Liu Jianxin sat in the main room, warming himself by the fire and reading a book. He would go into the room from time to time to check on his father, and when he saw that his father was sleeping soundly, he was very happy: his father had been suffering from an old illness for many years, and he had not eaten or slept well, and he was tortured to the point of being emaciated. He had not had such a good sleep for a long time.
Meng Zhehan and Xu Yulin were playing chess in the side room. The two were evenly matched and it was almost always a draw. The people watching nearby were enjoying the game very much, cheering and commenting. Xu Yuting was watching the game with great concentration, as if he was playing chess himself, and completely forgot to pay attention to Meng Tao.
Shen Yu took the opportunity to ask Zhang Guoqing to take Zhou Cuiling out to play, while he took Meng Tao and carried Wangcai to the next room.
Of course the door could not be closed; it had to be kept completely open, with the two of them sitting on each bed and talking politely.
Captain Bao came carrying a big pumpkin and even walked past the door for a special "inspection", glancing at them twice.
Meng Tao: “…” It feels awkward.
When Shen Yu talked about small amounts of money, she immediately felt better.
Shen Yu took out a canvas schoolbag from his carry-on suitcase and handed it to Meng Tao, saying it was her stuff. Meng Tao took it and opened it, her eyes widened: a bag full of RMB! Bundles of brand new big unity, flipping down, there were actually a few bundles of colorful foreign currencies: US dollars, francs, and British pounds. Meng Tao looked up at Shen Yu. She couldn't show that she knew these things, right?
Shen Yu picked up the foreign currency and taught her one by one: "You love money, don't you? Then you should also learn about the currencies of other countries. The currencies printed in different countries are different. These are just for you to play with. In the future, I will take you on a trip abroad if there is a chance. You are using our own country's currency now. Here are 60,000 great unity for your daily use. Can you keep them well? If not, I will deposit them in the bank for you. You can withdraw as much as you need."
"Don't deposit it in the bank. I can keep it safe." Meng Tao hurriedly put all the money into her canvas schoolbag.
Are you kidding me? I can let the money fly away? I have to go to the bank to withdraw it, so wouldn’t it be better to put it in my own space? However, I received 60,000 Datong in one go! Plus those bundles of foreign currency... Oh my god! I didn’t expect to have so much. I’m really rich now!
Meng Tao almost couldn't suppress her inner ecstasy. She certainly understood the magical effect of space products. If it were in the future, the benefits that could be exchanged would be even greater. But now it was the 1970s, and people generally only had a salary of 30 or 40 yuan to support a large family. What was the concept of holding tens of thousands of yuan in cash? It was like the landlords of ancient times! Even the top dignitaries today, or those wealthy families hidden in the market, or those who were dressed in poverty and had secret ancestral treasures, they couldn't raise this amount of money immediately.
So it would be a lie to say Meng Tao wasn't excited.
The little miser was obviously very happy, but pretended not to care. The more Shen Yu watched, the more interesting it became. He felt itchy and wanted to pinch that little pink face. The little miser had gained weight recently, and his face was rounder than before.
But it wasn't possible. The door was open and Captain Bao was talking in the next room. His loud, buzzing voice sounded as if he would come over here at any time.
Just now, the two of them were sitting on separate beds, and Captain Bao even stared at them twice. Now they are sitting on the same bed. If they pinch each other's faces and are seen by Captain Bao, it will not leave a good impression.
Alas, it is so difficult for him to have a relationship.
Shen Yu smiled and said, "Then you should keep it. After all, the amount is too much. If someone finds out, I can explain the source, but you might be noticed. At least in this place, your daily life will not be as easy as before. Of course, leave here, marry me and follow me, and everything will be fine."
Meng Tao: “…”
Yesterday he was going to be a fiancé, and today he is going to be married. It’s easy for him to say it.
After packing the canvas bag, Shen Yu handed over two more pieces of paper.
Meng Tiao took it and asked: "What is this?"
"Deposit certificate, there is still some money in the bank, I deposited it for you."
“Is this your money or mine?”
"It's your income - after we get married, all mine will belong to you."
Meng Tao took the two deposit slips, carefully counted the zeros, and asked in surprise: "There are still so many here?"
Shen Yu nodded, handed her a notebook, and said softly: "Not only that, I asked someone to open an account for you abroad. In short, the total income of the two times... The password information is on this page, you should check it often and remember it... The rest is written about the precautions for raising a puppy. I will take this puppy back for training regularly in the future."
Meng Tao flipped through her notebook and listened to Shen Yu talking, her heart slowly calming down.
——There are accounts abroad! She got so much money from two truckloads of goods, but what about the dealers?
God, what did she do before? She worked hard as a porter, delivered two batches of goods, and was so happy that she almost went crazy for the little money she got. She thought she was very capable and could easily make money in the future...
Money is omnipotent, but it is also a sharp double-edged sword.
How many people would covet such a good thing that could bring huge wealth? If she hadn't met Shen Yu in Yicheng and been stopped by him, she would have definitely gone to other places to sell the third and fourth batches... The ignorant are fearless, and the foolish and bold who are not afraid of anything will never know when they will be discovered and kidnapped!
Shen Yu did not scare her. The fruit owner in Pingjiang City had already shown signs. There were many masters and smart people in this world. The sea of clouds space she owned could bring her money, but if she was not careful and did not protect it well, she would lose her life.
She thought Shen Yu and Meng Zhehan were good people who were trustworthy, but there were no absolutely good people in the world. For example, she herself could not say that she was an absolutely good person. If Shen Yu and Meng Zhehan were as greedy and evil as she was, she would have been finished long ago.
"What's wrong? Keep this notebook and read it slowly. Look up any words you don't understand in the dictionary. If you have any questions, write to me or call me."
Seeing the little money-grubber closing her notebook and lowering her head in silence, Shen Yu couldn't help but reach out and touch her head.
Shen Yu looked into her eyes and knew what she was thinking: "Remember the first time we met? At that time, I didn't think that you, a country girl, were ignorant. On the contrary, you were very smart. You were just inexperienced and didn't have much experience. You... are the smartest, cutest, warmest little fairy I have ever seen!"
“Puff!”
Meng Tao was originally in a rather depressed mood, but he managed to cheer her up. She even laughed out loud at the word "little fairy": "Who is the fairy? Do you think you are watching a movie?"
"You are my fairy."
Shen Yu did not smile, his expression was serious: "The fairies in the movies have special abilities, and you have them too! But I know that apart from being able to find rare and precious things in the world, you don't know any other fairy arts. You are like a child holding a golden cat. Anyone with a little ability and power can subdue you and snatch you away."
“So I was… ignorant before.”
"It's okay. We've already diverted the attention. Just be more careful next time."
"I won't look for those things anymore, right?"
"Then don't ask for it. This money is enough for you to have fun. We can live well with or without those things."
"Actually, those things, in my opinion, only taste slightly better. Where do you send them to for such a high price?"
Shen Yu shook his head: "They are not slightly better, but too good! Ordinary people will only feel that they are delicious, but people with slightly sensitive constitutions will know how good they are. This is especially important for certain special groups of people, that is, those who practice cultivation.
That time in Baiyun Mountain in Yicheng, you asked people if there was a Feixiantai on the mountain? Cultivation is for the purpose of ascending to heaven. This is not just a legend. In reality, there is indeed such a group of people. They are relatively secretive in our country, but overseas and in Hong Kong, those special people are very high-profile and are called "immortals". They communicate with each other and compete with each other, so when the precious ingredients you found appear, they attract attention from all sides. "
Meng Tao sighed: "Really, the more I understand, the more scared I am. I won't dare to go out anymore."
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. I will do my best to protect you, just like the guards around the princesses in ancient times, but I'm not just a guard, I'm also your lover! To protect my princess, my love, I will be more attentive, even at the cost of my life!"
Shen Yu said this very seriously, not joking at all. At this moment, Meng Tao was really moved: "Thank you for doing this for me. But I'm not as noble as the princess in the movie."
"You are my princess, and you will always be the most noble in my eyes."
"All right."
"Good what?"
"I promised you—"
"Be my love!"
Shen Yu couldn't help himself, and stretched out his hand to hold Meng Tao's hand tightly. He knew that his previous initiative was just a shameless effort to win, and now it was Meng Tao's real response, so he was really accepted! Meng Tao was afraid of being seen, and wanted to pull her hand away, but she couldn't. Shen Yu's blazing gaze seemed to be on her, and her face became hotter and hotter.
Shen Yu looked at his little money-grubber, his face flushed red like a sunset cloud, and he couldn't help but stretch out a hand to caress him. Xiao Wangcai, who had been squatting quietly, suddenly called out twice in a baby voice.
Shen Yu glanced at it and said, "Go, stay at the door."
But Xiao Wangcai didn't listen to him. Seeing that he didn't let go of Meng Tao, he pounced on him and bit his trouser legs.
Shen Yu: “…”
Little thing, the person I asked you to protect is my little fairy, why are you biting me too?
But he quickly let go of Meng Tao, and watched her reluctantly as she picked up Wangcai, not forgetting the canvas schoolbag, and hurried away with a red face.
As Meng Tao walked out, Captain Bao walked in: "This girl runs so fast and holds the dog all day long. Is she raising a dog or a child?"
He looked at Shen Yu strangely again: "Comrade Shen, what's wrong with your face? Both ears are red?"
Shen Yu calmly touched his ear: "Is there? Maybe... I got angry."
Captain Bao: Young people are quick-tempered.
I haven't eaten yet, so the second update might be a little late.
