Chapter 213 Ye Xiaomei Suspects Life
Ye Xiaomei's neck moved mechanically as she slowly turned to look at her mother. She was patting the child's back until Erxuan hiccuped and then her mother slowly put him down:
"At that time, I was so scared that I wet my pants. Mom immediately held you in her arms and ran home. You fainted for three days. Do you remember what the first words you said when you woke up?"
Ye Xiaomei had no memory at all and could only shake her head dumbly.
"You told me who you were and where I was. I was so scared at the time that I thought you had a brain problem. I hurriedly called your father back so that I could afford to take you to the county hospital for a checkup. I spent five dollars on the checkup and the doctor said you were fine."
“……” Ye Xiaomei had no idea what this memory was.
But Ye Xiaomei seemed to have memories of the White Snake, but they were fragmentary memories, just like a dream, but the White Snake was quite big.
"Aren't you going to class this afternoon?" After Zhao Mei settled her two grandchildren, she kindly reminded her daughter when she saw that she was in a state of panic.
Ye Xiaomei was brought back to reality. She hurriedly looked back and saw that it was already half past one. She had no time to think and hurried to school. She just broke the steamed bun and put some fried beans in it for the meal.
When Ye Xiaomei arrived at the school gate, she had already eaten half of her steamed bun and saw someone familiar.
"Ye Xiaomei, it seems that you have recovered well. Do well in this midterm exam."
The students on the playground were all hurrying towards the teaching building. Ye Xiaomei knew that time was running out, so she still looked at Qin Rong a few more times.
Today she was still wearing a fishtail skirt and wedge-heeled leather shoes, but her suit was purple, which made her look high-end and elegant.
"Professor Qin... why are you here?"
Ye Xiaomei stared at Qin Rong's face when she said this. She just didn't understand why Qin Rong came so frequently.
She had also heard that some outstanding students were offered admission by colleges and universities, but after all, they still had several years of academic study to go, and many students’ grades dropped in the last few years, so their qualifications could be revoked at any time. Therefore, no college teacher was so diligent in running around.
Qin Rong suddenly approached, picked up the bag in his hand, and said with a smile:
"I have already arranged for you to take the skip-level exam for next year's semester, and the papers for this midterm exam will be graded directly by our school, so don't worry and do your best."
Ye Xiaomei looked at her smiling face and didn't know how to start talking for a moment.
This is so unreal, like a dream. Besides, how can such a ridiculous operation be possible? It's just a small midterm exam.
"Okay, thank you Professor Qin for your concern. I'll go to class first and we'll talk again another day."
Ye Xiaomei passed by her and the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She turned around subconsciously and saw that the usual smile on Qin Rong's face had disappeared, replaced by a sad look.
Seeing Ye Xiaomei turning around to look at her, Qin Rong smiled again and waved at her.
When I arrived at the classroom, Wang Liang was already speaking at the podium during the morning reading time, and he was talking about Ye Xiaomei:
"You all should study hard like Ye Xiaomei. A junior high school student has been spotted by the medical research institute. Even if she doesn't work hard, she has a bright future. All of you should not neglect her..."
The classmates in the class have long known that Ye Xiaomei is valued, just because she doesn't have to work hard, so they are still a little jealous in their hearts.
As soon as school was over, Shang Zhen came over and asked about the dumpling shop.
"There's only a week left before the exams and the holiday. I don't have time to run the store right now." Ye Xiaomei had planned to ask her mother to help, but with the two children being born prematurely, she's been so busy that she can't even straighten her back.
Shang Zhen smacked his lips and looked at the students gathered in the class with a worried look on his face.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm short of money. I'm going crazy." Shang Zhen said without any hesitation.
Ye Xiaomei took out her account book and carefully counted the money, including the rent, the money for treating Shang Xuetang and the others to meals, the money for food and drink during the recent confinement period, and even Ma Qijun's allowance from last month. After deducting those, Ye Xiaomei found that there was only 500 yuan left in her passbook.
"How much do you need?" After all, their dumpling shop is a partnership.
"At least eight hundred yuan." Shang Zhen scratched his head, looking very conflicted, but at this moment in the entire school, it was estimated that there would be no one as wealthy as Ye Xiaomei.
"Eight hundred?" Ye Xiaomei was stunned for a moment, and walked towards the rental house without stopping: "Why do you suddenly need so much money?"
"I really can't tell you this. I will definitely confess it later." Shang Zhen scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously.
"It's not a matter of telling me or not. All I have is five hundred dollars."
As she was talking, Ye Xiaomei had already arrived. Her mother quickly called her to feed her baby. Ye Xiaomei didn't have time to think about it and had to feed the baby first.
Shang Zhen was circling around Ye Xiaomei, and he was in no mood to play with the baby. "What should I do? I need the money urgently. How about this? You lend me three hundred, and I'll figure out the rest."
Ye Xiaomei looked up at Shang Zhen and said, "Our dumpling shop hasn't opened yet. By then, we won't even have any money left to run the business. You have to spend these three hundred yuan wisely."
If it weren't for Shang Zhen's money, she would have no money to set up the dumpling stall. Ye Xiaomei gritted her teeth and took out the three hundred yuan.
Shang Zhen's eyes sparkled with gratitude when he took the three hundred yuan: "Xiao Mei, don't worry, I will definitely return it to you in a week, and the dumpling shop will not be affected in its opening."
"Yeah." Ye Xiaomei didn't say much and patted Shang Zhen's shoulder: "Life will definitely get better and better in the future."
"hiss!"
Unexpectedly, Shang Zhen's shoulder felt heavy, and she covered her left arm and grimaced in pain.
"What's wrong with you?" Ye Xiaomei was also stunned.
Shang Zhen rubbed his arm and said with a smile: "Damn, the school toilet is too slippery. I fell while taking a shower last night. Fortunately, it's not serious, just purple."
"You wouldn't fight with someone while taking a shower in the restroom, would you?" Ye Xiaomei was puzzled. The tile was indeed slippery, but a square-shaped floor tile wouldn't cause such a fall.
"How is that possible? Even though my father and teachers don't love me, I wouldn't fight with anyone in school."
Shang Zhen raised the money in his hand and walked away: "Thank you, I'll return it to you in a week."
Ye Xiaomei felt melancholy as she clutched the only two hundred yuan she had. She was still breastfeeding, and her mother told her to drink more crucian carp soup, pig's trotter soup, etc., otherwise she would not produce milk. And if two children ate together, the older they got, the more they ate.
Sometimes she would only accept the money reluctantly if I forced it on her, otherwise the food expenses would be a considerable one.
The sheep at home have not yet been sent out of the pen, and Zhao Mei actually does not have much money to use.
The midterm exams were scheduled for Thursday and Friday. During these days, I could basically see Shang Zhen in class, but she disappeared after school. Fortunately, Ye Xiaomei felt completely relaxed after the exams.
Xiaoya happened to be on vacation, so Ye Xiaomei started preparing for opening the business without waiting for Shang Zhen to get involved.
With the remaining 182 yuan, Ye Xiaomei originally wanted to make a plaque, but when she inquired there, she found out that it would only cost 20 yuan, so she gave up.
Ye Xiaomei found a board and wrote a few words on it with red paint - Zhuangyuan Dumplings. She then spent three yuan to buy a plate of 200 firecrackers and that marked the opening of the business.
"Xiao Mei, you said a bowl of twelve dumplings can be sold for two yuan. Do people in this city have the money to make dumplings?"
While making dumplings, Zhao Mei said, "In total, I made more than double the money." After all, it only takes less than a pound of meat to make twelve dumplings.
Ye Xiaomei looked at her mother helplessly and pulled the corner of her mouth: "Mom, isn't the water, electricity, coal briquettes, rent and labor the cost?"
"Oh!" Zhao Mei's pupils shrank and she stared at her daughter with eyes as big as light bulbs.
