Chapter 8: The Cousin

Looking at the caller ID on the phone, the name is Duan Yan. Duan Yan is my second uncle's child and my cousin. My father has three brothers, and our cousins are also three, I am the eldest, Duan Yan is the second, and the third is the third uncle's child named Duan Yong. The three of us were brought up by our grandparents together since we were children, like brothers. The third child is still in college. Only this second child, who didn't like to read since he was a child, didn't want to go to school after the first year of junior high school, my third uncle lifted his quilt one winter morning and beat him first. Then I told him good things and asked him to finish junior high school first, and then I got him to a repair shop as an apprentice, and finally in the case of my third uncle's soft and hard work, the second child agreed to go to school.

But after finishing the second year of junior high school, he didn't go to school again, saying that the teachers at the school didn't like him and asked him to clean the toilet every day, and he couldn't stand it and ran home. The third uncle had no choice but to contact the car repair master and let him be an apprentice, about a year of study, he thought he could do anything, and he refused to learn to repair the car, so he wanted to go out to do something, so he ran to Haikou again, and his father has been working in Haikou. In Haikou, his father helped him find a repair shop, and he kept quarreling with other people's bosses for half a year, and he couldn't stand it and went home to be idle. I have done a lot of things in a few years, and I have not been serious. But I got married last year, and I have a daughter, who is now more than a year old. But he didn't care, it was my second uncle and aunt who took care of the children.

I answered the phone: "Hey, second, what's the matter?" If you borrow money, forget it. "This guy always likes to borrow money from me, and if he borrows it, he will pay it back when he thinks about it, and if he can't think of it, forget it, after all, I am not embarrassed to ask him for a family.

He said, "Big brother, I don't want to borrow money from you, but I will discuss something with you." ”

"What's the matter? You said. ”

"I want to open my own store, I got out of school very early, I have been working with people, I have been working for so many years, it is not interesting at all, you see I am also married, I have children, I want to open my own store and do my own business. I called you today, just to find you to cooperate, and I am afraid of angry disputes when I cooperate with others. ”

"Yes, what business are you going to do?"

"I'm going to join a snack shop, there aren't many snack shops here in Haikou, and some of the people here are fucking delicious, I think it's okay."

"Okay, I'll come to Haikou in two days to inspect with you." I happily agreed.

Really, if he had told me this before, I would not have been able to promise him, first, I think he is not reliable at all, and I still know him very well among the brothers after living with him for so many years. Second, I also considered starting my own store and starting a business, but I think it was a matter of 30 years old, and I think I should accumulate funds in the first few years. But now, I am a little overwhelmed when I just left the Heng family in Shanghai. In addition, I originally planned to do online sales, but in fact, I have always felt that online sales are deceptive, and I am actually very resistant in my heart. It just so happened that my brother was calling me, and I didn't think much of it. I promised him in one bite. It's just that I hope in my heart that this decision is the right one.

After hanging up the phone, the second child sent a WeChat message: Big brother, when are you coming.

Me: Use me to buy a ticket in three days, don't rush it too much.

Second child: Okay, I'll pick you up at the airport then.

I'm going to fly over, I've never done an airplane before, and I want to experience it. I bought a ticket online three days later, and the special ticket I bought could only depart in the evening.
