Chapter 99 Counting Money

In order to express his sincere gratitude to Chen Qing, Mao Jianguo filled two aluminum lunch boxes with meat.

There are stir-fried beef and egg dumplings.

He Yuxiang felt distressed: "If I had known that Father Mao would send you food, I wouldn't have bought food."

Today he went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy sweet potato vines, loofahs, and edamame, spending a total of 60 cents, which was very expensive!

"He gave me meat and you bought vegetables, so there is no conflict. Beef is nutritious, so you two should eat more beef." Chen Qing put some more beef for Xiaoyu, so that the little guy would not feel unwell after school because of his low resistance.

Xiaoyu is a good baby who is not picky about food. He eats whatever is available quietly and seriously. He is a very worry-free child.

He Yuxiang silently calculated in his mind that the sweet potato vines could not be kept, but the loofah and edamame could be kept. It would be enough to eat a little bit of green vegetables every day, and divide the three days' supply into nine days.

It doesn’t cost a dime a day!

After making the calculation, He Yuxiang felt balanced and his meal started to enjoy more.

After Chen Qing finished his meal, he took a short nap and then went to work.

Xiaoyu watched her aunt leave and stood at the door eagerly: "I want to go to work, too."

He Yuxiang: "You don't want to."

His sister was so lazy in studying that in order to avoid being sent to the countryside as an educated youth, he must buy her a job. Each job paid between five hundred and one thousand yuan, so he would have to save up for a long time.

After tidying up the house, He Yuxiang found a hoe and tidied the land.

I don’t know if he didn’t grow the vegetables well or what, but the vegetables are growing very slowly. If I had known this the last time Hong Dazhui came to our house, I would have asked him to take a closer look at the vegetables in the field, otherwise such a good private plot of land would have been wasted.

Xiaoyu brought a can of pickled garlic and a shovel and came over to catch earthworms for the chickens.

There were not many earthworms in her private plot, so she had to look for them carefully. Every time she fed the chickens more earthworms, the eggs they laid would be bigger, and they would lay one egg a day.

He Yuxiang went to get a straw hat to cover his sister: "Your face will be hurt by the sun later."

The earthworm was very long. Xiaoyu quickly picked it up, stuffed it into the jar, and then lay down to look for the second one.

He Yuxiang saw that his sister was addicted to this and knew that she didn't want to go to class, so he ignored her and went to make height-increasing insoles.

The height-increasing insoles were completely dependent on the leftover scraps from his aunt. He Yuxiang took the needle and thread and sewed them slowly. After he had finished sewing two pairs, he washed his hands and went to cook.

"He Yuting!"

"Yes."

"Where?"

"I'm waiting for my aunt at the door."

"knew."

He Yuxiang walked towards the kitchen.

Chen Qing came back a little late today because he went to the supply and marketing cooperative. Normally, as long as he had money and a ticket, he could buy malted milk. However, on payday, many people wanted to buy malted milk.

She originally wanted to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy malted milk as a surprise for the two little ones, but she ended up empty-handed.

Chen Qing had no choice but to go home.

Seeing the little guy waiting for him, Chen Qing hugged Xiaoyu and said sullenly, "The malted milk will have to wait."

"It doesn't matter. We have meat to eat."

Xiaoyu didn’t have much desire for malted milk, she felt that it was good enough as it was now.

Chen Qing touched the little girl's hair and carried her into the house.

Today, the alley was filled with the aroma of meat, which made Chen Qing hungry. At the dinner table, Xiaoyu excitedly shared with her aunt: "Aunt, when I was waiting for you at the door, I heard someone talking about Director Lin."

"What's wrong with her?"

"She beat her son up and wanted to tie him up and take him to the Youth League Office. Her son didn't want to do it, so he threw a tantrum and kissed his two sisters." Xiaoyu chewed the beef and said angrily, "He is so bad!"

"Kissed two!" Chen Qing was shocked.

Xiaoyu nodded heavily: "Yes, I heard it clearly, there are two!"

"Then he's done."

"Yes, yes."

"Did you hear anything else?" Chen Qing felt that the source of his gossip in the machinery factory was Tian Mengya, and the source of his gossip at home was Xiaoyu.

"Yes, an old lady goes to the newspaper office every day to call an old man. The phone bills are too high, and she has a quarrel with her son and daughter-in-law." Xiaoyu chuckled.

It was her fault for beating her brother before. Now Xiaoyu doesn't like her anymore.

Chen Qing also laughed.

He Yuxiang was forced to know a bunch of gossip and was speechless.

He stuffed the food into his mouth silently and waited for them to finish. He even yawned with his chin propped up, but they were still dawdling. It was so annoying!!!

He Yuxiang went to do other work in a bad temper. He was really annoyed by listening to gossip with nothing to do.

Chen Qing was also shocked by He Yuxiang's diligence: "Your brother is really amazing."

As she gradually integrated into this world, her true nature was exposed. She assigned very few tasks to He Yuxiang, and basically He Yuxiang had to find work on his own. But he just happened to be able to find work!

Like now, he is cracking peanuts.

Xiaoyu said, "I will do it later. Our family has used too much oil recently. I can only get a bag of peanuts to the agricultural and sideline store to make peanut oil for the waiter."

"All right."

Both siblings are hardworking.

Xiaoyu cleaned up the dishes.

Chen Qing also returned to her room. She was stunned. Does this mean that the whole family is very hardworking?

no!

She's going to be in a mess for a while until she pays off her debts.

She calculated the money after receiving her salary, and it totaled 95.5, but she needed to pay He Yuan 20, buy malted milk and stationery for the two children, which would cost an estimated 7 yuan, and the daily necessities for the family would cost at least 15 yuan a month.

After doing the math, she now has 53.5 left, so there's not much difference between getting the salary and not getting it.

Chen Qing covered his face and muttered to himself while lying on the bed: "When will I be able to get rich?"

Why was it that in the period novels she read before, the heroine had a system and a golden finger, but she had nothing. She had to go to work tomorrow and have a side job after get off work to make a living.

“It’s not fair!”

“This is so unfair!”

"I want to get rich! When will money fall from the sky for me?"

…

He Yuxiang, who was cracking peanuts, asked calmly, "Why is your aunt going crazy again?"

Xiaoyu said angrily: "Don't scold my aunt, I'm just too tired from work."

He Yuxiang bent his fingers slightly and tapped her head: "You really only remember to eat and not to be beaten."

"No, you're blind." Xiaoyu squatted down and sat back on the small stool, holding a long and flat wooden stick to clamp the peanuts. The peanuts opened quickly and the peanuts fell easily.

He Yuxiang: "There's no rush for the peanut oil. Go check on the water that the dwarf tiger has pumped first."

Ever since Shorty sold out his father for everything last time, he has been looking for opportunities to make money.

He is a sturdy and strong man, so fetching water is not a difficult task for him.

"He Yuxiang, Xiaoyu, will you also be in the first grade by then?"

"Yeah." He Yuxiang nodded indifferently.

Xiaoyu asked: "Do you want to go too?"

"Yes, my parents have signed me up, but I won't be able to play every day when I go to school."

The short-legged tiger sighed.

Very sad.

Xiaoyu also sighed heavily.

Quite recognized.

He Yuxiang: “…”

These two lazy bastards.
