Zheng Juzi was silent. When he was young, he was ignorant and thought that hard work could change everything. He always thought that the hare would sleep during the race between the tortoise and the hare. But the fact is that the hare may lose the race because of sleeping, but as long as it doesn’t sleep, the tortoise will not be able to outrun it no matter how hard it tries.

But she is a person who can easily be self-consistent in her logic - everyone has different talents, so if you work hard on your own talents, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

For example, if the tortoise doesn't race with the hare, wouldn't it be enough for them to compete in diving or in living longer? There is not only one track in the world.

If she had to stick to one path, as a small town test-taker she would give it her all and try her best to make up for it.

"You mean she is talented in handicrafts?" Zheng Juzi asked.

Zheng Hanqiu nodded. She was not a professional, but she looked quite impressed. "I learned all this by watching videos. Although it was simple and took me a short time to learn, I had come across it before and knew what it was like. She had never been exposed to it before, but she was able to learn it right away and even had some ideas of her own."

"So strong?" As a person with clumsy hands, she couldn't even imitate what she saw in the video. It was incredible that others could come up with their own ideas in just a few days.

Zheng Hanqiu gestured for her to look at the finished product in his hand: "Don't you think she did a good job? At least her aesthetics are not low-class at all."

It does look exquisite and special, and Zheng Juzi did not hide her shortcomings in some aspects. "I think it's very good, but I know before that what I think is very good may be garbage in your eyes."

Some things are hard to explain, but there is a difference between having talent and not having talent, just like the ability to appreciate, some people are born with the ability, some can acquire it through learning, and some are completely in the dark.

Zheng Hanqiu agreed.

It's one thing to be "modest" to say it to yourself, but it's another thing for her to concede. Zheng Juzi was a little angry: "You don't even deny it?"

Zheng Hanqiu pretended to be puzzled: "It's a good thing that you have self-awareness. Why should I deny it?"

Sure enough, it takes a long time for the two to become friendly sisters.

Liu Ying did things very smoothly over the next few days. Although she only worked at noon every day, she was very fast.

"That's enough." Zheng Juzi said to her seriously, "Stop for a moment and I'll tell you something."

Liu Ying also became nervous, "What's the matter?"

Zheng Juzi said, "I'll charge you 3 cents for each of these hair ornaments you made, but if you join us to sell at the town fair tomorrow, I'll give you 1 cents for each one you sell."

"How much?" Liu Ying suspected that she had heard it wrongly.

Zheng Juzi repeated his conditions again.

"I..." Liu Ying had never set up a stall and didn't know how to do it, but she wanted to make money.

What their family lacks most now is money.

"But I have classes tomorrow morning." Liu Ying hesitated when she thought that tomorrow was Saturday and she still had half a day of classes in the morning.

It’s not that she has never asked for leave before. It was because of family matters. She would feel uncomfortable if she asked for leave to set up a stall.

Zheng Juzi had no suggestions and let her choose for herself.

Her hands were very fast and she could make 50 hair ornaments in about an hour and a half, earning about 7 cents, which was considered a high income for hourly workers at that time. It couldn't solve any big problems, but it should be enough to feed the family.

Setting up a stall outside will interfere with your studies and there are uncertainties, so your income will be much higher.

"If you decide to set up a stall with me tomorrow, then come with me to ask for leave from the teacher in the afternoon." Seeing her tangled look, Zheng Juzi softened her heart again, "It's okay if you don't want to delay your studies. Tomorrow afternoon is a day off, and we can set up a stall in front of the garment factory."

Is there still such an opportunity? Liu Ying immediately said: "Well, I will go to set up a stall with you tomorrow afternoon."

Zheng Juzi nodded, "Okay, see you tomorrow."

Liu Ying: “Okay.”

Zheng Juzi: "Okay, let's go set up the stall after school tomorrow and then go home for dinner."

Liu Ying, who had no idea about the process, said yes naturally, feeling nervous but also a little expectant.

Zheng Hanqiu was a little confused: "You personally took her to set up the stall?"

"We're just classmates. I never thought you were such a helpful person before."

Zheng Juzi didn't think there was anything wrong and said, "That's because you don't need my help."

Zheng Hanqiu retorted: "Who said that? At least I really need your help."

Zheng Juzi snorted coldly, with a look of contempt in her eyes, "The help you need is just for me to help share your work so that you can get off work earlier or to help you take the blame, but what she needs is help to survive, which is completely different."

"I admit that they are two different things, but I am somewhat moved by their dedication."

"Nothing." Zheng Juzi said calmly, "Someone once held an umbrella for me, so I wondered if I could also protect others from the rain."

"Suppressing a rain is just a rain after all." Zheng Hanqiu reminded.

"I know, but maybe it will grow up after this rain?" Zheng Juzi said optimistically. Isn't that what she is like?

Zheng Hanqiu didn't say anything else, "Okay, as long as you make your decision, I'll go home tomorrow."

"No."

“I don’t know how to set up a stall.”

"Then you must go too!"

"You don't need me as a person."

"I just don't want you to have it too easy, okay?" Zheng Juzi didn't want to reason, "I can't feel at ease without you by my side."

Zheng Hanqiu...I'd never trust you.

"You might accumulate merit by helping your classmates." Zheng Juzi deliberately tempted.

Zheng Hanqiu tempted him back: "What I lack is merit? What I lack is the distance between me and you."

"Sister, it's too polite to say that," Zheng Juzi said with a fake smile, "I really like having you by my side."

After reviewing their lessons in the evening, the two sisters checked Zheng Feizhou's homework as usual.

I have to say that the protagonist's brain is really sharp. He does his homework well even though he skipped a grade.

They are in good physical condition and have all learned some self-defense skills from Luo Cheng and Song Xing, but they are not as good as Zheng Feizhou.

The most annoying thing is his height. Science has proven that boys should develop later in life to conform to scientific laws, but the fact is that Zheng Feizhou is growing fast at such a young age.

Putting aside whether he has grown up internally, his height is already taller than that of his two sisters, which more or less brings some pressure to the two sisters - what if he can no longer control himself in the future?

"Hanqiu, Hanqiu." A low voice came from outside.

"Who?" Zheng Juzi asked.

Zheng Hanqiu said: "The voice sounds like Zheng Mengmeng."

Zheng Juzi didn't like Zheng Mengmeng at all, and asked unhappily, "Why did she come to see you?"

"I don't know." Zheng Hanqiu said as he walked outside, "Wait for me."

Zheng Juzi knocked on his brother's desk and said, "Wait for me here. I'll be back soon."

Zheng Feizhou raised his left eyebrow slightly: "Second sister, let's go eavesdrop together."

Zheng Juzi...

Zheng Feizhou flattered: "I'll cover you."

Zheng Juzi was speechless: "I need you to cover for me? I'm not going to be a thief."

Zheng Feizhou closed his textbook as he spoke, "It's all the same. I'll protect my second sister."

"I've already told you that I won't steal." Zheng Juzi emphasized.
