Chapter 159 Dad, you lost twenty dollars

Chen Qingqing's pretty face flushed.

She came to her senses and quickly reached out to push Xu Ye away, saying hurriedly: "I... I'll go back to the dormitory first. Remember to send me a message when you arrive in Jiangzhou."

After she finished her sentence briefly and quickly, she trotted all the way to the dormitory.

Xu Ye smiled and walked towards the school gate with his shoulder bag on his back.

Chen Qingqing stood on the balcony, watching Xu Ye walk away, and then returned to her seat and sat down. Her expression was blank, and her mind was still thinking about the feeling just now.

…

Take the ticket, check the ticket, and get on the train.

At eight minutes past six, the high-speed train started on time.

Today is not a holiday, so there are few people in the carriage. After Xu Ye got on the train, he played with his mobile phone for a while, put down the small table and went to sleep. When he opened his eyes again, it was already past ten o'clock.

There was an unread message on WeChat, which was sent by Jiang Meilin.

Jiang Meilin: "When will it arrive?"

Xu Ye: "I'm already on the high-speed train. I'll arrive at Jiangzhou Railway Station at about 11:15."

Jiang Meilin: "Have you told your family?"

Xu Ye: "No, I want to give my mother a surprise."

Jiang Meilin: "Then I'll pick you up."

Xu Ye: "Don't bother Auntie."

Xu Ye: "I'll take a taxi back by myself."

Jiang Meilin: "Send me a message after you leave the station."

No one can persuade Jiang Meilin to make a decision.

Xu Ye could only reply "yes" obediently.

An hour later, the information that the train was about to arrive at Jiangzhou Station was finally displayed on the display screen of the carriage.

After the high-speed train stopped, Xu Ye walked out as soon as possible, and then walked out of the station with ease. He saw Jiang Meilin's car at a glance and trotted all the way.

Jiang Meilin saw that he was carrying a bag, so she waved to Xu Ye to sit on the co-pilot.

"Does Qingqing know that you're back in Jiangzhou?"

Xu Ye fastened his seat belt and smiled, "She knows. I went to find her before I went to the station."

Jiang Meilin nodded, holding the steering wheel, and asked, "From what I know about you, you're not an impulsive person, so you should have carefully considered the five million investment before making the decision, right?"

Xu Ye nodded honestly, "Of course, if I hadn't thought it through, I wouldn't have borrowed so much money from others to invest."

Jiang Meilin smiled and said, "Five million is also a lot of money for me, so before I give you the money, we have to sign a contract."

"That's what I should do."

"Do you want to tell your parents about this?"

"No." Xu Ye smiled and said, "I have confidence in myself."

Jiang Meilin paused for a moment, and suddenly asked in a joking tone, "If your investment is successful and you become richer and richer in the future, you won't dislike my Qingqing, right?"

Men become bad when they have money.

There are many such examples around Jiang Meilin.

In her circle, many big bosses, after starting from scratch, began to dislike their original wives who worked hard with them, and there were many who secretly kept mistresses.

Jiang Meilin seemed to be joking, but it was actually a test.

Others might not understand the meaning of Jiang Meilin's words, but how could Xu Ye not understand it.

"Of course not, Auntie, you can rest assured about this."

Xu Ye turned his head to look at Jiang Meilin, and said in a joking tone: "Auntie, if you don't believe it, wait until Qingqing and I graduate, you can do some ideological work for Qingqing and let her go to get a marriage certificate with me first?"

Jiang Meilin laughed and said: "You are dreaming. Before your career has not improved, I will not let Qingqing marry you. If your investment fails, you will have to marry into our family."

"No."

"There is a long way to go, I will see."

The car stopped at the gate of the community where Xu Ye's home was. After getting off the car, Xu Ye waved and watched Jiang Meilin drive away, and then walked towards home with a shoulder bag on his back.

…

Late at night.

With a dry mouth, Xu Xiangdong lifted the quilt and got up from the bed. Seeing that his wife was still sleeping, he walked out of the room quietly and came to the kitchen.

He picked up the thermos and poured half a cup of hot water into the thermos, and mixed half a cup of boiled water. Old Xu took the thermos and drank several gulps, then added half a cup of hot water, and then took out a bag of wolfberries for soup from the cupboard, grabbed a handful and put it into the thermos.

People in middle age can't help themselves, put wolfberries in the thermos.

Old Xu is just at this age. He often has backaches. Now, whether at home or at work, he is used to making a cup of wolfberries.

After screwing on the lid of the thermos, Old Xu was about to go back to the room, but suddenly thought of something, so he stopped again, walked to the sofa, uncovered the sofa cushion, reached into the gap and took out a handful of change from it.

Five yuan, ten yuan, twenty yuan.

This money was the money Zhang Hong left over from his shopping trips, and he hid it in the sofa cushions.

This was considered a small amount of money for Lao Xu.

Lao Xu also had a trick that always worked.

That was to ask the owner of the auto repair shop for half a bottle of waste oil and pour it under the car, then take a photo and send it to Zhang Hong, saying that the car had a problem and was leaking oil, and it would cost several hundred yuan to repair it.

At this time, Zhang Hong would usually nag for a few words, and then transfer two or three hundred yuan to Lao Xu to repair the car, and Lao Xu could keep the money and use it as pocket money.

But the last time Lao Xu used this trick, Zhang Hong had already become suspicious. She yelled: "If your broken car leaks oil again, just sell it to me."

So, Lao Xu doesn't dare to use this trick easily now.

Lao Xu sat on the sofa, flattened the change, piled it together, and began to count...

"Fifteen, twenty, thirty, thirty-five..."

When Lao Xu just counted to one hundred and twenty-five.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

Suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door.

Before Lao Xu could react, Zhang Hong's voice came from the bedroom: "It's so late, who is knocking on the door?"

Zhang Hong put on her slippers in a daze, walked to the living room and turned on the light.

Lao Xu held a handful of change in his hand and looked at Zhang Hong.

Zhang Hong thought she was dreaming. She rubbed her eyes and asked, "Lao Xu, what are you doing sitting on the sofa in the middle of the night?"

"Nothing... nothing, I was thirsty and drank some water."

Lao Xu quickly put the money between his legs while Zhang Hong couldn't see clearly.

The knock on the door sounded again. Zhang Hong walked forward and opened the door while shouting "I'm coming, I'm coming."

Seeing Xu Ye standing at the door with a smile on his face, Zhang Hong was surprised and said, "Xiao Ye! Why are you back? Did you get into trouble at school?!"

"Mom, can you wait for me to be better?"

Xu Ye rolled his eyes, squeezed into the living room, and made up an excuse to explain, "Didn't you call me on Friday to ask when I would be home? It happened that the teacher asked for leave next Monday, and I had three days this weekend, so I bought a ticket to come back."

"Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

"Isn't this a surprise for you?"

"It's the middle of the night, and it's scary. Almost. "Zhang Hong said, but she still walked straight to the kitchen and asked happily: "There are dumplings in the refrigerator. I haven't finished the bone soup I cooked in the evening, so I can have a bowl of noodles. What do you want to eat?"

"Dumplings."

Lao Xu got up and prepared to go to the kitchen to help. Just after taking two steps, Xu Ye pointed at the twenty yuan on the ground and asked: "Dad, you dropped twenty yuan."

Zhang Hong poked her head out of the kitchen: "I confiscated your dad's pocket money this month. Where did he get it..."

Before Zhang Hong finished her words, she saw that twenty yuan had really fallen on the ground.

"Lao Xu!!!"

"Wife, listen to me explain to you."

Zhang Hong walked towards Lao Xu with a spatula. Lao Xu jumped up and down, cursing: "You little bastard, I really owed you in my last life. In the next life, I will be your son and you will be your father."
