Getting rich in chronology

Chen Yu felt that his deskmate was too low-key.

Yun Baiya's father is the deputy director of the garment factory, and the whole class and even the whole school know about it.

But Chen Meili's father is the director of the factory, but no one knew about it. If she hadn't said it herself, Chen Yu, her most familiar tablemate, would not have known about it.

Among other things, if the scum in the front seat knew who Chen Meili's father was, he wouldn't dare to call him a pig.

No, Yun Baiya should know about it, but she never mentioned it, nor did she express anything to Chen Meili.

Thinking about it, she probably didn't want Chen Meili to be more popular than her. In this class, except for Yun Baiya, the son of the workshop director had the best family background.

"Student Chen Meili." Chen Yu said solemnly, "Can I ask you to do me a favor?"

"Ah?" Chen Meili was a little flustered by his posture: "You, tell me, don't ask me..."

At this moment, most of the students in the class have gone home, and most of the day students have gone home, and some of them stayed with the residential students to study together, but now it's dinner time, and they went out to look for food first.

Chen Yu sat around beside them, only the two of them hadn't left yet, and they were in the back corner of the classroom, their voices were kept quiet so they wouldn't be heard.

So Chen Yu lowered his voice and asked in a low voice: "Could you please help me buy some rags? It's just the leftovers from the garment factory."

He can go to other small factories to buy, but firstly, the fare is more, and secondly, because of the small scale of those small factories, the clothes are cheap, and correspondingly, the clothes they make are less in style and less in color, and the fabric materials are average.

But if Chen Yu wants to sell hair rings, the better the fabric material, the more diverse the colors, the brighter the colors, the better. If there is a way, of course, it is better to buy them from big factories.

"Rags? What's the matter?" Chen Meili breathed a sigh of relief, she thought Chen Yu was going to say something.

"You don't need to buy it." Chen Meili said: "Those things can't be sold at all, they are all taken for recycling. You want me to get you some sacks."

Chen Yu: "..." Look, as expected of the factory director's daughter, she is magnificent.

Chen Meili is willing to help her, but Chen Yu can't really take advantage of her with the cheek.

Moreover, he had to process these materials and sell them for money. It was later discovered that Chen Meili had given him materials from the factory for free.

So Chen Yu insisted: "I have to give the money, I know, those fabrics cost one yuan per sack, I will give you the money, and you can buy it for me."

"It's really unnecessary, those are worthless and useless." Chen Meili was very anxious, Chen Yu was so poor, and his family conditions were so poor, he would lose money if he bought those waste fabrics.

"Do you want to make your own schoolbag?" Chen Meili suddenly came to her senses, and hurriedly advised, "Those fabrics are so broken that they can't be used as schoolbags. You might as well buy a whole piece of fabric and sew it up yourself."

Chen Yu: "No, I have other uses, I really want to buy it, can you buy it for me?"

"That, that's fine." Chen Meili frowned, still disapproving. She wasn't unwilling to help, but she was worried that Chen Yu would suffer.

Chen Yu thought for a while, and said, "Otherwise, can you do me a favor?"

"What?" This time Chen Meili didn't dare to agree casually, if Chen Yu wanted to do something stupid, she had to persuade her.

"Just those rags, can you pick them out for me?"

"Choose? What kind of pick, it's all broken anyway." Chen Meili muttered.

"You can choose the color that you think looks good, bright, special, brighter, or with good material, is that okay?" Chen Yu asked.

"There's nothing wrong with this." Chen Meili agreed immediately, anyway, she didn't have anyone to play with her after school, Chen Yu's request was to spend some time, and the most important thing she lacked was time.

"Then it's settled. It's best not to let anyone know. I entrusted you to buy it, okay?" Chen Yu added.

"Can't my dad say it too?" Chen Meili asked.

"Just don't say my name."

Chen Meili nodded: "Okay, if he wants to ask, I'll just say my classmate and I will never betray you."

It may be that Chen Yu's mysterious appearance infected Chen Meili, and she became excited for no reason, and took this matter as an important task, and ran home excitedly.

Chen Yu was not in a hurry to go home. On the way out of the school, he kept paying attention to the hair of the female students, and the information he got was similar to what he collected in the class. The hair accessories of the female students were only those kinds.

At the very least, this can show that if he wants to do hair circle business, the school's female students will have a big market.

After all, no matter how expensive hair rings are, they are not so expensive, anyone with a little spare money can buy them.

After leaving school, he went shopping in the small shop outside the school, and he found the original color rubber band that Chen Meili bought.

This kind of rubber band is sold for five cents, ten tied together, 22 for ten cents, and two more.

Chen Yu asked after counting, and sure enough, the more you buy, the cheaper it will be, one yuan can give him 250.

But normally no one would buy a dollar at a time, a dime is enough for a long time.

He asked if it would be cheaper if he bought more. This was probably the first time the boss asked this question.

And the boss looked at him like a fool, this is a boy, right?How did you remember to buy so many rubber bands?Where is he tied?

Chen Yu, who was suspected by the boss of having special hobbies, looked calm. If he wanted to make money, he had to have a thick skin.

Afterwards, Chen Yu was not in a hurry to go home, anyway, he would not leave time for him to study and do his homework when he went back. There was always endless work at home, such as washing clothes, chopping firewood, carrying coal, heating water and so on.

Because of this, Yuanshen often failed to complete his homework, and he couldn't explain it. From the teacher's point of view, it was just a bad attitude towards learning.

Chen Yu did almost all his homework in school. The high school students of this era have much easier homework than he did back then. He did some homework that was copied and consolidated very quickly.

The questions that I don’t know can only be put aside for now, and I will find time to ask the teacher tomorrow.

With his begging bag on his shoulders, Chen Yu walked diagonally towards the family area.

When he told Mr. Xiao the other day about how he rescued Yun Baiya, he mentioned that he didn't come home from school to pick up coal, and he didn't just say it casually.

The Xingcheng where Shen Yu is now is a city that Chen Yu has never heard of before traveling, and he hasn't had time to find out exactly where it is.

Xingcheng does not produce coal locally, but the neighboring province is a large coal-producing province. There is a railway passing through Xingcheng, and coal trains often pass by.

Because there is too much coal and the road conditions are not so good at the moment, some broken coals will fall on both sides of the railway. Many old people and children whose families cannot afford coal pellets will go to the railway tracks to collect coal.

Especially in winter, some courageous teenagers will even get on the coal truck and steal a whole piece of good coal from it.

Of course, doing this kind of thing is very dangerous. If you don't care about falling from the top, you may be sucked into the rails and your life may be in danger.

Even if he jumped off safely and was caught by the railway police, not only the stolen coal would be confiscated, but the parents would also be called to collect the person and fined.

If the parents are workers, they will report criticism in the factory. After all, this is poaching the corner of socialism.

But under normal circumstances, those who would take the risk to pick up trains are mostly children from very poor families who were arrested by the police, and they would die without saying a word, and maybe they could still have two meals in the police station.

Of course, Chen Yu would not go to pick up the train in order to save coal money for the Xiao family. He had carefully considered it before. Take a day off.

He can only make hair ties every afternoon after school, and sell them at once when he has enough stock. After all, hair ties don't have much technical content, so he can only make tricks a little bit more tricky.

When the garment factory realizes that the discarded leftovers can be turned into money, it probably won't matter to him.

So Chen Yu's plan was to make a fortune on it and withdraw it. In order to pave the way for going home every night, he now has to pick up two pieces of coal and go back.
