Today, even if it is Chinese New Year's Eve, it is not very happy.

Other people's families have chicken thighs and dumplings, but they don't have anything at home, and they drink white porridge and eat pickles.

The meat is also small and pitiful.

Tao Xueming was very angry, he had just taken a lot of food, but he was hidden by his stepmother.

It is estimated that while their father and son were away, they secretly took it out for their daughter to eat.

This kind of stepmother is really a big tragedy in life.

After drinking the porridge, Tao Xueming got up and walked out of the door.

"Look at this kid, he doesn't even know how to wash the dishes. ”

The stepmother said very angrily.

"I wash, I wash. ”

Dad laughed happily.

A few minutes later, Tao Xueming came to Bao Zhipeng's house, entered the room, and saw a lot of dishes on the table.

"Taozi, have you eaten, sit down and eat. ”

Bao Zhipeng said with a smile.

Tao Xueming sat down directly, picked up the chopsticks and ate, the two of them played from childhood to adulthood, they were their own families, and they didn't need to be so polite at all.

"Taozi, I just heard that you had a conflict at home, and you still used a knife to cut people?"

Bao Zhipeng asked.

"I'm scaring them. ”

Tao Xueming said a little angrily: "As soon as I came back, I found that she didn't give my dad food, you said that you were not angry." ”

"If it weren't for my young age, if I didn't have any money in my hand, I would have slashed her in the face with a knife. ”

Speaking of which, it's still a belly of fire.

"Okay, okay, it's not a big deal, why are you so ugly. ”

"After all, you're still living in someone's house, sweeping you two out of the house and sleeping in the toilet?"

Bao Zhipeng said with a smile.

Tao Xueming was very depressed, it was because he was afraid of this, so he didn't completely tear his face, otherwise, it would not be as simple as slashing on the kang with a knife.

Soon, firecrackers rang out outside.

The two stood outside the courtyard and looked up at the beautiful fireworks blooming in the sky.

The people in the village who can afford firecrackers are all living in relatively good conditions, and most of the people who can't afford to eat have no money to buy such things.

"I heard that the village chief's family bought a TV, but it looks good. ”

Bao Zhipeng said enviously.

Tao Xueming pouted, what is a TV, it won't be long before he bought the first car in the village.

"I'll go back to the county tomorrow, and there will be people taking a bath during the New Year, so let's make money as soon as possible." ”

"I'll take it with you, it's nothing at home anyway. ”

Tao Xueming nodded, put his hand around Bao Zhipeng's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother, you can definitely make a fortune if you follow me, 10,000 yuan, 100,000 yuan, and 100,000 yuan." ”

"I dreamed about this last night. ”

Bao Zhipeng said with a smile.

Tao Xueming was speechless, this is not a dream, it is really good.

For a person who has been reborn and has thirty years of memory, it is really easy to get rich.

……

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Tao Xueming went to visit relatives, kowtowed and knelt with the elders, and some elders would give red envelopes.

However, the relatives in the village are all poor, one or two cents, and some even give a few cents.

There are few red envelopes on the previous piece that are willing to give.

If this is in a big city, it is estimated that it will start at ten yuan and twenty.

When he went to his relatives, Tao Xueming was also counted down by his relatives, and they all knew about the conflict with his stepmother last night.

Strange to say, there were no mobile phones or no phones in this era, but once there was something in the village, it spread faster than anything else.

There was a fight at the entrance of the village, and as soon as I got home, my parents were already waiting with a broom.

There are a total of five siblings on Dad's side, and Dad's is the youngest, and he is also the worst one.

The eldest uncle, the second uncle, and the third aunt, when they saw Tao Xueming, they didn't give him any good face, and the contempt in their eyes was deeply imprinted in Tao Xueming's heart.

Only the fourth aunt was relatively good to Tao Xueming, and gave him a green two-yuan New Year's money.

When he got the red envelope, Tao Xueming's eyes were a little moist.

"Child, don't spend this money indiscriminately, save it. ”

The fourth aunt took Tao Xueming's hand and showed a very kind smile on her face.

Tao Xueming nodded heavily and said, "Fourth aunt, you are the best, when I have money in the future, I will give you a big TV and a big refrigerator." ”

The fourth aunt suddenly smiled, touched Tao Xueming's head, and said with a smile: "As long as your father and wife can eat and dress warmly, we will talk about making money when you grow up." ”

Tao Xueming took a deep breath and secretly swore in his heart that when he got rich, he must not forget the good of the fourth aunt.

At this time, the uncle and the third aunt came, and the third aunt glanced at it and said, "As long as the two of them can still make a fortune, the sun must have come out of the west." ”

"If it weren't for Feng'e's hard work and taking care of his grandfather, they would have frozen to death outside. ”

After hearing this, the uncle frowned, but he didn't say anything.

Tao Xueming snorted in his heart, too lazy to talk nonsense with you.

"Fourth aunt, I'll leave first, and I'll come to see you another day. ”

Tao Xueming waved his hand and turned to leave here.

Seeing him leave, the third aunt muttered: "This child is not sensible at all, he is not called a person when he sees his elders, and he has no interest when he grows up." ”

……

Tao Xueming went home first, and when he saw that his father was not there, he pressed the two yuan given by the fourth aunt under the pillow.

At the same time, he also wrote a note, let Dad keep the money, don't let your stepmother see it, otherwise Mom will definitely snatch it.

After finishing it, Tao Xueming left the house, walked to the entrance of the village, and after waiting for a while, Bao Zhipeng ran over out of breath.

After the two met, they walked to the county together.

"If only there was a bicycle. ”

Bao Zhipeng said enviously.

Tao Xueming said with a smile: "Don't talk about bicycles, work hard for a year, and we'll drive a car back." ”

"How is that possible!"

Bao Zhipeng's eyes widened and he said: "In the whole county, there are only a few cars, and 10,000 households can't afford to buy them, and I can't dream that I can afford to buy a car." ”

Tao Xueming was amused, a car of more than 100,000 yuan is a sky-high price for many people in modern times.

But to him, a car is nothing.

Needless to say, when the time comes, the car will naturally be owned.

After more than two hours, the two walked to the county seat.

Because it is the Chinese New Year, all the shops in the county are closed, and every household is hung with lanterns and Spring Festival couplets.

Many children were running around happily, and children of their age were also chasing and fighting.

"I really envy them for having a beautiful and happy childhood. ”

Tao Xuemin muttered to himself in his heart.

The children of the poor are in charge of the family early, even if they are only thirteen years old this year, they have to shoulder the breadwinner of the family early.

In order not to be oppressed by his stepmother, Tao Xueming must make a lot of money as soon as possible.

Back in the bathhouse, Tao Xueming began to clean up the garbage, and at the same time checked whether the water pipes were frozen and cracked.

The weather was cold, the quality of the water pipes was not very good, and it was useless for only two days, and some pipes cracked.

Tao Xueming found a piece of cloth and wrapped it up, and he used it, because there was no money to buy a new pipe now.

"Baozi, you go and burn the stove handle, let's try it at night, if anyone comes." ”

Tao Xueming said.

Bao Zhipeng muttered: "I'm alone, I'm tired to death." After complaining, he turned around and went to the boiler room.

A few hours later, hot water was available.

Tao Xueming opened the door and hung the handwritten sign outside, which was considered to be open.

For the past hour or so, there has been no one.

Tao Xueming scratched his head, what kind of trouble is this, why didn't anyone come.

At this time, he saw a group of children running by on the street, Tao Xueming's heart moved, and he suddenly had an idea.

"Kids, come on. ”

Tao Xueming beckoned, and more than a dozen children ran over.

"I'll give you candy, can you help my brother? ”

Tao Xueming took out a handful of candy from his pocket, and the candy was still taken from the fourth aunt's house.

More than a dozen children, all staring at the candy in his hand, Tao Xueming coughed and said, "I'll give you sugar, and you will shout on the street, the public bathhouse is open, the public bathhouse is open." ”

"Just call you home from here, okay?"

"Good. All the children nodded excitedly.

Then, Tao Xueming gave them all the sugar, and almost everyone could get a piece.

After getting the candy, the children ran away, shouting what he had just said.

Tao Xueming sat on the threshold, thinking, and he didn't know if this method would work.

After another twenty minutes or so, two father and daughter came over with baskets and talking and laughing.

"Two sisters, take a bath?"

Tao Xueming's face was happy.

"Take a bath. The two nodded.

"Hey, why do you charge here, it costs two cents, so expensive. ”

Tao Xueming said with a smile: "Today, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, I will open the door when I am not at home for the New Year, who doesn't want to wash it clean." ”

"And two cents is not expensive at all, I have free hot water here, although the other two are also two cents, but people limit the time, right?"

When the two of them heard this explanation, it was right to think about it carefully, and it was quite cost-effective to take a bath for two cents for no time limit.

Subsequently, the two paid the money and went to the women's bath.

Tao Xueming breathed a sigh of relief and made four cents, which is the first step to wealth.

Soon, someone came in from outside the door, a family of three.

"Two cents for one person, it's too expensive. ”

The middle-aged man said painfully.

Tao Xueming shrugged his shoulders and said, "I have endless hot water here, I want to wash it for as long as I want, two cents is really not expensive." ”

"I'm giving you all free kids. ”

The two looked at each other, didn't say anything, paid the money, and took the child to the bath.

Subsequently, people came in one after another outside the door, some generously gave money to take a bath, and some people were too expensive, so they went home directly.

At about eleven o'clock in the evening, all the people who came to take a bath were gone, and Tao Xueming also locked the door.

He opened the drawer, took out all the change, sat down with Bao Zhipeng, and counted it carefully.

In one night today, I earned a total of more than ten yuan and eight cents.

"More than ten yuan a day, more than three hundred a month, we are rich!"

Bao Zhipeng's eyes lit up, and his face turned red with excitement.

"You dream, it's just gross profit, if we subtract the cost, the net profit is not much. ”

Tao Xueming said very calmly: "The rent is fifty yuan a month, the equipment is worn, labor, coal money, and it is a loss to earn less than thirty yuan a day." ”
