Chapter 196: Losing money
"Zhao Qingyu, what are you eating?" Ruan Ling said in a very familiar tone, as if their relationship had been "restored to the same as before".
"Noodles."
Zhao Qingyu's answer was simply shocked, and he said in his heart that this question was not nonsense.
"Amer, let's eat the same as her." Ruan Ling suddenly opened her mouth and shouted that Xia Zimo was very intimate.
Xia Zimo was slightly stunned, hesitated for a few seconds before nodding: "That's good......"
"Mom! I finished eating and left. β
Zhao Qingyu turned around and put the bowl on the stool next to him, and left without looking back.
Ruan Ling and Xia Zimo couldn't react, and they didn't look at each other until Zhao Qingyu walked far away.
"Did you message her yesterday?" Xia Zimo hesitated.
Ruan Ling looked puzzled: "Yes, but she didn't reply." β
She wanted to say something more, but Xiao Dan, who was busy in the house, saw them and greeted them at the top of her voice: "Two handsome guys and beauties outside!" What do you want to eat! β
β¦β¦
Zhao Qingyu buried his head and walked quickly all the way to the school, this time period was still early, and many dormitory students hurried to the school cafeteria and outside the school blindfolded.
After passing through the cafeteria, her pace slowed slightly.
When she heard Ruan Ling's "Amer" just now, she remembered the scene when she bumped into the two of them in her previous life, and her brain buzzed, as if something was almost about to jump out of it.
The cool breeze of the morning breeze across her forehead calmed her down.
She walked slowly forward, regretting that she had walked too quickly and had not brought the water glass with her.
She turned a corner in front of the Shaw Building, went to the commissary to buy a bottle of mineral water, and met Cao Sheng, the head teacher who helped his wife collect money.
The head teacher called her name, and the proprietress of the commissary looked at Zhao Qingyu and said in surprise: "Ouch, this girl turned out to be Zhao Qingyu in your class, she often comes to me to buy things." β
Cao Sheng was very proud: "The noodle restaurant opposite the school is her family, and I don't need money every time I go to eat noodles." β
The proprietress patted Cao Sheng's shoulder a little embarrassed: "Don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, how can you not give money for dinner, and you won't be ashamed." β
Cao Sheng was a little speechless, obviously every time she brought noodles back to his wife to eat, she was also very happy.
Of course, Zhao Qingyu knew what the proprietress was embarrassed about, so she just laughed and said a few nice words to help ease the atmosphere, and the proprietress was happy, not only did she not need money for mineral water, but she also had to give her two sandwich breads.
This can be in vain either.
Of course not!
Zhao Qingyu, who has lived for more than 30 years, has no less experience than ordinary people, and she knows everything about her words, saying thank you, but in fact, she directly dropped the mineral water and bread money and ran away.
This made Cao Sheng and his wife very happy, but they didn't expect this little learning expert in their class to be so sensible, and there were many students around, who made money and gave enough face.
"Wife, what are you eating today?" Cao Sheng picked up a large earthy yellow enamel soup bowl from the cabinet in the back and asked Xizizi.
"The same old way." The proprietress said, and suddenly said, "Oh, you must remember to give money to others this time." β
Cao Sheng laughed twice and swaggered out of the commissary.
β¦β¦
Zhao Qingyu would stay in the store for a while longer after eating breakfast on weekdays, sit and drink some hot water or something, and wait for Zhang Yan or Wang Yanli to call her before leaving together.
Today I met those two unkind guests, she hurried away without even finishing the noodles, and now she is in the classroom, plus she has not ten people.
That's fine, she took out the language book, twisted the cap of the bottle, took a sip of mineral water, and then began to endorse the book.
She has to memorize these familiar classical Chinese, poems and songs, including annotations.
Fortunately, her memory has always been good, and now it seems to be better, and she can memorize two or three classical Chinese essays in an early self-study.
In addition, she will study at home, and now she has almost previewed the Chinese language books in the first semester of her sophomore year in advance.
The daily self-study of Chinese in the morning is just to consolidate the things that I know again.
The classroom was quiet, everyone was reading, and although most of them were not at the top of their studies, they were also very hardworking.
Occasionally, someone came over and whispered some questions to Zhao Qingyu, and she would answer them patiently.
For high school students, time is of the essence in the morning.
Within ten minutes, there were more people in the classroom, most of whom were packed for breakfast and studied while eating.
Zhang Xue came with Yu Yuanyuan, and both of them were holding a special snack in the school cafeteria - spicy lasagna.
"Ah, are you here so early today?"
As soon as Zhang Xue came in, she noticed that Zhao Qingyu was looking down at a book, and after sitting down, she took the initiative to ask softly.
"Well, you're pretty early, too." Zhao Qingyu said while bowing his head to sort out his notes.
Zhang Xue didn't say anything more, but also took out the language book, and took a bite of the mille-feuille by the way.
After a while, seeing that there were more and more people in the classroom, Zhang Xue took out twenty yuan and put it in front of Zhao Qingyu.
Zhao Qingyu was reading and writing silently, when he suddenly saw two crumpled ten yuan sheets on the book, and he was a little puzzled for a while.
"You're ......"
"It's for Yu Yuanyuan." Zhang Xue said in a low voice.
Zhao Qingyu suddenly understood, took the money with an indifferent face, and nodded: "Okay, I know." β
Zhang Xue's eyes widened in surprise, and after waiting for a while, she saw Zhao Qingyu continuing to read and take notes, pursed her lips, and turned her head to look at the left front, Yu Yuanyuan also turned her head sneakily to look at her.
The two met eye contact, exchanging messages with each other.
Yu Yuanyuan kept squeezing her eyebrows, Zhang Xue shook her head, and the former suddenly froze.
Zhao Qingyu glanced at it without a trace, and his eyes flashed.
Yu Yuanyuan deliberately asked Zhang Xue to help her repay the money, didn't she think she would be embarrassed to accept it.
Judging from the disappointed expression on her face, it was she who let her down.
Zhao Qingyu thought it was a little funny, sure enough, children are still naΓ―ve, even if they are bad children with bad minds.
Since Xiaoshan came, Zhao's mother asked her not to help in the store, and went home directly after school to read her homework, or take a short lunch break, and when the meal was almost ready, she called her sister and brother in advance.
Zhao Qingfeng is in the first year of junior high school, and his studies are naturally heavier than when he was in elementary school, and he will take his homework home at noon, and if he can't, he will ask his sister Zhao Qingyu.
In the past, Zhao Qingfeng did not study at night in elementary school, and when he arrived in junior high school, he could not go back until half past eight in the evening.
On this day, Zhao Qingyu returned home and wrote her homework first, Zhao Qingfeng came back a little later than her, and she didn't have as much homework as her, and the two finished their homework almost at the same time.
It was still early after writing, Zhao Qingyu set the alarm clock for half an hour, and then lay down and squinted for a while, ready to take a nap.
Zhao Qingfeng is playing with the game console, in order not to disturb his sister, he now turns off the sound to the minimum every time he plays a game.
If people have something on their minds, they will be alert at any time when they sleep.
Although Zhao Qingyu set the alarm clock, every time he woke up, it was still a few minutes away from the specified time.
However, this short lunch break can also relieve some of her fatigue in the morning.
She had already read Ruan Ling's message, and it was nothing more than some painless apologies.
She didn't pay attention to it, but she patiently replied, and showed that she had "forgiven" them in a short sentence or two.
Ruan Ling thought that the relationship was easing, so she wanted to ask her out to eat, but she quit because she was busy with study.
This reason made Ruan Ling speechless, and in the next few monthly exams, Zhao Qingyu was among the best.
After being rejected a few times, Ruan Ling stopped calling her, but every time they met at school, the two would nod and say hello falsely.
As for Ruan Lingji's family's dream of finding a rich son-in-law, it was completely shattered.
Since that incident, Wang Hao and Ruan Ling have basically been strangers at school, even if they pass by, they don't look at each other squarely.
Not only that, but even at home, Ruan Ling used to be the most favored one, but now life is a little unpleasant.
Zhao Qingyu doesn't know this, she's in her second year of high school, and she will go to study art next semester, and there will be a lot less part of the cultural class before the art exam, so she must make up for the future now.
The house in L Town is also in full swing, and every weekend Zhao's father will take the opportunity to go over to check the progress, and usually Zhao's father's old classmates in L Town help to take a look.
The days passed so peacefully, and Gu Li, the number one student in the school, was still absent from class and playing games every day.
Every time he took the monthly exam, he would be in the same classroom as Zhao Qingyu, at the front and back desks.
Gu Li would stick to Zhao Qingyu and talk to her.
Zhao Qingyu entertained him on the surface, but in fact, he was a little annoyed in his heart, but fortunately, except for the exam, the two did not have much contact time in other periods.
Gu Li would occasionally come to her, but she slipped away under various excuses.
The last final exam of the first semester of the second year of high school was also the first place in the school was occupied by Gu Li, and the second place was Zhao Qingyu.
There is no need to help at home, Zhao Qingyu has a lot more time to study.
But she had almost no other time for recreation.
After the exam, Zhao Qingyu wore a dark purple padded jacket and walked on the way out of school, the winter sun shone a little warmer on her body, just as relaxed and comfortable as her mood.
After this exam, they will take two days off and then go back to school to make up for their lessons.
It will take about a week to make up for the official winter vacation.
On the rough concrete floor, her shadow was stretched long, and the ponytail behind her head swayed as she walked.
It's so busy, she hasn't had a haircut in a long time.
I used to have the same short hair as a boy, but now it grows to the shoulder blades, and if I don't tie it up, it will be a little fluttering.
Long fluttering hair is beautiful but inconvenient.
Zhao Qingyu decided to go to the old place early tomorrow morning to get a haircut, there is no hair dryer at home, and it is troublesome and cold to wash hair in winter.
Out of the school gate, there were many students standing at the door of Xinglong Noodle Restaurant, and after everyone finished the exam, some people came to eat something.
But most of them are still waiting for the bus with their luggage, chatting and laughing with their classmates and friends.
Zhang Yan said that she was going to help Tang Dazhuang sort out her things, but she didn't come out with her.
Not to mention Wang Yanli, Wang Lei now trains on the sports field every morning, noon and evening, and she will also take this opportunity to play on the table tennis table next to her.
Since the shift was divided, the intersection between the two has slowly decreased over time.
Obviously, there was no such thing in the previous life, Zhao Qingyu was a little sad when he thought about it.
Fortunately, Wang Yanli didn't seem to know what happened between her and Wang Lei, and simply thought that Wang Lei was estranged from her because of that preaching outside the classroom.
Even Wang Yanli said to Zhao Qingyu several times not to mind what Wang Lei did, which made the latter a little speechless.
Although the relationship is not as close as it used to be, at least it is still good.
Zhao Qingyu thought lightly, then looked left and right at the road, and after noticing that there was no car, he walked quickly towards the opposite side.
Xiaodan can now be on his own, and it is no problem to round his arm and shake the pot with one hand.
She likes to work in the noodle shop, which is full of young and energetic high school students, who don't have to face the loess with their backs to the sky, although they are a little tired, but the salary given by Zhao's father and Zhao's mother is quite authentic.
A salary of 600 a month, except for regular employees of state-owned enterprises, people like Xiaodan who have not studied in primary school are basically impossible.
When the seasons change, Zhao's mother will also specially buy a set of seasonal clothes and shoes for Xiaodan, and the small bamboo bed at home is also covered with thick cotton wool.
Zhao Qingfeng likes to read comics, and after Xiaodan goes home every day, in addition to watching TV, he also takes the comic books that Zhao Qingfeng didn't read at home.
She didn't know many words, but she read the content of the comics with a lot of taste.
Even sometimes, she will play games with Zhao Qingfeng.
Of course, there is not much time like this, Xiaodan has to go out with Zhao's father and Zhao's mother very early every morning, and he has to rest very early if he doesn't play for long at night.
Zhao Qingyu went back today, Zhao's mother thought that the child was tired for a semester, and only after the exam, so she wanted the children to go out to the supermarket with Xiaodan, and buy some fruit snacks or something by the way.
Growing up in a town where there really isn't much to wander around except for supermarkets and the newly opened pedestrian streets.
Thinking that Li Feiyu had been abroad for so long, and it was estimated that no one knew her there, Zhao Qingyu was also a little itchy in her heart, and wanted to buy something, so she agreed.
Because it was winter, it was dark early, so Zhao's father and Zhao's mother asked them to go early, anyway, there were not many people in the store, and the two of them were busy.
So the three young men walked easily towards the center of the town.
Since Xiaoshan helped in the store, he has been working diligently from morning to night, and he has hardly gone out to shop.
Today is the first time, and her mood is very happy just from the momentum of her walking with the wind.
Zhao Qingfeng whispered to Zhao Qingyu: "Sister, why is Sister Xiaoshan so fast, this doesn't seem to be shopping, it's a market." β
Zhao Qingyu knocked on his skull funny, telling him not to talk nonsense.
"What's the catch, the eldest sister said, let's go and go back quickly, it's dark in winter." Xiao Shan heard it, turned his head and explained eloquently.
"Okay, okay, follow up right away."
Zhao Qingyu dragged Zhao Qingfeng to follow quickly.
β¦β¦
The largest supermarket in W Town, which has been open for a year and a half, is still the liveliest place in town.
Although in more than ten years, there will be several more large supermarkets of the same size in W Town, but this Xinhua supermarket still dominates.
The perfect location is its antenna condition.
At the crossroads of the liveliest pedestrian street in town, there is nowhere else to surpass it.
Zhao Qingyu and the three of them walked to the supermarket with the tide of people coming and going, and the gate was blocked by a transparent thick heat insulation curtain, but it was useless, there was an endless stream of guests coming in and out, and the curtain was lifted almost all the time.
