She rushed into the kitchen, spent a minute making boiled egg droplets, and added a piece of rock sugar.

"Drink this before leaving. The nutrition will make you angry."

In the past, when she was busy with work and had no time to eat, she would make a bowl of egg drop with boiling water and drink it, which not only ensured nutrition but also replenished water.

“Here’s my little life secret.”

Meng Yan saw her bringing something in front of him, and it was hard to refuse, so he took it and took a few sips.

How should I put it... sweet.

Meng Yan had never had such a simple breakfast before, and he finished the soup under Gan Qi's watchful eyes.

"Do you feel warm in your stomach?" Gan Qi asked with a smile.

Before leaving, she gave him another apple and said, "You can take this to the company to eat. Come on, Mr. Meng!"

She actually cheered him up.

When Meng Yan walked downstairs, he looked at the red apple in his hand. There was a feeling in my heart that I had never felt before.

For many years, he has been independent and living surrounded by people. He has never felt as stable as he does today.

Speaking of which, this is the first weekend after marriage, but the rhythm of my life has never changed.

The Rolls-Royce was waiting at the intersection where he parked last night, and the tall and strong driver opened the door for him.

Meng Yan glanced at his watch: "I'll finish the work this morning and I'm going to rest in the afternoon."

"Ok."

-

Although it was the weekend, Gan Qi was not idle at home. After having a simple meal, she also went to her work place.

It was another busy day as usual. Today Xixi had a rest and she was alone in the office.

When Gan Qi went downstairs at noon, he unexpectedly saw a familiar figure.

It was my aunt who came downstairs, and they happened to bump into each other.

Different from her attitude when we last met, my aunt today had a smile on her face.

"Auntie."

"Qiqi, I went to buy groceries nearby and came to see how you are doing."

"When will you take me and your uncle to the house you rent, meet the young man, and talk about marriage by the way."

Gan Qi felt awkward: "He has to go to work today. Let me discuss the exact time with him."

"You young people have no plan, so don't put it off all the time. By the way, how is your business lately?"

Seeing the smile on her face, Gan Qi realized that she was definitely not "just passing by".

"Auntie, what's the matter with you?"

Gan Qi had a strong hunch: She might come to borrow money.

Because this expression is so familiar to her.

Every time my aunt smiles, there are countless wrinkles on her face.

Gan Qi thought to herself: Didn't I just give her a sum of money a few days ago and spend it all so quickly?

Auntie smiled: "Gan Qi, our refrigerator is broken. You know that home appliances are very expensive nowadays. I want to buy a new one for your uncle, but I don't understand."

Hearing this, Gan Qi sighed slightly in his heart. If the refrigerator was broken, they would have to find it, as if he should pay for it as a matter of course.

"Auntie, I'm about to start a new family and I don't plan to go back to live there. My uncle's pension and brother-in-law's salary are handed over to you every month. Isn't it enough to buy a refrigerator?"

"I've been spending a lot of money lately." My aunt's face looked a little unnatural.

She looked up and down Gan Qi's clothes and said, "You look good. Is your business good this month?"

"No way. The client's account from last month has not been settled yet. I have a lot of money to spend now. Life is tight. I have to spend money on renting a house, water and electricity."

My aunt heard that she was also crying about poverty, "Your partner works in a big company and his salary should be very high! He will definitely live a good life in the future."

Ha ha.

What's the use of saying this? Gan Qi has always understood her aunt's character and she is a snobbish person.

"What I gave you last time was the last living money in my card. Now I'm in a hurry to restock the goods."

Aunt: "You are young and cry miserably all the time. Don't you know how difficult it is for your aunt? You have to take care of a whole family."

She never took much care of her. Her niece Lele's daily life was taken care of by her cousin. She used to do all the housework. Apart from going out to play cards with a few neighbor women, her aunt only watched TV.

Gan Qi would not be confused by her words, so she stepped forward and pulled her aunt up: "Have you eaten? Let's go get something to eat. Refrigerators are not expensive now. When my brother-in-law pays his salary, I will buy a good one for you!"

"Oh, I've eaten." Auntie didn't come over to eat with her.

Gan Qi: "But I haven't eaten yet. If you come over just in time, I'll treat you to a nice meal."

The two of them pulled inadvertently, and the bag Gan Qi was carrying suddenly flipped over, and the tiny things inside fell to the ground.

A tissue bag, a small comb, a keychain, and a black bank card.

My aunt looked down at the strange color of the bank card: "Which bank is this from? I have never seen this pattern before."

Gan Qi remembered that this was the secondary card that Meng Yan had given her a few days ago, saying it was for living expenses, and then her heart tightened: she almost forgot about this card.

My aunt's eyes lit up, "Look at you, you say you have no money, but you still apply for so many cards."

"This is Mr. Meng's card. It only contains some living expenses. I can't touch it."

"What's yours and mine...we're already a family, just give it to you and spend it!"

Gan Qi lowered his head and picked up everything. He wanted to put the card away, but his aunt quickly took the card into her hand.

"How much money is in it?"

"It's not much, just one or two thousand for living expenses. This is the food money for the two of us."

Even though she said it so bluntly, my aunt still didn't seem to hear her: "Can you see if it's enough to replace the refrigerator?"

Gan Qi was speechless: "Auntie, the refrigerator is a big item, you'd better ask uncle for their opinion."

"Look, you just moved out a few days ago and you treat us like outsiders. Anyway, my uncle and I have raised you for so many years." Auntie's small eyes were as bright as mung beans.

"There happens to be an ATM at the intersection. Let's go and see how much money is there?"

Gan Qi really didn't know how much money was in this black card.

Since she got it last time, she hasn't had time to check it.

Meng Yan said there wasn't much money in it, just some living expenses.

She subconsciously felt that she had a few thousand yuan to last her. Seeing that her aunt was unusually stubborn, she silently prayed in her heart: I hope it would not exceed 2000 yuan at most!
