Chapter 40: Receiving a call from Yan Jia
When Li Xinke and Li Shanshan sat in Hua Nianzhu's car, when they arrived at Kumquat Village, Li Shanshan got out of the car and told her softly:
"Sister, I want to be like you, go to the train station to sell old magazines to earn money. If I stay at home, I can only help with household chores, and I still can't earn money. ”
Li Xinke felt a little helpless.
My sister is still so young, what can I do for her?
My sister is at home, at least she can help the family with housework. But if her sister is here, she will have to spend some time taking care of her sister, for fear that she will get lost......
Li Xinke just reached out and patted Li Shanshan's shoulder without saying anything.
The two sisters had lunch at their aunt's house, and the aunt asked her uncle to catch two hens, and one rooster came out and put it in a cardboard box with several holes that had been picked.
Li Xinke's aunt said to Li Xinke:
"When you go, take my little bucket with you, and feed the chickens some water on the way, lest they die of thirst. Didn't you say, you don't have any chickens? Those hens can still lay eggs. ”
"Yes, Auntie. Li Xinke said with a smile.
This time, she and her sister came out with an acquaintance. Her uncle and aunt didn't insist on sending them off.
It's just that her aunt knew that they were busy at home, so she didn't leave them to play at home. Just said that when they were not busy, I would pick them up and play again.
Li Xin was reluctant to go back. On the way back by car, I was still thinking about how to get to Hexiang Railway Station and sell old magazines to make money.
Riding the car to the town of Kumquat Town, Li Xinke told Hua Nian Zhu what she thought in her heart.
Hua Nianzhu shook his head and said:
"Actually, I listened to my brother-in-law. The owner of the hotel saw that you were making money selling old magazines, so she bought some new magazines at a nearby bookstore and sold them. As a result, she didn't sell ten copies a day, and there are still magazines that haven't sold out......"
Li Xinke listened and snickered in her heart.
Is it so easy to sell magazines near the train station?
If it were easy, I'm afraid that people who live near the train station would have already rented storefronts to do business.
Since Brother Zhu Zi didn't support her to sell magazines, she had to think of other ways to make some money.
There are actually quite a few things she can do.
For example, if she goes to find a tutor or something, she can do it.
However, she is only a junior high school student now, so what can she do to compete with those college students in the city?
However, the knowledge she learned in the previous world can still be used by her. She pondered for a moment before she said to Sister Wanfu:
"Sister Wanfu, why don't you do this? I'll make some snacks in the future, and when you come out to sell vegetables, I will come out with you and take them out to sell. I'm sure there aren't many people in the entire county town of Yili who can make that kind of delicious dried fish......"
Ye Wanfu listened, and asked Li Xinke with some doubts:
"Ke Ke'er, you and Shanshan want to follow me and Zhuzi out to play, you can do it at any time. It's just that you're a person who hasn't been in the kitchen much, so you make snacks and sell them......"
Li Xinke smiled awkwardly and said:
"I saw an article in an old magazine about how to make dried fish at home. I memorized it carefully, and when I got home, I would try to get some small fish to fry. ”
"It's good that you have this idea. Just, where are you going to get those little fish? The little fish in your pond, do you think your grandmother will be willing to let you catch them?"
Hua Nianzhu listened to it and felt that Li Xinke had her own ideas, which was very good.
But after all, he is also a businessman, and he knows how difficult it is to do some business in Meiling Village. couldn't help but ask Li Xinke.
When you do something, you must first consider what difficulties you will encounter in doing this and how to find a way to solve the problem. Instead of thinking everything was going well at the beginning.
When I failed, I felt that it would hurt if I fell.
Brother Zhu Zi and Sister Wanfu had told Li Xinke about this before. There are some truths, and Li Xinke also understands.
Li Xinke stretched out her hand and rubbed her forehead, and replied, "In our village, it's quite easy to get some small fish." ”
When she was a child, her father was still alive, so he took her to Meiling Creek to fish.
Li Xinke continued:
"I think over the years, there are still quite a few people who go fishing in the reservoir. I can go to them and buy some and take it home to process ......"
Hua Nianzhu listened, shook his head slightly, and said, "You go to someone to buy fish and reprocess it, the cost is not low." ”
After thinking about it, he proposed:
"Otherwise, wait until it rains and pick up some wild mushrooms yourself. When the time comes, they will come out with us and take it to the vegetable market to sell. I think it's better to make more money by doing a little business than by selling dried fish. ”
Li Xinke listened, nodded and said:
"Okay. ”
But I was still thinking about how to fry the dried fish and sell it for money.
That night, Li Xinke and Li Shanshan returned home by car and brought home the chickens given by their aunt.
Several elders of the Li family were very happy, opened the box, and put the chickens in the chicken coop to feed. also ran to Hua Nianzhu's house, specifically to thank Li Xinke's aunt, and made another phone call.
Ten days later.
Li Xinke had dinner at home, ready to fetch water, put it on the biogas stove and boiled. In the evening, there is water for bathing.
In the village, some villagers whose family conditions are slightly better have installed solar energy in their homes. When they get home, they can have hot water to bathe, which is very convenient.
Li Xinke and his family have not yet installed solar energy, so they can only boil water for their own use.
Li Xinke walked into the kitchen with a kettle of water, only to see Li Shanshan running in. Before she could ask, she heard Li Shanshan say:
"Sister, sister. Sister Wanfu asked me to come to you, saying that it was Brother Yan Jia, and I will call you later. ”
"Huh?"
Li Xinke listened, almost not daring to believe her hearing.
Didn't Yan Jia travel abroad?
Why did you only go for a few days and then come back?
Li Shanshan stepped forward, took the kettle that Li Xinke was carrying, and put it on the biogas stove. Opened the fire and boiled water. She said to Li Xinke:
"I just went over, and I was already on the phone with Brother Yan Jia. He said he had some old books, all of which were beautiful comics. When his friend comes to Yu City on a business trip, he can bring it to me and show it......"
Only then did Li Xinke understand that Li Shanshan had been thinking about talking to Brother Yan Jia, and it turned out that she was looking for him to ask for a book to read.
Also, the comics that Yan Jia said were published by several publishing houses in Hekang City. It is sold in the imperial capital, but it cannot be bought at all in Yu City.
This time, seeing her sister jumping up happily, she couldn't help laughing, "Haha". Then he joked to his sister:
"Sister, look at you, a few comics can make you happy like this. When you grow up, people invite you to watch a movie, and maybe they can coax you to go with him......"
