Chapter 16, the first short flat in 89

(Girls' Literature) The mood to go home is urgent, and the roads are crowded. People who are reluctant to eat at restaurants outside are in a hurry to get home.

When I go shopping, I am full of excitement, and when I go home, it becomes a burden of precipitation.

When I went home at noon, before Zhao Hong could speak, my sister excitedly talked about the crazy busyness of selling balloons in the morning. The family's eyes widened as if they were listening to a story.

The mother, who came back to taste for a while, looked at Zhao Hong, who was gobbling up,

"Zhao Hong, how much did you earn?"

"Mom, it sold for less than 1,000, and the gross profit was 900. Zhao Hong pretended to answer easily.

"How much?" Mom looked at Zhao Hong in surprise, and Dad, brothers and sisters all looked at Zhao Hong in surprise.

Zhao Hong hurriedly explained, "This business is to do it for the New Year, and there are few people doing it at present, there are two balloons on a very long street today, and the red armbands for the New Year are not managed, and the location is good, so the income is quite high." It won't be like this every day in the future. ”

Mother silently calculated, "There are 7 days left for the New Year, and you can make a lot of money!"

My brother also had something to say. I squirmed for a while and still didn't say anything.

Dad was also surprised, but didn't say anything. After all, he is the pillar of the family, and earning money should have been his responsibility. As a result, the child exceeded his salary income for half a year in one day, which is still the algorithm after the salary increase. It is indeed a bit of pride and a little hurt to self-esteem! Proud of their children can not only study, but also earn money. But it's too much more money than making yourself, which is a bit difficult to understand and accept. What's wrong with this society and era?

After eating at noon, after resting for a while, Zhao Hong called his brother and sister and set off again.

The situation in the afternoon was not worse than in the morning, and the time was much longer. Some men and women who are in a relationship have also joined the bandwagon purchase.

My sister and Zhao Hong greeted and collected money in front, and my brother worked hard to play balloons in the back.

Zhao Hong actually understood what his brother wanted to say at noon, and he also wanted to join in and earn some money for the New Year. During the Chinese New Year, my brother's social activities are much more than those of Zhao Hong and his sister, and he is still a boy, so he can't be stingy with his money, and if there are girls who pursue it, he needs a certain amount of entertainment and hospitality. So, without thinking too much, Zhao Hong called his brother. My brother felt embarrassed to sell balloons, so he asked him to go to the back to play balloons and give full play to his strengths.

With my brother on board, the afternoon business grew a little more. Zhao Hong and his sister were gone, and they were busy in the morning, and they didn't even drink a sip of water.

It was slowly getting dark, and the pedestrians on the road also accelerated their pace to go home. The taste of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger, the sound of firecrackers is heard from time to time, and the surrounding merchants are also happy to make money and put a gift flower or something.

There are no more children on the street, so that's the end of today's business.

My brother took Zhao Hong and my sister rode a car, happily and slowly went home, saying more along the way, but his face was also full of smiles. After all, there is also a part of it, which should be enough for the expenses of your own entertainment party for the New Year.

After going home for dinner, everyone gathered together to watch the TV station's literary programs, eat snacks that are not usually seen, and talk about the harvest of Zhao Hong's business today.

Zhao Hong took the initiative to explain the whole situation, the purchase channel, the price of the purchase, the quantity of the purchase, how much was sold today, how many goods are left, how many days are ready to be sold, where to sell, and why. I broke it open and crumpled it to explain it to my family, and kept answering all kinds of questions. Until everybody understands and understands.

Zhao Hong did this for a reason. The efficiency of the parents' unit is not good, and sooner or later they will have to come out to earn money. Zhao Hong doesn't want his parents to be the same as in his previous life, working all the time in the easiest time to make money, but he knows how to save money desperately. Missed opportunities. Lift families out of poverty as soon as possible. After all, Zhao Hong still wants to read, and he hopes to read better, but his ability is limited, so he can only rely on hard work and concentration. Except for the occasional good opportunity, speculating on some opportunities, I usually no longer participate in the things that make money. Even if he was reborn in a lifetime, Zhao Hong still felt that he was still an ordinary person, with limited ability and limited knowledge, and there was still a lot of knowledge to learn. You don't even have to compare with outsiders, even my brother is much better than me. My brother has an excellent memory, he can understand and recite after watching it a few times, and his imagination is also very good, as for learning, he is much stronger than Zhao Hong, Zhao Hong and his brother's teacher once felt that Zhao Hong was too much worse than his brother.

After happily counting the money, he finally knew the actual situation of Zhao Hong's balloon buying battle.

I invested 300 yuan to buy a balloon and a special pump, prepared a thick rope, and a thin rope roll; today's income was 2,106 yuan, and I threw away the balloons that could not be used or blown up, and there were two-thirds of the balloons left. If you can sell, you should theoretically have an income of about 4,000.

The family was shocked and incredible, but the facts were in front of them.

Zhao Hong is very satisfied with this effect, why don't you be shocked, where can they persuade their parents to become vendors after being laid off during the holidays?

There will always be a small number of successful people in this world, because this small group of people is not because their IQ and EQ are higher than others, nor because they have resources. It's that they will constantly reinvent themselves and demand themselves.

I have never improved my quality and standards. Those who are unsuccessful should not complain about not giving a chance, in fact, God is the fairest.

Zhao Hong's small business has been until the end of the year, and it is reluctant to end. It's not that he doesn't want to earn money, but Zhao Hong really underestimated the purchasing power of people in 89, and the balloons that he was ready to sell until the third day of the Lunar New Year have all been sold out. My brother and sister also have a feeling of unfinished business.

Zhao Hong finally had a good night's sleep on the twenty-ninth night of the New Year's Day. On the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the family went to prepare the New Year's food, because the income in the previous few days was good, and there were some more foods that were not available in previous years.

The sunlight outside the window can already shine on Zhao Hong's quilt, warm and soft, Zhao Hong still doesn't want to get up, and he hasn't slept for a long time. It seems to be 2018 in the big room, and when I open my eyes, I still see that it is still in my own shack.

The sun in '89 seems to be hot, there are no clouds in the sky, blue sky.

Zhao Hong got up and washed his face with warm water, since he had rheumatoid arthritis, Zhao Hong had never washed with cold water. Use lukewarm water as much as possible to reduce the frequency of laundry. I originally wanted to buy a washing machine, but this requirement is indeed a bit too advanced. I've been embarrassed to mention it, but now it's finally possible.

After the year, you must buy a washing machine, and the biggest physical work in the family can be over. It's a reward for yourself!

Looking at myself in the mirror, a little yellowish skin, a beard with big sideburns, unshaven, soft, messy hair, a few white strands mixed in black hair, with old-fashioned dark glasses frames. It's a bit old. Only a few white pimples can see what this age should look like.

The family economy turned out to be bad, Zhao Hong has always complained a little about his father, he has to get by and seek stability, there is no way, he has time to play mahjong, in addition to supporting his children's study, there is no hard work to change the family economy's thoughts and actions, and his thoughts are conservative.

Zhao Hong experienced a lot later and understood him. 's father is an ordinary person, he doesn't have too much machismo, he does most of the housework, he is timid and has no courage, this is the true portrayal of most ordinary men in that era. As for those fathers who are full of bravery, fearlessness, maturity and wisdom, they are all deceitful works of art. Be content, be content with the status quo, and enjoy a happy and ordinary life. Isn't this what Zhao Hong once struggled for?

The result of the subsequent discussion with his parents was also very in line with Zhao Hong's expectations. The parents still decided to just go out to set up a stall and do a small business on holidays or rest days, and finally chose the department store vendor who Zhao Hong thought was the most useless way to make money. And if the thing can't be sold, it won't go bad.

Alas, even if Zhao Hong is reborn for a lifetime, there is no way to change the conservative thinking of his parents. I have set a good example for them, and still choose the department store industry with the least risk, but the industry with the lowest returns. There is no bit of atmosphere in doing things.

Zhao Hong was also a little bored.

The happy days of the New Year passed quickly, eating well every day, wearing new clothes, everyone was happy and laughing, the gathering of family and friends, Zhao Hong forgot a lot in his busyness, and he was like a normal 16-year-old boy, running crazy all over the world, classmates, and teachers all went to pay New Year's greetings.

Occasionally, I go to see the scenery of beautiful women with my classmates, and experience the feeling that you look at the scenery and you are in the scenery; go rollerblading in the playground, learn for the first time, and fall until the end, and experience the bravery and happiness that teenagers should have; occasionally I laugh with a good-looking girl, and look at the charm of the girl who seems to be delicate and shy; I indulge myself a little and let myself better understand the beauty of a 16-year-old boy!

Zhao Hong also tried to do a lot of things that he wanted to do in his previous life but didn't dare to do.

A person with a backpack in the third year of junior high school, taking advantage of the opportunity of the New Year's train to quietly go to S City, the capital city of the province, the business atmosphere here is much richer than the city where it is located, the industry here is relatively backward, the transportation is convenient, many railway traffic trunk lines meet here, the light industry is developed, the clothing is relatively cheap, and it has been affected by the capital, and the style is good.

It was almost 10 p.m. when I returned home that day. Thanks to having told me to go to the school reunion, no one has a phone in this era, there is no way to check, and there is nothing wrong with a few words of complaining.

The fifth day of the Lunar New Year is the day when the local customs do not go out. Zhao Hong took advantage of the lack of people on the bus alone, and ran from the northernmost part of the city to the southernmost part of the southern urban area, which is the fastest growing area of the city in the future, with many high-rise buildings in the future, many high-end commercial shopping malls, and the future high-tech park, the most surplus urban village in the future city. So far, the city as a whole is relatively prosperous in the north, but in the future, with the rise of the southern region, the LC district in the north has declined, becoming synonymous with poverty and backwardness.

This is also the inevitable result, the law of the economy. Capital development is inevitably oriented to places with lower costs.

New things generally mean new opportunities.
