Reborn at 90, taking space to counterattack and become rich

6 am.

Lu Chengyuan heard a slight sound outside the house.

Opening the door, he smelled the aroma of food.

In the kitchen, the girl was busy, seemingly frying eggs.

He was still holding an English book in his hand and reading quietly.

"Read English louder." Lu Chengyuan reminded.

Xia Chutang was concentrating when she suddenly heard a sound and was startled, almost throwing the spatula in her hand.

"Hiss--" The oil accidentally splashed on the back of his hand.

"How about it? Wait, I'll apply scalding ointment on you."

Lu Chengyuan hurried over and saw that the skin on the back of the girl's hand was burnt red by oil.

Xia Chutang immediately waved her hands and said carelessly, "I'm fine."

It was just a bit burnt by oil, she didn't think it was a big deal.

"Doctor Lu, are you awake? Wait a moment, I will prepare breakfast soon."

Lu Chengyuan went into the room and took out the medical kit. There were two more plates on the dining table, containing golden toast and fried eggs.

"I saw there was coffee, so I brewed some."

The girl also sat down and praised, "Dr. Lu, your coffee is really fragrant."

"Yeah." Lu Chengyuan picked up the cup and took a sip, his eyes flashing slightly.

I thought this little girl would spoil the fine Blue Mountain coffee beans, but I didn’t expect that the brew would be so delicious.

"Can you use a coffee machine?" Lu Chengyuan asked curiously.

The West China Sea lags far behind the open cities in the south.

Not to mention freshly ground coffee, even instant coffee is rarely drunk.

Last time, the director of the first city hospital came to Lu Chengyuan's house and saw the coffee machine and asked how to use it.

This girl's family situation makes it impossible to buy a coffee machine that costs thousands.

Xia Chutang opened her mouth and replied: "I met her at the foreign teacher's house in school. I learned how to cook it after watching her cook it once."

"Foreign teacher? Hmm... if you can cook it so well after just one look, then you are pretty good."

Lu Chengyuan didn't ask any more questions and said, "Since you learn things so quickly, study hard and your grades will get better and better."

He won't be a scumbag to the point of being expelled.

"Doctor Lu, don't worry, I just want to study hard now." Xia Chutang vowed.

Lu Chengyuan nodded, ate the toast and eggs on the plate, looked at the time, and asked, "You can go out at 7 o'clock, right?"

"Ah."

Xia Chutang glanced at the clock. It was now 6:20 and asked, "Doctor Lu, what can you do?"

"I can practice English with you in the morning."

Lu Chengyuan said directly in English, "Talk about domestic and international current affairs, which will help your English speaking and listening."

The man spoke with a standard British accent. Xia Chutang's eyes lit up and she replied in English: "Doctor Lu, please wait a moment while I wash the dishes and let's talk."

After saying that, the girl quickly cleared away the tableware on the table and went straight to the kitchen.

I didn't expect Lu Chengyuan's spoken English to be so good, his pronunciation was even better than that of the foreigner invited by No. 1 Middle School!

She was so lucky that she was given a speaking teacher for free.

Saved a lot of tuition fees.

The girl in the kitchen was excited, but Lu Chengyuan, who was sitting in the restaurant, had deep eyes, looking at Xia Chutang's back in deep thought.

The little girl's English is very good.

Although there is some accent, overall it is very good.

In 1995, domestic English courses were mainly written examinations. Even on university campuses, few people could speak fluent English.

Thinking of the test results that Teacher Mo called two days ago, Lu Chengyuan became even more inquisitive.

What happened to this girl?

How many secrets does she have?

"Doctor Lu, let's get started."

Xia Chutang ran out of the kitchen and said excitedly: "Your spoken English is so good. Can I practice with you every morning from now on?"

Lu Chengyuan nodded: "As long as I don't work the night shift. If I'm not here, you can listen to the English radio, that's fine too."

The two of them were like friends, chatting casually.

At first, Lu Chengyuan just asked some simple sentences, "interests, hobbies, etc."

After chatting for ten minutes, he found that Xia Chutang had a large vocabulary and started to talk about some news in the newspaper.

Unconsciously, thirty minutes passed, and Lu Chengyuan even felt that the girl opposite him looked like a friend from abroad.

"Doctor Lu, thank you so much."

Xia Chutang packed her schoolbag and was about to go out, "What do you want to eat at night? Rice or noodles?"

Lu Chengyuan stood up and took a key from the drawer, "I can do anything, I'm not picky about food."

"Doctor Lu is from Beijing, so let me make fried noodles."

Xia Chutang took the key and said politely: "I'm going to disturb you in the past few days. I will find a house as soon as possible."

"The house I..."

"Oh, it's too late, I'm leaving first. Goodbye, Doctor Lu."

Before Lu Chengyuan could say, "The house has been found," the girl ran away with her schoolbag on her back.

Lu Chengyuan shook his head helplessly.

Forget it, it's not too late to tell the little girl after the house is tidied up.

Lu Chengyuan picked up the keys and was about to go out. When he saw the coffee cup on the table, he turned around and picked up the phone: "Hey, Teacher Mo, the sample I sent you last time..."

……

As soon as Xia Chutang got off the bus, she saw Qiu Lina looking around at the station.

She walked over and patted the girl on the shoulder, "If you don't go into school, what are you doing here?"

"Oh! I've been waiting for you!"

Qiu Lina grabbed Xia Chutang's hand and said with a thankful expression, "I've been waiting for you here for a long time. I've passed at least 3 buses."

Xia Chutang was confused and wondered: "Why are you waiting for me?"

"Chili! That pickled chili!" Qiu Lina said excitedly.

When Xia Chutang heard the word "pepper", her heart skipped a beat and she thought to herself: Could it be that this girl really had diarrhea?

"Well, I'm not responsible."

Xia Chutang took off her hand on her arm and said distantly: "We agreed before, I won't care if it's bad. Don't try to blackmail me for money. I have no money!"

Now she is very short of money. She has to look for a house and buy furniture this week. Where can she find the spare money?

Qiu Lina didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Am I the kind of person who extorts money?"

Who knows? Xia Chutang said nothing with a sullen face.

"Okay, Xia Chutang, I treat you as a friend, but you miss me so much?"

Qiu Lina was also a little angry, "Am I so worthless in your eyes?"

Xia Chutang said in her heart: She was tricked by several "close friends" and "besties" in her previous life.

Seeing that the girl still didn't say a word, Qiu Lina was speechless: "Okay, I won't show off to you. My dad likes your pickled peppers!"

"Your dad has really strong taste."

"Xia Chutang! Can we still communicate happily?"

"Okay, you go ahead."

Xia Chutang said seriously: "As long as it's not about losing money, it's easy to talk about anything. Also, I really don't have any money, and I'm really afraid of being blackmailed. It's not aimed at you alone."

"Okay, I'll call you the female Grandet from now on."

Qiu Lina finally figured it out. This girl regarded money as her life.

But it just so happened that what she wanted to talk about today was related to money.

Qiu Lina took the girl's arm and walked to school. She said in a low voice, "I brought pickled peppers home yesterday. My dad fell in love with them after taking one bite. Let me talk to you today. Can you introduce me to the pickled peppers?" Does your mother-in-law know you?"
