Chapter 115 Han Chen’s Confession (3)

Fortunately, the door of the educated youth institute was left open for Han Chen. The other educated youth were all asleep, and no one paid attention to Xuemei and Han Chen.

Han Chen unlocked the door, asked Feifei to sit in the main room and wait for a while, then took Xuemei into the room and left the door open.

"What's wrong? Do you have something to give me?" Xuemei asked curiously.

Han Chen pulled a key from the desk, opened a wooden chest, and pulled out a small wooden box. He handed it to Xuemei, saying, "Xuemei, this is my savings. Inside is a passbook containing my father's 1,000 yuan pension, 270 yuan in cash, two kilograms of grain coupons, and half a kilogram of sugar coupons. Oh, and I need a little over ten yuan on me. I used some of it to exchange things today!"

After Han Chen finished speaking, he took out the remaining money from his pocket and handed it to Xuemei.

Xuemei didn't take it, but asked, "This is your own money and ticket, take it yourself!"

Han Chen pretended to be disappointed and said, "Xuemei, every household in this village has the woman managing the finances. When my father was still alive, he also gave all his money and bills to my mother to manage! Now that you're my partner, of course my money and bills should be handed over to you! Besides, I'm a spendthrift and tend to spend money recklessly."

Xuemei then took the small wooden box and the money, and deliberately said, "You trust me so much that you can leave others with nothing!"

"Xuemei, I chose you because I want to spend my whole life with you! Money is something outside of our body. We can earn it back if we lose it. I just hope we can be together forever!" Han Chen looked at Xuemei and said gently.

Xuemei felt like she was about to melt under Han Chen's gaze. She lowered her head, touched her warm face, and said, "You should also keep some money on you, in case of emergency."

Han Chen looked at Xuemei's ostrich-like appearance and smiled. Then he said, "Then I'll take the ten-plus yuan!"

Xuemei finally left two kilograms of grain coupons and half a kilogram of sugar coupons to Han Chen.
