From abandoned baby to CEO

Chapter 81 Secretly selling your beloved bicycle

Spring returns to the earth and everything revives.

Spring represents vitality and hope.

This spring, Sun Xue may make her own wish: I hope that I will succeed in my studies, I hope that I can take good care of the family, and take good care of my grandfather and younger brother.

After this incident, Sun Xue's mentality became calmer than before. She suddenly felt that it was a blessing to live well, cherish every minute of the moment, and go all out to work hard for her dreams.

Her heart has become stronger, and no difficulty can crush her unless she gives up voluntarily.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the weather gets warmer, and people who have been resting for several months begin to walk out of their homes and go to the fields to start spring planting for the new year.

The northwest mountainous area where Sun Xue lives mainly grows wheat, corn, and potatoes. There are also some miscellaneous grains grown: wheat, buckwheat, flax, peas, etc.

In previous years, Old Man Sun was busy with these tasks, and Sun Xue could only help out at best.

But this year is different, these tasks can only fall on Sun Xue's shoulders.

After breakfast, Sun Xue took his younger brother, pushed old man Sun, and went up the mountain with farm tools on his shoulders.

The weather is getting warmer, and Sun Xue wants her grandpa to get out of the house and get in touch with nature, breathe the fresh air in the mountains, bask in the sun, and stretch his muscles.

After her grandmother passed away, Sun Xue found that her grandfather was in a very depressed mood and stayed at home all day without going out. In the past, it became a habit for my grandfather to take a walk outside the door every day after dinner. Sun Xue was afraid that if things continued like this, grandpa's wild thoughts might cause him to have trouble one day.

Sun Xue only watched his grandfather do a lot of work in the fields before, and had never done it himself.

But this is not a problem for Sun Xue. He just learns on the spot if he doesn't know how. His grandfather is sitting on the field, and his grandfather who doesn't know how to do it is there to guide him.

These farm tasks do not require too much difficulty or skill, and you can get started quickly.

First spread the fertilizer on the ground, then plow the ground, dry it for a day or two, and then you can sow the seeds.

Although Sun Xue is weak, her hands and feet are very agile. As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of slowness, you are afraid of rest. Sun Xuegang is indeed a little unskilled in doing these tasks, but she only needs to bend down and start doing it, and never rests in the middle. I would often go to the fields to work in the morning, and it would be noon when I looked up.

Unlike other villagers, they work very leisurely. They take a break after working, chatting, smoking a cigarette and drinking water. In this comparison, Sun Xue's work is no less than that of adults.

Sun Xue is always the first person in the village to go out to the fields in the morning and the last person to go home at night.

After returning, he continued to boil water for cooking and feed chickens and donkeys. It's often eight or nine in the evening when I finish all this work. Before going to bed, she would boil hot water for her grandfather to rub his body and scald his feet. If she was not too tired, she would help wash his grandfather's and brother's dirty clothes.

Although Sun Xue felt tired sometimes, his mood was comfortable and at ease. Sun Xue always believes that even though you are physically tired, you will still be full of energy the next day after a good sleep.

Old Man Sun is usually very popular in the village and has a good reputation.

The neighbors saw that old man Sun could not work in the fields now, and Sun Xue was the only one working in the fields. So many villagers who couldn't stand it came to help. Those who had farm vehicles at home brought their vehicles over directly. Sun Xue couldn't do such tasks as pulling fertilizer into the fields and sowing seeds. They helped to do it together. With the help of kind-hearted villagers, the spring planting was completed in a few days.

There will be basically no life in the fields for the next month or two.

Sun Xue breathed a sigh of relief as the Spring Planting matter was completed. Next, Sun Xue thought about how to increase the family's income.

She knew that her grandfather had no money. At the beginning of the new year, the family had to have expenses: their own tuition fees, fertilizer money, water and electricity bills, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and the usual headaches and fevers... all of these It all costs money.

And once school starts, Sun Xue will have less spare time. There are very few jobs in this place where you can use your spare time to make some money. In the past, she could go up the mountain to pick up vegetables in exchange for some money. This winter, all the places on the mountain where she could pick up food had been picked up by the villagers, and this road was no longer feasible.

Sun Xue has been thinking about this matter in his mind no matter day or night these days.

One night, Sun Xue was thinking about Uncle Jianjun raising cattle. Sun Xue patted his head: Why don't he make some money through breeding like Uncle Jianjun?

As soon as this idea came to mind, Sun Xue immediately lost sleep. After some careful thinking, she felt that raising sheep and chickens was the most suitable option for their family situation.

The sheep can be driven up the mountain. There is endless grass everywhere on the mountain. Now that my grandfather’s body has almost recovered, he can move around freely with a cane. Usually, my grandfather can take his younger brother to the mountains to herd sheep, so that he can still move around. Body. As for raising chickens, it's easier. Just feed the chickens a few meals of cornmeal every day.

How to make money by raising chickens and sheep? Sun Xue thinks that he can raise breeding sheep and quickly expand the number of sheep, which can be sold after a few months. For chickens, you can increase your income by selling eggs.

The more Sun Xue thought about it, the more excited she became. She even felt that this was the best way to increase her income at present.

But where does the money come from to buy sheep and chickens? Sun Xue was in trouble again.

The only people Sun Xue could think of asking for help were Uncle Jianjun and his godfather. However, the large amount of money grandpa spent on medical treatment has not yet been returned to Uncle Jianjun, so why do you have the nerve to talk to others?

Although his godfather told Sun Xue many times to tell him if he had any difficulties, he had already spent a lot of money on buying new year's goods for the family during the Chinese New Year...

After thinking about it, Sun Xue gave up the idea of ​​borrowing money.

When Sun Xue was worrying about money, she saw the bicycle on the ground at a glance.

"Yes, if I sell the bike, won't the money problem be solved?"

right! This matter has been decided.

Although it was not easy to get this bicycle, Sun Xue himself liked it very much. However, for the sake of her immediate life, she could only reluctantly part ways with her. This bicycle is in good condition, and Sun Xue maintains it well. It should be no problem to sell it for a few hundred yuan.

Early the next morning, Sun Xue cleaned the bicycle inside and out. Before going out, he told Old Man Sun that he would go to the street to buy some school supplies.

When she came back, Sun Xue was carrying milk powder she bought for Old Man Sun, sausages she bought for her younger brother, and 300 yuan in her pocket.

Sun Xue told Old Man Sun about his decision to raise sheep and chickens.

After hearing this, Old Man Sun smiled and asked Sun Xue: "How many sheep are you going to raise? How many chickens are you going to raise?"

This question stopped Sun Xue, as he had indeed not seriously considered this issue.

"Grandpa, how much does a lamb cost? How much does a chicken cost?"

"A lamb costs about 100 yuan, and a chicken costs a few cents to one or two yuan."

"Um...then raise 2 sheep and 50 chickens."

Sun Xue thought for a few seconds and then answered. Sun Xue now has 300 yuan in her pocket. She has left some daily allowance for her family, and can only buy so much for the rest.

Old Man Sun shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it later."

Sun Xue knew that grandpa must be worried about money.

"Grandpa, now, I will buy it tomorrow. I have money."

As she said this, Sun Xue took out 300 yuan from her pocket and showed it to her grandfather.

"Sun Xue, where did this money come from?" Grandpa asked puzzledly.

"I sold my bike!"

Sun Xue said calmly.
