Cheng Xiaowei also came out of the bowl and chopsticks until he sat down at the dining table. Before Cheng's mother could come back to her senses, she was confused. She thought she was dreaming and stared at her son blankly.

"The food at home is good, and it's better than I do in a big city."

Cheng Xiaowei smiled sarcastically. The food was indeed pretty good. A bowl of fish, a bowl of braised pork, and a plate of fried water spinach. When he first went to Songcheng to go to college, he only brought five hundred yuan with him. After paying the tuition, the money he had only barely enough for one month's food expenses.

That month, he could only eat two meals a day, not in the morning, and had two steamed buns for lunch and dinner. The school cafeteria had free seaweed egg soup. Although a large pot of soup might have only one egg and no oil star, it was also a very rare delicacy for him.

Just after eating two steamed buns with free seaweed egg soup, he was his lunch and supper.

For a young man who is eighteen or nineteen years old, this amount of food is definitely not enough. He often wakes up in the middle of the night and runs 800 meters in physical education class. That is what he fears the most. Every time he finishes running, he feels like he has pulled out all his strength, and his eyes are getting dark and he can't stand steadily.

Afterwards, he went to find a change job, and his first job was Sister Li's coffee shop. To be honest, he was really grateful to Sister Li. He extended a helping hand in his most difficult time, solved his urgent needs, and even let him have a full meal.

But no matter how grateful he is, he has no affection for Sister Li. Moreover, when he manages the coffee shop, he also tried his best and thought of a lot of ideas to promote it. Sister Li's coffee shop was half-dead and was in a loss every day, so Sister Li didn't care.

However, under his management, the coffee shop suddenly became a leisure center for nearby college students and white-collar workers, and the business was booming, and it turned losses into profits in just two months.

Therefore, Cheng Xiaowei felt that the favor he owed to Sister Li would be almost done if he worked in a coffee shop for three years.

But even if he earns money from work, he is very saving in life. He only eats one meat dish a week, and he eats vegetarian food the rest of the time because he also needs to save money to pay tuition, information fees, and interpersonal communication between classmates in his class.

The counselor advised him to apply for poverty alleviation, but he refused. He didn't want to live under strange eyes. Maybe those classmates did not have malicious intentions, but he didn't want to be particularly concerned by classmates. Once he received the poverty alleviation, he would no longer be able to do whatever he wanted in the future. He would have countless pairs of eyes staring at him. He didn't like this feeling.

Therefore, he would rather suffer a little than apply for poverty subsidies.

Moreover, he cannot work at all times and cannot fail in his studies. He is in the top three in the class every semester final exam, which can guarantee a scholarship.

With scholarships and odd jobs, he barely finished college. He had never had a big fish and meat in the past four years. He couldn't bear to get a braised pork that costs 50 cents per serving of the canteen. After dating Chai Yuxiang, this girl always made delicious food and brought the school to improve his food, and his living standards rose a lot.

Cheng Xiaowei looked at the sumptuous dinner on the table with mocking. His mother always said that she could eat pickles every day at home and couldn't even eat eggs, but now the fish and meat fell from the sky?

No, it should have been given by his silly girl.

Twenty thousand yuan is enough for his mother and uncle to spend a while.

Cheng's mother realized that she felt so frustrated that she quickly explained, "The fish and meat were brought by your uncle, and she couldn't eat a few meals a year. Why did you suddenly come back?"
