You have to go back to your registered residence location to apply for a travel permit, and even if you do, you can't get it immediately; you have to wait a month or two.
The brothers He Wenhua and He Wenjun decided to go back in December to make the arrangements, and then go to Taiwan with a travel agency at the beginning of next year.
Now, one works a regular job, and the other runs a pancake stall.
He Wenhua went to sell pancakes near the city square, while He Dashun and Tang Ping continued to sell fried noodles and hot and sour noodles at the same old place.
When He Wenhua first started setting up his stall, he didn't dare to prepare too much, since it was something new.
However, he overlooked the foot traffic in the city square; he set up his stall at 10:30 a.m. and closed it at 3:30 p.m.
It wasn't even dinner time yet, and it was a long holiday, so there were a lot of people shopping.
The next day, he prepared 30% more ingredients than the previous day, and as a result, they were sold out again before 5 p.m.!
Gradually, people working here all know that his jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe) costs two yuan each and is very large; one can fill up a child or a girl.
After He Wenlin returned to school, He Wenhua called her and told her that he could sell nearly 500 yuan worth of jianbing guozi (Chinese crepes) a day. He no longer needed to work four times a day, morning, noon, night, and evening, as he used to.
He sells breakfast for a while in the morning, then closes up around 8:30 to prepare for the afternoon. Around noon, he sets up his stall again and sells until 7 pm before going home to rest. Sometimes, if he's lucky, he can close up shop as early as 6:30 pm.
With 500 yuan a day, the profit is at least 350 yuan, making it easy to earn over 10,000 yuan a month.
He Wenhua was also planning to go to Taiwan to learn how to make hand-pulled pancakes after the New Year, so he dared not spend a single penny of his money recklessly.
Of course, with business so good, he only told his father and Mrs. He Wenlin; he didn't say a word to anyone else. Don't ask; the answer is always the same: barely making ends meet.
...
Before we knew it, it was December.
He Wenlin has finally turned eighteen!
She had to go to class on her birthday, so her whole family came to Shanghai to celebrate with her on the weekend.
Her other friends and brothers all called her, preparing red envelopes or gifts for her father to bring over.
Once she turned 18, He Wenlin immediately went to register for a driver's license test.
She was an experienced driver and didn't need a car. She signed up, slipped 500 yuan to the instructor, and asked him to arrange her test immediately.
Since they don't have to teach and even receive red envelopes (cash gifts), what could the coach possibly complain about? They arranged it immediately.
He Wenlin got her driver's license in January.
It took her less than a month from registration to receiving her certificate.
After getting her driver's license, He Wenlin immediately took out a loan and bought a Mercedes-Benz.
How could Mr. He, a man with a net worth of tens of millions, not have a car?
Now that she has a car, He Wenlin basically doesn't live in the school dormitory anymore.
And the school is about to have its winter break.
"Linlin, winter vacation has started. Are you going back to your hometown?" Fu Rong asked. "Let's buy tickets together."
Having lived in the dormitory for a semester, no one knew about He Wenlin's family situation, but they guessed that her family was relatively well-off, which could be seen from their daily lives.
“No, I’m not going back to my hometown, I’m going back to Shaoxing,” He Wenlin said. “My whole family is in Shaoxing.”
"Don't your parents work in Shanghai? When did they go to Shaoxing?"
“They work in Shaoxing and only come to see me occasionally,” He Wenlin said.
"Didn't you say you rented a place here? Did you rent it yourself?"
He Wenlin nodded: "Yes, I rented it myself."
"You have so much pocket money," Fu Rong said with a hint of envy. "You can even rent a place."
"Rongrong, do you want to make money?" He Wenlin suddenly asked. "I know someone who wants to find a tutor for his child. You're a math major, so middle school math and physics must be a piece of cake for you. Do you want to give it a try?"
"Can I really do it?"
"I can ask."
"Okay, then you can ask for me."
He Wenlin immediately called the manager of the Duoduoduo Tuoshan store to ask if he still needed to hire a tutor, and recommended Fu Rong to him.
After hanging up the phone, He Wenlin said to Fu Rong, "He still needs to hire a tutor, but if you're going to do it, you can't go back so early. You'll probably have to work here until the 20th."
If I go back on the 20th, it won't affect her, as it's Lunar New Year's Eve on the 24th.
"It's okay, the 20th it is."
"This is his phone number, you two talk it out yourselves." He Wenlin handed her a phone number.
"Linlin, thank you."
"Don't mention it. But whether it works out or not depends on you."
"Linlin, do you have any tutoring jobs? Introduce me to them," Zhang Mengqi said.
"Okay, I'll introduce you to it next time."
There are four people in the dormitory. Fu Rong is in the worst situation. Her parents are farmers, and besides her, there are two other children in her family who are still in school, so the financial burden is very heavy.
Chen Xinyi is a local with a well-off family. Zhang Mengqi is from Yangzhou. Her parents run a small shop. They are not very rich, but they are doing alright.
"Linlin, our class monitor asked me to bring you these flowers." Roommate Chen Xinyi came in carrying a bouquet of roses, a gossipy smile on her face.
“Our class monitor is quite handsome,” Zhang Mengqi said with a gossipy look on her face.
Being handsome doesn't put food on the table.
He Wenlin has no interest in that kind of thing at all. However, it's true that she might take a second look at a handsome guy, but that's about it.
The cute puppies and fierce men on TV are very appealing, but in reality, He Wenlin feels that she prefers mature, steady, and abstinent older men.
"Throw away the flowers, see you all next year." He Wenlin said as she went downstairs with her bag on her back.
Just as they reached the school gate, they ran into Duan Hongrui, the "class monitor" Chen Xinyi had mentioned, and his roommate.
"He Wenlin".
"Duan, classmate."
"Have you eaten?" Duan Hongrui asked. "I'll treat you."
His classmates chimed in, "Hey, say yes!"
He Wenlin smiled and said, "Duan, thank you for your kind offer, but I already have an appointment."
He Wenlin originally wanted to say directly that there was no chance between the two of them, but saying it in front of the roommate would be too hurtful to her self-esteem.
"What about tomorrow?"
"I have plans for tomorrow too."
"the day after tomorrow……"
"Duan, study hard." He Wenlin said before getting into the car.
When Duan Hongrui and his roommates saw He Wenlin get into the driver's seat, their eyes widened in disbelief!
Duan Hongrui comes from a well-off family and is a local, but when he saw He Wenlin driving a Mercedes-Benz, he was speechless.
"Is her family that rich? She's only eighteen and already owns a Mercedes?" Duan Hongrui's roommate said incredulously. "I've heard that many college students with a bit of good looks get 'kept women'..."
Another roommate said, "Don't talk nonsense. I don't think she's that kind of person. Maybe her family is rich?"
"But I heard her dad is a chef and her mom is a manager. What kind of manager and chef could afford to buy their daughter such a luxury car?"
Duan Hongrui remained silent...
