Looking at the 5,000 yuan stacked with one hundred and fifty bills in front of her, Zhou Xinglian's face was filled with happiness and satisfaction.
I have been practicing selling vegetables and fruits for a month. Excluding some daily expenses, medical expenses for my son's fight and 500 yuan compensation, the cost is 3,500 yuan. Now I have a total of 5,000 yuan, and there is still money left for today. There are some vegetables and fruits, as well as small change paper notes and steel coins.
Happy.
The couple bought pig head meat in the evening, which satisfied their appetite.
"Mom, please invite your aunt and fourth aunt over someday, cook some good food, and treat them as guests?"
Faced with her son's suggestion, Zhou Xinglian nodded, and Wei Tao saw the slightest hesitation: "It's a weekend, order less food, try to sell out the morning market, and don't go out in the afternoon."
"That's okay. I'll save a thousand yuan tomorrow. You can get two thousand five hundred yuan when you buy the goods, and I'll get one thousand five hundred yuan." Compared to my monthly income at work, which is less than six hundred yuan, even though it's harder now, I can have a good time with my son. Zhou Xinglian was very satisfied when he could earn more than 2,000 yuan a month.
"Mom, I think it's time to buy in more. We have a lot of repeat customers. The price reduction may conflict with other stalls, but we will pick out the good ones and sell them at normal prices. The remaining ones with not so good fur will be cheaper for us. Others can't say anything. Small profits but quick turnover. Earning 200 from selling a cart of vegetables in two or three days is really not as good as earning 180 from selling a cart of vegetables at a morning market. In this way, we can go home and rest during the day, and we don't have to be so tired. …”
The Nth suggestion, the Nth time of making one's own decisions in actual operation, gradually affecting the mother's fixed ideas through subtle influence and unauthorized decision-making.
Wei Tao didn't boast that his advanced ideas would definitely succeed. He just "cast magic in accordance with his mother's aptitude" based on his mother's personality. As long as the mother recognized in her heart that "the child has grown up," he would gradually gain her inner approval by making the decision. In fact, Last week Xinglian was a person who preferred others to make the decision for her. All she wanted was an old scalper who kept his head down and worked quietly.
When she first started selling vegetables, she spent three to four thousand yuan to purchase goods, and the profit was only one to two hundred yuan. She did not dare to do so because she was worried that she would lose money.
Now the living conditions of the mother and son are better. They don’t have to spend money on fruits and vegetables. They can buy some meat and can see meat dishes almost every meal.
There is no pressure to buy clothes, a pair of shoes, etc. If all income is taken into account, in this first month, he has earned more than 3,000 yuan, far exceeding Zhou Xinglian's inner expectations.
What makes her happiest is her son's growth. He decides what vegetables to buy at the vegetable wholesale market every day, not to mention the fruits. Zhou Xinglian has only gone there twice with her, not to mention that her son is familiar with the place, just with his classmates. She couldn't imitate her father's lively chatting with others. He was clumsy and had a good heart, but he was actually not suitable for business, even a small business like practicing stalls.
Even the more demanding aunt Zhou Xingrong, after hearing what her sister said and seeing with her own eyes, admitted it in front of the mother and son, expressing her approval of her nephew's growth and trusting him to make the decision.
In the past half month, I had not met Bai Yueguang again, but I had met a few times with the girl who often came to deliver wild vegetables. She was always so cautious. My mother gradually became familiar with the neighbors and learned about this deceased person. Grandpa gave the Shancai girl Guan Jinyue a nice name, but her life was not as good as her name.
Her parents were divorced, and her mother left home and never showed up again for many years. Her father was addicted to smoking, drinking, and playing cards, and didn't care about her at all. Sometimes he would drink too much after losing money, and he would hit or scold his children when he came home. Over the years, The children dig wild vegetables by themselves, plant in spring and harvest in autumn, and help the farmers work to earn money to support themselves.
In the words of the neighbors, this is a child who studies very well. It is a pity that he was born in such a family and cannot devote himself to studying, but he can still be admitted to the best high school in Jiangnan area.
Whenever we talk about this girl named Guan Jinyue, the neighbors will sigh and lament the fate of this girl. Some neighbors would inevitably say that it was unnecessary for her to insist on going to school. It was so hard to do it, so why bother to make herself so tired when she went out to find a job.
The new semester has started, and Guan Jinyue still sends some wild vegetables to Wei Tao and her son, but now the quantity is very small. There are still some sporadic varieties at this time of the year, and she doesn't have time. It is said that she goes to pick them before dawn and comes back before school in the morning. Because Zhou Xinglian The mother and son were not at home, so she could only deliver it after school in the evening, and they could only sell it the next day. Zhou Xinglian couldn't bear to lower the price, but Wei Tao readily accepted the girl's initiative to lower the price, respecting the other person's self-esteem of self-reliance and no mercy. .
In fact, Wei Tao didn't have much contact with her. It was obvious that the other party was more willing to trade with her mother. Wei Tao was too lazy to move forward. Regardless of the shabby clothes and the hard life, the little girl was so proud. Once a person of this kind really makes his or her own way in the future through hard work, in the workplace, he will definitely be the type of female devil, the exterminator. To work with her, you must first endure her stormy and crazy work attitude.
………………
After entering the rhythm of skilled work, Wei Tao had enough sleep during the day. After all, he was young and it was really difficult to go to bed at eight or nine o'clock at night. Thinking about it, Liu Lei was right. After dinner, he rode a three-wheeled motorcycle to the edge of the city. An Internet cafe in the area.
Playing is not the purpose. Ten years later, smartphones have become rampant. Nowadays, the novelty that computers bring to everyone has been gradually replaced by mobile phones, and online entertainment methods have become more diverse.
Wei Tao is just bored and just wants to contact his old friends. He has been back for so long and his life is finally smoothing out. He really can't wait.
No ID card is required to turn on the phone, no membership is required, Internet access is RMB 1.51 per hour, accommodation is RMB 5. Better Internet cafes in the city have RMB 2, RMB 25 and RMB 3, but they are not suitable for Wei Tao at this age. He still remembered that he would not even try to surf the Internet normally. He would go to the Internet cafe just before the accommodation point every day. He hoped that the business of the Internet cafe would not be too good and he would be able to get on the computer on time at nine o'clock.
The Penguin number is no stranger to him. He still used this number before his rebirth, but it has long been reduced to a piece of software hanging randomly in the background of his mobile phone. In the past, he used to hang up and pay for annual membership fees desperately for the sake of level. With the emergence of smart phones and WeChat, Don't pay attention anymore.
The number is easy to remember. This is also because Wei Tao and his classmates secretly tried to surf the Internet when they were in the second grade of junior high school. In 1999, any application was seven digits. If you have a little patience, you can connect the six digits. Or good numbers in other modes are not difficult to apply for.
At that time, Wei Tao was also bored and applied for multiple Penguin accounts in succession. At that time, if you only had one account to chat, you would be too busy. There were several, chatting with dozens of people at the same time.
In the end he kept one, and a few years later he entertained the idea of selling the Penguin when it was worth more.
527777.
Six digits followed by four links, the password was a password that Wei Tao used until his rebirth. Later, his WeChat, his email, Alipay password, and almost all important personal software all used this password.
Sitting in front of a big screen and a hard keyboard, Wei Tao logged into the Penguin account without thinking. What followed was almost a bombardment of messages. After clicking on the familiar avatar, he kept scrolling from one The message started months ago.
The ones with the most ties are, of course, Gou Chunzi and Da Bozi, who had the best relationship when they were in technical school.
"Why haven't you been online these past few days?"
"No accommodation, let's meet at the same place. Whether it's "Millennium" or "Legend", it's a one-on-one match, I'll miss you by one vote."
"You're dead, let's live and say something."
"Oh my god, your boy has disappeared and his house has moved? Leave a message for your brother."
"Are you there?"
"Are you there?"
"Tao Gou, are you here? Are you still alive?"
"I'll go, Taozi, if there's anything you need, tell me if you have anything."
"Come out quickly."
Generally speaking, the two people left messages like this. Others, such as some netizens, were all asking about their presence or not seeing them for a long time. Wei Tao automatically ignored them, letting him go now and enjoy them. He couldn't chat with people he didn't know all over the world.
The last message between the two of them was last night.
Da Bozi, Qiu Bo, classmates from technical school.
Gou Chunzi, I wish you Xichun, a classmate from other classes in the same grade in junior high school and a classmate from a technical school.
The three of them had the best time together. Even before their rebirth, even though they were living separate lives and sometimes couldn't get together once a year, their deep feelings for each other since childhood had not changed at all.
When it comes to coming back again, apart from his family, the two people Wei Tao wants to see the most are these two.
"Brother is back and ready to pick you up."
