Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets novel Chapter 50

Chapter 50: Chapter 50 Lacking Money

"Tang Yue didn’t hide her thoughts, saying, ’My dad is very good at cooking, and his fried rice noodles are delicious.’"

"The family is poor, but Tang Zhengde would still make fried rice noodles a few times each year, only adding green zucchini, a few dried shiitake mushrooms, and some green pepper strips. Even though she initially disliked Tang Zhengde, she had to admit that his skills in making fried rice noodles were exceptionally good."

"Is that a breakfast shop?"

Zhang Tingyu thought for a bit before saying, "Xiao Yue, actually, we have an old flat house next to the station. The front can be used as a shop, and there are two rooms in the back where people can live."

"Next to the station?" Tang Yue’s eyes immediately lit up and asked, "Tingyu, did your mom mention how much she wants for rent?"

The large flow of people near the station, a tasty breakfast, plus serving fast food for lunch and dinner, would definitely make money.

With Tang Zhengde’s culinary skills, Tang Yue could almost foresee how booming the business would be once it opened.

"Last time I heard my mom mention it briefly, it seemed she wants US$ 100 for a year, including the house," Zhang Tingyu said worriedly, fearing the price might be too high. "It’s because the shop comes with the house, and also, our family has furniture there. Beds, cabinets, and sofas are all available, albeit they are about fifty to sixty percent new, so the price is a bit higher."

US$ 100 a year, with two rooms and a shop!

Tang Yue’s eyes immediately lit up. In the future and in Jing City, those two rooms and a shop wouldn’t be rentable even at US$ 100 a day, let alone a year.

"What do you think? Interested? The station is very close to the school. Later, you can also move there. Of course, I’ll talk to my mom and try to reduce the price by several dollars," Zhang Tingyu earnestly treated Tang Yue as a friend. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be this enthusiastic.

Tang Yue was worried about money and suddenly thought, "When we return to the county, could I go with you to see it first?"

The location is really good. If the house is nice, US$ 100 a year for rent is like picking up a huge bargain.

"Of course," Zhang Tingyu replied with a smile, readily agreeing. She felt helpless about Tang Yue’s financial situation. She thought about delaying the payment, but her mom at home might not agree.

At night, Tang Yue had trouble sleeping in a strange bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep until it was almost dawn.

The next day’s competition, for someone like Tang Yue who had ’died once’, was a big event, but she wasn’t nervous at all. When she received the exam papers, she worked hard to complete all the questions, then laid her head down on the desk to catch up on sleep.

Until the bell rang, Zhang Tingyu came to Tang Yue’s desk and asked, "Xiao Yue, are you alright? Why did you fall asleep on the desk later? Feeling unwell?"

"Not at all, just sleepy," Tang rubbed her eyes and yawned hugely, saying, "Let’s go."

After half an hour of napping, Tang Yue felt much more refreshed.

Until they were discussing the answers, Tang Yue and Zhang Tingyu’s solutions were the same except for the last question.

Zhang Tingyu pursed her lips and said, "Xiao Yue, you finished half an hour earlier than me."

Being usually competitive, she had to admit that in this competition, Tang Yue was definitely better.

The last part of the test felt quite difficult for her.
