Chapter 121: Life is all about frugality

The days in my hometown passed quickly, and after the New Year, and after fifteen, it was time for children to go to school and adults to work. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

When passing through the provincial capital and changing trains halfway, Wei Guo decided not to be so economical anymore.

He told Dongmei that he wanted to take his wife and children, visit the zoo in the provincial capital first, and play in the playground of the provincial capital, in short, he must leave a good memory for Dongmei and the children.

The two children often watch the animal world on TV, but they have never been to the zoo to see real animals.

When they heard that their father was going to take everyone to the zoo, they couldn't suppress the joy in their hearts and jumped up for joy.

The weather was exceptionally nice, the sun was shining, and it wasn't cold at all.

Wei Guo queued up to buy four tickets and took everyone into the zoo.

Wei Guo originally thought that as long as he bought a ticket and entered the park, he could watch any animals he wanted, and he could see any animal he wanted.

However, when he entered, he realized that he had made a mistake, he only bought one ticket, and in front of each animal house, he had to buy a separate ticket.

Dongmei is also the first time to come to the zoo, and it is still very different from the zoo she imagined.

Dongmei watched the animals on TV, they were all free-range, she thought that after entering the zoo, it was like entering the wild panic, she could walk freely, look around, and watch to her heart's content.

However, she found that what she was thinking was too far from reality.

So, Dongmei and Wei Guo took their two children around the zoo, except for some animals that can be watched for free, other interesting and eye-catching animals are basically not visible.

In order to let the two children grow up and see, Wei Guo asked the children's opinions and said: "Taotao, Nana, tell Dad, what animal you want to see the most, and Dad will take you to see it." “

Dongmei, who was standing next to her, thought to herself, child, I must want to see tigers, leopards, elephants and the like.

However, Tao Tao said without thinking: "Dad, I want to see dinosaurs, you take me to see dinosaurs." “

Nana was even more high-profile, she said: "Dad, I want to see a mermaid, you take me to see a mermaid." “

Hearing the request of the two children, Wei Guo and Dongmei were dumbfounded, crying and laughing.

Dongmei explained to the child that this is a real zoo, not a zoo in the science fiction world, so she can only see some real animals.

Hearing this, although the two children were very disappointed, they still saw tigers, leopards, wolves, peacocks, hippos, crocodiles and other animals that can only be seen on TV under the leadership of Wei Guo and Dongmei.

And Dongmei was even more eye-opening, she didn't expect that the tigers and lions in reality were much bigger than she imagined.

What surprised Dongmei the most was the dolphin performance, she didn't expect that the dolphin would be smart enough to understand human speech and interact with the audience perfectly.

In the afternoon, Wei Guo took his family to the largest amusement park in the provincial capital.

It's huge, with roller coasters, pirate ships, airships, high-altitude lunar exploration, merry-go-rounds, and more.

And Weiguo also gave up his blood and tried his best to meet all the projects that the children wanted to play.

At the end of the day, the whole family was tired enough, but the mood was extremely happy, especially the two children, who were simply crazy, not only unsatisfied, but also wanted to continue playing.

For dinner, Wei Guo took his family to the food stall Meimei for a meal, which was regarded as a reward for everyone's hard work.

The next day, before leaving, Dongmei and Wei Guo came to the Medicinal Materials Wholesale Market on Hancheng Road, wholesaled all the medicines with the last remaining money, and then got on the bus back to the unit.

On the bus, Wei Guo touched his empty pockets, looked at Dongmei and said, "This time, we have really become the Moonlight Clan, and it can be said that we have spent all the money we have." “

Although Dongmei felt that this trip was extremely happy, she still didn't approve of being a moonlight clan, and felt that it was better to save some money in her hands.

She looked at Wei Guo and said: "Actually, before we go to play, we should calculate the money first, if it is not enough, we can choose one of the zoo and the playground, there is no need to spend all the money." “

When Wei Guo saw this trip, Dongmei was happy, so she said happily: "Actually, in this world, only we Asians save money, and European and American foreigners don't save money at all. “

Hearing that foreigners didn't save money, Dongmei's mind was seriously shocked.

She felt incredible and said: "How can you do it if you don't save money, what if one day, when you need to use the money, what if you can't take it out, for example, the child is sick, or the elderly are sick, and there is no life-saving money, do you watch your family wait for death?"

Wei Guo agreed with Dongmei's idea, he said: "Yes, I think so too, but foreigners just don't save money, and they also spend ahead of time?"

Dongmei had never heard of the term advanced consumption, and she asked in surprise: "What is advanced consumption?"

Wei Guo explained to Dongmei: "Spending ahead of time means spending tomorrow's money today and tomorrow's money the day after tomorrow......"

Dongmei's eyes widened, and she felt incredulous and said: "Spend tomorrow's money today, then drink the northwest wind tomorrow, besides, how can you get tomorrow's money today?"

Wei Guo said: "Everyone has a credit card, you can overdraft in advance, that is, borrow money to enjoy life first, and when you have money, you can pay it back." “

Hearing this, Dongmei gasped and said: "Credit card, I haven't heard of it, but I just think that the kind of people who spend tomorrow's money today and use credit cards are all losers, all of them are gentlemen, and they are not people like us at all." “

In Dongmei's traditional thinking, she believes that life is to be thrifty, diligent and thrifty, even if it costs less or no money, she must save some spare or life-saving money in the bank.

As for what credit card, spending in advance, in Dongmei's opinion, it is a big rebellion, and sooner or later it is a loser.

However, what Dongmei didn't expect was that with the development of the times, more than ten years later, credit cards have become popular, and early consumption has become very natural.

And Dongmei also got a credit card for herself, making her and her family's life more convenient and happy.

When Wei Guo left, Dongmei took the child and sent him to the site at the gate of the base, telling Wei Guo to go to work and pay attention to safety, especially when he was on the night shift.

And Wei Guo told Dongmei with concern, don't sell medicine so hard, sell it if you can, slow it down if you can't sell it, and wait for the demand to be greater than the supply, and then fill the gap in the market.

After Wei Guo left, Dongmei began this life of orphans and widows again.

She takes care of her children to school and eats every day, and then goes out to sell medicine herself.

Dongmei rode to the village she was familiar with, and before she entered the village, she was blocked by someone who had bought medicine before.

They looked at Dongmei and said, "Queen, you're finally here, we're waiting for you in a hurry." “

Dongmei pinched her fingers and calculated, she seemed to have not come to sell medicine for more than two months, could it be that the drugs sold before had been consumed?

So, Dongmei looked at the old man politely and said, "Old man, do you have a cold, or do you have some other illness, and what medicine do you need?"

The old man coughed and said: "It's just a common cold, I want to sell medicine, but you don't come, and I don't know if the other people who sell medicine come over, I don't know if the medicine they sell is real or fake, and I don't dare to buy it, so I'll wait for you." “

Dongmei saw that her customers trusted her so much, and said happily: "Uncle, if you have a cold, you can eat some cold, this is cheap and it works." “

Saying that, Dongmei gave the old man three boards of cold passes, and gave the old man an extra board of cold passes.

An old lady came over, looked at Dongmei kindly and said, "I had diarrhea a few days ago, so I'm waiting for you to sell medicine." I waited for a long time, but I didn't wait for you, and now that I'm fine, why are you here?"

After speaking, the old lady looked at Dongmei with a smile.

Dongmei heard that the eldest lady had diarrhea and was fine without taking medicine, so she congratulated the eldest lady and said: "It's a medicine that is three parts poisonous, and you are fine without taking medicine, which means that your body is still great." “

The eldest lady smiled, the wrinkles on her face folded together, and said, "The queen girl who sells medicine, bring me a few plates of medicine to cure diarrhea." “

Dongmei said in surprise: "Auntie, isn't your diarrhea all good, why do you still buy medicine." “

The old lady said: "This medicine, you must always have it, otherwise the next time you have diarrhea, what should I do if I don't get better?"

Dongmei smiled, so she gave the eldest lady a 20% discount and sold two plates of diarrhea medicine.

Along the way, Dongmei sold a lot of medicines smoothly.

On the way back, Dongmei couldn't help but think to herself, although this kid Weiguo usually doesn't speak, what he says, sometimes, makes sense.

Since I was idle for a while, there was a vacancy in the market.

Now, fill this gap yourself, and the business will be good naturally.

couldn't help it, Dongmei thought to herself, it seems that she will be fine in the future, and she still has to think about it carefully if she wants to defend the country.

In this way, when Dongmei was selling medicine, she was not like before, getting up early and greedy for darkness, and going to sell medicine every day, but choosing a fixed day to sell medicine every three or five days, so that not only people were relaxed, but also the sales of drugs increased.

After three or four months, Dongmei sold almost all the medicines in the house.

Dongmei calculated, last time, plus the income from selling drugs this time, she made a total of almost seven or eight thousand yuan.

Dongmei looked at these rich incomes, and felt a burst of joy in her heart, saying that although she was a family member, although she was a woman without a formal job, she could still support her family, increase her family's income, and improve the quality of life of her family.

Dongmei looked forward to the future and thought to herself that if she continued like this, her annual income would one day surpass that of Weiguo.

At the same time, Dongmei also set a goal for herself, that is, her income will not only exceed Weiguo, but in the future, it will be twice or even triple Weiguo's income.

She wants to use her own personal experience to prove that a single-income family can have a higher income and live a better life than a dual-income family.

At the same time, the news that Dongmei made a fortune by selling medicine soon spread throughout the family courtyard of the first base.

While envying and admiring Dongmei, everyone is also eager to try, ready to emulate and replicate Dongmei's success.

However, just when Dongmei was about to make a big move, someone from the Drug Administration took the initiative to come to the door.

They found Dongmei and told her that selling drugs was illegal and could cause serious medical consequences, so Dongmei must immediately stop selling drugs and pay a fine.
