Return To 1998

In half a year, something happened naturally.

For example, Tongdao Xu's savings exceeded 150,000.

It's really hard to save this amount of money.

From his rebirth, it took almost a whole year, from the beginning of selling fish and shrimp for money, to setting up a street stall to sell barbecue, to opening a barbecue restaurant, launching a whole sheep feast, and going to the Zhiweixuan part-time job in Zhangcheng... …

He tried his best and worked day and night. Since he set up a street stall, he was busy almost every night until one or two in the morning before he could go back to sleep.

Get up early every morning.

In addition to these efforts, during the period when he first came to this red light street to set up a stall, he had to fight with Shaved Zhang, Xi Dongyang and others.

He himself felt that he was earning the money very hard.

Compared with the protagonists of the few rebirth novels he had read before, he was ashamed, and he felt ashamed of all the rebirthers.

But he was also at ease.

Because this money, every cent and every cent, was earned by him himself, and he did not commit rape or cheating, and it was in line with the core values ​​of socialism.

Therefore, he did not dare to touch the hard-earned 150,000 yuan. This was the first pot of gold he had earned after his rebirth, and he hoped to use this money to earn more.

Without capital, even if he is a rebirth and has the advantage of a prophet, what can he do?

Even if he knows very well that investing in a certain treasure in the early stage of its creation, he will have a very high return in the future, but if he has no capital, what is it?

There are also Internet companies such as Penguin, Moudong, etc. Xu Tongdao knows that if he invests in it as soon as possible, he will definitely make a lot of money in the future, but...all of these require a premise that he must be rich.

And now, after a year of accumulation, he has the first 150,000.

This amount of money, in 20 years, may not be enough for the down payment of a county house, but in 1999, it can do something.

For example, to buy a house, then buy a car, with the extra money, you can also marry a daughter-in-law by the way.

Of course, this is just an analogy, Xu Tongdao can't really do this.

...

In addition to the breakthrough in the number of deposits,

His younger brother Xu Tonglu's high school entrance examination was not only over, but the results were also released a few days ago.

Xu Tonglu did well in the exam this time and did not disappoint Xu Tongdao.

637 points.

It was the highest score among all those who participated in the high school entrance examination this time in their middle school.

He is also the only student in their middle school who was admitted to the County No. 1 Middle School this year.

It was a great event for their middle school.

In Xu Tongdao's class last year, none of their entire third grade graduating class reached the admission threshold of the county's No. 1 middle school.

Xu Tonglu did so well this time, and Xu Tongdao was very happy. He specially rewarded Xu Tonglu 500 yuan for pocket change, and... he went to his store to bring dishes to the county No. 1 Middle School to start school.

Yes!

In Xu Tongdao's heart, 500 yuan is a reward, and it is also a reward for his younger brother Xu Tonglu to come to his store to serve dishes.

He is consciously cultivating Xu Tonglu's hard-working spirit, and he wants to let Xu Tonglu see the difficulty of earning money as soon as possible, as well as the variety of living beings.

In his shop, serving dishes, you will definitely see many people every day, people from all walks of life, men and women, young and old, people of various occupations and personalities.

He doesn't like to train Xu Tonglu into a nerd.

He has always known his brother Xu Tonglu's pride and rebelliousness in his bones, especially with the final exam last year and the results of this high school entrance examination, Xu Tonglu has twice been the first in the whole grade of their high school, and this high school entrance examination result is even more Their middle school is the only one admitted to the county's No. 1 middle school this year.

Although Xu Tonglu was in front of him, he didn't say anything arrogant.

But Xu Tongdao could see it - this kid's heart is more arrogant than before.

This is what Xu Tongdao wants to change.

He allows his younger brother to be proud in his bones, but he does not allow him to show his pride on the surface.

He remembered reading a sentence before, and he thought it was quite right - one can be arrogant, but not arrogant.

Pride flowed on the surface, and when Xu Tonglu stepped into society in the future, he would definitely run into walls everywhere, and his head would be broken.

That would be a shame.

Although Xu Tonglu was surprised by Xu Tongdao's arrangement, he did not resist. He packed his luggage honestly, followed Xu Tongdao to the county seat, came to Daolin BBQ, and became an unpaid handyman. The job is to carry the dishes, collect the dishes, and occasionally wash the dishes.

Every day, I eat and live with Xu Tongdao.

...

In the past six months, in addition to the above two things.

There is one more thing that is also worth mentioning.

That is Ge Liangcai's dog meat restaurant. In the two or three months since it opened at the beginning of the year, the business of Liangcai's dog meat restaurant was really good, and some people went in every night to consume.

Xu Tongdao remembered that during that time, Ge Liangcai smiled every day, and his uncle (Ge Liangcai's father) Ge Zhongqian also helped Ge Liangcai to buy local dogs in the countryside every day, and every day the purchased local dogs were delivered to Ge Liangcai's store.

During that time, Ge Zhongqian was also very happy. Although he always said that he was tired, he lost weight and tanned, but the smile on his face revealed his true emotions.

Every time Xu Tongdao smoked him, Ge Zhongqian also enjoyed it.

During that time, Zhang Wenxiu came to Liangcai Dog Meat Restaurant very often. Almost every night after get off work, he would come to help... collect money.

To Ge Liangcai, Zhang Wenxiu also seemed very gentle and considerate during that time.

With a gentle smile and gentle concern, Tongdao Xu even saw her gently making tea for Ge Liangcai and pinching her shoulders several times. Zhang Wenxiu also showed her heart to Ge Zhongqian. , she will immediately make tea for Ge Zhonggan, and then immediately go to call Ge Zhonggan with Ge Liangcai's cigarettes.

And what about Ge Zhong?

As far as Xu Tongdao occasionally heard in the past, I heard his uncle Ge Zhongqian praise Zhang Wenxiu more than once or twice, and he and Ge Liangcai, and even told Zhang Wenxiu more than once, let them hurry up and try to get married by the end of this year. .

Then quickly give birth to a child and throw it to Ge Liangcai's mother to take.

Tongdao Xu remembered that during that time, every time his uncle Ge Zhongqian talked about this, he looked very satisfied. He knew that it was his uncle's longing for his own life.

During that time, Zhang Wenxiu always seemed shy and happy.

On the contrary, Ge Liangcai retorted with a helpless smile every time, saying that he was in no hurry, and that he would make more money.

but……

As the temperature gradually increased, the business of Liangcai Dog Meat Restaurant gradually faded.

Many old customers have said that when the weather is hot, they dare not eat dog meat for fear of nosebleeds.

These old customers said it casually, but more and more people said it, the business of Ge Liangcai's dog meat restaurant became less and less, and the smile on Ge Liangcai's face became less and less. Ge Zhonggan, who used to deliver dogs to his store every day, slowly Slowly it has become once every three or five days.

Even Zhang Wenxiu has only been here once or twice a week recently.

Occasionally, not even once a week.
