Like many older generation people, the Old Secretary always holds the belief of "suffer yourself first," and for themselves, they are always reluctant to spend even a penny.
They always say, "I'm not like you youngsters, I don't need to eat such good food."
They seem to have forgotten that when they were kids, they didn't get to eat anything good either.
"Old Secretary, there's only one pot at home, let's not bother making two meals. Besides, if you come with us but don't eat properly, how will we have the face to say we're here to help the villagers in the future?"
"It's not..."
"Yes, Old Secretary, yesterday we ate quite a lot at your house, now you're here with us but won't eat a thing, is it to imply that if we run out of food, we shouldn't go to your house?"
"It's really not..."
Lin Nianhe and Wang Shumei kept pressing until the Old Secretary's refusal was swallowed back down, making him pick up the chopsticks.
