Confession letter to classmate Jiang

Chapter 5 Is 400 Yuan Enough?

After five o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Yu rode his bicycle and returned home against the violent sunset.

Before entering the room, she heard Lu Guoming's voice, gentle and loving: "You are about to start school, have you finished your homework? You know how to watch TV all day long, and when you can be like your sister, I don't need to worry about it. already."

Lu Yan stared at "Pig Man" playing on TV, and replied obediently, "I'm done, I'm done."

Lu Yu entered the living room, put on slippers at the shoe rack by the door, and greeted Lu Guoming, "Dad, you're back."

"Ah, tomorrow is a day off." Lu Guoming heard the sound and glanced at her, "Have you packed everything you need for school tomorrow?"

"It's almost there, I'll check it again tonight."

When Lu Guoming heard the words, he stopped talking.Whether it's studying or living, his daughter is very worry-free. On the other hand, Lu Yan has a lot of problems in the first grade of primary school. Compared with his sister, it's a world of difference.

In the kitchen, Xia Zhu poured out the stewed chicken soup, turned to his side, and the voice spread across the yard into the living room: "The TV is off, wash your hands and come over to eat."

Lu Yan turned his head and said, "Come on."

Taking the remote control to turn off the TV, Lu Yan slipped off the long wooden chair, put on his slippers and ran into the yard.

Lu Guoming shook his head in disbelief, got up and took out a bottle of cold beer from the refrigerator, and said to Lu Yu, "Your brother is the most active in eating. If he has this momentum in his studies, I will be Amitabha."

Lu Yu smiled, took out two chairs, went down the steps, and put them in the yard.

All summer long, the family eats dinner in the yard.The cement floor was exposed to the sun for a day, and the heat was steaming. Before meals, I poured cool water from a few buckets of wells, and the temperature dropped quickly.

"Lu Yan, go away, don't get in the way." Xia Zhu brought a pot of chicken soup to the table, his hands were too hot, and he quickly pinched his earlobe.

Lu Yu helped to bring out a plate of minced meat and eggplant, and a plate of salad with preserved cucumber and egg.Xia Zhu turned around and went back to the kitchen, and brought a plate of fried pork with cowpea and a bowl of steamed egg with okra, all of which were seasonal vegetables grown in his own vegetable garden.

Lu Yan sat down and started eating, but Lu Guoming tapped the end of his chopsticks on the head: "Go and see if your grandparents have eaten, and ask for a piece."

The grandparents lived next door, and the two families were separated by a courtyard wall.

The two elderly people do not usually eat with their sons and daughters-in-law.

First, the old man has different tastes and is not used to the dishes cooked by Xiazhu; secondly, Lu Funian suffers from chronic illness and is very particular about his meals, and only his wife Liu Chunxiu's craftsmanship can make him less picky.

Liu Chunxiu often joked among the neighbors that this old guy in the family did not have the life of the young master, but he got the disease of the young master, and he did not know how much hardship he had to endure.

Having said that, Liu Chunxiu was happy in her heart.Her good cooking skills were learned from the master chef of Liushuixi when she was young, and ordinary people can't match it.When she gets old, she is also very satisfied when there are people around her who care about her cooking skills.

Lu Yan held a cold cucumber in his mouth, stretched his neck like a big white goose, and shouted across the courtyard wall: "Grandpa, grandma, come and drink chicken soup!"

Lu Guoming said in disgust, "I'll let you go over and shout, you're screaming your soul."

"Coming soon." On the other side of the courtyard wall, Liu Chunxiu replied with a smile.

Only then did Lu Yan sit back in his seat, fish out a piece of chicken from the basin, and nibble with his head down.

Lu Guoming put a pair of wooden chopsticks together, aimed at the beer bottle cap, knocked lightly on the edge of the wooden table, pried off the bottle cap, and poured the beer into the glass.

After a while, Lu Funian and Liu Chunxiu came over.

The two old people were also preparing to eat dinner, so they simply brought over the dishes, a plate of classic pork belly with plums and vegetables on a running water table, a plate of fried lotus root slices, and a small plate of homemade bean paste.

The small wooden table for eating can hardly be put down.

Lu Funian is 66 years old this year. Even if the daily food is not bad, because of illness, he was so thin that only a handful of dry wood-like bones were left. He sat down and ate two chopsticks and asked Lu Yu casually, "School starts tomorrow?"

Lu Yu was nibbling on the chicken wings and glanced at his grandfather: "Well."

"It's the second year of high school in the blink of an eye." Lu Funian smiled, "It will be the third year of high school soon."

Lu Guoming smiled and said, "Dad, why is it so fast."

Talk and laugh, a meal is full and comfortable.

Xia Zhu filled several people with the remaining chicken soup in the pot, and while drinking the soup, he said to Lu Yu, "Your father will rest tomorrow, just in time for him to send you to sign up."

Lu Yu put down the bowl, shook her head and said, "No, I'm not a child, I need parents to lead me to sign up." She smiled first, "I have an appointment with Huang Shuhan and Gu Cheng, tomorrow morning. Let’s take the car to school together. My dad finally took a day off, so don’t bother him.”

Lu Guoming has always been the last person to finish his meal at the dinner table. He likes to eat slowly with a drink. Hearing this, he paused for two seconds with the glass in his hand: "You really don't need to send it?"

"No." Lu Yan repeatedly assured himself that he was fine.

Lu Yan shook his head and said, "I want to sign up myself."

Xia Zhupuchi laughed: "You? You will only lose money if you give it to you."

-

As night fell, the cicadas seemed to be less noisy during the day, but the frogs croaked together in the fields.

An unknown little bug followed the light and crashed into the light bulb desperately.

Lu Yu took a shower first, went upstairs, went back to his room, and sorted out the luggage that he had left in the afternoon.After cleaning up, I was sweating, and I felt like I took a shower.

The location of this two-story self-built house is not good. In summer, the sun is shining in the west, and after a whole day of sunshine, the house is so hot at night that it can suffocate people.

There is no air conditioner in the house, there is an electric fan in each room.

At this moment, the dark gray old fan was swaying and turning, the fan blades creaked, and the wind from the fan was wrapped in hot air.

Lu Yu stood up to take a breath, heard a knock on the door, turned his head and saw Xia Zhu pushing the door in.

"It's all packed up? I even told you to pack it up for you." Xia Zhu glanced at the bulging duffel bag on the chair, and said angrily, "You are so careless, you always throw things around."

Lu Yu pouted and hurriedly retorted: "How can there be."

Xia Zhu chuckled, and without arguing with her, unfolded a stack of red banknotes in his hand: "The registration fee is one thousand and two, right?"

Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Xia Zhu first counted out one thousand and two for her, and then the living expenses. When the National Day holiday comes, it will be a whole month: "Is 400 yuan enough?"

"Enough, I still haven't used up last semester." Lu Yu sat cross-legged beside the bed, his hair rolled into a loose ball, and looked up at Xia Zhu.

The food in Lushan Senior High School is good and cheap. Ten yuan a day is enough, and 400 yuan a month is enough.Lu Yu doesn't like to spend money recklessly, and the remaining money will be saved and deposited in a small treasury for emergencies.

Xia Zhu counted four pieces of [-] yuan and handed them to her, telling her to hide the money: "Keep the living expenses in the middle of the school bag, and put some change in your pocket to take the car. The registration fee will be handed over to the teacher as soon as you go to the school. If you take it from south to north, it is easy to fall off."

Lu Yan nodded obediently, immediately took the schoolbag, opened the zipper, and put the money into a small compartment inside, and the compartment was sealed with a small zipper.

Xia Zhu was very satisfied and asked again, "Is there any change for the ride?"

Before Lu Ying could answer, Xia Zhu took out a fifty-fifty piece from his trouser pocket: "Here."

Lu Yan swallowed back the word "yes", took it with a smile, and stuffed it into the pocket of the clothes he was going to wear tomorrow.

Seeing her look like a little money fan, Xia Zhu couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't forget to call me when you arrive at school tomorrow to report safety, don't wait for me to call you."

Take the car from home to the county seat, let's talk about an hour less, how can you not worry about being a mother.No matter how old a child is, it is still a child in the eyes of the mother.

"Understood." Lu Yu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Don't say it, go to bed early, try to take the first bus tomorrow morning, there will be many people late." Xia Zhu warned anxiously and closed the door for her.

　School is starting, school is starting, I will meet you at school right away, and I will be stunned.jpg
