Chapter 51 Missed the chance to become rich and handsome
Xu Ran's family is just an ordinary family. There is no such thing as a down-and-out young master. His parents are countrymen and live in Qingshan Town, which is dozens of kilometers away from Jianghai City.
Both my parents were just ordinary people working in factories.
Working harder than an ox every month for a meager income, the only hope of his parents was for Xu Ran to go to college and feel proud.
However, Xu Ran himself failed to live up to expectations and dropped out of school after only high school and found a job delivering express delivery in Jianghai City.
Xu Ran has always felt sorry for his parents and failed to live up to their expectations for his son to become a dragon. The reason why Xu Ran urgently wanted to come back from Heaven and Slay the Dragon is because his parents still exist in reality.
Originally, Xu Ran felt that since he had been in Yitian Slaying the Dragon for more than two years, more than two years must have passed in the real world. If his parents lost contact with him for more than two years, they would definitely think that he was dead, sad and grieved.
Fortunately, I have been in Yitian Slaying Dragon for more than two years, and only a little more than two days have passed in the real world.
"mom"
Xu Ran couldn't wait to press the answer button, tried hard to control his emotions, and called out.
For his parents, it might be just a few days since they called him, but for Xu Ran, it was more than two years since he heard his parents' voices.
"Xiaobao" came from the other end of the phone with a vicissitudes of female voice, and then complained: "What, you are too busy at work, you don't even have time to call home, right?"
"No," Xu Ran said.
"Xiaobao, there's something wrong with your tone." The voice on the other end of the phone said slightly doubtfully: "Is your work not going well? Don't worry, take your time."
"I..." Xu Ran hesitated.
"Why, have you encountered something difficult?" The voice on the other end of the phone became urgent: "When you encounter difficulties, just tell your mother. If you need money urgently, your father and I still have some savings, and we would have saved them for you.
It’s for my wife, if you have any emergency and need money, I’ll call you right away.”
After a pause, the other end of the phone said in a complaining voice: 'You are not young anymore. Don't spend money lavishly. You have to use it sparingly. I am still waiting for you to marry and have children in the future, and to have grandchildren.'
As he talked, the other end of the phone sighed again: "I don't know when I will be able to hold my grandson. Several aunts next door to you have grandsons, but I don't."
There was a hint of envy in his words.
"I, I have a girlfriend." Xu Ran looked back at the bathroom where the door was still closed, and said out of nowhere.
"Talk, talk about a girlfriend, is it true or not?" The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became happy, and then he laughed and cursed: "I knew it was like this. Your monthly salary should be enough for expenses, and you can even save."
At some point, it's not enough now, so I must talk about a girlfriend. After all, the expenses of one person are not as much as the expenses of two people, so it's normal if it's not enough.'
Xu Ran twitched the corners of his mouth but said nothing.
"Mom, I have enough money, so don't give me any more money," Xu Ran said after a moment of silence.
"It's really not necessary. Don't save face and suffer the consequences. Don't be stingy and let my daughter-in-law run away." There was a suspicious voice on the other end of the phone, and then he warned: "After I finish my farm work, I will take the time to come to Jianghai City for a visit.
If I don’t see my daughter-in-law by then, please wait for me.”
Xu Ran: ".........."
"Okay, no more chatting. Your dad is coming back. I'm going to cook." After Xu's mother finished speaking, she hung up the phone.
Why!
Xu Ran hung up the phone in confusion, feeling deeply in his heart that in this world, the only people in this world who are kind to him from the bottom of his heart are his parents.
Thinking of her overworked parents, who were still working at such an old age and who did not have a happy life, Xu Ran felt useless and the tip of her nose felt sore.
"Wait, something's wrong." Xu Ran suddenly realized something.
"Damn it, all my martial arts skills have been wasted. In ancient times, I should have robbed houses and gotten some gold to sell. At the worst, I should have gotten some jewelry." Xu Ranangtian sighed.
In ancient times, there were so many local tycoons and wealthy businessmen. Gold, silver, and silver notes were the common currency. Although there was no need for silver notes, you should get some gold back.
A piece of gold can easily cost tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.
At this moment, Xu Ran was really regretful. Why didn't he think of this in ancient times? If he had thought of it, he could just find a rich man and rob him.
It wouldn't be bad to get some gold and sell it back.
Xu Ran, who was in ancient times at that time, really didn't expect that much. With his martial arts, he could make a living anywhere. Besides, there was really no expense in ancient times.
But the real world is different.
Money is needed everywhere. For example, a house in Jianghai City, which is usually about a hundred square meters, costs at least 700,000 to 800,000 yuan, which is something that Xu Ran could not afford in his whole life.
In the real world, having high martial arts skills seems to be of little use.
Being a bodyguard is obviously an underachievement.
I can't rob the rich and give to the poor like in ancient times. After all, this is a world full of technology, and there are cameras everywhere. In case I am seen climbing over the walls.
He might even be caught and used as a guinea pig.
If God could give Xu Ran a chance to come back, Xu Ran would definitely find a huge snakeskin bag and grab a bag full of gold and silver.
You may be promoted from a loser to a rich and handsome person in an instant.
Thinking of this, Xu Ran's eyes lit up. He seemed to have the ability to travel between planes. If he could, he wouldn't have to worry about money.
Thinking of this, Xu Ran felt a little excited.
Bah!
The door to the bathroom opened, and Zhao Min walked out. She was still wearing the same ancient clothes as before, but her hair was wet and steaming, and her face was pretty and crimson.
I have to say that Zhao Min was very attractive at this moment, but Xu Ran was only dazed for a while, and his eyes returned to normal.
"You're done washing, right? I'll take you out to buy clothes." Xu Ran stood up, looked at Zhao Min and said with a smile.
"Yeah" the latter responded softly.
So, Xu Ran took Zhao Min out. Because the latter was wearing ancient clothes and was pretty, many people turned around to look at him.
Xu Ran took Zhao Min around the mall and came to a women's clothing store. The clerk matched Zhao Min with two sets of beautiful clothes, which cost more than two thousand.
Later, I went to a lingerie store and sold two sets of underwear, which cost nearly 2,000.
Finally, I bought some daily necessities, which totaled up to seven or eight thousand.
Xu Ran worked in Jianghai City for three years and only saved 20,000 to 30,000 yuan in savings. He lost a quarter of it all at once. How will he survive in the future?
This made Xu Ran feel that he did not seize the opportunity to become a rich and handsome man in ancient times, and he was so depressed that he vomited blood.
