After purchasing all the daily necessities, Liang Sumei left Luo Jinqiu and her sister at the station and told them to wait for her there for a while, saying that she needed to meet a friend.

"My daughter, you have to hurry up, otherwise the car will leave soon!" Luo Jinqiu looked at her daughter worriedly and secretly made up her mind that if Liang Sumei could not catch this bus in the end, then neither she nor Xiaoling would choose to return by bus.

"Mom, don't worry. The departure time of the vehicle is fixed. I will definitely come back early." Liang Sumei responded in a reassuring tone.

Liang Sumei arrived at Guan Haishan's house, raised her hand and knocked on the door a few times. Soon, a young girl came to answer the door.

"Sister, who are you looking for?" The little girl raised her head and looked at Liang Sumei curiously.

The little girl's big watery eyes were quite similar to Guan Haishan's. Liang Sumei guessed that the lovely child in front of her should be Guan Haishan's daughter, so she asked, "Little sister, is your father home now?"

The little girl nodded vigorously, and then said in her soft and lovely voice: "Yes, I'm at home!" Then, she ran into the house like a happy little bird, and kept shouting: "Dad, a sister is here to see you!"

Guan Haishan hurried out of the door after hearing his daughter's cry. He quickly stretched out his arms, hugged his daughter tightly in his arms, and said lovingly: "Xiao Min, run slowly, be careful not to fall."

At this time, a woman also walked out of the house. She was Guan Haishan's wife, Bao Wenli. Bao Wenli stared at Liang Sumei curiously and asked in confusion, "Who is this?"

Liang Sumei had a friendly smile on her face and greeted politely: "Hello sister-in-law, I am Brother Guan's client." She was a little conflicted, worried about causing unnecessary misunderstandings, so she did not mention her friendship with Guan Haishan.

Guan Haishan was particularly happy when he saw Liang Sumei. He knew that Liang Sumei must have brought the bean sprouts mentioned earlier. When he noticed that Liang Sumei was carrying a bag behind her, he immediately walked up to her and enthusiastically helped her put the bag down.

Guan Haishan and Bao Wenli warmly welcomed Liang Sumei into the house. Bao Wenli smiled and poured a cup of warm water for Liang Sumei, who happily took the cup.

"Brother Guan, please open it and have a look. This is the goods I brought specially for you!" Liang Sumei stared at the bean sprouts in the snakeskin bag eagerly and winked at Guan Haishan.

Guan Haishan couldn't wait to open the bag, and saw the fresh bean sprouts inside, which seemed to be so tender that they could squeeze out water. He carefully picked up a few bean sprouts, put them close to his nose and smelled them, and a fresh fragrance came to his nose.

"Sister, you have to teach me how to cook these bean sprouts, so that I can tell customers the specific methods when I sell them." Guan Haishan looked at Liang Sumei with anticipation.

"Sister-in-law, can I borrow your stove?" Liang Sumei turned and looked at Bao Wenli.

Bao Wenli nodded and said, "No problem!" She quickly prepared the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and other condiments and handed them to Liang Sumei. Liang Sumei skillfully picked up the spatula and began to stir-fry the delicious stir-fried bean sprouts. For a moment, the kitchen was filled with fragrance. When Bao Wenli smelled this tempting fragrance, she couldn't help but raise her mouth corners, revealing a satisfied smile, and her eyes became bright.

The dish was cooked and served. Bao Wenli quickly picked up the chopsticks and took a bite to taste it carefully. She felt that the dish was crispy and delicious. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's so delicious!"

Seeing his wife enjoying the dish so much, Guan Haishan also took a bite with his chopsticks, but this bite seemed far from satisfying his taste buds, so he took another big bite. While chewing the food in his mouth, he couldn't help but make a "hmm" sound to express his appreciation for the dish.

Bao Wenli frowned slightly when she saw this, pretending to be angry and said, "Lao Guan, why did you eat it all? You didn't even leave some for Xiao Min to try."

Hearing this, Guan Haishan realized that he had lost his composure and quickly responded: "Oh, look at my memory. Xiao Min, come and try it. It's the most delicious thing you have never tasted before!" As he spoke, he didn't even have time to swallow the food in his mouth. He hurriedly picked up Xiao Min and picked up a mouthful of food and put it into Xiao Min's mouth.

After Xiao Min chewed the food into pieces, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Bao Wenli asked kindly: "Xiao Min, do you think it tastes good?"

Xiao Min nodded vigorously and replied, "It's delicious, especially crispy."

Guan Haishan looked at Liang Sumei with great joy and said confidently: "If we sell these bean sprouts on the black market, they will definitely be sold out!"

"Really?" Liang Sumei's eyes were full of doubt and suspicion. She had never been involved in the black market and always believed that the black market was a place for illegal transactions. People there would act cautiously, so the sales volume might not be very high. However, when she saw Guan Haishan so confident, her heart began to waver and she had some doubts about her past ideas.

"If I say it will sell well, it will!" Guan Haishan patted his chest vigorously and gave a solemn promise. Then, he gently placed the bean sprouts on the scale and weighed them. The pointer pointed steadily to the 80-jin mark. Then, he skillfully opened the locked drawer, took out eight neatly arranged banknotes from it and handed them to Liang Sumei, and said with concern: "Next time, you can just deliver the goods to the bus station, and I will meet you there. It is not easy for a little girl like you to carry 80-jin of goods."

Liang Sumei felt a warm current in her heart, her eyes moistened slightly, and her gratitude was beyond words. She said softly, "Thank you, Brother Guan." Worried that Luo Jinqiu would be anxious waiting, she did not stay too long. After quickly collecting the eight yuan, she said goodbye to Guan Haishan and his family, and hurriedly left in the direction of the station.

In a small county town, the population is at least more than 100,000. Guan Haishan chose a remote path and carried bean sprouts to the black market to sell them. These bean sprouts were very novel to the local customers, and they stopped to watch out of curiosity at first. Seeing this, Guan Haishan took the initiative to introduce the cooking and eating methods of bean sprouts to the customers in detail.

Thanks to Guan Haishan's enthusiastic explanation and the freshness of the bean sprouts, the bean sprouts were quickly sold out. Each kilogram of bean sprouts was sold for 1 cents, and the 5 kilograms of bean sprouts he brought this time could earn a profit of 80 yuan after deducting the cost. Guan Haishan secretly calculated that if he could sell 4 kilograms of bean sprouts every day, he could make 80 yuan a month just by selling bean sprouts! This number made him extremely excited, because even those who had stable jobs might not earn more than him. Not only that, these 120 kilograms of bean sprouts were obviously in short supply, and he decided to wait for Liang Sumei to come next time and tell her to carry at least 80 kilograms of bean sprouts.

Liang Sumei and Luo Jinqiu returned to the educated youth camp. As soon as they entered the door, they began to get busy and started to clean up the room. The two ran around and bought a lot of things, but the 15 yuan was almost spent. Fortunately, Guan Haishan later paid Liang Sumei 8 yuan for bean sprouts, which was barely enough to cover the food and clothing expenses for the next few days. However, Liang Sumei did not expect to rely solely on the 8 yuan to make a living. She was thinking in her mind that she would go to the county town the day after tomorrow to inquire about Guan Haishan's sales. When she took the 8 yuan from Guan Haishan, she was full of uneasiness, fearing that Guan Haishan would not be able to sell the bean sprouts, causing the bean sprouts to rot and deteriorate. So she decided to wait until the day after tomorrow to bring Guan Haishan a box of cigarettes. After all, they are now partners, and it will definitely not hurt to handle the relationship more harmoniously.

After the mother and daughter worked together to tidy up the house, Liang Suling happily lay on the brand new bed sheets, stretched her limbs to her heart's content, and exclaimed with satisfaction: "It's so comfortable!"

At this time, Luo Jinqiu suggested: "I'll go boil some hot water and we'll all take a bath, so as not to dirty the new bedding!" After that, she turned and walked towards the kitchen.
