That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 356 You can only control your own money

Li Ye has always believed that behind every flower-growing proverb, there is an ironclad factual basis.

For example, the sentence "A son does not despise his mother for being ugly, and a dog does not despise his family for being poor" is a warning to people not to do something as offensive as "dislike their parents", let alone blame their poor background for dragging them down.

So when he saw Yang Yujiao hiding from him, Li Ye decided to go to the store to check the situation.

Whenever Yang Yumin had the slightest idea of ​​disdain for his mother, Li Ye felt that he was blind and had seen the wrong person for so long.

However, when Li Ye left, Zhen Rongrong and others also followed.

When Li Ye and others arrived at Yang Yumin's small restaurant, Yang Yumin was sweating profusely and kneading dough, while Yang Yumin's mother, Yang Huaihua, was busy making dumplings.

Seeing Yang Yujiao come in, Yang Huaihua quickly urged: "Nier, you are back. Hurry up and deliver the lunch from the East District to me. It's almost time."

As a result, as soon as Yang Huaihua stood up, she saw Li Ye and others following her daughter.

She was stunned for a moment, then showed a simple smile, but did not talk to Li Ye immediately, but looked at Yang Yumin who was immersed in the conversation.

Just for the noodles we just had, they made at least 15 cents per portion, and the dumplings made us at least 20 cents."

Not to mention that Yang Yumin is a top-notch person, but his qualifications are average. Li Ye only needs to make a slight move to remind Yang Yumin to pay attention to some explosive thunder, and he can help him rise smoothly.

Li Ye said with a smile: "I just met your sister, but she pretended not to know me. Why? You are afraid that we will see you, a college student, meeting here. Are you sorry?"

"No, no, if you take money, why don't you make people laugh?"

Yang Yumin then raised his head and saw Li Ye and others.

"How much money people make is their business, why do we need to calculate the profits for them? You have to eat for free to feel comfortable, right?"

"Did you just see it? Yang Yumin's small restaurant sent out two meals at a time, each time with two large food boxes, each containing at least twenty or thirty portions.

Calculated in this way, two meals a day will cost at least two to three hundred portions. Even if you earn ten cents per portion, it will be twenty or thirty per day, and it will be... my God."

"Oh, mother, they won't leave until you collect money today."

This is not the same kind of person as those who go to college but despise their parents for being old-fashioned and embarrassing themselves.

However, everyone majors in economics, but some people have particularly good economic acumen.

However, Yang Huaihua persuaded Li Ye, and Zhen Rongrong and others enthusiastically started to help.

Yang Yumin quickly raised his hand to block it and said: "Forget it! I'm not as good as you in writing articles, but you definitely can't be as good as me in kneading dough. I'll knead it right away. Wait for me for twenty minutes and I'll make sure everyone eats it. Have lunch.”

"Li Ye, why are you here?"

"That won't work either!"

"That's right, we all know Yang Yumin, we are not outsiders."

"."

Poverty is not terrible, and suffering is even less terrible. As long as you have a correct outlook on life, there is nothing to fear.

"."

Yang Huaihua was stunned and said angrily: "Yu Min, how can you collect money? How can you."

Then Zhen Rongrong, Chen Xiaoling and others quietly sent a message asking everyone to collect their change and food stamps and pay the bill when they finished eating.

Li Ye rolled up his sleeves and said, "Forget it, I'll help you knead the dough. Everyone is hungry. Hurry up and make some noodles. Dumplings will do too."

Yang Huaihua also came out quickly and said to Li Ye: "Sit down, my dear, how can I let you do it? Just wait, you will get used to it in a while."

Of course Yang Huaihua didn't want it, and she kept pushing and giving ground to Zhen Rongrong anxiously, as if they were fighting.

Seeing Yang Huaihua and Zhen Rongrong arguing endlessly, Yang Yumin came over and reached out to take the banknotes and food stamps from Zhen Rongrong's hand.

But today Li Ye didn't give up and said: "The noodles we ate just now were 35 cents per bowl and the dumplings were 50 cents. But in the state-owned restaurant outside, the noodles were 40 cents and the dumplings were 60 cents.

Why don't you think it's expensive when you eat state-owned food, but you think it's expensive when you eat other people's food? "

"Auntie, you don't have to worry about us, we can just do it ourselves."

"What's so embarrassing about this? Everyone, sit down! If you're thirsty, grab a bowl of noodle soup and drink it yourself."

Several girls took action one after another, taking bowls and placing dumplings. Although there were not enough stools in the room and some people were standing, everyone was always able to have lunch.

Everyone didn't expect Li Ye's sudden change of expression, and they didn't answer for a while, because Li Ye didn't like to talk very much, but if he really wanted to quarrel with someone, he would be at the level of the school debate team.

Li Ye stopped and said with a displeased expression, "I'm telling you, some classmates, if I earn you two cents, you feel like you're at a loss?"

Li Ye and others took advantage of the quarrel between the two mothers and hurried out of the Yang family's restaurant.

"what?"

He Dazhuang immediately said disdainfully: "You only earn a dime for a meal? You guys really don't distinguish between grains. Do you know how many noodles can be kneaded with a pound of flour?

"Auntie, you're wrong. Even though we are all juniors, we are all salaried people. It's more than 20 yuan a month! Just keep it!"

Then he smiled and said: "Thank you for your support today! I will treat you all to a meal at school another day."

"."

"Why are you kids so stubborn? You can't even manage a meal in our family? Isn't this looking down on others?"

Li Ye looked at Yang Yumin's reaction. He was really honest and had no idea of ​​embarrassment or embarrassment at all.

Zhen Rongrong took a breath, thinking that she would never go to an acquaintance's store to spend money in the future. Not accepting money would be more uncomfortable than robbing people with high prices.

Yang Yumin didn't stop, and smiled and said to Li Ye: "You help me greet the classmates. I'm done now. There are too many people today on May Day, and my mother is really too busy here."

Li Ye also smiled, and then said: "Lao Yang, brothers are here to take care of your business, why don't you say hello?"

"No, no, no, Li Ye, you are wrong. We feel uncomfortable eating for free!"

"Yes, yes, even if we know Yang Yumin, it is only natural to give money to eat. It would be outrageous not to give money."

Everyone was stunned for several seconds, and then several students quickly explained, fearing that they would be labeled as freeloaders.

Li Ye was really angry. The portion Yang Huaihua gave everyone just now was half more than other restaurants, and the price was a bit cheaper. As a result, He Dazhuang and others even calculated the profit for them.

If a cup of boiled water costs you five yuan in the middle of winter, why don't you stick a Gatling in your eyelid and fly into the sky with sparks?

He Dazhuang felt that he was reprimanded by Li Ye for no reason.

He couldn't help but said weakly: "But the money earned by state-owned restaurants belongs to everyone, and the money earned by private restaurants belongs to individuals!"

"."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, thinking that this seemed to be the case, but then they heard someone shouting from behind.

"Wait a minute, students, wait a minute." Everyone looked back and found that Yang Yumin was chasing after them.

Yang Yumin didn't catch up with him empty-handed, but he was carrying two boxes of Pengcheng Red Bull. Judging from the direction he ran in, it was obvious that he had just bought them from the Pengcheng Red Bull store.

After catching up, he unpacked the package and stuffed a can into each person like smokers scattering cigarettes.

"Everyone have a try, don't be disrespectful!"

"What are you full of? If you're full, take it and drink it later. Why are you looking down on me?"

After a while, Li Ye and others had a can of Pengcheng Red Bull in their hands.

Li Ye took the lead in opening it with a smile, took a sip, and then said, "Do you understand what's going on?"

"."

Zhen Rongrong didn't even understand what Li Ye said, so she could only shake her head slowly.

Li Ye raised the can in his hand and said: "This drink was given to us by Yang Yumin, and it was paid for by his royalties. The meal we just ate was the fruit of Yang Yumin's labor.

He, Yang Yumin, can spend his own money as he pleases, but he cannot decide how to spend other people's money, not even his mother. What we just gave is not just food money, but also respect for a working people. "

"So how we earn and spend other people's money is not something we should think about. What we should think about is how we earn and spend it ourselves."

"."

. . . . . . . .

Zhen Rongrong and others continued to engage in their own social practice, while Li Ye stayed and chatted with Yang Yumin.

Li Ye said: "Your mother's shop is too busy, so we need to hire a few people to help."

Yang Yumin shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Do you think I didn't tell my mother? But she doesn't agree to it! It costs twenty or thirty yuan a month to hire someone, and she really can't bear it."

Li Ye said: "That won't work. If this continues, your mother will be exhausted, and it will also delay your sister's homework. In addition, you have to equip the store with a refrigerator and wrap the dumplings in advance to store them."

Yang Yumin became even more depressed and confided to Li Ye: "I've thought about this too. I still have some foreign exchange and it's enough to buy a refrigerator. But my mother said I was a prodigal and hit me with a rolling pin."

"."

Li Ye looked at Yang Yumin who was "crying", but found a happy smile on his face, as if his mother Yang Huaihua beat him with a rolling pin, but he was happy with it.

In fact, it's right to think about it. When I feel embarrassed to hit you, you should reflect on why.

Li Ye thought for a while and said: "Old Yang, you should be able to tell that your mother's business will definitely get bigger and bigger in the future, so you have to guide the old man to learn management now. You can't just regard yourself as a business owner." "Food"

"My mother is worried!" Yang Yumin said worriedly: "Your sister has told me these things. The economics she is learning from you now is a set of things."

Li Ye: "."

Li Ye knew that after his sister Li Yue arrived in the capital, she did not just rely on her identity to eat and die in Pengcheng No. 7 Factory.

Not only did she work hard to master her part of the business, she also studied for exams on her own, and even enrolled in a night university.

It's just that Li Ye really didn't expect that Li Yue would be confident enough to "learn lessons" from Yang Yumin.

This is good, at least my sister Li Yue doesn't feel inferior to Yang Yumin because of her academic qualifications.

And looking at Yang Yumin's current appearance, he didn't mean to laugh at Li Yue.

"Lao Yang, there are always more solutions than difficulties. If it doesn't work, just bring in some reinforcements! Sometimes it's not unfilial to be flirtatious with the elderly."

Li Ye patted Yang Yumin's shoulder and left.

"."

Yang Yumin returned to his small restaurant, opened the remaining can of Pengcheng Red Bull, and handed it to his sister.

He knew that if he didn't open it, his sister wouldn't be able to open it even if she kept it under the covers for half a month.

Yang Yujiao delivered countless takeaways in one afternoon, and she was so tired that she stuck out her tongue like a husky! He took the drink and took a sip immediately, then spit out a note with satisfaction and pleasure.

"Ah~"

But just as Yang Yujiao took her second sip, my old lady said: "You two just burn the buns! You can drink a can of horse urine for several days' wages."

"Mom, it doesn't smell like horse urine! Try it."

"Gungun, can't you see I'm not finished here? You finish your work and go do your homework. It's not easy to find a school for you. If you don't study well."

"Mom, I finished my homework yesterday!"

"Then just write it again!"

"."

Yang Yujiao pursed her lips, quietly placed half a can of Pengcheng Red Bull next to her mother, and obediently picked up her schoolbag and walked away.

I am more stubborn than myself!

Yang Yumin saw his sister walking away, so he walked to Yang Huaihua and said in a deep voice: "Mom, Li Ye just said something to me."

Yang Huaihua was stunned and immediately asked nervously: "What did he say?"

Yang Yumin said: "He said I was unfilial and didn't hire anyone for you or buy you a refrigerator."

"Then make it clear to him!" Yang Huaihua said anxiously: "I don't want to do this. What is the thing under your nose? Are you mute at the critical moment?"

Yang Yumin made a bitter face and said: "I told you, but my classmate Li Ye is not a good-tempered person. He said that I am not filial, which means I am not filial.

Don’t you know that he has been the little emperor of the family since he was a child? Even his father and grandfather obey him, let alone Li Yue."

Li Ye asked Yang Yumin to move reinforcements, but he actually asked his sister Li Yue to come forward to persuade him.

So how smart is Yang Yumin? How can you destroy the relationship between my mother and Li Yue?

With a ready-made guy like Li Ye, wouldn't it be more appropriate to introduce it to the flag sacrifice?

"That"

Yang Huaihua finally said helplessly: "Then hire someone first! Oh, you said Xiaoyue is such a good girl, how come she has such a domineering brother!"

"Mom, don't speak ill of Li Yue's brother in front of him! Otherwise, I will be implicated."

"Mom, I know, I know. Go and do your work! You are about to be assigned work, so don't always run to me."

After Yang Huaihua drove Yang Yumin away, she sighed and put away the stove.

But then she thought about it, and felt that even if she hired someone, she would still make money. When the time came to hire someone, it would be a good thing to just and confidently prohibit Yang Yumin from coming to help again.

After thinking about it, Yang Huaihua saw most of the can of Pengcheng Red Bull.

I took it and took a bite.

sweet.

As sweet as the good days.
