Following the successful submission of his first essay, Du Chen wrote two more, one of which was a topic assigned to his mother, "My Dear Mother."
The other was a casually written essay, a primary school composition, with no special requirements. It was relatively simple, as long as the main content was clearly stated, the wording and sentences were elegant, and some writing techniques like parallelism and personification were used.
Du Chen decided to continue writing essays for a while, and he was going to create some fairy tales to submit.
For example, the series of works created by Yang Hongying, a children's literature writer he liked very much in his previous life, are humorous and positive, and he likes Yang's works very much.
So for now, he also hopes to be able to create some fairy tales. First of all, the royalties will definitely be much higher than essays and the like. Secondly, it can improve his writing ability. It is always good to have many skills. No matter what job Du Chen does in the future, writing will be of profound help to him.
So Du Chen thought that he would practice more through writing essays, and when he was almost ready, he would start writing real fairy tales. His vision was more than 20 years ahead of people today, which would definitely make his fairy tales more vivid and interesting. At the very least, he could write fantasy stories. After all, his experience was the future of people today.
Recently, Du Bin has changed a lot from his usual self. He no longer wanders around after school and is no longer lazy about studying. He studies late every day, staying awake when Du Chen goes to bed and already at school when Du Chen wakes up.
Du Chen and his brother were both sleeping in the small room. Du Chen sometimes secretly observed Du Bin and found that Du Bin was really studying seriously, unlike before when he sometimes secretly read martial arts novels or sometimes just sat there in a daze.
Du Chen's parents were very happy to see their eldest son become hardworking and motivated. Du Chen also secretly sighed in his heart that his brother had easily been admitted to high school without working hard, so if he worked hard, what would his upper limit be?
After school at noon that day, Du Chen walked out of the school gate with the crowd. When he was about to go to the stationery store opposite the school gate to buy some pencils, he found that there was a tricycle parked in front of the stationery store opposite, and someone was constantly moving things from the house to the tricycle.
Du Chen suddenly thought of things from his previous life, and in order to confirm it, Du Chen walked over.
"Auntie, give me two pencils, the kind that cost ten cents each." Du Chen said to a middle-aged woman who was moving things.
"Go away, get out of the way. Can't you see we're moving things?" the woman said impatiently.
"You're not doing it anymore anyway, so just sell it while someone else is buying it," said the man next to the woman.
"I don't know where I put so many things. How do you want me to find them? Can I make money from a pencil worth two cents? If you don't mind the trouble, come and look for it!" The middle-aged woman turned around and yelled at the man.
"Then what are you going to do with all these remaining stationery?" the man said helplessly.
"Return those that haven't been demolished. There won't be much left after that. Leave them for the children. Don't just stand there. Move your things quickly. You're standing there like a dead person. Hurry up!" the middle-aged woman yelled again.
"Classmate, we don't want to do this anymore. You should go look somewhere else." The man ignored the woman and turned to explain to Du Chen.
"Okay uncle, I'll buy it somewhere else then." Du Chen said to the man, waved at him and walked away with a group of students.
In fact, when Du Chen saw them moving things, he guessed that the stationery store might have closed down, so he went over to confirm.
It had been so long that Du Chen couldn't remember what the owner of the stationery store at the school gate looked like, nor could he remember when it closed down.
But Du Chen remembered that the male owner of the stationery store also worked in the railway and had a son who was two years younger than Du Chen. The child was very difficult to get along with, just like his mother. He had seen the child bullying his classmates several times at school, and it was obvious that he was not a good person.
As for the lady boss, she is very fierce and fierce, and her service attitude is very bad. Every time I go to buy something, it feels like I owe her 2.58 million yuan. Moreover, the quality of the things she sells is very poor. Take the exercise books for example, the paper quality is poor and the books are thin for the same price. She is a pure profiteer.
Later, fewer and fewer students went to the stationery store to buy things, and it went bankrupt in less than two years.
From what I've seen today, it's the middle-aged couple from earlier. Logically speaking, it's unlikely that a prime business across from the school gate would go bankrupt. However, judging by the owner's behavior and attitude, it's likely that nothing she does will work out.
After they quit their business, a young couple rented the store. They provided good service and were honest people. Du Chen later moved to the city and didn't know what was happening there. He heard from his childhood friends that they had made a fortune.
Now that Du Chen has encountered them, he can only apologize to the young couple. What is he waiting for if he doesn't seize such a good opportunity?
Even if he couldn't make a fortune, he would definitely not lose money, so Du Chen planned to think carefully about how to talk to his parents in the afternoon, and then confront them during family dinner in the evening and persuade them to buy the store opposite the school gate.
Du Chen decided that the first knife to cut the leeks would be his classmates.
After school in the afternoon, Du Chen finished his homework obediently and started typing again. He had already sent out the two essays before, and now he was waiting for a reply.
At 7:30 in the evening, Du Bin and his father came home together, and the family prepared to eat dinner. Du Chen didn't say anything. Although this matter was more important to him at the moment, it didn't matter if he had to spend some time eating.
After having a good meal and a drink, Du Bin immediately returned to the cabin to study. His father was very pleased to see how hard Du Bin had been working to improve himself recently, while his mother cleared the dishes and prepared to go to the kitchen to wash them.
