Chapter 24: Chance Encounter

Zheng Xiangyi returned home and saw that Zheng's mother was still busy in the kitchen.

Quickly put down the backpack and walked over quickly to take the shovel in her hand, "Mom, the kitchen is too full of fumes, you go and rest and let me come." ”

"You've been busy for most of the day, how can I keep you busy when you come back."

Zheng Xiangyi skillfully stir-fried the dishes in the pot, "It's okay, you go and prepare the one for your father separately and go to rest." ”

Then I remembered one thing and asked, "By the way, isn't Mu Mu at home?" ”

"Yes, I haven't been in the room all this time."

Zheng Xiangyi tasted the saltiness of the dish and put it out, and shouted towards the door of the room: "Zheng Simu!" Come out! ”

Zheng's mother had already left the kitchen.

Zheng Simu reluctantly walked out and stood at the door of the kitchen, and said with a cold face: "Why are you shouting so loudly?" I'm not deaf. ”

"Didn't you hear anything in the kitchen?" Zheng Xiangyi didn't have a good face for her, "I don't know how to help do things if I don't study at home." ”

She couldn't understand Zheng Simu's temperament anymore, she must be reading those romance novels when she is bored in the room, or she is fishing, and it is impossible to do anything related to studying.

She looked indifferent when she was exposed, and stretched out her hand towards Zheng Xiangyi: "Give me some money." ”

"What do you want money for?"

"Don't worry about it, just give it to me."

Zheng Xiangyi ignored her, came out with the dishes, and went to get the dishes and chopsticks and cleaned up the kitchen by the way.

Zheng Simu followed closely behind her, quite a posture that if you don't give me money, I will follow you.

Finally, Zheng Xiangyi stopped at the table.

"It's useless for you to follow me." looked at her and said seriously, "This month's living expenses have been given to you, and the school's meal card has been filled with enough money, what else are you going to do?" ”

Zheng Simu bit his lip and said hesitantly: "Sometimes I have to buy books, but I don't have enough money. ”

"Buying books?" Zheng Xiangyi couldn't help laughing, "If you want to say that you spend money to dress up and go out to play, I can still believe that books have nothing to do with you being half a dime!" ”

"Don't get your hopes up, I don't have any money."

"How can you not have money!" Zheng Simu didn't believe it.

Zheng Xiangyi ignored her and went back to the room to change her clothes.

The physical condition of his parents is not very good, and his brother Zheng Haolin, who can't see anyone all day, can't count on it.

Zheng Xiangyi is responsible for everything in the family, including the whereabouts of the money.

Zheng Simu has no second person to look for except for her.

"Don't think I don't know what job you've changed." Zheng Simu stood at the door and said, "Jiangbei Ming told me, you work in their house for tens of thousands of dollars a month!" ”

Hearing this, Zheng Xiangyi exhaled irritably.

He opened the door and said to her, "What about tens of thousands? I've only been there for a few days, and I'm rich? You think it's a good job, and people stuff money into your hands? ”

Zheng Simu snorted twice and didn't speak.

Looking at her appearance, Zheng Xiangyi was even more annoyed.

"Zheng Simu, listen to me, in addition to the fixed living expenses every month, don't think about asking for a penny more, it's better to focus on studying than anything else!"

Zheng Simu whispered, "If you don't want to give, you won't give, what are you going to study." ”

"You're a senior in high school! The college entrance examination is going to be in a few months, what do I have to do with you about studying? Zheng Xiangyi cleaned up the room a little faster.

also shouted with a hint of anger: "Why don't you ask your brother for money?" ”

"If I can find him, will I beg you?"

"Huh." Zheng Xiangyi sneered, "You also call it begging?" ”

I didn't want to waste a conversation with her here, so I threw all my dirty clothes into the washing machine and pressed the start button.

Looking at the food on the table again, I have lost my appetite.

When I opened the refrigerator, I found that there were still a few slices of bread that had expired two days later.

Quickly came to his parents' room, said hello to them briefly, and told Zheng's mother to wash the clothes and help dry them in a while.

Zheng Xiangyi has a fixed part-time time every weekend, Saturday is the afternoon, and Sunday is the morning.

Occasionally, she would receive a part-time job notice in the evening, which was one of her only sources of income before she had a regular job.

In the evening, Zheng Xiangyi finished his part-time job and came out of the store.

sat down on the bench at the bus stop to take a break, and didn't look at my phone all afternoon, thinking that I would receive a call or message from Cheng Che.

However, she was disappointed, and her phone was empty.

I was looking intently, and I didn't notice a figure slowly approaching behind me.

"Hey!"

A crisp voice startled Zheng Xiangyi, and when he looked back, he instantly showed a happy smile.

"Wheat! When did you get back? ”

The beautiful girl in front of her wearing a pink floral dress and sunglasses is Zheng Xiangyi's best friend Simy.

The two hugged each other tightly for a few moments before letting go.

"Just arrived half an hour ago." Simai smiled and said, "Knowing that you will be working part-time around here, I will come to you as soon as possible." ”

As he spoke, he sat down next to her and pulled a laptop out of his bag.

"Oh, a gift for you, I'll draw on it in the future, and the software will download it for you."

"Thank you, Wheat."

Zheng Xiangyi was about to take it, but stopped moving.

thought that she also gave a computer not long ago, but within two days, Zheng Haolin secretly took it to the second-hand and sold it for money.

"Wheat." Zheng Xiangyi said, "Can you put this first, I will find you when I need to use it." ”

Si Mai knew the situation at home very well, and guessed what she was worried about, so she agreed without saying a word, "No problem." ”

"By the way, let's eat together in the evening, we haven't been together for a long time."

"Okay."

Before he finished speaking, Zheng Xiangyi's phone rang.

"Hey, Manager Zhang."

On the other side of the phone was the manager in charge of the entertainment city, where Zheng Xiangyi worked part-time.

"There is a shortage of people tonight, double the salary to settle the bill, can you come?" The manager asked bluntly.

Zheng Xiangyi looked at Simai in embarrassment.

Si Mai on the side had already heard it, and made a gesture to her, meaning to leave her alone.

After hanging up the phone, Zheng Xiangyi was embarrassed to hold her hand, "I'm sorry, wheat, I ......"

"What do you apologize to me? Isn't it stupid to have a lucrative job? Smyk took out the car keys, "Let's go, I'll send you there!" ”

Si Mai knew her situation, nothing was more important than making money, and he didn't want her to be psychologically burdened.

Seven o'clock sharp.

Zheng Xiangyi changed into work clothes and came out of the room, and followed a few girls of similar age to prepare to go to the box to do things.

Approaching the corner in front, Zheng Xiangyi saw a familiar figure flashing by.

From the side, that person seems to be Cheng Che, why is he here?

There was no news from him all day, and Zheng Xiangyi was ready to catch up and take a look.

A box door on the right hand side suddenly opened, and a hand reached out from inside to lead her in.

"Huh?" I couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

When he saw the person in front of him, his eyes widened in surprise, "Jiang Xunye?" You ......"
