The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 128
The night before, Qijiang drove home in a hurry, and the top priority was to find money. 1000 yuan is not a small amount, it is just in front of Zhu Juanjuan, embarrassed to bargain with Zhu Xingyuan who is a lion.

After he went to middle school, he had an average of ten yuan of pocket money per month, and he would also have hundreds of yuan in New Year's money during the New Year. Before going abroad, he had no other big expenses except buying books.Half a year after going abroad, almost nothing was moved.

Although it cost a lot of money to go to Tianjin, those were paid extra by my father, so they didn't count.Most of his money is in the bank, leaving only a little at home.

Confidently, Qi Jiang took out a money box from under the bed, and found a deposit receipt that he hadn't touched for a long time under the messy coins.

It’s okay if you don’t read it, but after reading it, you almost doubt your life: the date on the voucher has been changed to a month ago, and the amount of the deposit has shrunk severely.

The last time I went to the bank to make a deposit before going abroad, I obviously filled in 250 yuan. The money that I had repeatedly confirmed turned into [-] yuan under my nose, and a zero was erased.

Qijiang felt very strange: It must not be a thief. How can there be such a stupid thief who would come to pay back the bill after taking the money?
Could it be that someone in the family moved the money before he returned to China?Who is the one?

He stuffed the list into his pocket in bewilderment, and went directly to his father's study.

Mr. Gu was reading a confidential document under the lamp, and when he heard a noise, he quickly locked the document in a drawer, took out a newspaper and spread it on the table.

Seeing his son's unhappy face, he asked while drinking tea, "Second brother, what's the matter?"

Qijiang handed the certificate of deposit to his father, and expressed his doubts.

Mr. Gu frowned and thought for a while, then patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "When I got busy, I forgot to tell you. In August, your eldest brother will buy a shop with a friend, and the family doesn't have that much cash to turn around. So your mother moved your savings to help him in an emergency."

Qi Jiang exclaimed: "Father, it's been more than three months since I came back, and my eldest brother has never mentioned this matter!"

"The money earned by the elder brother also flowed into the family. Why are you yelling?"

Seeing that his father didn't take it seriously, he had no choice but to make it clear: "When can I pay it back? I'll use it urgently tonight!"

Mr. Gu noticed his son's abnormality, and felt vaguely uneasy.

"Second brother, why have you been in trouble every month since you returned to China this year! First, you fought with the police and went to the cell, which made me go to fish for it myself. Later, you scrapped a car. Now you suddenly want to take so much money. Is there a big problem?"

Qi Jiang didn't know how to speak, he lowered his head and thought aggrievedly: It's not that I want to cause trouble, it's all because of my third brother...

He finally knelt down in front of his father and took the blame again: "Father, I went to see Miss Zhu this afternoon, but Zhu Xingyuan repeatedly made things difficult for me, coaxing me up the tree and pulling down the ladder. I moved my hands in a fit of anger, but he didn't It’s a big problem, but I want to pay 1000 yuan.”

Mr. Gu was furious when he heard that his son was being bullied by the third child of the Zhu family.

However, he was more concerned about the development of the relationship between Qi Jiang and Miss Zhu. After drinking a sip of tea, he asked unhurriedly, "Did Juan Juan blame you?"

"She was fine and didn't say anything about me. It's just that I felt ashamed."

Mr. Gu put down the tea bowl, took a big envelope from the table, and helped him up from the ground.

"You don't need to ask the boss for money. I have some banknotes here, which are much easier to use than silver dollars. Time is tight, so hurry up."

Qijiang thanked his father and got into the car directly with the envelope containing the banknotes.

After the car was parked, he walked quickly to the gate of Zhu's house, and the sentries let him in this time.

Zhu Juanjuan knew that Qijiang was coming to give money at night, so he waited in the yard early, holding a bag in his hand.

She is upright and kind, and will not let him suffer for no reason.

After returning from Dongzhimen in the afternoon, I was not idle: I quietly took out all my salary, and went to the bank to withdraw my deposits over the years, a total of more than 800 yuan.

There was still a difference of over one hundred, and I planned to borrow it from a friend, but it was getting dark when I came back from the bank, so I could only make up an excuse and asked my mother for the money, and finally got it together.

Qijiang came in from the door and saw her immediately, so excited.

"Miss Zhu, I sent the indemnity here, is Xingyuan better?"

He handed over the envelope.She shook her head and refused to answer.

A heavy bag was stuffed into his hand.

"Just take this and give it to my brother. It's exactly one thousand, and it's all family money anyway."

Qijiang carried the bag dully and followed her into the living room.

She originally wanted to sit with him, but Mrs. Zhu called her away temporarily.

He stood alone, not feeling the slightest joy: Zhu Juanjuan considered himself an outsider.

Zhu Xingyuan was lying on the sofa reading a book.Seeing him bring money, greet him politely.

He put the purse on the tea table, exchanged some greetings and then left.

He drove home absent-mindedly, nearly hitting a utility pole several times along the way...

The next day I slept until the afternoon and didn't wake up, looking at the porcelain pillow and didn't want to get up.

Touching the porcelain doll's head, she sighed softly: "It would be great if you could speak. Tell me, what kind of boy does your master like? It's also good to remind me in the dream!"

He Shi'an had already returned home from school, the first thing she did was to call Qi Jiang.

When she heard the middle-aged man's voice over there, she was naturally nervous: "Could it be Qilan's father?"

Unfortunately this time, Mr. Gu got off work earlier than usual. When he heard the ringing, he thought it was business, so he picked up the receiver and answered it.

But the people over there didn't say a word, making him think it was an anonymous call, and hung up with a "snap".

She hesitated for a while, dialed the number again, and boldly said, "Hi, I'm looking for Mr. Gu Qijiang."

Mr. Gu only heard a female voice, and he only spoke to Zhu Juanjuan once, so he thought it was her calling to find his son.

"Is it Juanjuan? Wait a minute, I'll call my second child."

He Shi'an knew that the other party had misunderstood, so she made mistakes without explaining.

Qijiang was talking to the porcelain doll on the bed, when he suddenly heard his father knocking on the door: "Second brother, don't get up yet! Zhu Juanjuan's call is coming!"

He quickly got up, got dressed within a minute, opened the door and ran.

Mr. Gu planned to create a good environment for his son to make phone calls, so he consciously went for a walk in the garden.

He leaned closer to the receiver and called "Miss Zhu" several times, but the other party kept laughing over there.

"Brother, I'm Shi'an. Qilan needs a graduation certificate urgently. She said that Fifth Sister took it. Please take it quickly and send it to school."

Qi Jiang put down the phone and ran directly to the residence of his sisters.

Gu Xiaoxiao and Gu Yiyi just came home from school and were playing on the swing under the tree in front of the room.

Looking at the wild geese flying across the sky, Xiaoxiao said to herself, "Fifth sister, do you think third brother will come back for the New Year?"

Yiyi hugged the swing frame, "Sister, you keep talking about the third brother every day, whether you come back or not depends on him. It's not that we can expect him to come back just because we think about him."

　Have a great weekend, babies, and have a beautiful day!
