@ Daryo I get it now. Thank you! Before Clauwolf answered it I was kind of confused. That's why I thought a higher reward would be for the person's mom. It's clear now. Thanks a million!
Daryo Feb 22, 2022:
Another thing it's not

Sixer vs One

which would imply that "a Sixer" is somehow different from "a One"; in fact in this text it's

a Sixer (for myself) AND [another] One (= and another sixer for my mom)
Mohamed Fouda (asker) Feb 21, 2022:
This is a conversation between two neighbors. The one who's out of beer is kind of a weird guy.
