Chapter 438: Li’s First Bucket of Gold
But Cheng Qiao didn't make a fuss. It was normal for a person with special abilities to have a big appetite. She secretly took out more than 30 yuan and put it under the bowl. This was the money for today's meal.
The two finished all the food and left. The proprietress came to clear the table with a sigh. Business was good today, but she didn't know if she could make back the loss of more than 30 yuan.
When she picked up the bowl, she was surprised to find the rice money under the bowl. What surprised her even more was that the girl with a big appetite also had rice money under her bowl. The total amount for the two of them was a full seventy yuan.
"Old Deng, Old Deng, you gave the two girls too much money today."
The proprietress didn't bother to clean up the table. She ran to her man with the money and waved the money in her hand. Old Deng frowned slightly, wondering what this meant.
“This money must be returned.”
"Why?"
"If you don't give it back, I'm going to do this to your man."
The boss's hands started to crawl like turtles again, and the boss's wife's eyes were filled with anger. Are you cursing yourself or me?
"Wife, I was wrong. I originally thought..."
"Don't explain. You wanted to get something for free, but ended up getting hurt, right? It's always like this. If you do this again, I'll chop off your claws."
Old Deng quickly put his hand back into his trouser pocket. Seeing that his wife was cleaning the table again, he quickly put the money back into his trouser pocket. After the lunch business was over, he went to the school to return the money.
The two returned to the garrison. Mu Handong saw Cheng Qiao enter the military area and leave. Cheng Qiao turned around and took a look, and saw that the person who was clearly in front of him just now had become a dot in the blink of an eye.
Cheng Qiao's eyes suddenly narrowed. When she was eating just now, she actually forgot that Mu Handong was a person with super powers. Who would have thought that such a beautiful woman, except for her big appetite, was a person with super powers.
Cheng Qiao glanced at the soldier standing guard at the door and wanted to ask him what he saw, but in the end he went in without saying anything.
Cheng Qiao did not go back to the dormitory directly, but went to the military training area. There were quite a variety of equipment there, and Cheng Qiao prepared to exercise well.
A figure stood silently by the side, watching Cheng Qiao's clothes change color due to sweating, but he was still waiting quietly.
Cheng Qiao had already sensed someone coming, so he took out a towel and wiped the sweat off his face, then slowly walked over:
"Sister-in-law, why are you here?"
"Cheng Qiao, I've wanted to come here for a long time, but I couldn't enter your place yesterday, but I can come in today."
Cheng Qiao nodded. Today, Mu Hantong came and the alert was lifted. The family members of the military district could still come in, but Li Bing was not here now. What was Meili doing here?
"Cheng Qiao, my mother..."
"What happened to your mother?"
"Her belly is too big and she has no vacation, so she quit her job. Now she is supported by my father's income alone, but my mother is greedy, so..."
"Do you want to borrow money? How much do you need?"
Cheng Qiao has plenty of money, especially during the period when the dormitory building was being built. She didn't know how much the things in Cheng Qiao's space were sold for. The last thing she lacks now is money.
"I'm not here to borrow money from you. I have Li Bing's salary card. I also have a job, and I only have one child. The money is more than enough, and I can even give my mother some subsidy."
"So what do you want to do?"
"I think my mother's belly is too big. Dr. Zhu has refused to see my mother, saying that she is a disobedient pregnant woman. He does not have the ability and time to keep a close eye on a disobedient pregnant woman."
"What's the meaning."
"Doctor Zhu told my mother to eat less and move more, and not to worry too much even if the baby in her belly is a boy. Otherwise, eating too much and not moving will be bad for the fetus and the pregnant woman."
"Yes, Dr. Zhu is right."
"But when my mother heard Dr. Zhu tell her not to worry about the baby in her belly, she got upset and kept finding fault. Dr. Zhu is now too lazy to see her and hides when he sees her."
"Do you want me to tell your mother to eat less and exercise more?"
Jiang Meili nodded. She had no other choice but to ask Cheng Qiao for help. Cheng Qiao shook her head decisively. She also had to take care of Li Huan. In two days, his father and son would be here. She had to prepare more delicious food. Who had the leisure time to care about other people's affairs?
"Cheng Qiao, I beg you."
Seeing Cheng Qiao shaking her head without hesitation, Jiang Meili wanted to kneel down in a hurry, but Cheng Qiao pulled her up in time. Looking at her red and swollen eyes, Cheng Qiao finally gave in:
"Your mother has been pregnant for eight or nine months, right? It's too late now, the baby is already formed. How about this, when your mother is about to give birth, if she needs me, I will come to see her."
Although Jiang Meili was disappointed, she knew that her mother's life would be saved no matter what when she received such a promise from Cheng Qiao. She hoped that her mother would not commit suicide, otherwise no one could save her.
Cheng Liguo and Cheng Li finally arrived at the garrison. When Cheng Li saw Cheng Qiao, he ran over happily and told Cheng Qiao that he could skip a grade this year.
However, Cheng Qiao shook her head and told Cheng Li not to skip a grade. If he had enough time, he could choose some extracurricular interests to pursue. Cheng Li's vision was opened up, and he told Cheng Qiao with bright eyes that he wanted to open a grocery store.
“Do you have a source of supply?”
"I have. Uncle Skinny Monkey wrote to me and said he would give me whatever I wanted at the lowest price."
"So what do you sell?"
"I sell vegetables, meat, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, sugar and cigarettes. I can also sell exercise books, pencils, school bags and other things that students need."
Li Huan shook his head in amusement. This must be genetic inheritance. A kid who is only ten years old has already thought of opening a shop. What would those people over fifty think?
“How much capital do you need?”
"Mom, I have good news for you. I have saved enough money. Grandpa has bought a piece of land near my school. When I have summer vacation, I can hire someone to help me."
Cheng Qiao opened her eyes wide in surprise. Her son actually bought a piece of land. Although the land in Minqin is not valuable now, it is developing. As time goes by, the land price will eventually reach a peak.
"How much did you buy it for? What are you going to do during the summer vacation?"
"I bought three acres of land for three hundred yuan, and I plan to build a house during the summer vacation. Just like the grocery store we had in Chuncheng, my grandfather and I will grab a few important products to sell, and rent out the rest as stalls to others."
"Haha, you are worthy of being my son. Can Dad buy some shares?"
"No, this is my and my grandfather's shop, we don't want anyone's money."
"Money-grubber, mom won't invest, but can mom support you for a bit? For example, I can give you the first sum of money for starting a business. You don't have to use it, but if you need it, I can give you courage, right?"
