Chapter Seventy-Seven: Wildfire

When Cheng Ran came back that day, Xu Lan had already cooked the meal at home.

When he entered the door, Xu Lan walked over, ready to take him the book, "Come back......

Then he looked down, he should have seen his trouser leg, Cheng Ran's cracked trouser leg was knotted in the middle, and the socks and flesh were exposed, it was a little cold today, but Cheng Ran laughed, "Mom, is Dad back, starving to death." โ€

Now No. 1 Middle School implements a rotation system of single and double weekends, and there are no classes this Saturday, and there is no evening self-study this Friday.

Xu Lan took Cheng Ran's book, didn't look at his pants, but her voice was not as elated as before when her son came back, but was a little low, "Your father...... Haven't come back yet......"

When Cheng Ran came back, he went to the room to change his pants, came out and sat at the dinner table, looking at the freshly fried shredded pork and the hot hoof flower soup sprinkled with chopped green onions, salivating.

Every weekend when he comes back at this time, there will always be such a dish, it is estimated that Xu Lan is worried that he does not eat well in the school cafeteria every day, and replenishes the oil and water when he goes home like this, Cheng Ran picked up the chopsticks and put them on the table, "That's the same, he's been busy, you have been waiting for a long time, let's eat." โ€

"Oooh...... Good ......"

After eating, Cheng Ran took it to wash the dishes and brushed the pot, and walked back to ask Xu Lan, who didn't want her to help, "Mom, where is the sewing box, give it to me." โ€

Xu Lan hurriedly went to find a sewing kit and came out, and hesitated, "Otherwise, I'll sew it for you......"

"No, you can do it yourself. โ€

Cheng Ran smiled at her and took the sewing box, which was the iron box used to hold the white rabbit toffee, and it was used as storage after eating.

He took it back to his room and sewed the sweatpants stitch by stitch.

Xu Lan sat on the sofa in the living room, clasping her hands together and gently tying the knot.

She remembered the words of Yuan Chun in an office, "Today I bought a pair of Nike shoes and pants for my family Yuan Liang, which cost me more than 1,000 yuan! Hey! This child just doesn't have to worry about it, speaking of which, this kid in my family has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on me since he was a child! This is a money-losing goods!"

Xu Lan was still surprised at the time and responded, "More than a thousand yuan? Just a pair of shoes and a pair of pants are so expensive? One of our Cheng Ran's sweatpants was given to him by his brother before, five or six years, I also gave it to him to wear, anyway, the young man grows fast, and he can't wear it long after he buys a new one!"

"Hey, I didn't say you, your family Cheng Ran, it didn't matter before, but now that the boy has grown up, he has to save face...... His grades are so good, it's enough to worry, you can't treat him badly in this regard!"

"What's that...... Thrift is a virtue. โ€

The conversation with Yuan Chun is still vivid.

And now, looking at Cheng Ran's door, she walked back to her bedroom, opened the cabinet door, and took out a stack of money from the pocket of her coat. It was the family's living expenses for the month, she counted them, and then ...... I made up my mind.

The next day, Cheng Ran was dragged out by Xu Lan.

Then he was taken to the sports brand mall in Shanhai. Cheng Ran was slightly stunned, this sports brand shopping mall is a very famous place in this small city this year, some international sports high-end brands such as Nike Adi and AJ are here, and it is a notoriously expensive shopping mall in Shanhai City, and it is not rich or expensive to buy things here in the eyes of ordinary people. Once Xu Lan also jokingly told Cheng Ran that if you do well in the final exam, your mother will reward you to buy a set of clothes there.

Of course, Cheng Ran has listened to this kind of words all his life, and he has never fulfilled it, basically Xu Lan will only take him to the clothing wholesale markets in the mountains and seas to choose clothes.

"Mom, what are you ...... Reward me for doing well in my midterm exam?"

"That's right...... Choose your clothes, pants and shoes. โ€

Cheng Ran looked over, "Isn't my dad still making money, his salary hasn't been paid this month, the family's living expenses are so tight, can he buy such expensive things?"

Xu Lan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "The last time I bought you clothes was during the Spring Festival in February, I haven't bought them for you for so long...... And you've grown up, so you should buy some expensive ones, lest your classmates have them and you don't. โ€

Cheng Ran laughed dumbly, no wonder, with his mother's temperament, how could he see that his pants were rotten yesterday, but he didn't say a word.

I was waiting for myself here.

Cheng Ran looked at the bag Xu Lan was carrying and the coat she was wearing, which was the best clothes she was wearing, so she smiled, walked over and picked out a pair of PUMA sweatpants with a price tag of 249, and then went straight to the waiter to open the bill and settle the bill, "That's it." โ€

At this time, the premium of Adinake, a first-line sports brand that has entered the country, is still very high, and in this era when the salary of an employee does not exceed 1,000 yuan, it is already five or six hundred at every turn, and it should be the top luxury that ordinary students can access.

And PUMA is going to be cheaper, Cheng Ran knows his mother's posture, and he won't leave if he doesn't buy her.

"As long as this one?" Xu Lan hesitated, "Why don't you ......choose again?"

"That's enough, just a pair of pants are broken. After Xu Lan settled the bill, Cheng Ran twisted the bag and walked out of the mall with his mother.

The money for this pair of pants is already the value of a whole set of clothes on Cheng Ran's body during the New Year's holidays, but Xu Lan still looks guilty.

Cheng Ran smiled, turned around, and pointed to the thirteen-story shopping mall behind him, "Mom, believe it or not, one day my dad will have the money to point out casually, not only the goods in this mall, but the entire building and this piece of land can be bought in one pot." โ€

Xu Lan scoffed, "You will say this to make you happy, your father's virtue...... Don't I know yet, I can be rich and rich in this life? Forget it, I don't want to be so much, I just can get by!"

"Our family will have some family capital in the future, and I will be satisfied with giving you a marriage and a daughter-in-law!"

......

......

Cheng Ran's brothers contacted each other, and the eldest brother Cheng Qi was in full swing to promote board games. Cheng Qi University Club recruited new students, and entered the entrepreneurial club of the normal school, and it seems that in any university, the entrepreneurial club will definitely rank at the top of the list of club popularity. It's also easy to find motivated and like-minded students.

Cheng Ran found a few people, and he could also share his energy, and everyone worked together to carry out this promotion, which is said to have done enough advertising in the university town, and most of the commissaries were used as their distribution points...... Surprisingly good. And because of the limited production capacity, Cheng Qi suggested that the price of a pair be raised, and Cheng Ran agreed to raise the price to 69 yuan a pair.

At this time, there are many college students who have leisure and have money, and those who have no money and leisure are generally not interested in their board games. The student life itself is relatively boring, and to their surprise, the Three Kingdoms Kill did not become popular in the school water bar, but first became a popular game from the student dormitory.

At this time, there are not many students who can install computers in their dormitories, and then the strong attraction of the Three Kingdoms theme of Three Kingdoms Killing, coupled with the beautiful and direct character drawings that even subvert the inherent image of the Three Kingdoms, plus the killing game mechanics of Bang!. It's almost instantaneous to get hot in the dormitory.

Sixty-nine yuan a pair of chess is very popular, and whoever has a pair has simply become the darling of several nearby dormitories. The students don't play poker anymore, they get together to play board games, although the Three Kingdoms Kill can be played by ten people, but the game experience of eight people is generally at the top.

The extra people can only scratch their ears and cheeks on the side and wait for the long rotation.

But there is also a solution, which is to buy another pair and pull other people to play.

Initially, the students of the Department of Computer Science first played this game, and it spread from a few dormitories to one floor, from one floor, to the Xingyuan No. 1 dormitory building of the Computer Science Department, and then the epidemic was common, and the No. 2 dormitory building also began.

Immediately afterward, several nearby dormitories and departments began to buy board games.

From the initial month of silence, to the next month or two, more than 200 sets of board games that were put on the market in advance were sold out, and many of the commissary vendors around the school were sold out and booked at least ten sets.

In the end, Cheng Qi's total revenue: two months and nine days after the start of school, 14,774 yuan.

This trend is still expanding at an unknown speed and scale.

It's like a fire, already burning.

And on all sides of this fire, there was a dry grass and mustard, and it covered the plains of the earth.
