Chapter 14: Overestimating Yourself

"How much did it cost?"

Guan Yunshan was eating the cream sorbet handed over by Guan Xiaojun, and looked at his daughter curiously, "Yangyang, you are good at math, tell your father, how much is it sold now?"

When Guan Yang heard this, he took out a small cloth bag from the popsicle box and poured out a large pile of gross tickets, "Dad, I haven't checked it yet! Let's check it now!"

Guan Xiaojun said: "No need to check, I remember everything! We sold a total of seven yuan and three cents, and after throwing away the capital of two yuan, we made a total of five yuan and three!"

Guan Yang was surprised: "You remember all this money?"

Guan Xiaojun said: "Just remember the last number!"

Guan Yang suddenly realized, "Yes, why didn't I think of it? I haven't checked the money all along, and I don't know how much I've earned!"

Guan Yunshan was very happy to see his son so smart, "Xiaojun is so smart! Yangyang, you have to learn from your brother in the future!"

He looked at Guan Xiaojun, "Xiaojun, you have made so much money, how do you want to spend it?"

Guan Xiaojun lifted his feet up, revealing the small orange sandals sewn and sewn on his feet, "I want to buy a pair of sandals first!"

In Guan Xiaojun's childhood memories, when he was a child, in the summer, the shoes he wore were basically the small sandals worn by his sister Guan Yang, and the sandals that Lu Xin'e bought for Guan Yang were all neutral shoes without flowers, which could be worn by boys and girls, so Guan Yang's old shoes could be worn by Guan Xiaojun directly, so that he could save money on buying shoes.

The child's body shape changes very quickly, whether it is clothes or shoes, they can't be worn for a year, so Guan Yang's shoes that haven't been worn out are left for Guan Xiaojun to wear.

It was also during the New Year's festival that Guan Yunshan and his wife would buy a new set of clothes for Guan Xiaojun, and at that time, from clothes to shoes, they would be much more foreign than the children in the same village.

But now Guan Xiaojun really doesn't want to wear these shoes that have been sewn several times, and the thick lines on the soles of his feet hurt, so he wants to change to a new pair of shoes

Lu Xin'e next to her said: "What do you buy? Your feet are the same every day, and you can't wear them tomorrow if you buy them this year, and now these shoes fit well, why do you want to change them?"

Guan Xiaojun sighed and lowered his head, "Mom, this is our own money, you don't care!"

"No!

Lu Xin'e taught Guan Xiaojun a lesson, "What do you mean by the money you earn? Without your father going to the county town to wholesale ice cream popsicles in the morning, what would you sell? And your capital, not your father's money? Stinky boy, you want to save private money at such a young age!"

Guan Yunshan's face next to him was slightly red, and he felt that Lu Xin'e was talking about himself, because he usually likes to save some private money, buy some cigarettes and alcohol, and play cards with others, all of which are the private money he left.

Guan Hongda saw Lu Xin'e talking about Guan Xiaojun, and hurriedly said: "Xin'e, you're wrong, what are we making money for? Don't you want your children to eat well and dress well? It's not a matter to always let Xiaojun wear Yangyang's old shoes, if you want me to say, in terms of dressing and putting on shoes, let's not wronged the children!"

When Lu Xin'e saw her father-in-law talking, she stopped reprimanding Guan Xiaojun and said to Guan Hongda: "Dad, don't spoil him all the time! This kid can't be spoiled! If you pet the sky, you won't be able to pull it back!"

Although she said this, she still said to Guan Xiaojun: "That's it, when I catch the market in two days, I will buy you a new pair of shoes and a pair for Yangyang, you have to take good care of them, don't wear them out in a few days!"

Guan Yang was very happy, "Thank you, Mom!"

Guan Xiaojun asked, "It won't cost us money, will it?"

Lu Xin'e knocked Guan Xiaojun's head, "Stinky boy, you are really a money fan! Don't worry, I won't spend your money!"

The family rested for a while, then went back into the wheat field and began their hard work.

In the busy season, it is a race for time with God, and it does not give people enough rest time, and the croppers are all year round, only in winter will they really be free, and the rest of the time is a busy season.

The family is busy, and the Guan Yang sisters and brothers are not idle, and continue to push bicycles and sell popsicles.

Guan Dimiao Village has a large population and many fields, Guan Xiaojun and Guan Yang walked back and forth along the country roads, and when they walked all the paths, the time was almost five o'clock.

Both of them were tired, but the popsicles were almost sold, and the remaining dozen popsicles had begun to melt, and there was already a puddle of sticky ice water in the thick bag.

In this era, the self-made incubator can last for half a day, which is actually quite good.

Guan Yang was a little anxious, "Oops, it's all melted!"

Guan Xiaojun took out a half-melted cream ice cream and handed it to Guan Yang, and took one himself, "Melt, melt, these can be sold cheaply, and if you can't sell them, you can eat them yourself." ”

Guan Yang said: "How can you finish eating so much?

Guan Xiaojun said: "Then throw it away! Anyway, we have already earned back our capital!"

Guan Yang was still reluctant, and hesitated: "Let's take a look around again, try to sell them all, it's a pity to give up!"

Guan Xiaojun sat weakly under a poplar tree on the side of the road, beating his legs vigorously, "I can't walk anymore! I'm tired!"

He still overestimated his physical strength, and now he is a six-year-old child, his physical strength is not enough to support him to walk for such a long time, coupled with shouting all the way, he didn't feel anything at first, and when it was half an afternoon, the whole person felt unsupportable, Guan Yang was also tired, the two of them stopped and stopped along the way, so it was hard to endure until now, Guan Xiaojun's whole person was tired and paralyzed!

Guan Yang saw that his younger brother was tired like this, and she was also tired enough, so he said, "Why don't we go home!"

Guan Xiaojun got up from the ground, "Go, go home!"

When he arrived at home, Guan Xiaojun didn't take off his shoes, so he plunged into bed and fell asleep.

When I woke up, I found that my shoes had been taken off, and my mother Lu Xin'e was holding a fan to gently repel mosquitoes.

Seeing Guan Xiaojun wake up, Lu Xin'e burst into tears in distress, "You kid, what are you doing here?

She put on Guan Xiaojun's shoes and carried him out of bed, "Come, let's eat, mom fried your favorite poached eggs for you, and then sleep well when you're full, we won't sell popsicles!"

When Guan Xiaojun walked out of the courtyard from the bedroom, it was already mid-moon outside, and it was almost eight or nine o'clock in the evening, and his sister Guan Yang seemed to have just come out of the house, grinning with chopsticks and poached eggs on noodles, but he was so weak that he couldn't even hold the fried poached eggs.

Seeing Guan Xiaojun walk out, Guan Yang gave Guan Xiaojun a fierce look, "It's all your fault! I can't hold chopsticks now!"

Guan Xiaojun sneered: "Oh, how did I know I was so tired!"

After eating a bowl of poached egg hand-rolled noodles, Guan Xiaojun fell asleep again, when he slept, he was quite depressed, he knew that his first small business had come to an end, and seeing him tired like this, his family would not agree to him continue to work.

The act of selling popsicles was declared a failure.

A born-again person may not be able to do anything, especially at such a young age.
