According to Liu's father and mother, if you have money to buy supplements that you don't even know are useful or not, it's better to just buy a few pounds of pork!
That's the real deal!
But it seems that pork isn't affordable this year.
He saw it on the news. The price of pork had tripled this year. At its peak, it was more than 30 yuan per pound. Compared to the previous 10 yuan per pound, that's a 300% increase~!
It makes it so regular people can't afford it!
The government said that small farms pollute the environment and had them all shut down!
The small farmers below were all closed.
The supply of pork was drastically reduced, which caused the price to soar.
Just like a few years ago, Liu Ma told him that firewood stoves were no longer allowed in rural areas.
Because the government also said that farmers burning firewood polluted the air, increasing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions. So, no more firewood—electricity must be used!
As if electricity is generated without burning coal!
Jason Liu didn't get it. Farmers had been burning firewood for thousands—maybe tens of thousands—of years, and now it suddenly pollutes the environment?
If pork is expensive? Eat chicken!
He's rich now. These things weren't problems anymore. Anyway, they wouldn't affect his family.
After shopping, Jason Liu and Lin Xiaohan had lunch at a hot pot restauran. After lunch, she returned to the company to work.
Well, today she had taken time off to accompany Jason Liu to the mall to pick out gifts for his uncles and aunts.
Of course, there's no problem when your boyfriend is the boss!
However, Lin Xiaohan still returned to the company that afternoon. Even though Jason Liu had specifically approved her to rest today, Lin wasn't willing.
In this regard, Jason Liu could only smile bitterly and say nothing. Well, as long as you're happy!
Watching his girlfriend drive back to the company, Jason Liu also drove back to the villa with the gifts he had bought for his parents, sister, and nephews.
As he stuffed all the gifts into his black Ferrari sports car, he suddenly remembered something, smacked his forehead, and cursed himself for having a pig's brain.
It was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, and although his girlfriend had helped him buy gifts for his parents, he hadn't even thought to buy gifts for Lin Xiaohan's parents.
Now that he thought about it, he was speechless. Ever since he and Lin confirmed their relationship, things had moved too fast. He still hadn't shifted from the mindset of being single.
He'd be the one visiting his girlfriend's house during New Year's and holidays in the future.
According to his hometown's customs, he should even bring double gifts.
Even if not two sets, he should've at least gotten one.
The key point is—they had just spent an entire day shopping together at the mall, and he hadn't thought of it at all.
He wondered if Lin was angry?
Well, maybe having a girlfriend isn't always a good thing!
When he was single before, he didn't have to worry about so many things.
He wouldn't even have remembered to get gifts for his own parents.
Quickly pulling out his phone, Jason Liu called his girlfriend, secretly hoping it wasn't too late.
"Hello? Are you home yet?"
Lin's voice came through the phone. She didn't sound angry.
"I'm already back home, I was just stuffing the gifts into the sports car. I'll be driving it back to my hometown later," Jason Liu replied casually, trying to find a way to bring up the topic of forgetting to buy gifts for Lin's father and mother.
Lin , sitting behind her desk, put down the report in her hand and gently reminded him over the phone, "Then when you drive back, go slow. I know you drive carefully, but still—don't be careless. Drive safe!"
Thinking of a certain man's overly cautious driving—even her inner female driver couldn't take it—Lin rolled her eyes. At the moment, she couldn't think of another reminder, so she simply told him to be careful.
Jason Liu, knowing full well his driving skills weren't good and his speed was slow, was clearly being looked down upon by his seasoned-driver girlfriend. He could only reply honestly, "Hey, I'll be careful."
"Alright, that's it then. If there's nothing else, I'm going to hang up," Lin said, ready to return to work.
"Uh, wait a minute."
Jason Liu coughed awkwardly before getting to the point of the call. "So, um, didn't we buy gifts for my parents at the mall earlier? Since the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, I thought we should also give some gifts to your parents. But I completely forgot when we were shopping."
"Ah?" Lin Xiaohan was stunned. Hearing him bring this up, she blurted out subconsciously, "I forgot too!"
"Really, that too—"
The word good was wisely swallowed by Jason Liu, and he pretended to be regretful. "That's not right... How about this —on your way home, buy something to take back. Even if we're sending them, it counts as a gift for your parents. We'll make it up next time!"
Lin Xiaohan couldn't help but stick out her tongue. She felt she was too careless as a daughter. She had only been thinking about picking gifts for her boyfriend's parents and forgot her own.
If Papa Lin found out, he'd definitely call her a black-hearted cotton-padded jacket.
"Then what are you buying? A bag of apples and a carton of milk?" Lin Xiaohan remembered how this silly boyfriend first came to her house carrying a bag of apples in one hand and a carton of milk in the other, and she couldn't help laughing.
Jason Liu touched his nose, embarrassed. Compared with the expensive supplements his girlfriend had bought for his parents at the mall, the gifts he brought were indeed a bit too simple!
With an idea, Jason Liu transferred "1314" to Goddess Lin on WeChat, telling her to help him buy gifts for Lin's father and mother.
Originally, Lin thought she could just buy them herself, but seeing her boyfriend's rare romantic gesture with "1314," Lin accepted it with a sweet smile on her lips.
After settling things with his girlfriend, Jason Liu let out a sigh of relief. Realizing that his girlfriend also forgot to buy gifts for her parents, he couldn't help but laugh.
It seemed the two of them had something in common.
