Lu Mo nodded. "Mine."
When he was in high school, he thought about earning his own money. His mother, Lin Shufang, had a limited monthly salary. Although his grandfather provided subsidies, it was only enough to ensure that they had enough to eat and wear, and they could not afford to buy property.
But Lu Mo's biggest wish is to have a house that belongs to him and his mother.
Grandpa was really good to him, but because of this kindness, the second wife was dissatisfied. The whole family moved to Grandpa's place and freeloaded. Grandpa tolerated it because he was considerate of him and his mother.
But Lu Mo knew that the old man's monthly pension was basically spent and used to supplement the family income.
As he got older, life would be very difficult without money. Lu Mo's desire to buy a house became even stronger, so he used his weekends and evenings to wholesale small commodities and sell them in the countryside.
Before and after the Lunar New Year, they would send out God of Wealth offerings. Especially in the days before the New Year, as long as you were willing to work hard, you could earn one or two hundred yuan in a few days by sending out God of Wealth offerings for one cent each. As their capital gradually increased, Lu Mo and his classmate He Weishao started doing business together.
He used his savings of several years, totaling five thousand yuan, plus He Weishao's own three thousand yuan, to start a materials company. In reality, it was just a business of buying and selling goods between the north and south, with profits split 50/50. The company operated for three years, and each year it earned more than the last.
He bought the house at the beginning of the year; He Weishao helped him find it, and it cost him most of his savings.
Lu Mo originally planned to move in with his mother in the fall, but he had an accident, so the plan had to be put on hold for the time being. However, he could let Ye Qingqing come and take a look first, so that the girl wouldn't have to worry about money all the time.
Ye Qingqing and Tie Dan looked at each other, swallowing hard. Such a big house!
"This house is just like the one in the movie, it's really beautiful," Tie Dan exclaimed.
This was the first time he had ever known that the battalion commander was so rich. Tie Dan secretly touched the wad of cash left in his pocket, the remaining hundred yuan that Lu Mo had given him that morning.
I bought Xiaotong an ice cream cone for one yuan, and he ate a mung bean one for himself for one jiao, so I have ninety-eight yuan and nine jiao left.
Hmm... With the battalion commander being so rich, can he occasionally buy an ice cream cone to eat in the future?
Xiaotong ate half of the ice cream cone; it was delicious.
It was the best food he had ever eaten in his life.
"Lu Mo, did you find gold?" Ye Qingqing really couldn't understand where this guy got the money.
"Kids, don't ask too many questions. You'll be doing experiments here from now on."
Lu Mo wouldn't tell her the truth; he just wanted to keep the girl in suspense and make her eager to know more.
Ye Qingqing gritted her teeth in anger, her palms itching. She pinched Lu Mo's back hard, but his back was as hard as granite. She didn't pinch his flesh, but her fingertips hurt.
"Are you born in the year of the stone?!"
Ye Qingqing looked at her fingers with heartache; her thumb nail, which she had worked so hard to grow, had almost broken.
Lu Mo's lips curled up slightly, his usual cold face melting away like ice and snow, like spring returning to the earth, though he himself couldn't see it.
Tie Dan chuckled secretly, while the battalion commander grinned like a fox that had stolen a chicken. He clearly liked his sister-in-law, but the battalion commander was being hypocritical and dishonest.
The house was very clean, but empty, with nothing inside. Some of the doors and windows were broken, indicating that many people had lived here before and did not cherish the house.
Lu Mo gave the key to Ye Qingqing, so she could come over to do experiments anytime.
"If you don't have enough money, ask me for more. But you're not allowed to go back to the mountain!"
Ye Qingqing's eyes darted around, and she leaned closer to ask in a low voice, "How do you make money? Teach me!"
"Your main task now is to study!"
Lu Mo would never tell her that this girl dropped more than ten places in the final exams last semester. The most important thing right now is to study. Why is she thinking about all sorts of things all day long?
Ye Qingqing made a face at his back and muttered under her breath, "He's even more nosy than my dad, humph!"
