PFC Chapter 221 Greed
Chapter 221 Greed
Time flew by, and before we knew it, it was past five in the afternoon.
After school, the children returned home one after another, and the whole yard instantly became noisy.
The two sisters, Zhao Nana and Zhao Yina, were happily chasing, playing, and frolicking in the yard.
Because the two girls were only a year apart in age, they often fought fiercely over a favorite toy, with cries echoing throughout the room. However, they would soon be inseparable again and make up as if nothing had happened.
At this moment, Xu Shuhui, the godmother, was busy and happy. She gently comforted the two little ones while looking at the scene full of childlike innocence and fun with a smile on her face. She was enjoying the warm and harmonious atmosphere.
Just as the sun was setting, Zhao Zhaodi slowly rode her slightly worn bicycle back home.
After the family enjoyed a sumptuous dinner together, Zhao Yuan sent Zhao Lai Di away and then personally led Zhao Zhao Di out of the house for a stroll through the streets and alleys.
The father and daughter walked side by side along the way, exchanging a few words in hushed tones from time to time.
As they walked, Zhao Yuan suddenly asked:
"Zhaodi, Dad saw a boy walking home with you today. Is he your classmate?"
Upon hearing her father's question, Zhao Zhaodi hesitated for a moment, then nodded and replied:
"Um...yes, he's my classmate."
"Where does he live? What's his name? Let's invite your classmate over for a meal sometime," Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
"Oh, Dad! We're really just ordinary friends, please don't get the wrong idea. Why do you sound like you're interrogating me?"
Zhao Zhaodi responded somewhat helplessly.
"Haha, honey, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to invite your classmates over for a get-together and a meal, that's all."
Zhao Yuan quickly explained.
Hearing her father say that, Zhao Zhaodi breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Okay then, if that's the case, can I invite a few of my closest friends over for dinner?"
Zhao Yuan nodded without hesitation:
"Of course! Any classmate you get along with and get along with is fine."
At this moment, Zhao Yuan said earnestly to Zhao Zhaodi:
"Zhaodi, after the college entrance exam, you'll have one foot in the door of society. Now that you're all grown up, you need to be careful about making friends."
You must make more friends who are of good character and share the same aspirations.
It's important to know that when making friends, character is the most crucial and important factor.
Moreover, the person who will hurt you later is often the one closest to you.
It's not for any other reason; often it's simply out of jealousy.
Aside from my mom and me, finding someone who genuinely and unconditionally wants you to be happier than they are is incredibly difficult!
Therefore, when you are with friends, try to talk less about your own strengths and advantages.
This is like a dazzling pearl; if it is always exposed, it will inevitably attract some unnecessary trouble or even covetousness.
Similarly, apart from your parents, finding someone who can fully accept and tolerate all your shortcomings is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.
Therefore, there's no need to reveal everything to friends without reservation. After all, you can't see into someone's heart, and not everyone can love and cherish you unconditionally like we do.
Remember, no matter when or where, if you encounter any difficult problems or difficulties, be sure to think of your parents first.
Because only we are the ones who will not ask for anything in return, who have no selfish motives, and who only want your happiness.
At this moment, Zhao Yuan and Zhao Zhaodi walked slowly side by side. Zhao Yuan said earnestly:
"My child, you are now 18 years old, officially entering adulthood, and soon you will be stepping into the university campus to start a new chapter in your life."
It's perfectly acceptable to have a relationship at this stage, and your mother and I don't object to it.
However, there is an important prerequisite: the boy you are dating must have good moral character.
When a girl chooses to get married, it's not just about marrying the person; it's more like integrating into his entire family.
It's important to understand that the influence of a person's upbringing and family of origin is deeply ingrained and difficult to shake off throughout their life.
Therefore, Dad sincerely hopes that when you're in a relationship, you won't let love cloud your judgment and become what's called "love-struck." Always stay clear-headed and rational, and learn to protect yourself. If you don't cherish yourself, others won't cherish you either.
Zhao Yuan paused for a moment, then continued:
"Zhaodi, let Dad nag a bit more today."
Listen up, girl! When you're dating, remember this: never go for a guy who's practically a charity partner! What does that mean? Simply put, it means you absolutely cannot date a guy whose family is significantly worse off than yours.
Why do I say this? Think about it: if two people come from vastly different family backgrounds, their consumption habits and perceptions of things will be very different.
If they actually end up together, it won't just be a simple matter of disagreeing on how to spend money.
If the woman's family is much better off than the man's, then in this relationship, the woman's words may not carry much weight at home.
Why is that? Sometimes, just because you casually said something unintentional, he might think, "So what if you have a little money? You look down on people." Then he feels that you have trampled on his self-esteem.
Moreover, those who lack self-confidence, live in poverty, or lack ability often have stronger self-esteem.
Many times, you don't even understand what happened, and you inexplicably hurt their fragile self-esteem.
Furthermore, if the other party's family has been in a relatively poor state for a long time, their parents may be unable to resist imposing their extremely frugal and almost stingy consumption concepts on the woman.
Even if the money spent by the woman comes entirely from her own savings.
