Du Chen spent the whole afternoon teaching Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao some basic photography knowledge. In the afternoon, Du Chen continued to go to school while Ding Miaomiao and Du Bin studied the camera under him.
"Du Bin, how come your brother knows so many things? How come he doesn't know anything?"
"If you want to praise him, just praise him. Why drag me into this?"
Du Bin said he didn't want to bother with Ding Miaomiao. Although it was not the first time he had encountered such a situation, Du Bin still felt helpless.
"No, I'm just curious. How can two brothers with the same parents be so different?"
Seeing Du Bin unhappy, Ding Miaomiao was happy, so she continued to provoke Du Bin.
Du Bin turned around and continued to study the camera in his hand, indicating that he didn't want to bother with Ding Miaomiao.
"Oh, so stingy, are you angry?"
Ding Miaomiao poked Du Bin with her finger and asked happily.
"No, don't bother me while I'm working on the camera!"
"Hey. Don't study it on your own, I want to try it too!"
…
During dinner in the evening, Comrade Lao Du mentioned the arrangements for the store.
"Xiao Li, little sister, we have to move to the city after the summer vacation. Has your eldest sister told you?"
"Well, brother-in-law, my eldest sister has already said it. What's the matter? Is there anything else?"
Ren Suping asked Comrade Lao Du curiously.
"Well, after we move to the city, we won't have the time or energy to take care of the store. Do you think you'd like to take over and run it yourself?"
"Sister, brother-in-law, no need. Just take care of yourselves and let Xiaoping take care of the store! No need to contract it to us!"
Before Ren Suping could say anything, Xiao Li spoke first. He knew Comrade Lao Du's good intentions, but he also knew how to be grateful. He had made a lot of money following Comrade Lao Du in the past two years, and he didn't want to be called an ungrateful person, even though it was Comrade Lao Du who brought it up first.
Ren Suping immediately understood what her husband meant and quickly rejected Comrade Lao Du's kindness.
"Little sister, listen to me, I really can't take care of everything here, so just take over!"
"Big sister, no need, I can take care of it for you! I don't have the confidence to do it myself. Besides, you and your husband have helped us so much, I can't continue to take advantage of you!"
By the way, Du Chen's second aunt's family is also making a living in this residential area now. They opened a small restaurant in Ren Suping's shop at Du Chen's suggestion, selling breakfast in the morning and supper to students who take extra classes in the evening. The business is very good.
As for how the interests between the second aunt and the fourth aunt should be distributed, Du Chen had never inquired about it. He made this suggestion because he was afraid that the shop bought by the fourth aunt would be idle and lose money, and the other reason was to help the second aunt's family.
Comrade Lao Du and Du Chen's mother were about to speak when Xiao Li spoke first.
"Sister, brother-in-law, there's really no need for that. You've already helped us so much! If you keep saying things like that, Xiaoping and I will have no choice but to go back to the village. I'm too embarrassed to stay here!"
Du Chen's fourth uncle spoke in a firm tone, and it seemed that he was determined not to take over the store.
Du Chen's mother looked at Comrade Lao Du with some embarrassment. What was originally a good thing had now come to a standstill.
"How about this, Xiao Li, I won't mention it if you guys take over this, and we'll split the profits 50-50!"
When Du Chen's mother heard this, she smiled happily. This was a good idea.
"Brother-in-law..."
Xiao Li wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Comrade Lao Du with a wave of his hand.
"Xiao Li, listen to me! This is settled! And if you ever want to take over the store in the future, just let me know!"
Xiao Li and Ren Suping hesitated for a while, but seeing that Comrade Lao Du and Ren Surong were unwilling to give in, they had no choice but to agree.
"Sister, what about the cram school? Does it need to be sold as well?"
Ren Suping asked her sister curiously.
"That's impossible! Why would I sell off what I worked so hard for?"
"What will you do if you go to the city? Will you leave it to Miaomiao's mother? But they are also moving, and they are neighbors with you."
"Xiao Jia can't do that either. Xiao Jia's focus in the future will be on Miao Miao. After all, the three years of high school will pass by in a flash, and we can't let the child's studies be delayed. I'm thinking of letting Teacher Zhu help me keep an eye on the school. Xiao Jia and I will go to the school to take a look, whoever has time."
Du Chen's mother expressed her thoughts.
"Lao Du, please ask Lao Ding and Xiao Jia to come over for dinner soon. We can also discuss the school. We need to arrange everything before we move!"
"Mom and Dad, I see the high school entrance exam results are out, why don't our two families get together!"
Du Chen spoke before he even finished his meal. He didn't know if others had confidence in Du Bin, but Du Chen was quite confident. After a year of tutoring and Du Bin's own hard work, he didn't believe Du Bin would look down on No. 1 Municipal Middle School. Furthermore, Du Bin was known for his willingness to play, and his performance improved in crucial moments.
"Okay, by the way, Boss, I haven't had time to ask you how Miaomiao's score estimate went today."
Du Chen's mother's words made everyone except Du Chen and cousin Lin Lin put down their chopsticks. Everyone looked at Du Bin expectantly to see if Du Bin would bring everyone a surprise.
"Ding Miaomiao and I didn't estimate our scores! We've already applied for admission and taken the exams. It doesn't matter if we do well or not, so why bother estimating?"
Du Bin continued to eat the food on the table with a heartless look.
"What the boss said makes a lot of sense."
Comrade Lao Du laughed and said.
"That makes no sense! I think he's just lazy."
Du Chen's mother said to Comrade Lao Du, picked up her chopsticks and continued eating, indicating that she didn't want to pay any more attention to the father and son.
"Mom, what do you want to do when we move to the city? We can't just stay at home all day, right?"
Du Chen suddenly asked his mother.
"Oh, I'm worried too. I've been busy every day, and now I have some free time. I don't know what to do."
Ren Surong suddenly sighed. She had been busy every day for the past two years. She would not feel used to doing nothing after moving to the city.
"Second brother, do you have any ideas?"
"Dad, Mom, what do you say? Let's open an eyeglass store."
"An optical shop? Can an optical shop make money?"
Comrade Lao Du still doesn't understand the huge profits from glasses. In his previous life, Du Chen had a client whose family opened a glasses store, which was later turned into a chain store and opened an ophthalmology hospital.
"Mom and Dad, let's go out and have some fun during the summer vacation. Let's take a trip and explore the eyewear industry."
Du Chen didn't say how profitable the eyewear industry is. After all, it's better to let his parents see it with their own eyes so that they can understand what it means to make money.
When he heard about traveling, Du Bin's eyes lit up.
"Travel, okay, Dad, Mom, let's go out and play later!"
Du Bin shouted excitedly.
