They only had a limited range of activities and had to restrain personal desires due to poverty. The three of them seldom went to restaurants outside, except for parties with others.
At this moment, Christy Zhong deeply realized that poverty was horrible, which had begun to affect Justin Zhong's thinking. Because of poverty, he couldn't enjoy much of the world.
"Don't worry. It's just a meal." Christy said with some distress.
Justin pouted and said with dissatisfaction, "Isn't it the same to eat at home? We should save money. Grandma is still in the hospital and needs money. Why are you so ignorant?"
He Wen couldn't help saying after listening to it. "See? Justin is a genius and warmhearted boy. Christy, did you save the world in your previous life? How can you have such a smart son?"
Indeed, Justin's cleverness was beyond the imagination of ordinary people in thinking and intelligence. He was much clever than ordinary kids.
Christy rolled her eyes towards Wen and Justin and said, a little crossly, "Are you two not going? I saw that Justin had been bored in kindergarten for a week, and you have found a new job. We should celebrate these. Otherwise, how boring is this life?"
Indeed, it was necessary to have fun after working hard. Otherwise, there would be no motivation and courage to continue living.
Wen thought about it and said to Justin, "Babe, let's go and play? Go to that amusement park?"
After all, the children couldn't stand the temptation, especially after hearing the word amusement park. The toys there were attractive to him. He nodded and said thoughtfully, "After going, I'll play at most three things so that I won't spend too much money, Okay?"
Wen immediately nodded. "Good boy, but don't worry. Now we are working to make money, and we can afford you."
Christy naturally heard their conversation in the car. She was glad to have such a best friend and a good son, but she also felt guilty. Christy thought she must treat them well and work hard in the future. When she thought about it, she felt she had the energy.
She adjusted her mood and said to them happily, "Okay, move, get into the car!"
Wen took Justin and opened the door, and let him get into the car first. She put the things brought from the supermarket in the trunk before getting into the car.
The three people talked and laughed. Instead of going to the playground, they went to a large shopping mall. They planned to eat first, and then let Justin play in a children's playground, while Christy and Wen could chat nearby.
When they came to the mall, they passed by the children's area before going to dinner. Justin was delighted--he indeed couldn't stand those temptations.
