Chapter 444: Fifty Yuan for a Meal, Very Expensive

After explaining everything, Cheng Qiao carried Li Cheng out. Han Tong didn't want to get involved in this matter. It's just a child. Can she eat as much as she does?

"Oh my two girls, you are finally here. I have been looking forward to seeing you every day."

When Boss Deng saw Cheng Qiao and the other guy, his eyes lit up. One meal from these two was equivalent to three or five meals for other people, and their demands were not high. They were very easy to serve.

"Hey, why did you bring a kid here today?"

"This is my eldest brother's child, Chengcheng, call me uncle."

"Hello, uncle."

Li Cheng was very willing to listen to Cheng Qiao's words. This aunt's family had many children, and they had plenty of food, drink and clothes. More importantly, their family was harmonious, unlike their own family, who were scolded by their grandmother every day.

"What do you want to eat? Just order the food and I'll cook it for you."

"Can I...?"

Li Cheng was flattered, as his family had not gone out to eat for a long time, let alone asked him to order food. When he heard that it was okay, he immediately asked for a soda.

"Give me three bottles of soda, by the way, you seem to have added a freezer, give the child an ice cream, creamy."

Li Huan used to love eating ice cream the most, but now he’s addicted and even things at room temperature feel cold, let alone ice cream. So Cheng Qiao hasn’t eaten anything cold for a long time.

"Give me four pieces, one for each of you and two for me."

Han Tong took out fifty yuan from his pocket, which was enough for them to have enough food and drink.

Boss Deng took the money happily. It was fifty yuan. A family of more than a dozen people only had to spend a dozen or twenty yuan, which was already painful. But this girl actually spent fifty yuan at once. It was extremely expensive.

"Girl, your money..."

As long as it is not stolen or robbed, he dares to accept it, otherwise, he will feel guilty.

"Don't worry, boss. Her family is rich and doesn't care about the fifty or one hundred dollars."

My monthly salary is 500 yuan. Now I have come to Hexi to protect myself, which can be considered as a business trip. The allowance I have received is sufficient for the business trip. I can't finish it all.

Upon learning that the man's parents were rich, Boss Deng was envious and happy. Why couldn't he meet such parents? Otherwise, he wouldn't have to get up early and work late to run this small restaurant.

"Hantong, Lele will graduate next month, and there is no good place for her to work here. I want to open a small shop, which can also be regarded as a way to make a living."

"Do you want her to open it herself or do you want her to open it and get paid?"

"Let her drive by herself. Anyway, my uncle has already started the transportation. We have our wholesale market in Xiangyang County, and Lele is familiar with it."

"That's great. If I want to drink some soda or eat some cakes, I don't have to run to the supply and marketing cooperative on the street. It's too troublesome."

Cheng Qiao did not hide anything from Han Tong, nor did she need to hide anything. The leaders of the special departments basically knew about her situation, so she could not hide it.

"By the way, didn't you say last time that the little troublemaker was going to get married? Is he going to get married yet?"

"Of course, don't you see that this guy goes home every weekend to decorate his new house?"

"Then I have to contribute my share, otherwise if I eat too much, he'll be ruined."

Li Cheng was eating ice cream while listening to his two aunts talking, but he had some ideas in his mind. His aunt was coming and was going to open a small shop, so he would have a new place to play in the future.

The little troublemaker uncle is getting married, so he should have candy to eat. He is happy just thinking about it. He goes home and tells his mom. His aunt and others want to contribute money, but he doesn’t know what contributing money means, so he asks his mom if she wants to contribute.

Boss Deng served Cheng Qiao and the others throughout the day. The three of them sat at a large round table. There were so many dishes that the small table could not accommodate them all.

This was the scene that Jiang Meili saw when she arrived. More than half of the dishes on the table had been eaten, and her son's face was covered with rice grains and soy sauce, and his hands were sticky.

"Cheng Qiao, you guys..."

"Come on, sit down and eat. Boss Deng, serve a bowl of rice. We have someone here."

"Hey, I'll be right there."

Jiang Meili saw a large plate full of rice and her eyes widened. This plate of rice must be for the three of them.

"Boss, bring me a small bowl."

Cheng Qiao couldn't help but laugh out loud. The boss was so cute that he actually treated them as big eaters. Jiang Meili finally breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how rare white rice was, she couldn't eat it like that.

She was really starving to death as she took a small bowl to serve herself. Cheng Qiao saw her face full of sweat and couldn't help but ask:

“I quit.”

"I resigned. My boss knew about my family's situation and approved a note to give me an extra month's salary. It helped me out of the immediate crisis. At least my brother's medical expenses are covered."

"If you don't have enough money, I have some here. We are sisters-in-law, there's no need to be so formal."

"No, I can't bother you anymore. My mother has some brain problems now. Let's talk about it after she gets better. I'm hungry. I'll eat a few bites of food first."

Jiang Meili started to eat voraciously. From last night till now, she had not drunk a sip of water or eaten a bite of rice. Even Li Cheng only bought a big pancake outside. What kind of life was she living?

And her job was in the military area, so she could only quit and could not sell it. Otherwise, she could have more money to support herself. But now money is needed everywhere, and she is really short of money.

After finishing her meal, Jiang Meili took Li Cheng away immediately. She couldn't bother Cheng Qiao anymore, otherwise her mother would go crazy again if she found out.

Looking at the hurried Jiang Meili and the reluctant Li Cheng, Cheng Qiao had no appetite to continue eating. They both hurriedly finished all the food, wiped their mouths and left.

Early the next morning, Cheng Qiao had packed all the luggage and was ready to go to Qilian Mountains with Li Huan and Han Tong. She always felt that this trip to Qilian Mountains would have unexpected benefits.

Moreover, her Saker Falcon has not come back yet. I don’t know what it is doing in Qilian Mountain. We have to go and see it. The little troublemaker stood beside the van, happily waiting for them:

"Hello, second brother, second sister-in-law, and sister Hantong, let's get ready to set off."

"Little troublemaker, when are you leaving?"

"In another week, when everything over at Guoqing is done, we will go to Xiangyang Village."

Qin Guoqing went to wholesale vegetables, fruits and meat, and picked up Li Le by the way, while Xiao Trouble went to pick up the bride. Both of them were counting the days with their fingers.

"That's great, we'll probably have three days at most, so it won't delay your return to get married."

The little troublemaker blushed. His second sister-in-law spoke too directly, making him embarrassed to respond.

"Oh, sister-in-law, I heard from Guoqing that Lele will be a teacher when she comes. We don't have a school here, so where can she be a teacher?"

Cheng Qiao: “…”

She forgot that Lele graduated from a normal university. She just didn't know where the school would assign Lele. If Lele didn't want to be assigned or there were no vacancies in Hexi, she could only give up.
