Chapter 60: Another Bitter Child

Li Ming told Wenlan that his home is in a deep mountain in the north, his father is a little disabled in his feet, he can't do heavy work, he can't go out to work, and his mother can only take care of his father at home, and the family's only income is to grow some crops. My sister got married, and the family worked in other places. All those who can go out in the village are gone, and now only the old, weak, sick and disabled are left, and he is the only college student in the village.

In last year's college entrance examination, the results of the name were quite good, but the first consideration when filling in the volunteer was not the school and major, but the tuition fee. He chose to choose and choose, and chose Nanxin College, which is also a public school, and the business administration major is a new major opened by Nanxin College, I don't know if I can use it after graduation, because the tuition fee is relatively low, I will study it first, and then say, among the freshmen admitted to the college last year, the score of the name is the highest.

After getting the admission letter, the family was worried about tuition and travel expenses, and the government and the school were very concerned about it, proposing that a student could not go to the university because of poverty. The government pays for tuition, and the school travel fee for the original high school students solves the problem of poor students going to school. The tuition and travel expenses were solved, and the mother sent the only pig raised by the family to be sold for the living expenses of the name, which was originally going to be raised until the end of the year, and then slaughtered and salted for the whole family to eat for a year. My mother also sold some of the food, saying that he was not at home anyway, and that if the surplus food was sold, he would eat more food at school for every penny he sold.

In school, he eats very frugally, because it is difficult to eat a semester with a living allowance of several hundred yuan, so he wraps the leftover vegetables in plastic bags and continues to eat the next meal. On weekends, I went out to find odd jobs, once I helped an advertising agency to advertise, and I wandered the streets all day long, because I saved a lunch meal, and I almost fainted from hunger. After seeing this situation, some of the classmates laughed at him and looked down on him, but more sympathized with him, he often received some snacks and fruit packages, I don't know who sent them, and sometimes someone in the cafeteria would buy him a good meal, put it aside, and the master of the canteen would specially give him more food.

The mobile phone that Satoma now uses is an old mobile phone given to him by his classmates, as long as he can make calls, he doesn't need other functions. Last year's winter vacation home was also lent to him by his classmates, and the travel fee back was given by his sister.

He is not going to go home this summer, and when he returns home, not only can he not help his parents much, but he also has to pay for the round-trip journey. He decided to try to work a summer job to earn a little money to spend the summer, and even better if he could earn some tuition for the next academic year. Yesterday, when I passed by Jingyuan, I happened to see the scene of Wenlan being bullied by the security guard, so I was bold and tried to ask Wenlan, he could see that Sister Wenlan was a kind person, even if she couldn't help him find a job, but just help her do some work and earn a full stomach.

The more Wen Lan's father and daughter listened to Li's narration, the more sympathetic they became, Shi Wan pulled Wen Lan aside and whispered: "Lan'er, we must help him with this favor, even if he can't do hard work, we can take care of him well." ”

"Dad, he must be allowed to do the work, otherwise he will feel undignified, and he will leave even if he has nothing to eat. Wen Lan said.

The pastries were sold out, and Lan asked his name: "Are you willing to do such a job?"

"Yes, very willingly, sister, did you leave me?" said Satana looked excited.

"Since you are willing, I don't think this will work, we will take care of three meals a day, and you will eat whatever we eat

Yes. You also saw how to sell pastries just now, and it is simple and simple, it depends on whether you can put down the shelves of college students, and whether you can afford to accompany the smiling face. Hehe. "Ask Lan to provoke him.

"No problem, no problem, I was originally a poor man in the mountains, how can I have any stakes when I live in this big city? Sister, you are such a big hero and can still smile at people all day long, what else can I not do. Satana said.

"Is it okay to go out and sell alone?"

"No problem at all. ”

"Okay, that's it, this pastry sells for five yuan a piece, I'll give you four yuan a piece, you don't need to pay the cost, each earns one yuan, and you can make as much money as you sell, depending on your ability." Wen Lan said with a smile.

"Okay!"

"Now we will go and buy tricycles and other tools, and we will start selling them tomorrow, and my dad and I will start making them early tomorrow morning, and you can go out and sell them at breakfast, and there may be business during this time period, and we will come back to get them when we sell them out." Let's go to my house later, and let you know the way. ”

"Okay, thank you, sister. ”

"But we can't solve the accommodation problem, is it convenient to live on campus?"

"No problem, the school knows about me, and I am allowed to stay in school during the summer vacation. Sena was not mistaken, Sister Lan was really a helpful person, and he was very happy that he had found a summer job.

"Do you know how to ride a tricycle?" said Ran.

"Yes, everyone in our mountains can ride, and I learned it before I went to school, when I was only 6 years old. ”

"What a smart boy. Wen Lan smiled.

"Sister, you've won the prize. Rina said, "Sister, you are not big, so the child's screaming seems to be much older than me." ”

"My sister is already older than you. ”

"Where is my sister's hometown, in the countryside, people in the city can't make such pastries. ”

"You're so smart, my sister came out of the mountains like you, and making pastries is your uncle's housekeeping skill, and I'm not good at it. ”

Li Ming said to Shi Wan: "Uncle, your craftsmanship is very good, the pastries you make are delicious, I have never eaten such delicious pastries." ”

"That's because you're hungry, and when you're hungry, everything you eat tastes good. Wen Lan said.

"When I'm not hungry, I also think it's delicious to eat my uncle's pastries. ”

"Huh. ”

As they spoke, they arrived at Lan's house and asked, "Liming, our house is here, do you know the way?"

"Recognize, recognize. ”

"Eat here in the evening and go back after the meal. ”

"No, there are still pastries I picked up that day, I have to eat them quickly, and I will eat with my sister during this time in the future, so I won't eat them and waste them." ”

"What a bitter boy. Wen Lan said, "Okay, then you can come over tomorrow for breakfast." ”

At about four o'clock the next morning, Shi Wan got up and started working. He saw that Wenlan also got up, and said, "Lan'er, you can sleep again, Dad can get up early when he is old, you haven't slept enough, besides, the preparation has to be done for a while." ”

"Let's do it together, it'll be faster. Wen Lan said. Although she really wanted to sleep, she told herself to persevere, remembering that one teacher said that the best time to sleep every day is between 10 p.m. and 3 a.m., as long as you sleep well during this time.

With one more helper, this workshop is really too small, and it will be better to open the other two rooms in a few days.

"Lan'er, there is one more person, but it is even harder, and she has to start working four or five hours earlier than usual. Dad is fine, can you endure this hardship?" Shi Wan asked with concern.

"Dad, it's okay, I'm also from a bitter background, although my father dotes on me, but I'm not so delicate. Wen Lan said with a smile.

The father and daughter were talking and doing, and at about half past five, the name came.

"You're here so early. Wen Lan said

"I have work to do today, I'm a little excited, I can't sleep at night, so I just come early. ”

"Coming here?"

"Hmm. ”

"Nanxin College is quite far from here, and there is no bus so early. Wen Lan said.

"It's okay, it's only half an hour's journey, sister, you also know that we mountain people can walk this way. ”

"Well, you can ride your tricycle back every night, and walk a few steps less when you come in the morning, if you don't feel ashamed. Wen Lan said with a smile.

"Okay, my sister cares about me so much, I'm still afraid of losing face, and there is no shame in the first place. ”

By this time, 50 had already been cooked, and Satana loaded the pastries and rode out on a tricycle. In less than an hour he was back again.

"What's wrong?" asked Lan.

He said that it was sold out, and he was going to go to a place with many businesses, but he bought it before he could ride it.

"If you average 2 per person, it will be sold out to 25 people. Satoma looked excited.

"Good job, good start, keep working hard, as long as you are not afraid of hardship, my sister supports you. Asking Lan praised the name and said, "Are you still going out?"

"Of course I have to go out, is my sister cooking? In the morning, many people ask if it is cold, some people may want to eat when they are hungry after exercising in the morning, and they can't eat it when it is hot. "Sato is confident. Take out all the money from the sale in the morning and give it to Wenlan.

Wenlan gave 50 yuan to Liming, and said that because she and her father didn't eat in the morning, Liming forgot to ask him if he had eaten when he went out, and Liming said that he had eaten, and what he picked up the day before yesterday could be eaten for a few days. So Wen Lan loaded Li Ming with 100 that had just come out of the pot, and said, "It may be a good selling point at breakfast time now, and when you sell out and come back, we will have it ready again." ”

Satoma rode his tricycle and set off again.

Ask Lan to think that it is also good to use this sales model through the name, and the sales volume can increase significantly, but the problem is that there are not enough people, and the only people who do it are their father and daughter, even if they do it specially, the number of manual work is limited. The seller is not a big problem, and he can find it, but except for the name, he can't use this method for others, so he has to use the wholesale method. Do you want to contact Mr. Zhou's side and try the machinery and equipment from his side? Think about it or wait, step by step, lay a solid foundation and then expand the scale. Moreover, there are many things to find factories and approve companies, and funding is also a big problem.

In the afternoon, they went out to sell in two shifts. In order not to repeat the line, one to the east and the other to the west, make an appointment to meet at home in the evening.

Just as Wen Lan and Shi Wan were passing by the Xindu Hotel, a person suddenly stopped her: "Wen Lan, what's wrong with you?"
