Chapter 2: Doubling Your Income
What a crow's mouth.
Yesterday I just said that nonsense and it actually rained.
His family lives in Beixin'an Village, an urban village outside the Fifth Ring Road of Beijing and close to the Sixth Ring Road. The house has one bedroom and one living room with a small kitchen.
The rent is fifteen thousand per month.
The large courtyard with three entrances and exits would be a high-priced courtyard house within the Third Ring Road, but in this kind of urban village it would basically be a rental house for outsiders like them.
There are more than ten households living in this large courtyard, and many of them were introduced by him.
The rain was pouring down continuously. Song Yanxi got up early, washed up, and cooked a big pot of noodles with two steamed eggs.
Chen Anan is still in kindergarten, and now that it’s vacation time, she likes to stay in bed.
She was listlessly picked up by her mother by her little butt, with only half of her eyes open. If she blinked her eyelids without noticing, she would fall asleep again.
"Pingsheng, if you have nothing to do later, take An An out to play!"
Chen Anan, who was still half asleep, opened her eyes wider than anyone else's when she heard that they were going to play at KISS ME.
What a pity, he still has to go out to make money even if it rains.
"Let's see later. If I don't get any orders, I'll take her out to play."
After a simple breakfast, Chen Pingsheng rode his electric scooter, put on a raincoat and sent his wife to work.
She works as a customer service representative in an internet company during the day, and after get off work she goes to the street where there are more young people to sell flowers.
The monthly income is not bad, and it is obvious that the couple are working hard for this small family.
There were quite a few people in the capital city in the early morning.
Those who were running hurriedly in the rain were all workers similar to them.
Song Yanxi waved to him before turning around and going to work.
Chen Pingsheng went home first. He still remembered that there was a sudden "ding" sound in his mind last night.
According to the online novels I have read, this is definitely the golden finger that can change your destiny.
What could it be?
After arriving home, Chen Pingsheng couldn't wait to open the ripple in his mind, and a line of golden words appeared in front of him.
First, an introduction.
[Host: Chen Pingsheng]
Age: 30
[Level: LV1]
【Today's income: 0】
[Explanation: You can get one chance to win a multiplier lottery every day based on your income. Level 1 can get a multiplier reward of 2 to 10 times.]
Can it be used like this?
According to this golden finger explanation, if he earns 500 today and gets a chance to draw a multiplier lottery, and if he gets 10 times the amount, wouldn't it be 5,000 directly?
Tsk…excitement, incomparable excitement.
This golden finger is too powerful. If it is like this, he will definitely have a chance to make a fortune.
Chen Pingsheng rubbed his hands and kissed Chen Anan, who looked expectant.
The little girl still remembered what her mother said about taking her out to play, and she was looking forward to it.
Chen Pingsheng didn't have the mind to do that right now, but he still tried to comfort her.
"An An, Daddy is going out to make money now. When he makes enough money, I'll take you wherever you want to go, okay?"
Chen Anan was a little disappointed, but still nodded obediently.
Dad always said this, but he never took her there.
She really wants to go to all the places that other kids have visited.
Chen Pingsheng had no choice. She would be in the first grade next year. If he didn't find a house, no good school would be willing to accept a child from another place like her.
Education is closely tied to real estate.
If these outsiders can't buy a house, how can they hope to send their children to a good school?
Chen Anan is often alone at home. When she is hungry, she eats some snacks and she will even cook them herself.
He is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.
Chen Pingsheng locked the door and went next door to give a few instructions.
He knows every one of the ten or so households in this yard. It is raining heavily outside, so he definitely cannot go out to sell durian today.
Just see if I can get a moving order.
No one could say he was lucky. As soon as he walked out of the yard and under the old tree, he met a frail young girl holding a big black umbrella.
"Miss, have you just moved here?"
"yes."
This girl is so beautiful, but a little thin, and she has a very sweet smile.
Zhao Liying took the initiative to ask: "Brother, you live here too, do you know where to move?"
"Yes, I live over there."
Chen Pingsheng pointed to where he lived and then introduced: "I usually sell durian outside, and on rainy days I help people move. That tricycle is mine."
The tricycle he bought two years ago has been with him through wind and sun, and it is still very eye-catching.
When Zhao Liying heard that he was just moving, she was suddenly a little happy.
She just moved here. She used to live outside the Sixth Ring Road.
After chatting with her for a while, Chen Pingsheng found out that this girl was actually an actress.
I've never heard of his name before, which shows that he's not doing very well.
This is normal. If an actor is doing well, he would not move here.
Chen Pingsheng is not a man who likes to show off too much, and he always treats people sincerely.
The speech is also realistic.
"Hey girl, I didn't expect you to be an actor. You have to sign an autograph for me later. If you become a big star in the future, I can be proud of you."
Zhao Liying looks so sweet when she smiles. Her dream since childhood has been to become an actress.
Seeing her optimistic expression, Chen Pingsheng found it hard to imagine that she had been playing supporting roles for four years.
In other words, four years of hopelessness.
The future is uncertain.
As they chatted, they found that they had a lot in common. They were both down-and-out dream chasers in this big city.
But the business still had to be discussed. Zhao Liying lived too far away before, and it took more than four hours to go back and forth.
This is secondary. The key point is that she lives on the sixth floor and there is no elevator.
The furniture inside was purchased bit by bit by her over the years, representing her four years of youth in Beijing.
It also represents her four years of struggle in the entertainment industry.
He needed to move all of this down, so Chen Pingsheng gave him a preferential price of one thousand.
He can do the job alone which normally requires two people.
As long as he can make more money, Chen Pingsheng is least afraid of hardship.
It’s really hard not to make money.
"Brother Chen, why don't you find someone else to help?"
When they arrived at her house, Zhao Liying opened the door but was still worried that he couldn't move the things by himself, even with her.
After all, there are really a lot of things.
After finally getting a job that earns him a thousand yuan, how could Chen Pingsheng call for help again? Wouldn't that be just giving the money to others for no reason?
"It's okay, this is enough for me."
Chen Pingsheng took out a special moving rope, tied up the small sofa, and then walked down step by step carrying it.
If he meets someone in the middle, he has to move aside.
In such a cold day, sweating profusely is a novel experience.
It’s always tiring to make money.
Zhao Liying also did it herself, but she was a girl after all, and could not do heavy work. She only carried the lighter things herself.
I ran up and down seven or eight times.
Finally, everything in the room was moved down.
It was still raining heavily outside, and Chen Pingsheng covered the furniture tightly with a rain cloth.
Try to avoid getting caught in the rain.
He put on a raincoat again, and Zhao Liying also wore a black one. His tricycle was larger than usual, so it made a lot of noise when driving on the road.
The rest is fine.
The two of them rode in the front car and rumbled home together.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when he got home, and Chen Anan was still locked in his room.
When she heard someone opening the door, she ran over happily. She had made herself a bowl of noodles at noon, without much oil, and boiled an egg.
When she knew it was her dad who came back, she immediately turned off the TV, which was playing her favorite Teletubbies.
Then he quickly put out his homework book and waited behind the door with an eager look on his face.
"Xiaoying, this is my home. We are neighbors."
Coincidentally, the house Zhao Liying rented was the one next to his, which had been empty for almost three months.
It is also a one-bedroom apartment.
Chen Pingsheng brought her here just to get acquainted with her. After all, in the countryside, the relationship between neighbors is not as cold as in the city.
After living here for decades, I don’t even know my neighbors’ names.
This is simply unimaginable in rural areas.
After moving the furniture, Chen Pingsheng took her to introduce herself to the place, so that they could get to know each other formally.
"Brother, this is your child. So cute."
Chen Anan had a small ponytail and looked a bit chubby with a chubby face.
Who wouldn’t say it’s super cute after seeing this?
"Hello, Auntie."
Chen Anan has curved eyebrows and eyes. She is very good at greeting strangers and is not shy at all.
Of course, she wouldn't talk to strangers if her parents weren't around.
Zhao Liying fell in love with this cute little baby at first sight.
It’s not time to eat yet. Chen Pingsheng has been doing physical work all morning and is now very hungry.
I went to the kitchen and simply fried two dishes, then used the leftover rice that I had cooked in the morning to make some fragrant egg fried rice.
Life is simpler.
Since it was the first day they met, Zhao Liying naturally felt embarrassed to stay here for dinner.
She smiled and said, "Brother Chen, thank you so much today. You have Alipay, right? I'll send you a thousand yuan."
Of course this exists.
Chen Pingsheng took out the payment code and asked her to scan it.
With a "ding" sound, one thousand yuan arrived in the account.
【Today's income is one thousand yuan】
[Whether to start random multiplication lottery immediately]
A line of golden words appeared in my mind again.
Chen Pingsheng was excited and couldn't wait to see the effect of the golden finger.
"On"
Two golden dice appeared, with only numbers one to five on them, but not six.
Chen Pingsheng shouted "Stop".
The one on the left that appears is a three, and the one on the right is the smallest one, which adds up to four.
[Congratulations to the host, you have obtained a random quadruple rate increase]
[Your Alipay account has received 4,000 yuan, and the remaining balance is 4,500 yuan.]
Tsk... Chen Pingsheng was so excited that he almost jumped three meters high.
This golden finger is so powerful. With it, will buying a house or raising a child be a problem in the future?
