Chapter 9 Which summer job costs fifteen thousand a day?

On the evening after the high school entrance examination, Li Luo sat on a chair in Ying Chanxi's study, turned on her computer, and stared at the screen with great interest.

He skillfully entered his QQ account and logged into his QQ from twenty years ago.

At this time, the friend list above only includes classmates from elementary school and junior high school.

It is foreseeable that it will be difficult for high school and college classmates from the previous life to meet again in this life.

At least it is unlikely to appear in your friend list again.

After the high school entrance examination, his life had taken a completely different direction from his previous life.

Sighing slightly, Li Luo opened Baidu again and searched a lot of well-known websites.

This period can be said to be the node where the Internet gradually moves from the PC era to the mobile era.

In the film and television sector, Tencent Video, iQiyi, and Youku Tudou are still competing with each other for the market.

Live streaming platforms also sprang up like mushrooms after a rain, and Douyu, Huya, etc. all emerged during this period.

Offline, three food delivery platforms are competing with each other, Meituan, Ele.me, and Baidu Takeout.

Didi and Kuaidi are also competing fiercely in the taxi-hailing industry.

The competition in the mobile Internet is still not as settled as it will be in the future.

However, for these things, even Li Luo, who had been reborn, could only watch the show from the sidelines.

Whether it is 35-year-old Li Luo or 15-year-old Li Luo, he is just an ordinary person.

He has neither capital, nor connections, nor any extraordinary abilities.

Although the memory palace has great capabilities, it is limited by brain power and energy and is not omnipotent.

So after flipping through the familiar names on the web pages with some excitement, Li Luo's heart gradually cooled down and returned to a calm state.

Although behind the dazzling array of names here are countless amounts of money and wealth.

But these things, whether before or after his rebirth, probably have nothing to do with him.

I searched my pockets and found that I only had 30 yuan in pocket money. Considering my status as a minor, I couldn't even buy stocks...

After thinking this through, Li Luo sighed and gave up the grand blueprints that had been circling in his mind since his rebirth.

I must have read too many stories about rebirth in my previous life. I am just a hard-working worker. I just follow the trend and find ways to persuade my parents to buy a house. It is more reliable than anything else!

Apart from this, we can only think of ways to make a little money first.

After all, these days, almost any industry that wants to succeed requires some upfront investment.

There are really not many ways to enter the industry with zero cost and zero threshold and make money except working honestly.

Thinking of this, Li Luo reopened Baidu and searched two websites.

One is BIZhan and the other is Qidian Chinese website.

It’s a pity that Douyin is still a long way from being launched, otherwise Li Luo would still be more inclined to choose it.

He doesn't have any other ideas now. He just hopes that his family can have enough food and clothing and live a happy high school life.

It’s better to wait until you go to college before thinking 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 popped out from Li Luo's right shoulder, and her long hair rubbed against Li Luo's face, then slid down his shoulders and fell onto his chest.

"Why did you start reading novels?"

"Oh... just taking a look." Li Luo sniffed the light fragrance of hair beside him and glanced at Ying Chanxi. Seeing that she was already wearing the panda pajamas, he knew that she must have taken a shower.

Then he came back to his senses and continued to browse the novel websites logged into his computer, taking a quick look at the rankings.

I Shall Seal the Heavens, Perfect World, Legend of the Great Saint, Douluo Dalu 2... each of them is quite old.

Li Luo was in a trance as he read. He never expected that one day he would be able to go back to the time when these books were still being serialized.

"You're not playing games today, but reading novels instead?" Ying Chanxi asked curiously.

"Do you see it?"

"I won't read it." Ying Chanxi shook his head. "I still have to prepare for the first year of high school. I don't have time to read any books."

"You are too arrogant..."

"What's too curly?"

"Uh...it just means to praise you for your hard work."

Ying Chanxi didn't think much about it. He leaned over to the computer to check the time, then said, "You can only play until ten o'clock at the latest, and then you have to go back."

"understood."

"Then I'm going to bed first."

"Okay, let's go."

"Then... good night?" Ying Chanxi blinked and looked at the computer screen. He didn't look at Li Luo's face and said this in a careful, inquiring tone.

"OK, good night."

Hearing Li Luo's response, Ying Chanxi pursed his lips slightly, then turned and walked out of the study, and returned to his bedroom in his slippers.

Ying Chanxi folded the small blanket that Li Luo gave her when she was a child into a rectangle and covered her pillow with it. Then she lay on the bed, smelled the scent on the blanket, and soon fell asleep peacefully.

Li Luo, who was checking the website in the study, watched the time go by until ten o'clock in the evening. He turned off the computer on time and went back to sleep.

……

The next day, it was around three in the morning.

When it was still dark, Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong, a couple, had already gotten up on time and crawled out in the dark.

The two of them washed up quietly to avoid waking up their son, and prepared to go out to the breakfast shop to prepare.

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. He felt for his toothbrush and cup from the gap between the two people and said, "Make way, make way, let me brush my teeth too."

"What are you doing?" Lin Xiuhong looked at her son in surprise. "Why are you still awake at three in the morning? Where are you going to fool around so early?"

"Go get a summer job." Li Luo dipped some water, smeared some toothpaste on it, stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely.

Li Guohong raised his eyebrows: "Why do you suddenly want to work during the summer vacation? It's not like your mother doesn't give you pocket money."

"Why are you working in the summer?" Lin Xiuhong also said, "Go to bed first. I'll give you 1,000 yuan in pocket money during the summer vacation. Just don't spend it carelessly."

"I'm already up, how can I sleep anymore?" Li Luo finished gargling, washed his face with cold water, and followed his parents out of the house, "Let's go!"

Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong walked out of the house in confusion, and watched Li Luo follow them all the way to the breakfast shop they had bought across the community.

Then Li Luo put on an apron and helped them clean up the tables and prepare breakfast for the morning. The couple looked at their son working diligently in the store and were a little dazed for a moment.

The key point is that this kid is really not making things worse.

Not to mention things like washing vegetables and preparing food, even making steamed buns can be learned once.

Three people worked together to prepare the ingredients. The process should have been almost ready by 5:30 in the morning, but with Li Luo joining in, everything was done before five o'clock.

Just wait for the guests to arrive.

"Okay, okay, we're done." Lin Xiuhong pulled Li Luo to sit on a chair, "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 expression, "I can go back to take a nap after lunch."

"Are you really sleepy?"

"I'm really not sleepy!" Li Luo said with a smile, and then he saw an uncle walking into the store, so he immediately stood up and greeted him, "Uncle, what do you want? The steamed buns and fried dumplings have to wait, but the others are already here."

"How about some fried noodles?"

"some."

"Then add an egg, no spicy food."

"Okay." Li Luo agreed and shouted to the kitchen, "Dad! One serving of fried noodles with an egg! No spicy food!"

The uncle sat down on the chair, looked at Li Luo, then at Lin Xiuhong, and asked with a smile: "Is this your son?"

"Yes, yes." Lin Xiuhong responded with a smile, "I just finished the high school entrance examination. I don't know what I was thinking, but I couldn't stay idle at home, so I came here to help."

"You are a sensible boy." The uncle praised, "Your family has obviously brought up good people. My girl...tsk tsk...it gives me a headache. I wish she was as sensible as your boy."

"Well...he's just like that." Lin Xiuhong said modestly, "He used to be very naughty."

"Boys are naughty when they are young." The uncle shook his head and laughed, then asked, "Boss, do you have soy milk? Sweet soy milk, hot, please."

"Yes, yes. I'll get it for you." Lin Xiuhong responded and turned around to get the soy milk.

As a result, Li Luo had already scooped out a bowl of hot sweet soy milk and handed it directly to Lin Xiuhong.

Lin Xiuhong reached out to take it, lowered her head to look at the bowl of soy milk in front of her, subconsciously stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and hurriedly brought it to the customer.

Li Luo's breakfast shop has been in business for more than ten years and is now doing very well.

Especially people from the two or three surrounding communities usually choose their breakfast shop.

Starting at around six in the morning and lasting until about half past nine, the store was filled with customers.

Normally, if there are only two of them, Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong are often very busy.

But today is very different from usual.

With the addition of Li Luo, although the company is still very busy, the entire business operation is running at an orderly pace.

The young man Li Luo was busy running around, responsible for listening to the guests' orders and then asking his parents to prepare the meals.

With the memory palace at hand, Li Luo would not make mistakes no matter how many guests came, and he would be able to serve the meals accurately every time without any signs of being flustered.

This made Lin Xiuhong, who was responsible for accounting and collecting money as well as making steamed buns, fried dumplings and fried dough sticks, feel a lot more relaxed.

In addition, many of the people who came to the store were old customers, and when they saw a new 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 words.

So Lin Xiuhong didn't feel tired at all, but was smiling all morning.

After nine o'clock, there were fewer customers in the store and it became a little more relaxed.

Although it is called a breakfast shop, it is actually open all day long.

It’s just that these few hours in the morning are the busiest. After noon, there are basically no customers.

I clean up the store in the afternoon, and after serving a small number of customers around five or six in the evening, I can close the stall and leave.

After finishing his morning work, Li Luo stretched his limbs at the door of the store.

Although I was very tired, I did not feel the exhaustion that comes from the depths of my soul after I turned thirty.

My waist isn’t sore, my neck isn’t painful, and I’m still full of energy.

As expected of a 15-year-old’s young body!
Li Luo felt the sweat sliding down his forehead with a satisfied look on his face, and felt that everything was perfect.

At this time, Li Guohong was cleaning the kitchen when he heard a low sobbing sound behind him.

When I turned around, I found Lin Xiuhong hiding in the corner, secretly wiping her 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 seems that he has become sensible all of a sudden? I am really happy today. You don't know how many people praised him this morning."

"This is a good thing." Li Guohong also smiled and hugged Lin Xiuhong, "Li Luo has grown up, we just need to be happy. Boys, as I said before, will always grow up."

"Yes, you are right." Lin Xiuhong smiled happily with tears in the corners of her eyes. Then she walked to the counter, took out a stack of red banknotes and began to count the money.

"What's going on?"

"Give him some pocket money for the summer vacation." Lin Xiuhong said as she counted, and then took out ten Mao Zedong notes.

But she paused for a moment, and took out five more bills, a total of 1500 yuan, and clenched her palm.

After wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, Lin Xiuhong took a deep breath, adjusted her state, walked out of the kitchen and came to Li Luo.

She looked up at her son who was already 1.75 meters tall, and recalled how rebellious he had been in the past few years.

Then the memory played back to the past few days, making Lin Xiuhong feel dazed.

"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, came back to her senses, and reached out to grab Li Luo's hand, stuffing fifteen red bills into his palm, "Here, have fun during the summer vacation, and you have to work hard when you enter high school."

Li Luo lowered his head, looked at the money in his hand, blinked, and then took a deep breath.

I vaguely remember this summer in my previous life, when I had an argument with my parents because I went to play basketball the day before the exam.

I didn’t do well in the high school entrance examination.

In the end, there was not even a penny left for pocket money.

And now the high school entrance exam results haven't come out yet... He is just doing normal things like a normal student, and comes to the store to help out...

But he was given 1500 yuan in pocket money.

When he was in college, this was probably his monthly living expenses.

Li Luo was filled with emotion, but he said, "Mom, do you make so much money as a summer job here? Can I come back tomorrow? I can work until I retire for 1500 a day."

"..." Lin Xiuhong stared at this thing that couldn't even spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. Her heart was filled with emotion but was instantly wiped out. "Get out of here!"
