Lin Yi glared at his son angrily: "Who are you following? You follow the teacher!"
"Dad, there is still a month before school starts. I can work with you until the end of August and it won't delay my schooling." Yongqiang guaranteed, waving a wad of money in front of his chest.
"Your father just said that he won't come out this time when he goes back." Cai Genbao said to his nephew, "But I, your uncle, plan to continue running this business."
"Ah? Dad, you don't do this anymore? Then what are you going to do? Are you still selling rat poison?" Yongqiang asked three times in a row. Without waiting for Lin Yi to answer him, he continued to say, "Then uncle, I can work with you. I can still work for another month. You can just give me some hard-earned money."
After talking to his uncle, he turned back and continued to say to Lin Yi: "Dad, you just said you would give me 5,000? Are you serious?"
"Really? And dad won't ask you for this money, and your mom doesn't want it either. You can keep it and decide how to spend it. But don't tell your eldest brother yet."
Yongqiang cheered and jumped high. He rushed to Lin Yi, grabbed his father's waist, and used his knees to lift his father up, but he couldn't.
Alas, he is too thin and weak, but he will be rich soon, and he can eat as much as he wants after meals. He can also eat two eggs a week, and strive to grow taller and stronger.
As for not telling my eldest brother, hey, he still wants Dad to keep it a secret for him. It's best not to tell anyone. What if someone finds out and borrows money from him? What if they steal his money? He's not stupid. If he doesn't tell anyone, he won't tell anyone.
but--
Yongqiang's eyes rolled. "This time, his father brought less than a thousand yuan with him, and in just two weeks, it increased more than 60 times. He now has five thousand yuan. There's still a month left before school starts. He has the channels to purchase goods and the experience to sell them. Well, then, does he...?"
"Why don't you just stop going to school? Even if you go, you might not be able to get into university. Even if you do, after graduation you'll be assigned a job that only pays a hundred or eighty yuan a month."
Lin Yi counted on his fingers and said, "If we calculate it at one hundred a month, if you want to save up 60,000, you will need to work for fifty years without eating or drinking. Hey, son, now that you put it that way, going to school is really not as good as setting up a stall." Lin Yi saw his eyes roll and guessed what he was planning, so he simply took the initiative and tempted him.
"Not going to school?" Yongqiang was stunned. Would he have to go without food and drink for fifty years to earn 60,000 yuan? Yeah, going to school is not as good as setting up a stall? This, this, this... makes sense.
"Is it really possible not to go to school?" he asked hesitantly, feeling that something was not right.
"It's all fine. It's up to you. You're already old enough. Whether you want to go to school or do business is up to you." Lin Yi said frankly. He didn't want to be a stumbling block in anyone's life.
Yongqiang hesitated a little: "Let me think about it."
At night, Yongqiang tossed and turned with the five thousand yuan as his pillow, unable to fall asleep. As a poor boy who suddenly became rich and needed to make a choice about his future, he suffered from insomnia.
Cai Genbao was not much better than him, but he was not as conflicted as Yongqiang. He was more excited and kept rehearsing in his mind: how to set up this business without the leadership of his brother-in-law.
What styles should I buy? What price should I set? Should I hire someone? Would it be appropriate to ask a comrade for help?
Why don't he just not go back home tomorrow? Losing even one day is a huge loss.
It can be said that: the clever are busy, the wise are worried, but the incompetent have nothing to ask for. They eat vegetables all day long and travel around, floating like an untied boat.
Just like Lin Yi, he had no dreams all night and slept soundly until dawn.
The next morning, when Lin Yi woke up and opened his eyes, he saw Cai Genbao had moved a chair from somewhere and was sitting beside his bed, staring at him eagerly. Lin Yi rubbed his eyes and wondered, "Is this kid okay?"
Before he could speak, Cai Genbao said, "Brother-in-law, I've been thinking about it for half the night. Can I not go back with you today? Business can't be delayed. We lose a lot of money in one day."
Lin Yi sat up, looked at Cai Mi, then looked at Cai Mi Qiang, who was also staring at them from the bed next to him. "Yong Qiang, your uncle isn't going back. What about you? Have you made up your mind?"
Yongqiang looked at me with a pair of panda eyes: "Dad, I've made up my mind."
Yongqiang took out a small stack of money from under the pillow: "Dad, this is one thousand yuan, please keep it for me."
Yongqiang stood up and handed over the money. Lin Yi gestured for him to put it on the bedside table: "And then?"
"I've been thinking about it all night, and I still have to go to school." After saying this, he saw his father nodded noncommittally, and then he continued, "But there's still a month before school starts. I've thought about it, and there's nothing wrong with going back. I want to work for another month, and I'll definitely go back before school starts."
Lin Yi nodded after hearing this, and then pouted: "What does this thousand yuan mean?"
"I'll leave this thousand dollars with you first. I know that doing business is somewhat risky. If, and I mean if, I don't make any money and even lose money, I still have this thousand dollars as a guarantee. It's enough for my sister and I to graduate from college."
"What if we make money?" Lin Yi nodded in his heart. This kid is good. He is willing to work hard and take risks. He also has the psychological ability to bear risks. With this mentality, there is no need to worry too much about what he does in the future.
Yongqiang chuckled and said, "If I make a profit, I'll give you this thousand yuan as a filial gift. I won't ask you for it."
"Okay, then Dad will keep it for you first." The two men didn't want to go back with him, and Lin Yi didn't force them. He just felt a little regretful: the one who carried the bag ran away, and he had to do the hard labor.
Sure enough, Cai Genbao took out a big bag and said, "Brother-in-law, these are clothes I bought for my family. Please take them back with you."
Before he finished speaking, Yongqiang also took out a large sack: "Dad, here's mine. I bought several sets of clothes for my sister and my mom, and also for my grandparents, my brother, Xiaotao, and Xiaoping. You can take them back too."
......
"Alright, leave it there. You two can take care of each other, so I have nothing to worry about. When you go out, be careful, don't show off your wealth, and keep a low profile. Also—" Lin Yi pointed at Yongqiang, "You must be home before the end of August."
Yongqiang nodded vigorously: "Yes, don't worry."
Cai Genbao also said in a flattering tone, "Brother-in-law, let's take you to the bus station first, and then catch the train."
Lin Yi: "We are going in two different directions, there is no need to go through so much trouble. I will find a rickshaw in a moment and it will only cost a few dollars to take me there. You can do whatever you want." After saying that, he stretched, got up, washed up, and prepared to go home.
Before parting, Yongqiang called Lin Yi and said, "Dad, I think what you said yesterday was wrong."
"What's wrong?" Lin Yi raised his eyebrows.
"Salary is not static. I will definitely get a raise. According to the rate of salary increase in recent years, it will take me less than 50 years to save up 60,000 yuan." Yongqiang said seriously, "If I work hard, maybe 30 years will be enough."
