hmm." I asked again, "How much did you get from the bar?" He said hesitantly: "I don't know how much, but I went a few times, and I took about 2,000 more." I nodded, "What do you want money for?" He bowed his head and didn't answer me, and I said, "Why don't you tell me what you want?" and he muttered, "Aren't you not at home." I nodded again: "Well, yes, how much money is left?" He hesitantly took his wallet out of his pocket and handed it to me: "It's all in there." I counted the three hundred, I closed my wallet and handed it to him and asked, "Why did you use it so much in school for a week?" and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

I looked at the new shoes on his feet and asked, "How much are these?" He looked at the shoes on his feet, his face flushed, and after a long time he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "More than six hundred." I nodded and asked, "You ate five hundred and seven that night, count it as six hundred, count it as six hundred, count it as seven hundred, that is one thousand three, and there are more than three hundred in your wallet, count it as four hundred, then what about three hundred?" He still lowered his head and stammered: "Give Xiaofan a gift." I nodded: "Yes, it should be, it is appropriate to give a gift to your girlfriend when you are in love." I closed the ledger and asked, "What's the gift, more than 300?" He took out a slip from his wallet, it was a YSL lipstick slip, I looked at the slip, smiled and said to Rollo, "He knows how to give gifts better than me." Luo Luo scolded with a smile: "Then you don't have to learn a little." Li Yuanze said a little shyly: "Uncle, can you not tell my father." I looked at him suspiciously: "Why should I tell your dad?" He also looked at me suspiciously, but his eyes were more shocked: "You're not going to tell my dad?" I still asked suspiciously, "Tell your dad what?" He lowered his head again and muttered, "I did something wrong." I then asked, "What did you do wrong?" and he muttered to me, still whispering, "I stole the money." ”

I picked up the wallet he put on the table, put the lipstick slip back in his wallet, took out my own wallet again, took out more than 2,000 yuan from it and handed it to Rollo: "This is the bar's less money, you take it and give it to the landlord and Lin." Rollo took the money, nodded, and walked down. I looked at Li Yuanze, and his face would turn red once he was nervous.

I looked at him and asked, "Do you like these shoes very much?" He looked at the shoes on his feet and replied, "I think it's average, but one of my classmates bought it and everyone said it looked good." I looked at him and nodded, "Oh, so you want a pair too, don't you?" he bit his lip, and I asked again, "What do you think of the taste of that restaurant?" He still bit his lip, I looked at him and shook my head with a smile: "Don't bite, bite again, it will break." His lips popped out of his teeth, and he whispered to me: "Xiaofan said she hadn't eaten it, so I wanted to take her to taste it." I nodded: "Understood, understood." After saying that, I asked again: "That lipstick number is still suitable for her, I want to remind her that she can't wear makeup at school, and remember that the first lipstick I gave you Aunt Luo Luo was Death Barbie powder, and now she is still making fun of her." Seeing that I didn't blame him, he replied with some relaxation: "No, she doesn't wear makeup at school, she is a dancer, and she often has to perform makeup, so I want to give her a better lipstick." I also smiled at him relaxedly: "Then she often wears makeup, and she is so young, you might as well give her better skin care products." He scratched his head a little embarrassed, and I continued: "Tomorrow you get up early, and I'll ask Aunt Luo Luo to take you to choose a better set of skin care products for Xiaofan." He asked suspiciously, "You don't scold me?" I asked suspiciously, "Why do you want to scold you?" He then asked me, "You don't blame me?" I smiled and said to him: " In fact, vanity everyone has, generously admit that their vanity is not ashamed, no one is born confident, born strong, everyone will have envy or jealousy, this is normal, secretly tell you, I also have something to envy, you have been to my room, you should know, I have a cabinet, there are all kinds of cups, all kinds of materials, all kinds of uses, I put two whole walls, whoever goes to me, I will ask him to drink something, even if it is just a glass of water, I will carefully select a cup for him, and then introduce him to the manufacturer of this cupmaterial I am very proud of the production process and price, I am very proud of this, I do not deny that I am showing off, I also like the sense of achievement brought by this, often look at the cups on the wall, are like their own laying of the country, sometimes go to the gathering of Tibetan friends, I will be very proud to show off, but all this, not I was born with, you have vanity is normal, for example, you said a pair of brand-name shoes of classmates, the envious eyes of classmates, you also want it, simple, just buy a pair, but that sense of achievement, is it accompanied by a kind of weakness, just like when I just called you, your restlessness, your crampedness, you look at the shoes, Is that sense of accomplishment not as good as I imagined?" he nodded when he heard this, and I continued: "Isn't she very happy that you gave her more than 300 lipsticks?" Li Yuanze still nodded, I stood up and touched his head:" There is no shame in having vanity, but you have to have enough ability to support your vanity, if not, then you have to work hard, I don't blame you this time, because you said that you knew you were wrong, to be honest, I was negligent in educating you, I was also at fault, tell me what you need next time, don't do such a thing again. He kept playing with his fingers and said softly, "I know, thank you, uncle." I nodded and left.
