Candide in Chronology is on strike

At noon, Qin Qing came back. She was still a student and didn't have much money. She went to a restaurant with her classmates to eat out. It was not allowed to do so, so she had to go home to eat.

Qin Jiang is different. He is already working, and his monthly salary is enough to support him in a comfortable life.

Every month, Qin Jiang Qin Xi will withdraw ten yuan from his income as household expenses. Some of it will be placed in a small cabinet in the kitchen to buy breakfast and groceries, and some will be used to purchase household items. Some of it will be used to pay Qin Qing’s tuition.

Twenty yuan a month for these expenses is more than enough, and there will still be some savings by the end of the year.

Qin Qing is not a person who spends money recklessly. She has a strong sense of propriety in this regard. She should spend as much as she should, and don't spend your hands on things that shouldn't be spent. Of course, she has always followed Qin Jiang and Qin Xi. Not limiting her spending has something to do with it.

As long as it is normal and legitimate expenditure, she can make a well-founded application report, and generally speaking, it will be approved.

Coupled with her monthly pocket money of two yuan, she has never been troubled by money, at least for now.

After a long while, Qin Jiang rushed back with his head covered with heavy snow. As soon as he stood under the eaves, the first thing he did was to pat the snow off his body.

Fortunately, it is not snowing like rain. As long as the temperature is low enough, the snow on his body will not melt at all. Taking the photo now will not have any impact on his clothes, so as not to melt the snow later. Wet your clothes.

At noon, Qin Xi and Qin Qing had a simple bowl of clear soup noodles with an fried egg. Qin Xi always felt that something was missing when eating noodles instead of fried eggs. Omelette has almost become a must-have dish for their family when eating noodles and noodles. .

Because the portion wasn't too big, I wasn't very hungry.

Now, at four o'clock in the afternoon, hunger hit, and both of them felt it was time to start making dinner.

It gets dark early at this time. Often by five o'clock in the afternoon, it's almost dark, so you have to turn on the lights to eat.

Although electric lights had become popular in the city at this time, some families who were living in relatively tight financial constraints were still accustomed to using oil lamps. They did so for one reason only, and that was to save money.

Qin Jiang got up early the next morning. Today was the first day of work. He should go to the work early. Then, he would help his colleagues in the office clean up and hold meetings. Time passed quickly.

He still understands these basic workplace rules.

Although he was officially assigned to the work unit after graduating from college and was given an iron job, he was ostracized because of his personality and sat on the bench in the work unit. However, he had a kind personality, winks, and was very popular. Those are two different things. Situation, two ways of living.

He finished breakfast directly on the road. When he went out, it was only seven o'clock, the sky was still bright, and the snow on the road was so thick that there were potholes every time he stepped on it.

He didn't get up too early. The sanitation workers who cleaned the streets started busy early in the morning, clearing the snow on the roads, not to mention those who supported their families by selling breakfast. Generally speaking, they started working at three in the morning. They get up at four o'clock and have to set up the stall around six o'clock. If it is summer, the stall opening time will be pushed forward by another hour, so they really earn hard-earned money.

Of course, running a small business will naturally be much more than the dead wages they get from working in an office, unless like the major Qin Xi studied, in addition to the salary he receives every month, he can also earn extra money. , the extra money is even several times her salary.

The richest person in this family is Qin Xi. Qin Jiang was envious of the numbers on her passbook. Qin Xi and Qin Qing don't like to get up early in the winter, so Qin Jiang usually doesn't wake them up or even bring them breakfast.

He got up early and went early, and the breakfast he bought was completely cold before the two of them got up. It was better not to bring it and let them get up and buy it by themselves!
When they wake up, it's not too late to go out and buy something. Anyway, their house is not far from the breakfast street, only a minute or two away, and it's still warm when they bring it back! There is no need for him to bother.

At nine o'clock, Qin Qing and Qin Xi both woke up and got up to wash up and have breakfast.

At this time, Qin Xi's college friend and colleague, Lu Jing, knocked on the door of Qin's house.

"Qin Xi. Qin Xi" As far as she knows, Qin Xi's brother goes to work on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, so on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, these three brothers and sisters should be back anyway!

Qin Xi heard Lu Jing's voice and ran very fast. In the yard, she slipped and fell on her butt on the snow-covered ground. It didn't hurt, but she was a little confused.

Maybe it's because I haven't seen Lu Jing for too long, so I'm a little anxious. Of course, it turns out that it's best not to run on a snowy day. It's useless to be anxious, and it will delay things even more.

With a creak, the courtyard door of the house was opened. Qin Xi looked at Lu Jing, who had not seen him for many days, and was very happy: "Why are you here?"

Lu Jing didn't show any politeness, she just walked through the door and pulled Qin Xi in. "I know your brother will definitely have to go to work today, so I'm here."

The two people who met seemed to have endless things to talk about. Lu Jing complained about the strange relatives who came to the house during the Chinese New Year, while Qin Xi told her about her experiences at home for the Chinese New Year, including when Qin Qing slipped out. have no idea.

Lu Jing also had lunch here. Before coming, she told her family that there was no need to cook her lunch.

The Lu family is accustomed to her behavior. After all, she and Qin Xi are both good enough to wear a pair of pants. They have been very close to each other since they went to college. She doesn't know how many meals they have had at Qin's house. Qin Xi also went to her house for dinner, but not as often as Lu Jing. After all, Lu Jing still had her parents by her side, unlike her place where there were only three young people, who were much more comfortable and easy-going.

When her brother was at home, Lu Jing was still more formal. As soon as her brother left, this person immediately let herself go. She, the owner of the house, was not as comfortable as she was.

Originally, Qin Xi thought that since Lu Jing was so familiar with her and her brother, there would be some sparks between the two of them. For this, she secretly expected it, but unfortunately, the two of them didn't know what was going on. No calls.

In March last year, Lu Jing got close to a young man from her brother Lu Jun's work unit. Good things should be coming this year.

Thinking of this, Qin Xi couldn't help but ask: "Hey, how are you doing?"

This woman is naturally curious about the gossip about her friends' romances, and she is not an exception.

Qin Xi had met that man. To be honest, she had never understood what Lu Jing saw in him. He was average-looking, below average, average-looking, and his income was not high. For Lu Jing, Jing is not a particularly nice person. Other than that, her family seems to be average. She heard this from Lu Jing.
