When he returned home this time, Comrade Xu originally wanted to take his mother and sister to his new home in the county, and the whole family would move there completely.
But his mother Ge Xiaozhu disagreed.
She couldn't bear to part with her family's livestock or crops. She insisted on waiting until September, when her daughter also went to high school, for the whole family to move there.
Therefore, Comrade Xu went home this time just to visit them.
Buy them some food, clothes, and leave some living expenses.
By the way, let me ask my sister Ge Yuzhu how she feels about taking the high school entrance exam this time.
"Yuzhu, how many points do you think you can get in this test?"
The results of the high school entrance examination have not been released yet.
"Four, four hundred will be divided..."
Ge Yuzhu reported a range with a guilty conscience. Because of her shame, she did not dare to look up at her eldest brother Xu Tongdao. She could not help but feel guilty. Last year, her second brother Xu Tonglu scored more than 600 points in the exam and entered the county No. 1 Middle School. The year before last, she had
The eldest brother Xu Tongdao scored 594, which was close to 600 points. He was firmly above the admission limit of the county No. 2 Middle School, but he did not go to it.
Now it was her turn, and she could only estimate about four hundred points.
In her opinion, she was simply a disgrace to their family.
But she thought she had tried her best. This was a problem of ability, which made her feel inferior.
Fortunately, Comrade Xu didn't scold her. He just smiled slightly and raised his hand to pat her shoulder, "It's okay. Life is very long. If you don't do well in the exam this time, big brother can still let you go to high school. Work hard in high school! If
If you still don't do well in the college entrance examination, my eldest brother may not be able to help you go to college even if he has money."
Ge Yuzhu raised her eyes and looked at him weakly, and said: "Brother, how about I stop going to high school? I, I'm not confident that I can go to college. I'm willing to go to work. Otherwise
Shall I go do some work for you? Any job will do!"
She knew that her eldest brother had hired a lot of people here in the past two years, and there would definitely be a position for her.
but……
In her hopeful eyes, Xu Tongdao smiled ruthlessly and shook his head, "No! You must at least finish high school! If you can't get into the undergraduate degree, you can get into the junior college. If you can't get into the junior college..."
Just when Ge Yuzhu thought her elder brother would say: If you can't get into a junior college, then you should get into a technical school.
Xu Tongdao: "Then don't come back! I'm not as stupid a sister as you!"
"Ah? Big brother?"
Ge Yuzhu was shocked.
Comrade Xu glanced at her sideways, "You don't even have confidence in junior college? I heard that as long as you get a score of about 200 points in the college entrance examination, you can go to junior college. You don't have confidence in getting a score of about 200 points in the college entrance examination? Then you have the nerve to come back to see me? To see mom?
See your second brother?"
"Really? Just two hundred points will be enough? Brother, are you lying to me?"
Ge Yuzhu was pleasantly surprised.
But Comrade Xu sighed, resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and curled his lips, "You good-for-nothing!"
Ge Yuzhu was not stimulated, but was just a little embarrassed, "Brother, I am not you and the second brother. I just can't study. If you insist on me studying, I have no confidence at all in that undergraduate program. I can pass at most one
It’s a junior college!”
She seemed quite unambitious.
But Comrade Xu knew that she had always been like this. From childhood to adulthood, she had always been so worthless and unambitious. If you asked her to do something, such as washing clothes, cooking, or digging wild vegetables in the fields to feed the pigs, she would
They all agreed wholeheartedly, were highly motivated, and had a great time doing the work.
But if you ask her to read a book and do exercises, she will frown. If you ask her to get a certain score in the exam, it will be even more difficult for her.
She seems to be really not born to study.
Sometimes, Comrade Xu was quite disappointed with her.
Sometimes, I feel that this is nothing. Everyone’s ten fingers are still long or short. How can the abilities of several brothers and sisters be similar?
You can blame a person for his attitude towards life and work.
But there really is an upper limit to a person's ability. It's a bit unreasonable to accuse others of their abilities.
What's more, after his rebirth, he has enough ability to make money. Even if his sister has no great future in this life, he can still support her. As his elder brother, he can be her support.
However, even though he thought so in his heart, he still hoped that she could work harder and make progress.
"High school hasn't started yet, don't give up hope so early, like this! I'll find some tutors for you later. I'll give you tutoring in whichever class you're not good at, and I'll try my best to improve your grades!"
After Comrade Xu finished speaking, Ge Yuzhu made a bitter face and said weakly: "Brother, I, I can't do any of my subjects."
If her skin color hadn't been dark enough, her face would have been completely red by now.
Embarrassed.
Tongdao Xu was helpless when he met such a sister.
But he still kept smiling, "It's okay, then I'll make up all the classes for you! Brother is rich now."
Anyway, it will be the tutors who will have a headache at that time.
He did not say this out loud.
Therefore, Ge Yuzhu was very moved, "Brother..."
…
When Xu Tongdao returned to Shuiniao City, he mainly focused on hot pot restaurants.
The first thing we have to face now is the decoration of the hot pot restaurant.
This time for the renovation of the hot pot restaurant, he did not look for his eldest cousin Wu Changxing.
It's not that he doesn't want to give Wu Changxing another chance to make money, but that he knows that Wu Changxing's abilities are limited and it's okay to help him decorate the Internet cafes. After all, the decoration of the 8 Internet cafes under his name is very rough. If the decoration effect is also graded
, if the decoration of a five-star hotel is rated at Level 10, then the decoration that Wu Changxing made for his Internet cafe would be rated as Level 1 at most.
On the market, the decoration effect of most hot pot restaurants must reach at least Level 3 or Level 4.
Where is Wu Changxing?
He was an ordinary mason before, but Comrade Xu gave him a chance, and Wu Changxing had the opportunity to build a grass-stage decoration team.
Moreover, this grass-roots team just hired a few plumbers, carpenters, and painters whom he was familiar with.
Wu Changxing can build such a grassroots team.
Other masons can also build it, and even people from any other profession can build such a grass platform team.
There is no technical content.
And this time the decoration of the hot pot restaurant...
For a store where the annual rent is as high as 250,000 yuan, Comrade Xu certainly wants to make it a little more classy.
Even if it is not better than other hot pot restaurants nearby in terms of decoration, at least it cannot be much worse than others' decoration.
Before returning to Shazhou temporarily, he gave his cousin Tan Shi a task - to help find a suitable decoration company.
Tan Shi's efficiency is also pretty good.
The night he came back from Shazhou, Tan Shi found him and told him that he had identified three decoration companies with good reputations and was waiting for him to come back to make a decision.
"Do you have any information? I mean, do you have any information on those three decoration companies?"
"Yes! Look, I brought you, mainly their company's flyers, take a look!"
