A small town in northern Guangdong Province, grain institute.

It is in full swing here, and farmers from the town are transporting rice with tractors, bucket trucks and other tools.

They came here because they had to pay agricultural taxes, which are commonly known as surplus grain.

This is based on the area of cultivated land of each household to determine the weight of surplus grain to be paid.

Every year in July and August, it is the hottest time of the year, and everyone is sweating like rain.

Among the busy figures, there was a 19-year-old young man.

He has a high nose, slanted eyebrows, clear eyes, a tall figure, a sturdy body, slightly dark skin, and a hairstyle of three or seven points.

His name is Guo Wendong, and he is an ordinary farmer.

Unlike the others, he has crossed over from the soul of 2020.

Travel back to 1992, the year he was admitted to university, and it was now early August.

He followed his father and sister and was busy for a while, and finally paid this year's surplus food.

"Brother Ahua, congratulations on your son's admission to a prestigious university!"

Before leaving, the staff of the grain institute once again congratulated Guo Zhonghua.

A few days ago, Guo Zhonghua's son, Guo Wendong, received an admission letter from Zhongshan University.

Zhongshan University is the highest university in Guangdong Province and a national key university.

In this era when the admission rate is very low and the number of university students is limited, as long as you can be admitted to the normal school and technical secondary school, you are a very literate person.

Since the reform and opening up, Guo Wendong's underwater village has only produced two junior college students, he is the first undergraduate, and it is also a national key university.

His son was admitted to a prestigious university to win glory for him, Guo Zhonghua had a light on his face, and he said when he met people, for fear that others would not know, and soon caused a sensation in the whole village.

"I just believe that my son can do it!" Guo Zhonghua responded with a smile, but he was angry!

On the way home, my father drove a tractor in front, and Guo Wendong and his sister Guo Liyun sat in the open car in the back.

Guo Wendong hummed a brisk song, and he was in a very good mood.

In the last time and space, 2020, he was already middle-aged, and his soul accidentally traveled back to his youth.

In addition to life, what is the most precious thing in life? Many people will think that it is money and career, and Guo Wendong thinks that it is time. Time is fair to everyone, whether it is poor or rich, whether it is success or failure, everyone is 24 hours a day, not one more minute or one second, time has passed and it has become history, time will not return, life cannot be repeated.

Unexpectedly returned to 1992, back to those green years, giving him a chance to start over in life, which is the favor of God.

The younger sister next to her is the opposite, since her brother received the admission letter shortly, she has been depressed and silent, with heavy sorrow between her eyebrows and her eyes a little red and swollen.

The underwater village is very close to the town, and the tractor quickly drives to the doorstep.

Guo Wendong's home, like most people in the village, is a typical earthen embryo house in the southern countryside.

This kind of earthen embryo house generally has a double room, and it is not too hot in summer.

Back at the door of the house, the local dog raised by the family wagged its tail and walked to Guo Wendong's feet.

Guo Wendong liked this earth dog very much and touched its head.

It's evening now, and it just so happens that her mother Xie Xiaolian is carrying her burden home, and she goes to the vegetable market to buy vegetables at noon, and half of it is not sold.

In the countryside, the sun rises and the sun sets.

"It didn't sell well today, it only sold for three and a half dollars!" said Mom.

"I'm hungry, go cook!" Guo Zhonghua said in a commanding tone: "Ah Yun, you go and help cook!"

Guo Liyun ignored it, went straight into the bedroom, and locked the door.

Her brother was admitted to a prestigious university, and she was happy for her brother from the bottom of her heart, but she wanted her to drop out of school, and she was very dissatisfied with her parents.

Seeing their daughter like this, Guo Zhonghua and Xie Xiaolian also felt helpless.

Guo Zhonghua said to his son: "You have to comfort your sister a lot!"

Guo Wendong nodded in response.

In the hall, Guo Zhonghua turned on the 14-inch Venus brand black-and-white TV and watched it with relish.

"Tuk tuk tuk" Guo Wendong knocked on his sister's bedroom door.

"Ah Yun, I have something to discuss with you!"

Guo Liyun opened the door, and closed the door after Guo Wendong entered.

There are several celebrity stickers on the walls of the room, including Zhang Xueyou, Zhang Guorong, Nizi, Li Jiaxin, and Yang Yuying.

Guo Liyun was depressed, didn't ask her brother what was wrong, and sat on the edge of the bed with her head down.

Two days after Guo Wendong was admitted to Zhongshan University, Guo Zhonghua became worried about his son's tuition fee, and discussed with his wife to let his daughter drop out of school.

Once the daughter drops out of school, not only does she lose her education expenses, but she can also go to work to earn money to support the family.

Guo Liyun, like her brother, is very hard at studying, since junior high school, she has been a top student every semester, and her grades are among the best in the class.

Helplessly, the family conditions do not allow it, and the parents are farmers, who make a living from farming, and it is not easy for the brothers and sisters to go to high school in the county and pay for tuition and living expenses.

My son was admitted to college and provided for a college student, which is the limit of what he can afford.

The countryside itself is patriarchal, and the son was admitted to a prestigious university first, so he could only make his daughter sacrifice.

Since that day, every night, whenever Guo Liyun is alone in the bedroom, she has been crying, and her eyes are swollen from crying.

Guo Wendong asked in a low voice, "Do you still want to go to college?"

"Of course I want to! I want to be like you and be admitted to a prestigious university!" This is Guo Liyun's greatest expectation, and her brother's words were asked to her heart, and she immediately answered.

"As long as you listen to me, I will definitely help you continue your studies next year!" Guo Wendong replied.

"Really?" Listening to her brother's words, Guo Liyun's emotions were immediately mobilized, the sorrow between her eyebrows was swept away, and she asked urgently: "Brother, how can you help me re-study?"

Guo Wendong lowered his voice and said: "Have you heard of work-study? I have a way to earn money, if you follow me to Nanzhou at the end of the month, I will definitely be able to earn enough money for you to study." ”

Guo Liyun asked: "Even if you go to the city to work, you can work full-time for two or three hundred a month." Brother, you still have to study at the same time, how can you earn so much money. ”

Guo Wendong said: "You believe me, anyway, if you are going to work after farming, I will persuade my father to let you go south with me, and I will tell you what the solution is, I promise you that as long as you are willing to help me, you will definitely be allowed to go to the third year of high school next year." ”

Half a year after Xie Xiaolian gave birth to Guo Wendong, she became pregnant again, and gave birth to Guo Liyun 10 months later. My sister's age is only one year and four months younger than my brother, and this year is the second year of high school and the third year of high school.

What the hell is my brother going to do? Guo Liyun was in a fog and said solemnly: "Brother, what way do you have, you won't be going to do direct sales! This thing must not be touched!"

Although it was not until 1998 that pyramid schemes were completely banned, by this time, in addition to those who were deeply involved, many people in the outside world had already seen the harmfulness of pyramid schemes. Guo Liyun has junior high school classmates who go to MLM.

Guo Wendong said with a smile: "You can rest assured, it is absolutely legal and will never harm anyone." As long as you still have the opportunity to study, you will definitely be able to be admitted to a prestigious university. A bright future, let's create it together!"

Guo Liyun nodded, she was already desperate, the relationship between the brother and sister has always been very good, and she believes that her brother will not lie to her.

With the help of his sister, Guo Wendong is very confident that in this time and space, he will be able to start from scratch quickly.

In the last time and space, Guo Wendong worked in a foreign company after graduation, and a few years later, he failed to start a business with others, but fortunately he lost not much money.

After starting a family, he worked with several people to conduct research, and finally developed a beverage recipe that can not only ensure a good taste, but also really reduce fire.

Coke and Wang Laoji are all successful drinks and examples for him to learn.

With a good recipe in hand, Guo Wendong believes that he will definitely be able to do it.

If you want to achieve a career, being young has the advantage of being young.

When you are young, you don't have a family, you can travel lightly to start a business, but if you don't have enough experience, social experience, and enough contacts, the probability of entrepreneurial failure is more than 95%.

Some people are middle-aged, compared with their youth, they have a certain amount of social experience, industry experience, and a certain number of contacts, which is their advantage, but they have already got married, have family responsibilities, and have concerns, and they can't bear any failures, and it is difficult to let go of them without restraint, which is a disadvantage compared to the younger ones.

After getting married, Guo Wendong was very cautious, he partnered with a few like-minded people, spent several years painstakingly researching the beverage formula, and after countless experiments, finally developed a beverage formula that can not only reduce fire and prevent fire, but also ensure good taste.

Just as he was about to make a big move, Guo Wendong unexpectedly traveled back to the 19-year-old period.

The current Guo Wendong has many years of experience in the last time and space, the ability to improve social experience, and is familiar with the social changes from 1992 to 2020.

Since he is fortunate to make a life all over again, Guo Wendong wants to change his original development trajectory, vowing to do a big career and realize the dream he had in the last time and space.

And her younger sister Guo Liyun, after dropping out of school last time and space, has never had the opportunity to re-enter the campus.

However, her pursuit of knowledge and culture, the desire to learn has always been extinguished, and later she studied for exams while working, and also obtained a bachelor's degree, and became a more successful professional woman in the workplace.

Guo Wendong will not let himself regret it, nor will he let his sister regret it.

Having mastered the beverage formula with great market value, and relying on his own ability, Guo Wendong has great confidence that the probability of success is more than 99%.

Guo Wendong still wants to study, and he must have the help of someone who is absolutely trustworthy to do both reading and starting a business, and his sister is the best candidate.

Her brother gave her hope again, and Guo Liyun smiled.

"Let's go, let's help mom cook!"

The siblings came out of the bedroom and came to the kitchen to help with the cooking.

The dish for dinner was three servings of green vegetables stir-fried in lard, and this is the dish for a family of four tonight.

In the nineties, the standard of living was not high, and only during the New Year's holidays was he willing to buy meat, usually eating vegetables, adding a few pieces of lard residue to each dish.

In the hall, the ceiling fan is blowing, and the black-and-white TV is playing the TV series of Guangdong Provincial TV.

The family sat around the dining table, eating and watching TV.

Guo Zhonghua saw that his daughter's mood was much better, and it was estimated that his son's comfort had an effect.

The earth dog wagged his tail and looked up at the dining table, Guo Wendong picked up a piece of lard residue and threw it down, and the earth dog immediately ate it.

Guo Wendong clearly remembers that now this local dog is 3 years old and has been raised for 12 years until it is very old, but at that time, my father disliked the dog and could no longer take care of the home, so he slaughtered and ate it.

Rural dogs are very easy to raise, leftovers, and you can eat white rice and white porridge.

Halfway through dinner, Guo Zhonghua said solemnly: "Dongzai, you are the pride of our family, I will sell iron to provide for you after 4 years of college, and you will definitely have a decent job after graduation." In a few days, sell the remaining pig, all the chickens and ducks, and most of the grain, which should be almost enough for your tuition. If that's not enough, I'll borrow some from your uncle and third aunt. ”

After eating enough, Guo Wendong said: "Abba, my sister is also going to work in the provincial capital, so let's just set off with me at the end of the month, junior high school classmate A Bing bought a BB machine, I contacted him and asked him to help my sister introduce a job, he said no problem, introduce her to a Western restaurant as a waiter." ”

The countryside belongs to the society of acquaintances, in junior high school, A Bing once came to the house to play with Guo Wendong, graduated from junior high school and was not admitted to school, Guo Zhonghua remembers this person, now in a Western restaurant in Nanzhou as a Western chef, the salary is okay.

Guo Zhonghua nodded and said, "It's okay, it would be better if Ah Yun could learn some skills! It's not bad to be a Western-style chef like Ah Bing." ”

Guo Wendong said: "Let's go to Nanzhou first to stabilize and then talk." ”

said that asking Ah Bing to introduce the job was just an excuse, and he found a "legitimate reason" to let his sister go south with him.

In the days that followed, the family of four was very busy.

The agricultural work in the south starts from harvesting rice, and after harvesting, it is necessary to dry the grain, hand over the surplus grain, plough the field (ploughing the field is to use oxen as the power, and hang the plough tool to loosen the soil in the field), harrow the field (use the ox as the power, hang the rake to break up the loose soil), and pull out the seedlings and transplant the rice in the next season.

It is not until the next season's rice planting is completed that the farming is over.

In addition to the remaining farm work, I also have to mill rice, go to the vegetable market to sell vegetables, chickens, ducks, and rice, and I am very busy every day.

In the market, as long as he meets someone who has a little impression, Guo Zhonghua will definitely tell him that his son has been admitted to Zhongshan University and will be angry in front of others.

Whenever he sees the envy of others, Guo Zhonghua is happy in his heart, and asks the whole town, who can be as good as his son in reading.

Until the 25th of this month, all the chickens and ducks raised at home have been sold, and the rice milled from the rice has been sold by 9 percent, and only their own food is left.

At dinner today, Guo Wendong said: "I want to go to Nanzhou early and leave the day after tomorrow." ”

Mom and Dad were puzzled.

Guo Zhonghua said: "Isn't it just the 1st to start signing up? It's not too late to go back on the 31st or 1st, and it's good to go south a little later and save two or three days of food expenses." ”

Guo Wendong explained: "Let's go over and get familiar with the environment first! Besides, my sister goes early, and maybe she can join the western restaurant on September 1st." The soldier said that the western restaurant is very formal, and it is generally rare to join the company halfway through the month, if you can't go to work on September 1st, it will be postponed to October 1st, where the waiter is covered with food and accommodation, and the salary is 130 yuan a month. ”

In fact, he had to rent the rent two or three days in advance, get ready, find out this very valid reason, and persuade his father to let him go.

Xie Xiaolian said: "Let my daughter go to work early and get an extra month's salary." ”

Guo Zhonghua felt the same, and said to his daughter: "Ah Yun, it's okay for you to go to Nanzhou to work, and you can take care of yourself in the provincial capital with your brother." My brother is still two months short of living expenses in the first semester, so it's okay for you to bear it, right?"

Guo Liyun reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said perfunctorily: "Dad, Mom, don't worry, my brother and I will take care of each other." ”

This is not a part-time job at a western restaurant at all. In the past month, she has asked her brother several times, what is the way to make money? My brother always replied: You will know when the time comes!

What kind of way is it? Guo Liyun was aroused by great curiosity.

Although she has been hanging on her appetite, she believes in her brother's character, not to mention that she can count on her brother if she can study again, and she can only cooperate with her brother to lie to his parents.

As for how to start, Guo Wendong has a complete plan.

In the last time and space, Guo Wendong and several partners researched the formula and process flow of the drink, as long as they purchased all the materials, they could preliminarily prepare the drink, which required a certain amount of capital.

The money you have to bring with you to go to college is the capital of Guo Wendong's start.

Guo Wendong combined with the price level during this period, and after specific estimates, he brought three months of living expenses, which was enough as the starting capital.
