Chapter 018 Borrowing Money (I)
When Qiao Nan came home, Qiao Lin was cross-legged and watching "Super Girl" with relish, while the other three Qiao family members were sitting in the back room discussing things.
Qiao Nan snatched the watermelon from Qiao Lin's hand and gnawed off most of it in one bite. Jolene's gaze seemed to be filled with deep hatred, and two words came out of her mouth: "Bandit!"
Qiao Nan didn't care, he finished the watermelon in three or two bites, and flicked his sister's head: "The adults are discussing things, you are still looking good here, are you still not the Qiao family?"
Jolene spread her hands innocently: "Did they deliberately break me up?" I also want to know what they said!"
Qiao Nan was helpless, opened the curtain and walked in. As he expected, his parents were discussing Qiao Lu's study abroad. The equivalent of 10,000 US dollars in RMB stumped this ordinary family.
Qiao Nan was confused: "Isn't it a public derivation, why do you need a deposit?"
"If I come back, the bond will be paid back, and if I don't come back, it will be confiscated. It is not easy for the country to cultivate a talent, and I can understand it. Qiao Lu was very guilty: "It's because I ignored the actual situation at home, I shouldn't have applied." β
Qiao Jianjun crossed one leg and said calmly: "No, being a scientist has been your dream since you were a child, but your parents have no ability and have held you back." β
Li Lanzhi was not in the mood to say this, she was thinking about the way to borrow money very rationally: "The family only has more than 10,000 deposits now, and we have to save 70,000 yuan, so that Lulu's procedures can be foolproof." I wanted to go to the Wei family to borrow some money, but I fell out with the Wei family at this juncture, so how could I be embarrassed to borrow money from others? Or I will talk to Lan Lan again, and borrow 20,000 or 30,000 yuan from her first, and then you can find a way to find a way from your old comrades-in-arms to see how much money you can raise. β
Qiao Jianjun didn't speak, but Qiao Nan said very firmly: "Don't take money from my aunt's family, I borrowed her family's money, and she wants to trample our family under her feet!
Qiao Lu hurriedly said, "No, you can't borrow it from Xu Wei's house!"
Qiao Nan was very puzzled, but Qiao Jianjun noticed something, he nodded silently and supported his daughter's idea: "The mouth of eating others is short, and the hands of others are short, we can't owe the Xu family favors, so as not to be used by others in the future." β
Qiao Lu glanced at her father gratefully, but Qiao Nan was still confused. He couldn't understand why every suggestion he made was rejected by his father? He didn't give up, and continued: "Then I'll go to my comrades and see how much money they can scrape." β
Qiao Jianjun said: "You don't have to worry about money. I borrowed money from around at a young age, and I couldn't have understood what it was like. It's good that you just study hard, and your mother and I will figure it out. β
If every wrinkle on his face bears witness to a tribulation, then the suffering experienced by his father must be innumerable. Qiao Nan was panicked - why can't he share his family's worries after going to college?
Qiao Lu felt even more uncomfortable, she was just in the mood to try it out and apply for a public international student, but she didn't expect to pass the selection smoothly. If she gives up this qualification, then applying for any national program in the future will be hindered, which will have a very bad effect. Although she has these concerns, Qiao Lu knows that there is another reason why she can't give up, that is, there has always been a voice in her heart shouting - you must go to a higher and farther place to see!
Early the next morning, Qiao Jianjun couldn't take care of his business, so he went out to borrow money. Li Lanzhi is not too busy after the summer vacation, so she looks at the wonton restaurant. The three children were not in the store, and Li Lanzhi felt quieter than ever.
After wrapping two full grates of wontons, she had frozen shoulder, and she grinned in pain, and found a plaster in the small bookcase, and wanted to change it herself in the back room.
No sooner had she basked her shoulders than she heard someone coming. Li Lanzhi sighed helplessly, put down her clothes, and greeted: "This is coming!"
"Laneige, it's me!"
Hearing Chen Yun's sweet and glutinous voice, Li Lanzhi breathed a sigh of relief and shouted in the back room: "Chen Yun, come and help me put a plaster on it." β
With Chen Yun's help, the plaster was quickly applied, and the slightest coolness soaked into the bone marrow, and Li Lanzhi finally didn't hurt as much as just now.
Chen Yun couldn't stand it, and said worriedly: "You better go to the hospital for a check-up! Don't be like a few years ago, a small illness drags on into a serious illness, and in the end, it costs the people and money, and the family can't slow down for several years." β
Li Lanzhi said: "Don't worry, I went to the hospital a long time ago, and the doctor said that I have regular physiotherapy, and sometimes I forget when I am busy." It's been more than ten years old, and I guess it's not going to get betterβby the way, why are you free?
Chen Yun said with a smile: "I hired two teachers to help me watch, I'm not busy at this time, I'll go over later." β
Chen Yun said, took out a passbook from the small bag she was carrying, and handed it to Li Lanzhi: "There are 30,000 yuan in it, and the password is Yangyang's birthday, go to the bank to withdraw it first!"
Li Lanzhi held the passbook in disbelief: "How do you know that I need money?"
Chen Yun smiled mysteriously and lowered her voice: "Linlin overheard your conversation, and came to my house to complain to Yangyang this morning, and I heard it again." So, don't blame Linlin, and don't tell her I lent you money!"
Li Lanzhi had mixed feelings: "You said you... Alas, what do you want me to say!"
Chen Yun took her hand and said with relief: "Don't talk about the rest, you have to let Lulu go abroad smoothly! She applied for a public student, not only can she get a living allowance of 1,000 US dollars a month, but after returning to China, she will be a proper pillar of the country! Such a good opportunity, it can't be delayed because of this little thing." β
Li Lanzhi looked ashamed and said: "Lulu is the eldest in my family, and she is the most sensible among the three children, this is her lifetime opportunity, and I don't want to leave her regrets." β
Chen Yun said angrily: "Then you don't look for me for the first time, what are you bothering about here?" You also know that my family bought another house a while ago, and the funds are a little overturned, you can use the 30,000 yuan first, and when the old grandson comes back from a business trip, I will ask him what he can do." β
"Chen Yun, I really don't know how to thank you, I always borrow money from your family, I don't want to go. β
Chen Yun said heartily: "We have been friends for more than 20 years, what are you talking about? Besides, if I really want to calculate, how can I repay the favors I owe you? If it weren't for your help again and again, would my family Yangyang be able to grow up healthy and healthy? The so-called human relations are mutual, who doesn't have a difficult time? You help me when I am in difficulty, and when you are in difficulty, won't I come to help you?"
Chen Yun's smile was as bright as when she was young, as if she would never know the sorrow of the world. Li Lanzhi's heart was warm, and there was a trace of envy: "When I was in college, you were the 'auspicious and wealthy flower' of our class, living the life of a Shanghai lady, and how many people were greedy! After so many years, among our classmates, you still have the best life." β
"Hey, it's just that people say that, don't you know how much I suffered, or don't you know how many times I cried? Everyone has their own life, but they have to live their lives seriously. β
After Chen Yun finished speaking, she was about to get up and say goodbye, and then advised: "Don't tell Linlin, she is afraid of revealing your family's secrets." β
"Don't worry, I won't say it. β
"And oh, you can't treat people like children all the time, she's much more sensible than you think. I guess she secretly told Yangyang and didn't tell me, I'm afraid she was afraid of losing face for your adults!"
Li Lanzhi nodded again and again: "Yes, I have grown up a lot this summer, and the little broken child is also sensible." β
When Chen Yun was about to go out, Li Lanzhi took out a small bag of cornmeal from the back kitchen as if she remembered something, and said, "My mother came to Gangcheng a few days ago and brought some cornmeal. Take it back, doesn't the baby love to drink corn paste?"
Chen Yun's eyes lit up, and she thanked her repeatedly: "Ouch, I can't find such a good cornmeal in Hong Kong City!" Thank you for the baby first!"
After Chen Yun left, Li Lanzhi opened the passbook, which contained an ID card and a membership card of the foot spa city, and a post-it note was pasted on the back of the card.
"I have several cards, and there are ten more in this card, just south of the main entrance of the school garden. You have too many things to worry about, and when you have time to do a massage, you must take good care of it. Don't just worry about others and forget about yourself.
Yun"
Li Lanzhi suddenly couldn't control it anymore, holding the passbook, tears raining down.
