Chapter 24: Son of Luck

"Brother, just buy one pair, really just buy one pair."

In the military service agency of Qingshui County, Li Juan grabbed Li Ye's arm tightly, preventing him from taking out money.

Originally, she had told Li Ye that she would only buy a pair of fur-lined cotton shoes for her younger sister Li Ying to reduce the pain of frozen feet,

but after Li Ye came, he told the waiter, "Give me two pairs of fur-lined cotton shoes, one size 35, one size 32."

Although she was moved, the timid Li Juan couldn't accept it. If she took the shoes back, would her mother scold her to death?

【Are you so old and don't know anything? Brother's money was all used to buy cotton shoes for you, so are you going to live on the northwest wind? Not smoking anymore? Not eating meat anymore?】

However, just as the two started pulling, the waiter at the service agency said: "There are no size 32, and no size 35. The smallest is 36. Do you want it?"

"........"

Now the brothers and sisters had nothing to pull. Li Juan, who was size 35, could barely wear size 36 shoes, but Yingying was still in elementary school! She definitely couldn't wear size 36 shoes.

"Then okay! Sister, give me a pair of size 36 first. Also, can you reserve a pair of size 32 for me? If not, size 33 is fine."

Li Ye asked the female waiter while taking out money.

"Reserve? Your young man's idea is really strange."

Perhaps because he was handsome and had a sweet mouth, the high-and-mighty waiter didn't find him annoying and explained to Li Ye: "We don't sell small-sized shoes here. If you want to buy them, go to the department store and take a look! But I guess it's unlikely."

Li Ye thought it was the same. Children in this era are actually quite miserable. Basically, they wear cloth cotton shoes made by their mothers, and clothes are also worn by sisters and mothers.

There is no market, so there is no trading. Qingshui County is not a big city, and the consciousness of serving the country's flower bones is not strong. Like those foreign-style children's leather shoes, you have to go to big cities.

"Come, change and try."

"Brother, don't, okay? I have shoes to wear."

"What nonsense."

The waiter took out a pair of size 36 shoes, and Li Ye let Li Juan change and try.

Li Juan twisted and turned for a long time before taking her feet out of the soaked cotton shoes. The soaked socks actually had three holes, revealing three radish heads.

Li Ye hurriedly bought two more pairs of socks and let Li Juan change them along with the shoes.

"How is it? Do you need to add two more insoles?"

"No, brother...... just right, really warm."

The little girl didn't resist anymore. Although looking at the fur-lined leather shoes from the perspective of later generations is very earthy and low, it was quite beautiful to wear on her feet at this moment.

"Okay, let's go!"

Li Ye put Li Juan's cotton shoes into the shoe box and turned to go out of the military service agency, but Li Juan didn't follow, and said timidly from behind: "Brother, brother, wait...... change shoes."

Li Ye looked back and understood. The little girl was reluctant to wear new shoes to walk in the snow. She wanted to change back to the soaked old cotton shoes before leaving.

Li Ye said unhappily: "Buying these shoes is for walking in the snow, otherwise why buy them?"

Seeing Li Ye pull a long face, Li Juan shrank her neck reflexively, lowered her head, and followed carefully.

In the past, when she and her mother first entered the door, this brother always had a long face, and that look was as scary as a big yellow dog whose food bowl had been snatched.

Li Ye walked a few steps and found that the little girl was getting further and further away from him.

It turned out that in order to avoid getting her new shoes wet, she carefully avoided the thick snow, twisting and turning like walking in a maze.

Li Ye couldn't help but laugh, thinking of himself when he owned his first car in his previous life.

That new car was closer than his wife. If there was a scratch on it, he would go to the 4S shop for original paint.

Later...... as long as it could run, he wouldn't repair it if he died, a typical case of loving the new and loathing the old.

"Hurry up, we still have to go to the grocery store to buy White Rabbit candy!"

"Brother, why buy candy..... ate malt candy a few days ago..... slurp...... don't buy it!"

The little girl who was walking around heard this and hurriedly resisted, but the natural conditioned reflex of drooling made her very embarrassed and very red-faced.

Sweets are too tempting for children in this era. It's really not a legend that a lollipop can abduct a child.

"You are beautiful in new shoes, what about Yingying? Don't you know that you shouldn't worry about poverty but about inequality? When she cries with grievance, you have to use candy to block her mouth?"

Li Juan is 14 this year, and the younger Li Ying is only 11. Li Ye could think with his toes that when Li Juan wears new shoes home, the little girl will be so resentful. If there is no sweetness, the sisters in the family will have conflicts.

"No need..... slurp...... sister will just cry for a while...... slurp....... it doesn't matter......."

Although very embarrassed, Li Juan still quickened her pace and followed behind her brother.

White Rabbit candy! White Rabbit candy, the queen of candy~~

Mom ate it once when she entered the door, and that taste could be remembered for a lifetime.

As for what Li Ye said, if she wears new shoes home, she will make her sister, who didn't get equal treatment, cry with grievance, she doesn't care at all!

In this era, the bloodline suppression of the sister is so domineering. If you want to wear good shoes and good clothes, wait for me to replace them!

Not convinced? If you are not convinced, I will beat you. Even if you go to Mom, you are not reasonable. Who told you to be the younger sister, not the younger brother?

Li Ye spent three yuan to buy two catties of White Rabbit candy and wrapped them into two bags and handed them to Li Juan. Li Juan hurriedly untied the front of her cotton jacket and stuffed them in, holding them tightly like holding her son.

"After you go back, one bag is for you to eat, and the other bag is handed over to Grandma for distribution, do you remember?"

"Mmm mmm..... yes yes."

Li Juan held the candy in her mouth, reluctant to chew it and swallow it, nodding her head, indicating that she guaranteed to do it. The brother had already grabbed a handful for her to eat on the road, so no matter how it was divided, she earned it.

Li Ye sent Li Juan for a distance until he watched her small figure turn the corner, and then returned to County No. 2 Middle School.

He walked and pondered how to make money safely and quickly.

Since he came to this world, let's not talk about any big ambitions for now. At least let the people around him live a good life without worrying about a roast chicken every day, right?

In this era, there are outlets everywhere that can make pigs fly, and a chicken feather can also fly into the sky with the wind.

But pigs that fell to death, chickens that drowned, don't know how many there are.

For example, going south to Guangdong to sell clothes and department store goods now, there is indeed a possibility of eating crabs,

but it is also possible to have your pocket picked on the train, be cheated of goods in Guangdong, or even be robbed or confiscated. All kinds of accidents are possible.

And Li Ye's age and identity at this moment gave him great restrictions.

An eighteen or nineteen-year-old high school student, the teacher has to check the attendance every day. Can you abandon your studies to engage in individual business?

Believe it or not, your father can break your legs, and your grandparents won't even help.

Even if you take a step back, your family agrees that you don't take the college entrance exam, that is to let you enter the unit to participate in work. Can you let you go out to speculate and profiteer?

Even if the Li family is open-minded and willing to let Li Ye do whatever he wants, that....... is not possible!

Born in this era, you don't take the golden avenue of "class leap" of the college entrance exam, but take a detour to do business........

That is what a big sb would do.

The rise of private enterprises will be many years later. The social status of individual operators now is not as good as a gatekeeper with a position in a state-run unit.

So if you want to do business now, it is basically the road of small vendors—big vendors—big businessmen, which belongs to the inspirational hero who fought all the way from the bottom.

Then in this place of the Great Heavenly Dynasty, when you have been in the business sea for decades and earned countless family wealth, you will inevitably encounter the upper-level barrier,

and then you carry a pig's head to worship at the temple door, and when the temple door opens,

Woni Ma, the big boss who needs you to bow and scrape before he lifts his eyelids, is actually a big boss from the eighties university student background.

Just ask if you are convinced, just ask if you are angry.

University students in the late seventies and early eighties, when they were promoted, were all rocket speeds,

especially the four famous schools of Qingbei, Ren, and Ke at this time, and there are many who have stepped into the center.

If Li Ye gets into Qingbei, Ren, and Ke this year, he only needs four years to step into the "temple door" with one foot and cross several levels from the bottom of the pyramid.

This kind of opportunity is really precious for people from ordinary backgrounds. Basically, it is the village that doesn't have this store.

Even if Li Ye can't stand being managed in the future and chooses not to go into politics but into business, the huge network of classmates is also a huge help, naturally several levels higher than those chicken feather businessmen,

because he is either a person in the same circle as the bosses, or he can talk to them by turning a corner.

What was the name of the university student Chen Jianghe met on the train? What was the identity contrast between him and Chen Jianghe when he graduated?

Are you cow-er than Chen Jianghe?

So if you want to make money now, you can only take care of both without affecting your studies, so there are too many restrictions in all aspects.

【What to do?】

【Money must be made. A man cannot bend his waist for a penny, and both fish and bear's paw must be eaten.】

Li Ye walked back to County No. 2 Middle School with his head down. Because he was thinking about things, he didn't notice a person squatting at the gate of No. 2 Middle School.

But that person saw him.

"Little brother, little brother...... hehe...... have you eaten...... eat candy, eat candy......"

Li Ye looked at this person who was frozen with snot, but still full of smiles, and couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

【Am I really the protagonist template, the son of luck? Someone just happened to send a pillow when I was sleepy?】 ===== CHAPTER 25 =====
