Travel Plans

As the saying goes—

Rome wasn't built in a day.

A fat person isn't made in a single bite.

To solve the Lin family's current predicament, it's actually very simple—money can do it.

But the reality is always that 'losing hair is easier than losing poverty, and getting rich is harder than getting fat.' Ninety percent of the world's troubles can actually be solved with money, and the remaining ten percent can be solved with a lot, a lot of money.

Lin Xiaowei said she'd given Li Yao a cheat, so money wasn't a problem.

Yes,

The problem is, Li Yao has no money.

So Li Yao was trying to figure out how to make money, preferably fast money. He spent a week thinking about it. In that week, he watched a lot of anime, kept himself supplied with ice-cold sugary soda, and found that burgers and snacks were still delicious. He didn't know why, but Li Yao felt like his appetite had increased recently. It just so happened that Lin Xiaowei was on a mission recently, and to ensure her condition, she didn't go online.

So Li Yao completely let himself go, and even became a little lax in his meditation and analysis of circuits.

This day, he was lying on the sofa watching TV and browsing novels.

Suddenly, he sat up from the sofa, his eyes lit up: "Wonderful!"

He was reading a novel in which the protagonist signed a contract with a super-powered cat, and thus also gained superpowers. His superpower was a brief pause in time, and when he was short of money, he used this ability to enjoy a wave of winning at a casino in Macau. The roulette gambling was described in relatively detailed.

Although he didn't have the almost BUG-like ability of 'pausing time' now, his Mage Hand could also control objects! How much does the ivory ball in roulette weigh?

He can handle it! The more Li Yao thought about it, the more excited he became. He jumped up from the sofa and paced back and forth in the living room with his hands behind his back: "Go to Macau! Riches are at hand!"

First, he had to tell his parents, and then apply for a permit to travel to Hong Kong and Macau.

As for the capital, he had a little over ten thousand from his part-time jobs and private tutoring over the past two years. It was enough to go to Macau. As long as he operated well, even if he only had a few hundred left in his pocket, he could turn things around.

Li Yao, who had been a salted fish for a week, was very motivated. He immediately called his parents: "Mom and Dad, I want to go to Macau to play!"

Li Jianguo and Zhang Yufeng were stunned: —Is this kid crazy?

But thinking that college students can't stay idle during the summer vacation, and that Macau, although a special administrative region, is also in the country and has decent public security, there was nothing to stop him, so they replied: "Go if you have money, anyway, the family doesn't have any."

Negative emotions from Li Yao +555…

It doesn't matter, other people's families are all about pitting their dads, but our family is special, usually pitting their sons.

Li Yao had gotten used to it over the years.

So Li Yao is very independent, otherwise, how could he have saved up over ten thousand while in school? He used to be sick and thought his parents were reliable.

Now that he's cured, he loves money.

Then he thought about the three animals in the dormitory eating more than a thousand of his…

Damn, his heart hurts so much.

Li Yao clutched his heart, endured the great heartache, and went out to the local administrative hall to apply for a permit to travel to Hong Kong and Macau. He had to make money! He must make money!

The efficiency of administrative agencies is not low now. Li Yao not only got his permit to travel to Hong Kong and Macau, but also applied for a passport.

After submitting all kinds of materials, he still had to wait a week to get his passport and permit.

In this way, a total of seven weeks of vacation was reduced by a third at once.

Li Yao had a inexplicable sense of urgency.

Then he continued to nest on the sofa, drinking ice-cold sugary soda and eating all kinds of snacks. Life was very beautiful, very beautiful.

Anyway, it was all money he earned himself, and his parents couldn't control him!

Ha, wonderful!

At this moment, Li Yao deeply realized the happiness that financial freedom brought him.

So, the consequence was that when his parents, who had been busy all day, returned home and saw Li Yao paralyzed on the sofa, they were furious: "Look at what you've done! You're just lying at home all day long. The adults in the family are almost exhausted from work, and when we come home, there's no hot food or drink. Tell me, what's the use of raising you so big! Huh?"

While saying this, his mother put on her apron and went into the kitchen, scolding Li Yao while cooking, and scolding his father along the way.

The whole house echoed with his mother's nagging.

Li Yao's eyes were straight, and he exchanged a glance with his father.

His dad's demeanor was calm and collected, a faint smile playing on his lips as if to say, You're still too young, kiddo. With that, he propped his legs up on the coffee table, pulled out his thermos filled with goji berries, and grabbed the newspaper, ready to enter his salted fish mode…

Mom: "Old Li! Are you dead?! Come help me peel garlic!"

"Okay, coming!"

His dad nimbly bounced up and dove into the kitchen.

Li Yao could guarantee that even his dad's superiors at work couldn't get him moving this quickly.

Heh, Li Yao sneered inwardly.

What did I do wrong to deserve eating your dog food here!!! I can't stay in this house anymore!...

A week later, Li Yao successfully obtained his permit and passport, and his luggage was almost packed. He was just waiting for tomorrow to set off.

But just then, Uncle Lin came to visit.

He even brought Lin Xiaoxi with him.

This made his mom overjoyed: "Perfect timing for dinner! You guys wait here, I'll whip up some dishes. Old Lin, please have a seat."

His mom turned and went into the kitchen, making a huge table of food, which made Old Lin feel embarrassed.

At the dinner table, his mom deliberately arranged for Lin Xiaoxi to sit next to Li Yao. Li Yao and Lin Xiaoxi exchanged a glance, both deciphering a sense of helplessness in each other's dead fish eyes. Li Yao became even more convinced that the reason Lin Xiaowei had gotten along so well with him back then was definitely to prevent this kind of situation from happening today!

At the dinner table, his mom and dad chatted enthusiastically with Uncle Lin, completely ignoring their own child.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Uncle Lin suddenly remembered something and slapped his forehead: "Old Li, don't keep pouring me wine! I've really had too much! I came to see Da Yao today."

His dad was relentless: "Old Lin, don't be silly! We've barely started!"

His dad's face was flushed and his neck was thick, his imposing manner reminiscent of a great general.

His mom kept cheering him on from the side: "That's right, Old Lin, don't be shy!"

Then she kept winking at his dad.

Li Yao was completely dumbfounded.

What's going on here?

Are you two plotting something by getting Uncle Lin drunk?

His daughter is right here watching!... Wait! Daughter?! Li Yao suddenly realized, Could it be that these two old folks are planning to get Uncle Lin drunk and then arrange a marriage or something? Look at their sneaky behavior, that must be it! I can't let these two treasures continue.

Li Yao stepped forward, taking on all of his parents' attacks, and asked: "Uncle Lin, what did you say you wanted to see me about?"

Look, here is a pitiful little sapling, can you still keep the recommendations, collections, and rewards in your hands! o(╥﹏╥)o
