At night.

Under the frosty moonlight, a motorcycle suddenly moved on the empty road, the speed was not fast, but the weather was relatively cold, and the two people in the car were a little shivering.

The motorcycle turned into the alley and slowed down.

Back at the Friendship Guest House, Wang Qiang and Zhu Xiaofeng worked together to carry the motorcycle in.

in the hall.

Zhu Xiaofeng's face was red from the cold, but he couldn't stop being excited: "Today's turnover is more than a dozen yuan more than yesterday." ”

Wang Qiang, who was already exhausted, showed a satisfied smile, "Yes, it's not in vain, let's stay up until ten o'clock." "Look at your watch," it's almost half past ten, hurry up and wash up to go to bed early, and tomorrow I have to get up early to open the door. ”

Zhu Xiaofeng muttered: "It's really tiring to open a store, if only my dad were here, let him go every morning, I will go to work at noon, and I can sleep well." ”

Hearing this, Wang Qiang was speechless for a moment, the son of the old Zhu family had a good personality, but he was a little lazy, so he only persisted for three days and complained bitterly. However, Xiao Feng's words made Wang Qiang's heart move, yes, Lao Zhu and his wife have been gone for two days, when will they come back? The total turnover of these two days has almost reached their goal, and it is estimated that tomorrow will be another day, and it should be completed.

If Lao Zhu and his wife don't come back, they can't leave Zhu Xiaofeng alone in the game room, right?

Don't talk about being so kind or not, just talk about his lazy character, if Zhu Xiaofeng is really allowed to watch the store alone, I'm afraid it will be possible to open the door at noon, and it is impossible for Wang Qiang to leave him alone.

It stands to reason that it will not take too long to worship the ancestors.

On the contrary, the round-trip journey is a hard injury, and now the traffic is not very convenient, although Wuhu to Shanghai is only more than 300 kilometers, but it will take about eight or nine hours to take a bus.

Hopefully I'll be back tomorrow.

"I'm going to sleep, and you go to bed early. After Wang Qiang finished speaking, he walked upstairs.

Second floor.

Wang Qiang strolled alone in the corridor, smelling the words coming from the window and the faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers, he had a refreshing sense of comfort.

Thinking that he was about to go home, he sighed slightly, these days are hard enough, he can finally rest for two days, inexplicably sleepy to get rid of a lot, looked up at the night sky, only to find that the autumn night sky is as beautiful as his mood, the crescent moon hangs in the light blue sky, as if it is a boat floating in a clear river, his mood is very quiet, it is a kind of tranquility full of confidence after having money.

Money is a man's guts.

Taizu once said that he was not afraid to learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well and go all over the world, and Wang Qiang felt that he should not be afraid to go all over the world if he had money in his pocket.

Wang Qiang suddenly recalled his uncle's daughter, every time she was sick, her aunt would cook her a bowl of instant noodles, and this was a rare delicacy for her cousin, people were poor, short horses, thin and long, eternal truth, and later his uncle went abroad to work and earn money, Wang Qiang asked his cousin again if instant noodles were delicious, her face was full of disgust enough to explain everything.

Maybe money isn't everything.

But no money is absolutely impossible.

There are two lines in "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" that are very touching -

"Is life always hard? or is it just childhood?"

"Always. ”

Wang Qiang doesn't want to be "always like this", let alone his own children, so he is using his hands to create a dream, a dream that will not let himself and his family be "always like this".

……

The next day, after 3 p.m.

Lao Zhu and his wife got out of the car, and the couple chatted about worshipping their ancestors.

"Lao Zhu, what did you say happened to the game room?"

"I don't know, Xiao Wang is steady, he should be good. ”

"Why don't we go and have a look?"

"Cheng, take the bus, just to get the motorcycle. ”

The couple chatted along the way and rushed to QH Road, and soon came to the game room.

When they walked to the door, the couple saw that there were thirty or fifty guests inside, many of whom were playing games with cigarettes in their mouths, and the smoke was full of miasma.

Originally, the proprietress was a little clean, but after seeing it, not only was she not disgusted, but she sighed, "Lao Zhu, the game room business is so good?"

Lao Zhu said in confusion: "I didn't have any business when I left." ”

"Xiao Wang is really good. The proprietress praised it: "Two or three days of hard work to run the game room is impressive, no wonder he said before that he wanted to make a game room, I asked if it was profitable, and he was modest and said not necessarily, together with a look now, so profitable?"

Lao Zhu patted his chest, "That's, don't look at who the brother is." ”

"Phew. The proprietress said disdainfully: "Most of you are fox friends and dog friends, how many people like Xiao Wang are so thick?"

The two walked in while talking, but they didn't see Zhu Xiaofeng, but they saw Wang Qiang talking to Scarface with a plaster cast on his arm in front of the counter.

“…… Falling thunder array, how can I not break the password according to the up, down, left, right, and up and down?"

"Didn't you take Zhuge Liang in the lead?"

"Huh?

"Yes, Zhuge Liang must be the first, otherwise it is useless. ”

The couple couldn't wait to walk up, Lao Zhu said loudly: "Xiao Wang, what about this kid Xiao Feng?" ”

Wang Qiang looked sideways and saw that it was Lao Zhu and his wife, he didn't care about talking to Dong Xiaowu, and immediately replied: "Xiaofeng went down to buy lunch, it will be too busy at noon, and we haven't eaten until now." He was overjoyed that the couple had finally returned, and according to the current trend, the business would close today, and they should be able to scrape together enough money for themselves.

Hearing this, the proprietress was distressed, "Why don't you eat on time." ”

The three of them stood and chatted for a while.

"Brother Zhu, eldest sister, I make an excessive request. Wang Qiang looked at the couple sincerely, and said: "I want to go back to my hometown tomorrow, I need some money, but the game room is opened in partnership, I want to talk to you, divide the money earned in the past few days first, as for the future, you can end the week and the month, do you think it will be successful?"

The proprietress said happily: "You are the big boss, you have the final say in the game room." ”

Lao Zhu followed with concern, "Is the money enough?" If it's not enough, I can borrow you more." ”

"Enough, enough, thank you, Brother Zhu. Wang Qiang waved his hand and said, he was already thinking about whether to pull Lao Zhu to run business with him, after getting along for so long, Lao Zhu really had nothing to say to himself, and Wang Qiang felt that it was difficult to do business alone, even if he achieved something, it was not conducive to expanding the scale of business.

As the saying goes, if there is money to earn together, everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, since ancient times, it is difficult for one person to achieve great things.

Zhu Yuanzhang has eighty-one founding heroes.

Jack Ma has eighteen Arhats who created Alibaba.

There are too many examples, Wang Qiang's ambition is not so big, but he also understands that many people have more strength, and maybe some profits will be shared, but the value created by the more people will be more, and he is already designing the road in the future.

……

At night.

Because Lao Zhu came back, Zhu Xiaofeng, who hadn't slept well for several days, slipped away at five o'clock in the afternoon. Today, business has dropped slightly, and some people may have finished playing with intelligence cards.

Around 9:20, the game room was empty.

Wang Qiang and Lao Zhu took inventory, and he proofread the time on the machine as before.

Suddenly, a stack of tickets came over in front of me.

He was slightly stunned and looked at Lao Zhu.

Lao Zhu smiled and said: "I just looked at the account book, including today, our total turnover is two thousand two hundred and five, you account for seventy percent of the shares, it should be divided into one thousand five hundred and seventy-five, and I have made up one thousand six for you." ”

Wang Qiang was not polite, took the money, and smiled, "Come on, I'll pay for the electricity then, don't rob me." ”

Lao Zhu said: "If I don't rob you, when will you come back?"

Wang Qiang said: "About two or three days, you can help me find out if there is a house to rent nearby, preferably two bedrooms and one living room, and then I may bring my mother to Shanghai together." ”

Lao Zhu agreed.

Lock.

The brothers went downstairs.

When he walked downstairs, Wang Qiang looked up at the game room on the second floor, this was his first industry, and he had achieved a small success temporarily, at least the money spent on the game console and intelligence card was returned, and he made a small profit, his eyes were complicated for a moment, knowing that the game room could make a lot of money in the future, but he chuckled, because Wang Qiang knew that the game room was only his temporary transitional industry, and it would soon be replaced by a new and stronger industry.

In the night, he sat on the back of Lao Zhu's motorcycle, and he was very excited, why? Because Wang Qiang had completed the agreement with his mother, he had earned enough 10,000 yuan in half a month, and from now on, he broke free from the shackles of going to school and could display all his ambitions.

It's been a month since I came back.

Time is not long, but it is not short.

But his life has changed completely.

In the cold night wind, Wang Qiang's eyes became deep, looking at the starry sky, he longed for tomorrow to come a little earlier, farewell, the old time, my dream has begun, now the sky pattern is still small, what he wants is to spread his wings and soar, so with full of hope to prepare to break into the turbulent era, the blood, slowly boiling, igniting his seventeen-year-old youth, illuminating the road ahead.
