She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 978 - 848: Super Star 22 (Second Update)

The Ning Family and the Zhao Family asked for her bank card number to give Ning Hao his monthly living expenses.

After taking three days off, she attended two days of classes, and over the weekend, the Ning Family had taken care of everything that needed to be done. They were also planning to set off back to the Northeast and Hebei.

Uncle’s home was nearby, and the car had a Beijing license plate. In this era of license plate lotteries, car re-registration numbers would be canceled, but they still managed to leverage connections to secure the usage of this license plate number. After all, to the Zhao Family, it was a way to commemorate Zhao Yun.

Finally, Aunt paid the market price of eight hundred thousand yuan to obtain the usage rights to this car.

These expenses were deposited directly into a savings account for Ning Hao at a bank near Oak Bay, under Uncle’s ID card.

"I invested this money for you in a financial product, so the annual interest will be a bit higher. You can’t use it now, but by the time you need it, you’ll likely be in high school. This money isn’t the same as your living expenses; don’t feel burdened. We’ll still provide for your daily expenses. Just follow your Sister Yan Yan well, and if anything comes up, call me. Uncle’s place is closer to you, got it?"

Uncle’s family left Beijing first, and before leaving, Uncle along with Grandpa and Grandma visited the cemetery to see the couple, then left reluctantly.

Returning home over the weekend, seeing the empty and lifeless house, Ning Hao couldn’t hold it in and broke down crying. Hua Yan didn’t know how to console him.

Fortunately, she had already informed the school on that side. Before Ning Hao enters middle school, she likely won’t be able to attend evening self-study sessions.

However, Hua Yan was disciplined enough to study with Ning Hao at home without lowering any standards or requirements.

The property fees, water, electricity, gas, heating, and other miscellaneous costs were calculated, renting out one parking space wasn’t enough to cover them. The remaining parking space was rented out by the property management, generating an annual income of ten thousand yuan, which was settled once a year with a refund for any surplus.

For the past few years, Hua Yan managed to refund several thousand yuan annually, and the property’s accounts were clear with every expense listed transparently, preventing her from feeling that such a large company was bullying a little orphan like her. The situation was the same for Ning Hao.

Previously, she used to be lazy and simple during noon, not returning home, but now it was different. Ning Hao returned home for lunch, so Hua Yan was entirely reduced to being a cook.

In the evenings back then, she had to prepare the ingredients for the next day to avoid being flustered when cooking.

Ning Hao also learned from Hua Yan because the situation was different now. Sister’s studies were busy, and she couldn’t always be with him, so he had to do some things within his ability.

From weekend evenings, Ning Hao slept back at his home, waking up at six in the morning to wash up. Hua Yan would prepare a change of clothes for him the night before at his home, gradually teaching him how to match clothes and telling him that if he felt his clothes or shoes were getting small, he should inform her so she could take him shopping.

At six thirty, Ning Hao would carry a backpack to Hua Yan’s house, and the siblings would exercise for half an hour in the neighborhood. By seven o’clock, they’d return home, have soy milk ready from the maker, fry eggs, make sandwiches, ensuring breakfast was varied but also nutritionally rich. Soy milk and milk were alternated to keep things fresh.

Setting off at seven twenty, Hua Yan would ride her bike to take Ning Hao to school before heading to her own school since it was all along the same road, so it wasn’t troublesome at all.

Noon dismissal was at twelve. To make things easier, she’d steam the rice before leaving in the morning, keeping it warm until noon. Upon returning home, she’d take out the prepared dishes, stir-fry them with a sizzle, ensuring a good mix of one meat and one vegetable. Adding a convenient packaged soup from the supermarket, a delicious lunch was ready, far tastier than the school’s meals.

After lunch, Ning Hao would voluntarily do the dishes, while Hua Yan cleaned the house. The siblings would then collapse on the sofa like Ge You for a while before heading to school.

"Sis, there’s a mountain bike in my family’s basement storage. Do you think I can bike to and from school? It could save a lot of time."

"Forget it, you’re not allowed to bike in primary school anyway. Wait until middle school, then you can ride. We can practice over the weekend, and I’ll decide after seeing."

In the afternoon, Ning Hao got home before Hua Yan. He was already able to make soup, so he’d start by preparing porridge at home, then sit in the living room doing homework while waiting for his sister to come back.

When Hua Yan got home, it was past six, as she’d stop by the market to buy some groceries. She didn’t calculate their daily expenses too meticulously, nor did she want to be so precise. However, she needed to know how much they spent in a month, to avoid any unclear explanations when asked by the Ning Family and Zhao Family in the future. So she started accounting from the beginning of the month, noting down what was bought and done each day.
