While eating, Cheng Hao handed Lin Yuxun his clothes and said, "Try them on."
Lin Yuxun is very thin, so as long as the clothes are long enough, there is no need to worry about him not being able to wear them. Buying clothes is still very simple. Cheng Hao picked out a few styles according to his preferences.
He always liked bright colors. When buying clothes, he chose bright red and yellow for Danny. When it came to Lin Yuxun's place, he restrained a little, but also chose a beige shirt and burgundy pants.
Because he didn't have enough money, Cheng Hao bought all the cheap clothes and pants, but even so, they were still new clothes.
Over the years, all of Lin Yuxun's clothes were bought from thrift stores. His father had bought him new clothes before, but those clothes were all gray - his father felt that black and gray clothes were more resistant to stains.
It was the first time he had seen such new and brightly colored clothes.
Lin Yuxun stood there in a daze, holding the clothes that still exuded the unique smell of new clothes - could he wear such clothes?
Cheng Hao added, "Go and try it on."
Lin Yuxun took the clothes and went into the bedroom to change.
Seeing this, Cheng Hao said to Danny, "I don't know if your brother looks good in this outfit. Sigh...it doesn't look good on me at all."
As soon as Cheng Hao crossed over, he found that he had a very good-looking body. He even boasted about it at that time, but when he went clothes shopping today, he was shocked.
He found that many clothes did not look good on him, and the reason was simple... he was darker.
A few days ago, he went out to exercise every afternoon. Every time he exercised, he was outdoors and was exposed to the sun, so he got tanned.
It was pretty impressive that those people watching the game yesterday called him "cutie" at his dark face.
But if you think about it carefully, even if he is black, he is still whiter than those black people, so it’s actually okay?
Cheng Hao said to Danny again, "Danny, you look so good now, but don't let your appearance change in the future... If you don't, I think you'll be able to charm girls with just your face."
Danny had no idea what Cheng Hao was talking about. He looked at Cheng Hao and then at the bedroom door.
Lin Yuxun came out after changing his clothes.
Cheng Hao has a straight male aesthetic, and his matching skills are actually a mess, and the materials of the clothes he bought are not very good.
But when Lin Yuxun wore these clothes, he seemed like a different person.
Lin Yuxun's clothes had always been baggy, but the clothes Cheng Hao had chosen this time were a perfect fit. Sixteen years old and still growing taller, Lin Yuxun also had a pair of long legs.
At this moment, Lin Yuxun did not lower his head as he usually did outside, but raised his head, revealing a handsome face.
Cheng Hao said: "It's true that clothes make the man, and Buddha relies on gold. You look really good in new clothes!" Lin Yuxun and Danny's mother must be very beautiful, otherwise the two brothers would not look so outstanding.
Lin Yuxun blushed and felt useless - whenever he thought about the fact that Cheng Hao bought this clothes for a boxing match, he felt that the clothes were too heavy for him to wear.
But he couldn't not wear it.
Cheng Hao bought him clothes. If he doesn’t wear them, will Cheng Hao be unhappy?
Lin Yuxun had all sorts of thoughts in his mind, but Cheng Hao started to invite him to dinner and said, "Lin Yuxun, after I get next week's salary in a few days, let's move to another place."
"Why?" Lin Yuxun asked, "It's pretty good here." The main reason is that it saves money. Even with the current two-dollar increase, the weekly rent of Mr. Danpier's garage is only eight dollars, which is already the cheapest accommodation nearby. If it weren't for Aunt Beverly, he might not be able to rent it.
The most important thing is that he can afford this rent. If it were more expensive, he wouldn't be able to afford it.
Cheng Hao said, "It's too unsafe here. When I came back from shopping today, there were people peeking outside. If possible, we'd better move to another place."
"But……"
"Don't worry about the money, I can make money!" Cheng Hao smiled brightly at Lin Yuxun.
Lin Yuxun didn't want him to make money at all.
He wanted Cheng Hao to stop boxing, but he shouldn't know about this... For a moment, his throat seemed to be blocked, making him unable to speak.
Cheng Hao added, "I spent all my money today. I really shouldn't have... We still have to save money in the future. When the time comes, we will move out of this community and find another one where you and Danny can go to school."
"I'm already grown up and don't need to go to school." Lin Yuxun said without thinking.
"You don't want to go to school?" Cheng Hao looked at Lin Yuxun in surprise.
Lin Yuxun said: "I don't want to go to school."
"Don't you want to make money? How can you make money if you don't go to school?" Cheng Hao asked.
"I can make money now." Lin Yuxun said.
Cheng Hao looked at Lin Yuxun seriously: "Lin Yuxun, we need to have a good talk."
Cheng Hao felt that he needed to brainwash Lin Yuxun and make him change his current thinking.
He admitted that in this world, some people can achieve amazing success without studying, but that is not easy.
They may have caught the express train of the times. For example, during this period in China, there was a group of people who may not have much education but were brave and hardworking and quickly became rich.
Some of them were born into excellent families, possessed broad knowledge and connections, and achieved success through this. These people have excellent family backgrounds and of course they do not have to have academic qualifications.
But it is difficult for Lin Yuxun to do so. He does not have a good family background, and the country they live in is not full of opportunities like China is today.
In the United States at that time, it was very difficult for poor and uneducated people to make a name for themselves unless they did jobs like boxing, like he did.
What if Lin Yuxun is smart? If he has to engage in busy labor to make a living, will he have time to learn and change his life? He will only live a mediocre life.
In his previous life, Cheng Hao didn't study much as a young man; he was busy training. Later, as he got older, he settled in and read a lot of books. He read most of the bestsellers, just casually, but he still remembered a lot of the content. For example, there was a book called "My Life at the Bottom," which left a deep impression on him.
This book is about the lives of the lower classes in the United States. The author hides her own identity and status to experience the life of the lower class, and then finds that no matter how hard she tries, she can only struggle to maintain a basic life...
What does it matter if Lin Yuxun is smart? If he can't leave this community and get a better education, how can he have the chance to show his talent?
"If you keep working, then after you pay the rent, food and other bills, you will never be able to save any money, and you will always have to live the same life as now, no different from everyone around you. But if you can study, you will have the opportunity to change your destiny. You should know how high the income of doctors and lawyers is, and those who do investment, when they reach the extreme, they can even destroy the economy of a small country." Cheng Hao said a lot to Lin Yuxun.
In his previous life, he concentrated on boxing and didn't even know how to buy stocks, but the bigwigs in the investment or Internet industry had heard of it, so they gave some examples at this time.
Cheng Hao said a lot, but Lin Yuxun kept his head down and didn't respond.
He knew what Cheng Hao said was right.
But he knew better that studying cost a lot of money and they didn't have the money.
Cheng Hao had been thinking about himself, but Lin Yuxun didn't want to listen. He changed the subject: "Actually, it's very simple to move to a new house. There's a vacant attic in this building. We can rent it."
"Still living here?" Cheng Hao hesitated.
"Mr. Danville's rent is not expensive. The most important thing is that the attic is above where Mr. Danville lives, so it is safer." Lin Yuxun whispered and talked about the situation in the attic.
After listening to Lin Yuxun's explanation, Cheng Hao also thought this was a good idea.
The building they lived in covered an area of about ninety square meters. It had three floors and a low attic above the three floors. All of this belonged to Mr. Dampier.
Mr. Dampier was unemployed. He lived on the third floor and divided the ground floor and the second floor into two parts, renting them out to four families in total. He also rented out the attic on the top floor, and he lived on the rent.
The attic was connected to a small balcony and had three rooms in total. The rent was not low. The previous tenant had just been kicked out by Mr. Danpier before Cheng Hao appeared because he could not pay the rent.
Mr. Dampier's bad temper these days is also related to the fact that his attic has not been rented out... The rent of the attic is fifteen dollars a week. If it cannot be rented out, his weekly income will be reduced by fifteen dollars.
"Then let's wait a few days and then rent a loft," Cheng Hao said.
At the beginning, he had a bad impression of Mr. Dampier. After all, Mr. Dampier was too fierce at that time.
But after realizing that everyone here was very irritable, he calmed down.
"I have money now." Lin Yuxun said. He thought for a moment, then went into the bedroom. He rummaged around in several different places and took out a lot of money. He put it all in front of Cheng Hao: "I have money. If you want to change houses, we can do it right away. You don't have to work."
Lin Yuxun's behavior of hiding his belongings separately like a little mouse is quite cute... Cheng Hao counted the money.
A total of one hundred and fifty-seven yuan.
Just as he finished counting, Lin Yuxun took out a few silver coins from the pocket of the clothes he had just changed. Putting them together, there was a total of 160 yuan.
Converted into RMB before Cheng Hao traveled through time, it would be about four or five thousand, which is the average person's monthly salary.
"Actually, I have a lot of money..." Lin Yuxun said. He knew that Cheng Hao thought he was poor, but in fact, he had saved some money.
Sometimes he would rather eat less and find ways to save money.
Cheng Hao: “…”
He just spent two hundred yuan in one go today, and he really didn't think a hundred yuan was a lot at all...
However, if they have this money, they don't have to wait until later to move, they can move right now.
Cheng Hao said, "You're amazing. You've saved so much money... I'll go find Mr. Dampier and we'll move right away."
"So fast?" Lin Yuxun was a little stunned.
Cheng Hao patted Lin Yuxun's shoulder and said, "Xiaoxun, I'll teach you one more thing. Whatever we want to do, we must do it immediately. Only those who have enough initiative can achieve success."
Lin Yuxun seemed to be lost in thought, but Cheng Hao had already taken the money and went upstairs to knock on Mr. Danpier's door.
Although the living conditions in the garage on the ground floor are not good, it is still easy to rent out because of its low price. In comparison, the attic is not so easy to rent out.
Mr. Danpier was very happy to let Lin Yuxun and Cheng Hao rent a new place, but there was one thing that needed to be resolved first: "My door! You must change my door!"
The author has something to say:
Rolling shutter: Why have I been broken for so long and you haven’t fixed me yet?
