Chapter 250 Handing over tasks
The afterglow of the setting sun is like a layer of gauze, slowly filtering through the window paper and quietly falling into the house, making everyone's figure slender and ethereal, as if to add a bit of hazy poetry to this ordinary day.
As the sunlight gradually dims, the dim hue becomes increasingly intense, as if silently urging the passage of time.
Liu Haizhong was originally chatting with Qi Sihui about family matters.
The corner of his eye inadvertently caught sight of the darkening sky outside the window. He felt as if struck by an electric current and slapped his forehead hard. The crisp "pop" sound suddenly echoed in the house, attracting everyone's attention.
He turned around quickly and said to the second aunt in a rapid-fire manner: "Mother, look at the time it is now, it's almost dark, we can't let Xiaohui go hungry, we have to hurry and cook!"
His words were full of anxiety, and his speech speed was as fast as beans pouring out of a bamboo tube. There was a bit of regret and self-blame in his eyes, as if he was blaming himself for being careless and how could he have forgotten such a crucial matter.
After all, this was Xiaohui's first visit. Although everyone had gotten along very well before, who could guarantee that she hadn't inadvertently given him any bad thoughts?
If we don't prepare a proper, sumptuous and delicious meal to entertain them now, how can we make up for those minor flaws from before and get our dignity back? We can't let down at this critical juncture.
As he spoke, he reached into his pockets and fumbled around for a long time.
After a while, he solemnly held in his hands a few wrinkled but heavy bills, as well as a few banknotes that were already somewhat patinaed.
He was seen walking towards the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu with firm and powerful steps.
His expression was extremely serious, as if he was shouldering an extremely sacred and crucial mission at the moment.
Walking closer, he carefully handed them the money and bills in his hand, and began to instruct them carefully: "You two, you must prick up your ears and listen carefully! Take these money and bills, move quickly, and quickly go to the market to buy some meat. If there is a chance, find a way to get a lively and fresh fish. Today, we must fill the table with delicious food and make it lively. No one is allowed to be careless about this matter!"
As he spoke, his rough big hands gently stroked the thin bills back and forth.
You know, although the Liu family is not a wealthy and prominent family, the family's life is usually well-fed and well-clothed, and they never lack pocket money to spend.
Especially Liu Haizhong himself, who has worked diligently and conscientiously in the factory for most of his life and has a stable salary of more than 60 yuan every month.
Therefore, taking out a part of this money to entertain Qi Sihui is a piece of cake and no problem at all.
There is no need to be so thrifty or penny-pinching.
When the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu saw the money their father handed over, their eyes instantly became like lit torches, dazzlingly bright, and the corners of their mouths seemed to be pulled by invisible threads, and they couldn't help but smile upwards, their hearts filled with joy.
However, this joy seemed to have overturned a bottle of five flavors, mixed with a unique sour taste, not to mention how unpleasant it was.
They pondered secretly in their hearts, staring at their father's aggressive posture, and couldn't help but murmur in their hearts.
My father's favoritism towards my eldest brother was almost exposed to everyone without any concealment.
It was just a blind date who came to visit, but my father was so generous that he gave her five dollars and repeatedly reminded her to prepare a sumptuous and complete meal.
Thinking of this, the two couldn't help but look at each other, understanding each other tacitly.
If one day it were their turn to get married, I'm afraid their father would start counting on his fingers and would become extremely stingy, just to get the matter done carelessly.
Just thinking about it made them feel as if their hearts were blocked by a huge rock, making them feel extremely uncomfortable.
After all, we are all our father’s biological children, so why is there such a huge difference in treatment?
It is really hard to accept, and the feeling of imbalance in my heart becomes stronger and stronger.
However, when their eyes fell on the real banknotes in their hands again, their minds started to move involuntarily.
I quickly calculated in my head: As long as I was a little more frugal and planned my expenses carefully, I would definitely be able to save some pocket money.
How nice it would be to use the money to buy yourself a new pair of shoes, or to purchase some delicious snacks and specialties that you could only eye on normally!
Thinking of this, my originally depressed mood seemed to be slightly comforted by this little thought.
What's more, there's a sumptuous banquet at home today, and I might even be able to benefit from it and have a delicious meal with at least two meat dishes to go with the rice. Just thinking about it makes my stomach start to rumble.
The two brothers had made up their minds and rushed out the door without delay. Their steps were as light as springs and each step was filled with excitement. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from the doorway, leaving behind only a cloud of dust.
