Saturday, April 10, 1999, fine.

The bouncy castle has been erected. Accompanied by their parents, a steady stream of children paid their money and entered the castle to start having fun.

Before ten o'clock, Grandpa Li hurriedly walked to Li Xiaoming's side: "Xiao Ming, go back and get a bag out, there is too much money, we can't take it." ”

"Ah, how can it be, how much is it now?" Li Xiaoming was a little surprised.

"Now there are more than 800 of them, so thick stacks, not easy to take, and I'm afraid to take them off. ”

Li Xiaoming looked at the banknote in his grandfather's hand, and suddenly reacted, there is no banknote with a face value of 20 now, and almost everyone gives 2 yuan, 5 yuan, 10 yuan, and 50 yuan.

Thinking of this, Li Xiaoming immediately agreed, spread his legs and ran home.

"Dad, where is the fanny bag you carried when you went out on a trip? Give it to me and I'll go to Grandpa to pack money. Li Xiaoming came home and saw his father and god sitting on the balcony reading the newspaper and said.

"What's the matter? How much money can I have? Dad Li also looked at Li Xiaoming strangely.

"It's more than eight hundred, and it's still coming in. ”

"What?" Dad Li was taken aback and immediately stood up: "I'll take the bag, let's go take a look." ”

After taking the bag, Li Xiaoming and Li's father walked back to the park quickly, and at a glance, this is good, not only the grandfather has a large stack of money in his hand, but even Chen Wu's hands have been pinched a lot.

"Quick, bag here, come and put it in. Dad Li hurriedly handed the bag to Grandpa Li, turned his head and said to Li Xiaoming: "Quickly help your grandfather sort out the money, and put a piece with the same face value." ”

"Okay! Chen Wu, you also come, hurry up and sort it out, so that it is not good for customers to see it." ”

While speaking, Li Xiaoming and Chen Wu took the money from Grandpa Li's hand and quickly sorted it out, there is currently only one for one hundred, four for fifty, and the rest are all ten yuan, five yuan, two yuan and one yuan, which is really a lot.

Grandpa Li handed over the money to Li Xiaoming and continued to run to collect the money. Grandma Li was in charge of logistics there, helping the children take off their shoes, and then placing the shoes neatly and neatly one by one, so that the children would not find their shoes when they came out.

After tidying up for a while, I finally put all the money in my bag. At this time, Chen's father didn't know when he came, so he stood behind the two of them.

"Yes, how much is it?" asked Chen's father.

"It's more than 1,300 now, it's only half past ten, there should be more children this afternoon, maybe more than 4,000 today, maybe 5,000. Li Xiaoming calculated and replied.

"So you're back on the first day?"

"Yes, and it's an activity, most of the children are fifteen yuan an hour, and now most of the children have renewed. ”

"Hehe, Lao Li, I can't see that our two children still have this talent, I didn't think I could make so much money in one day when I first started doing business. Dad Chen said to Dad Li.

"Uncle Chen, this is different, it can't be counted like this, your business is getting bigger and bigger, it's understandable to be slow at first, let's just come out and be fresh, and it's good to have one or two thousand a day after half a month." ”

"Oh, it seems to be relatively calm, not arrogant or impatient, not bad. Okay, in this case, I approved the matter of your Internet café, and the money is still yours to pay, and you don't need me to help you with your income, and I will come forward to help you solve some other aspects when the time comes. ”

"Isn't it just a business license?"

"Oh, don't want firefighting, don't want taxes? ”

Li Xiaoming suddenly realized, how to forget this stubble, it really shouldn't be.

"Hehe, then thank you Uncle Chen!"

"Okay, I didn't take you to eat Malatang last night, what do you want to eat tonight, I'll invite you two to eat with your father." Uncle Chen waved his hand, not caring.

"Hey, Uncle Chen, Dad, I've made so much money today, your son is also a successful person, let's invite a few of you to eat tonight, call Aunt Chen too, and Uncle Chen, let's have a big meal today!" Li Xiaoming and Chen Wu said in a big way.

"Hey, I'm still gasping! Come on, you two keep the money, and then you will do an Internet café or something, and it is estimated that there will be a lot of places to spend money, and when you really have a stable business, when the time comes, you will be the east, we will definitely appreciate the face!"

"Haha, that's good, then we have to think about what to eat today, let's go and help grandpa first, there are too many people for fear of tiring grandgrandma." ”

"Go, go, two little bunnies. "Dad Chen and Dad Li stood together and started to drive people away.

So Li Xiaoming and Chen Wu hurriedly walked towards their grandparents, and when they walked away, they vaguely heard Chen's father behind them say: "I said Lao Li, I have already said that we will go to the sea and let us do it together, ...... you are there."

After that, Li Xiaoming couldn't hear it.

In fact, Li Xiaoming has always been very strange in later generations, his father has a very strong relationship with Uncle Chen, and he always feels that Uncle Chen respects his father very much, why has his father never done business with Uncle Chen, and has always kept a position for decades. It seems that there is some story in this. It's just that it's not enough for outsiders.

For the next time until noon, the group was very busy, and more and more children came over, and finally had to limit the flow...... Otherwise, going in is simply crowded.

There are also many children who don't leave until noon, so Dad Li and Dad Chen went to Uncle Wang of braised bean curd to bring a box lunch to everyone, and finally dealt with noon in turn.

After one o'clock in the afternoon, the children who came to play in the park reached a peak, it was simply a sea of people is not enough to describe, so it is very similar to the scene when the county held a temple fair here during the Chinese New Year, guessed the lantern riddles, and made a lot of small vendors selling sugar gourds, fried potatoes and kebabs flocked to it.

Li Xiaoming finally had to ask Li's father to call Li's mother to replace his grandparents together, otherwise the two old people's bodies would be unbearable if they continued like this.

During this period, Li Xiaoming also ran home twice with his waist bag, emptied the money, left some money for change, and returned to the park again to continue collecting money.

Li Xiaoming and Chen Wu ran from beginning to end, until six o'clock in the evening, after telling everyone that they were going to close, many children reluctantly followed the adults and left one after another.

Next, they packed their things, put their satchels home, and followed Chen's father towards a hot pot that had been set up a long time ago. This is also the only hot pot restaurant in the county, which is not a pure hot pot, it is a fat intestine fish in a cold pot, and it also cooks a lot of luncheon meat and ham sausages that children love to eat.

After sitting down, Li Xiaoming shook his sore arm and let out a long breath. Turning his head to look at Chen Wu, this guy was no better, not to mention the stinky sweat, his hair was about to knot.

"Hehe, I'm still smart, and it's convenient. Li Xiaoming said proudly to Chen Wu.

"If you can, I'll cut one tomorrow. ”

"I'm afraid it won't work tomorrow, but the weekend is probably no different from today. ”

"Alas, too, it seems that I can only go to school at noon. This hair is really annoying, sweating too much, and I can't see anything. ”

"It's good that you kid knows, look at people Xiao Ming, you have a lot of energy, you have to learn what kind of tricky boy you are, keep long hair. Dad Chen said to Chen Wu with a disgusted face.

"Hey, Dad, that was when I was a kid, how can I do it now. ”

"Now you're not a kid, and you're an adult if you make two dollars?"

Li Xiaoming kicked Chen Wu under the table, Chen Wu was stunned for a moment, and reacted: "Yes, yes, you have the right education, I will go and shave my head at noon the day after tomorrow." ”

"Xiao Ming Xiao Wu, how much money did you make today?" Dad Li asked.

"The last package has almost two thousand yuan, and the amount that I put home before is about the same, five thousand and a half is definitely there, and I have to go back a little bit. When Li Xiaoming said this, he couldn't hide the snort on his face anymore, if the system didn't want to pay attention to him now, it was estimated that he would be sprayed with blood.

"But my grandparents are so tired, I said before, okay, half of this is my grandparents', and tomorrow I will count out the money and deposit it in the bank for my grandparents." Li Xiaoming said again.

"Hey, you kid, don't. Now Grandpa Li was anxious: "This is your own idea, our old couple is busy this day today and feel energetic, don't mention how good it is to see these children happy there, we are not short of money, you can keep the money." ”

"This can't work, I said good things before, right, Chen Wu?" Li Xiaoming turned his head to look at Chen Wu and said.

"Of course, grandparents and grandparents will take it, and they will be used as a travel fund for you, and you will retire, and this business will not be able to do for long, only a year or two, and when you save enough money, you can go around to play, how good." Retired, walk around and see more, grandpa, you are also a veteran, it's good to walk around the country you guard. ”

Grandpa Li was silent now.

The old people who came from their time, which one did not have an incomparable love for the motherland. If you can really walk around and see more in your lifetime, you will always have a comfort for yourself.

"What do you think, old woman. Grandpa Li turned his head to look at Grandma Li and asked.

Grandma Li said with a smile: "My grandson has the ability to give us a pension, let's go ahead and help the two of them save up, in case there is something that needs to be emergency in the future, we will not stare dryly." ”

"That's okay, grandson, then that's it, I'll give you my and your grandmother's passbook, you can take it and save it." ”

"Hey, okay!"

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not rise, and the child wants to raise and be in peace. It's so wonderful, what more could you ask for.

The group ate a lot, during which Dad Chen and Dad Li also drank some wine with Grandpa Li, and everyone was in a very good mood.

……

On the second day, the situation on this day was even worse than yesterday, today Li Xiaoming and Chen Wu couldn't even take care of eating noodles, one went to get an inflatable castle, and the other went to the bun shop to buy a few big buns and came back to dry. Before noon today, Li Xiaoming ran home to free up his satchel, and by the afternoon, it was more than 3,000 yuan more than yesterday.

This can make Li Xiaoming and Chen Wu so happy that they can't find the north, and then they have to see how they usually go.

……

A week passed quickly.

The usual sales really can't be compared with weekends, after all, the children have to go to school, but Li Xiaoming deliberately postponed the business hours to eight o'clock, and the average daily price is two or three thousand yuan, which can be regarded as an unexpected joy.

Over the course of a week, the two received a total of more than 23,000 yuan, excluding costs, Li Xiaoming deposited 10,000 yuan in his grandfather's passbook, and he and Chen Wu's small treasury received 10,000 yuan.

In this era, Dad Li's monthly salary is only about 500 yuan, and the year-end bonus is less than 10,000 yuan.

"It seems that when I do business in the future, my father and they shouldn't have a lot of opinions. Li Xiaoming thought happily.

As for Chen Wu's side, it is better to do it, Chen's father is impressed by Chen Wu, he used to think that this child's grades were not good, he knew how to play all day long, and now he can not only make money, but now he doesn't watch TV when he goes home, he holds the textbook all day long, and after reading the textbook, it is not enough, and he also found a way to find someone to borrow the textbooks of the second and third junior high schools.

……

It's the end of April in a blink of an eye, and the monthly exam is coming.

Most of the students in the class were very nervous, but Li Xiaoming and Chen Wu were no different from usual every day, in class, they finished their homework for the day during class, and hurried to help their grandparents guard the bouncy castle after school, and went home to read at night. has become an inspirational teenager in the eyes of adults. It was really gratifying for both parents.

The two-day exam was carried out in an orderly manner, and the only discordant factor that appeared during the period was that Li Xiaoming and Chen Wu both handed in the papers in advance.

"Hey, I'm still taking the English test, the two of us are program apes, and the English teacher still thinks this question is difficult for us. I don't want to release people yet, it's all done, what are you doing sitting there?" Li Xiaoming said disdainfully.

"Hehe, that's, who made the teacher not understand that we are using the power of twenty years of experience to come back and make a fortune?" Chen Wu said and laughed obscenely.

"Come on, the results will be out on the 30th tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow on May Day, let's prepare and go to Rongcheng." ”

"Okay, I don't remember the current computer configuration, and I'll have to go to the computer city to check it when the time comes. ”

"I said earlier, relying on you and our brothers to starve to death, I would have checked it a long time ago. ”

"Xiao Ming's big man is mighty, I can be my faithful leg pendant. ”

"Fuck off. ”

"Hey, hey. ”

The two of them walked towards the park in a jousting manner......

On the 30th, after the class began, the teacher announced the results one by one, but this time the nuclear bomb exploded, and the whole class was confused.

Li Xiaoming won't talk about it, and his usual grades are okay. The problem is that Chen Wu is the tail of the crane, and this time's results are simply like a sword, sweeping away the previous image of a sick man, as if entering a no-man's land.

Because there is no liberal arts and science in junior high school, every class is a compulsory course for everyone, but the total score is still 750 points.

Li Xiaoming: Seven hundred and thirty-eight points. Among the twelve points deducted, ten points were deducted for the Chinese composition, because the writing was too profound, and the teacher was afraid that the teacher would not find the subject during the real high school entrance examination, so it was deducted as a warning. The remaining two points are because English uses words that are beyond the syllabus of the textbook, which is also a warning deduction.

Chen Wu: Seven hundred and twenty points. The deduction is almost similar to Li Xiaoming, except that he is naturally insensitive to mathematics, and he is wrong in half of a big question. But it's better than it used to be.

Next, the third place in the whole grade only had a score of more than 640 points, which means that Li Xiaoming and Chen Wu crushed all the students in the whole grade with an absolute advantage.

The classmates are not calm, the teachers are not calm, and their parents are even less calm. If this score is not unexpected, what school will not be chosen in the future?

Moreover, Chen Wu has absolutely no possibility of plagiarizing Li Xiaoming, because he is not in the same examination room! Then there is only one possibility: Chen Wu really relied on his own ability to get the score. The teacher didn't have anything to say.

When he got home, Chen Wu's father looked at Chen Wu and said, "The kid is good, he's enlightened!"

"Hey, that's a must, that's what I am6!"
