"Cough...cough..." Qi Qi deliberately coughed twice, then put his hands on his hips, pretending to be awesome, lowered his head and said to Sisi who was sitting on the chair and half shorter than him, "I just did the math,
The car fare for the two of us, as well as the cost of my football uniforms and sneakers, your costumes and props, plus the money to buy water, it adds up to 7788, at least 8900, which is a lot of money for a middle school student.
It’s not a decimal, and it’s extracurricular activity funds, so we shouldn’t spend any more money from our parents, so... starting from tomorrow, you, go work with me!"
"Working?" Sisi was very surprised.
"Why, you don't want to?" Qi Qi frowned.
Sisi quickly clarified, "No, no, no, I do!"
She is so willing! If she can work and be self-reliant, she won’t waste her parents’ money! Why didn’t she think of this before? How stupid!
Seeing Sisi's happy look, Shi Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then she felt unhappy. This stinky girl would always make trouble for him. They were still underage, how could anyone be willing to hire child labor?
As the saying goes, a penny beats a hero!
This is indeed true!
After Shiqi and Sisi made a plan to work, they began to rack their brains to think of ways to make money. However, they were young and did not even have ID cards. If they went out to work, no one would dare to hire them, including washing dishes in restaurants!
But how did they know that it was not that the bosses did not dare to hire child labor secretly, but that they were the only ones who did not dare to hire them. Although these two children were young, they had good temperaments and who knew their family backgrounds. If they offended the powerful,
That’s awesome! So, don’t be greedy for petty gains!
During the lunch break, the two of them gathered in the cafeteria again to discuss the plan.
Because of the previous "love letter scandal", Shiqi had not appeared in the cafeteria with Sisi for a long time, so now she "reappeared yesterday" and attracted everyone's attention.
It's just that the two of them were worrying about "survival" and had no time to pay attention.
Sisi held her chopsticks and lost all her appetite. She sighed and asked, "Seventeen, what should we do? It's been two days and we have made no progress at all!"
Seventeen was also at a loss. He had never thought about money before. When he needed it, he would reach out to his mother for it. But now he had to face reality, and he suddenly realized that the problem was serious. What he had lived before was completely
The days of parasites are so depraved!
From now on, he must be self-reliant!
As a man, how can he gain a foothold in society and support his family in the future if he cannot even be financially independent?
However, given his current age and ability, it is really difficult to make money!
The people on the seats next to them all finished their meals and gradually left. The aunt in the cafeteria came over to clean up the table. Empty mineral water bottles and cans were all collected, obviously to be saved and sold.
Sisi saw it and had an idea, and suggested, "Seventeen, how about we go too..."
Shi Qi glanced sideways, his handsome face suddenly distorted. It's not that he looked down on rag pickers. There was no noble or low profession. He made money through his own labor. There was nothing to be ashamed of. But the discarded bottles only cost a few cents each. He had to save up.
In which year and month?
"When we save enough money, the competition will end early, and maybe we both graduate!" he said, throwing cold water on it.
I thought about it, but there is no other way now!
"At least give it a try, it's a little bit!" She was still looking forward to it.
Seventeen rolled his eyes unceremoniously, he has no ambition!
Sisi couldn't help but retort, "There is a huge gap between ideals and reality. Don't aim too high. It's better to be down-to-earth!"
"Then you can't pick up rags? Do you think you are a little girl selling matches? A girl selling small matches is more or less the same! With your brains, even if you are sold, you are still counting money for others!" Seventeen
He scolded her angrily.
Sisi's head was full of black lines and she stopped talking.
Seventeen racked his brains, how did Bill Gates make his fortune? How did Buffett rise? How did Li Ka-shing become the richest man in Hong Kong?
After thinking for a long time, I finally came to the conclusion - rely on your brain!
Therefore, it's not enough for them to just rely on physical strength to make money, especially now that they don't have much physical strength, so they have to rely on brainpower!
"Okay, leave this matter to me, don't think nonsense!" Seventeen said with great responsibility, and at the end, he warned, "Stop that idiotic idea you just had!"
Sisi could only nod obediently, not daring to think of picking up bottles again, although she thought it was a good idea.
After finishing their meal, the two of them left the cafeteria together and went back to their classrooms.
Because they were in different grades and the classrooms were in different directions, the two of them walked to a fork in the road and were about to go their separate ways. Suddenly they heard several students passing by complaining, "Hey, I have to make up for classes after school. My dad gave me a new class."
The tutor I found is a student this time, a senior from high school..."
Student tutor?
Shiqi and Sisi looked at each other at the same time, which was a good idea!
Sisi's grades have always been excellent, ranking first in her grade. If she was willing to give extra lessons to her classmates, there would definitely be a lot of people lining up, so she said confidently, "Seventeen, don't worry, leave this matter to me.
Got it!"
Shiqi suddenly felt despised, but having said that, his past results can be said to be terrible. Even if he advertised, no one would probably ask him to make up lessons, but...how would you know if you don't try?
So, he remained silent.
After breaking up with Sisi, Shi Qi returned to his classroom, wrote a bunch of small notes and distributed them.
——Lou Chengxi’s after-school tutoring, complete tutoring in mathematics, physics and chemistry! The exam is guaranteed, but refunds are required! The number of places is limited, so make an appointment as soon as possible! There are discounts for the first ten, so you’ll regret not coming! See you at the playground at five o’clock!
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Shi Qi's class instantly became noisy. Then the news spread like wildfire, and soon the entire grade, and even the whole school, knew about it!
Of course, this is all behind the backs of the teachers.
At the same time, Sisi also posted a small advertisement, but the advertisement was much more subtle. She only said that she wanted to tutor her classmates. If necessary, please contact her. The location was also chosen at the playground, and the price was negotiable.
A few hours later, it was time for school to end. As soon as the bell rang, the students all ran to the playground like crazy.
