i'm really rich

Chapter 185
He Yuan closed the computer and went to the kitchen.

Tang Duoduo had already served the porridge, and cut the side dishes by the way.

She cut up the marinated kimchi, put it in a small dish, and drizzled it with spicy oil.

The quantity does not seem to be a lot, but the white and red kimchi looks very refreshing, and it is topped with spicy oil, which looks very appetizing.

He Yuan sat at the dining table, opened the bottle of fermented bean curd on the table, and took out a piece of fermented bean curd from it.

People of the older generation also liked to eat like this. At that time, there was a kind of red dough called "bean dregs cake", which should be made of a mixture of bean dregs and chili noodles.

But after so many years, it is difficult for He Yuan to see this kind of food that only exists in memory.

After Tang Duoduo finished, she wiped her hands with a rag and sat down at the dining table.

She is acting now, looking more and more calm, with a little grown-up feeling.

This made He Yuan feel happy, but at the same time, he was still a little depressed - the child is too mature, it's a bit uncomfortable to be a parent.

He Yuan is not old-fashioned, he will not be like his father, forcing his children to be sensible, polite, and have good academic performance, just like other children's children.Children of this age should cry, make trouble, and go crazy.

But when he thought of Tang Duoduo's experience, He Yuan sighed in his heart again, such a young child had carried something that was not her responsibility too early, so it can only be said that everything is fate.

He suddenly remembered the time when he first met Tang Duoduo, who looked gentle and quiet, but was very vicious when he was familiar with him.Wearing black silk, she is a girl who dresses herself up like a prostitute, but in private she is full of guard against the people around her.

That is aggressive, yet quiet, probably Tang Duoduo's truest appearance.

The two were eating, and the process was very quiet.

To be honest, He Yuan didn't know the difference between porridge and porridge before.

Until one time, a friend along the coast told him that there is a big difference.

For porridge, it needs to be boiled for a long time, usually a few hours. The cooked porridge is relatively thick, easy to digest, and has high nutritional value; One point, the loss of nutritional value is relatively severe.

Seeing how eloquently she said, He Yuan was too embarrassed to interrupt her.In fact, He Yuan feels that they are all in the same pot anyway, and will be eaten in the end. Even if the nutrition is lost, it will not be lost in the stomach in the end.

After eating, Tang Duoduo started to clear the table again.

Because breakfast is eaten in the kitchen, it is more convenient for Tang Duoduo to clean up.

Here, there are several places to eat. When there are few people, or when eating breakfast, they are in the kitchen; when there are many people, they go to the living room; Clean up the table, plug in the battery stove, and cook a hot pot or something. When Lao Huang came over last time, they ate hot pot in the study; if they want to barbecue, they can go to the yard, the set that He Yuan bought The open-air grill is still placed under the wooden rack.

In fact, He Yuan still wants to eat barbecue recently, but it's too cold, washing vegetables, stringing vegetables and so on are too much trouble.He plans to wait until the Spring Festival is over and the weather gets warmer before going out to make barbecues.

"By the way, when do you think we will move there?"

While Tang Duoduo was washing the dishes, He Yuan lit a cigarette and asked.

To be honest, in winter, he really doesn't want to wash dishes.Especially now that he is using the computer again, every time after washing the dishes, he always feels uncomfortable when his fingers touch the computer.

But he kept asking Tang Duoduo to wash it, and he felt embarrassed, as if he was taking advantage of others, so He Yuan thought about whether he should buy a dishwasher sometime.

Tang Duoduo turned on the hot water, soaked the bowl in the sink, and sprinkled it with dish soap.

After soaking the rag in hot water, Tang Duoduo dipped it in some dish soap, picked up the bowl, and wiped the rag along the edge of the bowl. After doing this twice, a bowl was cleaned.

Put the washed bowls aside, Tang Duoduo washed the other bowls one by one, and then put the washed bowls under the faucet again. After rinsing, wipe dry with a dry rag. Put it back in the cupboard.

After finishing these, Tang Duoduo wiped his hands and said, "Are you going to move now?"

He Yuan was a little hesitant when he heard Tang Duoduo's question.

To be honest, after living in the old house for a long time, He Yuan is completely used to it.

Not to mention whether it is comfortable or not to live here, just the renovation and design of the entire yard, and even every piece of furniture here, was personally selected by He Yuan, which took a lot of time, energy, and...feelings.

If someone asked him before, if you had such a house, would you live in other places, He Yuan would definitely think that the person who asked this question was probably crazy.

Originally hiding in this comfort zone and living a lazy life every day, it seems to be not bad.

However, after experiencing the incident last time, He Yuan understood that he was not qualified to live such a life.

"It's not in a hurry. At the latest, it can be in the next year." He Yuan said.

The things agreed with Lao Huang will not start until the end of the year at the earliest. During this period of time, He Yuan and the others live here, and there is no problem.

"Then let's talk about it after a year." Tang Duoduo said.

Seeing Tang Duoduo's nonchalant expression, He Yuan was speechless.

Obviously, the little girl didn't want to move, but He Yuan didn't really want to move either.

Besides, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and everyone is buying new year's goods, who will run over to help him move.

All right, just move after the next year and live there for a while.

"By the way, you got up so early today, what's the matter?" He Yuan asked again.

"It's nothing, can't I get up early, I usually get up earlier than this." Tang Duoduo looked at He Yuan with a strange expression.

It's true, Tang Duoduo usually wakes up at seven o'clock. After making breakfast, she goes to school after eating.After all, she woke up a little later than usual today.

But He Yuan takes himself as the standard. In his opinion, on weekends, one should just sleep in. Otherwise, how can it be called weekends.

Hey, I'm still a child after all, I don't know how precious the opportunity to sleep in on weekends is.When she goes to work in the future, if she wants to sleep in, she will have no chance.

"If you have nothing to do, then follow me into the city to buy new year's goods." He Yuan said.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and He Yuan hasn't bought the New Year's goods yet.

Although he didn't buy anything in the past, at most, when he came back, he brought some small gifts for his family in his hand, and when he left, he brought some local products from his hometown to take back.

However, something is different this year.

This is the first time for He Yuan to spend a complete New Year in his hometown.

"Buying new year's goods... good." Tang Duoduo tilted her head and thought for a while, then agreed.

He Yuan rested for a while, then drove Tang Duoduo into the city.

Because it was early in the morning, the small town seemed relatively deserted, and the shopping mall had just opened. Except for some old grandpas and old ladies who came to check whether there were any discounted products, the rest were shopping guides.

He Yuan chose a larger shopping mall. The staff inside were either doing hygiene, arranging goods, or pasting labels.

He Yuan took a look, maybe it was because of the Chinese New Year, the decorations in the shopping mall looked more festive, and various discount labels and brands appeared one after another, He Yuan's eyes were almost dazzled.

He took a small trolley, and Tang Duoduo walked back and forth between the shelves.

"By the way, what do you want to buy?" Tang Duoduo asked casually while looking at the products beside her.

What she held in her hand was a box of canned dried fruit, which cost five or sixty yuan for a palm-sized can.I don't know if there are more rich people in the small county, or if the merchants are drifting away. In short, the current commodity prices are more expensive than the other.

Like a few years ago, the chicken feet with pickled peppers that little girls loved most cost only a few yuan a bag, and the more expensive ones were only five or six yuan.Now, He Yuan took a look. The big bags of pickled peppers and chicken feet are basically more than ten yuan a bag, and the number of chicken feet inside is very small. Basically, there may be one or two chicken feet in a bag. Neither is enough.

Are prices soaring so high now?
He Yuan scratched his head.

Because he doesn't often buy snacks, He Yuan doesn't pay enough attention to these things.I bought it online a few times before, because it was a discount, plus the coupons subsidized by the website, it was very cheap, so He Yuan didn't pay attention.

After going to the shopping mall this time, there were no discounts when shopping online, and there were no various red envelopes. It was the first time that He Yuan really felt the impact of rising prices...it was too damn expensive.

Although I haven't been to a supermarket for two years, the prices are a bit exaggerated compared to what I remember. Many items have increased by two or three times. They are originally quite "civilian" snacks. It turned into a "luxury product", and He Yuan didn't dare to do it for a while.

He didn't know whether the world was too crazy or he was out of date.

Looking at the dazzling variety of New Year's goods, He Yuan was a little uncertain: "What did you all buy before?"

"You don't know?" Tang Duoduo put down the jar of dried fruit and looked at He Yuan in surprise.

He Yuan nodded honestly.

He used to go home and just eat.

He eats what he has at home, and he doesn't eat what he doesn't have at home.

"Generally there should be some melon seeds and peanuts." He Yuan hesitated.

Anyway, when he used to celebrate the New Year, every household basically had these things.

Especially when the adults were playing cards after dinner, He Yuan was bored by himself, so he grabbed a handful of melon seeds and hid in the corner, knocking the melon seeds while looking out the window, and there was a sound coming from the TV playing in his ear. Yes, the sound of the Spring Festival Gala.

At that time, He Yuan was thinking, how boring, if only he could go out and surf the Internet.However, this link generally cannot be implemented until the lucky money is received.

Although most of the New Year's money had to be handed in, He Yuan was still able to leave two or three hundred yuan, which was basically his expenses for the entire Spring Festival—or, in other words, the Internet fee for the entire Spring Festival.

"Who still eats those things now?" Tang Duoduo looked at He Yuan speechlessly.

It felt like watching a primitive man crawling out of the ground.

Seeing her eyes, Rao He Yuan has thickened his skin these days, but he still couldn't help but blush.

Originally, He Yuan's life experience was not rich. Over the years, all his energy has been spent on work, and he has never paid attention to these things that everyone takes for granted.

When I was in BJ before, I didn’t feel much. After all, everyone didn’t talk about these things. Everyone talked about work, industry, and the development of the Internet. The lowest level was also a certain department, a certain project, right? Come on.

But in my hometown, everyone discusses life, such as various festivals, various customs... To be honest, He Yuan really doesn't know anything about customs. He doesn't even know how to eat dumplings on any festival. clear.For some festivals that are not holidays, his eyes are even darkened.

It can be said that He Yuan is a qualified post-90s middle-aged man who grew up under the "policy". All his knowledge of holidays comes from whether the country has holidays or not.

Like the winter solstice, the beginning of spring, etc. He Yuan only knows when he swipes the screen in Moments, "Oh, there is such a thing".

But if you think about it carefully, it seems that there are fewer and fewer people who eat melon seeds and peanuts.

When taking the high-speed rail before, He Yuan felt that something was always missing.It wasn't until He Yuan got off the bus halfway, was smoking outside, and saw a seller of melon seeds and peanuts on the platform, that he remembered, oh, so the melon seeds and peanuts were missing.

He Yuan still remembers that when he went to BJ for the first time, he took the green leather train, which took more than 30 hours.At that time, the most memorable thing in his mind was the phrase "Puzzle with melon seeds and peanuts, beer and mineral water, and the ones in front of you put your legs away so that you don't block the aisle."

In my impression, when He Yuan took the high-speed rail before, he would often see people bringing melon seeds on the train.How long has it been? People on the high-speed rail have stopped eating melon seeds and peanuts, and even the small carts on the high-speed rail don’t sell these things anymore.

He Yuan once again felt that the world was developing too fast, and He Yuan could no longer keep up.

Just like more than ten years ago, people of the older generation were always lamenting that now is the world of young people, and they can no longer keep up.

At that time, He Yuan was still wondering what was wrong with the world, and why he couldn't catch up.

Unexpectedly, the feng shui took turns, how long did it take, and it was He Yuan's turn to express his emotions.

"Then what do you want to buy?" He Yuan couldn't think of it, so he simply didn't think about it.

Since it is the world of young people now, let the young people think about it.

Tang Duoduo probably didn't expect that He Yuan would directly throw the question back to her.

Here it can be seen that Tang Duoduo is an honest person, because she really started to think seriously.

"This... dried fruit should be a must. I saw them buy a lot of dried fruit during the Chinese New Year last year." Tang Duoduo thought for a while, then pointed to the dried fruit beside him.

dried fruit?

OK, buy it!
Although he complained about the price of the dried fruit, He Yuan still took several boxes without blinking his eyes.

Even when he saw the dried fruit box in a gift box next to him, He Yuan also slipped two boxes away, whether it was to send home, relatives, or Tian Rui's parents, they were all needed.

Just these three boxes of dried fruit cost about 800 yuan, plus what I ate at home, a total of [-] yuan was spent.

It's no wonder that when it comes to the Chinese New Year, those businesses are like crazy.

He Yuan felt a little pain when he bought these things... Don't look at him buying computers and furniture, spending thousands or tens of thousands at once, without blinking his eyes, but when it comes to food, He Yuan really doesn't care. Spent so much money at once.

Thinking about it again, every time during the Chinese New Year, those who eat at home, give gifts, all kinds of messy and fancy things, probably spend a lot of money-the hometown is very particular about face, if things are not valuable , even if it is very good, it cannot be delivered.

What they give is not practicality, but "face". In their eyes, things with low prices have no "face" and cannot be sold.

Therefore, although the daily consumption in third- and fourth-tier cities is somewhat tepid, it is definitely the time when all kinds of high-consumption blowouts erupt during the holidays.

Even a "reasonable" person like He Yuan, driven by the idea of ​​"It's Chinese New Year anyway, have fun, buy what you should buy", will buy things that you don't usually use, let alone things in your hometown. Those old people who are very particular about "face" and "rules".

"As for the sugar, let's have some too. Don't buy the packaged ones, but buy some in bulk and by weight." Tang Duoduo pointed to the snack area again, and said to He Yuan.

sugar?
OK, buy it!
He Yuan put the dried fruit into the trolley, pushed the trolley, and followed Tang Duoduo to the bulk sugar area, and began to pick out the sugar.

To be honest, if He Yuan was alone, he would never buy such things as sugar.

It's not that he doesn't eat. He Yuan bought a bunch of snacks and put them at home, waiting for Tian Rui to come over and eat them together.

However, because the Chinese New Year is approaching, Tianrui Hotel is very busy, and it has been a while since He Yuan has been here. He Yuan usually peels off a candy and puts it in his mouth when he has nothing to do.

That kind of Wangzai toffee, or the big white rabbit toffee, a whole bag, he can eat a whole in the afternoon, and after eating... he feels pain in his cheeks.

When He Yuan ate candy, he never licked the candy little by little.Basically, it is contained in the mouth, and when the candy softens a little, you can't help but start chewing.It feels like eating sweets is like eating French fries, one after another, I can't stop at all.

Fortunately, He Yuan's habit is to eat sometimes, and not to eat when not.

So, after the candy at home was finished, He Yuan's obsessive-compulsive behavior stopped.

I have to say that there are more and more types of sugar now.

Those candies in the past, the packaging is not good-looking, and it tastes terrible.

I remember that every year during the Chinese New Year, when I went to my grandma's house, my grandma would take out a big bag.There are various flavors of melon seeds and peanuts, such as butter, dry fried, plain, and the rest are all kinds of sugar.

But He Yuan would only pick some candies he likes to eat, such as white rabbits, corn candies, various soft candies, and Dove chocolates—but what I have to say is that He Yuan felt that at that time, there were many sweets in the supermarket. Many of the loose chocolates sold are fake.

The chocolate is very hard and not brittle at all. After biting it, it will basically not become soft, but will be broken into a lot of residues, which is very uncomfortable to eat.

The kind of things that are usually put out, five yuan a catty, no one buys, put on Dove's clothes, put them in the supermarket, and sell Dove at a grandiose price-it can only be said that people nowadays , Once there is no face, there is no lower limit at all.

Not everything in the supermarket is genuine.

Those sailors who are clamoring that "online shopping is too fake, but real products in physical stores" should really stuff a handful of chocolates into their mouths.

If you buy fake goods online, you can at least return the goods or get your money back through Taobao customer service.No matter how bad it is, you can also leave a bad review on the Internet to disgust the business.But you buy a guy in the supermarket, you go to someone else, and no one pays attention to you.

If there is a big trouble, someone will just dump you, "The goods we buy are like this, if you have the ability, go to the manufacturer."

The old people in the past were relatively straightforward. If they really bought fake products, they would definitely go to the supermarket to argue.At that time, He Yuan was worried that this kind of thing would happen, so although he knew that what he ate was fake, he didn't tell his grandma.

Those who celebrate the Chinese New Year are unhappy because of this little thing, why bother.

Besides, when the old man buys these things, he doesn't eat them himself. As long as He Yuan doesn't tell her, she won't know, and she is still happy there, so happy.

But when it was his turn, He Yuan was very concerned.

After comparing it there for a long time, I confirmed that what I bought was not a fake, so I picked some candy and put it in a bag.

He didn't buy much, just a small bag of each type, but there were many types, maybe a dozen or so, with various flavors and types of sugar.

Especially on the candies that Tang Duoduo's eyes had lingered on, He Yuan paid a little attention, and when he found suitable ones, he put them into bags and weighed them together.

Soon, after buying candy, He Yuan asked Tang Duoduo what he should buy next.

This time, Tang Duoduo was also in trouble.

She looked around in the supermarket for a long time, and said, "Next... Next, should I buy some fruit?"

"I'm going to buy fruit so soon." He Yuan scratched his head.

He looked at the trolley. Although there were a lot of things in it, the variety seemed to be too small.

"Otherwise, what do you think you should buy?" Tang Duoduo glanced at He Yuan.

"What to buy..." He Yuan stroked his chin and began to think about it.

It seems that there is really nothing to buy.

"By the way, are you going to have a New Year's Eve dinner?" Tang Duoduo asked suddenly.

"New Year's Eve dinner?" He Yuan was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Tang Duoduo, and found that she was looking into the distance.

He Yuan followed her gaze and saw the aquatic product area, as well as various places selling meat and cooked food.

"Forget it, you should go back to eat." Tang Duoduo said, turning his gaze away, his voice a little low.

Hearing this sentence, He Yuan's heart felt as if it was suddenly held down by someone.
