Zhang Laohan walked back to the room and walked out with a blackened laundry detergent bag.

"Come on, come here, I'll show you how much money we have in our family!"

Xiao Mu moved over cautiously, only to see Zhang Laohan's old hands slowly open the bag.

took out a few wrinkled and neat hundreds of yuan from inside, and said to Xiao Mu: "Look, our family has so much money, you see that if you don't save some money, you will have nothing." ”

Hearing Zhang Laohan say this, a sense of urgency immediately surged in his heart, and he felt that he would collapse at any time, like a castle in the air, without a trace of foundation.

Why don't you return the money to Zhang Laohan? I will use less of it, and I don't eat snacks, as long as I have something to eat.

The picture of eating breakfast and snacks came to mind, and I thought about it or forget it, I really couldn't help such torture.

"Well, got it, I'll save some money. The voice was low, without a hint of confidence.

"You know, you know you don't take credit!"

It seems that no matter what Xiao Mu says, Zhang Laohan will scold himself, so it's better not to speak at all.

But don't speak, Zhang Laohan said again: "You guess you're a fool, you don't breathe when you say it, and I don't know if you can listen to it." ”

Being scolded when you speak, being scolded when you speak, maybe everyone has experienced this kind of situation, and they want to scold you after all.

Xiao Mu wanted to get out of this situation quickly, so he said, "Give it to me, I'm going back to school, otherwise I'll be late." ”

"Late? Can't you walk more than 10 kilometers in the afternoon?"

"Yes...... I can walk to it. ”

At this moment, the old man came out with a glass jar and told Xiao Mu: "Xiao Mu, grandma will grab some pickles for you and go back, take them out to eat when you eat, and eat." ”

Originally, this was a good thing, but Xiao Mu was unwilling, not for anything else, just because he was shy.

"Grandma, don't do it, I'm shy. ”

"Oh, you kid, what is there to be ashamed of, tell you to take it back, you will take it back, don't be verbose. ”

Although, other classmates have also taken it back, but others are full of color, flavor, and taste, and they can't take it at all, if they can take it like other people's homes, Xiao Mu will definitely take it back without saying a word, but it backfired.

However, under the repeated persuasion of the old man, Xiao Mu still took it back, not only the pickles, but also the only sausage in the house.

The sausage is cut into slices, and the old man is very serious when she washes it, and she doesn't want Xiao Mu to be ridiculed.

Zhang Laohan's scolding is over, the money is given, and the things are packed, and now he can go back to school.

Before leaving, Xiao Mu was very uncomfortable, although he was scolded, but this is as it should be, after all, if he did something wrong, he should be punished.

What made Xiao Mu even more uncomfortable was that he didn't expect the old man to be so good to him, and he took back the only meat dishes in the family for himself.

Although this is just a normal and small thing, it is not a small matter in this family.

I couldn't help but look back at the adobe house behind me, and I couldn't tell what it was like.

adjusted his mood and went straight to Xu Hui's house.

As soon as he entered the door, he was stopped by Grandpa Xu Hui, "Xiao Mu, do you want to pay money?"

Presumably Xu Hui also told his grandfather, it's better to say it in advance, otherwise it will be over.

He replied calmly: "Yes, grandpa, we have to pay fifty yuan this week, which is the fee for the test paper and the summer vacation homework." ”

"Oh"

Grandpa Xu Hui replied coldly.

It seems that no matter who it is, when it comes to money, it is very strict, and it is not opportunistic.

Xu Hui glanced at Xiao Mu and smiled slightly.

Xiao Mu behaved seriously and didn't dare to have anything abnormal.

Xu Hui's grandfather took the money for Xu Hui, and the two went out of the house with their shoulders around their shoulders.

But Xu Hui's backpack is empty, and it doesn't look like he's carrying rice at all, isn't this scientific, shouldn't the backpack with rice on his back be drummed? How could it be so flat.

So Xiao Mu asked: "Hey, Xu Hui, you said that you wanted to bring rice back, why didn't you carry it." ”

Suddenly, Xu Hui laughed wildly, "I'm not that stupid, if I swagger out with rice on my back, then I won't be caught by my grandfather, I have to be smarter." ”

Clever, how smart? Xiao Mu didn't understand.

"I'll tell you honestly, I stole the rice when I was cooking yesterday, and I put it in the bamboo forest at the intersection, and I'll go and get it with me later!"

Xu Hui really had a set, and he actually took it out in advance.

"Then aren't you afraid of being found out and taken away by others?"

"Hey, it's impossible, who has nothing to do with the bamboo forest, and I covered it with bamboo leaves. ”

Immediately, Xu Hui took Xiao Mu to the place where the rice was hidden.

There are no obvious traces, it looks like no one has been here for a long time, and the bamboo leaves are also very thick.

He looked around to see if there was anyone and jumped off when he was sure there was no one.

Seeing that, Xu Hui opened the bamboo leaves and proposed a bag, which was very tightly wrapped, which could be described as three layers inside and three layers outside.

"You actually take so much, your grandfather won't they notice?"

Xu Hui wasn't sure if he would be discovered, but at this point, there was no way back, so he could only go on.

"I don't know, but I've done it all, and I'll be scolded anyway, so let's take it back first. ”

"By the way, what about you? Are you enough, if not, I'll see how many there are here, see if there's any superfluous, and if so, I'll give you some points." ”

"I honestly told my family that I didn't have enough five yuan, and then my grandfather gave it to me, it's fine. ”

"You won't tell your family that you only have to pay thirty-five yuan, right?"

Xu Hui was obviously frightened by Xiao Mu, if that was the case, it would not be over.

"No, I'm talking about fifty yuan, how dare I say that I only pay thirty-five yuan. ”

Xu Hui's bag was very heavy, and the two of them changed their backs along the way, and they took a break after walking a few kilometers, and this was done repeatedly, and it was no longer more than five o'clock when they arrived at school, but fortunately, they didn't have to take the first self-study class on Sunday, and they could rest for a while.

The two went to the cafeteria first, and when the canteen owner saw the two, he laughed and said, "Yo ho ho, Xu Hui, Zhang Xiaomu, you two are here, and after waiting for the two of you for a day, I thought you wouldn't come back." ”

Of course, this is just a joke of the boss, and the boss knows in his heart that it is impossible not to come back.

Xiao Mu paid off his account first, and then the boss weighed Xu Hui rice.

"Yo, Xu Hui, you can't steal it with such rice!"

Whether this boss was serious or joking, he actually broke it down, which made Xu Hui at a loss.

"Boss, how is this possible, it's because the family has no money, so I let the rice be used as collateral, otherwise I don't want to bring the rice back." ”

Xu Hui also hurriedly coped and said, "Yes, yes, that's it." ”

I don't know if the boss believes it or not, but Xiao Mu did relieve Xu Hui at that time.
