When he got up early the next morning, Li Jianbo said to the two elders: "My parents don't know, but Weiwei's trip was not in vain. She came back with second place. It's amazing to achieve such results for the first time in the competition." Bar."
Liu Chunzhi is no longer interested in winning awards or anything like that. In her opinion, it's all about spending money and getting little benefit. Her son, who is the best at reading, was injured in his arm. If he becomes disabled in the future, I'm afraid that I can't even get a wife. Liu Chunzhi's attitude was very cold.
The farm work in the fields came out, and Li Minghua and Liu Chunzhi went to the fields to harvest corn. Naturally, Li Wei couldn't stay at home, so she carried a basket on her back and went to the fields to break the corn cobs with her parents.
It took five whole days to harvest several acres of corn. There is still more than half a month before school starts, and Li Wei wants to take advantage of this to make some money back. So I rode my bicycle again to the ice cream factory to sell ice cream wholesale. I left early and came back late every day. I always come back with a few ice creams left over in the evening and give one to everyone in the family.
"Why do you just want to sell ice cream?" Li Jianbo said to Li Wei while eating the cold ice cream.
"Because I can't think of any other way to make money for the time being."
"Do you need money badly?"
"Before, I wanted to earn some travel expenses and registration fees. Now, I want to save some money for emergencies." Li said with a smile.
My sister is really different, she has become stronger and more sensible. Li Jianbo was very pleased.
On the evening of August 20th, Li Jianping suddenly came back.
"You brat didn't know you were coming back until the corn was harvested." Li Minghua scolded his eldest son when he saw him.
Li Jianping begged for mercy: "Dad, Dad, please calm down. This month is too busy, and I can't spare the time to come back even if I want to. My younger brother and sister are about to start school, and I'm in a hurry to send some registration fees back."
When he heard that his son had come back with money, the expression on Li Minghua's face became softer.
Li Jianping not only brought back two hundred yuan, but also brought back a newspaper.
"Jianbo, Weiwei, you two are really capable. You've all been in the newspaper, you know?" Li Jianping took out the newspaper and showed it to everyone. The news about Li Wei is of course the award-winning news, while the news about Li Jianbo is about his courageous actions.
Liu Chunzhi heard about it and hurriedly said: "Read it to us what it said in the newspaper."
Li Jianping first picked out the content of Li Wei's calligraphy and painting competition and showed it to his parents, and said proudly: "Look, we Wei Wei won second place. This is a group photo of the top three."
Li Wei saw the black-and-white photo of himself in the newspaper. Against the background of Tang Shiyun, he looked ugly, rustic, and not good-looking at all.
"There is also a trophy. Weiwei, why don't you take out the trophy and let us take a look?" Liu Chunzhi said.
Li Wei thought to herself, "Aren't you guys not interested?" She went into the room to get the trophy.
Li Jianping looked at the trophy back and forth many times: "Jianbo has never been short of this thing before. It seems like this is the first time Weiwei has received it. Our Li family has two talents at once. As the eldest brother, I will also help you." Feel joy."
Li Minghua finally smiled: "They are all good children, no one is bad."
Then Li Jianping read Li Jianbo's deeds to his two elders again: "At about 10 a.m. on August 8, a minibus was loaded with goods from Yangshi to Wu County..."
When Li Jianping reads the newspaper, he is obviously serious, but it always makes people think it is funny.
Li Minghua listened quietly to the contents of the newspaper and smoked a cigarette. He blew out a long smoke ring and felt extremely comfortable. Happier than drinking a bottle of good wine.
After dinner, we went back to our rooms. Li Jianping came out of the shower and saw his father still sitting on the doorstep smoking. He couldn't help but step forward and persuade him: "Dad, stop smoking. You are not in good health."
"Hey, I'm happy today, please leave me alone." When Li Minghua lowered his head, he saw many cigarette butts thrown on the ground.
Li Jianping wiped his hair with a towel and discussed with his father: "Dad, there is a business opportunity right now. How about we give it a try?"
Li Minghua put out his cigarette butt and asked quickly: "What business opportunity? Are you really planning to start your own business?"
Li Jianping said: "There is a shop, and the port is OK. The family that did it earlier wants to change hands. I asked the landlord and said that the rent plus deposit will cost two thousand yuan a year?"
"Two thousand?" Li Minghua was startled and said quickly: "How can our family get so much money now?"
"You can ask someone to borrow it. If it doesn't work, you can also find a bank loan. How much can you earn in a year if your family is always farming? Jianbo will be admitted to university in two years. I heard that the university now pays for its own tuition, which is another big sum. It’s not a small expense. And what about Weiwei? Don’t you want to cultivate it properly? Besides, Jianbo..." Li Jianping paused and then said, "We should ask my uncle about our money. If he can help us a bit, we can start a partnership between the two of them."
Li Minghua always felt that this matter was not that easy, and added: "What will we sell after the sale? Where will we purchase the goods? Have you ever thought about it?"
Li Jianping said with a smile: "Mom, isn't she talented? Let's try opening a breakfast shop first. Although we are a little tired, the money comes quickly. People in the city are busy going to work and school, and they don't have time to cook for themselves. People who come out to have breakfast A lot. Bai An’s mother can do it too. We started to help, and it started to work slowly. Besides, this shop used to be a small restaurant, but the tables, benches, bowls and chopsticks were not very popular. , you can transfer it with a little money, and you can do it right away.”
"We are all gone. What will happen to your sister? She still needs to continue studying."
"Let her stay with my uncle for the time being. After half a year, after the Chinese New Year, my sister will go to the city to study. Anyway, she will have to study in the city when she goes to high school. How about it?" Li Jianping had already thought about it very much before coming back. Well done.
Li Minghua thought about it carefully and said, "You and your mother should discuss it again and see what she wants."
Li Jianping smiled and said: "Of course I have to tell mom."
The next day, Li Jianping told Liu Chunzhi this idea, and the Jianbo brothers and sisters also heard about it. This road also said that Jian Bo pointed it out to Jian Ping, and of course he had no objection. Liu Chunzhi had this idea a few years ago. After listening to her son's suggestion, she nodded and said, "I think it's okay to go out and have a try while you're young. You can't farm the land for a lifetime, and you still have to rely on yourself to turn over. Now it's not like what we did when we were young. , doing some business is just speculation.”
After settling the matter, the first thing he did was to raise money. Liu Chunzhi wanted to use Li Wei's winning of the award to invite her brothers from her mother's family. Then everyone can get together to discuss raising money to open a store.
At the same time, a car stopped in front of a breakfast shop in a certain city. The driver asked a middle-aged woman in the back seat a few words, then opened the car door and went down to buy breakfast for the woman. Seeing a newsstand not far away, the woman asked the driver to buy a newspaper.
The woman was eating breakfast and reading the newspaper. Her eyes were caught by a piece of news on the social page. She stared at the photo of the brave young man for a long time, and her eyes never moved again.
