Ning Youguang quickly heard a "ding" from her phone, indicating a new ssage.
She took it out and looked:
"[Bank of China] Account ending in 4134 transferred 1,000,000.0 yuan to your account ending in 4144 at 19:41 on April 30. Anyone asking for a verification code is a scamr, do not give it to them!"
"Brother, I have money." Ning Youguang chuckled.
Recently, for reasons unknown, Ming Chao always found various excuses to send her money.
"You can never have too much money." Ming Chao picked up his chopsticks again and slowly continued eating.
He was handso, had a good deanor, and even ate gracefully.
But what he was actually thinking was:
"How much can a teacher earn?"
"I should transfer more later."
"Even another million might not be enough?"
"Yes, you should take more money when going abroad." Ning Yi also took out his phone and made so transactions.
"[Bank of China] Account ending in 5133 transferred 1,000,000.0 yuan to your account ending in 4144 at 19:43 on April 30. Anyone asking for a verification code is a scamr, do not give it to them!"
"..." Ning Youguang.
"Youyou, just accept it. It’s only right for Dad and Brother to give you pocket money. Since it’s not often you go abroad, make sure to shop to your heart’s content. If you see sothing you want to buy in Boston, just get it, don’t save." Ming Jinxin.
"Mom, doesn’t Sister have money? When we get ho, give my New Year’s money, and I’ll bring it to her in the United States." Ning Youyu.
As soon as he said this, Ning Yi and Ming Chao’s faces changed.
"What’s this about having no money?" Ning Yi said with a puzzled look.
Without saying anything, Ming Chao began preparing to transfer more money on his phone.
Ning Youguang hurriedly stopped him: "Brother, I wasn’t serious when I said that to Xiaoyu this afternoon."
Ming Chao was skeptical: "You really do have money?"
"Really, I have money. Just recently Auntie introduced to a client, and Mr. Xia was very generous, paid well for the consultation."
Only then did Ming Chao frown and continue eating.
After discussing his daughter’s overseas trip,
Ming Jinxin continued: "I plan to let Xiao Zhang go."
Xiao Zhang was the young housekeeper at ho.
"What happened?" Ning Yi said in surprise, "Didn’t you say her skills were quite good?"
"Yes, indeed." Ming Jinxin nodded, "Her cooking is better than Aunt Liu’s, she can make both Chinese and Western cuisine, all sorts of dishes. She can make anything I ask for, and also makes things I don’t ask for."
"Then why do you want to let her go?" Ning Yi was puzzled.
"Our family eats dumplings a few tis a week, right? Sotis when there’s leftover dough, I let her take it ho. Sotis if there’s leftover filling, I do the sa. But recently, I found out she started taking so dough and filling ho on her own initiative, without asking. This approach, I find a bit awkward, I can’t understand..."
"Good skills but poor character, not employable." Ning Yi understood.
After that,
Ming Jinxin concluded: "These days, finding a good worker is really hard."
...
On the day of departure,
Ning Youguang went to Professor Yu’s house to pick her teacher up for the airport, and upon arriving, found her senior, Chen Yifan, already waiting there.
Seeing them arrive, Chen Yifan took their luggage: "Professor, junior, there’s still another hour before boarding. Let’s go to the lounge for a bit."
Professor Yu agreed, and the three of them headed into the lounge to rest.
Ning Youguang went to get so water for Professor Yu.
"What would you like to drink, Senior?" she asked casually.
Both she and Professor Yu were in the habit of carrying thermos cups whenever they went out; they carried them everywhere daily.
Chen Yifan, she often saw him drinking sodas.
"I’ll have water too, there are cups by the water dispenser." Chen Yifan stood up and went with her to the dispenser.
While waiting for the water, Ning Youguang smiled and said:
"We’re drinking water; you don’t have to join us."
Chen Yifan’s ears turned a bit red, "Drinking water is good. I should cut down on sodas and reduce my sugar intake."
"Can you quit cola?" Ning Youguang teased.
Drinking soda was one of Senior Chen’s few pleasures.
"I can quit." Chen Yifan paused, took a sip of the warm water from the dispenser, "The dicine you prescribed last ti was great, I hardly get acne now, thanks."
"I noticed, and I know you’ve been following the doctor’s orders." Ning Youguang smiled with her lips slightly pursed.
When the senior and junior returned to the lounge with their water, they saw Professor Yu wearing glasses again, going through so materials. "Weren’t you taking a rest, Professor? Why are you reading materials again?" Ning Youguang handed him his water. "It’s hard to sleep in this kind of place, I might as well review so materials." Professor Yu took the thermos cup and handed the materials to her, "Read these too, and feel free to discuss anything you don’t understand with , no need to feel anxious."
"I’m not anxious, Professor."
"Here, try these." Professor Yu took out two packs of cookies from a bag beside him and gave one each to Ning Youguang and Chen Yifan. "These are prepared by your grand-teacher before leaving, saying two pieces during long etings could replenish energy. Try them."
Unexpectedly fed with dog food.
Ning Youguang and Chen Yifan exchanged a glance, then rely drank water and silently nibbled on the cookies.
Despite being a bit sweet, they were quite tasty.
Seeing his two apprentices enjoying the food, Professor Yu was pleased, smiling with his eyes: "When I was young, my mother had no milk for , and so I never liked drinking cow or goat milk, even the sll now makes nauseous. What I ate the most growing up was cookies soaked in water. No matter what kind of cookies, they had to be soaked in water. Watching them beco white and plump in the hot water, and eating them spoonful by spoonful felt delicious. Even now it’s my nightly snack, prepared by your grand-teacher, served in small bowls and eaten with a small spoon, using different kinds of cookies, all I do is eat."
