Chapter 163 Buying a Military Coat
Fu Jingyou was shocked by He Hongjin's grand display.
The man took a few steps back, then suddenly took out a handful of banknotes and put them into his pocket, then handed the remaining money forward again:
"Well, then..."
"Why do you have a head made of granite? You are clueless!"
He Hongjin suddenly became anxious. He put on his shoes, took out the repaired weighing rod from the table, and jumped up to hit Fu Jingyou twice.
Fu Jingyou retreated to the door. Chen Guifen quickly stopped in front of He Hongjin and waved her chin at him:
"Okay, let's go back, let's go back first, ah!"
Fu Jingyou nodded, threw the messy bills on the threshold, and ran away with a jump.
He Hongjin in the room was also jumping up and down:
"You bastard, you're as stubborn as that donkey!"
"That's alright, it's also the child's intention."
Chen Guifen sighed helplessly, let go of He Hongjin, walked to the threshold and picked up the money.
I counted several big unity bills, and the total amount was fifty-two dollars and sixty cents...
This is really not young...
Chen Guifen hesitated and couldn't make a decision. She turned around and looked at He Hongjin and asked:
"How about we pay more attention to that side from now on? Watch it slowly get closer?"
He Hongjin laughed at her coldly:
"Huh, didn't you say the child's feelings? Then why are you asking me?"
Chen Guifen rolled her eyes at him.
"Sometimes I really don't like looking at your dog face."
He Hongjin approached her with his hands on his hips and chest puffed out:
"Dog face? I have a dog face, what kind of face do you have? You have a pig face!"
"..." Chen Guifen shook her head and walked around him. "You keep talking nonsense all the time. Who can really talk to you?"
"Hey, even if we can't talk anymore, we've been talking for most of our lives."
Chen Guifen brought the water into the house, and He Hongjin followed her around, muttering to herself, looking quite smug:
"Comrade Chen Guifen, do you dislike me now? I'm telling you, it's useless to dislike me. I've already raised three children and now have two grandchildren. It's useless to dislike me!"
"What a frivolous old thing! Why don't you wash your feet and get out? You keep creating new things, it's so annoying!"
"Hehe, haha, I didn't say I wouldn't wash! Aren't you coming in to wash now?"
He Hongjin and his wife quarreled from time to time.
On the other side, Fu Jingyoutian rushed home at dusk, and Lu Miao had just finished taking a shower and washing his hair.
Fu Jingyou entered the room, but the bath water had not yet arrived and Lu Miao was not in the room.
He poured the bath water and went to the kitchen.
Lu Miao was sitting by the stove, warming himself by the fire.
I have been eating sweet potatoes and potatoes for many meals recently.
Lu Miao was too embarrassed to be picky about the food Chen Guifen cooked.
She didn't even eat two bites of the sweet potatoes and potatoes at noon, let alone at night.
He simply soaked some snow frogs at noon. Fu Jingyou came back, and considering that he hadn't eaten anything good in the past few days, Lu Miao specially soaked two more.
There are two bowls of steaming in the pot right now.
While waiting for the snow frog, Lu Miao was drying his hair by the fire.
Fu Jingyou chuckled twice in a low voice, went to the beam of the front room, took down a rag bag and handed it to Lu Miao.
"What's this?"
"red dates."
"Red dates? Such a big bag?"
As Lu Miao asked the question, he had already opened the bag pocket and looked inside.
The flame flickered at the stove, but it was hard to see clearly. She reached in and grabbed a handful, and it was real.
"Bought it?"
Lu Miao asked this, but he actually didn't think so.
The red dates you buy should be larger, as the red date slices in the bag are smaller.
She stuffed one after another into her mouth. They tasted sweet, just like the ones she bought.
Fu Jingyou brought a small stool and sat with her at the stove door, warming themselves by the fire and eating red dates.
"I didn't buy them. You said that steaming and drying dates would make them red, so I tried it... I didn't have much free time back then, so I didn't make much. They're all here."
Lu Miao nodded and ate the red dates one by one:
"Red dates replenish blood, let's make more tomorrow!"
The red dates he made himself did not have the pits removed, but it didn’t matter, because the red dates Lu Miao had bought in the neighboring Yanji Town also had pits.
Fu Jingyou accompanied her to eat a small handful, then brought a kerosene lamp and a small table.
He locked the back door to prevent the wind from coming in, then winked at Lu Miao across the small table.
"Come closer."
"What are you doing?"
A kerosene lamp illuminated the faces of the two people. When Lu Miao approached the table, Fu Jingyou took out all the messy bills in his pocket.
There are denominations of ten yuan, one yuan, fifty cents, twenty cents, and five cents.
The colorful bills took up most of the small table, creating a great visual impact.
Lu Miao couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly:
"so much?"
Fu Jingyou loved to see her surprised look, so he picked out a ten-yuan note, straightened it out, and handed it to her. He then picked out another two-yuan note and straightened it out.
"Count?"
Lu Miao nodded.
Fu Jingyou was responsible for sorting the bills, and she was responsible for counting the money.
After counting every penny for almost half an hour, Lu Miao's eyes were almost dizzy:
"Two hundred and sixty-eight and forty!"
Fu Jingyou nodded, took the bill from her hand, counted out one hundred and thirty yuan, and handed the remaining one hundred yuan back to her.
Lu Miao's eyes were blank. Fu Jingyou held the bill and said:
"I'll give you this military coat when I go to the county tomorrow."
Seeing him take half the stack, Lu Miao asked, "How much is the military coat?"
Fu Jingyou answered truthfully.
Lu Miao snorted, his eyes widened in a second, and he snatched the money back from his hand:
"One hundred and thirty dollars! You're so bold!"
Even if they have money, they shouldn’t spend it like this, let alone they have no money!
Fu Jingyou rubbed his hands empty-handed under the kerosene lamp.
"I saw that military coat last time. It's very thick. They said it weighed eight or nine kilograms."
Lu Miao looked up at him, pursed her rosy lips slightly, snorted, lowered her head to continue sorting the bills, and ignored him.
Fu Jingyou reached across the table and hooked her little finger with his index finger, trying to persuade her:
"It's really thick and big. It can be used as a blanket at night..."
Lu Miao glared at him angrily: "When you buy it, hug the military coat to sleep at night instead of hugging me. If you think it's okay, then let's buy it."
That definitely won’t work.
Fu Jingyou immediately stopped talking.
"Five dollars is enough for your daily expenses. I've asked around, and most people either have a dime or two on them, or nothing at all. This is definitely enough for you."
Lu Miao took out five yuan from the banknotes and gave it to Fu Jingyou, shaking the rest in his hand:
"I'll keep the rest. If you need any necessary expenses, please ask me. I'll also get your approval if I have any large expenses."
Fu Jingyou shook his head, his handsome face looking particularly serious under the kerosene lamp:
"I don't have to spend any money, it's all yours, you can spend it however you want."
Lu Miao tsk- ...
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll bully you."
Fu Jingyou chuckled foolishly.
The porcelain bowl in the pot made a "thump thump thump" sound.
Lu Miao said, "It's steamed. Go take it out and we'll eat it together."
"Um."
Fu Jingyou stood up to pick it up.
The two of them finished eating red dates and snow frogs around the small table, and then brushed their teeth together outside the door with their necks hunched.
Lu Miao held a kerosene lamp in one hand and a bag of red dates in the other, while Fu Jingyou was busy latching the back door.
"I brushed my teeth in the morning, why do I have to brush them again at night?"
