Chapter 11 Want to make money
In the end, Lai Huaguang did not admit his mistake in front of all the teachers and students in the school. Because Lai Huaguang cried in front of the class teacher, the teacher advised He Shu to be magnanimous.
Generous? Oh, such double standards.
When he was wronged before and people whispered that he was a thief, why did no one advise Lai Huaguang to be magnanimous?
He Shu knew that a crying child would get milk, but no one would feel sorry for a child without a mother even if he cried.
What could he do? He couldn't cry like Lai Huaguang.
The only way Lai Huaguang could let the matter go was after he said sorry to him in private.
There were only two classes in the afternoon before the holiday, and Lai Huaguang left in a hurry.
He Shu packed his things slowly, planning to take the sheets and quilt covers home to wash.
At this time, Li Lisen actually came over to apologize to him.
"He Shu, I'm sorry. I know Lai Huaguang has no money, but when he wronged you, I didn't stand up to prove your case."
He Shu was very surprised by Li Lisen's apology. You know, because of Lai Huaguang, He Shu had hardly any communication with his roommates since entering the school.
Moreover, Li Lisen is usually the closest to Lai Huaguang, and they are as close as brothers, so He Shu didn't know how to respond for a moment.
"I didn't expect his character to be so bad. I won't be friends with him anymore. He Shu, can we be friends from now on?"
He Shu nodded and said it was okay.
He was not in the habit of speaking ill of others, even though the grudge between him and Lai Huaguang had lasted for more than a day or two.
But he would not immediately believe Li Lisen and become friends with him, because He Shu had learned enough lessons in the past.
"Why are you packing all this? Let me help you." Li Lisen began to help He Shu pack bedding into the luggage bag.
"If he troubles you again in the future, I will help you solve it." After packing the luggage, Li Lisen wanted to rush to help He Shu carry it out, but was politely rejected by He Shu.
Li Lisen didn't care and just said he would bring something good to He Shu next Monday.
When he left the dormitory, Xia Miao was waiting for him outside.
"He Shu, are you okay?" After hearing about what happened in the morning, Xia Miao has been worried about He Shu, but she didn't find a chance to meet him at noon.
He Shu shook his head and walked out of the school gate with his luggage.
"Actually, you can ask the teacher to change dormitories. Lai Huaguang is so despicable. You can definitely ask the teacher for help."
Change dormitories? He Shu thought it was unnecessary. It would be the same no matter where we lived.
The school gate was getting closer and closer. Xia Miao knew that her mother must have been waiting outside long ago, and there would be no chance to talk if she went out.
So I quickly asked, "He Shu, I don't know how to solve some of the questions. Can I come to you on Saturday to do my homework together?"
"I'm not at home on Saturday." He Shu found a reason to refuse.
"Ah? Then... okay." Xia Miao lowered her head in disappointment, and her two braids seemed to droop.
After walking out of the school gate, Xia Miao said goodbye to He Shu and was picked up by her mother. He Shu glanced at her, then slowly walked back along the road carrying his luggage bag.
Danhe is a third-tier city with good overall development. Most importantly, Danhe has many beautiful scenery and historical sites.
During high school dismissal time, there are a lot more cars on the road in front of the school than usual.
Many students who had been locked up for a week rushed into stores in groups of three or five to buy a lot of things.
Or drag your parents out for a meal of not-so-cheap junk food to satisfy your appetite.
He Shu , alone, was carrying a large luggage bag, weaving through the crowd and traffic, and stopped when his eyes passed a funeral home.
He now has a total of nearly 20,000 yuan in his hands, and he doesn't know if it is enough to buy a piece of land for his mother to be buried.
He Shu entered the funeral home and saw a bearded man playing on the computer behind the counter.
The store sells many funeral supplies and even paper-made household appliances.
He Shu looked at the various urns placed on the shelf in front of him. They all looked very high-end and much better than his mother's.
"You want to buy..." The boss raised his head and greeted him habitually, but when he saw that it was a student, he paused and said, "What do you want?"
"Boss, do you sell cemeteries here?"
"Cemetery? For sale." The boss stood up and walked out of the counter: "Who are you buying it for?"
"To my mother."
"Oh." The boss looked at He Shu, a boy who looked very clean.
"What price range do you want to buy? There are two cemeteries in Danhe now, one is in Shiqingshan, and the other is the newly developed Tiantangyuan. There are more tombs to choose from there, but the price is also higher."
The boss has been working in this profession for many years
He took out two brochures introducing the cemetery and showed them to He Shu. In them, the structure, size, surrounding scenery and so on of the cemetery were all introduced.
The newly developed one did have better scenery, but He Shu looked down at the price list and saw that a medium-sized one would cost thirty to fifty thousand.
He was troubled because he didn't have enough money.
The one from Shi Qingshan is relatively cheaper, and there are even ones that cost ten thousand yuan, but there is no picture on it, so I don’t know what it looks like.
“Can I go and see for myself?”
The boss scratched his eyebrows. He Shu didn't look like a customer who could afford to pay too much, and he might not buy even if he looked at the items.
In the past, the boss was too lazy to take this kind of business.
"Which one do you want to see?"
"It's... from Shi Qingshan."
"It takes nearly two hours to drive to Shiqing Mountain, so we definitely can't go today. If you want to see it, leave me your contact information and I'll come over when I'm not busy."
He Shu was a little surprised. It takes two hours to drive? So far?
"It's cheap because it's so remote and inconvenient to go there for worship. To tell you the truth, the cheapest places are all in remote corners where you can't even see the sun."
"Okay then, I'll think about it. Thanks for bothering you, boss."
He Shu clenched his fists, picked up his luggage bag and schoolbag and left the store.
After returning home, He Shu touched his mother's urn. He wanted to choose a good one for his mother that he could visit often, but he was still short of money.
I don’t know how long I can save up the three or two hundred yuan that He Zhicheng gives me every month.
The idea of working and earning money came into He Shu's mind.
While washing the sheets, He Shu was thinking about what he could do.
He has two days a week to work, but he is still a minor and many places will not hire him, not to mention that he can only work two days a week.
Even after he washed the sheets and school uniform and cooked noodles for himself, He Shu still couldn't figure out what he could do.
He could only temporarily calm down and stay up late to do his homework. He planned to go out for a walk tomorrow.
The next morning, He Shu changed out of his school uniform and tried hard to make himself look more mature.
Then I left home and walked around the city, trying to find a temporary job.
But his face looked too young and his body was too thin, and he looked like a minor at first glance. Moreover, he could only work two days on weekends, so many stores rejected him.
Just when He Shu was feeling a little frustrated, he suddenly spotted a job advertisement posted outside a car maintenance and repair shop.
