Chapter 167: Money, life-saving money
Cheng Jiangshui turned his head and hurried back home, and then started another day of care.
When he just wanted to turn over his mother and massage his back, he found that there was a stack of money under his mother's pillow, which made Cheng Jiangshui stunned on the spot.
Needless to say, this must have been secretly stuffed under the pillow by Du Wanling!
She may have some scruples, if she takes it out in person, according to Cheng Jia'an's temperament, she will not accept it.
Being poor does not mean absolute greed for money. The colorful things really let too many people see the coldness of human nature.
In the years of the group, He Yi'an was kept at home, and Du Wanling gave money again and again, whether it was living expenses or hard money. The first few times Li Xiulan was able to accept it patiently, but the rest of them were all pushed back.
Why? Short of money?
It is indeed lacking, but it is not this kind of money that is missing.
If you collect too much money, your feelings will be skewered, become exchanged, and become vulgar, and you can't raise He Yi'an, who attaches importance to filial piety, under such emotions.
The Cheng family's concept of getting rich, in addition to the gentleman's love of money and the right way, can actually be summed up in one word: province!
Later, there was an objection to it: money is not saved.
Maybe!
But in those embarrassing years, this is a demagogic!
What family doesn't rely on a provincial character to run a family? This has been passed down for many generations, and the Cheng family has always adhered to this concept. Whether it is searching between the fingers or being frugal between the teeth, this is a precious quality forced out of a poor life.
Even if a huge sum of money falls from the sky, they can have no worries about food and clothing from now on, they will still break a dollar in half and spend it!
In other words, this quality, or habits, is engraved into the bone marrow.
Now Cheng Jiangshui is in charge of the accounts, and she knows that money is the most important thing for the current predicament.
It is no exaggeration to say that without money, there is no mother's life!
At this time, it would be too hypocritical and unrealistic to push back and obstruct the gentleman's style. It is estimated that Du Wanling also thought twice about it, so she did this.
Then Cheng Jiangshui sighed secretly, took out his private notebook, and wrote down the amount of money on it...... The essentials of love, the money must be returned, and it is unacceptable to pretend to be confused, this is to be a man!
That night, taking advantage of the season when his father helped with massage, Cheng Jiangshui told Cheng Jia'an about the money on the side.
"Dad, Aunt Wanling put three thousand yuan under Mom's pillow."
Cheng Jia'an instantly stopped the movements under his hands, three thousand!
In this year, I am afraid it is also Du Wanling's entire family background. For this family in distress, it is an astronomical amount of money, and it is a timely rain.
If you want to put it on hold as usual, of course Cheng Jia'an can't ask for it and doesn't dare to ask for it. But the reality is cruel, he is not a child of the Eight Banners who slaps a swollen face and fills a fat man, he obviously eats bran and eats vegetables, and he has to take the pigskin and smear oil on his lips, pretending to be rich and noble.
At the moment, a good-looking face is the most important thing.
He was stunned for a moment, then sighed, and said faintly: "Hey, she is afraid that we will not be able to get over our faces, and your Aunt Wanling is thoughtful in doing things." ”
"What about the money?" Cheng Jiangshui hesitated.
The Cheng family settled down and decided: "Let's take it first, make a note of it, and when the days are a little easier, I have to find a way to return it to Aunt Wanling!" ”
Cheng Jiangshui nodded, and responded crisply: "Well, I think so too, I've written it down!" ”
"That's good, that's good!" Cheng Jia'an nodded wistfully and stopped talking.
Cheng Jiangshui glanced at his father, tiptoed to Cheng Jianghai's house, and watched Cheng Jianghai studying seriously through the gap in the hidden door, feeling a little comforted in his heart.
After that conversation, it seems that the little brother's gloomy heart knot has been slightly untied, and he is no longer trapped in the world of his regret like a zombie, to wither himself. Although his temperament has become a little eccentric since then, at least it has developed in the direction that Cheng Jiangshui expects, and this is enough.
Just when Cheng Jiangshui was leaning against the door and was relieved, there was a slight knock on the outer door. Cheng Jiangshui stepped forward to open the door in surprise. Revealing Jiang Yanmei's mysterious face, she didn't speak, just waved her fingers lightly, signaling Cheng Jiangshui to go out.
Cheng Jiangshui closed the door suspiciously, and followed Jiang Yanmei to the corner of the corridor. Looking at Cheng Jiangshui's dignified and beautiful face with a hint of doubt, Jiang Yanmei showed a little depression.
"Jiang Shui, what you asked me to inquire about is a bit eyebrow-raising."
"Really!" Cheng Jiangshui was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly thanked him happily: "Thank you, Aunt Jiang." ”
But at this time, Jiang Yanmei didn't have Cheng Jiangshui's joy, but her face became embarrassed: "Don't be in a hurry to thank me first, I'm worried that you are too wronged by a girl's family!" ”
Cheng Jiangshui blinked his starry eyes and said hesitantly: "Uh, what kind of work?" Is it troublesome? ”
"It's not troublesome...... Jiang Yanmei paused, blushed embarrassedly, and stumbled: "Hey, it's just washing bottles for others!" ”
"Wash the bottle?" Cheng Jiangshui was a little confused.
Jiang Yanmei pursed her lips and explained stupidly: "Aren't you looking for a temporary worker nearby, there is a winery next door to our family courtyard." The wine bottles they recycle, wash them for 3 points, pay by the piece, and dry them for 2 hours a day, and you can go whenever you want! You see......"
No wonder Jiang Yanmei is so entangled!
She knows that washing bottles is not a decent job, dirty, messy, tired, almost not to mention, and even a little lowly. This is a fresh and elegant professional woman like Cheng Jiangshui, who is completely wasteful and wasteful.
Unexpectedly, when Cheng Jiangshui heard the news, he was overjoyed, her soft and pretty face was flushed, and she said happily: "This is great, it's so close, it's convenient for me to come back and take care of my mother, and the time can be controlled by myself, there's nothing better than this!" ”
Jiang Yanmei twitched the corners of her mouth, feeling that she had not explained the key to the problem clearly, and muttered for a long time before reminding: "You have to think clearly, in fact, this job is dirty and tiring, and there is not much money!" ”
"It's okay! As long as I don't delay taking care of my mother, anything will do! Cheng Jiangshui had an indifferent expression.
After examining it again for a while, she felt that Cheng Jiangshui really wanted to accept the job, so Jiang Yanmei nodded and agreed: "Well, okay, I'll go to work later tomorrow morning and take you to have a look?" ”
"Thank you, Aunt Jiang!"
Jiang Yanmei's eyebrows showed a hint of shame: "Hey, no thanks!" If I can help a little, I feel better, so it's decided! ”
Waiting for Jiang Yanmei to leave, Cheng Jiangshui blinked, raised his fingers, and secretly calculated: "A 3 points, if you can wash two or three hundred a day, you will have a look of two hundred in a month......"
In this way, the feedback is indeed a bit tempting, but I'm afraid it's Cheng Jiangshui's wishful thinking! Washing bottles is as easy as imagined, and I don't have a mechanical arm. Just relying on a weak physique, how can you complete two or three hundred tasks in two hours? Even if you try your best, it is already very efficient to be able to make forty or fifty in a short period of time.
Then again, this job is really "tailor-made" for the current Cheng Jiangshui.
The distillery is right next door, just a wall away from the family home.
In addition to taking care of the mother, it does not take too much time, and it can increase an additional income, which is really important for the whole family that is stretched thin. It's just a little more tired and harder.
I'm already tired of this, what's the difference between putting some weight on my body?
