Return To 1998

Its daybreak.

Xu Tonglin, who hadn't slept all night, opened his red eyes, looked at the shaking tree shadows outside the window, stared blankly for a moment, suddenly got up and sat up, dressed, put on shoes, washed...

After an operation, he left the rented hut.

Yes.

He stopped living in Tongdao Xu's new home for a long time. He moved out and rented a house near the barbecue shop for two reasons.

First of all, he felt uncomfortable living with Xu Tongdao's mother, brother and sister every day.

Secondly, it is inconvenient to commute to get off work. Tongdao Xu’s new house is near the No. 1 Middle School in the county, and it is still a little far from the Daolin BBQ restaurant. It’s okay to commute to get off work in normal times, but when it is windy, rainy and snowy, It is very inconvenient.

Especially when he works in a barbecue restaurant, he gets off work every day at one or two in the morning, and he has to ride a bicycle for ten minutes to sleep there. He is really too lazy to move.

Besides, in the past few years, he has also made a lot of money, renting a small room near the barbecue shop, and the rent is only a few dozen yuan a month. For him, it is really a drizzle.

After leaving the residence, he went to the long street outside and went straight to the breakfast shop where he usually had breakfast... At the door, he didn't go in.

Because today's New Year's Day, this breakfast shop is closed.

Crazy! You don't even earn money?

After scolding depressedly, Xu Tonglin continued to walk forward. He knew that there were several breakfast restaurants in front of him. After searching for several breakfast restaurants, he finally found one that was open for business.

He exhaled white steam, stomped his feet, walked in the door, asked for a bowl of beef noodles, and added a poached egg.

On the first day of the new year, you always have to eat something good.

Even though today's beef noodles are much more expensive than usual.

While waiting for the noodles to be served, he poured himself a glass of boiled water, leaning on one hand and resting his chin, staring blankly at the empty long street outside.

I was still thinking in my mind - should Xu Tongdao transfer the entire barbecue restaurant to him, or... go to the city with Xu Tongdao to fight?

Yes!

In his opinion, selling out the Daolin BBQ restaurant, going to the city to open a barbecue restaurant in partnership with Xu Tongdao, or taking a stake in Xu Tongdao's new hot pot restaurant, is to give it a shot.

Winning the fight is naturally a joy,

Since then, his life has reached another peak.

But if Bo loses...

That would be miserable.

At that time, this barbecue restaurant has already sold out, and if you want to eat back grass, you will have no chance.

He had been thinking about this all night last night, and he didn't sleep much all night. He felt that he had reached a fork in his life.

Left or right?

It could be two completely different lives.

If you go to the left, be conservative and take over the entire Daolin BBQ restaurant. You may not be able to get rich, or after a few years, the business will get worse and worse, and you will not be able to do it. But at least in the past few years, he feels that The chance of making money is still great.

Even if the agreement with Legend of the Hungry Wolf expires, and you can't continue to sell to Legend of the Hungry Wolf, the profits of Daolin BBQ will be cut in half, and if you earn 10,000 pieces a month, it should be stable.

After that year... it was a net profit of hundreds of thousands.

Doing it for a few years is hundreds of thousands.

Hundreds of thousands!

His parents never earned that much money in his life. He never dreamed that he could earn hundreds of thousands in the future. If he can really earn hundreds of thousands, then go back to his hometown to build the second floor... No! Can you afford the third and fourth floors?

How beautiful will my Xu Tonglin be in the village by then?

So beautiful... I should have a good chance of marrying a beautiful wife, right?

Maybe at that time, Ge Xiaotian's sister, Ge Xiaoyu, will fall in love with me and marry me as a wife...

Thinking of this, Xu Tonglin giggled.

Yes!

He also fantasized about Ge Xiaoyu.

After all, Ge Xiaoyu is the most beautiful girl in their Xujia Village and her peers. She has good grades in school and does housework swiftly. She is such a beautiful beauty, and Xu Tonglin has nothing wrong with him, so how could he not like it?

but……

At most, it seems that she will be able to marry Ge Xiaoyu, and she may not be able to. After all, Ge Xiaoyu is in high school, and maybe she will go to college in the future. She has been arrogant since she was a child. , Now that I'm in high school, I'm sure I don't like him even more.

But if you choose the right...

If you go to the city to do business with Xu Tongdao, although there is a risk of failure, there is also the possibility of making more money!

If I can make a million... or even two million...

Then I should have more hope of marrying Ge Xiaoyu, right?

Even if I still can't marry Ge Xiaoyu, there are so many beautiful girls in the city, so many beauties in college, maybe I can marry one?

Your beef noodles! Slow down!

The shop owner brought a large bowl of beef noodles and put it in front of Xu Tonglin, bringing Xu Tonglin's thoughts back to reality.

A wry smile.

He found himself still struggling to decide.

Is it to the left? Or to the right?

Too much headache.

He grabbed the chopsticks and ate the noodles with a snort. He decided to call his parents in a while to ask them for their opinion.

See what they say.

...

About ten minutes later.

Xu Tonglin, who was full of food and drink, walked on the sidewalk of the street, took out his mobile phone and called home.

Mmmm talking to the old lady on the phone.

On the phone, after hearing his troubles, his mother Zhang Lizhi was excitedly persuading him, Lin Zi! You stupid boy, since Xiaodao gave you such a good opportunity, why are you hesitating? It must be taking over the barbecue restaurant. Ah! He said that he would give him the capital he had invested in the first place, and the store would be completely owned by you. Are you still hesitating? Have you lost your mind?

ah? you listen to me! Just a BBQ! How much capital is needed, my dad and I will help you together, hey! By the way, Lin Zi, we have to strike while the iron is hot, you know? If after two days, Xiaodao regrets it again and doesn't want to transfer the shares to you, then we will be dumbfounded, right?

Well, your dad and I will collect the money for you today, and I will send it to you with your dad in a while. It's better that we get all the shares today. This matter can't be delayed, do you understand? You should know the principle of being safe in your pocket, right in your pocket?

...

On the phone, Xu Tonglin had already heard the meaning of the old lady's words.

Nothing else, it can be summed up in one sentence - to a barbecue restaurant, not to the city.

Xu Tonglin hummed in response, but did not refute.

A smile gradually appeared on his face.

After the call, he stopped on the street and dialed Xu Tongdao's number.

A phone call.

Before Xu Tongdao opened his mouth, Xu Tonglin said, Xiaodao, I've made up my mind, let's sell the barbecue restaurant! I'll go to the city with you! I'll take a stake in your new hot pot restaurant! Is that okay?

Tong Xu said, Ah? You've figured it out so quickly? Are you sure?

Xu Tonglin: Hehe, to be honest, I didn't think about it so quickly. I thought about it all night last night, my head hurt, and I didn't know what to choose, but I just told my dad and my mom. They made a phone call and after listening to their advice, I suddenly knew how to choose, hehe.

Tongdao Xu was a little surprised, Really? Your parents suggested that you go to the city with me?

Xu Tongdao was surprised that Xu Tonglin's parents didn't make conservative choices, so they were so aggressive?

Xu Tonglin: No! They all let me choose a barbecue restaurant, hehe, Xiaodao, you know? I've figured it out a long time ago, my parents and they haven't made a fortune yet, and their vision for making money is definitely not good, so I will definitely Only by going against them can there be hope, hehe...

Xu Tongdao: ...
