58. Chapter 58
The car driven by Chen's mother is half-new and not old, and it is a second-hand car that Lan Yue replaced. The Chen family just bought a house, and the decoration cost more than 100,000 yuan, and there are not many funds on the account, but it is enough to buy a new car, but it is risky to do business, so you still have to keep some money on the account for backup, in case the Taobao store loses money, it will not be lost. So it's impossible to buy a new car, it just so happens that Lan Yue has a car in her name, which was transferred to her by Gu An after the divorce, Lan Yue accepted the car generously with the concept of not wanting it. However, since opening a Taobao store in a joint venture with Chen's father and Chen's mother, Lan Yue has not often gone out, and the car is still occupying space, and he heard that Chen's father wants to buy a second-hand car, so he sold the car to Chen's father without saying a word.
Two months ago, Chen's father and Chen's mother took the driving school exam, and this was the first time that Chen's mother drove on the road alone. Chen Lan was a little uneasy, got into the passenger seat, fastened her seat belt without being reminded by Chen's mother, and repeatedly advised: "Mom, let's not rush back, it's okay to drive slowly." â
Mother Chen glanced at her, "I also educated your mother." â
Chen Lan smiled "hehe", "I don't want you to pay attention to safety!" â
Chen's mother didn't bother to pay attention, started the car, and drove for more than ten meters, Chen Lan suddenly shouted: "Stop first, I see Jiajia." â
Chen Lan rolled down the window, his hands expanded into a horn shape, and shouted: "Jiajia! â
At the school gate, Zhang Jiajia looked over, and Zhang's mother beside her glanced at her and said, "Isn't that your classmate?" â
"Hmm." Zhang Jiajia's expression was still cold and indifferent.
Thinking of what happened just now, Zhang's mother turned pale.
Seeing that Zhang Jiajia didn't mean to come, he waved his hand and said, "Jiajia, get in the car!" â
It takes 6 yuan to take a ride from the city's No. 1 Middle School to the old city, and the two of them have 12 yuan, Zhang's mother immediately pulled Zhang Jiajia's arm, and walked over quickly, "It's really troublesome for you." â
Zhang Jiajia took a deep breath, sat in the back seat, barely squeezed out a smile, and pretended to be relaxed: "Aunt Chen, Lanlan." â
Chen's mother has long understood Zhang Jiajia's family situation, and her impression of Zhang's mother can be described as bad, cowardly and ignorant, but it is a pity that those two children, what kind of sin was bad in their previous life, so that they would have such a pair of parents.
Chen's mother can only help Zhang Jiajia financially, Zhang Jiajia is a good child, she has survived this hurdle, and her future is bright.
Zhang's mother didn't know the source of Zhang Jiajia's tuition and living expenses, and completely believed Zhang Jiajia's explanation. I don't want to think that Zhang Jiajia is still a minor high school student, it is not easy to find a suitable part-time job, and I am afraid that I can't even pay the tuition fee with the little money I earn during the winter and summer vacations, let alone thousands of yuan in living expenses for a semester.
Chen Lan can only say that Zhang's mother is really hypocritical.
"Aunt Chen, my mother and I still need to buy something, let's just get off at the intersection in front." Zhang Jiajia said.
Seeing Zhang Jiajia's resolute expression, Chen's mother understood the reason why Jiajia did this, the Chen family and the old city are one south and one north, if you send Jiajia's mother and daughter back, you will delay their time, Jiajia is a strong one, and she is definitely not willing to trouble them, just the bus stop is not far in front, Chen's mother will no longer persuade her.
Zhang's mother's face was pale, Zhang Jiajia had already spoken her words, and Zhang's mother was embarrassed to change her words.
After getting off the bus, Zhang's mother hated the iron and said: "You dead girl, if you have a free car for you to sit on, you will not take it, and you will waste two yuan to take the bus." â
Zhang Jiajia sneered, "I'm not so cheeky and troublesome people specially send us to the door." â
Zhang's mother was annoyed by what she said, "I'm not doing this to save money, you and Xiaoliang's tuition, monthly food money, rent, water and electricity bills, which one doesn't need money......
Zhang Jiajia was impatient to listen to this, and directly interrupted Chen's mother's words, "And the money for him to buy wine, right, you will beat me up on the idea of a poverty grant, right?" â
Zhang Jiajia did not hide her application for the poverty grant from Zhang's mother, because some of the materials to be handed in had to be signed by Zhang's mother. What Zhang Jiajia didn't expect, after the parent-teacher meeting in the afternoon, Zhang's mother found the head teacher and asked her when the bursary would be issued.
Zhang Jiajia's face turned blue in an instant.
Zhang's father has not gone to work since he was laid off, and he eats and drinks every day with Zhang's mother's money. Zhang's mother washes dishes in a small restaurant, only 1,000 yuan a month, and after paying the rent and utility bills, the rest is barely enough for a month's food money. The money for buying wine and drinking for Zhang's father was still cut off from the money for buying vegetables, and almost every meal was green vegetables and turnips, and even the meat foam was missing. Zhang's father lost his temper because of this, overturned the table, beat Zhang's mother violently, and threatened: If he didn't give him money to buy wine, he would kill the three of them.
Zhang Jiajia is rarely at home and does not know about it. Zhang's mother was used to patience, and she forgot to cry once, so naturally she would not cry to Zhang Jiajia. The family really couldn't come up with the money, and Zhang's mother really had no choice but to think about borrowing a bursary, but she didn't expect Zhang Jiajia's reaction to be so violent, which made Zhang's mother anxious.
Recalling that Zhang's father beat her after being drunk, Zhang's mother's eyes flashed with fear, and seeing Zhang Jiajia's refusal to help the family, Chen's mother was dissatisfied, "Why are you so ignorant!" The family is so poor that they can't even open the pot, you want to watch us starve to death, right? â
Zhang Jiajia was exhausted and endured her anger and said, "This is my tuition for the next semester!" After the second year of high school, I had to make up classes during the winter and summer vacations, and I didn't have time to work again, so I couldn't move the money. â
What else did Zhang's mother want to say, Zhang Jiajia looked at her coldly, her dark eyes seemed to be a bottomless cold pool, and Zhang's mother shivered.
"I'm tired right now and don't want to talk." Zhang Jiajia was tired of dealing with Zhang's mother, rubbed her temples, closed her eyes, and leaned against the car window in silence.
On Saturday, Chen Lan got up early in the morning, accustomed to the school schedule, and couldn't sleep if she wanted to go back to sleep. So I got up early, turned on the TV series, and watched the morning news.
Chen's mother heard the sound in the living room and got up.
"Why don't you sleep a little more?" Mother Chen asked.
Chen Lan took a sip of milk, "I'm hungry and can't sleep." â
Mother Chen rolled up her sleeves, flipped through the refrigerator, and saw that the little chaos wrapped yesterday hadn't finished eating, and said, "Chaos noodles." â
Chen Lan, who opened his mouth and waited for food, had no opinion.
As soon as the chaotic noodles were ready, Father Chen got up with a smell, "It's so fragrant, Ah Qing, serve me a bowl, I'll brush my teeth first, soon." â
The family of three finished breakfast, sat and watched TV, and at about 9 o'clock, Chen's father and Chen's mother went out to the studio.
Chen Lan originally wanted to follow, but this week's update has not been coded, and he has to go to the store in the afternoon, so he has no time to code, so he has to give up, but unfortunately he can't eat the small dessert made by Sister Zheng, and his heart is congested. ââŽīšââŽ
After the two chapters were updated, I was bored, and I poked the editing moonfall on the buckle.
The editor doesn't go to work on weekends, and the avatar of the moon fall is gray at this time, but according to Chen Lan's understanding of her for so many years, the moon fall should be invisible online at this time.
Sure enough, after waiting for a few minutes, the cute rabbit head jumped in a flash.
Moonset: Good morning, dear. (ãĨīŋŖ3īŋŖ)ãĨ
The next second, warm spring turns into cold winter.
Moonset: This week's update code?! Still have time to surf the internet?! Hurry up and give me the code word, or the little leather whip will serve!!
Deep Blue: Huh, people get up early in the morning to code words, and finally finish two chapters before they dare to come up to you to play, but you are so kind to others. My heart is broken by you, huh......
Moonset: [Touching the head] It's the mourning family who misunderstood the concubine, and when the concubine comes to the capital, the mourning family invites you to go to NOBU to rub it, how about apologizing?
Deep Blue: Thank you, Lord Longne! [I want to hug my thighs]
Navy: The one who repents is a puppy.
The per capita consumption is at least four figures, even when Chen Lan was not strapped for money in his previous life, Chen Lan has never been to NOBU, not because he is reluctant to spend money, but because there is no NOBU in City A, he can't fly over to eat a meal.
In the college entrance examination two years later, Chen Lan is likely to be admitted to a university in the capital, and when the time comes, he must be ruthless.
Chen Lan made a happy decision in her heart.
After more than a month of continuous rain in the south in June, it finally improved last week. The weather in City A also began to be sultry, the afternoon sun was hot, and the girls who went out opened their umbrellas, and a pair of smooth and white long legs swayed under the umbrella, teasing the hearts of young men.
Chen Lan wore a light blue sportswear and went out with a schoolbag on her back.
It is far from home to the clothing store, and there is a bus stop at the entrance of the community, but you have to transfer to get to the commercial area, which is very troublesome.
After waiting for twenty minutes for a bus to come, Chen Lan was powerless to complain.
Alas! When will the subway be opened? Metro Line 5 passes through here, and the exit is just at the entrance of the community, and Chen Lan is counting on when it will be opened.
After getting off the bus and then turning to Line 123, after three or four stops, I saw the signboard of the women's clothing store, Sarah's women's clothing store.
The shopping guide at the door saw Chen Lan and greeted: "Xiaolan is here, it's hot outside, come in, there is air conditioning inside." â
Chen Lan glanced inside, didn't see his mother, and asked, "Where is my mother?" â
"The proprietress just went out shopping with a friend, and said that if you came, you would wait in the store, and Xiaoding came over soon." The shopping guide repeated Chen's mother's words.
"I see, you get busy first." Chen Lan waved his hand and walked to the cash register.
The cash register is very spacious, with a few small stools and a small folding table that is usually used for eating.
Chen Lan moved the small table over and opened it, took out a few math test papers from his schoolbag, and worked on the questions seriously.
Halfway through, as soon as the light dimmed, Chen Lan raised his head and met Ding Yuan's delicate chin.
Chen Lan couldn't appreciate the beauty's chin, and hurriedly said: "How to solve this problem, I can't figure out the answer to it, it's obvious that the formula is right, it's very strange." Chen Lan furrowed her brows, puzzled.
"I'll see." Ding Yuan leaned down, his chin almost resting on the top of Chen Lan's head, and a faint scent of shampoo came to his nose.
Ding Yuan was in a trance for a moment, quickly came back to his senses, and focused on the question.
After studying for less than a minute, Ding Yuan concluded: "There is a problem with this question. Ding Yuan took out a ballpoint pen from Chen Lan's palm and changed a few numbers on the test paper, "Do it again." â
Chen Lan: You're a cow.
According to the train of thought just now, Chen Lan quickly figured out the answer, and Mei Zizi said: "There is really a problem with the question, I said how could I not figure out the answer." â
"Eat cake? My mom did it. Ding Yuan shook the bag in his hand.
Chen Lan's eyes lit up, "Eat." â
Ding Yuan opened the carton and there were two palm-sized fruit cakes inside. The cake is garnished with two cherries and topped with a layer of cream and a sprinkle of chocolate chips. The small cake exuded a sweet taste, and before she could eat it, Chen Lan was already intoxicated.
Chen Lan couldn't wait to dig a spoonful of cake and put it in his mouth, and the cold cream melted at once, it was so delicious, woo woo~
Ding Yuan and Chen Lan sat side by side on a small stool, and the two of them ate cake in almost the same way, like two cute little hamsters, sitting in rows and eating fruits. amused Chen's mother and Ding's mother, who had just come in.
