Zheng Guixiang handled a large order in recent months. Most of the pigs in the farm were sold. He felt relieved after getting the money back. Then he saw that his family had changed a lot and he liked his children very much.

The fortune teller was right. His children were all outstanding people, but their luck was sucked away by the man named Qi.

Thinking of his past mistakes, Zheng Guixiang wanted to make amends. During dinner, he said with great enthusiasm: "Just wait, Dad has already found some connections and asked someone to help him. I will go to the city in a few days to buy a TV."

At that time, there was only one family in the village that had a TV, and everyone liked to go to their house to watch TV in the evening.

Television is not only for watching news and TV dramas, it is also a symbol of status.

At that time, having a TV in the countryside was definitely a glorious thing, especially for Zheng Guixiang, who had always been trampled in the mud. What he wanted was to prove his identity.

It’s a pity that he was the first person in the village to build a red brick house, and didn’t have the chance to be the first person in the village to own a TV. Now that he has money, he must buy one.

Unfortunately, none of the three children in the family supported him.

Zheng Feizhou...I can't finish the homework my sister assigns me every day, so how can I have time to watch TV? I can't do my homework while you guys watch TV.

Zheng Hanqiu/Juzi...they simply don't want any strangers to come to their home.

They also knew the family in the village that had a TV, that was Ma Lili's family.

I heard from Ma Lili that there are people watching TV at home every day. There are only a few channels, and sometimes they watch repetitive things. But there are always a lot of people squatting there every day, making the house never clean.

"Don't you want to buy a TV?" Zheng Guixiang didn't expect this to be such a dull moment. It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him and most of his enthusiasm had gone. Children should all like watching TV.

Zheng Hanqiu said disdainfully: "If we had a TV at home, many people would come to watch TV at home. It would be dirty and messy and disgusting."

She likes an orderly and tidy space.

Zheng Juzi also doesn't like outsiders coming to her house all the time, which is inevitable since there is a TV.

He turned a corner and said, "There are several families with the surname Qi in the village. If they come to our house to watch TV from time to time, wouldn't they take away our family's good fortune?"

It seems to be true. They are from the same village and they must know that people with the surname Qi can take advantage of their children's fortune. They come here every day with such a thick face, so why would he quarrel with them every day?

We are all from the same village. It doesn't make sense that if the Ma family bought a TV, the whole village could squeeze in to watch it, but if your family bought a TV, they wouldn't let the villagers watch it, right?

"This is something we need to think about carefully." Zheng Guixiang, who was originally very enthusiastic about buying a TV, was also shaken. The children had finally recovered and they could not be harmed again.

Zheng Feizhou, who had a shorter head, said in a low voice: "Watching TV will delay your studies."

The others were just hesitant, but when her son said this, Mu Xiaoyun immediately gave up, "Husband, don't buy a TV. Whatever you buy, it won't interfere with the child's studies."

Zheng Guixiang also thinks so. You don’t have to buy a TV to save face. Your children are your greatest support.

"Then, should we just deposit the money in the bank and earn the interest?" Zheng Guixiang was also helpless.

I always feel guilty if I don't buy something to show off my money.

"Dad, how much money do you earn?" Zheng Hanqiu asked tentatively, wondering if their family was now a millionaire.

If she is the daughter of a millionaire, she shouldn't be a child from a poor family, right?

Zheng Guixiang glared at her and said, "Why do you care so much about your child? Just study hard."

Obviously, Zheng Guixiang didn't want to tell his children about his family's past.

Children are not very careful with their mouths, so it’s better for them to know less.

Zheng Hanqiu curled his lips - everyone looks down on others after making money.

There was a power outage at home that night.

"Hanqiu, where did you put the kerosene lamp?" Mu Xiaoyun groped in the dark and wanted to get the kerosene lamp to light it.

Zheng Juzi turned on the power outage switch and the room became bright again.

"This thing is not cheap. How can you afford to buy it?" Mu Xiaoyun didn't have much concept of spending money, but she still couldn't bear to buy a power saver that cost more than ten yuan.

But the two daughters were not only willing to spend money, but also bought two.

"How much money did you give to the child? How could he be wasted like this?" Zheng Guixiang finally couldn't bear it anymore.

With so many pieces of furniture, soft furnishings, books, and power banks, it would cost hundreds of dollars no matter how you calculate it, maybe even more than a TV.

Mu Xiaoyun was also very upset. She was scared in the hospital, and the only way of compensation she could think of was to give money.

Time and again, she gave money when she felt the child might be short of money. She had no idea how much she had given in the past two months.

"It feels like only about one or two hundred... should... probably... just a little more than what we gave to the fifth brother." Mu Xiaoyun said uncertainly. She really didn't remember how much money she had given to the children.

My memory seems to be only about one or two hundred, but one or two hundred doesn't seem to be enough to buy so many things.

Zheng Juzi calmly handed her an account book. There was a page on it that clearly recorded that the total amount of money she had given to the children in the past two months was 365 yuan.

"This... is so much." I didn't feel much when I gave the money, but I was shocked when I saw the total amount.

So much money, the family may not have spent this much money in a year, but I spent so much money on the children in just two months?

Not to mention the men, even Mu Xiaoyun felt that she was a spendthrift.

"I've already bought everything, so I'll have a place to go." Mu Xiaoyun tried to make amends for herself, "We have time to live at home now, I'll take care of the expenses in the future, and we'll save as much as we can."

If you spend money here, you naturally have to save money there. Mu Xiaoyun is already thinking about how to save such a large sum of money through future savings.

Zheng Hanqiu didn't want to save money, "Mom, there's no need to save money, we can make money ourselves."

"We all make money and spend it together. Spending money is to buy happiness. Look how good life is now."

Mu Xiaoyun glared at her unhappily, "Whose family doesn't live well after spending money? You don't plan for the future at all!"

"With so much money, I can buy you a decent dowry!" She felt heartbroken just thinking about it. At this time, most people's dowry is only two or three hundred yuan, and her two daughters will squander it in two months.

She's only 11 years old? What do you mean by dowry? Zheng Hanqiu... Why can't I relate to this place?

Zheng Juzi looked at Zheng Guixiang eagerly and asked, "Dad, you are the pig farmer, but my sister and I only have this much dowry? It must be at least 10,000 or 20,000, right?"

"Is that all?" Zheng Guixiang felt more pain than his wife, and said unhappily, "Your fifth uncle has never made so much money in his life!"
