Quick Transmigration: Can This Kind of Scum Become the Chosen One?

Chapter 231 Childhood Sweetheart, Female Educated Youth 15

Another month has passed.

This time, Wang Jianguo directly pulled Bai Chenggong aside and said he wanted to go out to eat.

"Bai Chenggong, are you still chopping wood today? We've already prepared so much firewood, it's time to take a break."

"I'm not cutting anything today; I'm planning to take a break today."

Bai Chenggong is in a good mood today.

Today is payday, because it's the day we get paid every month.

"It's great that you're finally going to take a break."

How about we go out to eat today? You know, it was supposed to be your turn to treat us the month before last.

As a result, you were busy with the autumn harvest and chopping firewood, and you never had any time.

We agreed to meet once a month.

"Since you're free today, you've got to treat us to a good meal."

As Bai Chenggong listened to Wang Jianguo's words, the smile on his lips gradually faded.

Wang Jianguo said he'd treat us, so this time it's his turn to treat us?

So the dinner was a three-person rotating event?

He wants to invite both of them?

Wang Jianguo's idea was to have the three of them take turns inviting someone once a month.

That means you have to invite them four times a year.

These two young masters can't be fed a bowl of noodles that costs just a few cents.

Thinking back to the last time I ordered it, it cost four yuan in one go.

It will cost sixteen yuan this year.

Sixteen yuan, and it was all gone just like that.

Bai Chenggong recalled what his mother had said when she gave him thirty yuan.

“Success, go to the countryside. There are crops grown in the fields there, so you don’t need to spend any money.”

Unlike here, everything costs money.

As long as you work hard, you'll have enough work points to eat by yourself. If you can't finish them, you can send some home.

This thirty yuan is just for emergencies; you'll basically never need it.

These sixteen yuan were more than half of the thirty yuan.

"Bai Chenggong, what are you thinking about? I'll go get Gu Jianhua, let's set off now."

Wang Jianguo was excited to go find Gu Jianhua.

We can't let the mealtime be delayed.

"Wait a minute," Bai Chenggong called out to Wang Jianguo.

"Oh, what are we waiting for? Let's eat first, and we can talk about other things later."

Wang Jianguo was only thinking about getting to dinner as soon as possible.

Wang Jianguo went to find Gu Jianhua.

Bai Chenggong reached out to grab Wang Jianguo, but couldn't grasp anything.

How to do?

He has no money, and more importantly, no tickets. How is he supposed to order food at a restaurant?

If he actually arrives at the restaurant but has no money or tickets to order food, what will Gu Jianhua and Wang Jianguo think of him?

What will the people in the restaurant think of him?

Jiang He returned from outside, pushing her bicycle with things hanging on it.

Bai Chenggong stepped forward and stopped Jiang He.

"Jiang He, can you do me a favor? Jiang He, don't go yet, I really need your help with something very important right now."

"what's up?"

"Um, I'd like to borrow some food coupons and meat coupons from you. I really need them urgently. Can you lend them to me today? I'll write home later and ask them to send them to me. I'll definitely pay you back then."

"No."

"Jiang He, just lend it to me for a moment. You clearly have some, why won't you lend it to me?"

"I don't want to lend you the money. If I do, can I even pay it back? If I lend it to you, I'll have nothing left for myself. Why should I lend it?"

"Jiang He, please lend me this for the sake of our childhood friendship. I promise I'll pay you back."

"Unfortunately, I don't believe your assurances. Move aside, or I won't be polite."

Bai Chenggong was startled by Jiang He's gaze and involuntarily took a step back.

"Bai Chenggong, let's go."

Gu Jianhua and Wang Jianguo have been released.

Gu Jianhua pushed the bicycle onto the platform.

"Bai Chenggong, Wang Jianguo said you're treating us to dinner today, right?"

"Yes, it's my treat today. You've all treated me before, so this time it's my treat for you."

Bai Chenggong spoke loudly, deliberately letting Jiang He hear him; he wasn't the type to cheat.

He will reciprocate when others invite him to dinner.

If Jiang He lends him money, he will definitely repay Jiang He.

But Jiang He ignored her and pushed her bicycle back into the house.

"Okay, then let's ride bicycles there. How will you get there?"

"I... I'll walk over there."

"Let's go first, I'll go order the food later."

Gu Jianhua originally wanted Bai Chenggong to borrow Jiang He's bicycle.

But when Jiang He pushed the bicycle inside, it meant she didn't want to lend it.

So Bai Chenggong had no choice but to walk.

"I promised to treat you today, how can I let you pay?" Bai Chenggong quickly refused. Actually, he really hoped that Gu Jianhua would just say it didn't matter who paid, the important thing was that everyone had a good meal together.

"It's okay, let's go order first, you can give the money to Gu Jianhua later."

Wang Jianguo didn't want to have to wait for Bai Chenggong to arrive before ordering food and then wait for the food to arrive.

Of course, they should order first, so that everyone can eat as soon as they arrive.

Bai Chenggong nodded.

Should the money and tickets be given to Gu Jianhua?

If he didn't have a ticket and only gave Gu Jianhua money, Gu Jianhua should be able to understand.

Anyway, they can all tell that their family isn't that well-off.

He didn't even have a single ticket, let alone a hostage.

At worst, he'll just stop eating their food.

That way, he won't have to treat everyone.

If Jiang He continues to bring him food and other necessities as before, then he might have the confidence to do so.

But for now, this is the only way.

When Bai Chenggong arrived at the restaurant, Wang Jianguo had already ordered the food.

"Gu Jianhua, how much is this meal? I'll pay you."

"It's not much, let's calculate it when we get back. Anyway, we need to figure out the food expenses for three months."

Seeing Gu Jianhua's response, Bai Chenggong didn't say anything more.

Bai Chenggong ate to his heart's content at today's meal.

Eat whatever is expensive.

This is all his money, so we can't let it go to waste.

Thinking back, he only dared to eat a little bit before saying he was full.

This time, we have to eat our money's worth.

"Bai Chenggong, did you come over here? Are you starving? Come on, have some more."

Wang Jianguo saw that Bai Chenggong was eating very quickly, and it seemed that he was really starving.

After finishing their meal, Gu Jianhua and Wang Jianguo rode their bicycles back home.

Bai Chenggong walked back behind.

Bai Chenggong was stuffed, but he really liked the feeling; the feeling of having a full stomach was wonderful.

Back to the educated youth settlement.

Gu Jianhua had already taken out his ledger and was doing the accounting.

Bai Chenggong touched the money in his pocket.

This time, his wages definitely won't cover his expenses.

That meal just cost four yuan.

I don't know how much money I'll need to spend this time.

Bai Chenggong has decided that after this, he will no longer participate in their banquets.

"Gu Jianhua, I don't have any tickets. If you need them, I'll write home and ask my family to send me some."

"It's alright, it's just a few tickets, no need to go to all that trouble. If you don't have any tickets, just give me two more dollars."

Gu Jianhua waved his hand dismissively.

"Bai Chenggong, you owe me twenty yuan last month."
