Chapter 138: Birthday
After Duan Chengwen mentioned it, in the evening, Li Zheng did what he said, and contacted Zhuang Xiangqiu directly, asking her when she had time and made an appointment to go to the warehouse first. Zhuang Xiangqiu replied that he had no time recently, and he would have time to contact him in a few days.
The next day, Li Zhengyi went to the training room for a long time to make up for the two classes that he had missed yesterday. In the afternoon, he returned to the Internet café and explained that Cross-Eyed and Luo Wei assisted his aunt Shao Qin in managing the Internet café, and he had to go home in the past two days.
Two hours later, Li Zhengyi rushed to the scrap yard, because he knew that his parents were not willing to be extravagant and wasteful, and it was just an ordinary birthday, so he didn't even order a cake, only brought a little seasonal vegetables and fruits, and at the same time, when passing by the Dongcheng District cigarette shop, he helped his father buy a hookah, specializing in smoking dry tobacco.
Mother Li was very happy to see her son arrive home early. Of course, Li's father was even happier, because he saw the hookah that his son had bought back. For older generations of older generations, hookahs are a favorite among older men. But a hookah is not cheap, in the past, the Li family was poor, and Li's father was reluctant to buy one, so he only used cigarette paper to roll up a handful and make a horn cigarette to smoke.
After the family opened a purchasing station, because there may be familiar customers on weekdays, Li's father will have boxed cigarettes on his body, but he generally does not smoke them, but only to greet customers.
Father Li took the hookah, rubbed the bright yellow barrel and said, "This hookah is of good quality, the price is not cheap, right?"
"It's not expensive, it's just a few dozen dollars. Li Zhengyi said nonchalantly.
In fact, Li Zhengyi played a sloppy eye, this hookah according to the owner of the cigarette shop, is the only few remaining high-quality goods in his store, specially into the deep mountains and old forests to find natural wild hundred-year-old bamboo carving, moderate size, light and heavy, has been air-dried for two years, still as clean as new without burst lines.
Ordinary hookahs range from 20 to 30 yuan, and this hookah, the owner of the cigarette shop shouted 600 yuan, Li Zhengyi was startled when he first heard it, thinking that the other party said an extra zero. Because he didn't know how to do it, after asking the price, Li Zhengyi didn't plan to buy it, but found that there happened to be an acquaintance present at that time, who was the owner of the hardware store that bought the equipment and utensils when he opened the purchase station last year. The other party helped and said that the price was about the same, and Li Zhengyi paid for it as a birthday gift for his father.
Except for his parents, only Cui Xingfa was there, and he didn't see Lin Wenxing. When I asked, I found out that Lin Wenxing had something at home a few days earlier, and it would be a few days before he came back.
In the evening, the purchasing station began to get busy, and Li Zhengyi helped Li's mother to work, during which Li's father told him that the profit of the purchasing station for most of the past six months was very considerable, with an average of about 8,000, and the family had plenty of money.
Li's father asked about the situation of the Internet café again, Li Zhengyi did not say what happened some time ago, nor did he dare to say that the Internet café had been closed for rectification, only that the profits were very high, and the former capital had been earned.
Speaking of the relocation of the Internet café, Li's father didn't understand, so he only told Li Zhengyi: "If you are short of money, and the family still has money to spare, you can probably make up 40,000 or 50,000 yuan." ”
Now that the acquisition station is on the right track, it can be regarded as having the capital to settle down, so Father Li's tone of voice is different from before, and he will come with forty or fifty thousand mouths and will not advise. The reason for this is not only the confidence of the family to have surplus wealth, but also the confidence in his son to reform himself.
Li Zheng told his father again the ideas he had discussed with Duan Chengwen, on the one hand, out of respect, on the other hand, after all, Li's father had seen the world for decades, and there were more or less things that Li Zheng could not reach. Three stinkers and one Zhuge Liang, brainstorming is not a bad thing.
At first, Li's father heard that the stall was too big and was worried that the money would not be enough, but later he heard Li Zhengyi say that the profit of the Internet café could reach 70,000 or 80,000 yuan per month, and he couldn't help but ask: "Don't you only have 30 computers, how can you have such a high profit?" I don't know how to calculate too complicated numbers, but simple numbers can still be calculated, and your computer does not exceed 60 yuan a day, and you only have more than 50,000 yuan without deducting expenses, where does the profit come from 70,000 or 80,000 yuan?"
Li Zheng was embarrassed, and quickly explained: "I forgot to tell you, I also bought the Internet café next door halfway, and now there are 76 computers, which has doubled." ”
Father Li asked suspiciously: "I remember the last time I went, I saw that the Internet café next door was doing very good business, why did he transfer it to you? I also plan to open a store in Changshui? Where did you get so much extra money to buy it?"
Li Zhengyi was dumbfounded for a moment, and began to sweat, before he came back, he didn't expect that there was such a big loophole in it, and he knew that he should have thought of a reason to deal with his father in advance, so as not to be dumbfounded by questions now.
Fortunately, at this time, Cui Xingfa was shouting: "Brother Li, this thing is heavy, come and take a hand." ”
"Okay. Li Zhengyi jumped up and scurried with his head in response.
After moving the heavy things, Li Zhengyi turned back and explained: "The owner of the Internet café had an accident at home, and he couldn't continue to open the Internet café outside, so he could only transfer it at a low price." The transfer fee is a little more expensive than last time, about 100,000 yuan, which I can still afford, and the profits in the first few months are relatively high. ”
In order to prevent his father from becoming suspicious, Li Zhengyi had to double the cost of the merger of Internet cafes, and the transfer fee of almost 100,000 yuan was also convincing.
Father Li glanced at Li Zheng several times suspiciously, and did not interrogate again.
It was busy until about seven o'clock in the evening, and the family of three plus Cui Xingfa was free. After dinner and chatting, Li's mother talked about the blind date to find a daughter-in-law, which made Li Zheng as big as a fight, and he couldn't refute it directly, so he had to respond vaguely, and then found a reason to shrink into his room and hide cleanly.
During the period, he also talked about one thing, the aunt's daughter Lin Siyu has received the college entrance examination admission notice, and she was admitted to Hangzhou University of Communication and Communication.
Li Zhengyi doesn't want to go, as long as his parents are courteous, it doesn't matter if the younger generation goes or not. My aunt estimated that it was very likely to go back, and she would definitely rest for a few days at that time.
When she got up the next day, Li's mother prepared a new set of clothes for Li's father, plus a pair of shiny leather shoes. Father Li's face is radiant, and he has never stopped smiling since Li Zheng saw him in bed.
In this life, as long as you live happily and happily, it is better than anything else. Li Zhengyi looked at his parents' heartfelt smiles, and he was secretly happy in his heart. After being reborn, the biggest wish is nothing more than to make up for the shortcomings of his parents in his previous life, as long as he can make his parents happy, no matter what he needs to give, Li Zhengyi is willing to try.
On this day, Li Zhengyi didn't go anywhere, so he stayed at the acquisition station, accompanied his parents from morning to night, helped with work, chatted about his parents' shortcomings, and then accompanied him to eat longevity noodles, and finally sealed a red envelope for his father to express his heart. Although it was the act of pouring it into the bowl from the pot, it was still happy that Father Li smiled, and the wrinkled bitter gourd face, every wrinkle hid joy.
What's even more interesting is that it is not only Li Zhengyi who respects the red envelope, but also the diligent scalper Cui Xingfa, who has been staying at the acquisition station without a day off. However, Cui Xing received more benefits than Li Zhengyi after sending filial piety to the red envelope, and Li's mother also bought him a brand new set of clothes and shoes, but nothing happened to Li Zhengyi.
