Chapter 119 [119] Living expenses
Huang Xiaopei first sent his daughter Su Zixuan to the school directly, and also asked his mother-in-law to identify the specific location of her daughter's school. Su Zixuan's school was just outside the gate of the community, and it was very easy to find, and He Meizhen's identification was also very smooth.

On the other side of the school road, turn into a small alley and there is the vegetable market. The second place Huang Xiaopei took He Meizhen to was the vegetable market. There was a shortcut in the vegetable market that directly led to the back door of the community. He took her mother-in-law to detour around the small road again, and He Meizhen almost got to know her acquainted with her two times.

Huang Xiaopei looked at the time, it was already past eight o'clock, although she was in her second class today, there was still some time to walk from here to the school.

So she said: "Mom, look at this road, do you know the road?"

"Almost recognized."

"The road to this vegetable market is to go to Xuanxuan School, and this road is the path back to the community." Huang Xiaopei confirmed it again with his fingers.

"Well, I see." He Meizhen nodded.

"Then if you are familiar with it, I will leave first. It is getting late, and I have to rush back to class."

"Well, if you have something to do, do it first. I'll walk around here, and I should find the way."

"That's fine."

Huang Xiaopei had just turned around and hadn't taken two steps when He Meizhen realized that she had hurried back.

So He Meizhen didn't leave, she just waited for Huang Xiaopei.

"What's wrong?" He Meizhen asked.

Huang Xiaopei didn't speak, but directly took out a small stack of money from his bag, which seemed to have been prepared in advance, and the money was neatly placed.

She said that while talking, she stuffed the money into He Meizhen's hand.

"Mom, you can use the money to buy vegetables. I almost forgot about it just now."

"No, no!" He Meizhen, who didn't even move, showed joy but refused.

"Mom, didn't we all agree before that we pay for the living expenses, and we should pay for the grocery shopping, so don't be polite to me, just take it."

"Yesterday Mangzi gave some money to Zihan, and I still have money to buy groceries."

"That money is Qingchun's pocket money for the children. How can it be used to buy vegetables? Just take it."

"Well, it doesn't take so much."

He Meizhen didn't know how much money was here, but she saw that there was a lot of money in a small stack, so she only cautiously drew out two cards of Grandpa Mao, and left the rest in Huang Xiaopei's hands.

"Mom, you can take them all. This Shanghai is better than my hometown, and the food here will definitely be more expensive than at home. Moreover, there are so many people in our family, and 200 yuan can't buy a few meals," Huang Xiaopei said. He handed the rest of the money to He Meizhen, "You can take it all, you can buy whatever food you want, and we are not picky about food."

"You can tell me after the money is used up."

"I really don't need so much." He Meizhen continued to refuse.

Huang Xiaopei's time is tight here, and he doesn't have time to talk so much nonsense, besides, she has long known the custom of pretending to reject people in her hometown.

She has seen with her own eyes the lucky money given to the old people who are obviously legitimate. Some old people will pretend to push back and forth for a long time. If they meet some young people who don't have good eyesight, they will not be willing to see this scene. If you push it back and forth, you really don't give it up, and then secretly this young man will be stabbed in the back by them.

Therefore, Huang Xiaopei didn't intend to present his buddy's own mother-in-law to this feigned pushback in the public, it was ugly and meaningless.

So she changed the subject and said: "Oh, by the way, Mom, Xuanxuan and I usually don't come back for lunch when we have classes from Monday to Friday, and Qingchun won't come back either. You will be the three of you at noon today." It’s fine, and at night you can add the amount of the three of us.”

"okay."

"By the way, is Xuanxuan going to pick him up today?"

He Meizhen asked repeatedly, "What time does she finish class?"

"I haven't attended the training class today, so you just need to make a good meal. Xuanxuan, I will come back from get off work and pick her up from her cram school."

"Xuanxuan has a calligraphy class every Friday. We usually don't go back so early. It is estimated that we will arrive home around 7 o'clock, and Qingchun will arrive home around this time."

"Oh, okay, then I'll make dinner before 7 o'clock."

"Ah."

Huang Xiaopei saw that the explanation was almost done, and looked at the money that her mother-in-law hadn't received yet, so she stuffed the money into the loose pocket of He Meizhen's jacket with lightning speed.

And put down the words, "You take all the money, don't lose it."

After she finished speaking, she left immediately.

And He Meizhen was actually very happy watching her daughter-in-law's operations. Although she said she refused the money from her daughter-in-law, she was definitely happy to get the money. Who else doesn't like money? She took the money she bought for vegetables for granted, but she always pretended not to put on an air in front of her.

Huang Xiaopei's behavior suddenly made He Meizhen feel that this daughter-in-law is not as difficult to get along with as she imagined, at least she still understands some principles of life.

It is said that after Huang Xiaopei left, He Meizhen's eyes were wide open, and she quickly took out the stack of money from her pocket.

She looked around and saw that there were too many people coming and going in the vegetable market. She took a closer look and found that there was an alley in front of her. There seemed to be no one, so she hurried into the alley. People's garbage recycling bin.

Generally, they don't collect big garbage, and indeed no one would come to this stinky little corner, but at this time, He Meizhen didn't care about the smell here, she hurried to the side of the garbage dump, and sneaked the money out of her pocket Come out, spit on the thumb of his right hand, skillfully counting the number of banknotes.

"110!"

After confirming that they were ten white hundred-yuan bills, a motherly smile appeared on her face.

Then I quickly put it into the waist pocket. Her trouser waist is different from others. Most people’s trouser pockets are designed on the outside, but hers is just the opposite. The pockets are designed on the inside. Of course, this exclusive design is not considered by the manufacturer. Thoughtful, but designed by He Meizhen herself.

She is usually very cautious about money, for fear of losing a penny, so she usually sews a small bag on thin trousers, just to put money, but this bag is really practical, let alone 10, even if it is another [-] Its capacity is not a problem.

The moment the money was put into He Meizhen's self-made mouth, she was really happy in her heart.

It is said that Su's father, Su Tiejun, is usually in charge of the money in the family, and she has never carried any large sums of money on her body. With so much cash to buy vegetables, He Meizhen is still the first time a big girl gets on the sedan chair.

After confirming that the money was put away, He Meizhen really dared to move, and only then did she smell the stench from the garbage dump, which made her pinch her nose violently with her hands, but at the same time She also found that her right hand was out of Qian's "sight" range, and quickly put her right hand back, and her left hand went into battle.
