The First Gospel Chapter 55: Big Bowl of Ramen
"Gu Yun, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you can't spend money so lavishly."
In the ramen restaurant, Wang Lu was holding chopsticks in his hand, looking like he was giving orders.
He was willing to accept the loss of the bet with Gu Yun, and took out the 50 yuan to treat Gu Yun and his family to a nearby ramen restaurant that looked relatively lively.
For people like them who were not considered wealthy, four thousand yuan was by no means a small sum, especially after the Great Depression. It was equivalent to a month's salary for half of the people in City X.
For example, with just fifty dollars, not only can the three of them have a steaming hot bowl of ramen, but they can even get a serving of braised pig's trotters.
"Look at you. You don't even have money to buy a new phone now."
"It was an accident."
Gu Yun concentrated on eating noodles, and he did not think that he was spending money indiscriminately. The treadmill he bought for 4,000 yuan might help his sister escape successfully from the attack of evil spirits at a critical moment in the future.
Not only did you not lose money, but you made a lot of money.
As for Gu Yun himself, he had no material pursuits. When things were the worst, he even slept in a cave. At that time, the beast sleeping next to him was a notorious beast in the village. Now that he could live in a house every day, it was much more luxurious than his previous life.
"So what do you think of this side?"
"Good."
The owner of the ramen shop is a very down-to-earth guy, and the beef brisket ramen has a generous amount of meat.
"Yeah, look at this noodle, it's long and chewy, and look at this bowl, it's big and round. If you didn't waste the 4,000 yuan, three people could have 800 meals."
"Slurp, cough, cough—"
Upon hearing this, a noodle got stuck in Gu Tiantian's throat.
"Pay attention to your meal, don't be distracted."
Gu Yun frowned.
It's all your fault!
Gu Tiantian covered his mouth and relaxed for a long time.
In fact, she stood on Wang Lu's side at the beginning. She did not agree with Gu Yun buying a treadmill to take home. The rental house was pitifully small, and the treadmill took up only one corner. In the first few days after the purchase, she would bump her feet when she went to the bathroom in a daze in the middle of the night.
But Gu Tiantian never expected that Wang Lu couldn't do arithmetic!
A meal of ramen for three people cost a total of 50 yuan. My brother only earned a total of 4,000 yuan. Can this be enough for 800 meals?
"It is said that the store manager graduated from our school, so when students come to the store to eat noodles, the portions are especially generous."
Gu Tiantian explained: "In the beginning, there were many competing stores, but later they were all outshined by this store."
After all, for the vast majority of high school students who are still growing, eating well is the top priority.
She had been to this store twice, both times being dragged there by her best friend, who said she wanted to thank her for helping her review for the exam.
Gu Tiantian himself was reluctant to spend this money.
I can eat a full meal of steamed buns for three yuan on the way home from school, and I can eat several meals of bread and milk at the supermarket for a dozen yuan.
"But there is something wrong with spending four thousand dollars all at once."
Looking at his sister, Gu Yun felt compassion. Although it is the right thing for children of this age to exercise, young people also want to eat something good occasionally. He also went through such a stage in his life. "When I make a lot of money, you can come and eat ten meals a day."
"You want to starve me to death! Hey, don't think about making a lot of money yet. It's not easy to find a temporary job, you have to work hard."
Although I don’t know how my brother and Wang Lu squeezed out the other two people, it’s hard to find a job that pays 300 yuan a night now.
The two men before were scoundrels and often whistled at girls.
Maybe the anonymous report letter written by my best friend worked?
"Then you can rest assured. I'll be watching over your brother. There will be no problem."
Wang Lu patted his chest and assured that he now understood Gu Yun - although this man looked simple and unsophisticated, he was a good person with a serious work attitude and was a talented person with great potential.
"Then I'll go study first. The overall results of this monthly exam are not ideal, and the homework for each subject has doubled."
To be honest, Gu Tiantian was not very confident about Wang Lu.
She was very afraid that the other party would guide her brother to become a husband who could eat 800 meals of ramen on 4,000 yuan, but this was the only way for now. At least the two of them could find a job together and didn't have to stay at home as stay-at-home dads.
"Oh, it's good to be young."
Watching Gu Tiantian leave, Wang Lu sighed, "If I had studied hard like your sister and not thought about becoming a ghost hunter all day long, I might have become a senior executive now."
"What's wrong with Ghost Hunter ?"
Gu Yun holds a different opinion. He believes that a soldier's destiny is to fight all the powerful enemies as they appear and then defeat them all. It would be too torturous for him to stay in one place all day long without moving.
Even the notorious prison warden of the God Clan could not think of such a torturous torture.
"Okay, ghost hunters are fine, at least we can save people. Nowadays, it's good enough for corporate executives not to harm others."
When talking about senior executives, Wang Lu inevitably falls into the angry young man mode, as he was fired by a senior executive back then.
"If you ask me, we can still make a little money now, don't you think?"
Gu Yun ignored him.
"how?"
Wang Lu followed Gu Yun's line of sight and saw that Gu Tiantian had already crossed the road. Across the road, there was a girl with a ponytail waiting.
The girl lowered her head, looking as if she was troubled by something.
"Friends."
"I've seen her before."
Gu Yun recognized the other person at a glance. After all, just a few hours ago, the girl had lost face in public - she was dumped by Sun Zheng in front of a group of students. This incident made Gu Yun's impression of him drop to the freezing point at that time.
He was thinking at the time that if his sister was treated so unfairly at school, he would definitely jump up to the second floor and punch that boy.
But I didn't expect that this child was actually my sister's friend.
"Is this the little girl you mentioned?"
"is her."
"Hey, it's not easy for us to intervene in this matter. Who can tell the truth about love?"
Wang Lu could only say helplessly that he had been single for so many years and perhaps his love experience was not as rich as that of today's high school students. Not to mention Gu Yun. If this man could find , it would be truly supernatural.
As experienced people, the number of girlfriends they have dated is not even a fraction of what Sun Zheng has.
"You might as well eat noodles instead of wasting time. There are no hurdles that young people cannot overcome... No, it seems that there really are."
Wang Lu was just about to relax and continue eating noodles, but he saw black air gathering towards the girl's feet.
This was the first time he had seen such a vision.
In the past, when someone was going to die, it was usually because of fate that had signs of it early on, but this child seemed to be gradually moving towards death.
Could it be that she suddenly couldn't figure it out?
Something seems to be wrong.
Wang Lu saw that as the black air gathered, an invisible figure blocked the girl and Gu Tiantian's way back.
His feet were dangling in the air, his hair was disheveled, and he seemed to be wearing a high school uniform.
But it was too far away and he couldn't see the ghost's appearance clearly.
This matter is really under their jurisdiction.
"Gu Yun!"
When I came to my senses, I found that Gu Yun had already rushed out of the store.
Wang Lu did not dare to delay and followed closely.
The next second, he was stopped by the store manager who rushed out from the kitchen after hearing the news.
"Three servings of beef ramen and one serving of braised pork knuckle, a total of 47.5 yuan. Small business, no credit."
