Chapter 272: The Little Cannon Fodder in the Story of Running with the Ball 10
Zheng Xiaoxiao rested at home and took care of her baby. Zheng Bin really took good care of her! He made a nutritious breakfast in the morning and put it in the kitchen. He cooked her meals early in the afternoon and arranged for a courier to deliver them to her! He even prepared special tableware for her because he was afraid that disposable tableware was unhygienic. He also brought food back to her in the evening.
During my rest time, I would take my daughter to buy nutritional supplements, maternity clothes and baby products, or to the hospital for prenatal checkups.
As for the dishes, they were all prepared according to the menu for pregnant women. Her favorite dishes, fruits, candied fruits, and nuts were all prepared for her one by one. She was taken care of in every possible way!
Zheng Bin's colleagues all laughed at him, saying that he was spoiling his daughter so much, and he was not afraid of spoiling her. Whenever he heard this, he would answer with a smile, "No, my daughter's character is there, she can't be spoiled. I don't want my daughter's white and tender hands to be burned by greasy spots while cooking! Besides, doing these things is just a matter of flipping a spoon for me. And I am happy to do it for my daughter."
Seeing that he was so tired just to pamper his daughter, and that he was still enjoying it, his colleagues all shook their heads. They just wanted to have a good rest when they got home! Don't even think about him picking up a pot and a spatula when he got home. Moreover, if his wife didn't cook well or the food didn't suit her taste, he would still find fault with it.
Soon, more than a month passed. One day, her college roommate Li Jingshu called her and asked her to go shopping together and chat about life after graduation.
Zheng Xiaoxiao thought about it and agreed. She reported to her father and went out to keep the appointment!
When I arrived at the meeting place, I saw my sisters whom I hadn’t seen for more than a month, and we both found that each other had gained weight.
"Oh, oh, it seems like you haven't stopped talking in this month since we last met! You even have a double chin." Zheng Xiaoxiao walked around her and then looked at her and teased.
"It's the same for us. You're still laughing at me. How long has it been since you looked in the mirror?" Li Jingshu retorted without giving in.
"There's nothing I can do about it. My dad is a chef. Every pound of meat I gain is the greatest respect to the chef, do you understand? Otherwise he would have no sense of accomplishment!" Zheng Xiaoxiao was complacent.
"Look at what you are capable of. If you have the ability, you can learn your father's skills!" Li Jingshu rolled his eyes ungracefully.
"No, my father would not want to do that. One cook is enough for a family. If there are more, the neighbors will hate us!"
"Go away, go away. I know your father dotes on you, so stop showing off here. It's annoying to see you like this. Oh, time flies. It's been more than a month since graduation, and I don't know how those two are doing! I heard that Lin Ling found a job, and the three of us are still being idle at home!" Li Jingshu sighed, and then the two of them ran towards the mall hand in hand.
Li Jingshu's family is well off. Although they are not wealthy, at least they don't have to look at the prices when buying clothes in this mall.
The reason why she asked Zheng Xiaoxiao to come over was that they hadn't seen each other for a long time and she missed campus life, and because Zheng Xiaoxiao's taste for food was spoiled by her father, who was a chef. She couldn't eat ordinary food, but she could always find something delicious with her. But the bigger reason was because Zheng Xiaoxiao had a good eye for choosing clothes, and she could always pick the clothes that suited her best and were her favorite.
So she is the most suitable shopping partner. Not only can she pick out the things that suit her, but she can also eat delicious and inexpensive food! The other people in the dormitory like to go shopping with her. The things she recommends have never failed, and they will definitely return satisfied!
Before, Zheng Xiaoxiao might have just helped them choose, and she would only buy once out of ten trips. But since she came here, she has not been as frugal as before! She would buy the right clothes if she saw them, but she did not change too much. Others would choose several sets, while she would only buy one or two occasionally.
However, the whole shopping process was quite pleasant. They bought, ate and drank all the way. Before long, they couldn't put down their hands. They found a place to store their things, stored their items first, and then continued shopping.
It was not until the evening that the two returned with a lot of things to do. They also agreed to come back next month. The time will be decided later.
"I'm so tired, but it's fun." Zheng Xiaoxiao collapsed on the sofa when she got home! Most of her clothes and shoes today were bought for her father. The caring little cotton-padded jacket should also play a role, right?
When Zheng Bin came back, he saw his daughter slumped on the sofa like a boneless person, with the bags she had bought lying on the floor beside her. He smiled and asked her.
"Manman, you're back? Are you tired? Don't sleep now. Daddy will get you some hot water. Soak your feet in it to relieve your stress. After you're done soaking your feet, you can have dinner!" Zheng Bin put down what he was doing and was about to get her some water.
"Dad, don't be busy yet! Try these clothes and shoes first to see if they fit. If not, I will change them tomorrow." Zheng Xiaoxiao hurriedly stopped him!
"Bought it for me? Manman, Dad has a lot of clothes to wear, why did you spend that money?" Zheng Bin was stunned. He didn't expect that his daughter bought clothes for him.
"I know you have clothes to wear, but when your clothes are old, you have to buy new ones! Dad, go try them on and see if you like them?" Zheng Xiaoxiao quickly got up and stuffed the clothes into Zheng Bin's hands, then pushed him into the bedroom to let him try on the clothes.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll try. Don't push me, or I'll fall!"
Not long after, Zheng Bin came out wearing new clothes, a T-shirt with a jacket and pants, just right. Except for the hairstyle, everything else was perfect. It was just that he had been wearing a chef's hat for a long time, and his hair had collapsed. This outfit made him look several years younger. Well, her taste was really good.
Seeing Zheng Bin looking a little nervous and uncomfortable, and wanting to hear his daughter's opinion, Zheng Xiaoxiao immediately said that the emotional value at this time must be fully appreciated!
"Wow, Dad, you are so handsome! You have to dress like this in the future! But you can't go to places where there are many girls with this outfit, otherwise other girls will try to snatch my dad away. Such a handsome guy, they won't give him back to me. Where can I find such a perfect dad?" Zheng Xiaoxiao's eyes were shining, and she walked around from top to bottom, from left to right, and finally nodded, praising him non-stop.
"What are you talking about, kid? It's not as exaggerated as you say." Zheng Bin's face turned red when he was praised by his daughter, but he couldn't help but feel happy. Is it really that beautiful? But the fabric is quite comfortable. After saying that, he looked at the price tag on the clothes again! The smile on his face disappeared instantly. My goodness, this set must cost me a month's salary!
"Manman, why are these clothes so expensive? Can they be returned? It's such a waste for me to wear these clothes. I wear a chef's uniform all day and have no chance to wear other clothes. Kid, why don't you buy yourself a few sets of clothes with this money?..." Zheng Bin began to chatter!
Zheng Xiaoxiao didn't give him a chance to finish his words. She took a pair of scissors and cut off the tags on his clothes and pants in two clicks! This cut of scissors also cut off Zheng Bin's mumbling!
"Child, did you spend all your pocket money on buying clothes for me? Daddy will give you the pocket money right away." Zheng Bin started looking for his cell phone to transfer money to his daughter.
"Dad, I have money, you don't have to worry. Besides, my money is still yours! How can it be a waste if you wear this dress? No matter how expensive or good the clothes are, my dad is worthy of wearing them. Besides, aren't clothes made for people to wear?
This dress can only be worn by a person with a body shape and appearance like my dad. If someone else wears it, they may not be able to wear it in this mature and elegant style. It would be a waste for such a person to wear it! I have decided, dad, your clothes will be paid for by your daughter in the future." Zheng Xiaoxiao even stepped forward to straighten his collar!
"Come on, come on, this one is fine. Don't spend so much next time. Just be considerate. Leave your money to buy clothes for yourself. Dad will buy some if he has nothing to wear. Manman, be good and listen!" Zheng Bin looked at the tag in his daughter's hand and closed his eyes with some heartache. He touched the clothes carefully again. This was his monthly salary! How much baby formula could he buy with it!
Zheng Xiaoxiao knew he would be like this. He bought things for his daughter and wife, and as long as they liked them, he would be willing to spend money! But if he bought things for himself, they would be as cheap as they could be!
He always felt that he was a man with thick skin and flesh, so there was no need for him to wear such good shoes. If his shoes were torn apart, he could buy glue to fix them and wear them again.
"Dad, don't worry about money! Money is earned, not saved. I can make money by myself. Come with me first, I'll show you something." Zheng Xiaoxiao mysteriously pulled Zheng Bin to the computer and tapped on the keyboard a few times. Then show Zheng Bin the data!
"Three hundred and twenty-four thousand five? Manman, where did you get this money? Huh?" Zheng Bin was a little stunned. He had saved so much money for so many years but still couldn't save so much. Did his daughter go to rob someone? Thinking of this, his face suddenly became serious.
"Dad, what are you thinking about? This is the money I made from stock trading." God knows, time is short. She only put 20,000 yuan into the stock market, and after all the effort, she only doubled it.
Zheng Xiaoxiao had no choice but to start her original business again, taking on some translation work online, short articles, novels, homework, etc. It took her more than two months of hard work to save this much!
It seems that I have to take some time to gamble on rocks or buy lottery tickets. The speed of making money is too slow! But the deposit that she disliked for making money too slowly, in Zheng Bin's eyes, the speed of making money was like a rocket.
"Investing in stocks? Is it so profitable to invest in stocks? Don't frame me. My colleague invested in stocks and lost everything he had. They are now preparing for a divorce!" Zheng Bin obviously didn't believe what his daughter said!
