Rebirth of the Millennial: Getting Rich After Parents Get Laid Off

Chapter 7: Encouraging my uncle to buy stocks

Li Xunli walked to the stove and saw the chopped green peppers and the finely mixed egg liquid. She found a wet kitchen cloth to cover the lid of the casserole, then lifted it up to look inside.

The thick and fragrant potato and chicken wings soup lies neatly in the casserole.

The smell of mushroom chicken soup coming from the pressure cooker next to it is even more tempting.

"You did all this?" Li Xunli still couldn't believe it. "Isn't your dad back?"

Shen Qingqing shook her head proudly: "Of course not! I did it all by myself. I got home at 4:30. What do you think? I'm awesome, right?"

Shen Qingqing said seriously and sincerely: "Mom, look, I've grown up. Not only can I cook, I can also take good care of my sister. Although I can't take care of my brother for the time being, my brother is also well taken care of at grandma's house."

"Dad will be home after get off work, and we sisters won't be the only ones at home at night."

"There's actually no problem at all for you to work in Shancheng!"

Li Xunli's eyes were slightly red, and she looked at Shen Qingqing with mixed feelings.

Not long after, Shen Rongzhou also came back and brought the good news that the contract was signed successfully and the company was reliable.

When she learned from Li Xunli that Shen Qingqing could actually cook, she was so surprised that she couldn't stop smiling.

"She's really worthy of being my daughter!"

Shen Qingqing was in a good mood and went to the dining table. She took over the task of taking care of Shen Yangyang's meals from her mother very forcefully.

"Delicious! Sister is so awesome!" Shen Yangyang grabbed the chicken wings with both hands and gnawed on them until her cheeks were covered with mashed potatoes.

In fact, Shen Yangyang is already four years old and is completely capable of eating by herself. The only problem is that she can't reach the food.

Li Xunli hasn't had a proper meal at the dinner table for a long time since she gave birth to a child.

After dinner, Shen Rongzhou went to wash the dishes, and Shen Qingqing volunteered to give Shen Yangyang a bath.

The weather is still very hot now. Shen Qingqing is not afraid that Shen Yangyang will catch a cold when giving her a bath, so she dares to take on this job.

Li Xunli was completely worried because the bathroom floor was slippery. If the two children fell while fighting in it, it would be a big problem.

She wanted to stop her, but Shen Rongzhou understood why his daughter had suddenly changed so much. Sighing that he hadn't tried hard enough, he stopped Li Xunli and said, "Just let Qingqing try. She's seven years old. When we were seven, weren't we the ones cutting the grass to feed the pigs and geese at home?"

"But..." Li Xunli wanted to say something.

Shen Qingqing didn't say anything, picked up Shen Yangyang and went into the bathroom.

Li Xunli stood at the bathroom door, listening to the sisters' laughter coming from the bathroom, accompanied by exclamations from time to time, but there was no heart-wrenching crying.

Li Xunli didn't have to wait too long. Shen Yangyang, who had been given a bath similar to the one she usually gave her, was pushed out by Shen Qingqing.

Shen Qingqing held her head high: "Mom, you can rest assured this time!"

Tears welled up in Li Xunli's eyes and she nodded repeatedly with a complicated expression.

She thought that her daughter's change was ultimately due to the family's lack of money. She shouldn't hesitate any longer. For the sake of her hardworking daughter, she had to give it a try!
Shen Qingqing's actions were very effective, and her mother decided to accept the job in Shancheng!

When Li Xunli went to her grandmother's house to pick up Shen Hong in the evening, she took the initiative to talk to Li Xunjin about work.

"Sister, I will go to Shancheng with you on Saturday and Sunday to check out that job." Li Xunjin was very concerned about this matter when he learned that his sister agreed to go.

Li Yuxing added, "Since you're going to Shancheng, why not stop by and visit your aunt and uncle? They've lived in Shancheng for a long time, so maybe they can help."

Li Xunjin thought about it and agreed.

Shen Qingqing listened carefully to what Li Xunjin said, and tried hard to recall whether Li Xunjin had a classmate like this in his previous life.

This is a very important change for her mother, and she doesn't want any accidents to happen.

"Uncle, the college classmate you mentioned, is he the Uncle Hong who came to our house to invite you to a banquet after his wedding last year?" Shen Qingqing thought about the few friends around her uncle that she could barely remember and decided to ask them one by one.

Li Xunjin was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "No, do you still remember that fat uncle who wore glasses and always liked to pinch your face?"

Fat, glasses, and a pinched face, these three elements were all present. Shen Qingqing easily remembered who this person was.

Shen Qingqing lived with her grandparents, that is, her uncle's house, until she was six years old. Before Li Chunchun was born, she was the only child in both families.

So when many of my uncle's friends come to our house, they always like to play with her.

One of the most outrageous ones was this fat uncle with glasses, who kept pinching her face, until Shen Qingqing got angry, and then he kept pinching her again!
The key point is that this man looks very fierce and is very strong, and the young Shen Qingqing has no way to hide from him.

When I asked adults for help, they thought I was just teasing the kids and didn't take it seriously.

Later, after this uncle started his own business, he really didn't come here often.

But the shadow of childhood cannot be erased in an instant. After growing up in her previous life, Shen Qingqing was still very afraid of this type of man: "Is this uncle's company that Mom wants to go to?"

Li Xunjin was amused when he saw that her expression was not right, knowing that she had remembered. "Yes, a classmate I am not very familiar with, how could I dare to introduce him to your mother?" Now, Li Xunli also knew which classmate of her brother it was.

Because we had interacted frequently before and everyone in the family knew each other, the atmosphere immediately became relaxed.

However, Shen Qingqing secretly called her uncle away, and the uncle and nephew went upstairs one after another.

"Qingqing, what do you want to do by calling your uncle up here?" Li Xunjin happily carried Shen Qingqing to the sofa.

Shen Qingqing sat down on the sofa, looked at her uncle sitting next to her, and said shockingly: "Uncle, I want to buy stocks."

Li Xunjin was stunned for a moment, but he didn't blame Shen Qingqing for making trouble. Instead, he smiled and said, "You know what stocks are at such a young age?"

Shen Qingqing nodded proudly: "Of course I know! I saw it in the school newspaper today! I want to buy A shares!"

When the word "A shares" was mentioned, Li Xunjin was surprised. He didn't expect that Shen Qingqing really knew it.

"Uncle~ please~ I brought all my New Year's money today! Just buy it for me!" Shen Qingqing threw herself on Li Xunjin's thighs and looked at him pitifully.

Li Xunjin studied business in college. After starting his own company, he would occasionally try his hand at stocks, but he lost more often than he won, so over time he seldom bought stocks.

However, buying less does not mean not paying attention. When he heard Shen Qingqing talking about A-shares, he also knew about it.

Among the more than 1,000 A-shares, many have seen an increase of more than 100%.

However, last year's stock market downturn is still fresh in people's memory, and Li Xunjin really doesn't dare to invest money in it.

"Qingqing, do you know how dangerous the stock market is? Your New Year's money is saved year after year. If you are not careful, it will all be gone. Can you bear it?" Li Xunjin did not agree to Shen Qingqing's request.

Shen Qingqing said without hesitation, "I saw it in the newspaper! High risk means high returns! I'm not buying too much. I can spend my New Year's money now, and I'll get more in the future! But this is the only chance to make money. If you miss it, it's gone!"

"Look! Five hundred yuan! It's definitely enough to buy stocks!" Shen Qingqing took out her New Year's money.

"Uncle, you will definitely buy stocks, right? I want to buy some! Please buy them for me!" Shen Qingqing started to act coquettishly again.

Li Xunjin was so pestered by her that he could only pretend to accept her New Year's money and said, "Okay, okay, uncle will buy it for you. You can leave the money with uncle first. I will buy it for you when I am free."

Shen Qingqing is not a real child, how can these words coax her?

"No! Buy it now! I saw on TV that you can buy stocks using a computer! Uncle, you also have a computer, so please buy it for me now!" Shen Qingqing jumped off the sofa, grabbed Li Xunjin's hands with both hands and pulled him up.

Li Xunjin didn't expect that Shen Qingqing could not be coaxed, and he had always been very fond of Shen Qingqing.

In desperation, he had to take Shen Qingqing back to the master bedroom and start the computer in front of her.

Computers at that time were still those big-bottomed desktop computers, just like televisions.

Even the notebooks were thick, almost as thick as two thin and light laptops in later generations.

Shen Qingqing sat beside him excitedly and watched him operate.

The computer started up, and the long-lost WinXP desktop jumped out. Shen Qingqing was a little dazed.

Li Xunjin was thinking that after entering the stock market page, the operation was complicated and Shen Qingqing wouldn't be able to tell whether he had bought anything or not, so he would just fool around when the time came.

Shen Qingqing didn't know what her uncle was thinking. As soon as the page jumped in, she quickly searched for the stocks of the banks mentioned in the newspaper. Unexpectedly, she also saw Moutai stocks!

Shen Qingqing carefully selected two stocks, pointed at the computer screen with her little finger and said to Li Xunjin, "Uncle, I want to buy these two stocks!"

Li Xunjin entered the stock market today and unexpectedly found that many stocks were popular.

After seeing the two stocks that Shen Qingqing had chosen, he looked at Shen Qingqing in surprise.

I was hesitant: Was this just a coincidence that my niece pointed at me, or...

"Uncle! Uncle! Buy it for me quickly!" Shen Qingqing waved five hundred yuan in front of Li Xunjin frantically.

Looking at the popular computer screen, Li Xunjin felt a long-lost desire in his heart.

Or...why don't he try buying it with his little niece?
"Okay, uncle will buy it for you right away. Just give me the money." Li Xunjin stretched out his hand and motioned Shen Qingqing to hand the money to him.

Shen Qingqing gave it to him without hesitation, and then pointed to the stocks selected on the computer: "Uncle, look carefully, these are the two!"

"Okay, uncle got it!" Amidst Shen Qingqing's repeated urging and the red light on the computer screen, Li Xunjin threw aside his previous idea of ​​trying to fool people.

With the bulky desktop computer and slow wired broadband, Shen Qingqing felt a little anxious watching the circles spinning on the transaction page.

When the words "Transaction successful" finally popped up, Shen Qingqing smiled with satisfaction.

"Thank you uncle!"
