Qin Yichuan left the teahouse, opened the back door of a Mercedes-Benz waiting outside, and got in.
"Old Qin, look at your face, you and your daughter have broken down again?" Melzak, who was sitting next to him, smiled and handed over a box of green-shelled Panda cigarettes.
Qin Yichuan took one out, lit it, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled a puff of white smoke.
After taking a few more glances at the cigarette box, he said curiously: "Lao Mei, this is a collector's edition of Panda. I've known you for so many years, and I've never seen you treat me to a good cigarette."
Shaking his head in confusion, Qin Yichuan frowned and looked sideways at Melzac: "Something's wrong, something's wrong... You're a stingy guy who usually spends a few cents a pack on Hercules. Why did you change your gender today? You
Where did you get this smoke?"
Melzak smiled and said: "I had dinner with Mayor Liu a few days ago, and he gave it to me. Don't interrupt me, let me tell you something serious about your daughter..."
When it comes to his precious daughter, Qin Yichuan can't help but get annoyed: "Hey, don't mention it. It's not like you don't know Fei'er's temperament. I saw the boy she fell in love with, and he's completely unreliable. He hasn't even done it yet.
Ji, how can you inherit my Qin family's property?"
"So you're going to beat the couple?" Melzak also took a cigarette, lit it, and started smoking.
"I gave him an invitation to the Zixian Association, hoping that he would retreat before the difficulties."
Melzac chuckled and said, "I'm afraid that cowboy is not as bad as you said. Otherwise, would you give him the invitation?"
"Huh, I'm quite capable. But it's just a little bit. Compared with Lin Hanzhi back then, it's far behind." When Li Xiaochen was mentioned, Qin Yichuan also got angry, "Lao Mei, you know
What did that kid tell me?"
Melzac asked with interest: "What did the cowboy say to you?"
Qin Yichuan snorted coldly: "He told me that fate can be changed, and he also brought out a book called "Four Lessons from the Mortal Realm". I think my daughter doesn't want to remarry, and she was probably instigated by him."
"The Four Moral Trainings?" Melzac touched the beard on his lips and pondered for a moment, "What's the name of the cowboy?"
Qin Yichuan glanced out of the corner of his eyes: "Why, are you interested in him? His surname is Li, and his name is easy to remember. He is called Xiaochen. Xiaochen, Xiaochen, Xiaoyao Chenshi... Huh, this guy only has a good name."
Melzak took another puff of cigarette and smiled meaningfully: "Old Qin, how about I make a bet with you?"
…
Li Xiaochen took Qin Yufei's car and returned to school.
Along the way, Qin Yufei just looked at the scenery outside the car window, lost in thought, and ignored him.
He was happy to be quiet, and he sent a text message back to Jiang Mier.
As soon as he walked back to the food festival venue, Li Xiaochen was grabbed by a college student wearing an apron and a chef's hat.
"Brother Achen, I've been waiting for you. Here's your bill." The college student was afraid that Li Xiaochen would run away, so he grabbed his arm tightly before handing him the bill.
Li Xiaochen was puzzled: "I didn't buy anything from your stall."
"It was a super pretty girl who complimented me. She asked me to ask you for it."
It must be Jiang Mi'er's fault - Li Xiaochen immediately locked the suspect's identity.
Besides this girl, who else would miss Li Xiaochen like that?
Jiang Mier probably took advantage of her beauty and skills to get credit from other people's stalls.
There are also tricks for having no money. Li Xiaochen never doubted that Jiang Mier's full of clever ideas would one day be used up.
He thought she was the kind of female devil who could return to Earth safely even if she was thrown out of the solar system. Her ability to survive was simply astonishing.
Li Xiaochen lowered his head to look at the bill. Well, it cost hundreds of yuan.
"I'm sorry Jiang Mi'er doesn't care about my money at all." Li Xiaochen muttered in his heart and settled the bill.
Just as he was about to plunge into the vast sea of people to look for Jiang Mier, he was pulled back by a college student: "Brother Achen, you have to make the decision for me!"
Li Xiaochen stared at him for a long time and said, "Brother, I don't seem to recognize you?"
The college student clung to him and said, "Your girlfriend won't pay for food, so she asked me to ask for it from you. You can't be irresponsible."
"I don't have a daughter... Oh! Okay, I'll give it to you. I'll give it." Li Xiaochen had no choice but to take out his wallet and settle the accounts.
After sending this person away, Li Xiaochen was immediately stopped by a student who was sweating profusely: "Brother Achen, I——"
"What's the payment? How much? Just tell me the price." Li Xiaochen was speechless for Jiang Mi'er.
How much did this dead man eat?
"Fifty lunch boxes plus takeaway fees, the total is three hundred and twenty-eight yuan and seventy cents..."
"Wait. Why is there takeout?"
"Oh, that's right. Your girlfriend asked me to deliver food to a nearby orphanage. So..."
Li Xiaochen covered his forehead with his hands, feeling dizzy: "Jiang Mi'er, you can just eat it by yourself. You even ordered takeout! You only ordered one or two portions, but you ordered fifty portions!"
Reluctantly paying the money, Li Xiaochen searched everywhere for Jiang Mier in the venue. He wanted to find this dead girl right away and talk to her about the traditional virtues of diligence and thrift.
As soon as they reached the center of the venue, the students who were setting up stalls suddenly brightened up after seeing him.
They quickly put down their work and ran over to collect the debt from Li Xiaochen.
"Brother Achen, this is your girlfriend's credit account from me. Look..."
"I also have an order here. Haha, Brother Achen, your girlfriend is so beautiful. Do you want to marry me first?"
"Don't argue, don't argue. Pay attention to your quality! You will line up when you get on the bus, but you won't when you ask for a debt? We are all civilized college students with quality. We must settle the bill in an orderly and dignified manner without losing grace and dignity!"
Facing these students who were chattering non-stop, Li Xiaochen couldn't bear it anymore. He took a big breath of Dantian Qi and shouted loudly: "Jiang Mi'er! Get out of here!"
After a while, Jiang Mier held a plate of French fries, pushed aside the crowd, and came to him with a smile: "Why did you come back?"
Li Xiaochen had a stern face and pretended to be angry: "Laugh! You still have the nerve to laugh? Look at the good things you have done."
"Aren't I helping you to make good friends? Most of the food is sent to the brothers and sisters who don't have enough to eat. This is called doing good deeds and accumulating virtue. It is said in "Tai Shang Inspiration Chapter": The husband desires the gods.
Those who want to become immortals should do one thousand three hundred good deeds. Those who want to become immortals should do three hundred good deeds. Cultivation of immortals not only focuses on cultivation, but also requires the help of good deeds. Otherwise, even if you achieve a golden body, you will only be wandering in the world.
The Sanxian."
Seeing how plausibly she spoke, Li Xiaochen couldn't help but laugh: "According to what you said, you did me a big favor?"
Jiang Mier nodded and said with a smile: "You know I'm good to you?"
"But you have to consider my financial ability. I don't have much money left in the bank!"
"Oh, you have to know that Bodhisattvas practice the Six Perfections, save themselves and others, practice both happiness and wisdom, and have three learnings. Among the six kinds of Prajna Tantra, giving is the first. To put it simply, giving is giving. Internally, it is greed, anger and ignorance.
Be slow and give up the five desires and six dusts. This is what we must learn. Besides, being stingy will lead to poverty. Don’t be so stingy. If you are willing to give up, you will get something if you give up. If you plant good causes, you will get good results in the future. You
Are you still afraid that you will have no money in the future? Giving money to the poor will not only cultivate good deeds, but also reduce your stinginess. You kill two birds with one stone, why not?"
Li Xiaochen lost his temper after being told by Jiang Mi'er. He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You have such a mouth. When talking about this kind of thing, you always do the same thing."
After saying that, he changed from his usual stingy style and generously took out the bills and distributed them to those who were asking for debt. He said to himself: Jiang Mier, Jiang Mier, you are really capable. Not only did you take out the money from my pocket,
, and also told me that I was so happy that I couldn’t refute it.
But strangely enough, after the money was dispersed, Li Xiaochen not only felt no heartache, but instead felt a strange sense of relief, as if what just came out of his body was not money that everyone loves, but feces that people can't avoid.
I don’t know if this counts as reducing my stinginess.
Seeing the crowd disperse, Jiang Mier said as if she was asking for credit: "I've been busy all morning and haven't eaten yet. You have to treat me to lunch."
"You've been busy all morning helping me lose money? And then you asked me to spend money to treat you to dinner?" Li Xiaochen was angry and funny, and simply threw his bank card to Jiang Mier, "You might as well withdraw all the money."
.Eat and drink all, and be healthy.”
"I don't want your broken card." Jiang Mier returned the card to him and curled her lips and said, "It's hypocritical and has no sincerity at all."
This was not the first time that Li Xiaochen had seen Jiang Mier behave like she was taking advantage of her and yet she behaved well.
He asked helplessly: "Why am I not sincere? I've already given you the card, what else can I do?"
Jiang Mier looked pitiful, as if she had been greatly wronged: "Where is your sincerity? If you really want to give me money, you should tell me the password. Only give me the card, not the
The password can only max out your card at most, but it will miss the pleasure of withdrawing all your savings in one breath. What the heck!"
"Ouch!" Li Xiaochen groaned, rubbing his temples with a headache, and almost collapsed: I shouldn't provoke you, Jiang Mi'er. Once your demonic nature shows up, you will bring disaster to the world.
Qin Yufei and Xiaobi looked at the pair of live treasures from the sidelines and found them very interesting.
"Let me treat you to lunch." Qin Yufei walked over, changed the subject, and came to Li Xiaochen's rescue.
Suddenly hearing Qin Yufei's considerate words, Li Xiaochen was so moved that he almost wanted to step forward and give her a firm hug to express his gratitude.
He has never been the face-saving type. He will not force himself to make money, and he will treat people to dinner if he has no money.
Originally, he had brought enough money and it was not a problem to buy a lunch. But after Jiang Mier made such a fuss, he was already strapped for money.
Now as long as someone is willing to pay, everything can be discussed easily.
Compared with face and belly, the latter is obviously more important.
Li Xiaochen was about to nod in agreement, but Jiang Mier came out halfway and ruined the good thing.
She carried a small rice pail in front of him and said with a smile: "Today you have to eat ten grains of healthy porridge to have a good pregnancy."
Holding this portable rice pail, Li Xiaochen was about to cry but couldn't cry: "Hey, isn't it? Can't you be accommodating? It's rare for someone to treat you today!"
Jiang Mi'er went over and pulled Qin Yufei, whispered a few words, and then said to Li Xiaochen: "If you want to give birth to a baby with incomplete parts in the future, just pretend I didn't tell you."
Qin Yufei looked at him apologetically and said, "Then I'll have to invite you another day."
Li Xiaochen was so depressed that smoke was coming out of his nostrils. He glared at Jiang Mier and panted heavily to express his dissatisfaction.
Ignoring his feelings casually, Jiang Mier, Qin Yufei, and Xiaobi turned around and left.
After walking a few steps, Jiang Mi'er suddenly turned her head and looked at Li Xiaochen, who was standing there in pain: "We are going to eat, shall we come together?"
