The words Tao Liguo was about to swear were blocked in his throat abruptly. He was awake, but his face didn't look much better.
"You little bastard, don't play yourself well, why bother your father." Tao Liguo took Tao Jiabao's arm, dragged him onto the bed, took out the ice cubes from his clothes, and stuffed them into his lapel.
Tao Jiabao's laughter and cries could be heard even next door.
Tang Lihua was talking softly with Tao Lexuan outside, when she heard this movement, she shook her head amusingly.
When the father and two came out after the quarrel, Tang Lihua checked the time and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
When Tao Liguo saw his mother, he felt a little uncomfortable for some reason, and the voice of laughing with his son just now suddenly dropped, and he put his son down, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
"Mom, where are you at home?" Tao Liguo felt embarrassed when he asked this. How else could he be if his mother wasn't at home.
Tang Lihua glanced at him vaguely, but began to think about something in her heart.
She has not been idle these two days, she is just looking for a profitable business.
Compared with Tang Lihua's real world, this novel world is more than ten years behind, if compared according to the timeline.
Now is probably 2006 in the real world, a few years before smartphones became popular.
Unlike in 2020, almost every child and adult has a smartphone, and the Internet is so developed that they can't leave their smartphones.
Now is the time when the country is developing rapidly.
When Tang Lihua took Tao Lexuan to school to pay tuition, she bought herself a dilapidated second-hand mobile phone for 100 yuan.
I also applied for a mobile phone card. At this time, there is no mandatory real-name system for applying for a card.
So Tang Lihua did a bearer card, installed the card, and then turned on the network. It really is the 2G era.
However, these have little to do with Tang Lihua. She just searched social news on the Internet to find out what she needs to know about current events.
In the 4G society, Tang Lihua is still not used to using such a fast 2G network.
After watching what she wanted to see and understanding the development of various places, Tang Lihua had a plan in her heart.
Before, I thought about opening a medicated food restaurant with the medicated food recipe redeemed in the system mall, but now it's too abrupt.
Not to mention the cost, I can't explain where your medicinal recipes come from.
How a little old lady can do this all of a sudden is even more unclear.
So Tang Lihua decided not to use this kind of cheating formula. Since she wanted to make money in business, of course it couldn't be done overnight.
If she succeeds so quickly, how can she torment Tao Liguo and Li Qin, two lazy people
Tang Lihua checked them out one by one, and then set her sights on the fruits.
The current fruit industry is not like that of the later generations. Everyone knows to package fruits, buy them at low cost, and use high-end packaging once, and sell them for three or four times the price.
And the place where Tang Lihua is located is a small county town.
But next to the county seat is the most famous fruit town in the country, where there are the most fruit farmers.
But more fruit does not mean that it sells well. When the year is not good, more unsalable fruits are rotten and thrown away every year.
Tang Lihua didn't plan to start a wholesale business, so she pulled a large cart of fruit and ran next door across the country to sell fruit.
What she wants to do is to make high-quality goods, and she doesn't care much about the quality. Of course, the most important thing is that her cost is not enough. If you want to get the goods, it's the first time you're new, and you have to pay the full price, otherwise no one else will sell it to you.
So for Tang Lihua, she had to find another way.
There is a lot of preparatory work for fine-tuning, and in this weather, it is not easy to find good-looking fruits because you have to run around outside.
Tang Lihua's plan is to pick the best batches, package them beautifully and high-end, and then take them to the hospital for sale.
If you want to say which place to buy fruit does not pay attention to the price, but the appearance is the most important, next to the hospital is definitely one of them.
Those who are going to the hospital to see patients can't do it empty-handed. The basic fruit basket nutrition and flowers are standard for future generations.
Tang Lihua is definitely not the first to eat crabs, but as long as she can make a profit from it, that's fine.
The preparatory work for these prerequisites allowed Tao Liguo to run away. He couldn't find an excuse, and he killed two birds with one stone. Anyway, Tang Lihua was very satisfied.
Of course, Tao Liguo didn't want to go to the neighboring provinces right now, he didn't know anything, so he didn't feel at ease letting him go to Tang Lihua.
So for the first few trips, Tang Lihua would definitely take him with her, but in this way, someone at home would have to watch over her.
If you want Tang Lihua to hand over the two children to Li Qin, she must be worried.
Tao Jiabao is fine, no matter how lazy Li Qin is, his son will still take care of him.
Tang Lihua was afraid that as soon as she left, Li Qin would be able to push everything on Tao Lexuan, asking her to cook, do the laundry, and do the housework.
Not to mention that Tao Lexuan is still young, these Li Qins are really capable.
So it's not in a hurry to do business for a while, first toss Tao Liguo and Li Qin to be good, and then Tang Lihua will start those things.
But Tang Lihua doesn't know how to sit and eat, so someone still has to go out to make money during these days.
As the pillar of the family, Tao Liguo did his part.
"You go out to look for work in the afternoon. I don't care what kind of work you are looking for. You have to get the money back. You have to pay for food, clothing and drink at home. If I don't go out to sell vegetables, you have to find work." Tang Lihua stopped Tao Liguo was about to sneak back into the room because of embarrassment.
Tao Liguo just turned around, and when he heard his mother's words, his whole body froze, and there was a faint feeling deep in his heart that what was supposed to come had finally come.
"Mom, where do I go to find a job? When people saw me like this, they drove me back. How could they want me?" Tao Liguo had a bitter face, and he had to struggle if he had to struggle.
Tang Lihua showed an amiable smile on her face, "My dear son, what mom really cares about is not money, but the most important thing is that mom is worried about your body. If you keep gaining weight like this, mom will probably give you away again. A brunette."
Talking Tang Lihua seemed to think of something, lowered her head, and wiped the corners of her eyes.
Tao Liguo thought that his mother was crying, so he hung up his heart, "Mom, what do you mean by this? Isn't my body in good shape? Why do white-haired people give away black-haired people? Don't scare me, mother." .”
Tang Lihua thought to herself, if not scaring you, who else would she scare.
"It's not that mom wants to scare you. I went to sell vegetables a few days ago, and I heard from the aunt next door that she has a big nephew who is as fat as you. She doesn't move after eating every day. A few days ago, she was taken to the hospital and almost died. It was gone, and after the doctor checked it, he said that he got the third high of that Lao Shizi, and it was miserable anyway."
Tang Lihua kept on threatening, "She told me that her eldest nephew will not be able to eat meat or candy in the future, and he has to be careful when walking, and if he encounters something, he will die."
Tao Liguo felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard it, and his whole body became terrified.
Tang Lihua was still talking about the dangers of being overweight, and at the end she made a bold statement, "Let me tell you, I heard that a fat man slept on his stomach when he slept, and in the middle of the night because he was too fat, he couldn't turn over and suffocated himself to death." .”
It's all unfounded, Tang Lihua is just using it to frighten Tao Liguo, but being overweight is really harmful to the body. It's fine when you're young, but when you get old, your body functions degenerate, and that's all kinds of suffering.
Tao Liguo saw that his mother didn't seem to be telling a lie, swallowed his saliva, his eyes were a little straight.
"So, mom doesn't really want to torment you. You said that I don't sleep well early in the morning. If you don't sell vegetables to make money, what do you have to drag you to run?" Tang Lihua said earnestly.
"Mom just hopes that you will be well and live longer than me."
When Tao Liguo looked at the old mother's eyes that were full of caring and wholeheartedly thinking about him, he felt ashamed slowly in his heart.
That's right, this is his own mother, why are you trying to make things difficult for him? Isn't it just thinking of him, in order to make him active, I have to drag him away at a young age.
He must have been exhausted at the time, but for the sake of his son, the old mother forcibly endured all this.
He is an unfilial person who still complains about her behind her back and guesses that she was stained with dirty things. What a bastard.
Tao Liguo spat at himself fiercely, and automatically ignored it. In the morning, his mother easily dragged him like a balloon, ignoring his screams and begging for mercy, and ran forward unswervingly.
"Good son, the only thing mom can rely on is you. Mom knows that you must be promising. The reason why this is happening now is that mom delayed you before, didn't let you do anything, and broke your body. It's all mom's fault." Wrong." Tang Lihua stood up and patted Tao Liguo on the shoulder.
Encourage him with a look of hope, "But Mom believes in you, as long as you lose this body, you can make a lot of money to support your family, and you can become Mom's pride."
As if thinking of such a scene, Tang Lihua smiled happily like never before in the past few days, "At that time, Mom can go back to the village and brag about how promising my son is, and those people in the village must be very envious."
"When you make money, buy a few houses in the city, and then buy a car. Let's drive back to the village and let them all see how promising my son is." Tang Lihua was firm.
Following these fucking words, Tao Liguo broke free from the feeling of shame just now, and his heart was faintly hot, moving and surging.
Unexpectedly, his mother had such high expectations for him. When he thought of the scene where he was driving a majestic car, surrounded by villagers and envious of flattering him, Tao Liguo almost laughed out loud.
Thousands of words, merged into one sentence, with passion, blurted out, "Mom, I will definitely lose weight, earn money to support you, and make you look good."
"Okay, okay, mom knows you are promising, and mom is waiting for that day." Tang Lihua was very pleased.
Her attitude filled Tao Liguo with confidence. It seemed that he would earn one million in the next moment, live in a small villa, drive a luxury car, and appear in the village.
Tao Liguo thought about it, and grinned behind his ears, nodded heavily, "Mom, don't worry, I'll leave it to me."
Tang Lihua patted him on the shoulder encouragingly, and the next sentence immediately reduced Tao Liguo's pride by half.
"Mom saw it today. The east side of the city is doing development. It seems to be recruiting brick-moving workers. You go and take this job down."
The corners of Tao Liguo's mouth twitched with a smile, he wanted to say that he would not go, because if the weather made him move bricks, it wouldn't be peeling from the sun.
But looking at the expectant eyes of the old mother, he couldn't say anything.
Come on, who made him a promising son.
