The total is four thousand nine hundred yuan.

This money is enough for their family to live a good life.

He took out a hundred yuan, put the rest of the money away, and locked it up.

I walked to Lu He's door.

"Lu He is reading a book, may I come in?" Shen Qiaoyue looked at the door, which was open, but she still had to be careful.

Lu He turned to look at Shen Qiaoyue and said, "Sister-in-law, you can come in anytime."

Shen Qiaoyue came in and noticed that the room smelled nice.

Looking at the things on the table, he asked curiously, "Lu He, do you know about traditional Chinese medicine?"

"I know a little bit. When I was little, the old doctor in my family ran a pharmacy. I used to work at his pharmacy, often drying herbs." Lu He explained, looking at the incense burning on the table, "Sister-in-law, I made this myself. It smells nice."

This smells quite nice.

It has a pleasant fragrance that seems to warm the whole room and make it feel less cold.

"I didn't know so much." Shen Qiaoyue was genuinely a little surprised.

Lu He laughed and said, "I know a little bit. When I used to work there, I could earn 50 cents a day. Sometimes, if the doctor was in a good mood, he could give me a dollar."

Thinking of that doctor, Lu He's smile gradually disappeared. "But later, the pharmacy was smashed up, and the old doctor was often bullied. Eventually, he committed suicide."

Lu He never went there again.

Given the current environment, many things are beyond our control.

He gently patted Lu He's shoulder to comfort him.

Shen Qiaoyue took out a hundred yuan from her pocket, along with some other receipts, and handed them to Lu He, saying, "Lu He, you've just arrived here, this money is for you to keep."

"Sister-in-law, I don't want it. This money is too much. It's enough for the family to live on for half a year." Lu He didn't dare to accept the money and put it back in Shen Qiaoyue's hand.

Looking at the money, Shen Qiaoyue said to Lu He, "Here, you need to buy everything. When there's no food, you need to go to the commune or the city to buy it. If you don't have money, it's hard to get around. You need money for transportation, money for food, and money for everything."

Unlike in the village, here you can borrow it for a short while and then return it.

It's different here; you have to do everything yourself.

“Lu He, your brother said you always have to do a lot of chores at home. Here, you don’t need to do them all by yourself; we can all do them together. This money is for you so that you won’t be hesitant! I hope you can do what you want to do, go hiking, or buy things you like in the city.”

Pointing to the cabinet in the living room, he said, "There are all kinds of tickets in the cabinet. If you want to buy something, just take the ticket and buy it."

Shen Qiaoyue placed the money in Lu He's hand, stood up and said, "I chatted with my sister all night last night and didn't get a good night's sleep. I'm going to take a nap first."
