The bedrooms were basic.

An old-fashioned wooden bed, an old desk, a bench, and a two-door wardrobe with peeling paint that can't tell what age it is, that's all there is to the room.

The environment is decent, not too good, not too bad. The only ornament is the beachhead New Year's painting on the wall - the rat marries.

Meng Qingchi wanted to buy him some new furniture several times, but he politely refused. He was embarrassed to trouble others too much, and he was afraid that he would not be able to afford compensation if he broke it, after all, he was only the temporary owner of this family.

This is the inexplicable stubbornness of his young age.

Or that he is afraid that others will be too good to him, and he can't afford it.

If it weren't for the fact that his nerves were a little weakened due to excessive mental pressure in the past few years, and hearing the sound of snoring and teeth grinding in the dormitory, he would have easily suffered insomnia all night long, affecting his studies, and would rather live in the school dormitory than come out to toss around.

The desk has three drawers from left to right.

Lu An took out the key from the mouth of his pants and inserted it into the lock hole, twisted it hard to the right, opened the lock, and then hooked his fingers to the rusty copper ring, and gently pulled it, and the leftmost drawer was in full view.

It's full of books and exam papers.

His gaze swept over the stack of books and test papers, and Lu An, who was fixed, took out a yellowed book "Ordinary World" from the bottom, which was from his cousin Lu Xueping, and was his favorite reading book when he was young.

The stories in the book resonated with him and have inspired him all these years.

With his right hand rubbing over the cover, he turned the page.

On page 20, there are 2 bucks.

On pages 24, 28, and 32, find 5 dollars each.

On page 36, there is a 10 yuan note.

On pages 44 and 48, there is a 50 banknote.

Spread the banknotes on the table in a row, and put together a total of 7 bills, totaling 127 yuan.

Putting together the 10 yuan he just got, the cumulative amount reached 137 yuan, which was the richest savings in his high school career.

Half of it is the "rent" contributed by Lu Xueping, and part of it is the rest of the scholarship after deducting food, accommodation, and tuition and miscellaneous expenses for each semester.

In addition, some of the income is from the stalls.

That's right, it's a stall.

Every time he returned from the summer vacation, he would bring some sun-dried wild mushrooms from the village to the city to sell.

Because he was afraid of being embarrassed and being known by familiar people, he would generally stay away from the area of Guifei Lane and No. 1 Middle School, and choose to set up a stall in the west of the city on the other side of the river.

Even if he was so cautious, he was once recognized by a female classmate in the class, which made him nervous for a while.

Fortunately, the female classmate didn't publicize it afterwards, and slowly he forgot about it again.

It's only 137 yuan, and it's still far from the money to buy a sewing machine for her sister, Lu An looked down at the money, and the bad things in his mind automatically surfaced again.

He originally had a fairly good family, but the taste of happiness changed after only a few bites.

His old father was a top student of Wuhan University in that era, and he got rid of the poor identity of rural people by himself, took up the national iron rice bowl, and was admired by the villagers.

At that time, this was a great event in the village, and for this reason, three nights of open-air movies were played in Daoguping to celebrate, and all the men, women and children of the village came to watch the movie with small stools.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, this old father was an angry young man who lost his job for some special reasons and was sent back to his hometown. Since then, I have been depressed, and then I have been mixed up, and the people are gone.

His mother was originally from the city, and the two knew and loved each other when the old father was at his most promising. When she fell in the middle of the family road, she chose love and followed back to the countryside. The death of her father devastated her, and she finally fell ill under the double pressure of spirit and poverty.

Lu An has an eldest sister Lu Yan, who became the pillar of the family after graduating from primary school, and took on the burden of taking care of her younger siblings alone. Now an apprentice in a tailor shop in town, her biggest wish is to have her own sewing machine.

The eldest sister is outstanding, diligent in her hands and feet, but she is 22 years old and has not yet started a marriage, which is a rare thing in the era of early marriage and early childbearing. Behind the scenes, there is a lot of gossip from long-tongued women.

It stands to reason that with Lu Yan's conditions, it is not difficult to find a man to live, and there have been many young students in the village and outside the village who have expressed their admiration. But most of them were scared off by her brother and sister.

No one is rich these days, every bowl of rice and every penny of money has to be tightened in his pants, and life is hard haha. Who wants to act as a wronged boss to help support two outsiders?

Lu An's younger sister is Song Jia, the daughter of her uncle, and she is in her third year of junior high school in the town this year.

I remember that when my old father was still alive, one day my uncle came to the door in the middle of the night, and left his sister-in-law Song Jia, who was a few years old, to his brother-in-law and sister, and never returned.

Later, in my mother's will, I learned that my aunt was a fashionable Xiangjiang person, and later went to RB for her ideals. My uncle went to RB to look for her, but there was no news of her.

Thinking of this uncle who he hadn't seen for many years, Lu An rarely didn't blame him, but just sighed deeply. This uncle didn't have a good time in RB, and for some reason, his right hand, which he relied on to paint, was broken.

Later, Lu An asked the reason, but his uncle seemed to be very evasive about it and never mentioned it to anyone.

In addition, he has two aunts, both of whom are authentic farmers, but they are very good people, and it is because of these two aunts that the old Lu family has been able to get through the most difficult period.

In the current messy situation at home, Lu An wants to cry without tears, and he doesn't have the courage to be heroic in life and start over.

In my last life, I was also a 211 professor, and my salary was not low. In addition, he has a painting skill, and he can sell hundreds of thousands of millions a year in his middle and late years.

But now, thinking about fighting his way out of poverty again, he felt flustered even more than a second of thinking about it.

I had a meal with a confidante and drank a glass of wine, but I didn't have time to do anything out of the ordinary, why did this thief let him come back to suffer this crime?

Silently put the money into the pages, put the book back in the drawer, locked it, and lay down on the bed.

In his previous life, he was smooth sailing, and he lived more comfortably, but he owed too much to his family, could it be that God made him reborn to compensate?

Thinking of the eldest sister who was delayed and the sister who was about to be delayed, he felt irritable for no reason, and suddenly felt that he couldn't sit still anymore.

I have to earn money to meet my eldest sister's wishes, buy her a sewing machine, and prepare a dowry for her, so that she can marry in the future; I also have to prepare tuition for my sister, and I can't let her drop out of school and work before finishing her first year of high school like in her previous life.

Song Jia dropped out of school halfway is a lifelong regret for him, because her grades have always been really good.

The mood to make money is very eager, and he doesn't want to wait for a minute or a second, but he tries hard to pick gold ingots from his memory, and in 1991, he also remembered a Hainan real estate.

But Hainan is far away, and there is no time and capital.

You can't drop out of school to earn money, right?

After experiencing the future life, I will naturally not be so short-sighted, and my academic background may not determine a person's upper limit, but it can basically represent a person's lower limit.

What's more, it's still a college degree in this year, how precious it is.

Putting aside this unrealistic opportunity, Luan began to dissect himself.

In my previous life, in addition to my own teaching job, the earliest part-time job I was involved in was trading stocks with my colleagues.

How so?

Maybe he entered the industry early, maybe he has a good heart, or maybe he is lazy, and after buying stocks, he often leaves them there and doesn't care, and the result is that he earns more than those economics professors who teach futures and stock trading.

Although I have made a lot of money, it is not possible to talk about how exquisite the technology is, and the domestic stock market is still experimenting, so the idea of making money on this road will not work for the time being.

Stocks didn't work, and he naturally thought of drawing.

Influenced by his mother and uncle's family education since childhood, Lu An has been interested in painting since he can remember, and he is quite talented, but due to family reasons, he was unable to continue this hobby when he was young.

It wasn't until I became a university teacher and got acquainted with a teacher majoring in art at the same school that I picked up this hobby again.

When he first proposed to learn to draw with his friend, his friend said to him: If you make money from this, I advise you not to bother; If you want to improve your overall level of painting, then you can learn from me.

I didn't expect this to learn, he really learned to be famous, when his friend's paintings were still at the price of 20,000 to 30,000 pairs, he was already better than blue, and the unit price was less than 500,000 Don't ask.

Of course, learning to paint was a long process, and it took him 20 years to achieve this achievement without shortage of money.

It is precisely because of his knowledge of painting that he deeply understands how deep the water is in this profession.

Let's put it this way, a painter's painting is not worth it, it depends on two basic points.

One is the level of painting.

The second is fame.

In particular, the second point is very important, if the painter is not famous, it is difficult to sell for a good price, or even not at all, no matter how high the level is.

In other words, art is generally led by the bigwigs in the circle, the bigwigs say that your painting is good, it is valuable, and if it is not good, it is not worth much.

And in his previous life, he was able to rise to the top in this industry, in addition to his own hard skills, he also met nobles.

Thinking of this, Lu An was instantly discouraged, not to mention fame now, he was so poor that he couldn't even afford the most ordinary paper and pen expenses.

The more he thought about it, the more stuffy he became, like being stuffed in water, so stuffy that he couldn't breathe.

How can this be?

Is it really like Lu Xueping, who is not stingy, to eat with this face that makes women can't close their legs?

"Knock knock...!"

Just as he was lying in a melancholy state, there was a knock at the door outside the courtyard.

"Knock knock...! Luan, open the door. ”

This is, this is Meng Qingchi's voice, Lu An, who was in confusion, reacted at this time, and hurriedly got out of bed and walked out.

Leaving the hall and walking through the courtyard, Lu An grabbed the horizontal wooden plug and pulled it to the side, "squeaked", and opened the door.

At this time, Meng Qingchi stood outside the door, wearing a small green floral dress, with a soft face, a pair of sleeping phoenix eyes, and a goose face, like a woman in an ancient painting.

This is a very beautiful woman, according to the original words of Mrs. Wu at No. 3 Guifei Lane: Meng Qingchi's character and beauty can marry a provincial cadre.

Walking into the courtyard with a woven bag, the thin strap transparent high-heeled sandals made a soft sound on the stone slab, Meng Qingchi watched in the courtyard, and the wind was quiet and fragrant for a while.

This scene is an autumn impression that Luan will never get rid of.
