4. Sell rice noodles
"Dad, how is the battle going today?" When Wang Bo's meal was almost finished, his father and mother came home one after another.
If it had been placed in the past, Wang Bo, who hated his father and did not become steel, would definitely throw away the dishes and chopsticks, and run back to his house, out of sight and out of mind. Now reincarnated as a human being, although his biological age is only sixteen or seventeen years old, his biological age is already in his thirties, and he will not be so childish.
Wang Jichang was a little surprised by his stepson's reaction, he knew that his stepson was very disgusted with going to the commissary to play cards. In the past, every time he came back from playing cards, his stepson would not give him a good face, but today, what happened, he began to take the initiative to care about his own battle situation?
What a strange thing!
"Hehe, my luck is good today, and I won more than eight yuan! If it weren't for your mother calling me to eat, I would definitely have won! At that time, my luck was just right!" The stepson didn't show his face, Wang Jichang was naturally happy, and he responded with a smile.
"Good luck, then you should take the hot triathlon! It's okay, Dad, I'll have lunch and continue to fight again! When the time comes, let's go up together, let's kill all sides together! I'll give you a hug!" Wang Bo slapped the table and said loudly.
Wang Bo's reaction made Wang Jichang's heart even more muttered, a little confused, but he didn't want to think about it, since his stepson didn't object to playing cards by himself, wouldn't it be better, so he said casually: "Yes! Wait until you have dinner and then go and win the money of those turtle sons!" However, I'll go alone, you better stay at home and read more books." Although it's a holiday now, don't be too indulgent, it's going to be a sophomore year of high school soon, spend more time on studying!"
Although Wang Jichang has a variety of problems and character defects, there is one thing that Wang Bo has to admire, and even say that he is grateful, that is, from beginning to end, Wang Jichang encouraged Wang Bo to study hard, and strive to be able to take off this "farm skin" on his body and become a city man like his brother-in-law. The reason why Wang Bo is angry and strong, in addition to the subjective desire to change the status quo, is also related to Wang Jichang's encouragement of education from time to time, although most of the time this encouragement is only a casual lip service.
"I know Dad. By the way, Dad, let's eat rice noodles tonight. Wang Bo nodded, he just said casually to please his stepfather, how could he go to hug Wang Jichang, who was not doing his job?
"Eat rice noodles?" Wang Jichang was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly thought, no wonder this kid had the attitude just now, it turned out that he wanted to eat rice noodles. Anyway, if you have good luck today, then give him two yuan and let him take two taels of rice noodles.
As soon as Wang Bo saw Wang Jichang's expression, he knew that he had misunderstood what he meant, so he quickly explained: "That's the kind of Dad, I want to go to the street in the afternoon to buy some dry rice noodles, buy some pork and spices and come back, we will fry the rice noodles by ourselves, make old soup by ourselves, and make rice noodles by ourselves to eat." Don't worry, I don't want you to pay, I'll use my own private money to buy it. I'll treat you and your mother to eat. ”
Wang Jichang let out an "oh", only then did he realize that he had misunderstood his stepson, rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "Then don't buy too much meat, just cut about a catty." I'll call it a day early this afternoon and come back to make a fuss. ”
Delicious and lazy are usually connected, Wang Jichang is not only lazy, but also delicious, and at least half of the money in the family is spent by him on food all year round. As soon as he heard that there was a delicious meal in the evening, he was happy and immediately agreed.
"Bo'er, what kind of rice noodles do you eat! You keep your own money and use it for college in the future. When the thrifty mother heard that Wang Bo planned to spend her own money to invite the family to eat rice noodles, she hurriedly stopped it.
"It's okay, Mom! I haven't had rice noodles for a long time, and I want to eat them. It doesn't cost much to get it yourself. Wang Bo said to his mother with a smile, and then turned his head to urge his stepfather, "Dad, you go quickly, if you go slowly, there may be no place." Take advantage of the red hand, hit the lantern, and take advantage of your good luck today to win more points back. ”
"Yes, I'll go. Okay, I'll get the rice noodles tonight, and you can eat them ready-made. Wang Jichang went to Xiao Sanwa's shop to play cards happily, leaving only his mother with a sad face and Wang Bo who sat on the side and smiled a little incomprehensibly.
"Bo'er, why did you remember to invite us to eat rice noodles? It's not easy for you to save some money. It's two months before school starts, and your tuition fees haven't been settled yet. In two years, if you get into college, that's a lot of money. Your dad and I don't know where the money is coming from. Alas, what a scorching (anxious)!" the mother sighed, her brow furrowed. Wang Bo can fully understand his mother's worries, in fact, since marrying his stepfather, his mother has not been anxious about money for a day. But she was just a rural woman with no education, no skills to make money, except for farm work and household work. Before divorcing his father, his mother was the female protagonist and his father was the male protagonist, and the two worked together to save a family business that seemed good to the surrounding neighbors.
But now my stepfather has no other source of income for the family except for two days of fishing, three days of drying nets, and doing odd jobs to earn some money. The mother wanted to get some side jobs, such as feeding some chickens and ducks, or buying two piglets, but even the money for buying chickens and ducks and piglets could not be taken out at home.
Wang Bo wanted to wait until the evening to let his father and mother taste his craft before telling them about his plan to make a fortune, but the anxiety on his mother's face made Wang Bo's heart ache, so he decided to reveal his money-making plan in advance. In his money-making plan, his father is unreliable, and he belongs to the role of not having much of him, not having a lot of him, and mainly relying on his hard-working mother.
"Mom, don't you clean up first, you listen to me. Wang Bo stood up, walked around to his mother, pressed his mother's shoulder and asked her to sit down, "I also considered what you just said, Mom, the tuition fee in two months will cost more than six hundred." In two years' time, your son will not be 'in case he gets into college', but he will definitely go to college. I have inquired about the cost of the university, and it will cost at least five or six thousand a year, not including living expenses and accommodation expenses, do you think that with our current family, we can't afford this expense?"
Wang Bo's words made Zeng Fanyu even more worried, he didn't wait for his mother to open his mouth, and immediately said: "If Dad works hard to earn money from now on, he may be able to save enough money for me to go to high school and college, but you don't know who he is for so many years." It's okay to let him play cards, and it's okay to go without eating or drinking 24 hours, but it's impossible to let him do his job! So, if we don't want to have any other way and count on my dad, even if I get admitted to college in two years, I won't have the money to go to school!"
"Think of a way, where is there any way to think about it!" Zeng Fanyu shook his head, "It's really not good, I'll pull down my face and ask your uncles to borrow it when the time comes!"
"Borrowing money is one way, but it's not a long-term solution. Besides, we borrowed not three or five hundred, but several thousand! And we had to borrow for four years in a row! The uncles certainly couldn't come up with that much money. Even if you can get it, do you think your aunt and uncle will agree?" The worried expression on his mother's face made Wang Bo very unbearable, but he knew that this was a step that his mother had to take to get his mother to agree with his plan, and if he didn't explain the problem clearly to his mother, and didn't dissect the cruelty of the facts in front of his mother, it would be difficult for his mother to make up her mind to follow her.
"If your aunt and aunt don't agree, I'll kneel down and beg, kowtow to them and let them borrow money!" Zeng Fanyu became excited and shouted. Her son's words made her realize for the first time the difficulties and challenges that the family would face two years later. It's not that she hasn't thought about this problem on weekdays, but what's the use? She has limited knowledge, and she can't help it even more if her mind and courage are even more limited! Zeng Fanyu also knew that the day of asking for money would come sooner or later, and she also knew that it would cost a lot of money, but there was no clear idea of how much it was. Now when she heard her son say that it would cost six or seven thousand a year, or even more, her heart was almost cold, and she didn't know what to do at all, so she subconsciously screamed.
Seeing that the fire had arrived, and his mother fully understood the urgency and economy of the matter, Wang Bo grabbed his mother's cracked hand like bark, and said slowly and sonorously:
"Mom, we don't have to kneel down to anyone, and we don't have to borrow a lot of money from others. Let's earn it ourselves. My son has already thought of a way to make money, and that is to sell rice noodles!"
