253: Seems to be getting more handsome
This is what Wang Jia, the head of the Wang family, thought.
His original intention was to support the Fu family's business while everyone was scolding them.
This also serves as a disguised way of providing timely assistance, although it is very weak, but at least it expresses one's attitude to the other party.
But after I discussed this privately with a few people I get along well with, I found out that many people think the same way.
Some people even acted faster than him and bought more than him.
He only bought one string, but the guy he usually fishes with bought three strings.
When Wang Jia heard him say this in such an indifferent tone, he felt so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.
Not only did we not catch up with others in terms of speed, but we also failed to catch up in terms of quantity.
He has nothing, which is just like his life of "three nothings".
Wang Jia no longer had the mood to chat with others and returned home with a frustrated look on his face.
On Saturday, the two children had a day off. One played at home, the other went out to see friends, and his wife went for a beauty treatment.
As soon as he entered, Wang Jia's attention was first attracted by the box on the table.
"What is this?" he asked his daughter who was watching TV in the living room.
The daughter glanced over here and said nonchalantly, "I don't know. Didn't you buy it? The bodyguard outside just said someone was delivering grapes. I thought you bought it, so I signed for it for you."
The residential complex where they live does not allow takeout couriers to enter, so they have to leave the packages with the property management, who then send their own people to deliver them to the owners.
Wang Jia didn't say anything. When he heard the word "grape", he already knew what was inside.
Of course, ordinary couriers cannot come in, but if it is a courier from the Fu family, then it is okay.
Wang Jia found a pair of scissors and opened the box with a lack of interest.
While unpacking the box, he didn't hold out much hope. What kind of good person would pack something worth three hundred thousand dollars in an ordinary cardboard box?
His wife bought a skewer worth tens of thousands of dollars and wrapped it in three layers of fabric.
Wang Jia thought that the three hundred thousand yuan was just a waste of money.
After all, the money cannot be taken back once it is given to the Fu family, and it is already very kind of them to give a bunch of grapes as a perfunctory gesture.
There is one thing that netizens said that is really right.
These grapes don't cheat the poor.
It's a two-way street, there's nothing much to say.
After opening it, Wang Jia threw the scissors aside, lifted the sponge paper wrapping the grapes, and the expression on his face became visibly surprised.
"Wow, these grapes..." My daughter walked over, took a look, and couldn't take her eyes off them.
"It's so beautiful, Dad. Where did you buy it?" If she hadn't smelled a strong scent of grapes, she would have thought it was a vividly carved jade sculpture.
"Is it edible, Dad? Let me try it."
Perhaps she was bewitched by these standard-looking grapes, she couldn't help but reach out and pull one off, then ran to the kitchen to wash it.
Seeing that the perfect grapes were missing one, Wang Jia felt a little uncomfortable and his obsessive-compulsive disorder kicked in.
He thought of finding a fruit bowl and picking all the grapes.
Just then, a scream suddenly came from the kitchen.
Wang Jia recognized the voice as his daughter's. He looked towards the kitchen and sounded helpless.
"What's wrong? Did the grape bite your mouth?"
As soon as she finished speaking, her daughter rushed out of the kitchen with excitement on her face and her cheeks bulging.
She was a little incoherent, "It's so delicious, Dad! The grapes you bought are amazing!"
Seeing his daughter like this, Wang Jia looked a little suspicious.
My daughter is in adolescence and in a rebellious state. She usually acts cool and aloof at home, and becomes impatient at the slightest provocation. She rarely shows such an excited and image-disregarding side.
He picked one off and walked into the kitchen, muttering in disbelief.
“Is this kid lying to me?” Is it really that delicious?
He washed the grapes in his hand and put them in his mouth. Two seconds later, he showed the same expression as his daughter.
Oh my god, this is so delicious!
It was so delicious that his obsessive-compulsive disorder disappeared.
Wang Jia didn't even look for a fruit plate, he just took the skewers and went to rinse them under the tap.
While washing them, he discovered that the cut surface of the grapes still retained moisture, indicating that they had just been picked from the tree. Their freshness was comparable to chewing beef.
The father and daughter sat in the living room, taking turns eating and enjoying the food so much that they wanted to cry.
In Wang Jia’s mind now, the Fu family is a top-notch conscientious enterprise!
Halfway through the meal, they both reluctantly put the grapes into the refrigerator.
"You can't eat it anymore. Put it aside and let your mother and brother have a taste when they come back." Wang Jia said.
The daughter nodded in agreement and took great effort to tear her eyes away from the grapes.
Just as she was about to close the refrigerator door, she suddenly reached out and said, "Wait, I'll grab two more."
Wang Jia, who was holding the refrigerator door, looked at her helplessly and dotingly, and also stretched out his hand.
"Then I'll grab two too."
Four of them were removed, and they were not visible on the grapes at all.
After closing the refrigerator door, five minutes later, my daughter, who was watching TV in the living room, walked to the refrigerator door and grabbed a few while getting some water.
Ten minutes later, Wang Jia, who had just returned from a walk in the yard, opened the refrigerator door and grabbed a few while looking for some water to drink.
Fifteen minutes later...
Every time they picked grapes, they felt that the bunch of grapes had not changed much.
But two hours later, when Wang Jia opened the refrigerator again, he saw that there were only four grapes left in the bunch of grapes, and his eyes were filled with horror.
It’s over, it’s all picked.
The daughter also came over, and the father and daughter looked at each other, and tacitly came up with the same idea in their hearts.
"Or we can just eat him up and pretend this never happened."
Hearing his daughter's suggestion, Wang Jia nodded in agreement, "Okay!"
They simply divided it up in half and destroyed the grape bunches and the cardboard box.
Because they ate too much, both the father and daughter were too full to eat dinner at night.
Mrs. Wang looked at them strangely. Her womanly intuition led her to ask directly, "Did you secretly eat anything delicious at home?"
Wang Jia shook his head guiltily, "No, no, I just had too much snacks at Old Sun's house at noon today."
This statement was correct, and Mrs. Wang shifted her gaze to her daughter's face.
"I ate too many snacks at home this afternoon, so I'm not hungry."
Both reasons sounded reasonable, so Mrs. Wang didn't think much about it and continued eating.
The next morning, Wang Jia, who had just gotten up and washed up, looked in the mirror as usual and was attracted by himself in the mirror.
He scratched his hair narcissistically and talked to himself.
Suddenly I felt that he was very handsome. If he were in the entertainment industry, he would at least be a small star.
His skin is so smooth. His wife has beauty treatments every week, but her skin is not as good as his.
Wang Jia thought proudly in his heart.
He was reluctant to leave the mirror until his wife called him outside.
Wang Jia stood in front of the bathroom door, waiting for his wife to praise his changes.
But Mrs. Wang, who was in a hurry to go to the toilet, didn't even look at him. She pushed him away impatiently because he was blocking the way.
While eating, his son said that he looked much whiter.
Just this one sentence made Wang Jia very satisfied.
At this moment, a sharp cry cut a hole in the peaceful and tranquil Wang family.
