After Lao Pan and Minister Tan left, Yao Tongxu ran over, snatched the passbook, flipped it open, and exclaimed, "How many zeros are there again?"
This remark caught the attention of the two bickering girls, who looked over. Xiao Yan laughed and scolded, "You little rascal, you only have four zeros at most, what are you going to do with five?"
Yao Tongxu's hands were trembling: "Four zeros are four zeros. Aunt Xiao, guess what number comes before the four zeros?"
Xiao Yan didn't care: "At most, it's just a number 2. Is it really worth your hands and feet shaking?"
"It's 4! 40,000! How did you manage that, Brother Xiao? You haven't even finished one semester of translation!"
Xiao Gengwu rarely retorted: "It's been almost a semester!"
Yao Tongxu: "......" You earned 40,000 yuan in less than a semester, and you still dare to say it's almost a semester! Aren't you afraid someone will beat you to death!
These words made Xiao Yan and Yao Yanxin stand up: "Really that much? Isn't it 100 yuan per book? I remember it started at the beginning of the semester, and now the semester is almost over."
"At most, it's only 4 months. How could you translate 400 books in 4 months? No, you started at 100 yuan per book!"
Xiao Gengwu did not answer, continuing to look at the book in his hands. Yao Tongjia explained, "For the first month, he translated three books a day, and for the next three months, he translated five books a day."
"So, around 400 books would be about right. Sometimes, if the books are thicker, we get paid more! If we had books to translate every day, we could get even more. It's a pity Lao Pan isn't here with us, otherwise we'd get even more!"
Xiao Yan and Yao Yanxin looked at the passbook and realized they had never seen so much money before. They counted the digits again and again.
"It really is Yuan! Yanzi, look at what you've done, did you give birth to a son? Did you lay a golden egg?" Yao Yanxin blurted out unintentionally.
Xiao Yan snatched the bankbook away: "You're the one who laid the egg, I gave birth to a child! Besides, are you going to say your daughter married an egg?"
Xiao Yan was originally going to say that what you laid was the egg, but then she suddenly remembered that Yao Tongjia was her daughter-in-law, so she couldn't say that her daughter-in-law was the egg and had to change her words!
These words made Yao Yanxin smile foolishly at her daughter and son-in-law: "We're just used to joking around, we didn't mean anything by it!"
Yao Tongjia wouldn't get involved in the two adults' affairs: "As you can see, we have money. You can be more generous with your spending."
"What we lack right now are tickets. I think I'll talk to the person who gave us the medicine next time and ask them to give us more tickets, any kind of tickets will do! We'll even exchange them for money!"
Xiao Yan nodded: "In the future, I can exchange tickets with others at the hospital. I don't need to think about food coupons, because food coupons are rationed and everyone has to eat them."
“But we can go back to the countryside to buy it in the future. As long as they are willing to sell, we can buy some fine grains. The rice that Geng’er bought last time was very fragrant!”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's mouths watered; they truly left a lingering fragrance in their mouths!
Upon hearing the word "rice," Xiao Gengwu looked at Yao Tongjia. Yao Tongjia winked at him, and Xiao Gengwu understood immediately: "I can buy some more!"
Yao Yanxin went back to get the money: "How much money do you need? I received 500 yuan today, I'll give you 50 yuan, you can buy as much as you want! Let's spend this money first!"
Xiao Gengwu took the money, turned around, and handed it to Yao Tongjia. Yao Tongjia took the money and waved it in her hand, saying, "The money is still in my hands!"
After saying that, she raised an eyebrow and looked at her mother. Yao's mother felt her hands itching to spank this shameless daughter!
Xiao Yan was different; she loved seeing her son and Yao Tongjia get along well, and immediately nodded happily: "It's only right for the wife to manage the money!"
Judging from Yao Ma and Xiao Yan's reactions, raising a daughter is truly heartbreaking! What a leaky little cotton-padded jacket!
Xiao Gengwu finished reading a book and stood up: "Shall we go out to buy something?"
Yao Tongjia, drooling as she thought of the newly grown rice in her space, nodded and stood up: "Let's go out and buy rice and pork, and make braised pork!"
Yao Tongxu immediately jumped up: "I want to go too! I want to go too!"
Yao Tongjia: "......" How am I supposed to get my things if you go?!
Xiao Gengwu: "..." You brat, do you still want to eat braised pork? If you go there, there won't be any rice or braised pork!
What can you do with your own younger brother? You can only spoil him: "The place we're going to isn't suitable for you. If you want anything, I can buy it for you!"
Yao Tongxu was clearly a little unhappy, but he knew what was important: "Do you have White Rabbit milk candy? I want some candy!"
Xiao Yan quickly searched through the bag: "I exchanged some tickets with someone today, and it seems there are some candy coupons. You can take these coupons and buy whatever you want."
"We're not short of money now, so let's buy whatever we want!" Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Yan burst out laughing: "Do I look like a poor person who suddenly became rich?"
"It's not just similar, it's completely similar! Be confident, remove the similarity!" Yao Yanxin habitually argued with her friend!
Yao Tongjia and Xiao Gengwu ignored the bickering between the two adults and stepped out: "Where are we going now?"
Xiao Gengwu shook his head: "I just wanted to find an excuse to go out and buy some things, and also take a walk!"
"Rest when you're tired. You can see that we don't need anything right now, so there's no need to overwork yourself!"
"Reading is a form of relaxation for me, and I really don't feel tired, so don't worry!"
"Then why did you agree to come out today?" In this day and age, two people need to keep some distance when walking, so it's really quite difficult for two people to walk and talk at the same time!
If we really want to chat, we might as well do it in the yard!
"I heard there are small boats for rowing in the park, how about we go rowing there?" Xiao Gengwu said this seemingly casually, but it surprised Yao Tongjia.
"Who told you that? Don't you usually delete useless information?"
Xiao Gengwu has an exceptional memory, but as a result, he remembers every piece of information he hears as if it were new. However, the constant influx of information puts a great burden on his brain.
He usually deletes messages automatically, and he automatically filters out unimportant information. I didn't expect him to absorb irrelevant information this time.
Xiao Gengwu felt a little awkward: "I just heard that, and I was thinking that you haven't relaxed at all since you came here, so I wanted to take you to relax!"
He was too embarrassed to tell Yao Tongjia that he had overheard someone saying that for two people to have a good relationship, they need to go out on dates from time to time.
He thought about how he and Yao Tongjia were always surrounded by people, either in the yard or in the classroom, especially now that Aunt Yao had come over, there was really no chance for them to be alone.
How can their relationship develop if things continue like this? He still needs to maintain it, so he took her words to heart and started going on dates with her!
