Mr. Bao and his son: Only use Stankang for hair oil

Chapter 87 Break Free from the Shackles
Gaoyang Road, Xu's high-end shoe store.

"How much do these cotton shoes cost?"

"Three dollars and five."

"purchase!"

……

Wutiao Street, Yangzi Tailor Shop.

"Is this suit from Paramount? How much does it cost?"

"Twenty dollars."

"purchase!"

……

"purchase!"

"purchase!"

"purchase!"

……

Throughout the morning, Bao Guowei and Lao Bao appeared in various clothing stores in the west of the city, making purchases.

In addition to warm cotton-padded clothes, long johns, and cotton-padded shoes, it goes without saying that the luxurious brocade, satin, and hard-soled leather shoes are also needed.

By the way, Bao Guowei also bought himself a silver-gray suit from the British Paramount brand, a beige jacket, and some new pairs of shoes and socks.

These high-end clothes alone cost nearly 120 yuan.

Bao Guowei was willing to give it up - the family had been suffering for so many years, and they really didn't have to live in poverty anymore. Even if the social value of high-end clothes was not considered, it would be good to satisfy Lao Bao's vanity.

Moreover, Bao Guowei is confident that he will only earn more money in the future.

But Lao Bao felt terribly distressed. With his previous salary of more than 100 yuan, excluding the expenses of firewood, rice, oil and salt, he didn't know that he would have to save it for many years!
Lao Bao put on the same brown brocade clothes, brown long johns, and hard-soled black leather shoes with fur as Mr. Qin's. He stood in front of the newly purchased large mirror at home and spoke tremblingly:

"Am I really a master?"

Then a stack of brand new banknotes was handed to Lao Bao, all of which were two or five yuan bills.

"If there is anything missing at home, buy more. Ask a few people to move the things from the old house. Also, don't forget to pay back the 15 yuan you borrowed from the Zhang family."

……

As the saying goes, a person relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. After putting on new clothes, a person's entire appearance and temperament will naturally change.

And because he knew that his family had a lot of extra money, he naturally felt more confident. This was directly reflected on Lao Bao's face, and the servants of the Qin Mansion could directly see it:

Bao Guanjia is really different this time.

At around one o'clock in the afternoon, the servants of the Qin Mansion gathered at the steps outside the street and were enjoying a belated lunch when they saw the well-dressed Bao father and son passing by.

Seeing the clothes of the two men, they couldn't help but cause a discussion among the servants:
"See! See! What Lao Bao is wearing today! Just like Mr. Qin!"

"Keep your voice down! You're still calling me Lao Bao! If you want to call me housekeeper Bao, can you call me Lao Bao?"

Hearing what the servant on the side said, Hu laughed while sitting in the middle and said in an unhurried tone:
"Haha, I'm afraid I won't call you Guanjia anymore in the future."

"Don't call me Bao Guanjia anymore? What do you mean?"

Hu Da shook his head and did not answer the question, but the smile on his face grew stronger.

"By the way, why is Butler Bao so happy today?"

"Silly! You don't know what happened to the Bao family... Yes! It should be called Linzi! Mr. Qin and Section Chief Gao are both worried about him. How can Lao Bao be unhappy?"

"Not only did Lao Bao change into new clothes, but Guan Bao's son also put on a new dress today! The color is like silver, and it's even prettier and more luxurious than the previous one! Did you see it?"

"I think I have to find a way to ask my daughter to seduce Bao Guowei! The old Bao family is really awesome this time! You can even wear different dresses!"

"Don't think about it. Let me tell you a little tidbit. I accidentally overheard Mr. Qin talking to the eldest lady yesterday. Guess what..."

……

In the main residence of the Qin family, the festive atmosphere of the past few days is still there. The eaves and walls are still decorated with lights and the lanterns have not yet been removed.

Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin were sitting on both sides of the round table in the main living room. There were several cups of tea brewed in white ceramic cups on the table, and there were also several books and newspapers lying on the table.

Lao Bao and Bao Guowei stood together on the aisle below.

Seeing that Lao Bao had changed into brand-new brown satin clothes, Mr. Qin already had a premonition of what the old housekeeper was going to do today.Lao Bao stood upright in front of Mr. Qin, and standing beside him was Bao Guowei.

This moment is exactly like that moment, but there is a slight difference:

Ten years ago, Lao Bao begged Mr. Qin to keep Bao Guowei in his house and gave Bao Guowei an opportunity to go to school.

Ten years later, Bao Guowei took Lao Bao to resign and helped Lao Bao break away from the shackles that had restrained him for decades.

"Master Qin, three generations of my Bao family have served the Qin family for 74 years. But now, my Bao family has a good son and grandson, Bao Guowei."

Hearing Lao Bao say these words, Mr. Qin knew that this day had finally come.

Although he had already been prepared in his heart, he still couldn't believe it when this servant who had been in the Qin Mansion for more than 50 years actually asked him to resign.

He couldn't help but glance sideways at Mrs. Qin. The couple's eyes met at this moment, and both of them could see some surprise in each other's eyes.

Lao Bao's heart was beating a little hard at this moment. He took out the lifelong knowledge he had learned in the Qin Mansion and tried to make what he said sound more powerful:
"I, Bao Zheng, was born in the second year of Guangxu's reign. I have been working hard in the Qin Mansion since I was a child, and I have been working hard for more than fifty years."

"The Qin family and Mr. Qin have treated me well over the years. Bao Zhengzi should bear this kindness in mind."

"But, my son, Bao Guowei, was born in the first year of the Republic of China. He will be sixteen this year and is now attending a provincial middle school."

According to the calculation method of age in the Republic of China, Bao Guowei is indeed 16 years old. If calculated according to the fictitious age, he can even add one more year old.

"There are few sons of servants in new schools. I can't teach Guowei how to do well in school."

Concerned about Master Qin's face and not wanting to offend him, Lao Bao still did not tell his true feelings, but found a very legitimate reason for his resignation.

"So, today...I want to resign."

After saying these words that he had been dreaming of saying for decades, Lao Bao breathed a sigh of relief.

Starting today, Lao Bao has completely broken free from the shackles of being a "servant", and Bao Guowei is no longer the son of a servant.

"Good! Good! Good!"

After hearing this, Mr. Qin suddenly stood up from the mahogany chair. He didn't even look at Bao Guowei this time, and he seemed to be very excited.

A kind smile appeared on his big square face, which was wrinkled by fat.

"Bao Zheng, I've known how powerful I am since I was a child, but I didn't expect your son to be even more powerful. Okay! Okay! Okay! I'm sure!"

Mr. Qin was not completely emotionless towards Lao Bao, otherwise he would not have given him a salary that was more than double that of the others.

When he was a child, Mr. Qin admired Bao Zheng as the king of children.

When he was young, Mr. Qin despised and even despised Bao Zheng, a servant.

When he reached middle age, Mr. Qin began to feel sad for the somewhat lonely Bao Zheng.

Now, Bao Zheng, who is about to enter his old age, has finally asked himself to resign. Master Qin actually feels that he is in a very good mood - as if the child king of his childhood is back.

Ten years period!ten years!Bao Guowei's promise that had been separated for ten years was finally realized at this moment.

Seeing the father and son leaving, Mr. Qin narrowed his eyes habitually.

Mr. Qin may be very protective of his children and won't even let his wife say a word about their shortcomings, but when it comes to the development and growth of the family, he will not consider any of his children's needs.

Now that the direct relationship between the Bao family and the Qin family has been severed from now on, Mr. Qin can't help but have a wrong idea in his mind.

……

"squeak!"

Master Qin found his daughter Qin Qin in the west wing.

She was putting on makeup at the dressing table, and Mr. Qin was standing behind her looking at her in the mirror.

I have to say that she is indeed pretty, with slightly narrow phoenix eyes, a straight and beautiful nose, and red lips painted with lipstick.

After putting on makeup, Qin Qin looked a bit stunning.

Apart from being fond of swearing, there are really no other shortcomings.

"Dad? What are you doing here?"

Seeing Master Qin constantly looking at him, Qin Qin kept moving his hands, but felt a little confused in his heart.

"Qin'er, what do you think of Bao Guowei?"

Hearing Master Qin's tone, Qin Qin's movements froze.
