Chapter 29: The Cheerful Dad
To be honest, for my mother's generation, having a high school education was definitely considered an educated person, and staying at home all day doing accounts was not a good thing.
I don't know how my dad, who only had an elementary school education, managed to marry my mom.
If you have something to do, it would be best to open a Taobao store at home as a part-time job. At this point in time, it is the best time to open a Taobao store, and you can make money by selling any product.
If your Taobao store does well, you can definitely make money by finding a OEM manufacturer in the future.
In this era, it is not difficult to earn a few houses by following Ma Dada.
In this way, my dad would not have been cheated by his friends when he was looking for projects after the quarry closed, and he would not have traveled all the way to Hainan to become a dealer just to make money.
"Taobao store? What is that?"
Wang Jingyu, who often stays at home, spends most of his time watching TV dramas besides doing accounting and growing vegetables, and knows nothing about the Internet.
"Mom, let me tell you."
When Zhou Anan was explaining the knowledge about Taobao stores to her mother, her father had been standing quietly behind her without her noticing.
"dad."
After taking a breath, Zhou Anan, who was eating watermelon, turned around and saw his father and called out to him.
Things like Taobao are easy to say and even easier to open, so he decided to let his mother open one herself.
"Well, Jingyu, I think the Taobao store Xiaoan mentioned can be done."
After nodding to his son, Zhou Youliang began to speak to his wife.
My son is going to college, so it’s good for the family to have more income sources. Besides, it’s boring for my wife to stay at home all day.
"Okay, then An An, help mom get an account, and I'll go to the Internet cafe to check it out when the time comes."
Seeing that her son and husband were so encouraged, Wang Jingyu was also very interested and decided to open this Taobao store.
"Why go to an Internet cafe? Since you want to open a store, just buy a computer and do it at home. An An is in college now, so it's not a big deal if there's no computer at home."
Zhou Youliang expressed his full support for his wife's career.
Zhou Youliang didn't buy his son a computer because he was afraid that his son would be distracted by the college entrance examination.
Now that my son is in college, it is only right for me to spend a few thousand dollars to buy him a computer as a reward, killing two birds with one stone.
Of course, the most important thing is that buying a computer for my son to play with and buying a computer for business now are completely different concepts.
With an investment of several thousand dollars, is there any business that saves more money than this?
"My husband is really nice. Come, have a piece of watermelon."
Unexpectedly, her husband’s support was so strong that Wang Jingyu handed him a piece of watermelon with a smile on her face.
Zhou Anan didn't feel much about her father's short-lived enthusiasm, it was just that the family bought a computer half a semester earlier.
It seems that in 2009 in her previous life, my mother also ran a Taobao store for a while. Unfortunately, there were only one or two orders every day, and my father, who found it troublesome to deliver the goods, looked down on her, and the store eventually came to nothing.
Nowadays, Taobao stores are opened earlier, and those that can quickly "accumulate" reputation are frantically raiding buyers' wallets, and the prospects for making money are definitely different.
"Oh, son, I've discussed it with your mother, and we're going to set up a few tables for you to celebrate at the Lingfeng Hotel near the old train station. The time is set for tomorrow night."
Thinking of calling his son back, Zhou Youliang informed his son in an affirmative tone.
The admission letter had already been received, and the matter was done. Zhou Youliang had completely given up the idea of letting his son repeat the year.
Although my son is studying in a second-tier university, he is still an undergraduate student after all, so it is common sense to treat him to a meal to celebrate.
I have worked so hard to train you for so many years, just for this opportunity.
"OK."
Zhou Anan had no opinion on his father's decision. His opinion was not really an opinion anyway.
However, the barbecue stall may have to close for one night, and the loss is at least one thousand yuan, which makes me feel a little sad.
After chatting for a few minutes, Zhou Anan rode her father's motorcycle to Digital City.
Zhou Anan spent six thousand dollars to buy a Lenovo brand computer with 1024M memory. She spent more than an hour teaching her mother simple computer operations and finally caught the 10:30 bus to the city.
As for getting the goods, of course that has to be left to my mother herself.
If he has to do everything himself, what will he do when he goes to college?
"Jian Rongrong, get ready to work. I'll be back soon."
Zhou Anan had just transferred to bus No. 1 when she received an order for today's lunch on her mobile phone. She hurried back to work without stopping.
On the evening of August 2nd, the breeze was cool and it was a good day for a barbecue.
Zhou Anan, wearing an Adidas short-sleeved shirt, accompanied her father to greet guests at the entrance of Lingfeng Hotel, with a smile on her face almost fixed.
All the aunts and uncles, who we didn't have much contact with on weekdays, came to eat and drink today. Of course, Zhou Anan received quite a few red envelopes, except for the ones from her eldest and second uncles who were closer to her, which were a bit generous, but the others didn't have much.
Compared to his previous life, Zhou Anan felt that his appearance was definitely much more handsome.
In her previous life, when she was in college, Zhou Anan's taste was almost within her mother's range, she wore classic clothes from the mall, which were very unique. Now she is wearing casual Adidas clothes, which makes her look like a teenager and full of vitality.
Just looking at the infatuated look of her dad’s friend’s daughter, Zhou Anan felt less sad about spending hundreds of dollars to buy last year’s Adidas. It was really worth it.
Unlike our parents, they just think something is good and have no idea of the value of the brand. They are superficial.
"The teacher is here."
"Hello, teacher."
A middle-aged man with graying hair came over, and Zhou Anan and her father hurried over to greet this high school teacher who had been her homeroom teacher for three years.
"An An, it's a pity. But I still want to congratulate you. College is the first step in life."
Pan Fusheng still feels it is a pity for this student who had to go to a second-tier university because of his mistakes in comprehensive science.
"Thank you, teacher."
Zhou Anan felt very emotional when she met her class teacher again after many years.
His most profound memory of Ah Fu was the light that flashed from time to time on the small glass window at the door of his classroom during his senior year of high school.
Many years later, at a class reunion, I happened to hear that he had contracted pneumonia after retirement, and I didn't have the chance to see him, so I was reborn.
Zhou Anan, who works in the tutoring industry and works part-time as a teacher, understands the teacher's mentality very well. She has fewer complaints about him and is only left with respect.
Ah Fu suffers from many illnesses in his old age, all of which were caused by the anger he suffered from students when he was young.
At 6:30 in the evening, most people had arrived, the hot dishes were served one by one, and the familiar banquet mode began.
However, as the protagonist, Zhou Anan had to toast at each table and listen helplessly to the congratulations from the elders. It was such a sour experience that people simply didn't want to experience it a second time.
