Chapter 52: Five Cents
The fragrance of lotus silk cakes kept getting into her nose, Wu Mei's stomach screamed more happily, and her mouth was flooded with saliva, where could she still hold back, and ran over to Langtang.
"Auntie, here are two oil lamps."
The big girl of the fried cake was chubby, her face was full of the vicissitudes of time, but she looked very kind, she heard the sweet voice of the little girl, and then saw that Wu Mei was so beautiful, and smiled more kindly.
"Take it, be careful of the burn, two dime and a half cent."
The aunt took the cut old newspaper wrapped in cake and handed it to Wu Mei, the oil soaked the newspaper transparently, and the lead words became clearer, Wu Mei couldn't wait to take a big bite, pulled out a few thin white silks, the wind blew, the silk stuck to the nose, itchy, Wu Mei couldn't help but be happy.
"It's delicious, Auntie, I'll give you money."
Wu Mei smiled and took out the money from her pocket, she remembered that she had a small treasury of two dimes, but her smile was stagnant before her hand reached into her pocket, why was there only one left?
Undaunted, he turned all the bags on his body upside down, and there was still only a dime, and a man and a woman side by side on the coin looked into the distance with a smile, and the words written next to it were 'one corner', not 'two horns'.
"Auntie, I'm ...... I'm not going to give you back a ......."
Wu Mei looked at the two cakes that had been bitten by herself, and the following words were really faceless, she lowered her head in shame, and didn't dare to look at her aunt, why didn't she check the money in her pocket in advance?
It's a shame and a big deal now!
"It's okay, you can take it and eat it, you don't have to give money." The aunt is very talkative, looking at Wu Mei with a smile, she can see at a glance that Wu Mei is not the kind of child with a two-skinned face, and she is not a person who wants to eat white food.
"I have a dime, this money is for you, I still owe you five cents, I will give it to you tomorrow."
Wu Mei put a dime in the money box and made a guarantee very seriously, aunt, she earns all the hard money, and she can't owe the five cents.
The aunt glanced at the ill-fitting old clothes on Wu Mei's body, and said with a smile: "You don't have to give the five cents, it's enough." ”
"Aunt Xu, what's going on?"
Mei Shuhan walked over, pushing a very dilapidated bicycle, the schoolbag in the front basket was washed white, and there were many patches, but it was very clean and tidy, just like the owner of the schoolbag, he always maintained a neat appearance.
Wu Mei hurriedly lowered her head, how could Mei Shuhan be on this street, he should have gone home another way, could it be that she remembered it wrong?
"Meimei, why haven't you come home yet? What about the moon? Isn't she with you? ”
Mei Shuhan was very surprised to see Wu Mei, and asked a series of questions, Aunt Xu saw that Mei Shuhan knew the little girl, so she smiled and told Wu Mei about the five cents, and asked Mei Shuhan to persuade Wu Mei to go home quickly.
"I'll pay the five cents for Meimei, Aunt Xu, you take the money."
Without saying a word, Mei Shuhan took out a five-cent note from his body and threw it into the money box, Aunt Xu and Wu Mei shouted at the same time: "I don't need you to give money." ”
"Book Cold...... Brother, thank you, I can't ask for your five cents. ”
Wu Mei called out Brother Shuhan with difficulty, her mouth was bitter, although she didn't hate Mei Shuhan, but as long as she thought that he had partnered with Wu Yue to deceive her for ten years, her heart hurt terribly, and she didn't want to have any more entanglements with Mei Shuhan, not at all.
The most important thing is that she knows that Mei Shuhan's family background is very poor, and this five cents may be his day's food money, and she is even more unlikely to ask for it.
