The stars and the moon were shining brightly, and Wang Yiding walked out of Qiao's house smelling of alcohol. The moment he stepped out of Qiao's house, he took a deep breath.
This time he visited, he didn't know whether it was considered a success or a failure.
Seeing the worried look on Wang Yiding's face, Sanli couldn't help but ask.
"Yiding, what are you thinking about?"
Wang Yiding smiled bitterly and said: "What do you think eldest brother's impression of me is? Is it good? Or bad?"
"Fool, of course it's good."
Sanli pursed her lips and smiled. Seeing her boyfriend's look of disbelief, she continued to explain.
"Do you know what my eldest brother is like in normal times?"
Wang Yiding shook his head: "I don't know."
Sanli pursed her lips and smiled slightly: "My eldest brother never drinks. Today he and you drank. What does this mean? I don't need to tell you?"
"Forehead."
Wang Yiding smiled sheepishly, he really didn't know these things.
"Stop thinking nonsense." Sanli smiled and waved her hand, reminding: "It's getting late, go back quickly."
"Then I'm leaving?"
"Well, go back and be careful when riding."
When he returned home, Wang Yiding still had a sweet smile on his face. However, as soon as he entered the door, he saw his mother sitting in the main room, and her face seemed to be a little bad.
"Where did you go at night?"
Yiding's mother shrugged her nose and smelled the smell of alcohol wafting in the air, and her face suddenly darkened.
In her impression, Ding was a good child since he was a child and never drank.
"Are you still drinking?"
Seeing that my mother's face looked strange, Wang Yiding's eyes drooped slightly, looking like a child who had been caught for making a mistake.
My mother didn't know about his love affair, but he didn't want to deceive her, so he just lowered his head and said nothing.
The scene suddenly became quiet. Yiding's mother stared at him for a long time, seemingly giving up on pursuing the matter, and brought up another matter.
"Forget it, since you don't want to say it and mom won't ask, you are getting older and you should make some friends."
"Just remember to pay attention to the time next time."
"Also, don't drink wine from now on."
Wang Yiding raised his head and glanced at his mother, nodded and said: "Well, Mom, I understand, I won't do it next time."
Yiding's mother waved her hand, as if she disliked the smell of alcohol.
"Hurry up and take a shower. You smell like alcohol. Don't smoke your brother later."
"Oh, oh, I'll go right away."
Wang Yiding nodded hurriedly, then got into the room, and walked out not long after holding his clothes.
When he walked out, he was surprised to see his mother still sitting in the main room.
"Mom? Aren't you still asleep?"
Yiding's mother looked confused: "Yiding, have you been paid this month's salary?"
Hearing this question, Wang Yiding's heart tightened and he stuttered.
"Sent."
Yiding's mother raised her eyebrows, and the meaning on her face couldn't be clearer.
Sent?
Now that it has been issued, why not hand it over?
In the past, every time his salary was paid, Wang Yiding would take the initiative to hand over his salary. In addition to leaving thirty or forty yuan for food, he would also hand over the remaining two hundred yuan.
This time, Yiding’s mother asked knowingly. Wang Yiding turned in his salary every month. How could she not know when Yiding’s salary was paid?
Wang Yiding saw his mother raising her eyebrows and quickly explained: "Mom, I...I need money this month. Can I keep the money?"
Yiding's mother asked: "Use money? Where to use money?"
"I...I..."
After "I"ing for a long time, Wang Yiding couldn't explain everything. He left the money to buy a gift for Sanli.
In more than a week, Sanli's birthday is coming. This is the first time he spends her birthday with Sanli, so naturally he wants to give her some gifts.
In order to give gifts, he specifically consulted the masters in the factory. After all, he was a young man who had never been in love, so he didn't know what to give.
The master is different. The master is someone who has been here before, and he definitely knows what to give to girls.
At first, his master suggested that he give him a women's watch as a gift. It didn't need to be too expensive, just buy one that costs one or two hundred dollars.
One or two hundred yuan is equivalent to two-thirds of their salary. It's not much, but it's not much.
However, this proposal was rejected by Wang Yiding because Sanli already had watches.
Later, his master suggested giving him a gold bracelet, but Wang Yiding wanted to use a necklace.
But with a gold price of more than eighty yuan per gram, how could he afford a necklace that weighed five to six grams with his monthly salary?
It is impossible for him to take money from home.
"Me? What am I?"
Seeing Wang Yiding looking in a dilemma, Yiding's mother immediately thought wrong.
Is it possible that this ‘son’ doesn’t want to continue paying money to the family?
In fact, there was something that Wang Yiding never knew. He was not my mother's biological son, but a child adopted from the countryside.
Back then, Yiding's mother couldn't get pregnant for a long time due to physical reasons. It would definitely be impossible to have a child at home.
Therefore, the couple brought one back from outside, hoping that someone would take care of him until he died.
But fate is like this. Two years after she held a child, Yiding's mother became pregnant again.
Not only did she get pregnant, but she also gave birth to a big fat boy.
Since then, Wang Yiding's family status has declined sharply. When it comes to food, clothing, and use at home, he must always look after his younger brother first.
Adopted ones are not as good as biological ones.
Wang Yiding himself doesn't think there is anything wrong with parents being partial. It's normal for parents to prefer their younger sons.
Unlike before, Yi Ding’s mother had no intention of letting her off lightly this time.
Not paying wages?
How does this work?
What if I develop a habit and no longer pay my salary?
Seeing that my youngest son is about to become an adult, he will have to marry a wife when he becomes an adult. There is no way to get a wife without spending money.
She is older now, and although she has not yet reached the retirement age, her income is not high. With her small salary, she cannot save enough money for her younger son to marry a wife.
Looking at the silent Yiding, Yiding's mother snorted softly through her nose.
"Um?"
After a long time, Wang Yiding gritted his teeth and said.
"Mom, I'm in a relationship. Her birthday is coming soon. I want to buy her a gift."
"Send a gift? Does it cost you one month's salary to send a gift?"
If the younger son is in love, let alone spending a month's salary on gifts, even letting her pay for it, a mother would be willing to do so.
But the eldest son is the eldest son, and the younger son is the younger son.
"Mom, I..."
Just when Wang Yiding was about to explain, Yiding's mother said directly.
"It's enough to buy a small gift worth a few dozen yuan later, and the remaining money will be left at home as before."
"I……"
Wang Yiding opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Yiding's mother had already turned around and left the main room.
