On the morning of the 20th, Jiang Tao had just arrived at the office, and Li Mei said to Jiang Tao: "Teacher Jiang, you go to the finance to get your salary, I heard that this moonlight will send your new teacher, hey, ours will have to be delayed, if there is no land at home, life will really not be able to live." Li Mei was very helpless.

When he arrived at the finance room, the principal Fei Xinquan was also there, he saw Jiang Tao enter the door, and said with a smile: "Teacher Jiang, the township takes care of the newly assigned personnel this year, and all departments give priority to the salaries of the newly assigned personnel, Xiao Zhao, you show Teacher Jiang, send him money, just work for all aspects." Xiao Zhao is the school's treasurer, and the accountant cashier shoulders it, and he took out a sheet, "Teacher Jiang, you just need to sign here." ”

Jiang Tao took it and looked at it, there were many columns on the table, including basic salary, teaching experience, attendance, etc., so he didn't look at it carefully, and signed the table very happily.

"Teacher Jiang, why don't you take a closer look." Xiao Zhao was very surprised, Jiang Tao's performance was very different from other teachers, many people not only watched carefully, but also asked a lot of detailed questions.

"Hehe, can you still make your colleagues suffer?"

Fei Xinquan and Xiao Zhao nodded in unison, it seems that this Teacher Jiang is an informal person.

"Mr. Jiang, plus the reissued half a month in July, you have a total of 1768.45 yuan, I have put it in an envelope for you, you can order it, but next month may not be so timely, hehe, you had better be mentally prepared, save some use, don't run out of money to spend at the beginning of the month." Xiao Zhao enthusiastically reminded.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for your concern, no need to order. Principal Fei, I'm going to prepare for class, you can get busy. After speaking, Jiang Tao walked out of the financial room.

Jiang Tao was very excited when he saw so much money belonging to him for the first time, but he thought that there were still many things to do, and he was afraid that the money would not be used next month. If you want to buy medicine for your mother, a cigarette for your father, and a gift for Yingying, you must at least invite Zhang Jianxin and the teachers in this group to have a meal.

Early on Saturday morning, Jiang Tao did not go home, but first went to Zhangning, where there was no place to buy decent gifts in the poor place of Xinzhai. At 10 o'clock, Jiang Tao entered the city, he first went to the pharmacy, bought plasters for his mother, and then went to the department store to choose a gift for Yingying. In front of the dazzling array of goods, Jiang Tao was worried, he didn't know what to buy. For the girl's preferences, Jiang Tao is really blank. In college, there are many girls chasing him, but he knows his family situation and doesn't want to fall in love at all, first, he is afraid of spending money, and at the same time, he is afraid of delaying other girls, and he has not dated a girl in two years. Walking to the place where women's clothes are sold, Jiang Tao saw a scarf, the color is light yellow, fluffy, very good-looking, just buy this, the wind is strong in the mountains, Yingying uses it, Jiang Tao decided in his heart, "Comrade, you give me that scarf, the light yellow one, how much?" ”

"35 yuan, do you want it? Want me to wrap it up for you? "The salesperson was very welcoming.

"Okay, please wrap it up. Thank you. Jiang Tao took the scarf out of the department store, and he didn't know if Ying Ying liked it.

"Jiang Tao, it's really you!" As soon as he walked out of the door of the building, someone patted Jiang Tao on the shoulder. Jiang Tao looked back and saw that it was his classmate Du Zhengzhong, and he was also very happy to see his classmate Jiang Tao, "It's such a coincidence, why are you also here to buy things?" ”

"What, I saw you enter the building just now, and I wasn't sure, and I was about to go in and look for it, so you came out. Did you pay your salary to buy things for your family? How many have you sent? Zhang Jianxin quipped.

"It's less than a thousand eight, what about you?" There are no worries among classmates.

"More than two thousand, why are you so little?"

"I don't know, maybe the salary in your county is high, right?" Jiang Tao didn't plan to ask carefully, just as much as people give.

"It may be that the class time subsidy of No. 1 Middle School is high, forget it, don't talk about this, it's time for dinner, I'll invite you to eat, let's find a better restaurant and have a good meal, anyway, you don't drink, eat something good." Du Zhengzhong is very enthusiastic.

"I'll invite you, in college, you didn't miss it." Jiang Tao planned to invite this meal himself.

"What, I don't know you yet, you have a lot of places to use money, I don't have any burden, it's a local tyrant, go." Du Zhengzhong knew that Jiang Tao's family was in difficulty, and he could see it from Jiang Tao's food and use in the two years of college, so he didn't help Jiang Tao.

Jiang Tao didn't insist, pushed the bicycle, and followed Du Zhengzhong to the front of the hotel called Deyuelou, "Zhengzhong, this is too high-end, right?" Jiang Tao saw that the hotel was very luxuriously decorated, and he was afraid that Du Zhengzhong would spend more money.

"Hehe, it's okay, I've been here to eat a few times, the price is not very high, the two of us can't use two hundred. Let's go, let's go in. ”

"Welcome!" The hostess pushed the door open for them.

"Shall we go to a private room?" Du Zhengzhong asked Jiang Tao.

"Forget it, I see that the hall is also very clean, just in the hall." Jiang Tao came to this kind of high-end hotel for the first time, and he didn't want to spend money in vain.

"Okay, whatever you want." Du Zhengzhong knew that Jiang Tao's temper was not insisting.

After choosing a dining table, the waiter made tea and handed over the menu, "Which gentleman ordered?" ”

Du Zhengzhong was not polite, he knew that Jiang Taoxu was the first time to enter the hotel, and he was afraid that he would be embarrassed, so he came by himself, "Let's have a sweet and sour tenderloin, stewed beef brisket with tomatoes, steamed carp, stir-fried shrimp, and a mountain mushroom soup." ”

"It's good to be simple." Jiang Tao heard Du Zhengzhong's order, knew that the price was expensive, and hurriedly stopped it.

"It's okay, we just worked, we should celebrate."

"Sir, please order some drinks and pasta, and we'll get ready."

"I don't want any wine, let's wait for pasta, you can serve us some coke."

"Okay, please wait."

The service of the hotel is in place, not for a long time, the dishes ordered by two people are all on the table, and the waiter is also concerned and says: "Please use it slowly." "Jiang Tao thought to himself, you hate it, let's order it, don't eat it, and then leave.

"Jiang Tao, you taste this soup, it tastes fresh." Du Zhengzhong scooped a spoonful of soup into Jiang Tao's bowl.

"Hey, isn't this the chicken leg mushroom (apocryphal) in our mountains, if you want to eat it during the campaign, I'll bring you some next time." Jiang Tao took a sip of soup and said.

"Do you know how much this soup costs? 58 yuan. ”

"What?" Jiang Tao almost squirted out the soup, "It's so expensive, I knew we wouldn't order this soup." ”

"If it's in a provincial capital, I'm afraid it's twice as expensive." Du Zhengzhong said with a smile. "The owner of this shop is also from the mountains, and the mushrooms are all picked by his family from the mountains, and there are no sales on the market at all, and the repeat customers in the store are all coming for this soup."

"Hehe, I have received your love, I will invite you back when I have the chance, just don't fight with me when the time comes."

"Hey, do you remember Wei Hongli? It's the beautiful woman we reported to work with. Du Zhengzhong asked.

"A little impressed, what's wrong?"

"I heard that she got along with the director of our education committee, and now she follows the director of the education committee wherever he goes." Du Zhengzhong looked around and whispered.

"Things I haven't seen, it's better not to talk nonsense, besides, everyone walks a different path, I'll buy a cigarette for my dad in a while, let's eat it." Jiang Tao was reluctant to talk about such a boring topic.

In less than half an hour, the two of them went out after checking out, Jiang Tao and Du Zhengzhong broke up, and found a tobacco and alcohol wholesale department to buy two Hardmen for Dad, which is also the best cigarette Dad smoked.

In the evening, Jiang Tao returned home sweaty.
