Chapter 373 I don’t like eating steamed buns.
"This place is quite close to my branch store, I will take you to have roasted sweet potatoes! They’re really tasty, my dad cooks them." Tong Yao hadn’t seen her parents in a few days and she missed them.
"Sounds great!" Wang Chun hadn’t met Tong Yao’s parents yet and she thought it would be better to bring gifts when visiting elders, "Should we buy some tea or health products for them? I didn’t prepare anything as I didn’t know we would meet them."
"Oh, you don’t need to buy anything! My parents don’t care for that. The street up ahead is where our store is located. Let’s just head straight there."
As Tong Yao dragged Wang Chun towards the store, Wang Chun couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed. She thought it was impolite to meet elders for the first time without a gift. Seeing Tong Yao refusing to let her buy one, she reluctantly compromised, saying softly, "Next time I will definitely buy presents, you can’t stop me then."
Tong Yao grinned and said, "Next time I’ll bring you to my place for a meal, my mum is a great cook."
"Sure!" Wang Chun agreed by nodding her head. With a personality as kind as Tong Yao’s, her parents must be enlightened and good-hearted people.
As they were just about to reach the store, a raggedly dressed man with a begging bowl in hand blocked Wang Chun’s path, "Please help, spare me some money! I haven’t eaten for two days."
Tong Yao saw that the man was physically fit and of working age. At first glance, he didn’t seem to be really poor and starving, so she said, "I’ll bring you two steamed buns later."
The man instinctively responded, "I don’t like steamed buns."
Seeing that Tong Yao is not easily fooled, he turned to Wang Chun and stretched out his hand, "Please, I’d appreciate any amount."
