Volume I, Chapter 25 Education
"Mother, you are so amazing!" Xiaobao looked up at his mother with great admiration, and couldn't believe that they really ate a free meal, and they ate so well, and packed the leftover meals! There is no silver at all, my mother is really amazing!
My mother is really amazing, so will they not be able to eat without spending money in the future? Xiaobao thought beautifully in his heart. If you don't have to spend money, you can eat delicious food...... Xiaobao couldn't help but crack his mouth and laugh when he thought of that beautiful life.
"Xiaobao, what are you laughing at, are you happy?" Mu Jinxi asked knowingly.
Xiaobao nodded vigorously, "Mother, so that we don't have to spend money to eat in the future, Xiaobao is so happy!" Next time, shall we bring grandpa and them to eat? ”
Mu Jinxi heard Xiaobao's innocent bully's words, oh my God, I can't see that her son still has the potential to be a bully, and he won't need money to eat in the future, this idea is really ...... It's great that she can open a restaurant in the future!
It's just that...... Mu Jinxi felt that it was still necessary to educate.
"Xiaobao, although we didn't spend silver on dinner today, but that's because my mother paid the corresponding things to replace the silver, so we have this result, it's not that we ate for nothing, do you understand the meaning of my mother's words?"
Xiaobao looked at Mu Jinxi ignorantly, obviously didn't quite understand what Mu Jinxi said, didn't he give the silver?
Mu Jinxi said patiently: "Although we didn't give the silver, my mother did other things to offset the silver we used to eat, that is, the value of what my mother did was equivalent to the value of the meal we ate." ”
After a pause, Mu Jinxi decided to change to a more understandable statement, "It's like someone exchanging a fish for half of a chicken, although the fish and the chicken are different, but their value is equal." ”
Xiaobao's small brows furrowed together, and he thought about it seriously for a long time before saying: "Mother, Xiaobao understands, the reason why we don't have to spend money on eating is because my mother said those words to the shopkeeper, which made the shopkeeper feel useful and valuable, so it offset our meal money, right?" We don't eat for nothing, do we? ”
Mu Jinxi nodded approvingly, "Xiaobao is really smart, that's it." There is no such thing as a free lunch, and we must pay what we want to get first. ”
She firmly believes that there is no free lunch in the world, and what she gets for nothing is lost quickly, and only what she gets through her own efforts is the most real and precious.
She hopes that Xiaobao understands this truth, and in the future, the situation of their family will gradually improve, she will re-establish her own kingdom, and Xiaobao will be the heir in the future.
And she will never allow her child to become a gentleman.
Xiaobao was a little disappointed, but he quickly accepted it. My mother is right, it is not good to eat for nothing, if they don't give money for nothing, and they don't pay anything, then wouldn't others suffer a lot? Grandma said that you can't take advantage of others.
"Mother, I know."
When Mu Jinxi and Xiaobao came to the meeting place with a food box printed with the words Peach Blossom Restaurant, they were stunned.
"Xiaoxi, are you going to eat at Peach Blossom Restaurant?" The eldest girl stared at the food box in Mu Jinxi's hand and asked in disbelief.
In addition to the big girl, everyone else is also equally surprised, Peach Blossom Restaurant, this is not a roadside stall, it is the largest restaurant in Peach Blossom Town, and it is expensive to eat inside! How could Xiao Xi carry the food box there? Could it be that Xiaoxi really went to Peach Blossom Restaurant to eat?
Mu Jinxi said unhurriedly: "How is this possible, it's just a food box, someone else gave it to me, I bought some pastries and went back to my mother to eat, this food box was borrowed from me by the pastry boss, and I have to pay it back next time." ”
"You, when you came, you said that you were sensible, but the result was ...... Cakes are eaten by rich people, and we might as well buy some meat if we have the money. The big girl looked at Mu Jinxi very disapprovingly and shook her head and said.
"I'm also on a whim, I regret it after buying it, and I'll let my mother say it when I go back." Mu Jinxi said with a look of regret.
Xiaobao pouted and looked at her mother in confusion, she didn't understand why her mother said this, they were obviously eating at the Peach Blossom Restaurant!
Mu Jinxi lowered her head and quietly squeezed her eyes at Xiaobao, signaling him not to speak. Xiao Bao bent his eyebrows and nodded with a smile.
Everyone believed it when they heard Mu Jinxi say this, after all, they also knew the situation of the Mu family, where did Xiaoxi have the money to go to the Peach Blossom Restaurant to eat!
Cuihua snorted coldly at Mu Jinxi, holding the fabric she bought and took the lead in the ox cart, everyone sat on it one after another, and staggered all the way back to Xiushui Village, Mu Jinxi felt that her bones were about to shake apart.
When they returned home, the Mu family was frightened when they saw what Mu Jinxi had brought back.
"Xiaoxi, you, where did you get this food? How much money does it cost, and where did you get the money? Mu Niangzi asked nervously, for fear that her daughter would do something bad.
Xiaobao said quickly: "Grandma, no money, my mother is amazing, I said a few words and asked the shopkeeper to let us eat for free." ”
Xiaobao's words, Daddy Mu doesn't believe it, where is there such a good thing, you can eat a meal for nothing with a few words? Look at these dishes are all the best, the price is very expensive, where did Xiaoxi get the silver?
"Xiaoxi, you tell your father honestly, where did you get the money to eat such a good meal?" Daddy Mu asked sternly.
Although their family is poor, they must not do something they shouldn't do because they are poor! To be a man, you must have backbone!
"Dad, mother, you think too much, things are what Xiaobao said. I just had a deal with the shopkeeper of Peach Blossom Restaurant, and he invited us to eat. I don't steal or rob, I'm upright, you can eat with confidence. Mu Jinxi explained.
"Business?" What business?
Mu Jinxi had no choice but to tell what had happened, which made the two of them feel relieved.
After hearing this, Father Mu suddenly looked at his daughter with some emotion, and had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, and finally just said: "Xiaoxi, Daddy has no ability, you just do it according to your own ideas!" ”
Although Mu Niangzi was a little worried, she couldn't bear to sweep her daughter's excitement and said, "Xiaoxi, your father is right, you ...... Just do what you like, just don't hurt yourself. ”
Mu Jinxi smiled and sighed that it was good to have enlightened parents, otherwise a woman's family would want to show up and do business...... It's hard!
