002 Preparation
Seeing Lin Jie sitting there holding chopsticks, his mother Liu Caixia sighed and then took out two bills from her pocket.
"Xiaojie, tomorrow is the weekend, so you can relax. This is two dollars, take it to the park."
As he said that, Liu Caixia handed the two one-yuan coins in her hand to Lin Jie.
Mother Liu Caixia knew the situation of her son very well.
In his eyes, her son is very sensible and never causes trouble, which is very gratifying.
But the only point is that my son is a little stupid. Although he is very hard at studying, his academic performance has always been average because he is not smart.
As a mother, Liu Caixia does not want to force Lin Jie to get into college. In contrast, she only hopes that her son will grow up healthily.
Seeing the two wrinkled one-yuan pieces on the table, Lin Jie originally wanted to refuse. But after thinking about it, he still reached out to take the money.
"Eat quickly, the food will be cold later."
Liu Caixia smiled and picked up a piece of roasted eggplant into Lin Jie's bowl.
After dinner, Lin Jie came to a small table, opened his schoolbag, and took out today's homework.
Looking at the homework book on the table, Lin Jie did not start writing, but fell into deep thought.
It's 1999, and it's 20 years away from his previous life. So since he has come here, what can he do?
Take the college entrance examination in a proper manner and continue to study. Just like in the previous life, what kind of biotechnology company should I set up?
"No! Since God asked me to live again, I would never want to live the same life again! Besides, even if I want to build a biological company with the current conditions, it would be unrealistic."
Shaking his head, Lin Jie rejected the idea.
But what can he do other than that?
In his spare time, he has also read novels. Most of the people who are reborn in the novel have a system. The worst thing is that they have to make some music movies.
Lin Jie didn't have the system, and it was not impossible for music and movies. However, it was still a bit unrealistic for him now. The worst thing is that if you want to buy a guitar or even record a song, you also need funds.
In this era, people's average salary was only more than 300 yuan, and her mother was a little weak and was not suitable for working in a factory. So she worked as a nanny, which was only just 200 yuan a month.
Even though her father Lin Gang works in the city, he is also a construction handyman at the bottom. Although he earns more than ordinary factory workers, he only costs more than 300 yuan.
As a result, Lin Jie's family income is only more than 500 yuan a month. This amount of money is just used to make a living, which is very nervous.
In this case, he can only rely on himself to change his current life.
"Perhaps, starting from small things may not be a bad thing." After retracting his thoughts, Lin Jie picked up the ballpoint pen on the table.
Although I haven't read the books in high school for more than ten years, how can I stump a doctoral student like Lin Jie? I finished my homework in a few seconds and went to bed early to rest.
The next day was the weekend. When Lin Jie woke up, he found that his mother Liu Caixia had gone out. It seemed that as she said yesterday, after being fired by her employer, she was about to find a new job today.
"Since you're here, let's go as you please!"
Looking at the room in front of him, Lin Jie sighed.
The room is very simple. There is only a set of cabinets and a small refrigerator outside of a double bed and a sofa. Even the tables for eating and studying are folded because the area of the room is too small.
After folding the quilt, Lin Jie walked out of the house.
As soon as I left the house, a simple sense of the times came into my eyes.
It was still past seven o'clock in the morning, and countless large armies riding bicycles drove past Lin Jie in a mighty manner.
They were riding older bicycles, and occasionally a few looked better in style, and most of their owners were young people. These people were riding bicycles while talking and laughing.
There is a large factory near Lin Jie's house. At this time, it is the peak period for work. In this era, work usually takes single or even one-and-even, and few units have double-night breaks. Therefore, even on Saturdays, there is no reduction in the number of people working.
Looking back on the busy traffic of his era, when we look at the scene in front of us, Lin Jie felt that the air was fresher.
He reached into his pocket and Lin Jie took out a few paper money.
Five...Six...7...8...
12 yuan, plus the gift given by his mother Liu Caixia yesterday, Lin Jie's current assets are only 14 yuan.
"It seems that this kid is a little stupid, but he still knows how to save money."
Looking at the money in his hand, Lin Jie smiled.
There is a small market near Lin Jie's home, which is not large in scale, but the sparrow is small but has all the internal organs. Putting the money in your pocket, Lin Jie walked towards the market.
An hour later, Lin Jie walked back with bags of all sizes in his hand.
When he walked to the door, a middle-aged man saw Lin Jie holding so many things and couldn't help asking: "I said Xiaojie, do you buy so many things? Is your dad going to come back today?"
When he looked up, Lin Jie recognized that he was their neighbor, and he was also a friend of his father, Guo Ping. He usually called him Uncle Guo.
"No, I'm going to buy something useful." Shaking my head, Lin Jie said with a smile: "By the way, Uncle Guo, can you lend me your welding to use later?"
"Is there anything broken in your house? I'll help you repair it!" Guo Ping asked enthusiastically after hearing Lin Jie's words.
Shaking his head, Lin Jie said, "No need for Uncle Guo, I can do it myself."
"Okay, this is the key, the electric welding is in the small shed." He took out a bunch of keys and untied one. Guo Ping did not forget to instruct: "Be careful when using it, don't burn it."
"Okay, Uncle Guo, don't worry!" After taking the key, Lin Jie turned around and returned home.
Putting the things I bought, Lin Jie came out and went to the backyard of the house.
The buildings where Lin Jie lives are all old-fashioned three-story buildings, but they were different in his previous life. Because the building density is not large, there is a long one-story bungalow behind each building.
This small bungalow is not used for people to live in, but for these residents to put things in. The bungalows are separated by small rooms, and basically each family can be divided into one. Each house has a small cellar in the small shed, which is used to store vegetables in winter.
After opening the small shed of Guo Ping's house, Lin Jie took out the electric welding tool. Then he came to his small shed, and took out a small cart and some iron plates that were usually useless.
After preparing all the things, Lin Jie took these things to his window. Since he lived on the first floor, Lin Jie quickly connected the welded plug to his own socket.
"It's funny to think about it. I miss Lin Jie, and I can only start with this in this life."
