(Novel complete) She suddenly returned to a time before the apocalypse. Chu Tianhua spent her entire fortune collecting resources, ensuring she had everything for eating, wearing, and daily use, fi...
Brother Li glanced at his wife and continued, "I suggest that my younger sister go live in another place for two years, away from her parents, and learn to grow up on her own. We can then bring her back after two years, so she doesn't delay getting married."
Father Li made the final decision, "Boss, I remember you said a few days ago that your army's guesthouse is short of receptionists, right?"
Seeing Brother Li nod, he continued, "Then when you leave in a couple of days, take Zhizhi with you. I'll have Secretary Wang take care of it tomorrow due to work!"
Listening to their arrangements, Li Jianmin did not express any opinion. Anyway, if Li Zhizhi was not his biological sister, he would not have just slapped her twice.
The next morning, just when Yao Xiuli was about to get up to queue up to buy some jujube paste cake, Li Jianmin hugged her and stopped her from going.
"Be good, I won't go. I made an agreement with her last night. If she wants to eat, she can buy it herself."
Yao Xiuli blinked, "But, doesn't my younger sister have to go to work today?"
Li Jianmin closed his eyes and said casually, "Then don't eat it. It's just a jujube paste cake. You won't starve to death if you don't eat it!"
"You've been getting up early every day lately. It's been a while since you've accompanied me to sleep in. Today, please stay asleep with me and my daughter..."
“···”
Yao Xiuli turned around and looked at Li Jianmin who had his eyes closed. After thinking for a while, she also closed her eyes. Anyway, he was in charge of everything. She thought that even if her younger sister had some opinions, she would not dare to lose her temper in front of him, right?
On the road to the suburbs of Beijing, Chu Tian followed the direction of the car in front and turned.
"Second brother, when we woke up this morning, Secretary Jiang said we'd probably be in the suburbs of Beijing by noon..."
Chu Min looked at the desolate scenery outside the car, nodded, and said in a tone of great regret.
"Well, I guess I won't be able to stay in Beijing for a few days this time..."
Chu Tian laughed, "Second brother, it's almost done. I saw that you bought a lot of things when you were in Sichuan Province. In total, you bought more than 2,000 kilograms of goods, right?"
Chu Min chuckled and glanced at Chu Tian sideways, "If I hadn't run out of money, I would have liked to collect some more!"
“······”
Chu Tian glanced at him helplessly, "How much money do you have on you now? Do you need me to lend you some?"
"I have less than three hundred on me."
After a pause, he looked at Chu Tian in disbelief, "You still have money? How much is left?"
Chu Tian grinned and said, "Not much, but there are still more than 2,000, right?"
“····”
Chu Min was silent for a moment, then gave him a thumbs up and said, "Then when we get to the capital, lend me five hundred. I'll pay you back when we get back."
Chu Tian stared straight at the front windshield, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is five hundred enough?"
"How about a thousand?"
"Is one thousand enough for you?"
"Enough, I guess it won't cost much..."
"Okay, then I won't be polite with you."
"We are all brothers, why are you being so polite? It's not like you won't return it..."
"Haha, what will happen if you don't return it?"
"So what? I spent a thousand dollars to see what kind of person Second Brother is... What else can I do?"
"Don't worry, your second brother won't let you down!"
After thinking for a while, Chu Min asked again, "By the way, what can we buy in Beijing City and bring back to make money?"
Chu Tian glanced at him again and said, "It depends on whether you only care about the small amount of money in front of you or the big money in the future!"
Chu Min didn't understand Chu Tian's meaning for a moment, "Little brother, what do you mean?"
Chu Tian said casually, "If you just want to make some quick money, just buy some cakes, pickles, sesame paste, etc. from Beijing and resell them back."
"What about the big bucks?"
"Big money? I suggest you collect some old items."
Chu Min was confused. "What the hell? What old thing?"
Chu Tian sighed in his heart, "Second brother, you should know, what kind of people lived in Jing City before?"
“They are all dignitaries!”
"They have a lot of money, but apart from food, clothing, transportation and shelter, what do they do with the rest?"
"Women are just obsessed with dressing up. Clothes are not worth much, but all kinds of jewelry are bought with a lot of money! What about men? Once they have enough money, they will not only pursue material things, but also pursue spiritual things, such as..."
Chu Min asked subconsciously, "Like what?"
"For example, they might want to collect antiques to show off their status!"
As he was speaking, Chu Tian saw the convoy in front slow down, so he eased off the accelerator a little.
Chu Min was silent for a moment before he said, "Little brother, have you forgotten that if you take those things out, your whole family will be ruined!"
Chu Tian continued, "Second brother, our country won't be like this forever. We need to develop. I don't think this kind of life will last forever. Those various items left by our ancestors won't never see the light of day."
"Brother, let's make a bet! Let's bet that those old things that are now buried in the dust and never see the light of day may reach heights that ordinary people like us can't reach in the future!"
Looking at Chu Min's shocked expression, Chu Tian just smiled and didn't say anything. As for whether Chu Min could figure it out, that was his business. Anyway, he had already given him a clear reminder.
If he still doesn't understand, he can't say that he traveled back from decades in the future, and those things will be sky-high prices decades later, right?
Chu Min tilted his head to look at Chu Tian's profile and fell into deep thought!
If it were a few years ago, Chu Min would definitely not believe Chu Tian's words. He would just think that Chu Tian was talking nonsense. After all, the movements in the previous years were so frightening that anyone who saw them would be terrified!
However, after spending the past few years with Chu Tian, Chu Min inexplicably began to believe what Chu Tian said and felt that what he said would definitely come true in the near future.
"So, this is why you like to collect some stones?"
“····”
Chu Tian looked back at Chu Min and explained helplessly, "Second brother, that's not a stone, that's jade! Did you know? In ancient times, jade was very valuable!"
"Second brother, you're so smart, you should understand the saying, 'In prosperous times, antiques are valuable, in troubled times, gold', right? The depth of antiques might dazzle you, but gold is always valuable, even if you can't find it on the market right now."
"So, you think those old things are worthless and don't want to buy them. You buy connections! But I advise you, if you come across someone selling gold, whether it's gold bars or jewelry, don't hesitate. Hesitation for even a second will hurt your future pocket money."
“······”
Chu Min leaned his elbow against the car window, supported his face with his palm, looked at Chu Tian's serious expression, and couldn't help laughing. He thought that his younger brother was becoming more and more interesting.
Chu Tian was frightened by Chu Min's gaze, "Second brother, why do you always stare at your younger brother?"
Chu Min curled his lips, "Brother feels that I am becoming more and more powerful..."
Chu Tian, "..."
