Chen Ran looked at the surprised Gao Qiang and the thoughtful Bai Lao, wondering why they were so surprised. As a newbie, he naturally didn't understand Master Miao's weird temper.
A bowl of chestnut rice was obviously not enough for Chen Ran, but now that he had pig's trotters, it was just right.
Although Gao Qiang described the deliciousness of pig's trotters to him. It is said that Master Miao was invited to the capital by the old man because of making these pig's trotters, but Chen Ran found that he still underestimated the taste of pig's trotters.
"Xiao Ran is lucky enough to be able to eat Master Miao's braised pig's trotters for the first time!"
Chen Ran just took a bite, and Gao Qiang also reacted and quickly grabbed the remaining one.
Chen Ran was still unsatisfied with this meal. Chen Ran felt that he would not be able to eat anything else for at least two days. After they finished eating, Bai Lao's tea was ready, so he invited the two of them over.
While talking, he drank tea.
We ate, drank tea, talked about antiques, and talked about life. Although it was less than one night of making money, Chen Ran experienced this kind of petty bourgeoisie life firsthand.
I have to say, this feels good.
But when checking out, Chen Ran experienced the sadness behind the glamour.
A pig's trotter costs 1,000 yuan, and a bowl of chestnut rice costs 500 yuan. It's still a fixed price, no bargaining!
Money, when it comes to spending it, you are really a bastard!
Chen Ran sighed softly.
…
After making money, the first thing Chen Ran thought of was not himself, but his parents!
After saying goodbye to Gao Qiang, Chen Ran went into the bank again and used an ATM to transfer 20,000 yuan from the remaining 35,000 yuan in his bank card to his home. It wasn't that Chen Ran didn't want to transfer more, but that
ATM transfers can only transfer so much. Another point is that if too much is transferred, Chen Ran is afraid that his parents will not be able to accept it.
Twenty thousand yuan doesn’t seem like much at first sight, and it’s just a drop in the bucket compared to what’s shown on TV or in books. However, in real life, it’s actually a lot of money, even a huge sum of money, and it can do a lot of things. Of course
, this is relative to ordinary people like Chen Ran.
After transferring the account, Chen Ran thought about how to explain to his parents. Frankly speaking was obviously not possible. Chen Ran knew that if his mother learned about what happened to him, let alone whether she would believe him, even if she believed in herself.
, the first thing that comes to mind is not the money earned, but running from home to take him to the hospital for a physical examination.
When Chen Ran thought about what to say, he found that it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Everyone at home went to bed early and must have gone to bed by this time. He planned to talk about it tomorrow.
Although he had not told his mother or that person personally that he had given so much money to his family, Chen Ran still breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had let out all the years of depression.
When he returned to his residence, Chen Ran found that several houses were moving. Only then did he remember that the old house he lived in was going to be rebuilt. Although he now had money and didn't have to worry about moving, tomorrow was the last day.
, if you want to find a suitable house, time is undoubtedly a bit tight.
Chen Ran did not delay, returned to the house, turned on the computer, and started searching on the Internet. He did not want to move too far away from the antique city, so he looked for nearby ones, but after making many phone calls, the other party said that the house
Already rented out.
In the end, Chen Ran settled on a good house, but the rent was a bit high, costing more than 800 yuan a month. For Chen Ran, who was used to living in a house with less than 200 yuan a month, this price was undoubtedly beyond his reach.
Be mentally prepared.
Although Chen Ran already has some money now, he has experienced many setbacks and knows how to save money in life.
This is not stinginess, this is life!
People who know how to live well understand the difficulties when they are short of money.
Money is indispensable at all times, because you may not need a lot of money at any time, and at that time, if you don’t have any money in hand, the result will be very miserable. As for counting on other people’s support or mercy, you will
You will find that suddenly you are the only one left in the world.
In fact, Chen Ran also knew that the rent price of this house was actually not high because it was a house in an apartment.
Putting this house aside for the time being, Chen Ran continued to search, and finally found another house. This house only had one house left, and the monthly rent was only more than 280 yuan. Chen Ran talked with both parties on the phone, and he decided
Let’s take a look at the house tomorrow.
After settling the matter, Chen Ran went to bed. However, he stayed up late last night and slept for a long time today. He just couldn't fall asleep while lying in bed. He kept thinking about what happened in the past two days and the weird thing in his mind.
Bronze, own special ability...
When Chen Ran got up the next day, it was already past nine in the morning. Although he went to bed early last night, he didn't fall asleep until midnight. After getting up, he remembered that he had sent money to his family yesterday and hadn't told his family yet, so Chen Ran hurriedly
Died the home phone number.
"Xiao Ran, why did you call me back today?" The call was answered by Chen Ran's mother, Li Yuzhi. In fact, Chen Ran knew this was the result without even listening.
Chen Ran was silent for a moment and then said: "Mom, I sent some money to my family. Go and check if you have received it?"
"Why are you giving money to your family again? Didn't I say that you won't be allowed to fight? You can't make much money there, and you have to pay for your brother's fight. Do you have enough money to spend?"
Li Yuzhi was cheerful at first, but when she heard Chen Ran's words, her voice became a little anxious. Chen Ran had reached the age of marriage, and she felt a little sorry for asking Chen Ran to send money to his brother. Now she still has to send money to her family.
money.
"Mom, I made a lot of money this time, so I'll pay you some. I still have enough in my hand, so you don't have to worry! I paid you 20,000, so go check it out."
After saying this, a smile appeared on Chen Ran's face unconsciously.
"Okay, from now on...what? How many did you say you hit?" Li Yuzhi originally wanted to persuade Chen Ran, but when she heard Chen Ran's words, she suddenly exclaimed.
Chen Ran did not answer because he heard that there was chaos on the other side of the phone. Chen Ran had already expected this result. At this moment, he really wanted to see the face of that person, his father.
.
The relationship between Chen Ran and his father has always been bad. They didn't talk to each other at home, and basically ignored each other. The relationship between the two was so bad, but it started from a very early age.
Chen Ran's father is called Chen Ping. Chen Ping was one of the first to get rich early in the 1990s. Although he was not a rich man, he was still very prestigious among his generation in his hometown.
When Chen Ran was born, Chen Ping was still working as a primary school teacher in his hometown in the countryside. At that time, primary school teachers basically had no salary. What they had was only a little, and it was still owed. The family was so poor that they couldn't even afford food. Many of them
At all times, we have to rely on people for help.
In fact, not only Chen Ran's family was like this, but most people in the countryside were like this at that time.
When people are forced to have no choice, they will always unleash their infinite potential, and Chen Ping is undoubtedly such a person.
When life became unbearable, Chen Ping resolutely quit his job as a primary school teacher and became a small businessman. He traveled to various villages every day, working as a small peddler, buying scorpions, working as a tea seller, etc...
…
Basically, Chen Ping did all the small businesses that small traders could do in that era. After a few years of struggling like this, Chen Ran's family slowly recovered and even became the number one merchant in the village.
A black and white TV set, the first motorcycle, and even moved from the countryside to the countryside.
Looking at it now, these seem so insignificant, but people who have experienced that era know how much courage these require.
After moving to the countryside, Chen Ran's family opened a wholesale department. At that time, there were only two such wholesale departments in the entire township. Soon after, Chen Ran's black and white TV was replaced by a color TV, which was also a rare commodity at the time.
, not many people on the street can afford color TV sets.
Chen Ping's reputation in his hometown is not small, especially in Chen Ran's hometown, he is well known to everyone.
However, from this time on, Chen Ran's family went downhill. When Chen Ping was purchasing goods, he was tricked and lost all his money at once, resulting in the wholesale department having no supply of goods.
In the end, the wholesale department was forced to close down, and then Chen Ping started a medicinal materials business. In the county where Chen Ran was located, there was a fairly large pharmaceutical company, and there were a lot of pharmaceutical businesses in the corresponding county.
In just two years, Chen Ping made the medicinal materials business flourish. Chen Ran's family also moved from the countryside to the county town, and even bought a house in the county town.
Compared with other medicinal material merchants, Chen Ran's family may not be very wealthy, but for people in the countryside, it is undoubtedly prosperous, although in fact, Chen Ran's family did not have much money left after buying the house.
Yes, it is incredible to come out of the countryside and take root in the city.
At that time, it was even a bit legendary.
Anyone who is in the medicinal material business knows that the prices of medicinal materials are unstable and change from time to time as the market changes. Correspondingly, there will be a situation where many medicinal material dealers have inventory, that is, they keep a certain amount of medicine in the warehouse.
Bulk goods and then sell them when the price rises. The bigger the quantity, the more money you will make, but of course, the greater the risk.
Seeing many people depositing goods and then making a huge profit, Chen Ping was very moved. He collected money from relatives and friends and deposited a batch of goods.
This batch of goods has been stored for half a year, but they were not sold due to price issues. At this time, a major event happened in China, which was the SARS that made everyone feel self-conscious. Among Chen Pingcun's medicinal materials, isatis root
Accounting for a large part, one can imagine the shortage of isatis root at that time.
However, just when Chen Ping was overjoyed, an accident happened, which suddenly pulled him from heaven to hell.
