Chapter 14: Extravagance

"Bring your money. Hu Mingchen didn't explain, he spread out his right hand and asked Gu Xiaoqi for money.

"Take the money...... What will I do with the money?"

"Nima's, why is there so much nonsense, let you take it, can't I rob you?" Hu Mingchen understood Gu Xiaoqi, and the effect of explanation was not as good as the rough and direct effect.

Sure enough, as soon as Hu Mingchen scolded, Gu Xiaoqi reluctantly handed the two cents in his hand to Hu Mingchen.

"Let's go, let's eat jelly. After getting the money, Hu Mingchen waved his hand boldly and was about to head towards the street across the bridge.

Dugg Elementary School and Dug Middle School are next to each other, but they are not exactly on the street of Dug Township, but across the river.

Duge Township Street, which is next to the Panlong River, is not only small in size, but also lacks a flat open surface, so the primary and secondary schools were built on the opposite side of the Panlong River, and the government built a cement bridge to link it, and of course, this bridge has also become the only way for several villages on the west hill to reach the township government.

"Eat cold noodles? Hu Mingchen, are you crazy? How can you eat cold noodles for two cents? There are four of us, two cents is only enough for a bowl, how can we eat?" Gu Xiaoqi jumped in front of Hu Mingchen at once.

"Look at the way you look startled, have you been stepped on by the tail? You just go, will I still take you to eat the overlord meal? Hu Mingchen pulled Gu Xiaoqi away and continued to lead the way.

"That's it, the boss can do whatever he says, it's a lot of words. Luo Zhizheng stood on Hu Mingchen's side and said.

"It's not your money, what do you say. Gu Xiaoqi glared at Luo Zhizheng and said dissatisfied.

"Why can't I say that Hu Mingchen called me here, not you. Luo Zhizheng retorted.

Hu Mingchen, who was walking in front, shook his head and smiled, a child is a child, and such a thing can be quarreled.

"I said you two shut up, what are you arguing about. If you want to eat cold noodles, you can leave, and if you really don't want to eat it, you will go back by yourself. Hu Mingchen said as he walked without looking back.

The four of them came to a cold noodle stall at the entrance of the vegetable market on the street, Hu Mingchen pulled a stool and sat down by himself: "Boss, come to four bowls of cold noodles." ”

The unique topography of Duge Township has created a hot climate here, in the cool cities in the mountains, it is generally very cool in summer, but it is very hot in Duge Township, which is located in the valley and valley, and the temperature here is generally about eight degrees hotter than in the county and the city.

When the weather is hot, the food of jelly is very popular in the local area, and a bowl of sour soup and sauerkraut mixed with jelly goes down to the stomach, which can not only quench hunger, but also relieve the heat. Another important feature is that it is also cheap, and the jelly here is made from local plantains, and 2,000 years ago, the jelly here was only two cents a bowl.

As soon as Hu Mingchen opened his mouth and called for four bowls of cold noodles, Luo Zhizheng and the three of them looked at each other. I don't know if I should go into the pergola and sit down like him.

The three of them are afraid, if they don't have the money to pay the bill after eating, then the matter will become big, and the proprietress will not give them a free bill because they are children. When the time comes, it's hard to explain in school, and you can't run away from the beating at home.

"What are you looking at, aren't you hungry? Don't you eat? Sit down, what are you doing stupidly?" Hu Mingchen patted the wooden bench beside him and said.

Hu Mingchen knew and understood the concerns of the three of them, if it weren't for the ten yuan he was carrying now, he wouldn't dare to rush like this.

Luo Zhizheng and the three of them finally sat down next to Hu Mingchen.

"Hu Mingchen, we have no money to eat, what should we do, the boss of two cents will never do it. Gu Xiaoqi leaned into Hu Mingchen's ear and whispered a reminder.

"There is only one way for the mountain people, you, just put your heart in your stomach. The same is true for the two of you, if you are told to eat, you will eat, and I will not harm you. Hu Mingchen really pressed his hand like a boss and comforted the three little brothers.

Soon, the proprietress brought four bowls of cold noodles to the table. After getting Hu Mingchen's assurance, coupled with the temptation of the cold powder in front of them, the three of them didn't want anything else, so they picked up the bowl and ate and drank.

"Oh, it's so comfortable, I haven't eaten it for a long time, are you enough, do you want to add a bowl?" Hu Mingchen put down the bowl, raised his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth, sighed, and asked.

"No, no, that's enough. ”

"Enough, don't eat it. ”

"I'm full. ”

This bowl has already been eaten in fear, no matter whether they are full or not, who of them will really add another bowl?

"Okay, let's go when you're full, boss, give you money. Hu Mingchen stood up and handed a ten-yuan bill to the proprietress .

The proprietress was short of change and couldn't find it, so she could only take the money and go to the barber shop opposite to change it.

Seeing that Hu Mingchen took out ten big bills, whether it was Gu Xiaoqi, Mao Feng and Luo Zhizheng, the eyes of the three of them suddenly turned green.

"Hu Mingchen, how can you have so much money? That's ten yuan, you can't steal it, right?" Luo Zhizheng pinched Hu Mingchen's hand in surprise and asked.

"Steal, steal Nima's head, you can't speak, Lao Tzu can only steal so much money? Get out of the way. Hu Mingchen shook Luo Zhizheng away and scolded.

"What if you ...... I don't usually see you have more than one dollar, I don't believe that your parents will give you so much money, and everyone doesn't know what your family is like. Luo Zhizheng said in a suppressed voice.

"Yes, Hu Mingchen, so much money, if you take it from home, I think it's better for you to take it back, otherwise, I'm afraid your father will beat you to death." Gu Xiaoqi also said from the side.

"I said that you won't say something good? Either steal or be killed, what good do you have if I'm unlucky, really, I didn't steal this money, and I didn't take it casually, it's all right?"

Luo Zhizheng's reaction is actually understandable, in Duge Township, at their age, they can be regarded as rich and wealthy if they can have two yuan on them. Only those who eat public meals or do business on the street are in good condition will give their children's allowance* to one or two yuan.

In addition, it is generous for the farmers on the mountain to give their children five cents.

For example, Gu Xiaoqi, he can have two cents, because he is not only the eldest, the above three are all sisters, and his father also pours a little pig and cattle business from time to time, although in the countryside, the family background is on the upper side.

After getting the nine yuan and two cents politely returned by the boss, Hu Mingchen led the three little brothers to the school.

If Hu Mingchen's prestige was established because of Huang Xiaoyang when he came, it was not very consolidated. When they went back, Gu Xiaoqi and the three of them really became happy and convinced little followers.

The power of money is good in adults, and it is also extremely powerful in children.

It is no wonder that Marx said that the economic base determines the superstructure, and this is really a one-size-fits-all insight.

The three of them followed behind Hu Mingchen, as if they had really become his little brothers.

When they came to the bridge, Hu Mingchen and they met his sister Hu Yandie and his sister Hu Yujiao.

"Where did you die as soon as you got out of school? How did we not find you in your class? As soon as they met, Hu Yandie complained and scolded.

"I ...... Let's go to the street to eat cold noodles, sister, what's wrong? Are you looking for me?" Facing the angry sister, Hu Mingchen felt a little weak.

"Yo, there is still money to eat jelly, it seems that we have made a mistake in looking for you to eat, and we thought you would be hungry, what a lot of thoughts. Hu Yandie said sarcastically.

No wonder Hu Yandie was angry, after school, she went to find her sister Hu Yujiao first, planning to find Hu Mingchen and go to eat something together. As a result, not only did they not find Hu Mingchen in their class, but they didn't even find him after searching the entire campus, so it's no wonder that they are not angry.

Hu Yandie has fifty yuan of living expenses from her mother, and she doesn't plan to spend it indiscriminately if she has this money.

As the boss of the family, Hu Yandie is still very sensible and knows the difficulties of the family. Therefore, this money will take at least a month and a half in her plan, and this must include the pen, ink and paper they can use in their studies.

The plan is like this, but on the first day of being rich, Hu Yandie still thinks that it should be a little extravagant. I don't dare to spend other projects, but I can barely accept it by taking my younger brothers and sisters to eat a bowl of cold noodles.

No matter how unaccustomed they are to Hu Mingchen's usual cheating and trickery, Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao, but if there is really a good thing, it is still impossible for them to really forget Hu Mingchen.

How do you know that you can't find Hu Mingchen, don't say it, now that you have found him, he has already eaten it, no matter who you are, this kind of mood will not be comfortable no matter who you are.

"Gu Xiaoqi invited, Gu Xiaoqi's money, right, Gu Xiaoqi. Hu Mingchen hurriedly lied and cleared his way.

"I invited it, I ......" Gu Xiaoqi pointed to his face, his expression confused.

"What are you, in the first class, you said you wanted to treat you, and then you gave me the money, isn't it? Luo Zhizheng, Mao Feng, do you say that's the case?" Hu Mingchen glared at Gu Xiaoqi, and said with a mixture of truth and falsehood.

Hu Mingchen's hand made it difficult for Gu Xiaoqi and them not to admit it, in terms of language, what Hu Mingchen said was the truth. The only thing that is not a fact is that the money Gu Xiaoqi took is not enough for the four of them to eat.

"Well, ah, yes, that's right. ”

"That's right, Gu Xiaoqi agreed and took the money. ”

It's the same as what Hu Mingchen said. ”

Hu Yujiao pulled Hu Yandie: "Sister, forget it if he eats, let's go eat quickly, I'm a little hungry." When we have good things, we will think about him, and when he has good things, he will think about us. ”

"Let's go, you can go back to school as soon as you eat, don't wander around. ”

Looking at his sister and sister walking down the street, Hu Mingchen felt a little uncomfortable.

Sister, sister, in your opinion, that's me from the past. Now I, not only will I not meet good things and leave you, but I will also hold up the sky of happiness for you, you wait and see.
