Food: The super chef just wants to set up a stall leisurely
Chapter 92 Arriving at Jiangcheng
"Third Aunt, my mother told me that I must pay you back when I make money in the future, and that I must remember your kindness to our family. If I can't pay you back all at once, I can pay you back bit by bit.
She also said that if I rely on myself, it will take a long time to pay you back. If I have the ability, I will pay you more interest. If I don’t have the ability, at least I have to pay back the principal. This is also my mother’s wish. She has always been thinking about your kindness, and so do I.”
It felt much easier after she said it. Zhao Xiaojing tried hard to look up at the ceiling, not wanting the tears that were about to fall.
"Third Aunt, I am much better off now than my mother was back then. I don't have a child who needs to spend a lot of money during the intense study period, and the work I do is much easier than hers was back then. I am already very content.
The extra 20,000 yuan in interest is nothing to you, but this is the wish of my mother and me. She will be happy to see it in heaven. She will be happy to know that I have the ability to pay back the extra 20,000 yuan."
Zhao Xiaojing's tears finally fell from her eyes. She sighed and wiped them gently with her lips pursed.
Dong Mei kept turning her head and staring at Zhao Xiaojing for a long time, with her mouth tightly closed, trying to control her trembling jaw.
She was not careful enough. She had been puzzled before. Her sister used to have a formal job and worked in the factory for so many years. She was given gifts during the holidays. She should have saved some money. How could she have lost it all when she got sick?
She had clearly discovered that her neighbor who worked in the same cotton mill had distributed holiday supplies at the same time, but her sister's family had no holiday supplies; she had clearly said that they worked in three shifts, but her sister's rest time was always inconsistent...
She didn't give her sister enough care!
Dong Mei turned her back and began to tremble uncontrollably, tears and snot falling down.
Zhao Xiaojing gently took the paper and handed it over.
"I don't know... I really didn't know she was like this... I've always wondered why you sold all the houses..." Dong Mei spoke with difficulty, feeling uncontrollable guilt.
"Third Aunt, this is not your fault, don't blame yourself. You have helped us a lot. If it weren't for you, the cost of my mother's late-stage treatment would not have been paid, and I wouldn't have been able to grow up healthily until now after my mother passed away.
I told you this just to express that setting up a stall is not a shameful thing for us. My mother will support me if she knows. I don’t want to make you sad…”
Zhao Xiaojing held Dong Mei's arm and kept explaining.
It took a long time for Dong Mei to calm down. With red eyes, she returned to her usual serious and stern expression.
"You can go to Jiangcheng. Since you said so, I have no reason to stop you. But you have to tell me where you are and what happens when you get there.
You have to tell the truth and don't lie to me like your mother did!" Dong Mei paused and added, her eyes welling up with tears again.
"Third Aunt, I get it. I just don't want to lie to you, so I'm telling you these trivial things."
Zhao Xiaojing finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although Dong Mei still had a stern face and was reluctant, she was relieved that she finally agreed to her going to Jiangcheng.
When they reached the door, Dong Mei handed over two large bags of food that were placed at the entrance, saying that she had bought them early in the morning and asked Zhao Xiaojing and the others to take them with them on the road.
Zhao Xiaojing lowered her head and took it, feeling an indescribable complexity in her heart.
【Ding~】
[Main mission: Pay off 114 yuan within days.]
[Task completed]
[Congratulations on getting system coins x2000, cash x, experience x5000. ]
[This task is completed in excess, and cash rewards are given. 】
Then there was another text message reminder that RMB cash had arrived.
Zhao Xiaojing, who was just going downstairs, quickly opened her mobile phone and read the text message of nearly 50,000 yuan arriving in her account again and again.
She had just paid out 100,000, and the system gave her 50,000 back in one go! Although the tasks were getting harder and harder, the rewards were also getting more generous.
Zhao Xiaojing felt that her whole body suddenly became light, and the weight of 80,000 yuan that had been pressing on her heart was finally lifted. At this moment, she completely gained the right to be herself again.
……
The next morning, Zhao Xiaojing and Su Yuchen set out on their journey.
Zhao Xiaojing had already informed the landlord that she was going to move out in advance. She returned the keys before leaving and got the deposit back. Then she had officially said goodbye to the small room she had rented for five years.
It takes four hours to get from Yangcheng to Jiangcheng. The long train ride made everyone drowsy. In order to carry less things, the two ate a lot of snacks bought by Dong Mei along the way.
It was already afternoon when we arrived in Jiangcheng. The average temperature in Jiangcheng was much higher than that in Yangcheng. As soon as we got off the car, we both broke out in sweat.
It takes two subways to get to where Su Yuchen lives. Zhao Xiaojing changed trains in a daze, got on and off the train, and walked against the sun for more than ten minutes before finally arriving.
As soon as the door was opened, a wave of hot air came in like a steamer. Su Yuchen quickly opened the window to let out the air, and only turned on the air conditioner after a while.
The rental house where Su Yuchen lived was a bit similar to Zhao Xiaojing's previous one. It was also a private house, but it looked much newer than Zhao Xiaojing's, and the room was also bigger than Zhao Xiaojing's.
Although it is a one-room apartment, it has its own small kitchen, which is much better than Zhao Xiaojing's previous landlord who casually installed a range hood and placed an induction cooker on a stool.
The room is fully equipped with air conditioning, refrigerator and washing machine.
"It's hot, isn't it? This ghost city is like this, freezing cold in the winter and scorching hot in the summer. I used to go to school here, and there was no air conditioning in the summer, so we were forced to roll up our mats and sleep on the roof!"
Su Yuchen said as he fanned himself with a fan.
Jiangcheng is the provincial capital and also a gathering place for universities. Basically, people from the province who do not go out of the province to study go here.
"It's really hot. I didn't even need air conditioning in Yangcheng before. If Yangcheng is like here, my rental house without air conditioning will not be able to bear it."
Zhao Xiaojing wiped the sweat from her forehead and sent a message to Dong Mei to let her know she was safe, feeling dizzy and hot.
"I'll take you out for a walk in the evening, okay? The only place we can go out in this weather is the mall."
Su Yuchen asked, and Zhao Xiaojing nodded frantically in agreement.
"Shuzi, how is your guitar learning going?" After the cool air subsided, Zhao Xiaojing began to look around Su Yuchen's messy things, and immediately saw the wooden guitar leaning against the wall behind the clothes hanger.
"I can only say that I'm just getting started. I didn't have time to learn because I was working overtime, so I only learned a few songs here and there. It is said that guitar is the easiest instrument to get started with, but it took me a long time to even get started." Su Yuchen shook his head and looked at the guitar with dim eyes. "Can I play you a song?"
"Okay!" Zhao Xiaojing immediately sat up straight, and Su Yuchen picked up the guitar to tune it.
"This is a show without an ending, with all the absurdity and madness
Like a child, full of sorrow, quietly sleeping on the ground..."
As soon as the song came out, Zhao Xiaojing was stunned.
