Warm sunlight passed through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the library and fell on Nancy Feng's body, making her long, silky hair and thick eyelashes seem to be coated with a layer of light gold.

She sat upright, upright, quiet, and well-behaved.

Clamping a corner of the page with her slender fingers, she turned the pages gently, her smart eyes full of purity.

After reading this page, she pinched a shrimp cracker and put it in her mouth, making a clicking sound, and then continued to turn to the next page.

After repeating this cycle several times, the packaging bag containing shrimp crackers gradually became empty.

It wasn't until Nancy Feng took action again that she realized that this was the last piece, so she looked up at John Qin.

"I won't eat, you can eat it all."

Nancy Feng's eyes flashed with joy, he picked up the last piece and ate it into his mouth, then turned to the next page.

John Qin stared at her for a long time, feeling that Nancy Feng was indeed not joking with him.

She really agreed to borrow the money.

But why does he feel so absurd?

Don't you need to make an IOU?

Even if it doesn't work, you should ask me what to do and when to pay back the money.

John Qin has the soul of a thirty-eight-year-old uncle. A pure creature like a high school student should be able to see through it at a glance, but he really can't understand Nancy Feng's operations.

But this is normal. He had never been in contact with a rich woman before his rebirth, so it's not surprising that he doesn't understand.

Maybe rich women are like this.

At 4:30 in the afternoon, Nancy Feng suddenly put the bookmark into the book, stood up, smoothed down his skirt, and put the book back on the bookshelf.

She leaves on time at this time every day, and it seems that the access control is very strict.

But this time, before going out, Nancy Feng paused for a moment, then turned around and waved goodbye to John Qin.

It's not that cold...

John Qin watched her leave, then turned to look out of the huge floor-to-ceiling window. Through the glass, he could clearly see the black Bentley parked downstairs.

The driver, wearing white gloves, had already opened the door and was waiting respectfully, while the bodyguard stood on the side of the door with a serious and alert expression.

Nancy Feng walked out of the library quietly, got into the car without saying a word, and disappeared into the streets before dusk with the roar of the engine.

"Golden House and Yan Ruyu are actually the same person."

...

"I feel a little hungry suddenly. Let's go home first."

John Qin picked up the "Soft Rice Guide" and put it back on the bookshelf, rode back to Hongrong Home on Beier Road, and bought a drawer of xiaolongbao at the gate of the community.

Today is Wednesday, a working day.

Ms. Yuan Youqin is a staff member of the government guest house, and Mr. John Zhenghong works in the Health Bureau, so there should be no one at home now, so he can only buy a small steamed bun to make do.

However, after eating so much takeout and instant noodles in his previous life, he is no longer a vegetarian and doesn't have excessive requirements for the quality of his food.

What's more, this steamed stuffed bun shop tastes really good, with thin crust and big fillings. Ten years later, it even opened a branch.

John Qin picked up a bun from the plastic bag and took a bite. It was warm and moist, still the original recipe, and still had a familiar taste.

It's just that the weather is so hot now that I'm sweating after eating two.

John Qin tied up the plastic bag and planned to eat it at home.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the night came quietly.

Mr. John Zhenghong returned home carrying two plastic bags, changed out of his slippers, and sat down on the sofa.

There were beads of sweat on his forehead and he couldn't breathe evenly. He hurriedly called John Qin to pour him some water.

"Dad, where have you been? Why are you so tired?"

"Your mother said that the food in Nancun Market is cheap. I rode my bicycle for forty minutes and bought a bunch of them. They are all your favorites."

John Qin put the water cup in front of him: "Isn't it just a few cents cheaper? It's not hard enough. Is our family that poor?"

John Zhenghong took a sip of water and said with satisfaction: "This has nothing to do with poverty. You are going to college, and you have to marry a wife after college. There will be more places to spend money in the future, and there will be more places to save." Of course we have to save, but we can no longer spend it lavishly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door shaft creaked, and the door was pushed open again.

Ms. Yuan Youqin walked in with a shopping bag from a department store, her expression was overjoyed and she was humming a tune.

Seeing this scene, the two men couldn't help but look at each other.

"What did you buy?"

"Sister Xu from our workplace said that the department store's woolen coats were on sale for half price, and I got a big deal!"

John Zhenghong's eyes widened: "Wool coat? How much did you spend on it?"

Ms. Yuan Youqin showed a proud expression: "The original price was 888, but now it's only 488."

"Dad, is this what you said about spending money lavishly?" John Qin was shocked.

"You prodigal bitch, it's the dog days of summer, what kind of wool coat are you buying?"

"What do you know? If it wasn't the dog days of summer, the price wouldn't be reduced!"

John Zhenghong showed his majesty as the head of the family: "John Qin has finished the college entrance examination. After his grades are over, he has to buy wine and pay his tuition. There is a lot of money to spend."

Yuan Youqin changed her shoes and walked to the living room: "Aren't these my exact words? Also, did I ask you to go to the Nancun vegetable market?"

"Of course I went. I did the math and found that the food at Nancun Market is much cheaper than our salt shop downstairs. I saved more than 20 yuan this time."

"Then we saved three hundred and two today?"

John Zhenghong's mind didn't turn around for a long time: "Where did that three hundred come from?"

Ms. Yuan Youqin picked up the shopping bag in her hand: "I used 488 to buy a coat originally priced at 888. Didn't I save another 300 yuan here and there?"

"Youqin, I have to talk about you. Your concept of consumption is obviously wrong."

"John Zhenghong, I've been married to you for so many years and I haven't bought any clothes. It's just a wool coat and you still blame me?"

John Qin watched happily from the side, feeling that this long-lost family dispute was heartwarming.

Dad is still in his prime, strong and strong, and his hair has not turned gray at the age of fifty-three. He has not secretly driven Didi to the point of fainting in the car just to earn a down payment for himself.

My biological mother is still young and loves beauty. She would go shopping in department stores if she had a little money. She didn’t even dare to buy meat because she was saving money.

This was definitely the happiest thing for him after his rebirth.

However, it was too mean for him to laugh while watching the show, and he quickly brought the trouble to himself, and received a blank stare from the couple.

"John Qin, why are you laughing? Do you also think I shouldn't buy this wool coat?"

John Qin suppressed the smile on his face: "Mom, I want to make a lot of money in the future. I will never let you buy outdated discounted clothes again, and I won't let my dad go to the vegetable market so far away."

Yuan Youqin's expression was slightly stunned, and his eyes instantly softened: "This is my good son. Don't be like your father, who picks and picks all day long."

"Where did I pick and search..."

John Zhenghong's voice was a little weaker, and he obviously lacked confidence. When he turned around, he found that his mother-in-law had opened the shopping bag, and the bag actually contained rolls of toilet paper.

"What's this?"

"The leader said that all the inventory in the guest house must be replaced, so I took it back. Do you think you are the only one who knows how to be thrifty?"

Yuan Youqin said angrily, turned around and entered the kitchen.

John Zhenghong was stunned, thinking to himself, you are just fishing for law enforcement!
