(3) On the elder brother's prodigal family
Before the age of eleven, Shao Junling never took any money, but not having any money doesn't mean he has no idea about money.
After his parents died, Shao Junling wandered in his hometown for several months. He suffered from hunger, cold, rummaging through trash cans and stealing things.
From then on, he knew that all food, clothing, and use had to be exchanged for money.
Later, a kind uncle in police uniform took him to Haicheng and sent him to Jingxue Orphanage.
In the orphanage, children can get basic guarantees of food, clothing and education. If they are lucky, they may also be adopted by adults from outside.
During those few years, Shao Junling learned what was expensive and what was cheap, who looked like rich people, and who were ordinary people from the contact with others.
It is definitely good to be adopted, because once adopted, it means that you can get more resources, even if those adults may have other children, the competition will be much less than in an orphanage. And being adopted by a rich person is definitely a blessing like winning a big prize, which is equivalent to turning a grass chicken into a phoenix, a carp leaping over a dragon's gate, and changing your destiny from then on.
The children in the orphanage who have seen countless people have sharper insight than ordinary children, so when an uncle in a suit and leather shoes appeared in the orphanage, Shao Junling was almost pierced by the envious eyes of others.
Unbeknownst to them, that uncle was just Yoon-dong's life assistant, and the man who really wanted to adopt him sat in a fancy car and looked richer than the first uncle.
Shao Junling originally thought that Uncle Yin would be the richest person he had ever met in his life, until he met Yin Chang.
After Uncle Yin died in a plane crash, his elder brother inherited all of his uncle's property and replaced his uncle as the richest person in Shao Junling's eyes.
However, my brother is really, very, very prodigal...
When I first brought him home, my brother bought things online with his mobile phone almost every day, receiving five or six packages a day.
Regardless of the simple clothes my brother wears every day, Shao Junling found out later that a T-shirt for my brother costs several thousand—thousands of dollars. In his hometown village, he can buy thousands of steamed buns. If he only eats three Meat buns are enough for him to eat for several years—and my brother has a lot of that kind of T-shirts, and he changes them regularly.
In addition to T-shirts, my brother also has many shirts and beautiful cuff buttons. Those buttons are like gems, and each one looks very expensive.
My brother seldom wears any decorations. Once Shao Junling came home from school on the weekend and saw his brother wearing a string of platinum bracelets. The bracelet was inlaid with sapphires. The color was similar to the eyes of his brother. It was very beautiful.
The next day, Shao Junling saw a photo of this bracelet in a luxury magazine on his brother's bedside table, and realized that the bracelet cost more than half a million... But throughout the year, he didn't see his brother wearing it a few times.
Although my elder brother will buy him toys, clothes and shoes like his uncle, the difference is that my elder brother often buys a lot at once. For example, before going to school in Deyin, my elder brother bought him dozens of clothes, four or five pairs shoe. He thinks the sneakers are still good to wear, but some are old, and his brother will give him new ones. In order to apologize to him, his brother actually gave him two big boxes full of Lego and model toys. Even Xue Ziwen's parents and little uncle would not buy him so much!
Later, Shao Junling understood that people like my brother, who had never been short of money since childhood, really didn't care about money.
Uncle Yin's inheritance is just a string of numbers to his brother, he can spend it as he likes, and he doesn't make long-term plans at all.
I heard that my brother wanted to keep half of the property to himself, but Shao Junling never coveted the money. He didn't tell his brother that he didn't want it, because he was very worried that his brother would run out of money before he was able to support his family. There is still half of the money left for life guarantee.
In order to prevent his brother from spending money faster than he can make money when he grows up, he also has to plan early.
In Deyin, Shao Junling met Xue Ziwen, Luo Pengtao, Ji Han and other rich classmates. In order to seek his protection, those classmates would take the initiative to give him protection money. Shao Junling knew that life was not easy and would not refuse anyone who came.
After collecting protection fees for several months, I finally saved hundreds of dollars from my private house, but my brother found out! The elder brother seriously educated him, ordered him not to accept any more, and said that if he lacked money, he could ask the other party... Hey, this stupid brother who spends money like water, Uncle Yin probably doesn't have enough money for himself.
However, when Yin Chang gave him money, Shao Junling still took it all. He would save any lucky money and pocket money to prevent problems before they happened.
Later, he participated in the Mathematical Olympiad and earned the first money in his life - a bonus of 1,000 yuan!
Shao Junling was so happy that he decided to study hard, work hard, use knowledge to change his destiny, and support his brother.
By the time Shao Junling was in the third year of junior high school, he already had a small treasury of nearly 100,000 yuan.
That year, Shao Junling and a classmate named Fu Yanyue were at the same table and became good friends.
The Fu family also has a large family business, mainly in the field of bank credit. Fu Yanyue listens to his father and elder brother talking about financial matters at home every day, and knows a lot of things.
He told Shao Junling that money stored in the bank would only depreciate in value, so it had to be invested and let the money make money by itself, otherwise it would be worthless after a few years.
After Shao Junling returned home, he asked Yin Chang suggestively, "Brother, where do you usually keep your money?"
Yin Changxin said, where else to put the money, of course it is the "bank". He was watching a drama at the time, so he casually replied "the bank", and then asked, "Why are you asking this?"
Shao Junling organized the knowledge he heard from Fu Yanyue, and made up a lie: "We study inflation and deflation in class, and the teacher said that money will depreciate in the bank."
Yin Chang secretly smiled, thinking that this kid is still worried about this at such a young age: "Don't worry, my brother has been handed over to a special person."
Shao Junling asked: "Who is the special person?"
Yin Chang: "It's a person who manages money."
Shao Junling's heart tightened, and he remembered that Fu Yanyue had told him before that the Fu family was also in the business of helping people manage their money, but the financial planners were also very smart, they helped the rich manage their money, and actually earned a lot of money as commissions.
Therefore, when Yin Chang said "a person who manages money", in Shao Junling's mind, he was equivalent to "a person who earns money from his brother".
... Hey, it seems that we still have to rely on him in the future!
Many years later (Shao Junling has not yet graduated), when Yin Chang learned of the amount in Shao Junling's small treasury, he was shocked: "Where did you get so much money?"
Shao Junling worried, "How much?"
Small riches depend on frugality, big riches depend on heaven, his little money is only enough for his brother to eat, not enough for Yin Chang to change into new clothes for a few years... Brother really is not easy to raise.
(4) suitor
After "Super Star Life" hit the air, Shao Junling had a suitor.
In elementary school, most of the girls' pursuits were playful. After all, they were young and didn't know what love was. Maybe some girls felt that getting to know Shao Junling was something worth showing off, so they often got together and pointed at him. point.
The first time Shao Junling was confessed to by a girl face to face was in the third grade of elementary school.
That girl was said to be the "class flower" of their class, and she sat diagonally across from him. In fact, Shao Junling felt very ordinary. Anyway, she was not as beautiful as his brother, and her skin was not as white as his brother's. She was even worse than Qin Xifeng.
But that girl was very cheerful and had a very unrestrained personality. She declared in front of the whole class that she liked Shao Junling and wanted to be his girlfriend.
It was as if Shao Junling had been publicly executed, his face flushed with embarrassment, and he fled after saying "I don't want a girlfriend".
He is not afraid of the gangsters in the orphanage who trouble him, nor the boys in the gymnasium who want to fight him, but he is afraid of the kind of girls who have no ill intentions towards him.
Classmate Hua persevered. He not only gave him beautiful automatic pens and erasers, but also bought him snacks. He smiled every day when he saw him.
At that time, Shao Junling lived like a year. Every day he saw that girl, he ran away. He finished the courses of the third and fourth grades at the fastest speed, and jumped directly to the fifth grade, so as to avoid the other party's pursuit...
After entering junior high school, at the age of thirteen or fourteen, it is the age of first love. Boys are subconsciously willing to serve girls, and girls start to feel shy when they see boys. As a small celebrity, Shao Junling caused a little sensation when he first entered school.
But when he first entered junior high school, he was still at a disadvantage due to his height. The seats in the class were arranged according to height, and he was placed at the first table.
A girl who was curious about him rushed to his class to watch him, and took a look at the door—how could Shao Junling be so short! ? So he left angrily.
But that year, Shao Junling had fewer suitors, but more girls who wanted to meet his brother through him.
When he was in elementary school, Shao Junling also met girls who asked him about his brother, but at that time they were purely curious, and occasionally asked Shao Junling to go back and ask for Yin Chang's autograph, and Shao Junling would also help.
But it was different in junior high school, those girls almost wrote the word "Nympho" on their foreheads, and every day, Shao Junling could find several love letters written "Received by Yin Chang" from his desk.
Despite his reluctance, Shao Junling still acted as a messenger.
That night, Shao Junling waited for Yin Chang to take a shower before he took the letter out of his schoolbag: "Brother, my classmate gave it to you."
Yin Chang glanced at it while wiping his hair, realized what it was, and said with a smile, "Take it apart for me."
Seeing that his brother's hands were still wet, Shao Junling helped to take them apart, and Yin Chang said, "Read it to me."
Shao Junling: "..."
"Yin Chang, since the first time I saw you, I have liked you very much..." He read a few words, his face flushed red.
Yin Chang looked at him with a smile, couldn't help but hugged him up, and teased him, "Are you embarrassed at the beginning? It seems that you have grown up! Tell me, is there any girl who wrote you a love letter?"
"No!" Shao Junling couldn't bear the shame and indignation, he flung himself into his brother's arms for a while, wishing he could dig a hole and bury himself.
After that, Shao Junling never worked as a messenger again, not only that, he also became inexplicably hostile to those girls...Anyway, anyone who tried to disturb his brother through him would be merciless and wiped out!
In the winter vacation of the third year of junior high school, Shao Junling went to Fu Yanyue's house as a guest, and accidentally bumped into Fu Yanyue's elder brother kissing a man in the car. Shao Junling returned home in a daze, and that night, he had a very shameful dream with his brother in his arms...
At that moment, Shao Junling finally understood where his hostility towards those girls came from.
