Reborn back to 1986

Chapter 8 Partnership
Having lived in two lifetimes, she is well aware of the importance of money to a woman, and how to earn money is what she needs to focus on at present.It is now the spring of 17, she was eight years old and was studying in the second half of the first grade of elementary school, April No. [-], and it will be May Day in thirteen days.

Hey, that's right.Li Yan suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up.

At this moment, there was movement in the west room, and Cui Yufeng was woken up by Xiao Li Jia's hungry cry, and she was coaxing and feeding her.

Taking advantage of the time when both of them were awake, Li Yan took off her shoes and got on the kang, teasing the milk-fed little Li Jia for a while, and the little guy fell asleep again not long after.

According to the usual practice, Cui Yufeng asked about her daughter's study content for the day, and Li Yan didn't mention her stomachache because she was worried.She fell asleep again just now, and didn't hear the conversation in the yard, so she didn't have the slightest doubt.

Seeing that she was in good spirits and had no intention of going back to sleep, Li Yan told her what she had been thinking about for a long time.

"Mom, it's almost May Day. I want to use the holiday to do some small business to earn some pocket money. Can you lend me some money?"

Cui Yufeng was frightened by her words, and widened her eyes and said, "You are only a little older and can do small business, let's see if you can get it. Who did you learn this from?"

Li Yan knew that convincing her mother was not an easy task, after all she was only eight years old now, no adult would believe what a little kid said.Immediately, the small eyes rolled, and an idea came to mind: "Mom, not only I am with the old uncle, but he led me to the county to buy some bulk goods, and then I will take them back to the town to sell."

"I know it's not your own idea, so that's fine, anyway, you can just play around and find something to do when you're on vacation." Cui Yufeng took out a stack of neatly folded banknotes from under the quilt, most of which were one yuan and two dollars. There are only a few five-yuan bills, which are the gift money received from various families in the fort in the past two days, and they have not had time to hand them over to Li Wuchang, who is in charge of the family.

Cui Yufeng took out a piece of five yuan, thought for a while and added another piece, and handed it to Li Yan together: "These are enough for you to use. Mom doesn't expect you to make money, as long as you don't lose money."

Li Yan: "..." Khan!Huge sweat.Ten yuan, what can you do with such a little money?
Li Yan knew that her mother had a passbook of 1000 yuan. This money was saved when her salary rose to 200 yuan a month after she became the workshop director of the garment factory for more than half a year.The original plan was to borrow this money as the principal and start earning money.But it turns out that her idea doesn't work at all.Judging from the current situation, Cui Yufeng is already a very enlightened mother if she can give her ten yuan, let alone giving money, it is not bad if she doesn't criticize her head and cover her face with scolding and kicking. up.

Li Yan put it away silently and put it in her pocket. Money is not enough, but no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. It is better to have money than to have no money.

"Mom, then I went to see my uncle?"

"Well, let's go. You guys should discuss it in advance and see what you can sell. According to me, the double happiness candy that costs [-] yuan is not bad. I heard that the purchase price is only [-] cents. You children like to eat it. Come back. I don't care about selling." The voice became more and more louder as the people walked out.

"I see, Mom." When Li Yan replied, she had already walked into the yard.

Li Yan's grandmother gave birth to eight children. The only son, Cui Wenwu, was the youngest, only nine years older than Li Yan. Jump up and down.

Cui Wenwu can fight, he is the king of children in this area.When Li Yan was a child, she always played with his back, and she was very close to him.When she was five years old, her mother sat on the kang with a few aunts and chatted about her, and asked her: "Swallow, what kind of partner do you want to find when you grow up?"

Li Yan tilted her head and thought about it, her eyes fell on Cui Wenwu who was standing next to her, she threw herself on Cui Wenwu and hugged his thigh, all the snot all over her pants, and announced loudly: "I want to marry my old man!" Uncle." The people in the room were amused.

Naturally, childish words cannot be taken as the truth, but it can show that she and her uncle were really close at that time.This is also the main reason why Cui Yufeng would believe the lies she improvised.

When Li Yan arrived at her grandma's house, Cui Wenwu was in the courtyard being yelled at by his mother Liu Erfeng because he had spent all the change left over from buying soy sauce. When he saw her enter the courtyard, his eyes lit up, as if he had been liberated As soon as he was tall, he stood up from the wooden pier, and said to Liu Erfeng, "Mom, I took Yanzi out to play." Finally, he could escape from the sea of ​​suffering without listening to the fucking curse.

With his granddaughter present, Liu Erfeng couldn't say anything more. Without raising his head and eyes, he continued to pack up the tatters, and waved at the two of them: "Let's go, let's go, hurry up and play." There was a repeated chanting: "The fifty cents bought all the cannons, this prodigal boy..."

Li Yan, who walked to the street, tugged Cui Wenwu to hold her hand: "Uncle, have you been scolded by grandma again?"

Cui Wenwu said in a muffled voice: "Well, your grandma thinks I've spent money indiscriminately. Isn't it just fifty cents? I've been nagging for a long time."

"Old uncle, old uncle, tell the truth, do you want to make money?" Li Yanyang raised her face, waiting for an answer.

"Think about it, who doesn't want to make money. Yanzi, tell the old uncle if you have any good ideas?"

Li Yan nodded her head straight: "If you want to make money, that's good. Come on, old uncle, you go down the river with me first."

Cui Wenwu was full of doubts and followed her to the Hetao.

The small river that flows through Zhoujiapuzi is called Linghe. Usually, the river is about six or seven meters wide, and the depth of the water is only about waist deep.When the summer flood season comes, the river level will soar dozens of times, and when the water is heavy, it will overflow into the fort.

At the end of April and the beginning of May, the weather is dry and rainless. The gravel path on the river loop is full of dry soil, and a layer of dust falls on the foot without taking off the shoes.Mo walked about 300 meters, and then the shrubs and bushes gradually increased, and the sand and gravel under his feet turned into a slightly moist dirt road.On both sides of the small dirt road are some sparse grass and wild flowers, and from time to time there will be purple fluffy flowers mixed among them.

Li Yan stopped, pointed to a clump of purple flowers and said to Cui Wenwu: "Old man, have you seen it? The way I said to make money is this."

"Maoguduohua?" Cui Wenwu squatted down, stretched out his hand and squeezed the flower in his hand: "What is it worth?" Knowing the answer, he suddenly deflated like a swollen ball.

Li Yan said: "I'm not talking about flowers, but its roots. These things are medicinal materials and can be sold for money."

"I know that Maoguduo flower roots can cure sore throats, but these things are all over the mountains and plains. Even if it is a medicinal material, how much money can it be planted? Besides, even if it is really valuable, someone has to collect it? If it is sent to the supply and marketing cooperative, Maybe no one wants a penny. That's it, Swallow, stop thinking about it and go back." Cui Wenwu was not interested at all, stood up and was about to leave.
