Chapter 99 Counting Money
In order to express his gratitude to Chen Qing, Mao Jianguo filled two aluminum lunch boxes with meat.

There are stir-fried beef and egg dumplings.

He Yuxiang felt distressed: "If I had known that Daddy Mao would send you food, I wouldn't have bought it."

Today he went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy sweet potato vines, loofahs, and edamame, spending a total of 60 cents, which was very expensive!

"He gave me meat and you bought vegetables, so there is no conflict. Beef is nutritious, so you two should eat more beef." Chen Qing picked up some more beef for Xiaoyu, so that the little guy would not feel unwell after going to school because of his low resistance.

Xiaoyu is a good baby who is not picky about food. He eats whatever is available quietly and seriously. He is a very worry-free child.

He Yuxiang silently calculated in his mind that the sweet potato vines could not be added, but the loofah and edamame could be added. Just a little bit of green vegetables would be enough every day, and the amount for three days could be divided into nine days.

It doesn’t cost a dime a day!

After doing the math, He Yuxiang felt more balanced and started to enjoy his meal more.

After Chen Qing finished his meal, he took a short nap and then went to work.

Xiaoyu watched her aunt leave and waited anxiously at the door: "I want to go to work too."

He Yuxiang: "You don't want to."

His sister was so lazy about studying that in order to avoid being sent to the countryside as an educated youth, he had to buy her a job. Each job paid between five hundred and one thousand yuan, so he would have to save for a long time.

After tidying up the house, He Yuxiang found a hoe and tidied the land.

I don’t know if he didn’t grow the vegetables well or what, but the vegetables are growing very slowly. If I had known this earlier, I would have asked Hong Dazhu to take a closer look at the vegetables in the field when he came to our house last time, otherwise such a good private plot of land would have been wasted.

Xiaoyu brought a can of pickled garlic and a shovel and came over to catch earthworms for the chickens.

There were not many earthworms in her private plot, so she had to look for them carefully. Every time she fed the chickens more earthworms, the eggs they laid would be bigger, and they would lay one egg a day.

He Yuxiang went to get a straw hat to cover his sister: "Your face will hurt if the sun is on."

The earthworm was very long. Xiaoyu quickly pulled it up and put it into the jar, then lay down to find the second one.

He Yuxiang saw that his sister was addicted to this and knew that she didn't want to go to class, so he ignored her and went to make height-increasing insoles.

The height-increasing insoles were completely made with the leftover scraps from his aunt. He Yuxiang took the needle and thread and sewed them slowly. After he had finished sewing two pairs, he washed his hands and went to cook.

"He Yuting!"

"here I am."

"where is it?"

"I'm waiting for my aunt at the door."

"understood."

He Yuxiang walked towards the kitchen.

Chen Qing came back a little late today because he went to the supply and marketing cooperative. Normally, all he needed to buy malted milk was money and a ticket, but it turned out that it was payday and many people wanted to buy malted milk.

She originally wanted to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy malted milk as a surprise for the two little ones, but ended up leaving empty-handed.

Chen Qing had no choice but to go home.

Seeing the little guy waiting for him, Chen Qing hugged Xiaoyu and said sullenly, "Maltese will have to wait."

"It's okay, we have meat to eat."

Xiaoyu didn’t have much desire for malted milk, she felt that it was good enough as it was now.

Chen Qing touched the little girl's hair and carried her into the house.

Today, the alley was filled with the aroma of meat, which made Chen Qing hungry. At the dinner table, Xiaoyu excitedly shared with her aunt: "Aunt, when I was waiting for you at the door, I heard someone talking about Director Lin."

"What's up with her?"

"She beat her son up and wanted to tie him up and take him to the Youth League Office. He refused, threw a tantrum, and kissed his two sisters." Xiaoyu chewed the beef and said angrily, "He's so mean!"

"Kissed two!" Chen Qing was shocked.

Xiaoyu nodded heavily: "Yes, I heard it clearly, there are two!"

"Then he's finished."

"Yes Yes."

"Did you hear anything else?" Chen Qing felt that the source of his gossip at the machinery factory was Tian Mengya, and the source of his gossip at home was Xiaoyu.

"Yes, a woman goes to the newspaper office every day to call a man, and the phone bills are too high, so she has a quarrel with her son and daughter-in-law." Xiaoyu chuckled. It was her fault for hitting her brother before, and now Xiaoyu doesn't like her.

Chen Qing also laughed.

He Yuxiang was forced to know a bunch of gossip and was speechless.

He stuffed his food silently and waited for them to finish. He even yawned with his chin propped up, but they were still dawdling. It was so annoying!!!

He Yuxiang went to do other work in a bad mood. He was really annoyed by having nothing to do but listen to gossip.

Chen Qing was also shocked by He Yuxiang's diligence: "Your brother is really amazing."

As she gradually integrated into this world, her true nature was exposed. She assigned very few tasks to He Yuxiang, and basically He Yuxiang had to find work on his own, but he just happened to be able to find work!

Like now, he wants to crack peanuts.

Xiaoyu said: "I will do it later. Our family has been using too much oil recently. I can only get a bag of peanuts and go to the agricultural and sideline store to squeeze peanut oil for the waiter."

"alright."

Both siblings are hardworking.

Xiaoyu cleaned up the dishes.

Chen Qing also returned to her room. She was stunned. Does this mean that the whole family is hardworking?
No!

After she pays off her debts, she will be in trouble for a while.

She calculated the money after receiving her salary, and it totaled 95.5, but she needed to pay He Yuan 20, and buy malted milk and stationery for the two children, which would cost an estimated 7 yuan. The daily necessities for the family would cost at least 15 yuan a month.

After doing the math, she was left with 53.5, which made little difference whether she received the salary or not.

Chen Qing covered his face and lay on the bed muttering: "When will I be able to get rich?"

Why did she read period novels before, where the heroine had a system and a golden finger, but she had nothing, had to go to work the next day, and had to do a side job after get off work to make ends meet.

"unfair!"

"This is so unfair!"

"I want to get rich! When will money fall from the sky for me?"

……

He Yuxiang, who was cracking peanuts, asked calmly, "What's wrong with your aunt?"

Xiaoyu said angrily: "Don't scold me, I'm just too tired from work."

He Yuxiang bent his fingers slightly and knocked her head: "You really only remember to eat and not to be beaten."

"No, you're blind." Xiaoyu squatted down and sat back on the small stool, using a long and flat wooden stick to pick up the peanuts. The peanuts opened quickly and the peanuts fell out easily.

He Yuxiang: "There's no rush for peanut oil. Go check on the water that the dwarf tiger has pumped first."

Ever since Shorty sold out his father for everything last time, he has been looking for opportunities to make money.

He is sturdy and strong, so fetching water is not difficult for him.

"He Yuxiang, Xiaoyu, will you also be in the first grade by then?"

"Yeah." He Yuxiang nodded indifferently.

Xiaoyu asked, "Do you want to go too?"

"Yes, my parents signed me up. But I won't be able to play every day when I go to school."

Shorty sighed.

Very sad.

Xiaoyu also sighed heavily.

Quite recognized.

He Yuxiang: “…”

These two lazy guys.
