Shen Qiaoyue didn't give Lu He any money; she bought it with the hundred yuan she had.
How much did you spend today?
That hundred yuan was for Lu He's spending money.
"Not much. I spent two yuan on meat, one yuan on potatoes, three yuan on two large grass carp, and one yuan on cabbage."
Lu He had actually calculated it very clearly.
He smiled and said, "Maybe it's because of the Chinese New Year, the vegetable prices are cheaper today than yesterday."
Shen Qiaoyue listened to Lu He's words and remembered everything clearly; she was very good at managing the household frugally.
"Lu He, don't remember these unimportant things next time. Your sister-in-law will cover the household expenses. You're still a student, you should be happy like the other kids in the compound." Shen Qiaoyue came over to wash her hands and help out.
"Sister-in-law, am I being too extravagant?" Lu He was actually being very frugal.
I've spent quite a bit of that money these past few days—one hundred yuan.
Shen Qiaoyue helped pick vegetables, and looking at Lu He, she explained with a smile, "It's not that I think you spend too much, it's just that I think you're too sensible and it will be tiring."
I feel sorry for Lu He; she remembers everything.
He has always worked quietly and made quiet contributions.
Shen Qiaoyue said, "We don't need to get up so early at home. If there are no vegetables, we can just eat what the canteen has to offer. Sister-in-law doesn't pick and choose anything! After the New Year, we'll go to the fields to plant vegetables. The army has allocated a piece of land where we can grow some vegetables."
After saying that, Shen Qiaoyue fell silent.
Although vegetables can be grown, the number cannot exceed the prescribed limit, Shen Qiaoyue blurted out in her haste.
Lu He said, "It's okay if we don't grow vegetables, we can just buy them."
Shen Qiaoyue remained silent.
It will take ten years, and those days will be very difficult!
"Lu He, what are your plans after graduation?" Shen Qiaoyue asked Lu He.
Lu He thought for a moment and said, "I haven't decided yet. I ran into the army commander's wife today, and she said the hospital needs nurses. I'm planning to learn some nursing knowledge and become a nurse. What do you think, sister-in-law?"
“Yes, you’ve studied pharmacology. If you’re interested, you can learn some, starting at the clinic,” Shen Qiaoyue agreed.
Lu He was overjoyed to receive his sister-in-law's support and affirmation for his idea.
After lunch, Shen Qiaoyue could clearly sense that the people in the family compound were preparing for the New Year.
The atmosphere was great, and the weather was lovely today.
Anlude also brought several kilograms of pork, some vegetables, and some millet and corn.
After exchanging a few brief words, Anlude returned home.
