Age control group? The top student is reborn and wins.

"I don't want it. I said I was here to help you." Zhou Pingping waved her hands. She really didn't want any money, but she was also really shocked.

“Is it possible to make so much money by selling this?!”

"It's not bad. Although I make money, it's only a few days a year. I can't do it all the time."

Yao Jingxue said, "If you don't want money, then I'll treat you to a delicious meal."

Zhou Pingping did not object this time and said with a smile, "Jingxue, you are too secretive! Apart from Chuyu, you are definitely the richest person among us."

"Haha, making money is my only hobby. It's so tacky that I'm embarrassed to tell you guys about it normally."

Yao Jingxue said with a smile.

"Who doesn't want to make money? How can it be tacky? Don't be so ungrateful. When I hear you say this, I really want to hit you."

Zhou Pingping said unhappily.

Yao Jingxue begged for mercy quickly, "Okay, okay, no more words, let's go eat, when we get to the restaurant, you can order whatever you want."

"Of course, I won't save money for you!" Zhou Pingping said.

When they arrived at the state-owned restaurant, they still needed food coupons to eat. Zhou Pingping and her friends didn't have them with them, so they asked if it was okay to pay for it all.

The waiter nodded in agreement. Nowadays, the control over things like food coupons is not that strict.

"The current policies have really changed a lot, they're much more relaxed, and I feel the importance of money," Zhou Pingping sighed.

"It will become more so in the future, and money will be more useful. However, as a rich lady, you don't have to worry about these things. You have your parents to protect you, so you will definitely live a safe life."

Yao Jingxue said.

"But I can't always rely on my parents. My parents are old, and it's my turn to take care of them."

Zhou Pingping said,

"I think I should learn from you and become more independent. Not only should I be able to support myself, but I should also become more capable. I can't say I can surpass my parents, but I can make them proud of me instead of thinking that I am too bad and unworthy of being their daughter."

"Very good! Keep it up!" Yao Jingxue didn't know what else to say except to encourage her.

Alas, it is meaningless to talk about money and the future with these second-generation officials. What she is talking about is survival. However, if they want to talk to you about ideals and the expectations of their elders, we are not on the same wavelength at all.

"Oh, by the way, the furniture your brother makes is really good. My relatives saw the set of furniture in my room and wanted one too. Could you trouble your brother to make another set for them?"

Zhou Pingping asked again.

"Sure, no problem." Yao Jingxue said, "I'll go talk to him after dinner."

"Then I'll go with you. I haven't met your brother yet. I'd like to thank him in person."

Zhou Pingping said.

Yao Jingxue had no objection.

-

Yao Tianlei still works in the furniture factory, but this time he attends his shift very casually. He finishes whatever work he has and then takes a few days off. He does not go there every day.

The people in the furniture factory didn't say anything, and the leaders had already been warned.

Yao Jingxue and Zhou Pingping went to Yao Tianlei's house. He was at home, bored and making wooden hand-carvings.

"Brother, this is my friend Zhou Pingping."

Yao Jingxue knocked on the door, saw him, and introduced him with a smile.

Yao Tianlei glanced at Zhou Pingping, nodded, and said nothing.

Zhou Pingping's first impression of him was that this man was very cold, different from any other man she had met.

It's very different.

Zhou Pingping couldn't help but look at him twice more. He was quite handsome, with nice facial features.

"Brother, Pingping said that she has a relative who wants to make furniture, and she said that you have good skills, so she still wants you to do it."

Yao Jingxue knew her brother's temper, so she didn't exchange pleasantries and directly stated her purpose.

"Brother Yao, the furniture you made for me last time was really great. Thank you." Zhou Pingping also said with a smile.

"We trust your craftsmanship, so we want you to do it."

"Go to the furniture factory to place an order and have it made after the Chinese New Year," said Yao Tianlei.

"...Oh, no problem." Zhou Pingping was so overwhelmed by his frankness that she didn't know what to say.

Yao Jingxue knew that her brother didn't like being disturbed, so she said what needed to be said and prepared to take Zhou Pingping away.

Zhou Pingping was also ready to leave. Talking to Yao Tianlei was too oppressive and she felt a little uncomfortable.

However, when she turned around, she saw a cute little lamb wood carving on the table, which immediately attracted her attention.

This year is the Year of the Sheep, so putting this up is just perfect for the occasion.

"Brother Yao, are you selling this wood carving?" Zhou Pingping asked him.

"Not for sale." said Yao Tianlei.

"...I'm sorry." Zhou Pingping said quickly, "I offended you."

"Ahem, brother, do you have any wood carvings you want to sell? My friend is asking because he likes your craftsmanship." Yao Jingxue quickly spoke up to smooth things over.

Yao Tianlei took the lamb wood carving and threw it to Zhou Pingping, "If you want it, I'll give it to you. Get out of here."

After saying that, he went to the inner room, not caring that Yao Jingxue and Zhou Pingping had not left yet.

Zhou Pingping was stunned holding the wood carving. Yao Jingxue pulled her out of the door before she said, "Your elder brother is really different."

"He is just like that. He doesn't get close to anyone on weekdays and doesn't care about worldly etiquette, but he will help you when you need it most."

Yao Jingxue smiled at Zhou Pingping and said, "I hope you don't mind."

"Look at what you said. Why should I mind? I got such a beautiful wood carving for free. Then you can thank your brother for me later."

Zhou Pingping said with a smile.

She looked at the cute little lamb in her hands, and thought that with such a cold personality, he could make such a lovely thing, so his mind must be pure.

-

In the past year, almost all the educated youth who were able to return to the city have returned, and the urban population has increased a lot at once.

Zhou Pingping also felt that her father was even busier, and was so busy arranging jobs for these people that he almost had no time to eat.

Just after the second day of the Chinese New Year, I started working on the third day.

"Pingping, don't go out for a walk if you have nothing to do. Your dad said there have been a lot more fights recently, and there are also robberies. The public security is in chaos."

Mother Zhou warned her daughter worriedly.

"Oh, okay. I, I understand." Zhou Pingping agreed.

I stayed at home for a few days and didn't go out.

On the seventh day of the New Year, Zhou Pingping wanted to go out to find Yao Jingxue and ask her when she was going to Beijing so that they could buy tickets and go back together.

Mother Zhou didn't stop him. He just wanted to go find friends instead of wandering around the streets.

Although the public security is not good, it is not so bad that people cannot go out normally. It is not that outrageous.

But sometimes when I’m unlucky, even drinking cold water will get stuck in my teeth.

If you encounter some thugs who try to rob you in broad daylight, there is really no way to complain.

"I'll give you all the money I have, and you'll let me leave safely. Can't we just take a step back?"

Zhou Pingping suppressed the fear in her heart and spoke as calmly as possible.
