Chapter 22: Don't Let Your Mother Know

"You shouldn't have much living expenses this month, right?"

After finishing the powder, Xia Xinyu stared at Chen Yuan's eyes and asked seriously.

Although she can't hear Chen Yuan's heart, she also has a superpower-

Let the other person tell the truth with a sincere look.

"What do you mean by this......"

It is now October 23rd, Chen Yuan's monthly living expenses are 1,500, and the living expenses are paid around the 1st, if according to the average daily expenditure of 50, he still has at least more than 300.

In fact, Chen Yuan spent relatively little money in the first twenty days, and he didn't use a thousand, but after seeing the countdown of life on Xia Xinyu's head, the gears of fate began to turn.

Alipay's balance also began to turn.

Now he only has one hundred and sixty-seven in his hand, even if it is just an ordinary breakfast, eating in the school cafeteria, and when he comes back, he may not be able to.

It can only be said that as a last resort, he can only use that trick - old thing, explode some gold coins.

"Actually, there's less than a hundred left?"

Xia Xinyu guessed nervously.

"I can't say the same, it's a bit sensitive to talk about the cost of living. All I can say is that the range is between 100 and 20,000. Chen Yuan replied vaguely.

"......" Xia Xinyu thought for a while, then asked, "Is that in the range of two hundred to twenty thousand?" ”

“……”

With Chen Yuan's silence for a long time, Xia Xinyu also guessed that Chen Yuan's current living expenses were less than two hundred.

Because what, of course, is yourself.

That wave dragon can be understood as a reward given by Chen Yuan to himself, which can be regarded as an occasional little arrogance.

But the eel rice and black pork chops after that were purely to coax themselves into dying.

"I'll be back in my hometown in a few days, and my parents' legacy will be able to support me. But recently ......"

"I know." Chen Yuan interrupted her words and said very understandingly, "Over there, don't contact me recently, and wait until you're fully ready." ”

It's hard to get stronger, and now is the time to build your confidence.

If she is not ready to face it for the time being, don't force her.

"...... these days"

"It's okay, I'm asking my parents for money, don't worry."

"No, no."

Hurriedly waved his hand, Xia Xinyu stopped seriously, and there seemed to be a hint of pleading in his eyes.

It's really strange, what's wrong with asking your parents for money?

[If Chen Yuan's mother knew that his son's living expenses were not enough because he wanted to invite the neighbor girl to dinner, and there was more than one meal, it would be for many days......]

[His mother will definitely have an opinion about me]

Ah......h This kid is thinking too much, isn't he?

You don't understand Mother Chen's judgment and make judgments.

My mom is a very nice person, as long as she doesn't think I'm in early love, but helps others, she won't get angry......

Wait a minute.

Why is she only worried that my mom has an opinion about her?

Don't treat me Chen Jianye as a person?

Also, Comrade Jianye can't even open the dream blue in the wine cabinet at home, what can he do?

"You, don't tell your mother that you don't have living expenses." Xia Xinyu was afraid that Chen Yuan would be disobedient, so she muttered in a low voice.

"I just said that I used it myself, can't I?"

"It's even worse if you are known to be lying." Xia Xinyu was very persistent.

And the meaning of the words is also very clear.

It's okay for Chen Yuan to overspend for other reasons, but if it's to invite neighbors to dinner, and he still hides it from his parents, then it's not okay.

It seems that she still cares a lot about what she thinks in other people's hearts.

"Of course, the way to survive without living expenses is up to me." Xia Xinyu's painting style suddenly became serious, and with her fingers crossed, she calculated seriously, "Vitamins, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, ......"

"One hundred and sixty-seven can even meet these things?" Chen Yuan was stunned.

"Of course, there is a low-profile version of the way to satisfy."

After roughly calculating, Xia Xinyu said creatively: "Discounted eggs, 20 yuan and thirty pieces, this will be the main force of protein." If you want to eat the staple food, you can buy some noodles, and you can make some egg fried rice, scallion oil noodles, egg noodles, cold noodles and other changing tricks with different patterns. Vegetables eat lettuce leaves ......"

"Why is it specific to lettuce leaves?"

"It's cheap and delicious."

"Okay."

"Meat, the most expensive meat ......" Xia Xinyu looked at the tall Chen Yuan and asked, "You don't need to grow any longer, do you?" ”

"Do you want to make a whole technology and ruthless synthetic meat?"

"That's unhealthy." Xia Xinyu shook his head, like a doctor of diet, and said quite wisely, "Chicken cutlet, a serving only costs about ten yuan, which can satisfy a meal of meat dishes." After 8:45 p.m., the supermarket's discounted pork belly is only eight yuan a pound to make dry fried pork belly. Frozen chicken feet, made into lemon boneless phoenix feet, fifteen yuan can solve a meal. It's a lot of time on Saturday, so I'll give us a crucian carp stew......"

"Is that enough?" Chen Yuan asked nervously.

"What time do you pay your living expenses?"

"Next Monday."

"That's fine."

Xia Xinyu replied quite decisively, then clasped his hands weakly, as if he had grabbed something, and said with a bright smile: "On weekend nights, you can even eat two cones." ”

“……”

One hundred and six may not be able to open an Internet café in the picture bar.

But one hundred and six is here in Xia Xinyu, and he can even set a table.

Such a perfect woman, which stinky boy will be cheaper after many years.

"What? To the dishes... Not satisfied? Xia Xinyu looked at Chen Yuan a little stunned, and asked puzzled.

"You still have to go to school and prepare dinner and breakfast every day, is it too late?"

"Don't worry about this, you have to persevere in the difficult days." In the face of short-term setbacks, Xia Xinyu said quite cheerfully, "When your living expenses are paid next week, I will also go back to my hometown...... When the time comes, there will be no need to be so constrained. I'm sorry for ......, though."

"Why are you embarrassed?"

"I only solved breakfast and dinner for you, but at noon, it ......," Xia Xinyu said quite apologetically, "I only gave you a budget of 8 yuan per meal, a total of 40 yuan, and I haven't counted the cost of drinks." ”

"That's it? It's okay. The school eight-yuan package also has two dishes and one soup, and I pick up the drinks at school. ”

"Can you still pick up drinks at your school?"

"Well, I'll bring my own cup and ask Zhou Yu to pick it up."

"Your pronunciation is not standard, so it should be called 'robbery', right?" Xia Xinyu complained slowly.

drank, and gradually discovered Xia Xinyu's humor cell.

"And what about you at noon?"

"You don't have to worry about this, I eat with my aunt at noon, and each staff member in the teacher cafeteria of No. 4 Middle School can bring a child...... Talking about this, Xia Xinyu said with a little embarrassment, "I am that child, I will eat with my aunt tomorrow, it doesn't cost money." ”

Although my aunt often wants to give herself living expenses, as long as she speaks herself, she will not be so poor, but after all, she also has her life, an uncle, and a cousin.

As an orphan, there are too many places to trouble her in the future.

Therefore, those troubles that can be avoided as much as possible, you have to overcome them yourself.

The family relationship that needs to be maintained by helping will always produce cracks.

It is precisely because of her love for her aunt that she doesn't want her to quarrel impatiently with her uncle one night because of her own drag.

The only person who can trouble now is Chen Yuan.

If he is in love, there is someone who will be impatient to quarrel one day because of his existence......

Out of self-esteem, she didn't want to be in trouble.

"That's pretty good, the quota for the white prostitution canteen doesn't have to be used in vain." Chen Yuan replied very naturally, and he didn't feel that the other party was embarrassed to rub food with his aunt.

And after listening to her heart, he only had one thought.

Why is this kid so preoccupied?

Trouble is not trouble or anything......

If the gears of fate don't turn down.

How could I, Chen Yuan, have a 17-year-old high school student and a little chef to eat for myself?

"That's a penny less."

Carrying his backpack well, when Chen Yuan and Xia Xinyu walked to the bus stop together, he said casually.

"Huh? Is there still an expense? ”

"It's a dozen stops to get to school."

“……”

Xia Xinyu, who was reminded, suddenly reacted, froze in place, frowned, and immediately cried with a mournful expression: "Ahhh......h That only snack boneless lemon chicken feet are gone? No, isn't there no hope for this week? Or...... You go to Zhou Yu to rob a little more, right? ”
