Rebel Demon King

Chapter 23 The Miser

In the afternoon, Cheng Jidong, Cheng Mo's uncle, returned to Changsha from Wuling with a small bag. It has been more than half a month, but the atmosphere at the dinner table is still very awkward.

On the beautiful Hangzhou gray marble dining table are fried pork with chili peppers, diced spicy chicken, braised beef brisket and a shredded potato. Compared to usual, today's dishes are quite rich. Except for the sound of the bowls and chopsticks colliding, it is very subtle. The sound of chewing, the restaurant was silent.

Cheng Mo is very accustomed to this. When he and Cheng Yongze eat together, they don't talk much.

But Cheng Jidong, who is as talkative as Huang Qiaoyun, has never been used to it. He often tries to find topics, such as caring about Cheng Mo's studies, or asking Cheng Mo if he has a favorite girl in school, and wants to get closer to Cheng Mo. Relationship.

However, Cheng Jidong is obviously not Cheng Mo's opponent, and he was quickly confused by Cheng Mo's "oh", "um", "ok", "no" and other simple and speechless answers. continue.

Today, Cheng Jidong started the awkward chat mode again, saying that his aunt Huang Qiaoyun bought him two new clothes in Wuling, and asked him to try it later, and asked Cheng Mo what he wanted to eat tomorrow. When he was holding chopsticks of shredded potatoes, Cheng Jidong took a chopstick to stir-fry meat with peppers and said to Cheng Mo, "Why do you always eat shredded potatoes, you have to eat some meat too"

Cheng Mo felt that his uncle was a little too diligent today, and if something went wrong, he would be a demon. He watched Cheng Jidong put a few slices of green peppers and two pieces of meat into his bowl, and said lightly, "I don't like spicy food. Eat whatever you want, and don't eat too much fatty food."

Cheng Jidong's hand froze in the air before he completely retracted it. He forced a smile and said, "Look at my memory, I forgot about such an important thing. I will feed the fish tomorrow."

Cheng Mo let out an "oh", held the chili flakes with chopsticks, rinsed them a few times in the water glass, and then put them in his mouth. He took another pair of chopsticks and put the rice together and chewed slowly. Cheng Mo eats very slowly. Be sure to chew all the food into soup before swallowing it.

Cheng Jidong watched Cheng Mo wash the peppers, put his chopsticks on the bowl and said, "Xiao Mo, there is something uncle needs to discuss with you."

Cheng Mo nodded.

Cheng Jidong said: "Uncle can't always run between Wuling and Xingcheng like this. The trouble is second. The main uncle still has business in Wuling. Do you think you will transfer to Wuling to study next semester?"

Cheng Mo knew that Cheng Jidong was a test, and its purpose was not to let him go to Wuling, but this matter could not be negotiated, so he replied with great certainty: "No, Wuling's medical level is too far behind that of Xingcheng, besides Xiangcheng. Ya's Doctor Du knows my situation very well, if something happens, I can still save you in Xingcheng, and it will be difficult to go to Wuling."

Cheng Jidong took a bite and said, "Yes, this is indeed a big problem."

Cheng Mo glanced at Cheng Jidong and said casually, "Cheng Xiaoyang should be admitted to high school, right? He has a wild temper, and auntie can't handle it alone. I also know that uncle is in trouble. Actually, it doesn't matter if I'm alone in Xingcheng. , My father went to the capital, and I lived here alone."

Cheng Jidong hurriedly shook his head and said, "How can I do that? Your father is a big heart. I can't leave you alone in Xingcheng and ignore it. If it really doesn't work, I will ask your aunt to sacrifice and ask her to stay in Xingcheng. Find a job, let's come to Xingcheng to take care of you. I've been looking at it these days. There is a store across the street for sale. There's nothing selling fruit around here. I'll open a small shop selling fruit. Pretty good business.”

Cheng Mo thought to himself: It is estimated that the uncle and aunt have already discussed it, and he is sure that he can't refuse.Coming to Xingcheng is just an excuse. The deep-seated purpose is naturally to use the money left by his father to make money.

All the money is now in Huang Qiaoyun's control, but when applying for the card, the card was issued in the name of Cheng Mo, and it was bound to Cheng Mo's mobile phone, so although the card was in Huang Qiaoyun, she only needed Chengmo will know when you withdraw money.

This was the result of what Cheng Mo insisted on at the time. Cheng Mo would not give in to things like money.

Although he knew his uncle's purpose, Cheng Mo, who was the ward, could only say: "Uncle and aunt can think about this matter for themselves. In general, the development of Xingcheng is definitely better than that of Wuling."

Cheng Jidong smiled bitterly and said, "The rest is easy to say, mainly because your aunt and I are coming over, and Xiaoyang will definitely come too. His study problem is not easy to solve! It is easy to handle it if you have a Xingcheng household registration."

Cheng Mo knew that the key point was coming, but he still said calmly: "The grades are very good, and they can also be admitted, such as our school."

Cheng Jidong sighed helplessly and said, "It's not that you don't know that your brother's grades are not as good as yours. If only he could be half as smart and hardworking as you!"

Cheng Mo did not speak.

Cheng Jidong hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly: "Actually, it's not impossible, Cheng Mo, you temporarily transfer your house to me and let your aunt and I transfer the account to Xingcheng first, so that the problem will be solved. ”

As soon as the words fell, Cheng Jidong was afraid that Cheng Mo would misunderstand, and said with a serious face: "Xiao Mo, uncle doesn't want your house, when we transfer the household registration, Xiaoyang graduates from high school and takes the university entrance examination, we will I'll transfer the house to you again."

Cheng Mo naturally couldn't agree to such a thing, he shook his head and said: "This will lose a lot of transaction tax, it's not worthwhile, why don't my uncle sell the house in Wuling, find a good location in Xingcheng, pay in installments to buy a new set, and then Let’s renovate a little and rent out the house, and use the rent to support the loan, what do you think of you, auntie and Xiaoyang living here with me?”

Cheng Jidong was a little stunned. He didn't expect Cheng Mo to come up with a countermeasure so quickly, and it was indeed a very feasible idea, but he never thought that Cheng Mo would answer him like this. She didn't have an answer ready, she opened her mouth to say something but didn't know what to say.

Cheng Mo ignored Cheng Jidong's dumbfounded expression and ate slowly by himself.

After a long while, Cheng Jidong said: "I'm afraid your aunt is reluctant to sell the house in Wuling! After all, where is our hometown, your aunt's parents are still there, and besides, your sister is still working at the Wuling Police Station. I can't just let her live in the dormitory." Cheng Jidong said a lot of words without a word, the point is that the house doesn't want to be sold, but in order to take care of you, we have to come to Xingcheng, so the household registration matter still has to be settled. You solve it here.

Cheng Mo swallowed the last mouthful of food, put down his chopsticks, and said slowly: "Uncle, if Auntie doesn't want to sell the house, it's not impossible. Where is the money my father left me? The pension issued by the Academy of Sciences is 110 yuan, and after deducting the half-month living expenses, there is still about 550 yuan. The down payment for the house can be paid from the middle, but the real estate certificate must add I can just give me an IOU under my name or the down payment. As for the uncle who wants to open a fruit shop, I will pay for the transfer fee, it can be regarded as a little compensation for my uncle taking care of me!"

Of the 110 million, 100 million is a pension from the Academy of Social Sciences, and 13 is a gift money received. Cheng Yongze's savings are only tens of thousands.

Cheng Jidong broke into a cold sweat and felt that his nephew was just like a shrewd adult. Where would the average high school student go so that you have no choice? It's a loss that you and your daughter-in-law have discussed it for two days. Although the goal can be achieved , but it seems that the process and results are completely different from what they thought.

Cheng Jidong didn't know if he agreed or not, then Cheng Mo whispered, "It's only two years before graduation, time really flies!"

Cheng Jidong was shocked and felt that he should not discuss with Huang Qiaoyun. He agreed first, chose the way of IOU, and bought the house.
This day, Chengmo brushed the questions until 10:30 in the evening. Before going to bed, he looked at the leaderboard. He barely maintained the advantage of more than 100 questions, which made Chengmo feel a little relieved. He can't help but care about the hundred learning points, now he has to save money to prepare for the summer vacation to Italy, and the summer vacation is only two months away.

Before Cheng Mo went to bed, he went to the Bai Wu Taboo Lu forum to read it. Lai Ji Nao pulled back his private message and left him a QQ number. Cheng Mo thought about it and planned to contact this La Ji Nao tomorrow at noon.
