Chapter 9 Which summer job pays 1,500 a day?
On the night after the high school entrance examination, Li Luo sat on a chair in the study room of Ying Chanxi's home, turned on her computer, looked at the screen, and watched with gusto.
He skillfully entered his QQ account number and logged into the QQ he used twenty years ago.
At this time, there are only classmates from elementary school and junior high school in the friend list above.
It is foreseeable that the high school and college classmates from my previous life will probably be difficult to meet again in this life.
At least it's unlikely to appear in your friends list again.
After taking the high school entrance examination, his life has taken a completely different direction from his previous life.
Sighing slightly, Li Luo opened Baidu and searched a lot of well-known websites.
The current period can be said to be the point where the Internet is gradually entering the mobile era from the PC side.
In terms of film and television, Tencent Video, iQiyi, and Youku Tudou are still competing with each other to compete for the market.
Live broadcast platforms have also sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and Douyu, Huya, etc. have all shown their prowess during this period.
Offline, three food delivery platforms compete with each other, with Meituan, Ele.me and Baidu Takeout competing for food.
Didi and Kuaidi are also competing fiercely in the taxi-hailing field.
In the competition on the mobile Internet, everything has not yet been settled as it was in later generations.
But for these things, even Li Luo, who has returned from rebirth, can only watch the show from the sidelines.
Whether it is 35-year-old Li Luo or 15-year-old Li Luo, they are just ordinary people.
He has no capital, no connections, and no extraordinary abilities.
Although the ability of the memory palace is good, it is limited by brain power and energy, so it is not omnipotent.
So after looking through the familiar names on the web page with some excitement, Li Luo's heart gradually cooled down and returned to a calm state.
Although behind the dazzling array of names above, there are countless amounts of money and wealth.
But these things, whether before or after rebirth, most likely have nothing to do with him.
When I dug into my trouser pocket, I only had more than thirty yuan of pocket money. Considering my status as a minor, I couldn't even buy stocks...
After thinking about this clearly, Li Luo sighed and gave up on the grand blueprints that had been circling in his mind since his rebirth.
I really read too many rebirth articles in my last life, so I worked hard as a worker and followed the trend to find ways to persuade my parents to buy a house. It was much more reliable than anything else!
Other than that, I can only think of ways to make some money and give it a try.
After all, in these days, almost every industry needs some upfront investment to achieve success.
To truly be able to join the industry at zero cost and with no barriers, and still make money, there really aren’t many other ways besides working honestly.
Thinking of this, Li Luo reopened Baidu and searched two websites.
One Bizhan and one Qidian Chinese website.
It's a pity that Douyin is still very early to go online, otherwise Li Luo would still be more inclined to find it.
He has no more ideas now. He just hopes that his family can have enough food and clothing and live a happy high school life.
Let’s wait until we get to college to talk about making money seriously.
…
"What are you looking at?" At around nine o'clock in the evening, Ying Chanxi's voice suddenly appeared behind Li Luo.
Her head poked out from Li Luo's right shoulder, and her long hair that fell down rubbed Li Luo's face, slipped from his shoulder, and fell to his chest.
"Why did you start reading novels?"
"Oh... Just take a look." Li Luo sniffed the light fragrance of hair around him and glanced at Ying Chanxi. Seeing that she had put on the panda pajamas, he knew that she had probably taken a bath.
Then he came back to his senses and continued to browse the novel website logged in on the computer webpage, briefly browsing the rankings above.
I Want to Seal the Sky, Perfect World, The Wilderness, Douluo 2...all of them are quite ancient stuff.
Li Luo was in a trance while reading. He never thought that one day he would be able to go back to the time when these books were still being serialized.
"You stopped playing games today and read novels instead?" Ying Chanxi asked curiously.
"Do you see it?"
"I don't want to read it." Ying Chanxi shook his head, "I still have to preview the contents of the first year of high school, so I don't have time to read leisure books."
"You are too curly..."
"What's too curly?"
"Um... I just want to praise you for your hard work."
Ying Chanxi didn't think much. He leaned closer to the computer and took a look at the time, and then said, "You can play until ten o'clock at most, and then you have to go back."
"knew."
"Then I'm going to bed first."
"Okay, let's go."
"Then...good night?" Ying Chanxi blinked, looked at the computer screen without looking at Li Luo's face, and said this with a cautious questioning tone.
"Well, good night."
Hearing Li Luo's response, Ying Chanxi pursed his lips slightly, then turned around and walked out of the study, stepping on his slippers and returning to his bedroom.
Ying Chanxi folded the small blanket that Li Luo had given her personally as a rectangle into a rectangle and covered it on her own pillow. Ying Chanxi lay on the bed, smelled the scent, and soon fell asleep peacefully.
Li Luo, who was checking the website in the study room, watched the time come to ten o'clock in the evening. He also shut down the computer on time and went back to the opposite door to sleep.
…
The next day, it was around three in the morning.
When it was still dark, Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong got up on time and got up in the dark.
The two washed up gently to avoid waking their son, and prepared to go out to the breakfast shop to make preparations.
But at this moment, Li Luo's bedroom door was opened.
Li Luo, who had already changed his clothes, walked out and squeezed into the bathroom with ease. From the gap between the two of them, he touched his toothbrush cup: "Give me a step, let me brush my teeth too."
"What do you want to do?" Lin Xiuhong looked at her son in surprise, "You don't sleep at three o'clock in the middle of the night. Where are you going to fool around so early?"
"Going to work during the summer vacation." Li Luo soaked some water, put toothpaste on it, stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely.
Li Guohong raised his eyebrows: "Why did you suddenly think of working during the summer vacation? It's not like your mother doesn't give you pocket money."
"What kind of summer job are you doing?" Lin Xiuhong also said, "Go to bed first. I will give you a thousand yuan of pocket money during the summer vacation. Just don't spend it randomly."
"I'm already up, how can I still sleep?" Li Luo finished gargling, washed his face with cold water and wiped it clean, then followed his parents out of the house, "Let's go, let's go!"
Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong walked out of the house with confused faces and watched Li Luo follow them all the way to the breakfast store opposite the community where they had ordered.
Then Li Luo put on an apron, and together with them, tidied up the tables in the store and began to prepare the morning meals for the breakfast restaurant.
The couple looked at their son who was working seriously in the store, and they looked a little dazed for a moment.
The key point is that this guy really isn't doing any harm.
Not to mention things like washing and preparing vegetables, even steamed buns and steamed buns can be learned once.
The three people prepared these ingredients together. The process that was supposed to be almost ready at 5:30 in the morning was completed before 5:00 after Li Luo joined.
Just wait for customers to come to your door.
"Okay, okay, we're all done." Lin Xiuhong pulled Li Luo to sit on a chair, "Have a rest for a while, and go home to catch up on some sleep later."
"I'm not sleepy." Li Luo looked at his mother with a strange look on his face, "Why don't I go back and take a nap after lunch?"
"Are you really sleepy?"
"I'm really not sleepy!" Li Luo said with a smile. Then he saw an uncle walking into the store, and immediately stood up to greet him, "What would you like to order, uncle? We still have to wait for steamed buns and fried dumplings. Everything else is already available.
"
"Would you like some fried noodles?"
"some."
"Then add an egg, don't make it spicy."
"Okay." Li Luo responded and shouted into the kitchen, "Dad! Add an egg to a portion of fried noodles! Don't add spicy food!"
The uncle sat down on the chair, looked at Li Luo, then looked at Lin Xiuhong, and asked with a smile: "Is this your son?"
"Yes, yes." Lin Xiuhong responded with a smile, "I just finished my high school entrance exam. I don't know what I thought. I couldn't sit still at home, so I came here to help."
"Young man is very sensible." The uncle praised him, "You have a good tutor at first glance. That girl in my family... tsk tsk... has a headache. It would be great if your boy is as sensible as you."
"Hey...he's just like that." Lin Xiuhong became modest and polite, "I used to be very naughty."
"Boys, they were always naughty when they were young." The uncle shook his head and laughed, then asked, "Does the boss lady have soy milk? Sweet soy milk, it needs to be hot."
"Yes, yes, I'll get it for you." Lin Xiuhong responded, turning around to get the soy milk.
As a result, Li Luo over there had already scooped up a bowl of hot sweet soy milk and handed it directly to Lin Xiuhong's hand.
Lin Xiuhong stretched out her hand to take it, looked down at the bowl of soy milk in front of her, and was stunned for a moment subconsciously. Then she came back to her senses and hurriedly served it to the guest.
Li Luo's breakfast shop has been in business for more than ten years, and its business is now very good.
Especially people from the surrounding two or three communities will usually look for their breakfast shop.
Starting from less than six o'clock in the morning and lasting until about nine-thirty, there was an endless stream of customers in the store.
Usually, if there are only two people, Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong are usually too busy to keep their feet off the ground.
But today is very different from usual.
After Li Luo joined, although it is still very busy, the rhythm of the entire operation is orderly.
Li Luo, a young man, was busy and was responsible for listening to the guests' orders and then calling his parents to prepare the meals.
With the Memory Palace in his possession, no matter how many guests come, Li Luo will not forget anything and can serve the meal accurately every time without any sign of being rushed.
This made Lin Xiuhong, who was responsible for accounting and collection, as well as making steamed buns, fried dumplings and fried dough sticks, suddenly feel much more relaxed.
In addition, many of the people who came to the store were old customers. When they saw an extra figure in the store, they couldn't help but ask questions.
After knowing that he was Lin Xiuhong's son, he smiled and praised him a few times.
As a result, Lin Xiuhong didn't feel tired at all, but was smiling all morning.
After nine o'clock, there were not so many customers in the store, so I felt a little more relaxed.
Although it is said to be a breakfast shop, it is actually open all day long.
It's just that the busiest hours are in the morning, and after noon, there are basically no customers.
In the afternoon, I tidy up the store, and after receiving a small wave of customers at five or six in the evening, I can close the stall and leave.
Now that he was done with his morning work, Li Luo stretched his limbs at the door of the store.
Although it is quite tiring, it does not have the fatigue that comes from the depths of the soul after turning thirty.
My waist is not sore, my neck is not hurting, and I still have plenty of energy.
As expected of a 15-year-old young body!
Li Luo felt the sweat dripping from his forehead with a satisfied look on his face, and felt that everything was very beautiful.
At this time, Li Guohong was cleaning up the kitchen when he heard a low sobbing sound behind him.
Turning around, she saw Lin Xiuhong hiding in the corner, secretly wiping tears.
"Hey, why are you crying?" Li Guohong walked up, held his wife's shoulders, and handed her a tissue.
"It's okay... I'm just happy..." Lin Xiuhong cried with a smile, wiped her tears, choked twice, patted her chest and said to Li Guohong, "Do you think Li Luo has grown up? It feels like he has become sensible all of a sudden.
What about him? I'm so happy today, you don't even know how many people praised him all morning."
"This is a good thing." Li Guohong also smiled and hugged Lin Xiuhong, "Li Luo is sensible now, so we can be happy. Boys, as I said before, will always become sensible."
"Yes, you are right." Lin Xiuhong had tears in her eyes and smiled very happily. Then she walked to the counter, took out a wad of red bills and started counting the money.
"What's going on?"
"Give him pocket money for the summer vacation." Lin Xiuhong said while counting, and then took out ten Mao Zedong cards.
But the movement of her hand paused for a moment, and she took out five more cards, a total of 1,500 yuan, and clenched her palms.
After wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Lin Xiuhong took a deep breath, adjusted herself, walked out of the kitchen, and walked to Li Luo.
She looked up at her son, who was already 1.75 meters tall, and recalled in her mind the rebellious appearance of this boy in the past few years.
Then the memory played back to the past few days, leaving Lin Xiuhong in a trance.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Li Luo looked at Lin Xiuhong strangely, raised his hand and waved in front of her, "Are you tired?"
"No, I'm not tired." Lin Xiuhong shook her head and came to her senses, then reached out to grab Li Luo's hand and stuffed fifteen red bills into his palm, "Here, let's have fun during the summer vacation.
When you enter high school, you have to work hard."
Li Luo lowered his head, looked at the money in his hand, blinked, and then took a deep breath.
I vaguely remember this summer vacation in my previous life, because I went to play basketball the day before the exam and quarreled with my parents.
I didn’t do well in the high school entrance examination either.
I don't even have the last penny of pocket money.
And now the results of the high school entrance examination have not come out yet... He is just doing normal things like a normal student and stopping by to help out in the store...
But I was stuffed with 1,500 yuan of pocket money.
When he first went to college, his monthly living expenses only amounted to this much.
Li Luo's heart was full of emotions, but he said: "Mom, is your summer job so profitable? Can I come back tomorrow? I can work for 1,500 a day until I retire."
"..." Lin Xiuhong stared at this thing that couldn't spit out ivory from the dog's mouth. She was so moved that she was instantly retracted, "Get out of here!"
Chapter completed!
