Jia Lei, who was returning to sleep early in the morning, was woken up by the sound of firecrackers one after another, Jia Lei turned over several times, and had to get up at six o'clock in the future.

"Finally get up, if you don't get up again, you will be blocked in the quilt, go wash your face and clean up, let's go to the New Year together." Sanni urged.

Jia Lei half-squinted and stepped on the thick garbage to go out to fetch water and wash, which was also the old rule of the year - no sweeping at thirty nights, uh! What's even more terrible is that you are not allowed to wash your feet and pour dirty water! As soon as he pushed the door open, Jia Lei was choked by the smell of gunpowder outside.

"Ahem!" Jia Lei coughed for a while before he came back, he hurried to the public pool to fetch water to wash it, and in the few minutes that he washed his face and brushed his teeth, Jia Lei listened to an ear of gossip. The youngest son of the Xu family in the family area was blown off two fingers when he set off firecrackers last night and sent to the hospital for rescue, and the warehouse of Factory X was lit by firecrackers that fell from the sky and did not burn out, and it took several firetrucks to extinguish it......!

"No wonder the state wants to ban fireworks, how many things happened this night! Moreover, after the firecrackers were released, the air was so bad that it was dozens of times worse than the third ring road on a heavy smog day, and it was almost enough to catch up with the smoking room of the train station. Jia Lei muttered vaguely with a mouth full of toothpaste foam.

After all, only one or two days a year was not a big deal, and there was no concept of environmental protection at that time. The real reason is that in the mid-to-late nineties, everyone became more and more wealthy, and firecrackers were manufactured into a profiteering industry, and the quality of the products was uneven.

Otherwise, you think that just with the above paperwork, you can really make more than a billion people obediently give up the customs and habits that have been inherited for thousands of years, and everyone is not remembering to eat or beat their children - after seven or eight years of big losses, of course, they will obediently give up the habit of setting off fireworks during the New Year.

Anyway, if you want to watch fireworks on the night of the thirtieth night, the country will give them off, and it is safe to spend money on your own.

Sanni and Jia Lei began to visit several familiar families early in the morning, but the two of them knew too few people to pay New Year's greetings in less than an hour, and the time spent at their godmother's house was a little longer. Jia Lei is still very measured, he has filial piety and greetings to others through the door.

Jia Lei thought about it at home for twenty minutes before he made up his mind to go to Jin Xiaoshan's godfather's house to pay New Year's greetings, mainly because he wanted to take the opportunity to get acquainted with the upper-class people in Mingzhu City.

Aren't the three keys to making money black heart, thick skin, and sweet mouth!

Jia Lei relied on a shameless spirit to ride his bicycle and went straight to the family home of the municipal party committee, he wanted to pay tribute to his godfather in his early years!

Fortunately, he had only come a few days before, and the doorman had not turned away him, a child who had come empty-handed on a bicycle. At this time, there were really people coming and going in the family area, and Jia Lei secretly poked and poked at the door for two minutes and came to a conclusion. Those who can enter the house to pay New Year's greetings are people with a certain status, and those who are not of sufficient grade can only say two New Year's greetings at the door and chat with Secretary Lu Xiangluo and leave.

Jia Lei raised a very unkind queue, ran to the door and stood side by side with the people at the front, and went in by himself as soon as the door opened.

"Godfather, I'm here to greet you, I wish you a happy New Year!" Jia Lei stood at the door and said.

"Oh, it's Xiao Lei, come in, stand at the door and do something. Godfather asked when he saw him.

"The ...... on me It's not very convenient! It's unlucky! I won't go in. Jia Lei said that he still has a little bit of conscience! He still has to take into account the other party's feelings at the critical moment.

His skin is still not thick enough, and his heart is not black enough. He's shamefully cowardly!

"It's okay, come in! Godfather doesn't pay attention to this. After the godfather finished speaking, he personally went to the door to pull Jia Lei in.

So Jia Lei got his wish this day and followed the mayor's godfather to meet all the big names in Pearl City, and unexpectedly gained a lot of New Year's red envelopes and a lot of contacts. Although these people don't think he is very important, Jia Lei just wants to be familiar with them, and at the critical moment, they just need to be as convenient as Director Hua.

At about eleven o'clock, the godfather actually pulled Jia Lei to call Wang Lao to pay New Year's greetings, and after the conversation between the godfather and Wang Lao, Jia Lei was honored to get the opportunity to talk to Wang Lao.

"Happy New Year, Grandpa! I wish you a happy start, more than one year at a time, all wishes come true, good luck and longevity, all the best, and smooth and smooth official luck...... Jia Lei is here to give you New Year's greetings!" Jia Lei held his breath and said auspicious words for half a minute, and listened to Wang Lao over there.

"Well! This auspicious saying is really familiar, it seems that you must have practiced a lot in order to make money by selling New Year's paintings! Then my godfather wishes you to study hard every day and make a fortune in the coming year! You must be very satisfied with this, you are also selling tea eggs and the God of Wealth of New Year's paintings, you must like to make a fortune!" Wang Laole said.

Jia Lei's face turned red, his reputation as a wealth obsessed with his heart actually spread to his godfather, it was really a shame to die.

"You don't have to wait until next year! As you know, I made a windfall this year's New Year, and I earned more than 20,000 yuan by giving the statue of the God of Wealth and selling New Year's paintings! This is a unique business, and most people will not refuse the God of Wealth to come to the door. Jia Lei saw that Wang Lao knew everything, but fortunately told him.

"This idea is very simple and easy to use, you deserve to be my godson! He has never seen anything in his old man, as long as Jia Lei earns money with his true skills, he has nothing to object.

"Don't you even object to me doing business? Don't you know, when I first started selling tea eggs, many people said that I had lost my father Jia Aiguo's face!" Jia Lei said in surprise.

"What's so afraid of making people laugh at making money by making money on your own, I heard that you not only earned money yourself, but also let a lot of children make money with you. Are you very capable? Are you considered to be rich first and lead to prosperity later?" Wang Lao praised him again.

It's bad now, for the first time in his life, Jia Lei was praised by such a big man, and the whole person floated away......

"Grandpa, I'll tell you how I make money, I'll take the children ......" Jia Lei actually excitedly began to tell Wang Lao about his family history, Wang Lao was not good to interrupt him directly, so he had to put the phone on the table and listen, and talked to a few old friends who came to the New Year's party to talk about things.

When Jia Lei mentioned that in addition to Chow Tai Fook, the other children each earned at least 300 yuan, Wang Lao curiously picked up the phone and asked, why did Chow Tai Fook earn more than other children.

"Aren't I going to borrow his fame to make money, how can I treat others badly!" Jia Lei said very affordably.

"I heard that you are still engaged in feudal superstition and cheated money?" Wang Lao asked when he thought about it.

"No, that's a misunderstanding! I didn't mean it, it was originally a prank! Here's the thing......" Jia Lei told Wang Lao every detail as it was, but he was afraid that someone would take him away on the charge of spreading feudal superstition, so he reported it to Wang Lao first.

"Ouch! Oh! No, I'm laughing to death! Lao Wang, give me the phone and let me say a few words with him!" Jia Lei heard an unfamiliar voice on the other side of the phone, and Wang Lao paused and handed the microphone to another person.

"That kid is good!" The person on the other side didn't know what to call Jia Lei, so fortunately he said such a sentence.

"Happy New Year, old man!" Jia Lei could only reply in embarrassment.

"Then I won't talk nonsense, I just want to ask! You just said that you earned more than 50,000 yuan, right?" asked the old man.

"Yes, it's more than 50,000 yuan. Is there anything wrong with this?" Jia Lei asked puzzledly.

"I'll talk about that later. Let me ask you again, did you give half of the 50,000 yuan to the children who sold New Year's pictures with you?

"That's right, that's the case!" Jia Lei nodded and replied. He suddenly had a nervous start, and he had a bad feeling.

"Oh! I'm laughing at me, and there are such stupid people! I advise you, child, you better go to school in the future, don't do any business! Otherwise, you will lose all your family and give it away. The old man said very unkindly on the other side of the phone, and Jia Lei listened with a puzzled face.

"I obviously made more than 20,000 yuan, why do you say I lost?" asked Jia Lei.

"Didn't you just say that you gave away a 30-year-old ginseng side branch! The market price of that old ginseng whisker alone is worth 50,000 yuan, and you can calculate whether you have lost or made a profit?" asked the old man on the other side.

Jia Lei dropped the telephone receiver on the table with a bang, and the whole person stayed there.

"It turns out that I have worked so hard, worked hard for several days, didn't earn a penny, and actually lost more than 20,000 yuan!" Jia Lei said in disbelief.

The person on the other side felt that something was wrong and quickly called twice, and the godfather hurriedly picked up the phone and explained the situation here to the other party, Jia Lei had already leaned back on the sofa and sat down decadently at this time.

"Don't talk to me, I want to be quiet! Don't ask me who Jingjing is......" Jia Lei said weakly.

"Look at the good things you have done as a reckless man, you have frightened the children!" Wang Lao complained to his old friend after hanging up the phone, and the other party was full of care.

"I'm a kind person, unlike you who don't remind the child when you see it. The old man said.

"Isn't that afraid of damaging a child's self-confidence and affecting his mood, telling him the truth will definitely regret it like now. Wang Lao said that he still cares about the physical and mental health of his godchildren.

"Is this the child who asked you to sign the title deed last time?" asked another old man, Wang Lao nodded.

"Oh! This kid is really clever, but he doesn't have enough brain problems! Finally, he stares at the little favor in front of him and sees it in the long run, and he doesn't think deeply enough and always has an accident!"

"Come on! Come on! Don't talk about it, isn't this kid just a little lucky! a little stupid! If you meet a bad guy, you can guarantee that you will be able to cheat and be accurate. The old man who answered the phone spoke in the vernacular, and everyone else laughed.
