After the lunch rush had ended and customers dwindled, Cheng Su cooked two dishes, and the three of them ate together. Ning Ge pushed his bowl away and said, "I'm going out for a bit, I'll just go straight home tonight, you guys head back on your own."
Cheng Su frowned.
As Ning Ge reached the door, he turned back, his face a sweet smile. "Sister-in-law, can you lend me thirty yuan?"
Cheng Su's frown deepened, and she glared at him. "Do you think this is a credit cooperative where you can get as much money as you ask for? I don't have any."
Ning Ge pouted as if aggrieved. He walked over to the cash register, took out a key, and counted out twenty yuan to hand over. "Twenty, take it or leave it. That makes it thirty you've lent me."
"Alright, I'll pay you back double next time." Ning Ge smiled, stuffed the money into his pocket, and waved as he left.
