One or two thousand yuan can buy a lot of things.
Hearing his wife's scolding, Wang Laosan touched his head and said with a smile: "Stop talking, set up a stall, set up a stall."
In the fried stall area, in addition to Wang Laosan who was setting up a stall, there were two other families who were also setting up a stall.
"Good morning, Uncle He."
At this time, Zhou Hai, who had prepared the vegetables and potatoes, pushed the modified tricycle to his stall and said hello to He Chun who was eating.
He Chun took a sip of soy milk and nodded: "Good morning, Xiaohai, eh, Wang Laosan, there's been a lot of panic around here these two days. All the company's stuff has been lost. I heard that atomic bombs can be built, and the government is always dark. They’re all looking for it.”
"Yes, the people over there in Nandong District are so scared that they dare not go out these days. My brothers and sisters are so scared that they ran to live in their hometown. This thing is very scary. If you touch it, you will die, and you will be covered in cold. It's like blood blisters, and the flesh is almost rotten."
When Wang Laosan heard these words, he replied with lingering fear: "My kids are telling me not to go to Nandong District during this period. That's all about the atomic bomb."
"Atomic bomb..." Zhou Hai, who was quietly setting up a stall, felt helpless when he heard the conversation between Wang Laosan and He Chun.
Cobalt-60 radioactive source is an artificial radioactive isotope that can be used in the food processing industry, medical treatment, aerospace, and the production of core materials such as thermally strong alloys, permanent magnets, aerospace engines, and rocket engines.
The scarcity of this thing is ten times that of gold.
However, cobalt-60 is not the material for making atomic bombs.
Zhou Hai didn't argue or refute, because it was pointless and even a little nosy.
He has no obligation to help others popularize science. Is he full?
Set up a stall and do business.
Today, a total of four families, including Zhou Hai, set up stalls.
There were no quarrels or disputes. Everyone was doing this small business that was safe and profitable.
However, the next business was just as Zhou Hai predicted last night, with sales falling off a cliff.
In one morning, Zhou Hai only sold about 500 yuan. Compared with yesterday morning, he sold more than 1,000 yuan, a decrease of more than 100%.
"My guess is correct, these are still four families. If six families set up a stall together, the turnover will continue to decline." Zhou Hai looked at Chunyuan Road where people were coming and going, and then looked at Wang Laosan and his wife who were busy working at the stall. After thinking silently, he closed the half-read Oxford English Dictionary.
Wang Laosan and his wife have been working here for nearly fifteen years, much longer than Zhou Hai. The other three families also belong to the ten-year-old shop, and each has a large number of repeat customers.
Repeat customers mean a stable source of income.
Zhou Hai's number of repeat customers is far less than that of Wang Laosan, his wife and the other three families.
Sales have plummeted, which is both expected and frustrating.
"School will start after the Lantern Festival, and there are still about ten days. I will earn as much as I can during this period, mainly reviewing my homework." Zhou Hai took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and made a decision without hesitation.
Making money is important, but Zhou Hai is not in a desperate situation.
For him, what really matters is the college entrance examination.
If you neglect learning in order to make money, this is putting the cart before the horse.
"Hmph, if it weren't for this little kid, the sales would have cost at least three to four hundred yuan more this morning." Looking at Zhou Hai who was waiting for customers in the stall, He Chunlan, who had just finished his work, snorted and whispered.
After hearing his wife's words, Wang Laosan, who was frying wolf-toothed potatoes, sighed: "Well, everyone has their own business, and there is endless money to be made. What's the use of talking about it."
He Chunlan immediately shouted: "What do you think I'm going to say, and I'm going to upset you?"
"Shout, ho, no business?" Wang Laosan was choked again, and he was a little sullen: "If you don't do it, go back!"
Seeing her man's appearance, He Chunlan understood that Wang Laosan was really angry. She pursed her lips and did not dare to continue talking.
After clearly hearing the conversation between Wang Laosan and his wife, Zhou Hai laughed and shook his head. Taking advantage of his free time, he took out his mobile phone and entered the high school learning software "Ape Search Questions" to start a new round of English mock exams.
The importance of English, a subject ranked among the three main subjects, is self-evident. Whether it is external communication, study after admission to aviation school, access to information, etc., English is needed.
At the same time, English is also Zhou Hai's weakness. After focusing on consolidating and learning Chinese and Mathematics in the past few days, Zhou Hai then focused on English.
There are no shortcuts to anything.
Zhou Hai did not feel proud because of his photographic memory, but was down-to-earth and moved forward step by step.
Memorize words,
Learning grammar,
Practice by doing questions.
The day of college entrance examination is getting closer and closer.
Zhou Hai, who was taking an English mock test on his mobile phone, had a serious look on his face. He studied each question carefully and gave an answer after thinking about it. If he encountered difficult questions, he would skip them directly and wait for the easier questions to be solved before dealing with the more difficult ones. topic.
English listening, reading comprehension, and the last essay question are all Zhou Hai's weaknesses.
Time passed slowly. After more than twenty minutes, Zhou Hai rubbed his slightly swollen forehead, clicked on his phone, and submitted his exam answer sheet.
"Congratulations, you got a score of 92 points, surpassing 45% of the students nationwide and reaching the passing line. Your English test scores are steadily improving. I hope you will continue to work hard." In the mobile phone, an ape designed with animation elements suddenly appeared and asked Zhou Hai unveiled the final results of this English mock test.
92 points?
Fortunately, I have started to pass.
Zhou Hai looked at the answer, and the seriousness on his face disappeared, revealing a hint of joy and expectation.
Passed.
In just two hours, Zhou Hai's English mock test score had risen from an average of 50 points to a passing score of 90 points.
growing up.
Growth in a geometric pattern.
This level of growth is undoubtedly as wonderful as cigarettes, and like clear and fragrant wine, which makes people deeply fascinated.
"I'm going to take a comprehensive test. I don't know how difficult today's national test is."
After feeling a little happy for a while, Zhou Hai calmed down and began to prepare for a new round of exam papers.
This year's Sichuan Province College Entrance Examination adopts national examination papers and incorporates them into a brand-new education system to comply with the national education reform.
"Zhou Hai, one portion of maocai and one portion of wolf-toothed potatoes." Huang Li, wearing a light yellow down jacket, came to the front of the stall with a handsome boy beside her. She looked at the boy with affectionate eyes.
Zhou Hai put his phone away, looked at Huang Li and another boy he had never met before, and smiled: "Okay, is this your boyfriend, Huang Li?"
