Early the next morning, Li Peizhi excitedly told his grandmother about going to the beach with Lilian and his sister on the weekend to sell juice and earn pocket money. The bear child stretched out his hands to his grandmother and said that he needed $20 for investment.
Li Zhou Fangmei gently patted her little grandson's palm, "What juice is sold, there is no shortage of you to eat and drink at home, when will you not buy any toys you want to buy, is it not good to watch cartoons at home if you are bored?" The beach is full of people, beware of the bad guys taking you away! The old lady was worried about her grandchildren and scared the children.
Li Yigang was very supportive of the children's behavior, "If there is anything to worry about, let Ham follow along to watch the children when the time comes." ”
After speaking, he squatted down, touched his little grandson's head, and said, "It's really worthy of our Li family's species, it's only a few years old, and you have such a talent for business, give-" As he spoke, he took out four 10 dollar bills from his wallet, and put two in each of the two children's hands.
"$20 per person, it's an investment from your grandfather, and it's been collected." The old man said happily.
Seeing her wife singing against her in front of the children, the old lady was unhappy. With a straight face, he turned and went into the kitchen.
Looking at the back of her grandmother turning around with a gloomy face, Ash pulled the corner of her sister's clothes with a worried expression.
Qin Wanyu made a "look at Mommy" mouth shape to the two children, made a reassuring gesture, and followed her mother-in-law into the kitchen.
While helping her mother-in-law prepare breakfast, she did ideological work to her mother-in-law: "Mommy, the way Americans educate children is different from our traditional thinking, have you ever noticed the age of the boy who comes to deliver the newspaper early in the morning?" is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and at first glance he is a middle school student, and he didn't come out to be a newspaper delivery boy because his family was poor. It is a way for American families to educate their children. From an early age, children are cultivated to be independent and self-reliant. ”
Seeing her mother-in-law's silent appearance, Qin Wanyu continued to persuade: "Didn't our ancestors also have a saying that has been passed down to this day: It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, I heard Elizabeth tell me about it, in the United States. Even if it's a billionaire. The way they educate their children is also to let their children do small things within their ability to earn pocket money from an early age. For example, cleaning the house, delivering newspapers and milk, mowing the lawn, etc. This is a way of educating children in mainstream American families! ”
"But one of my precious granddaughters and grandchildren is only 5 years old, and the other is only 3 years old! Such a small child, standing is not as high as a table, how do you think I can put my mind at ease! The old lady's tone softened.
Qin Wanyu smiled slightly, and her tone was softer, "Mommy, didn't my father-in-law say that when the time comes, let Ham accompany the children, with Ham watching, what else are you worried about!" Besides, it is impossible for the Quinn family to let Lillian go out alone, and they will definitely send an adult to accompany them when the time comes. To be honest, Ah Hua and I are very supportive of the two children going out to sell juice. Regardless of whether you can make money or not, at least when the children are still young, you can establish the concept of hard work and prosperity! Especially Xiao Zhi, he is the eldest grandson of our Li family, and when he grows up, he will inherit our Li family's family business,"
Under Qin Wanyu's soft-spoken persuasion, the old lady finally stopped objecting and acquiesced in the children's behavior.
Qin Wanyu got her mother-in-law, walked out of the kitchen, breathed a sigh of relief, winked at her son and daughter, and made a gesture of "done", and saw the children cheering, happily jumped forward to hug Mommy and offer a fragrant kiss
It was soon the agreed weekend, and just after nine o'clock in the morning, Mark and his niece Lilian rang the doorbell of the Li family.
Seeing Lilian standing outside the fence and waving, Peipei and her younger brother Ash hurriedly said goodbye to the family: "Goodbye grandpa, grandma, daddy, mommy!" We'll be back at lunchtime! Then the two children ran into the garage in high spirits, found their respective children's bicycles, and pushed them out of the house.
Ham followed closely behind the two children, pushing a bicycle in one hand and a moving plastic box on wheels in the other. The plastic box was filled with several large bottles of juice, and Qin Wanyu, who was a mommy, also thoughtfully put a bucket of ice cubes in it.
"Why are you here? Didn't you say before that we would come straight to your house to find you? Pei Pei walked up to Lillian and asked. (By the way, Quinn's house is in a mansion area not far from the beach, and the Li family is only a little more than 20 minutes walk away.) )
"I thought that if you had too much juice in the table, I would ask my uncle to come and help and let him be a porter for us." Lillian replied.
Mark didn't drive today, dressed casually, carrying a big backpack, I saw him straddle a bicycle and beckoned to the children of the Li family, "Hey, children, you guys are dressed up so beautifully today, like angels." ”
Ham was crouching down at the point, fastening the rope that was pulling the box to the back of his bike. After the tie was secure, he nodded at Mark, indicating that he was ready to go.
"Alright, boys, let's go now!" Mark stomped hard with his left foot on the pedal and took the lead.
The children cheered, pedaled the bikes under them, and followed Mark.
Soon, a group of people was on the beach. As far as the eye can see, on the beach, the beauties in all kinds of dazzling bikinis are sitting or lying, and Lord Pei has long been familiar with this.
A long covered bench was found, and the group dumped their bicycles on the ground. Lillian crouched down and opened the lid, "Wow - there's a bucket of ice, that's great!" Then he took out a bottle of juice, then looked up at his uncle Mark and pointed to his backpack, which Mark consciously took off and handed it to his niece.
Lillian opened her backpack, pulled out two bags of paper cups, unpacked one of them, took out a cup, put two ice cubes in the cup, and then poured a full glass of juice, motioning for Ash to close the lid to prevent the air conditioner from running away. Place the cup in your hand firmly on the lid of the box and use it as a sample. Then, he took out a thick pen and a folded cardboard from his backpack, spread the cardboard, picked up the pen and wrote "chilled juice, 50 cents per cup" on the cardboard, and then leaned the large cardboard with advertisements on it in front of the plastic box in a decent manner.
As soon as the preparations were ready, the three children watched the crowd of people coming and going with their eyes open, waiting for the guests to come to the door.
Mark looked at the beautiful bikini girls walking in front of him, couldn't sit still, pointed to the children, motioned for him to look at the children, then pulled out a pair of colorful swimming trunks from his backpack and trotted all the way to a public bathroom not far away. After a while, Mark changed into his swim trunks and came out of the bathroom with the changed pants in his hand.
Walked back to the children's juice shop, stuffed the clothes and pants in his hand, stuffed them into his backpack, threw the backpack to his niece, and then picked up the juice that the children used as samples and put on the lid of the box, and drank it all!
Under the accusatory gaze of the children, Mark winked mischievously at the children, and before the children could jump to their feet, he immediately took out a 50-cent coin, threw it on the lid of the box, and then dropped the sentence "Come on, children!" He slapped his ass and ran away.
"I'll bet you, in less than ten minutes, my uncle will hook up with a woman!" Lilian looked at the back of her uncle Saobao with disdainful eyes, leaned her head close to Pei Pei, and said softly.
Sure enough, I saw Mark walk into a group of bikini beauties from a distance, and it only took two or three minutes to hook up with one of the beauties.
"Are we waiting here all the time, what if no one comes over to buy juice?" Lord Pei didn't care about how Uncle Mark hooked up with a woman, she was now thinking about how to sell juice.
"Why don't we take the juice over there and ask?" Lillian gestured to the right-hand side, where a group of men and women were playing beach volleyball.
"That's it!" The idea was exactly what she wanted, and Pei Pei opened the lid of the box, took out a large bottle of juice from the box, handed it to Lillian, and then picked up a paper cup and filled it with a full glass of ice in the ice bucket.
"Ash, I'll go over there with Sister Lilian to sell juice, you stay here obediently and don't run around! If someone comes over to buy juice, ask Uncle Ham to help, you know? ”
At this time, Ham had already laid a plastic blanket on the side, lying comfortably on the blanket, basking in the sun, and when he heard Peipei's words, he immediately made an "ok" gesture to Peipei.
Glancing at Lilian, one big and one small took a deep breath, plucked up courage, and walked towards the crowd
A handsome guy who was struggling to catch the ball, made a mistake, fell on the beach, pulled his head out of the sand and shook the sand, and then opened his eyes, only to find a pair of small feet in the field of vision. The handsome guy raised his head and saw a delicate and lovely Oriental girl with a sweet smile at him, "Brother, are you thirsty?" Would you like a glass of chilled juice? A glass is only 50 cents! ”
The person was still lying on his stomach, and he was about to get up, when suddenly another Lori's head stuck into the handsome guy's field of vision, and Lilian held the juice bottle and said, "Freshly squeezed juice, full of a big glass!" (To be continued......)
