004 Concealment

The two brothers went back and forth a few times, and soon took everything back to the store, and when they went back, Zhong Zhe also packed a few supper by the way. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

At this time, usually only my mother is watching the store alone, and there are no customers, so she just sits there while munching melon seeds while watching TV, and when she sees them packing up and coming back, she gets up to help move things.

"How is it, how is the income on the first day of going out to set up a stall?"

After moving, she asked curiously as she poured water for them.

Zhong Zhe was about to open his mouth when he saw Zhong Lin's eyebrows fluttering, touched him with his toes, and preemptively said, "It's okay, I earned a hundred yuan." ā€

Zhong Lin was a little stunned, but he still held back his words.

"That's good."

Wang Fang praised it, but there was no doubt that she and Zhong Lei had to take turns to take a nap and cook. It's not clear how many times they bought it later.

"Let's go up and take a shower."

Zhong Zhe was afraid that Zhong Lin would show his feet, so he left with two suppers.

As soon as he walked out of the store, Zhong Lin couldn't help but ask, "Brother, why don't you tell your aunt how much money we made today?" ā€

He had counted it twice, and today he sold a total of more than 60 melons, making a net profit of 650 yuan.

Zhong Zhe sighed and said, "What is the personality of your uncle and aunt, you don't know?" If they knew that we were making so much in one day, they would definitely be confiscated. This is our hard-earned earnings, of course we have to keep it for ourselves, haven't you always wanted to buy a Walkman? When the summer vacation is over, my brother will buy you one. ā€

Zhong Lin's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise, "Really? ā€

"Of course it's true." Zhong Zhe said with a smile. The old brother of this age is too easy to buy, and a Walkman can satisfy him.

He hid his true income from his parents out of helplessness. His parents have always believed in the concept of "raising children from the poor, raising daughters from the rich". Since I was a child, I have hardly given pocket money. Even after going to college, the living expenses were only 300 yuan.

So, the money he earns, can't let them know. Otherwise, many of his plans for wealth would have gone bankrupt.

…………

Zhong Zhe opened the door of the rental room and found that the light inside was on, and when he walked in, the door of the room belonging to the fellow was open, and the two people inside were sorting their luggage.

As soon as Zhong Lin saw it, he walked over to say hello, "Ah Hu, when did you come?" ā€

"Just got out of the car." A boy about Zhong Lin's age replied.

Zhong Zhe remembered that this Ah Hu was the son of that fellow countryman, the same age as Zhong Lin. He also has a younger sister who is one year younger than Xiao Nan.

Because of their similar age, during last year's winter vacation, the three of them often played together, and they got acquainted.

Zhong Lin seemed very happy to be reunited with the two siblings after a long absence, so he stood there and chatted.

"Let's talk, I'll take a shower first." Zhong Zhe was busy all day, and he was so tired that his whole body was a little sore, so he said something to his cousin and went into the room to get his clothes.

After he came out of the shower, he took out a table and set it in the living room, and called Ah Hu and his two siblings to have supper together. They seemed a little embarrassed and wanted to refuse.

"Let's go together, be a little more lively." Zhong Lin also warmly invited.

The two siblings looked at each other before coming out with a stool.

"Here, get some beer."

Zhong Zhe poured a glass for each of them.

"Thank you, Brother Zhe." The two siblings seemed a little restrained, and Zhong Lin went to take a bath, leaving only the three of them. Due to the age difference, they can't play with Zhong Zhe, so they are not familiar with each other.

After a while, Zhong Lin finished taking a bath, and as soon as he came, the two siblings were more relaxed.

After a bottle of beer, the atmosphere became lively.

"Ah Hu, you also graduated from junior high school, what are your plans for the future?" Zhong Zhe asked casually.

Ah Hu only drank a glass of wine, his face turned red, and said, "If you don't read it, your grades are too poor, and it's not interesting to read." ā€

Zhong Zhe is not surprised at all, Ah Hu is in a similar situation to his family, his parents have been doing business outside since he was a child, and he was brought up by his grandparents, so he is a left-behind child.

He is luckier than Ah Hu in that his grandparents are in the county seat, and the learning environment is relatively better.

Ah Hu is studying in the countryside, and it is too common for people like him to stop reading after finishing junior high school, and there are many people who have not finished junior high school. There are only a few who can go to high school.

"What do you want to do without studying?" Zhong Lin asked a little surprised.

Ah Hu said indifferently, "Just help out in my dad's shop." ā€

Zhong Zhe said, "It's summer, off-season, and your dad doesn't need so many people in his store, so why don't you come to me to help." ā€

"Huh?" Ah Hu was a little confused.

Zhong Zhe explained, "Xiaolin and I set up a stall in front of the market, business is good, the two of us are too busy, just you came, just come and help us." ā€

"This ......" Ah Hu was obviously a little reluctant.

Zhong Zhe said, "In this way, you come to help me, and I will give you a salary of thirty yuan a day." ā€

"Thirty dollars a day?" Ah Hu looked at him with a little surprise.

"That's right." Zhong Zhe said in a confused tone, "Think about it, if you help in your father's shop, they will definitely not pay you a salary." You're such an adult, and it's too awkward to ask your parents for money all day long. Men, it's only good to spend the money you earn. ā€

Ah Hu is at an age when he is easily impulsive, and he kept nodding his head when he heard the words, and said, "Brother Zhe, you are right. ā€

Got one.

Zhong Zhe smiled and looked at Ah Hu's sister Xiao Nan, "You can also come to help, it's also thirty yuan a day." ā€

Xiao Nan is one year younger than Ah Hu, and she is a girl, and she is relatively timid, although she is a little moved, she is still hesitating.

"You're worried about Auntie, aren't you? Don't worry, I'll go tell them. As soon as Zhong Zhe saw it, he knew what she was worried about.

Xiao Nan nodded and whispered, "As long as my mother agrees." ā€

"Here, everyone, have a drink." Zhong Zhe successfully fooled the two helpers, and he was very happy in his heart and raised a glass to celebrate.

…………

Early the next morning, Zhong Zhe woke up Zhong Lin and went to buy melons together, and sold more than 60 melons in half a day yesterday. Today he was a little bolder, and he bought almost the entire wholesale market of rotten watermelons.

Nearly 200 watermelons, if you use that small cart to drag dozens of times, you will be tired to death. I borrowed a tricycle from one of the wholesale owners and pulled it seven or eight times.

There are so many melons, and the store naturally can't put them down. Even if he can put it down, he doesn't want to put it in the store, because he won't be able to hide it from his parents.

So, they moved all the 200 melons to the rented house and hid them in the room. Fortunately, the rental room is on the second floor, otherwise they would have to be exhausted.
