"It's okay, little treasure, no need to join in"
Lu Jiaming saw the embarrassment on the little guy's face and comforted him, "You and Yuxuan can keep the money. If you want to give big brother and second brother other gifts, you can buy yours. Third brother and I will find a way to buy an electric car."
"Haven't you heard the saying? A penny can make a hero fall." Lu Yuxuan said seriously, "What can I do? Borrow money?"
"What are you borrowing? Don't you have to pay back the money you borrow?" Lu Jiaming raised his hand and gently tapped his head. "It doesn't matter. A penny can make a hero fail, but it can't make us young men fail."
"At our age, what we lack the least is brains and drive"
"If that's the case..." Xiaobao instantly rekindled his hope, "Fourth Brother, do you have a solution?"
"I guess so," Lu Jiaming said, "but this is just an idea that has just been put into practice. I don't know if it will work."
"We plan to earn our own money to buy electric cars," Lu Jiayang took over. "My eldest and second brothers' birthdays are at the end of this month, and the affiliated high school's space is occupied by Renmin University's dual degree selection program, so the start of school is delayed. We don't have to rush to prepare for the start of school, so we still have plenty of time."
"Damn, you two are so brave!" Lu Yuxuan was stunned. "If my eldest and second brothers knew that you were working every day to buy birthday gifts, they would definitely not agree."
"Then don't let them know," Lu Jiayang said, "My eldest brother can't sit still. He'll probably be busy again as soon as he recovers from his illness in the next two days. My second brother has been preparing for the exam and spends most of his time in the library."
"If they really ask where Jiaming and I went, then the job of covering up the lie will be left to you two... Forget it, leave it to you, baby. Lu Yuxuan is unreliable."
"Why am I unreliable?" Lu Yuxuan glared, "Just wait and see how I'll make it up when the time comes!"
Xiaobao was a little worried: "But if I lie to my eldest and second brothers like this, will they be angry?"
"No, this is a white lie," Lu Jiaming said. "We'll tell them everything on their birthday. Even though they might still get scolded, they'll definitely be happy. If there's any money left, it can help with household expenses. This deal is a win-win."
"Yeah, that's true." Xiaobao thought for a moment, "Then where are you going to work?"
"Well..." Lu Jiaming touched his nose awkwardly, "I haven't found it yet."
"Huh??" Lu Yuxuan exclaimed, "So after all this talk, the most important thing hasn't been decided yet? Fourth brother, it's almost your birthday, and you haven't even seen a penny yet."
Lu Jiaming sighed: "Just because I haven't found it yet doesn't mean I won't be able to find it forever."
"The main reason is that many stores now require summer workers to work for a full month before they can get paid, but we can't wait that long, so I still want to see if there are any jobs that can pay daily wages."
"Then... Fourth brother, what if we really can't find it?" Xiaobao asked cautiously.
"It doesn't matter. I have a last resort." Lu Jiaming smiled proudly. "If there is really no other way, I will go to work in Ze Ge's supermarket. He promised me that if I go, he will pay me daily, 500 a day."
"Mr. Duo?!" The three of them were shocked at the same time.
"Isn't it quite high?" Lu Jiaming laughed. "I was also shocked when I heard this number. I guess Brother Ze must have known the purpose of my part-time job, so he deliberately gave me such a high salary. It's likely that he paid for it out of his own pocket."
Lu Jiayang frowned slightly: "Why does it feel like Brother Ze is giving us money to buy electric cars?"
"Yeah, that's exactly what happened," Lu Jiaming sighed, "That's why I said this was the only solution."
"It's okay, just take your time to find it." Lu Jiayang patted his shoulder. "At worst, I'll pay more and you'll take less."
"Hmm?" Xiao Bao noticed the implication behind his words. "Third brother, have you found a job yet?"
Lu Jiayang hummed. "Next to the recording studio I rented is an art training center. They're short of vocal and dance teachers. I've agreed with them that I can substitute teach until they officially hire teachers. I'll be paid daily and can come and go as I please."
"Are you determined now?" Lu Jiaming fell on the bed with his back facing the sky. "You're moving too fast. I'm even more anxious."
"Why rush? Things will work out when the time comes," Lu Jiayang said with a smile. "No matter what, we have to give them a good birthday this time."
"That's a must," Lu Jiaming said.
"To be honest, I've already thought of what gifts to give them," Lu Yuxuan said with a grin, "It's definitely no worse than your electric cars."
"Okay, then we'll wait and see," Lu Jiaming said with a smile, "I believe this birthday surprise will be a great success."
"I have a feeling too," Xiaobao suddenly said, "something big and happy will happen that day."
"Really, Xiaobao?" Lu Yuxuan rubbed his hands expectantly. "Give me another hunch. Is my entrance exam going to be cancelled?"
Xiaobao looked at him with a puzzled look: "What? It's not Fifth Brother."
“Although I don’t know what will happen exactly, I can feel that the good thing is about Big Brother.”
Lu Zixiao had originally planned to rest for only two days, but perhaps because Lin Ze described his fever too seriously to the coffee shop owner and the students' parents on the day he had it, everyone tried their best to dissuade him from resting for another day.
At this moment, he was lying on the bed, staring at the screen of his mobile phone with a dull look.
I haven't felt this bored for a long time.
