Chapter 46 Like a Lottery
"Will Dad find it annoying?"
Thinking of his father's suppression of his mother's enthusiasm for opening a Taobao store in his previous life, Zhou Anan's mouth curled up slightly, and he obviously knew the answer.
In her previous life, my mother opened a Taobao store in 2009, but she had missed the rapid development period and only had two or three orders a day. My father disliked her and the business closed within two months.
"Heh, he was a little annoyed a few days ago, but now our Taobao store can make more than 200 yuan a day. How dare he be annoyed?"
Today, the Taobao store makes a daily profit of more than 200 yuan, and Wang Jingyu is very proud of it.
At present, according to the new document issued above, the life of my family's quarry can only last until around 2009 when it was previously bid. It has been required to be closed after the deadline.
This Taobao store has only been open for a few days and has seen such good business. Wang Jingyu feels that it can become a new source of income for the family.
Of course, she had no idea that her son had just transferred a business that made thousands of dollars in daily profit, otherwise she would have been criticized and called a prodigal son in minutes.
"Yo, that's not bad."
Although she had expected it, Zhou Anan still felt comfortable when she heard her father's reaction.
Many years in her previous life, due to conflicts in concepts, Zhou Anan, who did not like the civil service system, had to fight with wits and courage before she achieved the final victory. During this time, she experienced the stubbornness of her father, which was simply not something that ordinary people could contend with.
When the two chatted daily, basically whoever spoke something that the other person didn't like would start to argue directly, and the tone became increasingly aggressive, and it almost turned into a quarrel.
Afterwards, they parted on bad terms.
After calming down, Zhou Anan could understand her father's painstaking efforts, but she was still unable to chat with him in a calm manner.
The truth is, my dad's tone is so offensive that nice words become sarcasm in his mouth.
My mother always said that the father and son were just like bullfighting.
“Ding ding ding”
“Business is coming again.”
Hearing the prompt sound coming from the computer speakers, Wang Jingyu left his son who was chatting, ran to the computer, and skillfully typed a line of words "Dear, what do you need?"
"Mom, I want to go to school early in a few days and find a part-time tutoring job to earn some living expenses."
While her mother was chatting with the buyer, Zhou Anan leaned against the door of the computer room and said something as if casually.
"oh."
After quickly finalizing an order, Wang Jingyu recalled what his son said and asked in surprise, "Tutor? You're going to school so early, isn't registration until the 15th of next month?"
"I saw an advertisement for a part-time job on the school forum. It was run by a senior from our school, so I called and asked. It happened to be very close to our school, so I applied for the job."
After searching the Haizhou College forum on the computer, Zhou Anan clicked on the advertisement she posted and gave her mother a brief introduction.
As for the contact person and number left below, it was a new number that Zhou Anan registered after arriving in Haizhou, and her parents had no idea about it.
Just in case, Zhou Anan closed the webpage when her mother couldn't see the contact information clearly.
Cultured people do things in a direct way.
"You're going there so early, so I'll have to prepare your blanket and other things for you."
Wang Jingyu, who had previous experience, was not too worried about his son's independence. Although he felt a little distressed, he could only silently support his son.
I didn’t see how tiring it was to run a barbecue stall, but my son persisted and gained so much weight and darker color in just one summer.
"Mom, no need. I've asked around. The school will give out new quilts."
Zhou Anan, who had experience in her previous life, naturally knew the registration process, but she didn't want to bring so many repetitive things with her.
"Is that so? Then I'll sort out your clothes first. You'll be gone for several months. By the way, when your dad goes to ship the goods, I'll take you to buy a cell phone."
When Wang Jingyu thought about his son going to study so far away, he felt a little flustered for some reason.
From childhood to adulthood, her son has never left her side for so long.
"Mom, you forgot, I already bought a cell phone myself."
Zhou Anan shook the Nokia in his hand and admitted that he had bought the phone with his summer salary and continued with a smile: "Besides, I won't be away for long this time. We will be on vacation on October 1st, and I will definitely be back then."
"Oh, you see, I was so busy that I forgot. You have a holiday on October 1st, so it will take more than a month for you to come back."
Now, for Wang Jingyu, it is very worrying that his son goes to such a far place alone.
"Mom, just pack some summer clothes."
“I know.”
Half an hour later, Zhou Anan looked at the large box of clothes and her mother's tendency to keep squeezing clothes into it, and rubbed her forehead helplessly.
To be honest, Zhou Anan was planning to put aside the clothes his mother bought for him and buy himself a few sets of Adidas, Nike and Anta clothes.
After all, if you want to do well in college, you have to dress with some taste.
"Let your mother go with you."
When Zhou Youliang came back from the quarry and heard his son's idea of working as a part-time tutor, he did not object but made some arrangements.
"Dad, I'm old enough to go by myself. Besides, our school hasn't started registration yet, and I'll go there to find my senior. It's too immature to let mom send me there. People will laugh at me. Besides, if mom is not at home for a day, the Taobao store may lose a lot of business."
Facing this stubborn old father, Zhou Anan had already prepared his words.
Fighting for the right to autonomy with my parents is always like winning the lottery. If you are not careful, you might not win.
"A little loss is a little loss. This is your first time going so far, so I feel more at ease letting mom take you there. As for that person making fun of you, there's nothing to laugh at. Didn't they all go through the same thing?"
Regarding this, Zhou Youliang said there was no room for bargaining.
Although he often says that his son is not good at this and that, he cares about his son's safety more than anyone else.
After working as a part-time worker during the summer vacation for more than a month, Zhou Youliang began to face up to his son's growth and decided that it was time for him to be more independent.
"Dad, I've been there myself. There's nothing to worry about."
Knowing her father's character a long time ago, Zhou Anan took out her trump card, the round-trip tickets to Lucheng yesterday.
The date of the return ticket was normal, and as for the outbound ticket, Zhou Anan bought it from the ticket seller for one dollar.
Everything is under control.
"Have you been there yourself?"
After taking the ticket, Zhou Youliang looked at it and asked in surprise.
Zhou Youliang could understand his son working at a barbecue stall as a summer intern, but he had never thought of going to such a far place as Lucheng alone. He still felt a little scared when he thought about it now.
"Let me see."
After hearing his son's explanation, Wang Jingyu took the ticket and looked at it in disbelief.
"That senior rented a house and left a room for me. It had quilts and bedding and everything. I only stayed there for a few days before school started, and he didn't charge me rent."
In order to make his parents believe, Zhou Anan tried his best to make things as perfect as possible to avoid his mother going with him.
It’s not that he didn’t let his mother send him off, but Zhou Anan had an experience like this in his previous life. In order to save on rent, his mother stayed up all night in his dormitory. It was heartbreaking to see.
Although Zhou Anan would not let this kind of thing happen again in this life, once her mother passed away, Zhou Anan would not be able to dissuade her frugal mother by nature. It was a persistence engraved in her bones.
Living her life over again, Zhou Anan definitely doesn't want to let her mother suffer again.
What's more, Zhou Anan's method of covering up the lie may not be perfect.
If you accidentally get caught, that would be a disaster.
