Investment Life

Two days later, school started.No matter how bad his parents' complexion was, it was impossible to continue the confinement. Chen Yuanming returned to the life of two points and one line.However, when he sat in his new seat with his schoolbag on his back, he felt not complacency, but a deeper sense of disobedience.

More than a year of group exclusion and self-isolation made his image in the class fall to the bottom.Ma Zhiqiang didn't come looking for trouble anymore, but the boy's frightened expression when facing Chen Yuanming really made other students in the class have rich associations.Coupled with the fact that the head teacher is still very targeted to find faults and pick mistakes and the endless homework exercises in the third year of junior high school, his campus life can only be described as boring in the end.

Of course, if you carefully manage the interpersonal relationship between classmates, it may not improve your current situation, but Chen Yuanming is not in the mood.Even if he can pretend to be cute in front of Liu Yun and Sun Lang, he can't really integrate into the lives of these 14 and 5-year-old children. The naivety and innocence that should be in this age group have long been wiped out by another memory The games, topics, and ignorant feelings they are interested in are all too far away for Chen Yuanming. Unknowingly, he no longer doubts what he remembers, but is assimilated, swallowed by that memory, and transformed into another soul.

This change was silent, but the sensitive middle school students were still aware of something wrong with their talents. Facing Chen Yuanming's increasingly erratic behavior, they took the most direct method.Chen Yuanming's side became more and more deserted, like a weird person who accidentally broke into the class, and was excluded from a safe distance by the students.

For such an attitude, Chen Yuanming was not worried. His eyes only stayed on the hands of those little girls for a few days, watching with cold eyes the half-finger gloves changed from a few pairs to a dozen pairs, and finally spread to the whole school.In less than a month, this kind of woolen gloves has become a new fashion trend, but Liu Yun's hands are less than one hand.

He was right again.

However, this accurate prediction did not bring him much joy.During these days, Chen Yuanming has gradually developed a habit. In addition to the homework that needs to be completed every day, he has an extra draft book bound with waste paper, and the back of the book is filled with rows of plans.From food, small commodities, stamp collection to scrap iron ingots from steel mills, joint reselling of materials, stakes in gaming halls with a gaming nature, etc., he listed all the profit-making methods he could think of, but the last one left was A huge black X.

Principal, time, contacts, partners... All possible profiteering industries require some degree of investment, but he has no advantage other than that memory.His family, his friendships, his own age limit means that there are dead ends, and it is impossible to achieve anything in such an environment.

Chen Yuanming's sight once again fell to the end of the paper, where there was a date, a key turning point that could change anyone's life, so within easy reach, yet out of reach.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Yuanming closed his notebook, and walked out of the classroom amidst the bell for evening self-study.One and a half months into the school year, the school has conducted two preliminary examinations, and now he is fully confident that he will be admitted to the top three in the school and successfully promoted to the first high school, but so what?In his heart, unwillingness and hesitation are tearing apart, and he still cannot give up those coveted opportunities.Perhaps these should be put in after entering high school, the first high school is a boarding school, with enough freedom, he can try to do some real profitable business, just wait another 3 months.

With all kinds of chaotic thoughts in his arms, he embarked on the path home.It was already the end of April, and it was almost dusk when school was over, and the children running on the road were all in a hurry, eager to go home for a hot dinner.In comparison, Chen Yuanming's pace seemed too slow, so when he approached the staff dormitory building, there was no one around him.At this time, at the end of the road, a familiar figure came into view.

"Uncle."

Chen Yuanming was taken aback for a moment, and hurried up to meet him.The man standing by the doorway was his uncle Wang Tao.My mother's family has a relatively simple population, with only three brothers and sisters. My aunt is in the army in Gansu, and my brother-in-law is the third. He is currently working in a towing factory and has been mixed into the small management team. He is the only relative of their family in L City.After my father fell out with the aunts in the countryside because of grandma's medical expenses, only my uncle remained with the family.

"Doudou." Wang Tao also saw Chen Yuanming, showing a slightly bitter smile. "School is over, how are your grades now?"

"It's okay." Chen Yuanming keenly noticed that the other party was not in a good mood, and hesitated for a while, "My mother should be home, let's sit at home for a while, she..."

"It's okay, I just came down from your house." Wang Tao interrupted Chen Yuanming and waved his hand, "It's getting late, I should go back too. You study hard and don't let your mother worry too much."

After talking without thinking, Wang Tao got on his bicycle and left along the bumpy path.Looking at the back of the other party, Chen Yuanming was stunned for a while, then went upstairs.

There was only Wang Juan in the house. It was late at night and the fire hadn't been lit yet. She was sitting by the bed in a daze, looking down at her fingers.Hearing the sound of the door being pushed, she stood up with a shiver all over her body.

"I'm back." A smile immediately surfaced on his cheeks, but because it was too stiff, it didn't look like a smile.Wang Juan lowered her eyes concealingly, "Mom got off work late today, so I'm going to cook. Your dad is still working overtime in the factory, just the two of us..."

"Mom, I saw my uncle downstairs..." Chen Yuanming said softly, "Is there something at home..."

"What are you talking about?" Wang Juan patted Chen Yuanming's arm lightly, "Your uncle just wanted to discuss something with me, so don't worry about it so much as a child, just study hard."

As she spoke, she opened the door and walked out, starting to light the fire to cook, as if nothing had happened.However, Chen Yuanming couldn't ignore the red eyes of the other party.After standing there for a while, he put down his schoolbag and sat down beside the bed.

In fact, in my impression, Chen Yuanming didn't know much about the family situation when he was 15 or 6 years old. He only remembered that when he was about to graduate from elementary school, his grandmother suddenly became seriously ill. Still not saved.The family has changed from an enviable dual-career family to a thoroughly needy household. Relatives and friends were borrowed all over the place. Although everyone was kind at the time, no one was rich after all.

In order to pay off the debts, parents put all their minds on work and have no time or interest in disciplining their children.He is the only child of the first generation. He has no brothers and sisters around him. He is bullied at school and suffers from the neglect and misunderstanding of his family for a long time. The family has become disfigured, indifferent and alienated unconsciously.In his previous life, he had never heard about the family situation from his parents, nor had he really received their attention. It was not until 94 when his mother was involved in a theft case in the factory and she was laid off immediately that he couldn't bear it anymore and went north to work. ...

However, in the previous life, the relationship between the family and the uncle's family was really not good, and the uncle and concubine never visited the house at all, and there seemed to be some serious conflict.But what is it that caused the bad relationship between the two families?

Eating, warming up lessons, chatting, washing... until he went to bed, Chen Yuanming couldn't get the words out of his mother's mouth. He glanced at his mother who was quietly mending the clothes. He sighed softly, turned around and fell asleep .

This sleep lasted until midnight, and when he was awakened again by the tragic scene in the dream, Chen Yuanming chose to lie quietly on the bed to catch his breath as usual.After taking a few breaths, he suddenly heard a small conversation.

It was already early morning, long past the time for the night shift.Chen Yuanming tilted his head calmly, eavesdropping on the whispers coming from the opposite side.

"...Why don't you squeeze some money first?" A female voice said, the volume was very weak, and she was a little uneasy.

"Where did you get the money?" Another voice replied wearily, "I just paid Ryoko 500 yuan, and I will save my living expenses for these two months."

"But my little brother said that Yuanyuan really can't delay any longer. If it wasn't for treating your mother back then..." There was a bit of crying in the voice, "Your younger sisters, can't you let them pay? It's not them Mom!"

"Keep your voice down." There was a long silence, "Lingling's son has just entered high school this year, and her family is really... It's not like you don't know about Lili and her man, how can I speak?"

"If you can't speak, can I speak? If Xiaotao hadn't helped our family back then, we wouldn't have survived. Now that Yuanyuan's leg has been injured for so long, if you don't treat it, you will really fall ill. How can you make me feel sorry for you?" His family?"

"...I will shift two shifts next month, and I will be paid overtime, plus the little tuition I saved..."

"Tuition fees can't be changed! I've heard people say that Doudou's grades can definitely go to a higher level, and you don't know the tuition fee of a higher level. What if it's not enough?!"

"Isn't there still two or three months!" The voice was a little louder, showing some stubbornness, "Wait two more months and the turnover will always be opened..."

"Chen Jianhua! That's your son! If he can't go to high school, will you let him be a worker for the rest of his life like you?"

"I don't want him to go to high school or go to college?! Tell me, what else can you do? Have you ever asked how much college tuition is? Now your brother is still chasing after money, what do you want me to do?"

"Go tell Lili! She should have paid for it back then, and Lingling has paid for it anyway. How can she, a big sister..."

"Go to you!"

"Okay! I'll go, and I'll go with a low face! Don't hold me back anymore, don't say one or two thousand, there should be seven or eight hundred!"

"She's almost at the end of the day. If you get divorced and leave the house, you can open your mouth if you ask her to give you anything!"

"Chen Jianhua!"

After listening for too long, Chen Yuanming couldn't help but move his neck, and there was a slight rustling sound from the buckwheat husk pillow.The two voices around him suddenly disappeared.Chen Yuanming slightly turned half of his body and turned his face out of the window.After a long time, a small voice came from behind.

"Anyway, my son has to go to college. My Doudou is so smart and has more prospects than you!"

The whispers slowly died down, and finally turned into silence.Chen Yuanming's eyes were wide open, and he stared out of the window in a daze. The curtains were still so thin that they couldn't cover the bright moonlight at all.In that dazzling light, he couldn't close his eyes for a long time.
