Chapter 68: Finally convincing Archie's father on money
At the critical moment, Archie said coldly again: "Please let us go abroad without spending that old man's money!" It's the money spent by the clothing company he works for! ”
When he calmed down, he was surprised to find that he had taken care of his father.
"Oh, that makes sense. Public...... Eat and drink. Archie's father immediately agreed with his son's words.
When everyone was just relieved, they heard Archie's father scream again.
"That's not right! You must be lying to me! It's definitely not 10,000 yuan! Archie's father said in a determined voice.
Archie and Grandma couldn't help but glance at each other, and the big and small hands couldn't help but hold each other, subconsciously trying to find support.
"It must be ten thousand dollars! Or 10,000 euros! Archie's father continued with great certainty.
"Then, how much is that equivalent to RMB?" Grandma asked weakly.
"Sixty or seventy thousand, right? Seventy or eighty thousand? Eighty or ninety thousand? In short, almost less than 100,000! Archie's father dared to guess. He is not very clear about the exchange rate of the US dollar against the yuan and the exchange rate of the euro against the yuan.
"Hey, boy, boy!" Grandma laughed angrily, "You're wrong. ”
"Am I wrong?"
"You think, that fashion designer, he went to China and could buy food for dollars? Can you buy something to drink for euros? Are you a petty trader and hawker, do you recognize foreign money? No! When he arrives at our territory, he has to use our money!
In the same way, he gave us foreign money, do we have the ability to spend it? Nope! So he gave Chinese money! Renminbi! ”
Grandma's words were obviously not a temporary uprising, but she had always thought so. Grandma didn't know that even if a foreigner gave her dollars or euros, she could still exchange them from the bank for yuan.
Grandma said that it was more certain than Archie's father, and Archie's father thought about it and had to agree. Anyway, he himself listened to two sentences from Cui Peiya, and he didn't know what the situation was, and he didn't want to understand, he just wanted to know how much money the old lady had gotten.
As for how much money, he didn't have an accurate number in his own mind, and it all relied on fraud.
After a lot of fraud, he came up with a result of "spending 10,000 yuan with public funds", which made him both satisfied and dissatisfied. What is satisfied is the sense of accomplishment that comes from fraud, and what is dissatisfied is "really stingy, just so little, so disappointed".
"It's too picky." He said to his phone.
"They also gave a lot of painting gifts, all kinds of paints, all kinds of colored pens, and even a lot of paper. Oh, and gave us this phone! All Inclusive Mobile Phone Bills! Enough interesting.
In the end, it's just that the girl casually drew some pictures, and she gave so many gifts to others, and they just didn't give you money, don't we still have to be grateful?
What's more, people not only sent things to paint, but also gave Qiao girl clothes, and invited us to play in his hometown. I'm embarrassed with my old face. ”
Probably Archie's father was completely convinced by his grandmother's words and fell silent.
The silence tasted exactly the same as the silence when his grandmother took the initiative to call him, which meant "don't make trouble for me".
Seeing that the matter with the foreign fashion designer was over, the grandmother gently changed the topic: "Boy, you and their mother haven't been back for four or five years, right?" It's not easy to mix outside, but it's good to come back? ”
"Come back? What to eat when you come back? What to drink? Eat the northwest wind and fart? ”
The grandmother didn't care about her biological son: "I thought, if you don't want to work in the fields, you can always go to the primary school to be a gatekeeper." ”
