Qi Taiguo and Cheng Su had barely stepped out the door when Mother Qi began to grumble.
"Buying fireworks to set off, doesn’t that cost money? Setting off fireworks is just like burning cash! I think Taiguo is becoming more and more out of line. Where did he get such an idea!"
What’s so great about those fireworks? Once they’re lit and burst in the sky, you see a flower and then it’s gone. In her eyes, that’s not burning fire, but money, and it’s honestly impractical.
"It’s the New Year, they rarely come back, let them have their fun. What’s the harm in buying a few fireworks to set off? As long as the children are happy." Father Qi said.
"As long as they are happy, they get itchy hands the moment they have a little money. Wouldn’t it be better to save it for raising children?" Mother Qi disapproved of his defense of the couple and said irritably, "They keep saying they will have children after making money. I think that’s just an excuse, they just don’t want to have them. Look, they must be rich to burn money like that!"
"That’s my brother doting on his wife!" Qi Fengping interjected sourly.
Father Qi gave her a glare, as if she was pouring oil on the fire!
Qi Fengping stuck out her tongue and noticing someone’s silhouette, she said, "I’m heading out." With that, she ran off in a flash.
"Pingping is not wrong, but I think it’s not so much doting as spoiling, spoiling them until they don’t know hardship or appreciation!" Mother Qi huffed.
"Alright, alright, it’s the New Year, can’t we just have some peace? Spending a bit of money is worth your clucking and fussing." Father Qi was getting impatient too.
"Oh, now that you’ve had your good days, you’ve forgotten about the hard times?" Mother Qi scoffed; "Remember back in the day, we even tried eating tree bark and clay from Guanyin [Buddhist goddess] statue pits, but nowadays, people don’t know about that, they only know how to splurge..."
"Who’s splurging now? Taiguo’s mother."
