"How are you doing over there?" Guan Jinyue stood at the door of the hut and asked Wei Tao, who was lying in bed in a daze.
"That's almost it." Wei Tao stood up and handed her the apple he had washed on his desk.
She has always kept a distance. Even though she has entered this family many times, her relationship with Wei Tao has always been as close as I can stand at the door and talk to you. When she told him that you were not good enough for me, she meant it. It doesn't hinder gratitude, but I don't want the other party to have any misunderstandings.
On weekends, Guan Jinyue went into the mountains early in the morning. Wild vegetables are seasonal products, and there was nothing else she could do. She could only collect as much as she could and sell them to Wei Tao.
She didn't know what Wei Tao was busy with, but she believed that the other party must be trying to solve the current difficulties. Aunt Zhou was not an honest person who could take on tasks. Faced with the current situation, she could only keep being a fool in front of her mother. Wei Tao is a good boy and a good boy.
"You work for those farmers, do you know any of them?"
Guan Jinyue nodded: "Yes."
Wei Tao: "It's hard for you to make money in winter, so why not help me collect the vegetables? I walked around outside and saw that someone was building a greenhouse. I think it was so that I could eat some fresh vegetables in the winter. If I couldn't finish them, I would sell them. Not selling?”
Guan Jinyue blinked and took a bite of the apple: "This should be okay, but not every family can build it. The quantity will not be large, and you need to travel more places. Aren't there always all kinds of vegetables in the vegetable market? Why choose a farmer's store? Those vegetables grown on my own plot.”
Wei Tao smiled and raised his chin. Guan Jinyue was stunned for a moment and then understood: "Like wild vegetables?"
Wei Tao asked back: "Do you want to know where I can sell it?"
Shaking her head, Guan Jinyue took another bite of the apple: "It's all small money now, so it's good to be stable. I don't dare to be greedy for more. I really didn't know it before, but I know it now."
Wei Tao made a sad face: "I will definitely find a wife who is not very smart in the future, otherwise my mother-in-law will be coaxed to death without even knowing it."
Guan Jinyue smiled and walked into the small house for the first time. She sat down at the foot of the single bed near the door and leaned against the door frame. She took another bite of the apple and burst into laughter while chewing it. Zhou Xinglian She didn't say anything, but as long as she said that wild vegetables are loved by wealthy people and people who know how to maintain their health, she knew where to sell them at a high price.
It’s not that I haven’t thought about trying everywhere before, but I didn’t dare to do so, and I was also considering whether I had room to try. In fact, it doesn’t matter even if I am wrong, but often proud people tend to fall into a state of difficult choices, especially when Guan Jinyue gives She sets her own goals and tries her best to learn. If she makes a mistake, she will first consider not making a mistake.
She wastes a lot of time fighting to stay alive and save for tuition, and then faces the lack of learning experience caused by insufficient physical nutrition. She also doesn’t want to spend too much energy in school, and has been trying to be a little transparent, especially recently, she is trying She wanted to do one thing so that she would not have to go through the college entrance examination. Every time she racked her brains, she really fully explored her talent for studying effortlessly and made her realize that she was not as talented as she thought. .
Entering the International Olympiad national team training, specially recruiting to enter the top universities, giving yourself at least a year to work part-time to save tuition, and before the end of the second year, you can complete the scant knowledge of the third year in advance.
All of Guan Jinyue's plans were to enter a prestigious school and leave home. After consulting with the teacher, she learned that she could get scholarships in college, and she could do some work on campus to earn living expenses and tuition with the help of the school. During the holidays, she could If you work part-time, you can be a tutor.
Therefore, all her plans are to get a good ranking in the next National Olympic Physics Competition, get attention, try her best to enter the training camp, become a member with the prefix "国" and be specially recruited by a prestigious school.
Time was running out, and wild vegetables were delivered to Aunt Zhou. Even though she knew she had lost most of her money, she still made this choice. As long as she delivered the vegetables, she could at least have a full meal here and provide her body with sufficient nutrition. This is what she must do now. My body did it.
"I won't let you struggle anymore, lest you finally have some affection for my straightforward mother, and in the end you have to carry a basket on your back to sell wild vegetables and end the relationship. Help me collect the vegetables and develop customers. Once you are stable, you don’t have to follow me, but I will continue to give you the salary, which is not much, enough to pay your tuition, and enough for you to eat and drink."
"Thank you." This thank you means not giving up the warmth you just received, not anything else.
"Go and study. I'm looking forward to the day when you can shine. Then you can come back and see us so that my mother can show off to me. If you look at my good eyesight, you will know that Xiaoyue can be promising."
"Will do."
"Well, wash your face well when the time comes, and stop wearing loose clothes to hide it, and stop hunching your body deliberately. But I advise you, if you don't cover it up, it doesn't actually mean much. You overestimate yourself."
Guan Jinyue's face turned red, but she soon returned to normal. She lowered her head slightly and ate the apple core in her hand until no trace of pulp was wasted. Then she slowly turned around and stood up: "I'm just lacking in nutrients."
After standing for a while, he stepped one foot over the threshold of the ground and took it back: "I have no friends, and I may not need them for the time being, but it's good to have someone I can chat with."
Wei Tao squinted his eyes and turned over to make himself lie down more comfortably: "I have a message for you. What can be encountered, what is expected, what can be expected, everything that passes is a prologue."
Guan Jinyue didn't reply and walked out.
I will. The new chapter of my life is destined to be gorgeous and wonderful. No matter how hard this prologue is, I can bear it.
………………
During this period of time, Zhou Xinglian tried to ensure profits by practicing stalling during the day, but the effect was still there. After all, the quality of the fruit combinations was sufficient, and there were a certain number of repeat customers in the streets. She would not lose money if she made less money, and she had not yet broken through the bottom line that made her completely lose confidence. I invited the eldest sister's family and the fourth sister's family to dinner. We talked a lot at the dinner table, but we didn't have any good ideas. The fourth brother-in-law just said, "Do you want me to go talk to those people."
Wei Tao is also busy, but no one knows what he is busy with. It feels like his claws are numb and he doesn't know how to deal with it, so he can only accept this reality.
In fact, when I go to the vegetable wholesale market every day to buy food, I will meet familiar faces every time I go there. Except for the quality of the food that even the stall owners don’t know about, I almost never encounter people being tricked on purpose.
Wei Tao chatted more with a few bosses who he thought were sincere and tried to become more familiar with him. He did not expect others to treat him differently. He only hoped to be treated equally. It was easier to make money if there were really good quality vegetables. Everyone can buy vegetables such as high-quality cucumbers, tomatoes, green onions and spring onions, and they are willing to sell them to me.
At the fruit wholesale market, Wei Tao learned a lot from watching Liu Dalong's wholesale of fruits. During this period, when the morning market was over, he did not go home to sleep. He rode a three-wheeled motorcycle to the fruit wholesale market several times. Usually at this time As the boss, Liu Dalong has left long ago, but Brother Wang is a very trusted employee and will stay here until noon, helping to check out, pick up goods, and sell goods.
Smoking a cigarette, he casually found a box to sit down and chat. Wei Tao never complained about Liu Lei, and he never mentioned to him that he communicated more with Brother Wang.
Wang Hai is very satisfied with this point. Relationship is just a ladder of bonding. It is best to use it once or twice, instead of constantly stretching or stepping back and forth on this ladder. In the early morning, sometimes Wei Tao takes Wang Hai to the door to have some breakfast, which costs only ten or eight yuan. During the chat, his experience in this industry is revealed bit by bit.
Vegetables and fruits have the same purpose, and experience dictates that the goods that arrived this time are of high quality and must have been sold out quickly. From the boss to the employees below, there are people close and distant, and they all have networks. Wherever there are people, there is social interaction. .
Since you can sell the good ones quickly, you should either give the good ones to familiar people, or wholesale the ones with average quality first, and keep the good ones, either to make some money, to earn some favors, to get some cigarettes, alcohol, etc. If the boss suffers, most bosses will also let their employees take advantage of it.
What Wei Tao wants is good quality goods. It can be more expensive, and I can make less money, but I want to develop the concept of 'high quality'.
In addition, he has been walking around the Jiangnan area during this period, not only looking at houses but also watching the flow of people.
He also went to the farmer's market and looked at the street stalls. Seeing that the weather was getting colder and colder, he didn't want to procrastinate any longer. In his memory, his mother's face, hands, and even feet were all affected by the long hours of practicing stalls in the cold conditions of ice and snow. He suffered from frostbite and some of the root causes of the disease. That rich and prosperous face made people feel very blessed. However, within a few years, it was full of traces of wind, sun, rain, cold and cold. In less than ten years, he was fifty years old. He has already shown his age since he was young.
Wei Tao doesn't want to experience this again, so even if there is no 'attack' by the vendors in the morning market, even if his mother is not willing, he will turn the concept of a 'fresh fruit and vegetable supermarket' into reality, even if it is not to make money. We also want our mother to 'work' in a warm house, protected from wind, rain, cold, and freezing temperatures.
If not, where does the greatest sense of accomplishment come from?
