Chapter 24 The Price of Conscience

There are not many large supermarkets in Hubei City. Only a few years ago did a Wanda store enter. Although Hubei City's per capita GDP ranks among the top three in the province, it is only average. Most people can't.

Disposable income is actually not high.

Coupled with the small number of people, it is normal for large shopping malls not to enter.

One of the larger supermarkets in the city is called Wanlian. After Su Xing and Tong Wangjun went out, they took bus No. 6, and after seven or eight stops, they arrived at Wanlian Supermarket.

"Let's put them together and divide them when we go back." Su Xing took a cart and said to Tong Wangjun, "Let's go buy clothes hangers, toothbrushes, toothpaste and the like first."

After shopping for about 40 minutes, I bought all the necessary daily necessities and some snacks. Su Xing bought some vegetables and meat, and then I went to the checkout counter with Tong Wangjun and prepared to check out.

"Why are you buying these things? Are you going to cook by yourself?" Tong Wangjun was a little surprised that Su Xing would buy vegetables and meat.

"Yeah, cook it yourself." Su Xing nodded, "Don't go out to eat either. We cook our own food, including fish and meat. It's much better than eating out."

"Do you have anything for cooking?" Tong Wangjun asked.

"It shouldn't be a problem if I borrow Sister Hu's kitchen." Su Xing said with a smile, "I've already bought so many things. I can't carry more pots and pans. I'll buy them next time."

Tong Wangjun picked out the items he bought from the shopping cart and put them at the checkout counter. Just as he was about to check out, a boy came from behind and handed the card in his hand to the cashier: "Her items will be added to my account."

Su Xing glanced at this person who suddenly appeared. He seemed to be a student, and he was probably a classmate of a senior high school. He actually had a bank card, and Su Xing was a little envious.

I am used to cashless payment, and now I feel a little uncomfortable with cash in my arms.

"Who are you? Do we know each other?" Tong Wangjun glanced at the boy.

"You are a freshman in the first year of high school. Your name is Tong Wangjun, right? I met you when you signed up, and I also knew that you are in class two and a transfer student." The boy smiled and said, "I am also a freshman in high school, and I am in class one.

, my name is Xu Heng, you bought these things and I will pay the bill."

"Why should I ask you to pay?" Tong Wangjun asked.

"Because...because..." Xu Heng hesitated for a long time, but did not come up with a specific reason.

"Because we are all classmates." Su Xing reminded kindly.

"Yes, because we are all classmates, there is no need to be so polite." Xu Heng glanced at Su Xing gratefully.

"Because of my classmates, that's why you want to help me check out?" Tong Wangjun glanced at Su Xing and then at Xu Heng, as if he wanted to make sure.

"Yes, that's the reason." Xu Heng nodded, "We all came to register today. We are all freshmen in high school. Now we meet in this supermarket. Since it is such a coincidence, you bought these things and I paid for them for you.

Come on."

"He is also a freshman in high school, and he just came to register today. He is also in this supermarket. Since we are all classmates, if you want to help me pay, you can also pay his bill by the way." Tong Wangjun pointed.

wake.

Xu Heng looked at Su Xing, then at Tong Wangjun, and was stunned for a long time.

"She's joking. You don't need your help to pay for mine. I can just pay it myself. You can just help her pay it." Su Xing smiled.

Tong Wangjun turned around and rolled his eyes at Su Xing: "If you don't let him pay, why do you want me to let him pay?"

"I'll pay, I'll pay, I'll pay for both of you." Xu Heng pointed at the salesperson, "Their items are all included in my account. Calculate the total cost and swipe the card directly."

"I'll do it myself." Tong Wangjun didn't let him go. He took out the money and gave it to the cashier. After giving the change, he took the things out the door.

"I'll do it myself." Su Xing also paid the bill, walked out of the supermarket, and walked quickly behind Tong Wangjun, "Give me the stuff, it's a bit heavy."

Taking the things from Tong Wangjun's hand, Su Xing looked back and said, "Xu Heng is catching up with me. It seems that he wants to give it to you. How about we wait for him for a while?"

"Are you interesting? Are you bored? If you want to go with him, just wait for him. Give me the things and I will go first." Tong Wangjun quickened his pace.

Passing by the bus stop, Tong Wangjun didn't stop. Su Xing shouted, "You don't want to take the bus anymore?"

"I'm not going to sit down anymore. You can sit down while I walk." Tong Wangjun said without looking back.

"Okay, then you walk slowly and I'll wait for the bus." Su Xing said, carrying the things into the bus stop, taking out a dollar, and waiting for the bus.

The public transportation in Hubei City is absolutely good. After more than ten years, the bus fare has only increased by 50 cents.

After waiting for the bus, I woke up and got on the bus and went back to my residence.

"Sister Hu, can I borrow your kitchen later? I bought some vegetables. There are too many things, and I haven't bought the pots and pans yet." Su Xing said to Hu Juan, who was cutting edamame at the door.

"Can you cook?" Hu Juan asked.

"I know a little bit." Su Xing nodded.

"You put the vegetables away and I will cook them later." Hu Juan said, "Aren't you in a hurry? I cut these edamame beans and sent them to others and then came back to cook."

"I'm not in a hurry, so there's no need to rush." ​​Su Xing gave the little girl an Alpine lollipop and carried the things upstairs.

Tong Wangjun hadn't come back yet. Su Xing put everything in his room and picked out the vegetables. The little girl appeared at the door.

"Why did you run up here?" Su Xing turned around and smiled at her.

"Mom asked me to come up and say thank you to big brother for the candy." The little girl peeled off the alps, but couldn't get them open for a long time.

"What's your name?" Su Xing walked over, took the candy from her hand, peeled it open and put it in her hand.

"Chen Ke." said the little girl.

Su Xing touched Chen Ke's head. In his previous life, he also had a daughter: "Let's go down and find mom."

Holding Chen Ke's hand and going downstairs, Su Xing squatted next to Hu Juan and helped cut the beans.

"I don't need your help, just go about your business." Hu Juan said hurriedly.

"School only starts in two days, there's nothing to be busy with." Su Xing said, "Sister Hu, didn't you grow your edamame at home?"

"No, but I also grow edamame at home. But who eats edamame and cuts so many at one time? I made it for a restaurant outside, so I can help earn some money to supplement the family income." Hu Juan said with a smile, "Canteen

Isn't there food? Why don't you eat in the cafeteria? You have to buy food and cook it yourself. How much does it cost?"

"It's okay." Su Xing smiled, "Actually, it's not much different."

He walked around the cafeteria in the morning. Regular meals in the cafeteria cost three and a half yuan, and better ones cost five yuan or even more. In fact, when he bought the food and cooked it himself, it was not necessarily much more expensive than eating in the cafeteria, and it was still edible.

good.

Su Xing actually had another meaning when he came back from shopping for groceries. He just wanted to get closer to Hu Juan, but he also had other plans.

After chatting with Hu Juan for a while while shearing beans, Su Xing probably also learned about Hu Juan's situation. She and Chen Ke were the only two people in the family. Chen Ke's father worked outside and only came back once a year.

Her parents-in-law left early, so Hu Juan took care of the children alone. She would occasionally help out at restaurants outside, preparing dishes or waiting for customers.

"The child is still young and can't do any other work. He can't walk far, so this is the only way." Hu Juan said.
