Chapter 277 Second Spring
Gu Youhui only stayed at home for dinner before leaving. After the two children woke up, they found that Lin Shu and Gu Jiu had returned, and they hugged them and refused to let go.
Gu Jiu had to go to the company in the afternoon, but Erbao wanted him to hold him and refused to get out of bed, so he had no choice but to carry Erbao to the company.
During the more than one month that Lin Shu and his family were away, the elderly couple Lin Dashan and Liu Xiao'e had no time to rest while taking care of their two children every day.
Now the couple came back, and the children were clinging to them again. It was a rare day off for the old couple, so after dinner they went downstairs to chat with the old man and woman.
Lin Shu carried Dabao back to the bedroom and read with him.
Lin Shu looked at the martial arts novel in his hand and said, "You are still a child, don't stare at the book all the time, or you will become nearsighted again."
In his previous life, Dabao was nearsighted, with a degree of more than 600. Now he has a chance to start over again. His eyesight has finally improved, but if he doesn’t protect it well, he will have to wear glasses again in the future.
A little kid was reading a martial arts novel, and outsiders were shocked when they saw it.
Dabao looked up from his book like a little adult and sighed, "There's not much entertainment these days. If I don't read, what do you want me to do every day? I don't have a computer or a cell phone. I can't really play in the mud with those little kids every day, can I?"
A two-year-old child can’t run or walk fast, so it’s unrealistic to ask him to do anything. It’s better for him to stay at home and read a book.
Only in front of Lin Shu does Dabao dare to relax.
It's tiring to pretend to be a child in front of other people every day.
"I didn't say you can't read, I'm just worried that your eyesight will be affected." Lin Shu felt a little guilty. Dabao has a child's body and an adult's soul, so some of the requirements are indeed difficult for him.
"Then tell me, what else do you want to do besides reading?"
After hearing her words, Dabao really thought about it seriously. He realized that it was difficult for him to move around easily as he was small, and it was a bit difficult for him to do practical things.
But there are some simple things that can be done. "When you and dad have time, you can apply for a passport. Then find a chance to take me to the other side of the ocean. I have heard about the stock market there before, and I know a few hot stocks at this time. We can use this prophecy to go to the other side of the ocean and make some pocket money."
After Lin Shujing was reminded by him, he remembered that the villa where Dabao came with him had internet access. If he was not sure, he could just look it up online. It would not be difficult to go to the stock market there to earn some pocket money.
"This is a promising thing. I'll ask your father when he comes back tonight. I just don't know what the requirements are for applying for a passport now?"
Dabao hummed softly and lowered his head again. Soon his attention was attracted by the content of the novel.
Lin Shu stared at the martial arts novel in Dabao's hand and asked, "Dabao, did you get the novel from the villa?"
Dabao glanced at the cover of the novel and nodded: "Yes, any questions?"
Lin Shu raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment and said, "This novel is from several decades later. Have you ever thought about being a plagiarist?"
Dabao raised his little hand, looking helpless: "There are no computers for typing in this era. With my little hands, I can't copy a novel of more than one million words even if I'm tired of copying."
Lin Shu asked tentatively: "How about I help you copy it?"
She thought Dabao would be more than happy about this.
But Dabao shook his head and said, "How much money can you make from copying books and publishing them? You might as well go to the other side of the ocean and buy some stocks. You know, that's compound interest. In less than a month, you can make more than what you earn from copying books for a year. Besides, I don't care about these false names."
Wouldn’t it be nice to go out and earn US dollars?
Lin Shu: ...
Well, it seems that Dabao is obsessed with going to the other side of the strait to trade stocks.
"You are so obsessed with stock trading. Did you make money from stock trading in your previous life?" Lin Shu didn't understand stock trading before, and was very curious about whether Dabao made any money from stock trading in his previous life.
"......" Dabao scratched his forehead guiltily, "Ahem, Mom, have you heard of this? Everyone in our stock market knows this sentence?"
Lin Shu cooperated and asked, "What?"
Dabao's voice became quieter. "People who enter the stock market, except for the first day they want to make money, they always think about how to get their money back in the future."
"......" Lin Shu was confused. What did this mean?
Is that what she meant?
"You mean, you've been losing money in your previous life?"
Dabao nodded, feeling so regretful.
I have been trading for a lifetime and have lost money for a lifetime.
Fortunately, in his previous life, he had his own career and did not rely on it for a living, otherwise, the whole family, young and old, would have starved to death.
Lin Shu couldn't understand, "Since you've been losing money, why are you still rushing in?"
The time and energy invested are not proportional. Why not do something else with that time and energy? Why go in and give money to others?
Even if you change the money into coins and throw them into the water, you can still hear a sound.
"It's exciting. The ups and downs of the K-line, don't you think it's exciting? Besides, all men have a desire to win." Dabao glanced at Lin Shu, "Besides, the people who can survive in this industry have very strong psychological endurance. People with weak mental endurance can't survive even if they want to."
People with weak hearts may end up having to take quick-acting heart-saving pills if they are not careful.
That's risking your life.
Fortunately, he has been cooking for decades and has never taken any quick-acting heart-saving pills.
Lin Shu blinked. Is this how men seek excitement?
No, I heard that anyone can enter the stock market regardless of gender.
Now, Lin Shu became interested: "Dabao, how do you do this? Teach me. When we get to the other side of the ocean, I'll go get some pocket money too."
Dabao stroked his forehead and said, "Mom, I haven't seen the passport yet."
It’s a bit too early to mention that.
Thinking about the previous life, there were many old men and old ladies in the stock market. Dabao did not object to Lin Shu going in. Some of the old men and old ladies, because of their experience in the stock market, were more energetic than ordinary people, and their thinking was faster than that of old people who did nothing.
"Also, you and my dad only earned more than 20,000 yuan this time. Isn't that a bit too little?"
There are a lot of medicinal herbs in the northwest, right? Haven’t you found anyone to buy them?
Lin Shu was not convinced by this and wanted to have a good argument with him: "Son, you are talking without any pain in your waist. Do you know how many years it would take for an ordinary family in reality to save up 20,000 yuan?"
An average worker earns 40 yuan a month, and a family of two earns 80 yuan. After deducting living expenses, half of it is saved every month, which leaves only 480 yuan a year.
A family that saves 480,000 yuan a year is considered a family with low expenses and high income. Even such a family would need to save for 41 years to save 20,000 yuan.
Of course, with rising prices and depreciation of banknotes, the purchasing power of 20,000 yuan in the future will not be comparable to that of now.
Dabao was relieved to see that Lin Shu was no longer obsessed with stock trading. "With the harvesting function of the system, you can harvest as many herbs as you want on the mountain. It's still very fast to earn points. I think you're not using the right method."
After hearing this, Lin Shu suddenly felt that his son was not so cute after all.
She didn't want to talk about harvesting herbs, so she changed the subject: "I heard about Lin Mei on the phone, what's going on?"
As soon as he got home, he was surrounded by the two children and had to entertain Gu Youhui, so Lin Shu didn't have time to ask about Lin Mei's situation.
"She and my second grandmother arrived a few days ago and wanted to live in our house, but my grandmother didn't agree, so she moved in with my eldest uncle. When she had nothing to do during the day, she liked to stay in my eldest uncle's noodle shop. I listened to my grandmother and grandfather chatting. It seemed that she and an old customer of the noodle shop got along very well, and the relationship between the two seemed a little unusual."
"Unusual?" Lin Shu remembered what Liu Xiao'e told her on the phone, that her good second aunt wanted Lin Mei to find a partner in the provincial capital so that she could marry there.
"Could it be that she has fallen in love with that old customer and wants to get married again?"
Dabao nodded seriously: "Eighty percent of it is true."
......
Lin's Noodle House main store.
Lin Wei looked at Lin Mei, who was drinking with the customers, with a headache, and said to Li Xiu, who was sitting next to him: "Second Aunt, how can a woman like Meizi drink with a man other than her? Why don't you persuade her to pay attention to her image?"
It seemed as if his noodle shop offered a service called drinking companionship.
Li Xiu did not answer his question, but smiled and said: "Didn't you tell me yesterday that this man has no wife, no children, and is a worker in the chopstick factory. He is just a little older, and Mei Zi is not picky about this."
"Second Aunt, this will have a bad impact." Lin Wei had a headache. Fortunately, there were not many customers in the store at this time, otherwise the impact would be really bad.
"What's wrong with an unmarried man and an unmarried woman?" Li Xiu gently tapped Lin Wei and whispered, "You've been out there for a few years, but why are you so stubborn? You're stubborn and don't know how to adapt. Since this man is your old customer, you know him well. If your sister Meizi can marry him, and you can support each other, won't you all be living a happy life?"
"Also, we are not living here for free during this period of time. I help out in the store every day, but I don't ask for your wages. You have two laborers for free, so just be happy. As for Mei Zi's matter, don't worry about it."
He Caiyun's face was so gloomy after hearing this, "Second Aunt, you can't say that. It's true that he is our old customer, but we only know his situation on the surface. We can only know the face of a person but not his heart. Who knows if he is a good person or not?
If Mei Zi and her get together and live a good life, that would be great. But if they don't live a happy life, will you blame us? After all, if you hadn't come to the store, you wouldn't have known him."
Li Xiu didn't take it seriously, she smiled and waved her hands: "Don't blame me, don't blame me, whether Mei Zi and him are together or not is her own choice, how can I blame you guys."
She is speaking nicely now, but if she is unhappy in the future, she won't look like that.
But it is impossible for Lin Wei and He Caiyun to influence Mei Zi's thoughts.
As the old saying goes, it’s going to rain and my mother is going to get married, so outsiders like them shouldn’t interfere too much.
He Caiyun looked at Lin Mei who was chatting and laughing with the customers, frowned slightly, and hid her worry.
The man who was chatting and laughing with Lin Mei was called Zhang Yong, an employee of a nearby chopstick factory. He was thirty years old this year. In the past, due to the heavy burden on his family and his parents' poor health, the money he spent on the hospital every year was a huge sum of money.
Therefore, Zhang Yong's lifelong event was delayed.
Later, his parents passed away, leaving Zhang Yong alone.
As a bachelor, if one person is full, the whole family will not be hungry. Zhang Yong basically does not cook at home, and eats out for three meals a day or eats in the cafeteria.
All the salary I earn every month is spent on food and clothing, basically all of it is gone.
In Lin Wei's opinion, a man who doesn't plan to save money is not a capable man to lead a family.
But Lin Mei and Li Xiu don't think so. They feel that having a job in the provincial capital and a stable job is beyond their reach and he is a perfect candidate for son-in-law.
Of course, it’s hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words.
What's more, Lin Wei didn't dare to give a definite opinion on whether Zhang Yong was suitable for marriage and living a life.
There are some men who are lazy before marriage, but start to take care of the family after marriage.
All I can say is that the probability of this happening is very small.
Lin Wei knew about Zhang Yong's situation because he often visited the noodle shop and learned about him from chatting with him. He also heard some information about him from other customers.
Zhang Yong stuffed a peanut into his mouth, turned his head and glanced at the people sitting behind the counter, then joked, "Your mother and your brother are always keeping an eye on us. Are they afraid that I will eat you, a beautiful lady?"
Zhang Yong often says that he is beautiful, but Lin Mei just likes to hear these sweet words.
Lin Mei narrowed her eyes and smiled, "You are the only customer in the store now. Who else can they look at if not you?"
Zhang Yong nodded indifferently, then laughed again: "Today is the weekend, I heard that the People's Cinema has a new movie called Shanghai Bund, I got two tickets, do you want to go to the movies with me?"
When Lin Mei heard this, she was so happy that she almost agreed.
However, thinking that a woman should not easily agree to a man's invitation, she hesitated for a moment, "I do want to, but... if I come back too late at night, my mom and brother will be worried. I don't think they will agree to let me go."
"We'll come back early after we finish watching the movie. If you talk to them nicely, they should agree. After all, it's not easy to come to the provincial capital, so shouldn't we go watch a movie?"
Zhang Yong was anxious. He had already bought the movie tickets in advance, and it would be a waste if he didn't go.
Lin Mei was amused, and looked like she wanted to go but was in a dilemma: "If I insist on going, my mother and brother will definitely go with me."
How can that work!
Zhang Yong bought the tickets but didn't want anyone to be a light bulb beside him. "Then you should tell them nicely. I promise to send you home safely after the movie."
He is already in his thirties and he finally meets a woman who doesn't care about his family's poverty. He doesn't want to let her go.
If you spend some time together, you might just be able to win the heart of the beauty.
If this really works, he will be a man with a wife to warm his bed this winter.
You no longer have to envy your colleagues who rush home after get off work.
Lin Mei hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly agreed: "Then I'll go ask and try to convince them. But you have to keep your word and send me home after the movie."
Zhang Yong clinked his glasses with Lin Mei's and drank the wine in one gulp. "A real man should keep his word and keep his promise."
After Zhang Tong finished drinking, paid the bill and left, Lin Mei and Li Xiu talked about going to the movies in the evening. Li Xiu, as a mother, didn't say anything.
Lin Wei next to him was anxious and reminded: "It's not safe to go out with a man at night, right?"
"What's unsafe about everyone knowing each other well?" Li Xiu was delighted to learn that her daughter was dating Zhang Yong and didn't think much about it.
After Lin Mei went to the toilet, Lin Wei had to remind her again: "Second Aunt, don't trust others easily outside. Have you forgotten that Mei Zi was kidnapped last time?"
Li Xiu's heart skipped a beat, and she frowned and asked, "That's impossible? Didn't you say that Zhang Yong is an employee of the chopstick factory? He has a company and a job, so why are you afraid that he will harm Mei Zi?"
