Chapter 1895 Eat Better than Me in the City

Cheng Xiaowei also came out with bowls and chopsticks, and went straight to sit down at the dinner table. Cheng's mother hadn't recovered yet, her mind was in a daze, thinking she was dreaming, she just stared at her son in a daze.

"The food at home is good, better than what I eat in big cities."

Cheng Xiaowei smiled sarcastically. The food was really good. A bowl of fish, a bowl of braised pork, and a plate of fried water spinach. When he first went to Songcheng for college, he only brought five hundred yuan with him. The money is barely enough for a month's food expenses.

During that month, he could only eat two meals a day, no breakfast, two steamed buns for lunch and dinner, and free seaweed and egg soup in the school cafeteria. Although a big pot of soup may only have one egg and no oil, but For him, it is also very rare and delicious.

With the free seaweed egg soup, after eating two steamed buns, it is his lunch and dinner.

For a ten-year-old boy, this meal is definitely not enough. He often wakes up hungry in the middle of the night, and he has to run 800 meters in physical education class. It was as if all the strength had been drained from his body, his eyes turned black, and he couldn't even stand still.

Afterwards, he went to find odd jobs, and the first job was in Sister Li's coffee shop. In all honesty, he was really grateful to Sister Li for helping him in his most difficult time, solving his urgent needs, and letting him eat enough meal.

But he is grateful, he has no feelings for Li Jie, and when he manages the coffee shop, he does his best and thinks of a lot of ideas for publicity. Originally, Li Jie's coffee shop is half dead, and it is in a state of loss every day. Sister Li doesn't care either.

However, under his management, the coffee shop suddenly became a leisure center for nearby college students and white-collar workers, and the business was booming, turning losses into profits in just two months.

Therefore, Cheng Xiaowei felt that the favor he owed to Sister Li would be more or less repaid by working in a coffee shop for three years.

But even if he earns money from a part-time job, he is very economical in life. He only eats meat dishes once a week, and the rest of the time he is a vegetarian, because he has to save money to pay tuition fees, materials fees, and interpersonal relationships with classmates. Contacts require money.

The counselor advised him to apply for a poverty allowance, but he refused. He didn’t want to live under strange eyes. Maybe those classmates didn’t mean anything malicious, but he didn’t want to be paid special attention by his classmates. Once he got the poverty allowance, he would never be able to spend money again If you do whatever you want, there will be countless pairs of eyes staring at him. He doesn't like this feeling.

Therefore, he would rather suffer himself than apply for poverty subsidies.

Moreover, he can't work part-time all the time, and he can't fall behind in his studies. In the final exam of each semester, he is always in the top three in his class, so that he can guarantee a scholarship.

Relying on the scholarship and the money from odd jobs, he barely finished college. In the past four years, he has never had a big meal. Even the braised pork at the cafeteria cost 50 cents. The girl always cooks delicious food and brings it to school to improve his food, so his living standard has improved a lot.

Cheng Xiaowei looked at the sumptuous dinner on the table mockingly. His mother always said that he ate pickles every day at home and couldn't even eat eggs, but now the fish and meat fell from the sky?

No, it should be given by his silly girl.

Twenty thousand yuan is enough for his mother and uncle to squander for a while.

Only then did Cheng's mother come to her senses, she panicked, and quickly explained, "Your uncle brought the fish and meat, and you can't eat a few meals throughout the year. Why did you come back suddenly?"
