Getting rich in chronology

According to Chen Yu's previous arrangement, he intends to invite relatives and friends to have dinner at home, and also to thank everyone for their concern for him during this time.

So on the day after the exam, I ate and drank enough, slept well at noon, took advantage of the sun not being so harsh in the evening, strolled to the area of ​​Xiaodong's grandma and Aunt Yu's house, and told everyone in advance.

Those who live on Jianqiao Road also called, and anyone who has time can come over tomorrow.

Aunt Yu was originally in charge of several branches of Shenji and Youjian in the capital. No, her daughter Erfeng is also taking the college entrance examination this year. Although she has brought her mother-in-law to take care of her, she can't be at ease as a mother.

Fortunately, after such a long time, the business in the capital has been on the right track, and Aunt Yu has also promoted a few capable people, who don't need to stay in the store all day long.

So Aunt Yu and Chen Yu asked for leave, arranged the work there, and came back to accompany their daughter in the college entrance examination.

I haven't had time to leave yet, so I just meet up and listen to Aunt Yu talk about the situation of the capital branch during this period.

As the college entrance examination was approaching, no one dared to bother him with trivial matters. Chen Yu didn't even read the account books for the past two months carefully.

More than a year ago, when Chen Yu first came here to rent a house, the area in the western suburbs was still extremely poor, and a worker came out of a family, and all the nearby areas were holding it.

Later, the instant noodle factory and the toy factory were built one after another, and the society began to recruit workers. The residents here were close to each other, and the news was heard early. Anyone who met the conditions went to participate in the recruitment.

The scale of the two factories is not small, and the requirements are not low, but the current situation is that there are few positions and many unemployed people. So some high school students repeat the college entrance examination again and again. In addition to realizing their dreams, they hope that they can be assigned a good job after entering the university. Because I couldn't find a job after dropping out of school, I had to stay at home.

So this time there is a new factory recruiting people, regardless of whether it is state-owned or private, during the few days of recruitment, Wu Yangyang is full of people, and many even heard the news and came from the counties and cities below to try their luck.

In the western suburbs, over the years, there are more or less suitable unemployed young people. Not every family can produce a worker, but one courtyard, two or three small courtyards nearby, can produce a worker, which is worse than before. Tan is much stronger.

If you have popularity, you will have wealth. Be smart and start a small business. Roast sweet potatoes in winter and mung bean soup in summer. The cost is not high, and you can set up a stall with a little money.

Once the family has a source of income, life will be better and better, and money will flow, and the economy of the whole area will gradually be driven by a family of two or three.

When Chen Yu arrived outside Xiaodong's house, Xiao Xia was buying popsicles, seeing Chen Yu, immediately said happily: "Brother Xiaoyu, have you finished your exam? I'll treat you to a popsicle!"

"Okay." Chen Yu didn't feel embarrassed to eat other girls, so he agreed generously.

Xiao Xia bought the cheapest salt water popsicle for Chen Yu, and bought a mung bean one for Chen Yu. He couldn't wait to take a bite, and urged Chen Yu: "Eat it quickly, if you don't eat it, it will melt."

This little girl is a gossip, and she didn't show it before, but in the past one or two years, the family conditions have improved, and she has learned a lot, so she couldn't stop talking, and said a series of words in one breath: "I haven't seen you for a long time, grandma. Say you want to take an exam, so don’t let me disturb you. Erfeng and Yanzi in our yard also have to take an exam. When they go home on weekends, we go in and out very lightly, for fear of affecting their studies..."

Sister Yanzi is Aunt Zhou's daughter, Zhao Yan. She follows her mother's personality and is very shy and introverted.

"How did they do in the exam?" Chen Yu secretly asked Xiao Xia, if the two girls' grades were not satisfactory, he would have to be cautious when speaking, and try not to raise the issue related to the exam.

"It should be okay..." Xiao Xia scratched her head: "I'm not unhappy."

Under normal circumstances, unless you are particularly confident, no one will say that I did very well in the exam and will definitely pass the exam. It would be embarrassing if I got slapped in the face.

Both of them were not unhappy when they came back, so it should be that they did well in the exam, at least they didn't perform abnormally.

"That's good." Chen Yu was also happy for them.

One big and one small squatted at the door and finished eating the popsicles. Xiao Xia licked her lips and said with a smile: "Brother Xiaoyu, the popsicles are delicious. I earned the money myself."

"It's really good, Xiao Xia will also be able to establish a family in the future." Chen Yu boasted first.

There are two children, Xiaodong and Xiaoxia, because there is no adult in the family to support the facade, only an elderly grandma, they are more mature than ordinary children, and they hope to grow up early and support a family.

Chen Yu boasted so much, the little girl smiled until her eyes narrowed.

"It's okay to make money, but you can't delay your studies, you know?" After boasting, he warned again.

Back then, Xiaodong made hair ties with him and earned a fortune, and the family's hard life was over.

Xiaodong was able to support the family by herself, so she sent her younger sister to school. Xiaoxia was nine years old, and she started studying in the first grade.

Fortunately, there are many students who study late at the moment, Xiao Xia is not obtrusive in it, she is smart, and the lower grades are not difficult, and she skipped a grade later.

Now I am 11 years old, I have just finished the third grade, and I will be in the fourth grade in the second half of the year.

But later, there were more hawkers selling hair rings in Xingcheng, and the price was lowered again and again. Xiaodong's business was not easy to do. Chen Yu gave him an idea, made a batch of half-fingered gloves and stocked them up. When it's cold in winter Sell ​​out in one go.

Writing is hands-on in winter, but students can't study and can't keep their hands on their hands all the time, and they still have to endure the cold to write.

Cotton gloves are too thick to hold a pen. Half-finger gloves knitted with fine wool are very suitable. They are sold at the school gate, and anyone with a little spare money is willing to buy a pair.

For this batch of goods, Xiaodong's family was ruthless, and put all the money they had earned from selling hair rings on them, and Chen Yu even "lend" them a sum of money.

This business is just like the hair circle business, it is too easy to be counterfeited. A virtuous woman can weave it by buying some wool by herself, so she has to sell a lot of goods at one time, before the counterfeit products have time to come out.

It has to be said that Xiaodong's family had full trust in Chen Yu, they dared to listen to him order so many goods without even selling a single glove, their family was almost wiped out, and they even owed debts.

But it turned out that what they heard from Chen Yu was right.

Those gloves were so easy to sell, Xiaodong specially took a pen, demonstrated it to the students when selling the gloves, and let them try it out.

As soon as I put on the gloves, it warmed up immediately, but at least my hands were not as cold as before, and I couldn't even stretch my fingers!

And it doesn't delay writing at all, it is very convenient to pinch and hold the pen to write.

The half-finger gloves sold like crazy, and the stock was emptied in less than a week.

Yes, there are quite a few dexterous ones, but there are still so many who are unlucky enough to know how to weave gloves. Even if they can weave, they are not as good-looking as the ones sold by others.It takes time to knit and buy wool, so it’s better to just buy a pair.

Xiaodong and his family seem to have a lot of goods in stock, thousands of pairs of gloves, but there are thousands of students in any school.

A pair of gloves only cost a few yuan, and they are not expensive to sell. If you are still reluctant, you can just buy one for your right hand.

Seeing that the business is so good, Xiaodong hurriedly bought wool while making money for his grandma and younger sister to continue knitting. Such a good opportunity should not be missed.

Even so, new ones can't keep up with sold ones.

The first batch of goods was emptied, excluding the loan returned to Chen Yu and the dividends they must give - thinking that it was Chen Yu's idea, they also borrowed money.

Xiaodong's family also earned more than 4000 yuan, and they didn't hide this from Chen Yu.

Chen Yu didn't want a dividend, this time he really didn't do anything except talk.

But Xiaodong's family insisted very much, if it wasn't for Chen Yu, how could they come up with such an idea, let alone earn so much money.

Later, although counterfeit products came out, Xiaodong's business was not as good as it was at first, but he still made some money one after another.

When the weather got hot, the glove business was not easy to do. Xiaodong had savings in his hands, and his eyes were opened, so he continued to do other small businesses.

Chen Yu asked Xiao Xia just now if her brother was there, Xiao Xia said he was not at home, and went out to set up a stall, selling jelly at the gate of the factory.

"It won't delay your studies." Xiao Xia rolled her eyes.

Chen Yu knew that the little girl had a ghost in her heart at a glance: "What are you doing?"

"It's nothing..." Xiao Xia shook her hands, her hands were a little sticky after eating the popsicles, knowing that Chen Yu likes to be clean, she took him in to wash her hands.

"What is nothing? If you don't study hard, please go to my house tomorrow to eat ice cream, and you stay home to eat popsicles."

"I'll go too!" Xiao Xia called out, the ice cream made by Brother Xiaoyu is super delicious, you can't miss it!

"Then tell me honestly." Chen Yu frightened her with a straight face, fearing that the child would not cherish the opportunity to study, Xiaodong is not even fifteen this year, there are old and young, there are no troubles at home.

Xiao Xia pouted: "I really didn't study hard, and I even got No.4 in the class in the final exam."

As she talked, her voice became weaker: "I just bought some snacks to sell to my classmates, and... and help them with their homework..." The paid ones.

Chen Yu: "..."

"Does your brother and grandma know?" Chen Yu asked speechlessly.

Xiao Xia shook her head violently: "I don't know! Don't tell them, my brother is going to scold me."

The teacher originally planned to invite the parents, but she begged for a long time, crying and selling miserably, before persuading the teacher not to ask her brother to come.

"You are not allowed to do this kind of thing in the future, you have to earn money when you grow up, there are plenty of opportunities." Chen Yu is close to this family, and Xiao Xia is just like her own sister, so she couldn't help but say a few more words.

Xiao Xia was a little unconvinced, and muttered: "But I can make money now, why wait until I grow up? I make money now, and when others start making money, I will make a lot more."

Chen Yu: "..." Suddenly he didn't know how to refute, he had the same thoughts as Xiao Xia when he was a child.

He said quietly: "I started earning money, you started earning money when you were eight years old, you said which one of us earns more."

Xiao Xia's eyes widened: "Then how can it compare to you, you, you are so powerful!"

"I'm not that good at the beginning. I don't have knowledge accumulation, I don't study and I don't think. I can only make small money and hard money in my life." Chen Yu said a little more seriously.

Xiao Xia lowered her head, she thought of her brother, brother Xiaoyu still had to go to school while running the shop, and if the shop was handed over to someone else, he could just sit and collect money.

Her brother braved the cold wind in winter and went out under the sun in summer. He also said that the stronger the wind and the sun, the better, because it sells well. popular.

"I see……"

"Really?"

"Yeah." Xiao Xia lowered her head, feeling a little regretful, she could have been the first in the exam, otherwise the school would not have let her skip a grade.

It was because I was still helping my classmates with their homework the day before the exam, and I wrote it very late, so I kept getting sleepy during the exam and wrote wrong questions.

Chen Yu patted the little girl's head, and comforted her: "It's true that you want to make money. Your brother is working hard to support the family. It's right that Xiao Xia wants to help him share the burden, but you can't delay your studies. You can make money after completing the study tasks."

"Yeah, I see." Xiao Xia nodded vigorously, and then felt a little frustrated: "But it's a holiday, and I can't make any money now."

She can no longer do homework for her classmates, it's all holidays, and she can't do her small snack business, so she can go to the small shop to buy it by herself.

"You do your homework first. After finishing your summer homework, prepare for the next semester's courses. If you do well, I will give you an idea to make money." Chen Yu said.

Xiao Xia's eyes lit up all of a sudden: "Really?"

"Really." Chen Yu laughed and said, "But don't be fooled, you have to write carefully and study carefully, I will conduct spot checks."

"No problem!" Xiao Xia snickered, she was free and had nothing to do, she had already finished her summer homework, and after previewing the new lessons, she could make money!

The two chatted in the yard for a while, and Aunt Yu and Aunt Zhou came back from outside together.

There are candidates at home, Aunt Yu specially took a long vacation to come back from the capital, and Aunt Zhou was also transferred, so she stayed at home to take care of her daughter these days.

After the exam today, the two of them went to buy some fresh meat and vegetables together, preparing to make a good supplement for the child.

Seeing Chen Yu, he was of course very pleasantly surprised, so he asked for a meal.

Before Chen Yu left, he ate half an iced watermelon at home, and he was not hungry yet, so he would definitely have dinner later, and Shen Qiao was not used to eating at other people's houses, so Chen Yu declined the invitation of his aunts, and put the first Tell them about the dinner at home the next day.

The two happily agreed, everyone has a good relationship, and it is very lively and happy to get together to have a meal like this.

Before Aunt Yu went to the capital to open a branch, sometimes she and Aunt Zhou would hold a party at home when she was on vacation, just in the courtyard, and invite friends to gather together.

Of course, they would not have such extravagant behavior before, but now they have enough money and confidence. In fact, both of them bought houses in the urban area. They are not moving now, mainly because their children are studying in nearby schools.

After bidding farewell to Aunt Yu and the others, Chen Yu went out to continue sending out invitations, and Xiao Xia followed eagerly.

Chen Yu knew what she wanted to say, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I keep my word, hurry up and study."

"Hey!" Xiao Xia responded crisply, and ran back with a jump.

Chen Yu went to Aunt Yang's house again, the capital where Aunt Yang and Aunt Yu had gone together, the two worked together very well.

This time when Aunt Yu came back for a long vacation, she left Aunt Yang to preside over the overall situation in the capital.

Aunt Yang's man lost an arm unexpectedly in the early years, and life at home has always been difficult. Now relying on Aunt Yang to make money, the family's conditions are getting better and better.

There are three children in her family. The eldest daughter has just finished her first year of high school, and the younger daughter is only seven or eight years old. They are all old enough to be looked after. Aunt Yang and the man stayed at home to take care of the children.

Such a combination of women working outside and men staying at home will not be very common even in later generations, and it is easy to attract some idlers to talk.

There are even some men who feel that their self-esteem is hurt because they are not capable enough to compare with their wives, and they have to do something at home to make up for it and show their "manliness".

Fortunately, Aunt Yang's husband is not such a person. Chen Yu has seen this uncle surnamed Dong. Although he is missing a hand, he has a clear mind.

There must always be someone in the family who can make money to support the family. He can’t make money without an arm. It’s a good thing that his wife can make money. He can keep the house and take good care of the children. He can work in his own house anyway, and work slowly. It's a mistake, and no one blames him, how appropriate.

It was precisely because of her husband's support that Aunt Yang was able to muster up the courage to follow Aunt Yu to explore the capital market.

It was summer vacation, and Aunt Yang's three children were all there. When they heard that Chen Yu invited them to dinner, they were all looking forward to it.

They have participated in such gatherings several times. There are many children. Because of the large number of people, they don't sit at the table to eat properly. They usually have hot pot, barbecue and other activities, which are very interesting.

Uncle Dong said a few polite words, then agreed to Chen Yu's invitation, and filled Chen Yu with half a basket of yellow apricots exuding sweet fragrance, insisting that he take it away.

The next day, Chen Yu stayed in bed for a while, thinking about having a treat today, so he tidied up.

Not long after breakfast, someone knocked on the door. Aunt Yu and others came to the door one after another without empty hands. One carried a few catties of meat and the other a bucket of fish, and Xiaohu brought a large box of watermelon.

This child is seventeen years old this year, and he is as tall as his brother. Because he ate well when he was growing up, he seems to be taller than his brother.

Today we are doing barbecue, everyone will start busy when they come, washing vegetables and cutting meat consciously.

Because it is very hot to eat barbecue in summer, I boiled mung bean soup and put it on the fire, which offset each other and was very harmonious.

Chen Yu took out the homemade ice cream and divided it up. Xiao Xia bit a cream popsicle and ran to Chen Yu: "I finished my summer homework!"

"So fast?" Chen Yu was also surprised, how long has it been since the holiday.

"Of course." Xiao Xia snorted triumphantly, if the homework is not done quickly, how can I spare time to do homework for my classmates to earn money.

After the holidays, there is no money to make, and I am too free, so why don't I just finish my homework.

"What about the preview?"

"I'm already reading it!" Xiaodong found all the elementary school textbooks for her younger sister in one go to prepare for the grade skipping.

"Awesome!"

Xiaoxia chuckled twice, and asked again: "When will sister Meili come back? She has finished the college entrance examination, will she come back?"

Xiao Xia and Chen Meili are old friends, although they met through Chen Yu, and they are several years apart.

But one is simple and the other is precocious, which makes sense.

come back or not?Chen Yu felt that he should come back.

Chen Zehai and his family have feelings for Xingcheng. After all, it is their hometown. Not to mention other people, the old couple of the Chen family are old, and they will definitely come back to visit if they have the opportunity.

Moreover, the Chen family still has relatives in Xingcheng, and Chen Meili has two aunts who are still in Xingcheng.

Hearing that Chen Yu said that he would come back, but he didn't know the time, Master Xiao Xia sighed like a little adult: "It's good to come back, I miss her a lot."

Chen Yu couldn't help laughing: "Aren't you guys communicating?"

This is what the two told him separately. The letter Xiao Xia sent over was both pinyin and stick figures, and Chen Meili could recognize it.

"Then we can't meet each other!" Xiao Xia plausibly said, "Beautiful sister is so beautiful, if you look at her more, you will feel better."

Chen Yu: "..."

"I don't know how my beautiful sister did in the college entrance examination." Xiao Xia continued to mutter, looking quite worried.

Chen Yu was a little sour: "From yesterday to now, you have never asked me how I did in the exam!"

Xiao Xia looked at him with wide eyes in surprise: "Brother Xiaoyu's grades are so good, do you still need to ask? He must be No. 1 in the exam!"

Chen Yu: "..." Not a single little girl had nothing to say.

"She did very well."

Chen Yu really knew about Chen Meili's grades. He called Chen Meili after the exam yesterday.

It stands to reason that in her situation, the college entrance examination should be taken back to her hometown. After Chen Zehai became prosperous, she made great efforts to change Chen Meili's household registration to Mingzhu City, just because she didn't want her daughter to travel all the way back to take the college entrance examination.

Although the rumors about Chen Meili have gradually subsided because of the departure of their family, but what if?What if when she goes back, those bad-mouthed and vicious people think about it again and gossiping will affect the girl's mood, and then affect the exam.

When the call came, Chen Meili said that she was going to call him.

When I contacted at this time, of course the question was about the college entrance examination. Needless to say, Chen Yu's grades, as long as he performed stably, he couldn't run away with a heavy capital, and there was still a lot of room for choice.

Putting it all together, if he performs well, he can go to a top prestigious school. Before that, his pre-examination results were quite astonishing.

Although Chen Meili's grades are not as good as Chen Yu's, she has been making progress. Chen Zehai also specially hired a tutor for her, one-on-one tutoring.

She has a simple mind, she learns when she says she wants to study, and she does what she does without distraction. Although she is not as good as those super academics who are very smart and can learn quickly, if she continues to study steadily, her grades will improve steadily.

In the pre-examination, her score was more than 20 points higher than last year's undergraduate course, and she was only ten points away from the main course, so she is very hopeful.

The two exchanged for a while, and Chen Yu implicitly said that he did well in the exam.

Chen Meili was very happy for him, when Chen Yu asked her how she did in the exam, the little girl said cheerfully on the phone: "See you in the capital!"

Unlike Chen Yu, who voluntarily filled in without leaving any room, with her grades, her performance is normal, and an undergraduate course is indispensable.

The family is very satisfied with her grades, and they don't force her, even if she doesn't do well in the exam, she doesn't repeat it, as long as she can go to college, the main thing is to have a good time.

Even under Chen Zehai's suggestion, Chen Meili filled out the Mingzhu City University, which has only been established for five years, and the score line is not high.

So after Chen Meili finished the exam, she felt that she had made no mistakes, and she immediately relaxed.

Two months of summer vacation, no homework, and a little overwhelmed when suddenly idle, Chen Meili asked Chen Yu if he would like to come to Mingzhu City for a few days.

"Wait until August, I will go back to my hometown this month."

"Okay." Chen Meili responded softly, she was very psychologically shadowed by her hometown, but the Shen family had once stood out for Chen Yu, and they seemed to be pretty good.

The two chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone. The losers are those who are not short of money. Now who would be like them, talking on the phone and chatting on the phone is not popular at the moment, what a waste of money , most people can't afford it.

A group of people had a lot of fun at Shen Yu's house. There were a lot of preparations and a lot of people, and basically all the ingredients were used up.

When leaving, Chen Yu let everyone take back some unreleased ones. He will go back to his hometown tomorrow, and he is not at home. Shen Qiao simply accepted the invitation from the scientific research institute and went to the capital to dismantle the machines.
