Chapter 299 Not Enough Money
The hair salon owner nodded and said, "Okay, let's have dinner together. Let's close early tonight and go sing?"
Liu Ying agreed. Xiao Dong got a little anxious and pulled Liu Ying aside and asked in a low voice, "Didn't we agree that it's just the two of us today?"
"Hey, I work here. It would be so much fun if everyone gets together for my birthday. What's the point of just the two of us?"
"Then why don't you go out during the day? I want to take you out to play?"
Liu Ying gathered her hair and said, "Where is the fun place?"
"Let's go to the zoo?"
"No, you'll be dying of the sun. Just stay here with me. Let's go eat together at noon."
After saying that, Liu Ying went back and started combing her hair in front of the mirror. Xiao Dong stood there for a moment, not knowing what to do.
He has asked for leave, but Liu Ying didn't ask for leave. Does that mean he has to stay here with her all day ?
When the apprentice arrived, there were still no customers in the hair salon.
The boss pulled Liu Ying's hair a few times and said that her hair roots had grown out and it looked ugly.
Liu Ying asked the boss to help her touch up the color, and then Xiao Dong watched the boss dye Liu Ying's hair.
During this time, a customer came and the apprentice went in to wash his hair. After washing, the boss started to cut his hair. Liu Ying was peeling eggs with her hair dyed.
After the meat was chopped, it was shared between the boss and the apprentice.
"Dong Mingliang, if you're bored, just go out for a walk and come back for lunch."
Liu Ying felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Xiao Dong sitting there staring at her.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Dong got up and left.
"Hey, Sister Ying, what do you think?"
Apprentice Xiao Deng finished cleaning up and curled his lips: "Find a car mechanic."
Liu Ying rolled her eyes at him and said, "What's wrong with being a car mechanic? As long as I can make money, that's fine."
Xiao Deng chuckled twice: "How much money can a car repairman make? He is not the boss."
Liu Ying glanced at the boss again. In fact, she and Brother Hui had something going on for a long time, and the apprentice Xiao Deng didn't know about it.
The boss seemed not to hear and focused on his work.
It was almost noon when Xiao Dong came back. Because there were still customers in the store, he waited for a while.
When no one was around, the boss locked the door and the group went to a nearby restaurant to eat.
No one asked him anything about ordering food when they entered the house. During the meal, they talked about things in the restaurant, which made Xiao Dong feel very uncomfortable and he couldn't fit in at all.
After the meal, Liu Ying winked at Xiao Dong and asked him to pay the bill.
Xiao Dong couldn't help but call her out to go to the bar together.
"Don't tell me you don't have enough money?" Liu Ying thought Xiao Dong didn't have money to pay the bill.
"No, I want to celebrate your birthday today. You always bring people from your store with you. Why don't you take a day off this afternoon? Let's go out for a walk. I finally got the day off."
Liu Ying thought for a , "Okay, settle the bill and I'll tell the boss."
Seeing that Liu Ying agreed, Xiao Dong happily paid the bill. Fortunately, He Shu returned one thousand yuan to him yesterday, otherwise he would have no money.
Liu Ying went back and told her boss, and they all left the restaurant together, and the boss and the apprentice went back.
Xiao Dong excitedly pulled Liu Ying's hand, and she didn't object: "Where are we going?"
"Let's go to the zoo to see the monkeys?" Xiao Dong has always wanted to go, but he usually doesn't have much time.
"I'm not going. It's so hot in the middle of the day."
"Then... let's go for a walk along the river?" There really wasn't anything fun to do in Dan River.
I have been here for several years and have seen enough of the attractions. There is no big amusement park and I don't even want to go to the zoo.
"Alas, what's there to do by the river? Who would go there except outsiders?"
Xiao Dong put forward two suggestions, both of which were rejected, and he didn't know where he went.
In fact, if Xiao Dong wasn't afraid that Liu Ying would be unhappy, he thought it would be nice to find a hotel room and stay there quietly.
He is already 25 and has never touched a woman. How could he not think about it?
Liu Ying is pretty and dresses sexily, that's why Xiao Dong is so obsessed with her.
"Why don't we go shopping in the mall? It's air-conditioned and I want to look at some clothes."
When Xiao Dong heard that they were going to the mall, he felt a little uncomfortable, as he would definitely have to buy clothes and spend money there.
Seeing him hesitate, Liu Ying was a little unhappy: "Forget it if you don't want to go, then I'll go back to the store to work."
"Go, go, go."
Xiao Dong still wanted to be alone with Liu Ying. The owner of the hair salon was quite aloof. At first, when Xiao Dong wanted to talk to him, he ignored him.
He felt uncomfortable all over after sitting there for a while.
After spending an afternoon shopping in the mall with Liu Ying, Xiao Dong had less and less money in his pocket. When he had only three hundred yuan left, Xiao Dong told Liu Ying the truth.
"Xiaoying, let's not buy it. We only have 300 left. Don't we have to eat dinner tonight?"
Liu Ying frowned and asked, "How much money did you bring me for my birthday?"
"One thousand yuan. Didn't I use the money to buy you a necklace? This necklace costs more than five thousand yuan."
"Then after we have lunch and you buy these things, I will have three hundred left."
Liu Ying was a little unhappy: "Three hundred is not enough. Brother Hui said he wants to go out and sing tonight."
"Ah? You're bringing them along? Can't I treat them to lunch at noon? I'm celebrating your birthday, not theirs."
"Isn't he my colleague? Besides, Brother Hui is not only my boss but also my master. If you are more generous, he will take care of me in the future."
Xiao Dong felt that what Liu Ying said made some sense, but all his money was borrowed, so it was okay for him to spend it on Liu Ying, but he would feel bad if he spent it on others.
"Forget it, I won't buy it, let's go back."
Seeing Liu Ying walking forward on her own, Xiao Dong felt a little heavy in his heart. This birthday was created by him alone.
Hurrying after him, Xiao Dong couldn't help but ask, "Liu Ying, are you really going to live with me?"
"What do you mean?"
"I don't mean anything. I just want to marry you as soon as possible so that we can live a good life."
Liu Ying felt a little uncomfortable when she heard about marriage: "How long have we been together? Isn't it too early to get married?"
"It's getting late. If you don't want to get married, why are you going on blind dates? Besides, my parents have already built a new house for us. I used to get a salary and gave my dad 1,000 or 2,000 yuan every month. After we get married, I'll let you manage the money."
Xiao Dong licked his lips and said, "So you see, we are spending our own money now."
Liu Ying finally understood: "Dong Mingliang, you feel bad for spending some money on me for my birthday, right? It's just a necklace, right? Why are you nagging me? Then I'll pay you back."
As she said that, Liu Ying was about to take off the necklace, but Xiao Dong hurriedly stopped her: "That's not what I meant. If I felt bad about it, would I buy it for you?"
"I just want to ask, Xiaoying, when do you think we should get married? How about setting a date this year?"
"I haven't made up my mind yet. Wait for me to think about it." Liu Ying was getting annoyed and asked coldly, "Are you going to sing tonight? If not, go back now."
"Go, why not?"
"That's good enough. Let's go back to the store. We'll go sing after dinner. If you don't have enough money, I'll make up for the difference."
