Chapter 564 Design to Raise Money
Erdan went out on the front foot, and Hu Guoqing went to Qingcheng Town on the back foot.

According to the agreement between Hu Guoqing and his mother, it was time for his mother to mail the living expenses for the next month.

In the past year, Hu Guoqing has never paid much attention to this day. That is because on the third day of every month, the mother will always hand over the living expenses to the post office. Although there are still a few days left, Hu Guoqing pays great attention to this time. day.

Hu Guoqing parked the car at the gate of the post office, locked it, and walked in.

The counters in the two rooms of the post office were full of people, including those delivering packages, posting letters, and those waiting to make calls. Hu Guoqing couldn't help frowning, and stood in a daze at the door for a long time, then turned around and walked out. .

Hu Guoqing rode along the long street of Qingcheng Town, turning his head from time to time to look closely at the shops on both sides.

Qingcheng Town is two miles away from my village, but since I was a child, this is the first time I have paid so much attention to the shops on both sides.

Restaurants, grocery stores, sewing shops, repair shops, shops, etc., you name it.

Looking at so many shops, Hu Guoqing couldn't help wondering, is this Qingcheng Town?

In Qingcheng Town in my memory, there have always been only a few shops such as supply and marketing cooperatives, supply and marketing restaurants, bookstores, and post offices, and the rest are government compounds and residential buildings.

Ever since my father got sick, I seldom went to the town to play. Even when I came to the town occasionally, I went straight to the theme and returned after finishing. I have never observed the changes on the streets of the town so carefully. It has only been a few years , I can no longer find the shadow in my memory.

"Public telephone" came into view with a few big characters written with a brush. Hu Guoqing's eyes lit up, he swayed his legs, got off his bicycle, pushed it towards the door of the store, and walked in.

This is a newly opened department store. After entering the store, the glass counters facing the door are lined up. Perhaps because of the diligence of the owner, the counters are spotless and clean. A yellow telephone is quietly lying on the corner of the counter.

"What do you need?" A middle-aged woman asked with a smile on her face.

"I want to make a call." Hu Guoqing looked at the phone and responded.

"Okay!" With the response, the middle-aged woman at the counter moved to the phone, bent down and pressed it: "It's ready to use!"

Hu Guoqing picked up the phone and directly dialed the phone number his mother had left for him.

After a long "beep", a strange voice came from the other end of the phone: "Who are you looking for?"

"I'm Hu Guoqing, I want to find...?"

Before Hu Guoqing could say his mother's name, he heard an excited voice from the other end of the phone: "National Day! I'm your concubine, wait a minute, I'll call your mother."

Hu Guoqing waited for more than ten seconds, and then heard a low voice from the phone: "Calling at this time of National Day, is there something urgent?"

"National Day, I'm your mother, what's the matter with you?"

"Mom, it's nothing serious!"

"You frightened me. It's not a week, and it's not the end of get out of class time. You're calling, so my mother is worried!"

"I'm done with the preselection now, and the school wants to pay the money this month!"

"Pay it, pay it, how much?"

"More than 100 yuan!" Hu Guoqing originally made up nonsense, and now he asked how much it was, and he really couldn't say the specific amount for a while, but he worried that his mother would become suspicious after talking too much, so he casually said an approximate amount.

"Then let's pay, plus next month's living expenses, I'll call you 300 yuan, if it's not enough, call again, now your concubine is in the office, so it's convenient to answer the phone!"

"I said why so fast!" Hu Guoqing suddenly felt this convenience, and immediately shortened the distance between himself and his mother.

"When you finish the exam, hurry up and come back, our place is very lively!"

"But..." Hu Guoqing said two words. He wanted to change the mailing address, but when he thought about paying the money, he stopped there and didn't know what to say.

"But what?" Hu Guoqing was surprised by the question on the phone.

"But you should call the money as soon as possible, a few days in advance!" Hu Guoqing said immediately, changing his tone.

"Okay, I'll send it to you today!"

"Then hang up!" After Hu Guoqing finished speaking, he hung up the phone, worried that if he said too much, he would accidentally say something, and trouble would come.

Hu Guoqing paid the money, and bought some candy and other snacks by the way, which he prepared for Mu Bao when he went to Mu Zhen's.
