Han Lu took out the last bit of noodles they had left and prepared to cook noodles.
Finally, Xiaofan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "No more, no less, just enough for one month's rent!"
Han Lu also breathed a sigh of relief. At least, on New Year's Eve, she no longer had to be kicked out by the landlord to live on the road.
However, before Han Lu's smile spread, the fire for cooking noodles suddenly went out - they ran out of liquefied gas
After Xiaofan came back after paying the rent, he didn't know how to go back to the house to face Han Lu. After paying the rent, the two of them didn't even have a penny on them, they couldn't replace the liquefied gas, and they couldn't continue making lunch.
Thinking of a grown man who couldn't even solve the problem of eating, Xiaofan couldn't help but despise himself in his heart. He wanted to call the colleagues he met when he was working and see if he could borrow some. Sadly, he didn't even have the phone bill.
there is none left
But he knew the addresses of several people in Jingdong City, so he couldn't ride to them in the afternoon to borrow some snacks. He thought, and walked back to the basement step by step.
"Eat quickly." What surprised Xiaofan was that Han Lu had cooked the noodles and put them into a bowl.
"Isn't there no liquefied gas?" Xiaofan asked, looking at the liquefied gas tank.
"The noodles were almost cooked. I shook the liquefied gas tank and they burned it for a while, just in time to finish the rice." Han Lu brought a large bowl of noodles to Xiaofan in front of Xiaofan.
He is thin, but the less money he has, the bigger his appetite seems to be. He can almost eat two large bowls at every meal.
Looking at the young and beautiful Han Lu, Xiaofan was a little heartbroken. How could such a beautiful girl, like a flower, suffer like this? No, I must find a way to raise some money in the afternoon! Xiaofan made a decision at the same time.
Determination, making up at the same time
He told a lie to comfort Han Lu, "Lulu, don't worry, I remembered that one of my colleagues lent me some money, and he just said that he would pay me back in the next few days. I will just go to him in the afternoon to get it. Then we will definitely be able to
Support until you make money”
"Really?" Han Lu seemed to be relieved. She knew the situation at home very well. The firewood, rice, oil and salt at home were all empty. It was no wonder that every time they bought something, they were reluctant to buy more for fear of taking up too much.
More cash
"Of course" Xiaofan tried his best to make his tone as relaxed as possible, "I lent it to him when I first paid his salary. I said he would pay it back in a few days. It's been almost a month."
"That's great, it's just in time for emergency." Xiaofan's words gave Han Lu reassurance. These two helpless students had no money for one meal and would starve for the next meal. Han Lu thought, Xiaofan would lend it out.
I definitely don’t have much money, and I have to find a job quickly. I can’t choose any more, as long as I can get the money quickly.
The two of them ate noodles and drank some noodle soup. Han Lu was at home looking at the recruitment column in the newspaper, while Xiaofan went out on his bicycle to ask for money.
Xiaofan's lie seemed to have coaxed him, as if someone was really waiting outside to pay him back, so he set off on his bicycle with confidence.
Xiaofan walked along the road aimlessly. It was only then that confusion came to his face: "Who should I ask to borrow some money?" Originally, he did not have a good relationship with those colleagues, and he rarely interacted with him.
When people come and go, it's a question of whether they can find them. If you find them, it's another question whether you're too embarrassed to open your mouth to borrow money. If you open your mouth, whether they are willing to borrow money is another question.
