Chapter 70 Where’s the Money? (1)
Ruan Jiaojiao ate breakfast while watching Ruan Lin busy in the kitchen.
Ruan Lin was really capable. She was the boss of everything here, and she hardly needed anyone to intervene. When Ruan Jiaojiao saw her passing by her, she pulled her trouser leg.
"What's the matter?" Ruan Lin was still holding meat in her hand, which was to be smoked into bacon.
"Grandma, when Jiaojiao passes the college entrance examination, I will buy you a lot of delicious food!" She said seriously.
In the past, Ruan Jiaojiao just wanted to protect the Ruan family and prevent them from dying, but now she wants them to live well, especially well!
"Hahahaha... Then I'll wait for my Jiaojiao's delicious food." Ruan Lin was amused and laughed.
"Yeah! Grandma, wait!" Ruan Jiaojiao was full of fighting spirit.
"Okay, wait for me, little darling, go out and play. There's a lot of smoke here, it will make you feel choked." After a pause, she said, "Just play nearby, don't leave the village, and don't go to the back mountain, okay?"
"Okay." Before she could control herself, she wouldn't go even if she was asked to.
This time, Ruan Jiaojiao was scared, and she didn't think about hunting for the next week.
On this Saturday, the three brothers who were studying in the town came back again.
Ruan Jun is Liu Zhaodi's eldest son. He is fourteen years old this year and is in the second grade of junior high school. He will be promoted to the third grade in the summer. The third grade is an important year for promotion to high school, which also affects whether they can be admitted to university in the future.
This time, he came back to ask for the information fee, which is more than five yuan.
This amount of money was not small. When Liu Zhaodi heard it, she immediately exploded: "Are you buying gold nuggets or materials?"
"Mom, this material is different. Our teacher brought it back from the province, so it's more expensive."
"It doesn't have to be so expensive. This is equivalent to your father's salary for more than half a month." Liu Zhaodi still didn't want to take it.
"If he wants it, just give it to him. It's a serious matter. Why are you so talkative?" Ruan Jiandang had never been to school and had never learned any skills. He couldn't work in a factory and could only do some odd jobs to make money. He knew the hardship of not having studied, so he supported his son's study with both hands. He didn't think it was a big deal to ask for five yuan for materials. At most, he would eat five kilograms less meat.
"Didn't you sell the 40 kilograms of meat last time for 40 or 50 yuan?" Ruan Jiandang thought she would keep some of the 40 kilograms of meat for the family last time, but she sold it all the next day.
But it's sold, and it doesn't matter if it's exchanged for money.
When Ruan Jiandang mentioned the money for the 40 kilograms of meat, Liu Zhaodi was frightened. She turned away, feeling guilty, but pretended to be impatient and walked away. She went to her room to get money, deliberately took out a pile of change, stuffed it into Ruan Jun's hand, and cursed: "I gave birth to you guys, and you are really debt collectors. You are either eating or asking for money all day long!"
Ruan Jun was no longer at the age of arguing with his mother. Hearing this, he was too lazy to pay attention to her, knowing that the more he paid attention to her, the more excited she would be. He turned around and went to find Ruan Hao next door. Ruan Hao had good grades. When he was promoted to high school, all the books and materials would be his, but he still had to go and say hello first, so as not to let him agree to others first.
When Ruan Jiandang said this, he thought of another thing.
As soon as Ruan Jun left, he said, "The second kid will be in junior high school this year. The tuition for both of them will cost more than 200 yuan. How much do you have left? When you have time, count it. I'll see how much is missing and then I'll find a way."
