Chapter 8 (2/2)
Rather warm can't help but laugh: ”I don't think Dad means that.”
”What else does it mean?” Ning's mother hummed: ”his ears are soft and his hands are generous. Who doesn't like it? When he went out today, he didn't bring any copper money with him. I think it's not a good day to come here. He didn't come to me as soon as he came back? ”
Ning Nuan went to her side and put down the account book. He said, ”Dad is busy on business, and he won't go out drinking with other adults. Does this cost a lot?”
Ning mother picked up another account book and put it in front of her.
”You see, your father's expenses, I have all written down, you read to know.”
Ning warm never knew that she still had such an account book. She was stunned for a moment and even forgot to open it.
”Don't worry. I'll remember your father's, you and lang'er's. they don't spend much money on weekdays. Although lang'er likes to play, he doesn't spend as much as your father does.”
Listen to Ning mother said so, Ning warm curiosity immediately raised, she reached out to open the account book, from the first slowly began to remember.
Ning's mother didn't start bookkeeping from the beginning, but later she saw that her father's expenses were increasing, and she was unwilling to mention it, so she chose to write it down in the account book.
The account books have turned yellow, and the first one was many years ago. Ning's mother remembers every stroke clearly. It's not so much Ning Fu's account book as the expenses borne by the big house for the second room and the third room. Even the expenses of buying jewelry for Ning Qing are recorded in this account book. Ning warm study for a day, has been able to learn and use, quickly picked out the part of Ning father's separate expenses to see.
Ning's father can remember every expenditure clearly. Most of his expenses were for his two brothers, or for his nieces and nephews. Ning Yanting's business is busy, but his two younger brothers are not the same. They have low official positions and like to drink and play with friends on weekdays. But where can they afford their salaries and monthly regulations? The wife of the family is not Ning mother such a money doll, so every time is sent to call Ning Yanting to pay. Ningyanting is the most favorite two younger brothers, however, which what does not allow?
In comparison, Ning Lang today to buy a wren, tomorrow to buy a hairpin, has been considered very frugal.
Rather warm see more is frightened, after even, is unable to restrain oneself on the face of surprise.
Ning mother's tone is light: ”your father has always been so, you are not the first time to know.”
Ning warm is not the first time to know, but she is the first time to find that the two uncles know more than she did. On the account book, Ning father's expenditure is a large sum of money, but rarely spent on their own body.
She closed the account book and said firmly: ”Niang, you are right. Everything is up to you.”
In any case, when the money comes to my father's hand, it will benefit other people in the end. In the end, my father's quality of life will not decline. Even if my father's life is a little embarrassed, we can't let other people take advantage of it!In the study.
Sitting in his chair, Ning Yanting was worried about his daughter's marriage when he heard a rush of footsteps. After a while, someone opened the door of his study and interrupted his thinking.
Ning Yanting raised his head and saw his younger brother come in angrily.
”Big brother!” Ning Yanhai angrily said, ”why didn't you come to the restaurant to pay for me today? I took my friend with me. I said it was a treat. I called the boy to call you, but you didn't come. I lost my face in front of my friend
Ningyanting a fluster, hastily pacify a way: ”three younger brothers, you don't worry, you are good to say.”
”Big brother, can't you see people? I waited in the restaurant for an hour in the afternoon, but I didn't wait for you. ”
Ning Yanting frowned: ”I am busy with business in the afternoon, didn't I say it to him?”
Yes, I did!
But once upon a time, he sent someone over. Even if Ning Yanting couldn't come from his family, he would let the boy bring the money for the wine. Therefore, every time he sent the boy, he kept a good record of the amount of wine money.
But today is not the same, today not only people did not come, his boy also came back empty handed, half a liang of money did not come back.
Also with a word, said what inconvenient, let him pay for the wine first!
Ning Yanhai waited in the restaurant, but he couldn't wait for Ning Yanting to come over. However, he said that he would treat him, so he had to take out his private house and pay for the wine. You know, because he thought it was Ning Yanting who came to pay for the food, he was not stingy when he ordered. He called up all kinds of good wine and dishes, and finally took out a huge sum of money.
He didn't want Ning Yanting to have a wife who would make money. On weekdays, he only had a share of Gongzhong's salary and his own salary. His wife was haggard and reluctant to give him pocket money. He saved that private house for a long time. Now he spent it all at once, not to mention his pain.
Ning Yan Hai Qi rushed out: ”I don't have any money in my pocket. Even if you don't come, I'll let the boy come here with the money for wine. Because of you, I'm ridiculed by my friends today, and I'm losing my hair!”
Ning Yanting felt guilty.
”It's my fault. It's just that when I went out today, I didn't bring any silver with me, so I couldn't pay for you.”
Ning Yan sea Eye Bead son a turn, seem to have been pacified, on the face also is not originally so angry.
”In that case, I will not pursue it.” He said, ”I paid for the wine first, but the silver was used to buy Mr. Soseki's painting. Now the silver is gone. I'm afraid it's also...”
He hesitated to stop and looked at ningyanting hesitantly.
Ning Yanting felt guilty in his heart. His eyes touched the prayer in his brother's eyes. He nodded immediately and said, ”I'll buy it for you. Tomorrow I'll send someone to buy it for you.”
Ning Yanhai was satisfied.
He said, ”no more trouble for the elder brother. My younger brother can't wait to see Mr. Soseki's paintings. Why don't you give me the money? I'll buy it myself. It saves me time and effort, as well as a trip.”
Ningyanting again and again nodded: ”OK, do according to what you say.”
When he said that, he wanted to pay for it, but he put his hand into his sleeve and felt it empty. Then he remembered that he was penniless. Let alone Mr. Soseki's paintings, he could not afford to buy even a piece of paper.
Ning Yanting felt embarrassed.
He was a little embarrassed and said, ”wait till tomorrow I'll send the money in the morning. ”
Ningyanhai frowned, but did not say anything, only told him to remember, this just left.
As soon as he left, Ning Yanting did not dare to delay, so he went to find Ning mother in a hurry.
When he said his appeal, Ning's mother picked Suan Zhu, which collided with the abacus frame and made a bang.
She did not lift her eyes, directly refused: ”no to.”
Ning Fu is a fool at the moment.
