Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

After dinner in the evening, Gu Jiu, Chen Fei and others went home first.

Gu Chen was responsible for sending Xiaofen back. In the old city area of ​​Yangcheng, some alleys were not accessible by cars.

Gu Chen helped carry the gifts he bought for Xiaofen, as well as the gifts he brought from his hometown in the provincial capital, and walked Xiaofen home.

The street lights are not too bright, but the atmosphere is just right.

The two walked on the road in silence, and it seemed that they could hear each other's heartbeat and breathing.

Xiao Fen looked at Gu Chen holding the gift bag and said guiltily, "I made you spend money today."

Gu Chen tilted his head and smiled at her lovingly: "It's not a big deal. I work hard to make money so that my family can spend money without any scruples."

When Xiaofen heard the word "family", her heartbeat quickened and her face turned red. "You are the most amazing person I have ever met. You have already achieved success in your career while you are still in school."

Gu Chen changed the two hands holding the bags to the other hand, reached out and rubbed her hair, and said softly: "We grew up in different environments. We men need to arm ourselves with our careers. Only when we grow up can we have the confidence to bring happiness to the girl we like."

Xiaofen didn't quite understand what he meant, but from her perspective, she felt that there was something wrong with what he said, "Happiness shouldn't be measured by money, right?"

"My silly girl, a marriage without an economic foundation will end in a mess."

Although money is not omnipotent, a man without money will have no courage. He will be timid in doing anything outside and will hardly achieve anything.

In her previous life, when Xiaofen first followed him, she had to budget carefully every day for the sake of her family's life, and her life was quite hard.

Later, when his career gradually took off, she dared to spend money as she pleased. Her mental state also became better and better, with a rosy complexion.

A man raising his lover is like a gardener raising flowers. How can he raise beautiful flowers without a financial foundation?

Xiaofen tilted her head and thought about it, remembering how her mother lived frugally for the family, while the Gu family, whether it was Lin Shu or Gu Qi, never seemed to consider anything else when spending money, they just bought what they liked.

This feeling is addictive.

A sharp whistle interrupted Xiaofen's thoughts.

"Su Xiaofen, you went out to play right after the winter break? Who is this? Your boyfriend?"

Four or five young men were standing at the entrance of the alley, puffing away smoke. One of them, who was standing in the front and speaking, had blond hair that was cut into long, thin strands that covered his eyes. He would toss his hair to the side when he looked at people.

This style is very avant-garde, and Gu Chen knows that this is the Shamatte style that became popular across the country later.

The hair is brightly colored and has a unique shape, like an afro, and is very popular among the young people of this era.

Gu Chen looked at the young men, all wearing the same flared jeans, riveted tops, and each of them had a metal chain around their neck.

"What are you guys doing here? Why aren't you going home so late at night? Are you planning to go to the dance hall to dance disco?" Xiaofen asked.

Disco dance halls have become popular in Guangzhou in recent years. The party starts at 9 or 10 pm and ends in the early morning. It is the favorite place for young people in society to go at night.

Xiaofen introduced to Gu Chen in a low voice: "The person who just spoke is a cousin of mine from the same clan. He lives not far from my home."

After Gu Chen heard the explanation, he looked at them again, and his hostility was not so obvious. When the young men walked in front of him, he stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, I am Xiao Fen's friend Gu Chen, what's your name?"

The young man at the front looked at him curiously when he saw him stretch out his hand, then stretched out his hand nonchalantly and shook it gently, "Su Bin, you can also call me Binzai, Xiaofen is my sister."

What I mean is that I will protect my sister. If you dare to have bad intentions towards her, I’ll beat you to death.

Gu Chen glanced at the young men behind him meaningfully and said with a smile, "Xiao Fen is my friend. We are both students, and our relationship is for mutual progress. I can answer any questions you have about your studies."

So, what are you worried about me?

Unlike those street urchins behind you, frequent contact with Xiaofen will only lead her astray.

Even though Xiaofen was standing nearby and had a thick nerve, she could still hear the tension between the two of them.

"Brother Bin, he is my friend for many years. This time they came to Yangcheng, and I just had a meal with his family. His family will come to visit my house in a few days. My dad is very familiar with his family."

When Su Bin heard that his cousin knew his family, he was relieved. It would be easy if both parents knew each other. What he feared most was that his little cousin would be deceived by a boy outside.

"Okay, it's getting late, you should go back quickly. Be careful if you run into any street thugs outside."

Gu Chen couldn't help but smile. The most typical street urchin was right in front of him.

After separating from Su Bin and the others, the street lights inside were even dimmer.

Gu Chen said casually: "You seem to trust your cousin quite a lot."

"We grew up together and we are all relatives. He can't harm me."

This made Gu Chen even more worried. "He may not have any intention to harm you, but his friends may not. In the future, you should spend less time with them, especially if they invite you out to play. Don't go out with them. After all, they are young people in society now."

With the reform and opening up, many young people in society now have a lot of fun, which is not something student girls can participate in.

Xiaofen pursed her lips and nodded in agreement, "I know, Brother Bin and I don't usually interact, we just say hello when we meet."

When the Su family heard a knock on the door, they saw that it was Gu Chen who had brought Xiaofen back. They warmly invited him to come in and sit down and have a drink of water before leaving.

Unable to refuse the kind invitation, Gu Chen sat down on the wooden sofa in the living room and then noticed the notebooks and newspapers with lottery information on the coffee table.

He looked at Su Aiguo in surprise: "Uncle, do you like buying lottery tickets?"

Su Aiguo poured him a cup of tea and smiled shyly: "It has just become popular in the past few years. I have nothing to do but think about it. If I really win a prize one day, I won't have to worry about my family's life anymore."

Gu Chen was speechless after hearing what he said. To win something as intangible as the lottery, one must have accumulated good karma through ancestors.

How many mortals can succeed?

"My dad recently set up a factory to produce electric bicycles and opened a direct-sale store in Yangcheng. If my uncle wants to improve the life of our family, why not find a store and open an electric bicycle store?"

Su Aiguo always smiled in front of Gu Chen. When he heard that he was going to open a store, he naturally became interested. "Okay, okay, a few years ago, you suggested that I open a home appliance stall, and the business has been good. Although I have saved some money over the years, it is still not enough to buy a better house."

If we add another electric bicycle stall...

Su Aiguo reacted, "Chenzi, the electric bicycle you are talking about is a bit like a motorcycle, but without the roaring sound?"

A few days ago, he saw a man riding a bicycle passing by him on the street, which scared him.

It suddenly rushes past you silently, which is very scary.

"Yes, my father's factory has opened a direct-sale store in Yangcheng. It has been about two months. Now is the time to promote it. You can write an application to my father's factory."
