After resting for a while, Han Mingxiu took them out to eat.

In the rural areas of Northeast China, they eat two meals in winter, the one in the morning at nine o'clock, and the evening meal at two or three o'clock in the afternoon. At this point, it was time for the dinner of the evening.

When the eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law heard that Han Mingxiu was going to take them down to the restaurant, they hurriedly waved their hands and refused, saying: "Xiu, don't go out to Huo Huo Qian, just eat some at home, we brought bean buns, rice cakes, and dried vegetables, just put the pot hot and deal with a bite." ”

Han Mingxiu smiled and said, "Then what is Huo Huo Qian?" It's a pity that children rarely come to the capital and don't let them taste the characteristics of the capital, besides, I just got 800 yuan for the script, which is not bad for this meal. ”

Hearing Han Mingxiu say this, the eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law reluctantly agreed. But I told her that I had to eat less food at the restaurant, and the two of them were going to accompany the children, and the two of them were not used to eating in the restaurant, so they would come back to eat later.

Han Mingxiu also knew that the eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law wanted to save money for themselves. didn't say anything on his lips, but he smiled secretly in his heart: When you get to the restaurant, you can't help but stop eating......

A few people simply cleaned up and followed Han Mingxiu, who took them to the most famous Quanjude roast duck restaurant in the capital.

As soon as they entered, the eldest sister and their family were stunned by the luxurious and atmospheric storefront of this roast duck restaurant. One by one, they were stunned and scattered everywhere, and at first glance, they had never seen anything in the world.

Seeing them like this, Han Mingxiu felt quite distressed, it seemed that he really had to take them out to see and learn more. Otherwise, wherever they go, they will look like this hillbilly entering the city, and they will be easily looked down upon by snobs.

After sitting down, the eldest sister said a little uneasily: "Xiu'er, how much does it cost to eat a meal in such a restaurant?" Isn't it expensive? ”

Han Mingxiu smiled and said, "Sister, it's not expensive at all, you sit down first, I'll go order." ”

Afraid that the eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law would push back when she ordered, Han Mingxiu deliberately avoided the dishes they ordered.

There were nine people at the table. Not the smallest two, but there are seven people. Don't look at the fact that there are only three adults, but the strength of those four little girls should not be underestimated.

Rural children always do manual work, and they can eat themselves, and they must be hungry if they don't eat or drink well on the train.

Therefore, Han Mingxiu ordered a lot, in addition to ordering a whole roast duck, he also ordered eight drawers of lotus leaf cakes, eight sauces, and eight dishes.

If you don't eat such an old dish, you have to throw it away. With the careful strength of the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law, they will definitely be reluctant to throw it away, and they will definitely eat it with their bellies open.

After ordering, she went straight to the counter and settled the account. settled the account, so that the eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law would not feel pain when they saw her settle the bill......

After settling the bill, she returned to their table and said to the eldest sister's family:

"Sister, brother-in-law, let's eat first, after eating, I'll take you to walk around Wangfujing Street, it's too late today, it's too late to visit the scenic spot, let's go to Wangfujing today, and I'll take you to the Forbidden City tomorrow."

The eldest sister hurriedly said, "Don't you have to go to class tomorrow?" Don't delay your study for us, we can go around by ourselves, you tell us the route, and we will go by ourselves. ”

Han Mingxiu smiled and said, "Tomorrow is the weekend, rest." ”

When the eldest sister heard this, she smiled dumbly and said, "Look at me, I'm too confused." ”

Han Mingxiu said: "Even if it's not a weekend, it doesn't matter if you take two days off, now that the class has been finished and the general review is underway, I have already learned all the content in the class, and it doesn't matter if I don't review for two days." ”

As he spoke, the waiter brought the sauce up.

In the delicate porcelain white plate, there are a pinch of shredded green onions of the same thickness, a little reddish-brown sweet paste, and a little shredded cucumber and small pickles.

Seeing the shredded green onions and cucumbers being so finely modulated, the eldest sister suddenly felt that the most common green onion and cucumber in their countryside had also become taller!

Just staring at the plate of sauce, the waiter came to serve the dish again.

The first is a plate of sauced duck goods, which contains sauced duck palms, sauced duck gizzards, sauced duck intestines, sauced duck liver, and a large plate full of sauce, and the duck goods in it are all sauced reddish-brown. I didn't have to wait to eat it, just looking at the color was enough to make people salivate.

"You're all hungry, don't just look at it, come on, come on, eat!"

Han Mingxiu sandwiched a sauce duck palm into the eldest sister's bowl and asked everyone to start moving chopsticks.

My sister kindly put it in the bowl for her to eat, and of course Han Mingcui would not refuse. So he took the duck paw and gnawed it.

Han Mingcui started, and the rest of the people followed suit, you sandwich a chopsticks duck gizzard, I sandwich a chopsticks duck liver, and eat lively.

I have to say that the food in the hotel is delicious. The taste can't even be compared to the big rooster stewed at home and the braised elbow meat.

Several of the children came with hungry children. Although this plate of sauce duck dishes is quite large, it can't stand the large number of people, let alone so many hungry stomachs devouring it......

Everyone, you have chopsticks and I hold them together, and after a while, a large plate of sauce and duck goods will be at the bottom.

At this time, the second and third courses also came up in time.

The second course is steamed sea bass, and the third course is stir-fried duck intestines.

Steamed fish generally takes a short time, and stir-fry does not take a long time, so these two dishes are served quickly.

Seeing this delicious dish, the children were all shocked and continued to eat with chopsticks.

The taste of the sea bass is delicious, and the taste of the fried duck intestines is also great. The children ate very happily, but the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law ate very reservedly. It's not that they're not hungry, it's not that they don't like to eat. It's just that they are a little reluctant to put down their chopsticks and want to leave this delicious dish for the children to eat.

It wasn't until the fourth and fifth dishes came up one after another that the eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law dared to put down their chopsticks.

When the sixth or seventh dishes came up, the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law were a little overwhelmed.

"Xiu, why did you order so many dishes? How can we eat so much? ”

Han Mingxiu smiled and said, "If you can't eat it, you throw it away, as soon as you come back, you can't ask you to eat the dishes to the bottom, right?" ”

When the eldest sister heard this, she hurriedly said: "How can you throw away such a good dish, this is what we spent money on, and we can't throw it away at all, if we can't eat it, let's take it back and keep it for the next meal, it's also good." ”

Han Mingxiu said: "What are you going to bring?" Do you hold it in your hand? You can't just go out and buy a few plates just to bring some food back, right? ”

Hearing Han Mingxiu say this, the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law quickly gave up the idea of saving some food and keeping it for the children, or saving some food to save money for their younger sister, and picked up chopsticks and ate it.

In the end, the roast duck came up, and the lotus leaf cake followed.

The golden roast duck made everyone's appetite even stronger.

The chef of the roast duck slices served the roast duck slices in front of them, put them on two plates, and served them to the table.

Han Mingxiu first gave them a sample and taught them how to eat roast duck.

Everyone was attracted by this exquisite way of eating, and they rolled the lotus leaf cakes one by one and ate them. While eating, I couldn't help but praise: "Well, it's delicious, it's so fragrant......"

Seeing them eat so deliciously and eat so satisfied, Han Mingxiu's heart was also very happy.

She has always been a person who cares about family affection very much, and seeing her relatives enjoying and being so happy under her care, she feels that the meal is worth it.

After eating, everyone felt like they were almost eating their necks. I burped one by one, and my stomach was round.

However, the dishes on the table were all at the bottom, and there was only some duck soup left, because this duck soup could be added for free. They've already added it twice, so even if there's some soup left, it's not a pity.

After eating, the family followed Han Mingxiu out with satisfaction. Then, everyone began to walk around Wangfujing Street.

Wangfujing Street is a very prosperous street, not only are there shops on both sides of the street, there are always cars coming and going on the street, everyone looks at the shops on both sides of the street, the cars that come and go, and the eyes are almost enough.

"Oh, the capital is so good, we can't see a car on the road there for half a day, but the cars on the capital road are one after another, it's really awesome." Niu Niu sighed again.

Gao Guangbin said: "If you don't say that your aunt will let us come out to see the world, this capital is different, we have never seen so many cars in our lives." ”

Hearing the two of them talking about cars, Han Mingxiu said with a smile: "In the next few decades, cars will not be a rare thing, and when the time comes, every household will have a car, and anyone will be able to drive this thing." ”

When Gao Guangbin heard this, he shook his head again and again and said, "Then how can it? It costs a lot of money to buy a car, right? How many lifetimes do you have to save to save that old money? It's impossible, if you want to say that every household can have a bicycle and can't get it, if you say that every household can have a car, I won't believe it. ”

Han Mingxiu smiled and didn't argue with him, she also knew that her words would be incredible and unreasonable for people of this generation to hear.

In fact, if she hadn't survived once, she wouldn't have believed that the economy of later generations could develop so fast and the people's living standards could reach such a high level.

But that's the case, in the next few decades, the car is a very common commodity in the family, it is not surprising at all, remember that in the nineties and even before 2010, many communities in the capital did not build underground garages, and did not set aside parking areas, because I did not expect that in the next ten years, every family could buy a car.

People didn't believe it at that time, let alone people now!

"Huh? Look, there's a big store! ”

When shopping on the street, Niuniu suddenly saw the Capital Department Store and immediately stretched out her hand excitedly.

It's natural for women to like to go to the mall, and Niuniu is certainly no exception.

Seeing the department store, not only Niuniu was excited, but even Han Mingcui was a little excited. Xiaoying and Xiaoli also pulled the corners of their mouths happily, looking at their aunt excitedly and expectantly......

Because they know that it is up to the aunt to decide where to go shopping.

Han Mingxiu saw everyone's expectant eyes, so he said, "Then let's go in and visit the department store, the department store has all the things, and you can buy everything you want." ”

When the children heard this, they all laughed happily and followed Han Mingxiu into the department store with great enthusiasm.

Han Mingxiu knew that the eldest brother-in-law and Jiabao would definitely not be willing to go to the mall, so they specially bought two strings of sugar gourds. Let the eldest brother-in-law sit on the chair where the customers rest on the first floor of the department store, feed Jiabao and Jiabei to eat sugar gourds, and their mothers go up to shop.

The eldest brother-in-law can't ask for it! So, I took my eldest son, hugged my younger son, and sat on a chair in the rest area to eat sugar gourds.

Han Mingxiu took her eldest sister and a few nieces and went straight to the women's clothing area on the third floor.

Han Mingcui gave birth to two sons in a row, and the burden on the family became heavier. Even if she has a salary every month, her eldest brother-in-law can do it, but the life at home is still a little tight.

The clothes they wore were still made of the fabric that Han Mingxiu had mailed back before, and they had long been old. If you wear it in the countryside, you can get by, but if you wear it in the capital, you can't wear it.

It's too rustic, it's too old, and it makes people look like poor rural people.

Han Mingxiu didn't want her eldest sister and niece to be treated by the people in the city with colored glasses, so she wanted to buy a beautiful dress for each of them, so that they would all be happy.

When the eldest sister saw Han Mingxiu taking them to the women's clothing area, she thought she was taking them to hang out. Unexpectedly, as soon as Han Mingxiu arrived there, he picked out several clothes and asked them to try them on.

Han Mingcui whispered: "Don't try, it's troublesome, let's just take a look." ”

Han Mingxiu knew that the eldest sister was reluctant to spend money on her, and if she proposed to buy clothes for them, the eldest sister would definitely not agree, so she whispered: "Try it, let's be beautiful, anyway, it doesn't cost money to try." ”

The eldest sister couldn't bear to brush off her sister's kindness, and although she was reluctant, she still took the clothes that her sister picked out for her and walked to the changing room.

Niuniu and Xiaoying also walked into the changing room with the clothes that their aunt picked out for them.

Han Mingxiu was waiting for them outside with Xiaoli and Xiaomeizi, Xiaoli and Xiaomeizi were still young, and their clothes would be bought at the place where children's clothes were sold, and there were no clothes they wore in this place.

Not long after, eldest sister, Niuniu Xiaoying all came out of the fitting room.

Han Mingxiu saw that his vision was really good, and the clothes he picked out for them fit well. And they are all very beautiful, and the whole person has been upgraded to a higher level when they are worn on the body.

The eldest sister stood in front of the mirror, looking at her beautiful clothes, and her heart was both happy and entangled.

How can a woman not love beauty, who doesn't want to dress up beautifully?

However, there are still a lot of children waiting to be raised at home. It doesn't cost much for the child to eat, but the child pays for the tuition.

It's like Niuniu is in junior high school this year, she eats at school every day and lives at school, and the cost of food and accommodation is a lot of expenses.

In the future, the five children in the family will have to spend so much!

If you calculate it this way, her salary and the money Gao Guangbin earns from farming every year, what is it really difficult to do......

Therefore, they have to save more for their children when they are young and strong.

After Han Mingcui turned around in front of the mirror, she had already made up her mind that no matter how good she looked at this dress, she couldn't spend money to buy it.

The clothes on Niuniu and Xiaoying are also very good-looking, and they look vigorous and youthful when they wear them.

Both of these children are big girls. Especially Niuniu, who is already in her first year of junior high school, is now studying in the town, and is easy to be underestimated by her classmates if she is too shabby, so let's buy one.

Just buy a body for Niuniu, and when Niuniu wears a small one in the future, Xiaoying will continue to pass on, and then Xiaoli can still pick up Xiaoying and wear a small one......

Thinking like this, Han Mingcui pointed to Niuniu and asked the salesperson, "Comrade, how much is the clothes on my eldest girl?" ”

The salesman took one look and said, "Fifteen." ”

As soon as Han Mingcui heard this number, his face suddenly turned a little pale. Fifteen yuan, which is almost enough to catch up with her monthly salary, why is it so much?

Niuniu is very sensible, as soon as she heard the salesperson's offer, she knew that this dress was not something her family could afford, so she hurriedly said, "I don't like yellow very much, I can't help but get dirty, let's go look elsewhere." ”

As he spoke, he hurried back to the changing room, took off the clothes on his body, changed back into his old clothes, and came out to return the clothes to the salesman.

Xiaoying is also very sensible, and when she saw that the eldest sister went to change her clothes, she didn't need anyone to say anything, so she consciously followed the eldest sister to the changing room and changed her clothes.

Han Mingcui was very relieved to see that the children were so sensible.

Actually, she really wanted to buy these two clothes with the children, but ...... I really can't afford it!
