Chapter 49: A Showdown with My Parents
Geng Wenyang was puzzled: "Sister, opening a bookstore is a good idea to make money. Why don't you do it yourself, you have to partner with that Daniel Zhang? ”
Zhuang Xiaomeng said: "He is a college student and a teacher at No. 1 Middle School, not only well-informed but also assertive. Working with him will save me a lot of worry and a lot of work. ”
When Geng Wenyang saw her mention Daniel Zhang, her two eyes immediately lit up, knowing that this girl was afraid that she had fallen deeply into the love network and had an unprincipled trust in the person she loved.
Although Geng Wenyang helped Zhuang Xiaomeng a lot, he was a self-employed person without a formal work unit. Although he does make a lot of money now, just like spending no 100 days, no one can guarantee that he will be able to do this every year in the future, let alone whether he will be planted in the future.
And without a formal place of employment, there is no place to receive a pension after retirement. You can only live until you are old, and you can only work until you can't do it.
What's more, if people eat whole grains and grains without getting sick for a long time, once they are sick and hospitalized, if they have to pay for the medical expenses without a unit, the money spent will be a sea away. No matter how much money you make, I'm afraid you can't resist this flower.
Therefore, no matter how good Geng Wenyang is and how good he is to her, in Zhuang Xiaomeng's heart, he is not as attractive as Daniel Zhang, who has a formal job. What's more, he is still a formal teacher in No. 1 Middle School, which is an extremely stable job to ensure income during drought and flood.
From this point of view, Geng Wenyang is far from comparable.
Although Geng Wenyang did not think about the relationship between the two, he always felt that Daniel Zhang was unreliable. It's just that as an outsider, he can't speak out and ruin the relationship between other people's classmates, so he can only wisely remain silent.
Geng Wenyang pondered carefully for a while and said: "Sister, you can partner with him, but you must take care of the accounts well, and be careful of being cheated by others." ”
"No, it won't." Zhuang Xiaomeng said indifferently: "We are classmates, and he is a teacher in No. 1 Middle School, no matter what happens, he will not pit me." ”
The closer people are, the more likely they are to cause harm, because trust in each other is almost unguarded, and if something happens, it can often cause extremely serious emotional damage.
Zhuang Xiaomeng insisted on going his own way, and Geng Wenyang didn't want to say anything, just asked, "You haven't said how much money you borrowed." ”
"Three thousand!" Zhuang Xiaomeng stretched out three white and slender fingers and said, "I have two thousand, can you lend me another three thousand?" ”
Geng Wenyang now has more than 600,000 yuan in his hand, and lending 3,000 yuan is only a drop in the bucket for him, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay!" No problem. ”
In the early morning of the next day, Geng Wenyang drove the motor tricycle of the printing house to pull Zhuang Xiaomeng, and called Xin Rong's sisters and brothers to help together, and went to the small pick-up office of the railway station to receive five large boxes sent by Pengcheng, and helped them to transport them back to the new house on Caojia Street.
Together with the two sets of loose parts that were moved back from Zhuang Xiaomeng's house a few days ago, a total of twelve sets of large game consoles can be assembled. However, in order to truly turn them into playable arcade machines, there is a lack of supporting iron frames and machine shells.
Xin Xudong happened to be working as a temporary worker in an iron processing factory, so Geng Wenyang commissioned him to process twelve sets of iron frames supporting the machine according to the drawings he designed.
To put it bluntly, the game console shell is a cover, which plays a protective and aesthetic role, and it is best to use thin wooden boards to make and process, and finally paint it.
It's a pity that none of the friends he knows can do carpenter's work, and no one can do the work of making shells out of planks. In desperation, Geng Wenyang thought of his grandfather, Li Peiyuan, an eighth-level carpenter in the paper factory.
Li Peiyuan followed the carpenter master as an apprentice since he was a child, and worked in the carpenter business until his retirement, and was a well-known master in the carpenter industry in Parktown.
Although he is over seventy years old, Li Peiyuan's craftsmanship has never been lost, and the small work of making a few game console covers is naturally very simple for him.
Just ask Li Peiyuan to go out of the mountain to help, and he will definitely let his parents know, and he can't hide it if he wants to. What's more, after the new house is completed, Geng Wenyang will have to move there, and he also needs to get the consent of his parents.
The last day of July happened to be Sunday, and after much deliberation, Geng Wenyang found an excuse to lead Geng Huizhong and Li Yufen to the new house on Caojia Street.
When they learned that the brand-new three-story building in front of them and the courtyard of Nuoda were their son's property, Geng Huizhong and his wife were stunned and speechless for a long time.
"Yang Yang ......" Geng Huizhong said with horror: "You...... Where did you get all this money from? ”
Geng Wenyang pretended to be proud and said: "Dad, I wrote several martial arts novels, and Uncle Zhuang helped print the books and sold them for 70,000 or 80,000 yuan." ”
"What...... What?! Li Yufen couldn't believe her ears, and hesitated: "Seventy or eighty thousand yuan? ”
"Hmm." Geng Wenyang said calmly: "Mom, this is just given, and there are tens of thousands of yuan in the follow-up." ”
If you add tens of thousands to seventy or eighty thousand, it's not more than 100,000?
Geng Huizhong and his wife only felt that their brains were not enough, and said in fear: "If you can make so much money by writing a book, it will be fine, right?" ”
Geng Wenyang had to comfort: "Dad, this is not a lot of money." Those southern bosses in the small commodity market, which is not worth tens or even millions. The little money I make from writing books is nothing. ”
"According to the numbers you said, it adds up to more than 100,000 yuan, and I can't earn so much money in my life!" Geng Huizhong shook his head and said, "I always feel uneasy about making so much money at a young age." ”
Li Yufen also covered her heart and said, "Yes! As long as you have enough money to spend, don't arrest you with so much money. ”
Geng Wenyang was amused by his mother's words and sneered: "Mom, look at what you said." My money is coming in the right way, how can you get me arrested. ”
Geng Wenyang didn't invite his parents here to scare them, let alone show off. He quickly went straight to the point and said, "Mom and Dad, I built this house to open a video game hall......"
"Video arcade!?" The old couple was stunned by their son's words again, and stammered: "Yangyang...... This...... This ......"
Geng Wenyang explained in a good voice: "Don't worry, I have already bought the game console. It's just that the game console needs to be made of wooden planks, and I can't find anyone who can do carpenter's work, so I want to ask my grandfather to help. ”
Li Yufen was bolder than her husband, and after calming down, she suddenly realized that her son needed a helper to open a game hall, which was the best way to solve the problem that her rural relatives wanted to come to the city to work.
Thinking of this, she hurriedly asked, "Yangyang, have you found good people for the game hall?" ”
Geng Wenyang secretly sighed that his mother's brain was spinning fast, and in the blink of an eye, she thought of the benefits that she could bring to opening a game hall.
"Nope." Geng Wenyang told the truth: "I want Xin Xudong's sister to take care of the finances. She's been to our house, you've seen it. ”
Li Yufen pondered for a while and said, "Yangyang, it's no problem to ask your grandfather for help, I'll just go and tell him." ”
Geng Wenyang was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Mom!" ”
"Don't be in a hurry to thank you just yet." Li Yufen continued: "Your Aunt Lan's son is your cousin Jianguo, who said a while ago that he wanted to come to the city to find a job, so I think it would be better to do it here with you." ”
Geng Wenyang searched for who Jianguo's cousin was, and couldn't help muttering, "Aunt Lan's son? ”
"Yes, his name is Han Jianguo." Li Yufen disliked her son and said: "When I was a child, I took you to live in someone's house for several days, did you forget it all?" ”
Geng Wenyang really couldn't remember who Han Jianguo was, so he had to say: "I can't remember clearly." ”
"You, you!" Li Yufen reminded: "Your grandmother's relatives are the sons of my uncle's daughter." He has a big knife and red tassel gun at home, your favorite thing to play, remember? ”
"My grandmother's relative, my mother's uncle's daughter's son?" Geng Wen raised his heart and said: "How can I understand such a complicated relationship?" Besides, I'm a time-traveler, and I've long forgotten everything I did when I was a child. ”
But he said, "Oh, I remember......"
