Chapter 14 Parents

A set of simple mold manufacturing equipment costs tens of thousands of yuan (I don't know the price in 2001), and it costs about 20,000 yuan to buy a second-hand one. Han Bing himself can take out about 5,000 yuan, and Li Mo's money adds up to only 10,000 yuan, only half of the second-hand equipment, and what's the use of empty equipment? I still need to buy materials. The price of mold steel is very expensive. Where does the money come from?

Li Mo's mind was drowsy. He felt that he was about to be tortured crazy by money? I was just an ordinary person in my previous life, and I didn't know finance, technology, and I didn't know whether the stock rose or fell. No golden finger? When he was just reborn, Li Mo felt that everything was beautiful. The money must be rolling in, but the reality hit again and again, which made him regret it. Why didn't he learn more before rebirth? People without knowledge are pathetic.

Although Han Bing had promised the two to work together to do the mold business, Li Mo said that he would find a way to solve the problem of money, but God knew that Li Mo was just comforting Han Bing.

When it was almost dark, Han Bing went home first. Li Mo rubbed his swollen head and went into the kitchen to prepare for cooking. Li Mo knows how hard they are when their parents haven't come home yet. It's summer now. Li Mo can't stand the heat at home. There is no air conditioner, and only the electric fan can't relieve the heat at all. And how can the parents who work in the field stick to it?

Home! What a sacred and warm name, Li Mo has a new feeling at this moment. Aren't all the things his parents do for this family? Everyone wants to stay at home and play on a hot day, but people born in the countryside without diplomas and skills, what do you eat if you don't work? Li Mo was deeply aware of the hard work of making money, and he increasingly decided that no matter how difficult it was, he would continue this business, not only for his own ideals, but also for the family and the responsibility of being a member of the family.

When Li Mo cooked the rice, he cooked 4 dishes bought from the county. One meat, two vegetables and one soup. Enough for three people. Because grandpa lived alone after grandma's death. I'm in my 60s, but I'm in good health. Every year, in addition to the food that needs to be given to him by his father, the consumption is earned by himself. Li Mo knew that Grandpa had a big bamboo forest on the side of the road. Every year, Grandpa goes to sell money by himself. Bamboo alone can be sold for about 3,000 yuan a year, which is enough for a person to live. After all, the consumption in the countryside is not high, and there is no need to spend money on food and vegetables, and the expenditure is very small.

Half an hour later, my parents finally came home. Li Mo felt sad when he saw his mother in shabby clothes and a straw hat. He looks much older when he is less than 40 years old. His mother, Fang Yuxiang, is not tall, only more than 1.5 meters tall. Her work all year round makes her skin very dark. Li Mo knew that his mother was in poor health, but he still insisted on working every day. For what? Isn't it all for sons and daughters? Think about the women in the city in their 30s, when they are in their prime, while women born in the countryside sweat every day for a living...

"Dad, Mom, are you back!?" Putting down the concern in his heart, Li Mo greeted his mother with a smiling face and took the hoe on his mother's shoulder. Li Mo doesn't want his parents to see him feel uncomfortable, because his parents will also be sad. As parents, in addition to hoping that their children will become dragons, don't they all want their children to be healthy and happy?

"Xiao Mo, why are you back? It doesn't seem to be Saturday today, is it? Did you skip class? When the mother saw Li Mo, the surprise on her face came naturally. Although he asked with reproach, his eyes showed a happy light. After the father entered the room and sat down, he was silent. After hearing his mother's words, he also looked at himself with concern.

Li Mo had a sin in his heart. Since the last time I went to school, for more than two months, I haven't gone home except for two phone calls, and my parents don't know about the end of today's exam. After I was reborn, I got into the eyes of money, and I forgot such an important thing. After Li Mo explained it clearly, his parents really smiled happily. When his mother was enduring his tired body and preparing to cook, Li Mo suppressed his smile and did not show that he had done it. He wanted to surprise his parents. Although this is only a small thing, it is a small thing in life that can make his relatives happy, relieve mental fatigue, and adjust the pressure of the heavy burden of the family. Suppression. Don't let your parents work hard!

At the dinner table, Li Mo and his father opened a bottle of beer, which was the cheapest one for only one and twenty cents a bottle. I briefly talked to my parents about the school. My father was most concerned about his study. When he learned that his final exam results might be ranked in the top 50, his father looked at Li Mo with relief without any verbal praise, but it was enough for Li Mo.

Li Mo wondered whether to tell his parents about doing mold business. After all, if he wants to improve his family's life, he must have a proper way to make money. Otherwise, he will suddenly take out tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan in the future, and he won't scare his parents crazy. However, Li Mo knows the surname of his parents, which should be said to be the surname of his father. In this kind of event, the family is in charge of the father. After all, his father is a high school student. Although he did not go to college, more than a decade ago, high school students were cultural people. Perhaps in order to make up for his regret that he didn't go to college, his father was very strict with Li Mo's study. He would never let Li Mo focus on making money during this important period of high school. He would rather work harder than ruin his son's future because of temporary interests. Therefore, Li Mo thought about it and let's forget it. Let's talk about it later if there is a chance.

I had a warm dinner with my parents. Although my sister was not at home, all three of them could feel the happy atmosphere of reunion.

After taking a shower, Li Mo and his father moved out a cool bed, which is a single bed made of bamboo for summer cooling, about one meter wide and about two meters long. Grandpa is lying on a lounge chair, holding a fan, and patting mosquitoes and flies from time to time. Because it is very hot in summer, and Li Mo's village is halfway up the mountain. At night, the wind is relatively strong. Every man in the family will take a shower after dinner, wear a pair of trousers, and cool up in front of his house. I won't go back to bed until the temperature drops.

When I was a child, Li Mo's favorite was summer, lying in the cool ** looking at the clear sky, counting the stars, or pestering his grandfather to tell stories. Grandpa is illiterate, but his experience in his sixties makes Li Mo full of yearning, especially from the Anti-Japanese War to the Liberation War, and the experience after the establishment of New China, which can most arouse Xiao Li Mo's curiosity.

At eleven o'clock at night, Li Mo's parents are going back to their room to sleep and have to work tomorrow. Although Li Mo didn't want to, there was nothing he could do. After feeling his steamer-like room, Li Mo had to come out again and say, "Mom, I slept outside at night. It's too hot inside. It's unbearable."

"How to sleep outside? And it's easy to catch a cold. It's not a good thing to catch a cold in summer. His mother nagging for a long time, but Li Mo was unmoved. In desperation, his mother had to agree. Fang Yuxiang took out a brand-new blanket from the room and handed it to Li Mo, and asked Li Mo to put on his clothes, otherwise Li Mo would not be allowed to sleep outside.

When the light in his parents' room went out, Li Mo lay on the cool ** and covered the blanket.

There is no noise and dullness in the city, but the purity without pollution. A faint north wind blew by. In the hypnosis of knowing, Li Mo fell asleep.
