Chapter 292 The Blood Enemy of the Downtrodden Boy (16)
Faced with Jiang Qing's sincere and straightforward promise, Zhao Taoyao was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously and unconsciously looked away.
She waved her hand and said, "Hey, why are we talking about this?"
Then it just passed by so lightly.
Jiang Qing frowned without any trace. He didn't know if it was his imagination, but he always felt that Zhao Taoyao sometimes deliberately avoided his advances.
This feeling is very subtle, because it is very contrary to common sense. After asking anyone to give something, even if it is not intentional to receive something in return, you should feel happy after being thanked.
But why does Zhao Taoyao subconsciously avoid and escape every time?
He couldn't think clearly, so he stopped thinking about it for the time being.
After the two of them had a goal, they worked harder to set up the stall.
It was the end of December in a blink of an eye, and the Chinese New Year was one month away. They had been setting up the stall for two months. The two of them sat down and calculated the money, and found that aside from daily food, clothing and operating costs,
They earned a total of 60,000 yuan in two months.
The cost of renting a store is more than enough.
The weather outside is getting colder and colder. During this period, the cold air has arrived and the sky has been gloomy. It should be snowing soon.
In the past few days, Zhao Taoyao and Jiang Qing were looking for suitable shops during the day and continued to set up stalls at night. They could not stop making money.
Zhao Taoyao is even busier. In addition to these things, she is also looking for acquaintances everywhere to find a suitable high school where Jiang Qing can take the college entrance examination.
After hitting a lot of walls, I finally contacted a semi-private high school. After paying the tuition fee, I could enter my senior year of high school and take the college entrance examination normally.
The borrowing fee was not cheap, it cost 20,000 yuan, so Zhao Taoyao gritted her teeth and paid for it.
But as a result, the money they can afford to rent a shop is even lower.
That night, when Zhao Taoyao was about to tell Jiang Qing about this, Jiang Qing said enthusiastically: "Sister Taoyao, you know, I really think the two of us are very lucky. Guess what happened to me?"
Who are you? I met the landlord of that milk tea shop!
It seems to be due to bad luck that the milk tea shop opened and closed. Anyway, the shop has not been rented out yet.
I chatted with the landlord for a while, and the landlord told me that she was in urgent need of money, and if we could sell the shop in the two days before the end of the year, we would pay our rent of 50,000 yuan a year!
Isn’t it going to snow in the next two days? We can reopen after cleaning up over there. We can go to a warm place before it starts to snow, so that you won’t be freezing every day!”
Zhao Taoyao never said she was cold, but Jiang Qing was observing her. She often stomped her feet from the cold when serving fried skewers.
If it snows in the next few days, it will definitely be colder and it will definitely be even more unbearable.
After Jiang Qing finished speaking happily, he noticed that Zhao Taoyao was a little embarrassed. He asked strangely: "What's wrong? Are you... not satisfied with the location of that store?"
Zhao Taoyao shook his head and explained how he found a school for him and then spent 20,000 to borrow tuition fees.
She scratched her head and said with a smile: "This is probably the situation. This opportunity is quite rare. I have already handed over the money for you, so we may not have that much money on hand to invest in that store again.
But it’s okay, you can still find another store, and our business here is pretty good now. Even if it snows, if you set up a stove, it won’t be that cold..."
Jiang Qing was speechless. He didn't know what to say for a moment.
He thought wholeheartedly about Zhao Taoyao, and Zhao Taoyao also thought wholeheartedly about him.
The slag elimination system prompts: "Mission target Jiang Qing's favorability towards you has increased to 70 points. Please keep up your efforts and keep working hard!"
Jiang Qing could not say any other words of thanks at this time. Only then did he realize that when people really express their gratitude from the heart, they cannot say any fancy words.
After he returned home, he took out the one hundred banknotes he had saved under his pillow every day.
Maybe it was because he was really afraid of poverty at that time, so he developed the habit of saving extra money. He counted six thousand.
He gave all 6,000 yuan to Zhao Taoyao.
"In addition to the share I saved before, these are the extra money I saved. If I make up for it, there is still a shortfall of four thousand. In three days, if we work harder, the turnover will definitely be enough!
Let’s take down the store first and move it in, so that it won’t be cold this winter.”
After Jiang Qing finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Taoyao with a pair of narrow eyes. This was the second time he looked like this.
Zhao Taoyao was not pretentious, she took the money and said: "Okay, then the two of us will continue to work hard these two days. I think our family will definitely get better and better with our joint efforts!
"
"Um!"
Jiang Qing nodded vigorously. She would be able to go to school next semester. Jiang Qing was really full of hope for the future.
But his heart was full of hope, but God was not kind to him. When they saved enough money to rent a house the next day, it started snowing.
From scattered light snow in the evening, it turned into heavy snow at night, and a layer of snow accumulated on the ground in a short time.
Today's business was also affected by the snow. Except for the traffic in the evening when the surrounding schools were out, there was no business except for a few regular customers in the evening.
They usually work until after one o'clock in the morning, but today they stopped working at ten o'clock.
There was snow on the ground, and their loaded electric tricycle skidded.
The worst thing is that they were not prepared and only brought a raincoat and an umbrella today.
Their electric car struggled on the way home, but in the end it ran out of power and could not go up the last hill.
Jiang Qing jumped down from the seat in front and prepared to push from behind.
Zhao Taoyao threw the raincoat that the two of them were wearing in front of him to him, and said without refusal: "Put this on behind you, so you don't catch a cold from the snow!"
Jiang Qing didn't want it: "Then you can sit in the front and drive..."
"I have an umbrella!" Zhao Taoyao said.
Seeing her persistence, Jiang Qing had no choice but to put on her raincoat and go behind to push the cart.
The two of them arrived home after a lot of hard work, and Jiang Qing discovered that Zhao Taoyao, who was driving in the front, was soaked to the skin, and there was even a layer of snow on his hair and eyebrows.
"Didn't you say that you can't catch the snow with an umbrella? Why didn't you tell me even though it was frozen like this?" Jiang Qing was a little angry: "I should have given you the raincoat!"
"It's okay, I'll just take a hot bath and it'll be fine. My body has been worn out for so many years." Zhao Taoyao waved her hands and said happily.
But the next day Jiang Qing got up and prepared breakfast, but found that Zhao Taoyao hadn't woken up yet.
He called Zhao Taoyao several times in the kitchen, but he only heard her moaning on the bed.
He was worried, so he took the initiative to lift Zhao Taoyao's bed curtain for the first time, and saw her lying on the bed with a flushed face, and her forehead was hot when she touched it. It was obvious that she had a fever from the cold last night!
