Chapter 48: Oh, I'm rich!
Although the two of them were somewhat mentally prepared before this, when the notes from the school bag were poured out and piled up into a small mountain on the table, the scene was still highly impactful.
Not to mention Cheng Yang, even Shi Xiaoai subconsciously held her breath.
The banknotes at this time had a small face value. In addition to a pile of dimes, there were many one- and two-cent coins.
Shi Xiaoai proudly divided the money into two halves. She and Cheng Yang sat on both sides of the table and started counting.
One cent, two cents, three cents...
one cent, two cents, thirty cents...
the cents were piled in piles, and the cents were stacked in piles. The two of them counted them for a quarter of an hour before finally counting the pile of money.
Shi Xiaoai once again arranged the pile of coins in front of him, then suppressed the excitement in her heart and asked, "How much is it over there?"
"Twenty-one and sixty-five cents." Cheng Yang couldn't hide the difficulty in his tone because of excitement.
"Here are twenty-nine thirty-seven cents."
"Then all together, it's..."
Cheng Yang quickly calculated in his mind: "Fifty-one cents and two cents!"
He couldn't help but raise his head excitedly.
The room suddenly became quiet.
The couple looked at me, and I looked at you as if they were both simultaneously immobilized, unable to move.
After a while, Shi Xiaoai grinned, slapped the table, and said with a smile, "I'm rich!"
Cheng Yang also laughed: "Yes, You're rich!" He said with a smile. At this moment, Xiao Ai only felt countless beautiful bubbles spinning around in front of her eyes, immersing her whole body in a lovely atmosphere, and her mood was pleasant!
She stood up and ran into the inner room, rummaging in the cabinet for a long time, and then took out a clean pillowcase.
In front of Cheng Yang, she counted out more than one dollar of change from the pile of money, put the rest in, and then handed it over to the man.
"Give!"
"Give it to me?" Cheng Yang was shocked.
He quickly refused: "I don't want this money. This is what you earned. Besides, you should keep all our money!"
Shi Xiaoai rolled her eyes at him: "What are you thinking? I asked you to keep the money." Get up in the afternoon and go to the bank to deposit; who said I would give it to you? What a beautiful thought!"
Only then did Cheng Yang realize that he had made a mistake.
He wasn't annoyed; he chuckled and put all the bills into the bag because the money collected was relatively small. Although it was only about fifty yuan, it was still half of the bag.
Shi Xiaoai sat opposite him with her chin clenched as she watched him pretend. The more she watched, the happier he became.
After he finished, she said, "Cheng Yang, shall I treat you to dinner? It's been so long since you've returned, and I haven't given you a chance yet!"
Cheng Yang looked up at Shi Xiaoai.
He knew very well that his wife had never considered reconciling with him.
Well, at least as of this morning, absolutely not.
He looked at her opposite and saw the crooked look on her eyebrows, although he knew very well that this so-called "catching up with the wind" was just a temporary reason that his wife came up with. It was most likely because she was too happy and wanted to use this excuse to go out and look around.
But what does it matter?
As long as it makes her happy.
So he smiled and nodded: "Okay! It's rare for my wife to feel sorry for me. Why not? I wish I could!" Shi Xiaoai didn't expect that this man was so good at climbing up the pole and was shameless. She stood up from the chair with a red face and walked away.
When she reached the door, she still couldn't hold it back. She stopped and said, "I'll call them. You hurry up and pack our things!"
She walked quickly, almost as if he was running away.
Cheng Yang didn't move immediately and stood by the table, laughing muffledly.
He felt as if he had found a trick for dealing with his wife -
that is, he could tease her from time to time.
Although this person's dark face could choke someone to death in a minute, her shyness is so cute.
Shi Xiaoai first went back to the kitchen and took two canned fruits and two packages of noodles from the cupboard and then went to Aunt Liu's house.
This time it was Wang Xiaofeng who opened the door.
Seeing her, Wang Xiaofeng put her finger on her mouth and shushed, and then whispered: "When I came back, I fed them half a bowl of noodles each, and they both finished eating. My mother is coaxing them to sleep at the moment. Sister, if nothing happens, you and your brother-in-law can return to eat first, and I will send them there when they wake up. Don't bother the children when they have fallen asleep on such a cold day." Hearing what she said,
Shi Xiaoai couldn't say she wanted to care for the children. Let's go out to eat.
She stuffed the cans and noodles into Wang Xiaofeng's arms and said, "This is a gift from someone else. There are so many gifts that I can't finish them all. You can give them to Aunt Liu and tell her that Cheng Yang and I are respectful to her and Uncle Wang, and let them take it first." There are some left at home after you finish eating."
Who has endless noodles and canned food at home these days?
Wang Xiaofeng immediately understood that she was repaying her favor for helping her in the morning and became anxious.
She quickly refused: "Sister, you can't do this. Take it back quickly. If I take it, my mother will beat me to death."
Shi Xiaoai touched her lips with her fingers and growled: "Keep your voice down; I'm not happy if you wake up my son and daughter."
After saying that, she put the things on the stone table next to her and turned around to leave: "If you say I gave it to you, I won't bother you. Come in quickly! Also, I will give it to you this afternoon. You and your brother-in-law have to go out for errands and may return late. Can you help me take them for a while?" What else
could Wang Xiaofeng say? She quickly agreed.
When Shi Xiaoai returned home, Cheng Yang had already put everything back in place and was waiting for her to return. They didn't stay home longer and went out again soon.
Speaking of which, this was the first time that the couple went out alone. Before, they had to go out alone or with their children.
After only two people left, they both felt a little new and unaccustomed to it.
"Where are we going?" Cheng Yang asked.
"Let's deposit the money first, and then we have to eat something. After eating, we will go to the local product store and the non-staple food store to see if there are better snacks. In addition to visiting Master Liu's house in the evening, I want to visit Li Qiaoyun. She is almost due to give birth."
Listening to his wife's well-organized arrangements, Cheng Yang naturally wouldn't raise any objections.
They first went to the ICBC sales department, which was relatively close to home.
At this time, the first census had not yet taken place, and naturally, the application for ID cards had not yet started.
When depositing money, as long as you state your name, the bank will process it, and you do not need to provide proof of identity.
Shi Xiaoai opened a current passbook in her name, and soon, a small red book with her name and the deposit amount was handed out from the window.
Looking at the words 50 yuan written in black ink, Shi Xiaoai felt highly fulfilled.
She solemnly put the passbook into her schoolbag and believed that the numbers on it would become more and more extensive.
"Where should we eat now?" Cheng Yang asked after leaving the bank.
"Xincheng Street, you go straight along this road; I will show you the way."
When it came to eating, Shi Xiaoai immediately became energetic and jumped on the tricycle without urging herself.
Seeing her like this, Cheng Yang couldn't help but laugh: "Where are you going to take me to eat? So excited?"
"I'll take you to eat delicious food!" Shi Xiaoai said with confidence.
