Getting rich in chronology

Early the next morning, Chen Yu got up early thinking about what he had to do today.

This weekend, in the past, the three children of the Xiao family would have to sleep in bed for a while, especially Xiao Jiaxin, no one told her that she could sleep until noon.

On the contrary, Xiao Jiayao, who is young and energetic, spends less time in bed, and runs around wildly during the holidays.

But today Chen Yu got up early enough, only the two old people of Xiao's family who were getting older and feel less, and Xiao Jiahui woke up.

Mrs. Xiao cooked, Chen Yu lit the stove to heat up hot water, and Xiao Jiahui took a mirror and stood in the sunniest place to take pictures back and forth.

She was wearing the new set of clothes that Liang Fengxia bought recently, a white coat and black flared trousers, very fashionable.

He also dipped his fingers in a little water, and smoothed the long strands of hair in front.

Chen Yu lowered his head and suppressed a smile, it wasn't that he was evil-hearted, but Xiao Jiahui's outfit and hair today really looked like a bum in later generations.

After Mrs. Xiao made breakfast, amidst her nagging that she disliked Chen Yu's eating too much, Chen Yu killed two steamed buns and three bowls of porridge without paying attention, and ate a round belly.

The corners of Old Madam Xiao's mouth twitched in distress, she secretly shared half of the breakfast left for Liang Fengxia with the rest of the Xiao family.

She had already made up her mind, if Liang Fengxia had any objections, she would tell her that Chen Yu ate her share, and let the annoying mother and son argue on their own.

However, before Liang Fengxia got up, Chen Yu finished her breakfast and slipped away resolutely.

With 15 yuan and [-] cents in his pocket, he went out to make big purchases.

Originally, he had a total of 18 yuan, and he gave Chen Meili two yuan to ask her to help buy rags. Yesterday he spent one yuan as a deposit for renting a house, and now he has so much left.

Today I mainly go to buy rubber bands, which are one of the main raw materials.

I asked the price at the small shop outside the school gate before, and it was already considered cheap, but Chen Yu wanted to ask other shops again, if it could be a little cheaper.

Because the money was too tight, Chen Yu couldn't even bear to sit in the car. He could buy ten rubber bands for five cents, and they could sell them for at least fifty cents if they were made into hair rings.

Fortunately, after the reform and opening up, there were more and more shops doing small businesses. Chen Yu asked all the way and compared all the way, and finally found a shop that was the cheapest for him.

He bought one for eight yuan. According to the price of the school canteen, he could buy two thousand.

He chatted with the boss, and the calculation made the boss dizzy, and finally gave him eight yuan and 350 yuan.

If it wasn't clear if there was a factory producing rubber bands in this city, Chen Yu would have gone directly to the factory to buy them.

One rubber band is quite small, but there are more than 2000 of them, and there is a big bag.

It is impossible for Chen Yu to take it back to Xiao's house, it would be terrible if he was found.

He stuffed the rubber band into his ugly bag, and Chen Yu turned around and went to the scrap yard.

At the waste collection station, Chen Yu spent more than an hour picking out a lot of messy things that could be used.

For example, very thin iron wires, some colorful waste plastics, the sources are broken red plastic pots, pink plastic cups, green plastic buckets, etc., and a few pieces were broken off by the sinking fish.

He also found several rotten cotton clothes. The outer fabric of the clothes was full of holes, exposing the blackened and caked cotton inside.

Chen Yu took out a few handfuls of black cotton, picked and picked again, and unbuttoned the buttons that were still in good shape, that ragged cotton coat was definitely not needed.

There are other bits and pieces that may be used. When he took his harvest to check out, Chen Yu slipped and almost fell. The old cloth shoes are not good at all, the soles are too flat, and they stepped on something Especially slippery.

After Chen Yu stabilized himself, he looked down and was happy.

It was a very small round bead, and he didn't know what it was on. He searched around and found a small handful on the ground, and took them together to pay the bill.

The things he was looking for were all miscellaneous and everything, including a large pile of waste plastic sheets, which made the people at the waste collection station very speechless, not sure what the use of these things he bought.

Fortunately, among all things, only metal things like iron wire are more valuable.But the extra-fine wire he took did not weigh the scale, and the quantity was not large, so in the end, all the things added up were only fifty-three cents.

The schoolbag couldn't fit these things, so Chen Yu became cruel, and bought the most worn-out snakeskin bag for a penny, and put everything in it.

For small beads that are easy to lose, wrap them in paper and put them in your schoolbag.

So far, Chen Yu still has six yuan and ninety-six cents left, but he hasn't bought any needles, thread or tools yet.

A pack of sewing needles costs [-] cents, and a pack of [-] needles costs [-] cents each.

Chen Yu didn't use that much, and mainly used sewing machines, which had special needles. Chen Yu bargained and bought two for five cents.

Threads are more expensive. Based on his vision and the number of loops that need to be made, he needs a lot of threads.

The most common white thread, thick thread is [-]% of a roll, and thin thread is [-]%. Chen Yu bought one roll of thick thread and ten rolls of white thread.

Colored threads are more expensive, ranging from [-] cents to [-] cents. Chen Yu basically bought more than two rolls of all the colors he could see.

At the end of the calculation, all the lines cost three yuan and twenty-eight cents.

I bought a pair of scissors for [-] cents, a bottle of glue for [-] cents, and bought two bottles.

So far, of all Chen Yu's savings, only two yuan and sixty-eight cents are left, and the remaining fifty cents is the rent payment.

In other words, this hair ring business, if it doesn't succeed, it will be a benevolence. If it doesn't work, he can only temporarily suspend school and go to work, earn enough money to live before thinking about going to school. He really can't stay in the Xiao family.

Chen Yu still didn't dare to use the remaining two yuan or so, and kept it as a reserve fund in case of any accident.

So Chen Yu dragged an ugly snakeskin bag, walked for nearly an hour, and finally arrived at Xiaodong's house.

The main reason is that this side is too remote, and there are no shops selling things. If he wants to buy things, he can only go in the opposite direction to the city center, and he will go far away in a while.

As soon as he walked to the gate of the courtyard, Xiao Xia, who was sitting behind a big basin washing clothes, saw Chen Yu, hurried up to meet him, and reached out to pick up Chen Yu's big bag: "Brother, I'll help you."

As he spoke, he turned his head and shouted loudly: "Grandma, the big brother who rented our house is here."

An old lady with muddy hands emerged from the kitchen, her hair was gray, her face was wrinkled because she was too thin, but her eyebrows and eyes were very kind.

It's different from the one that Mr. Xiao pretended to be. From Chen Yu's perspective, this old lady is really good-tempered.

Sure enough, the old lady came over after washing her hands, took a radish and brought it over, and greeted Chen Yu with a smile: "Boy, what's your name?"

Chen Yu smiled heartily: "Grandma, my name is Chen Yu, Shen Wansan is Shen, the fish is the one we eat."

"It's a good name, and there are fish every year, so it has a good meaning." The old lady gave Chen Yu a juicy radish: "Little fish, it's been a long way, let's eat a radish to rest."

"Thank you grandma." Chen Yu took the radish bluntly, he was really tired and thirsty after a busy morning.

Although this kind of home-grown radish is not as sweet as those fruit radishes of later generations, it tastes good and has plenty of water.

The radish meat is particularly crispy, with a bit of the unique spiciness of raw radish, but it is spicy and sweet, and it is quite exciting to eat.

When Chen Yu was eating carrots, the grandma had already opened the room that Chen Yu rented, and Chen Yu rejected Xiao Xia's kindness, and carried the sack in by herself.

After entering, I realized that the house had obviously been tidied up, and the dust on the walls and floors had been cleaned up.

There is a single bed on the right side of the door against the wall, and under the wall facing the window at the foot of the bed, the sewing machine that Chen Yu has seen has been moved over, and a single leg of suitable height is placed in front of the sewing machine. stool.

A table was placed against the wall on the other side. One leg of the table was broken, and there was something under it.

Seeing him looking at the table, Xiaoxia ran over in a hurry, pushed the table hard, and explained: "My brother and I have tried many times, it doesn't shake at all, it can be used."

"Thank you, Xiaoxia, and thank you, Xiaodong. This table is very good. I just need a table." Chen Yu stretched his eyebrows and smiled warmly and sincerely. Xiaoxia looked at his crescent-shaped eyes, and suddenly felt his face burn.

This big brother looks so good!

"This bed is not going to be used for the time being, I don't live here." Chen Yu went to the next door to look at the sewing machine yesterday, and saw this bed before, it was probably Xiao Dong's bed.

Sure enough, Xiao Xia's eyes lit up, and the grandmother hesitated, "Then you are not at a loss for renting this house."

People don't live in this house, so it's inappropriate for them to charge so much money.

"No, I want to use this room to store some things, and I usually come over during the day." Chen Yu didn't explain too much.

The old lady understood very well without asking any further questions, and gave Chen Yu the key that was left at her place, and went out with Xiao Xia, leaving Chen Yu to organize her things in the room.

In fact, there were not many things, Chen Yu threw the sack into the corner, put the other sewing tools on the table, locked the door and went out.

Xiao Xia finished washing her clothes, and was struggling to wring them, Chen Yu washed her hands, went over to help her wring them out and hung them up, and asked casually, "Where's your grandma?"

"Grandma is in the vegetable garden at the back." Xiao Xia said.

It turned out that their place is quite remote, but fortunately there is a lot of open space, Grandma Xiaoxia opened a piece of wasteland nearby, and planted some vegetables and food, not much, and the rations of the grandpa and grandson were not enough.

Seeing that it was noon, Chen Yu said goodbye to Xiao Xia, borrowed two pieces of coal from her, and took them back to Xiao's house, mainly for lunch.

Regarding the fact that Chen Yu went out all morning and brought back two pieces of coal, Mrs. Xiao was very talkative, and she never stopped chattering at the dinner table.

Chen Yu still turned a deaf ear to it, so he just thought about it, did he really expect him to bag the Xiao family's coal?Dreaming.

Mrs. Xiao can only gossip, if she dares to do something, Chen Yu will be able to howl to the entire family courtyard to know in minutes.

After lunch, Mrs. Xiao stared at Chen Yu and wanted to leave him to do housework at home.

In the morning, Mr. Xiao and Xiao Jianshe went to take a bath, and changed a pile of dirty clothes to wash.

Chen Yu calmly mentioned all kinds of cakes that his classmates had eaten in front of Xiao Jiayao, they were sweet and delicious, and the little ancestor of the Xiao family cried and wanted to eat them immediately.

The magic sound pierced her ears, how could Mrs. Xiao care about Chen Yu, she brought Xiao Jiayao into her room, and brought him the delicious food that she secretly hid, she would definitely not bring Chen Yu.

If you don't slip now, when will you wait?

Chen Yu ran away, to meet his deskmate with golden thighs, and pick up something by the way.
