Chapter 3 Persuading Dad to quit his job and start a business failed

Ji Xiaobai walked to the vegetable market with a huge amount of money and bought 2 catties of pork belly, 2 catties of pork ribs, a 3 catties of big carp and peppercorns and other seasonings, and after thinking about it, he went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy 1 catty of Changbai cake and 1 bag of white rabbit toffee for his grandmother. Carrying a few bags of food, I sighed that life without a car and without an assistant was not easy!

It was exactly 11 o'clock when I got home. Grandpa was lying on the bed in the back room, grandma was sitting on the bench at the door of the room basking in the sun, and mom was cooking rice and preparing stir-fry.

"Milk, I bought it for you. Handing the long white cake and white rabbit toffee to grandma, Ji Xiaobai entered the house and prepared to stir-fry by himself, "This kid, why do you spend money indiscriminately, where did you get the money to buy so many things?"

"Grandma will keep the pocket money for you after you don't spend it for the family, we adults will spend money on everything you buy at home, and you can save your own money! Tiger child!" Grandma walked in with the snack she had just received, and was frustrated in Ji Xiaobai's head, with a smile and concern on her serious face, her mother listened to Grandma's words and didn't speak again, and was pushed into the house by Ji Xiaobai, "I'll cook lunch today!

......

Before 12 o'clock, my father came back from work, and the last squirrel carp was served, and the dinner table was in the grandparents' house, Ji's father looked at the braised pork on the table, stewed beans with pork ribs, shredded potatoes with pepper, squirrel carp and a big bowl of tofu ball soup A little surprised, this smell is too fragrant, and it looks like it is full of color and flavor.

After the meal, Dad looked at Ji Xiaobai and asked, "When did Xiaobai learn to cook?

"Nonsense! We Xiaobai are people who want to go to college and make a lot of money, whoever loves to be a cook will do it! Don't talk nonsense about delaying Xiaobai's study! By the way, good granddaughter, where are you going to study in high school!"

"One, three, six, nine or medium, I'll report whichever grandma likes!"

"Oh, my eldest granddaughter is really amazing, that grandma heard that the third middle school is the best, if you can be admitted to the third middle school, grandma will give you a gift, how about it?" grandma's usually serious face was full of smiles today, and her happy eyes were smiling.

"Okay, it's the third middle school!" Ji Xiaobai responded, it didn't take it as a big deal, she would go through day school from a new high school or university, and it is estimated that she will often ask for leave except for exams, and it will be the same everywhere.

Father Ji frowned, wanted to say something, looked at Ji Xiaobai and planned to go out and talk to her later. Ji Xiaobai saw Ji's father's eyes, and got busy helping his mother clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

Changed into a white shirt and black pants, Ji Xiaobai waited to go out with his parents.

Dad was wearing blue overalls, mother was in a white shirt and black pants like herself, the three of them took the bus to Hua Meixi's restaurant on Central Street, found a seat at the window, Dad ordered two sorbets, pushed them in front of Ji Xiaobai and his mother, and asked for a cup of boiled water. "Eat, I've promised you for a long time, just today on June 1st, this sorbet is more expensive than pork, 1 yuan a ball. If we know how to do it, how much money do we have to make to open a store!"

Listening to his father's words, looking at the three balls of sorbet in the bowl, a warmth flowed in his chest, his adoptive father was also very good to him in his previous life, but maybe he was not short of money, Ji Xiaobai never thought that he would be moved to tears because of these three small freezing points, looking at his father's somewhat tanned face, Ji Xiaobai was silent, it seems that she wants to speed up the pace of making money.

"Waiter, please give me an empty bowl and a spoon, thank you!" Ji Xiaobai took out a ball in each of his and his mother's bowls and put it in the empty bowl and handed it to his father, "Dad, let's eat together, the more people eat, the more fragrant!"

The father still wanted to return it, but was pushed by the mother, "The child will eat it for you, the child is sensible, you have to accept it, or she will feel that it is meaningless to do it if you don't form a habit." As he spoke, he glared at his father.

My father picked up the spoon and ate it together. "Well, it tastes good, and I don't know how to make it. ”

Ji Xiaobai looked at her mother and blinked, pursed her lips and smiled, she couldn't imagine that her mother usually doesn't speak, but when she speaks, she is so sharp, it seems that her idea that her mother is only suitable for being a housewife at home is incorrect!

"Xiaobai, in fact, my father's leader lover is the director of the 8th middle school in the key high school in Daowai District, I have inquired, if you go to school there, it will cost 100 yuan a year, 50 yuan a semester, including tuition, boarding fees, and meals to bring yourself, and 150 yuan a year is enough. ”

"Dad, didn't I promise my grandmother to go to No. 3 Middle School at noon?"

"Xiaobai, are you serious? I thought you were coaxing your grandmother to be happy, not to mention that the tuition fee for the third middle school is 200 yuan a year, the key is the admission score line, can you pass it? If you can really pass, Dad will definitely provide you with money to study in the third middle school!"

Ji Xiaobai looked at her mother because she heard her father's words, her right hand clenched her fist and released it, clenched it and released it, and after repeating it a few times, her mother raised her head and looked at her, "Xiaobai, my mother wants to listen to your heart, do you really want to take the third middle school exam?"

Ji Xiaobai thought that his mother was just worried about him, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely be able to pass the exam, in fact, my grades are very good!" Then he thought that he had won the 8th place in the class and the 51st place in the school in the last parent-teacher conference, and he couldn't help but blush.

Mom seemed to have made up her mind after listening to Ji Xiaobai's words. "Okay, as long as you study hard, don't think about anything else, your parents will support you!"

"By the way, Dad, I've always wanted to ask you if your salary is 30 a month?"

"It was 30 before, but it's up to 45 this year. You listen to your mother, don't think about money, you just need to study hard now!"

"No, Dad, I want to know how much our current house is worth? I heard my classmate say that there are two large yards in front of and behind her five houses, a total of more than 200 square meters, and the house is only worth more than 200 yuan. Our family is not counting the grandparents' in the middle of the uncle's house, just a room and a small yard behind it, a total of more than 20 meters, won't it be worth more than 20 yuan, right?"

"Your fellow scholar is from the surrounding county, H City's current housing prices are not a dollar and a meter, let's say that our more than 20 meters are worth 100 yuan!"

5 yuan a meter? Ji Xiaobai was instantaneous, leaving more than 100 spare in his pocket, and 1,000 yuan could buy a 200-meter house?

"Dad, in fact, do you want to consider resigning from the soda factory and doing business on your own? I see that my parents at the same table opened a restaurant last year, and now I can earn more than 300 a month!"

"Don't talk nonsense, children, you can earn a house a month, and there is gold in this meal!" Dad didn't believe her at all. I thought it was her table mate bragging about it.

"Dad, what I'm saying is true, so if it's true, you have to consider it? It's not that you have to be a hotel, now the national policy is open to encourage self-employed people to do business, whether it is to open a clothing store, snack bar, restaurant and many store options, you think about it is to sell tea eggs for a dime and a dime and earn 5 cents, 100 a day for 5 yuan, a month and 150 yuan, not to mention opening a store. Ji Xiaobai feels that he is now engaged in pyramid schemes, and he is trying to brainwash his father.

"Where to open a store? We don't have a house to open a store, and the restaurant is definitely not good, I don't have that skill with your mother, where can I get the goods in the clothing store? I don't understand with your mother, there is no person who knows how to take it, where are these things to do, and in case of loss, how can Dad provide for you to go to school!" Listening to her father's rebuttal, Ji Xiaobai was speechless, can she say: Dad, there are more than 1 billion gold in my space, you can pay as much as you want, you can do whatever you want! In the future, you can buy two bowls of soy milk, drink one bowl, throw one bowl, buy two cars, drive one and pull one, let's drive 100 meters to change cars?...... Hey, I can only think about it, the money that can be taken out directly is only 1,000 yuan, and I should prepare everything and mobilize my parents again!

At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, Dad went to work, Ji Xiaobai took his mother's arm and walked on the central street, "Mom, if you have a lot of money, what will you do with it?" she asked tentatively, "It is better to buy a 100-meter house with four rooms, one for you, one for me and your father, one for grandparents, and one for you...... Belch...... Leave another one as a guest room. Ji Xiaobai felt that something was strange, but she didn't ask, "Mom, apart from buying a house, do you have anything you want to do?" For example, learn to paint, music, or open your own clothing store to sell clothes or something. ”

"I want to buy a house with a big yard with fruits, vegetables, and sweet potatoes, and a few livestock, so that I don't go hungry if I run out of money. Mom pondered seriously. Ji Xiaobai was speechless again, my mother is doing it with the house, it's so difficult!

Walk to the Flood Control Memorial Tower, walk east along the Songhua River for more than half an hour and almost arrive home, Ji Xiaobai has been to H City to see the ice lanterns in his last life, and probably remembers the pattern of the city's development, the north of the Songhua River is called Jiangbei, and now he looks at the past is a barren place, and continues to walk along the riverside, and sees more people in front of him, "Mom, what is that for?" "Flower, bird and fish market, there seem to be some antiques or something." "Shall we go and see what we want?" Mom didn't answer, but walked straight there.

Walking past a few stalls and not seeing a genuine product, Ji Xiaobai was a little disappointed, and thought that this era was full of antiques, it seems that she thought too much! When she turned around, her eyebrows suddenly became hot, and then her eyes became sour, and when she opened it again, tears flowed out, she had learned too many skills in her previous life, but she didn't include medical skills, what was wrong with herself? The corner of her eyes flashed with a glimmer, very faint, she hurriedly walked to the next stall, picked up the glowing object to check. This is a pen holder? carefully staring at the object in his hand, looking at it suddenly felt that something was wrong, he actually saw the inside through the surface of the pen holder, I don't know who pasted a layer of purple sand outside, the inside is bronze undoubtedly, the key is that the pattern on it is too beautiful, although I don't know what age, but it must be an antique.

"Grandpa, how much does this pen holder cost?" Ji Xiaobai was cheeky and asked the price with an innocent and ignorant smile.

"Whose unlucky kid is this, you buy candy for a few cents?"

"Grandpa, I'm going to take the high school entrance exam soon, and my mother promised to give me a pen holder, I really like this, so you can sell it to me, please!" said and took out all the 1 cents, 2 cents and 5 cents in his pocket, "Grandpa, will I give you 1 cent and 5 lines?"

The old man looked at Li Xia behind Ji Xiaobai, with a white shirt and black pants, she didn't look like a rich person, and she wasn't too poor, and said with a smile, "This is the pen holder used by Tang Bohu, if you want to take it for 50 yuan, you won't sell it for a dime!"

Ji's mother wanted to help Xiaobai bargain and buy it, but when she heard the boss say 50, she shut up, stepped forward and pulled Xiaobai to leave.

Ji Xiaobai is helpless, it seems that he has to come again alone, follow his mother home, wash his face and lie on the bed, the first thing is to buy a house, this toilet has to walk more than 1000 meters to the public toilet, it is too inconvenient, it is even more unbearable to have a room with his parents, and it is difficult to take a bath and go to the backyard to take an open-air shower!

Ji Xiaobai turned over and got up, he couldn't rest, he went to buy some materials and came back to make more samples, so that he could sell them when the time came. Pushing open the door of the outhouse, I saw my sister Ji Xiaonuan puffing out her cheeks, looking at herself angrily, uh, I forgot about her! I rubbed my sister's head, "Don't bulge, I'm a pufferfish, let's go, go out with my sister!" My sister smiled and squinted instantly, hey, the children are so coaxing now.
