Reborn to Strive

Anshan Town is small, and it is the only primary school in Anshan Town.

It used to be only a long three-story building as a teaching building, but in the past few years, more and more students have entered the school, and the building is not enough. In the past two years, the basketball court that used to belong to the town's chemical fertilizer factory was demolished. And some houses, built an extra teaching building.

Last year, there were more than 200 students enrolled in the first grade of Anshan Town Primary School, who were divided into six classes. If this situation continues, the teaching buildings of Anshan Town Primary School will not be enough.

Of course, the ordinary residents of the town don't think about this matter, they just feel... It's a bit crowded to pick up and drop off from school every day.

This is also related to the fact that there are more and more people setting up stalls at the entrance of the primary school in Anshan Town.

People living near the small town are mostly retired teachers, retired workers and so on. There are not many shops, but there are quite a few people who set up stalls.

Ling Shengqiang is a second-grade student in Anshan Town Primary School.

His home is in the town, not far from the school, and he goes to and from school by himself every day.

Early this morning, he got up early, ready to go to school.

"Qiangqiang, buy yourself some breakfast." Before Ling Shengqiang went out, his mother stopped him and gave him a dollar.

Ling Shengqiang's parents have to work, so their house fires at night, and they buy breakfast.

Ling Shengqiang took the money and walked to school while thinking about what to have for breakfast today.

Is it to eat buns?Or eat wontons?

Others are small, rice balls and biscuits for [-] cents are enough, you can also buy these two, save [-] cents to buy other snacks...

Ling Shengqiang thought as he walked towards the school. Halfway there, he found that the house near the school, which was at a fork in the road and had just been rebuilt recently, now faced both sides of the road, with its doors open and many things displayed.

Is there a small shop here?

No, it's not just the canteen. There is a signboard on each of the two gates, with "Huaguang Stationery" written on one side and "Dalin Non-staple Food" written on the other.

This is a shop that sells snacks and stationery?

Ling Shengqiang passed by here every day, watching the original dilapidated house being repaired little by little, and was full of curiosity about this store.

He ducked into the shop.

There are all kinds of snacks in the store, and they also sell pencils, pens, ballpoint pens, erasers, etc., and of course there are many books.

Ling Shengqiang was blindsided!

But he didn't buy anything, he didn't eat breakfast, and hurried to school.

Ling Shengqiang continued to walk forward, and then he saw a familiar stall. With his mouth watering, he ran towards that stall, squeezed into the crowd and handed out a dollar: "I want a big skewer of tenderloin with eggs!"

His favorite food recently is this pork tenderloin.

A large string of tenderloin with an egg on top, a total of [-] yuan, he used it for breakfast, it was enough.

If you can afford this, you will have a lot of face.

After Ling Shengqiang finished eating, he wiped his mouth and entered the school. When it was time to leave...

He ran out of money and couldn't afford snacks, so he ignored fried skewers, stinky tofu, tea eggs, etc., and rushed all the way to that small shop.

In the old stationery store in the town, the counters are very high, and the people inside are serious, so it’s fine to go with your parents. If Ling Shengqiang goes by himself, people don’t like him, and he doesn’t dare to talk to others... I often go in and look around it came out.

But here, many things are within his reach.

Moreover, such a small shop will not put any pressure on him, he can look through all kinds of things at will here.

For example, he couldn't tell how much he liked the bag with the Ultraman printed on it.

"What is this?" Ling Shengqiang asked.

As soon as he asked, a young woman in her twenties said softly, "This is a pencil case for pens."

Ling Shengqiang thinks that a pencil case is better for pens, but he likes the Ultraman on this bag!

Wait, there is also Ultraman on the schoolbag hanging next to him!

Ling Shengqiang's eyes lit up.

The young woman who spoke to Ling Shengqiang was Zhao Qiujuan.

Shi Dalin and his wife's store opened on the first day today, and she came here to help look after it.

You can buy most of the things in this store, but there are not many types, such as soy sauce, there are only two types in total.

The most things in the store are stationery and snacks.

During the day, only a few people from nearby came to buy some oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar here and there, but now the store is full of children.

"How much is this eraser?"

"I want to buy this pen!"

"Give me a pack of Mimi Shrimp Crackers."

"I want to go to Haojia."

……

Zhao Qiujuan, Shi Dalin, and Zhao Meiyun were not very proficient in taking things and collecting money, and they were very busy.

Some children in the fifth and sixth grades have a lot of money on hand, and some people even saw that a pencil case of five yuan was good, and bought it directly.

There are also some children who are picked up by their parents, and the parents bring their children in, which is even more generous.

Seeing this, Zhao Qiujuan plucked up the courage to introduce to them: "This pencil case is used by people in big cities now, and it sells very well."

"That schoolbag is acquainted, one eighteen, we sold it very cheaply."

"What do you want to eat, kid?"

……

Zhao Qiujuan has been collecting money almost all the time.

The children in the school are opened for each grade and grade separately. After all the children are released, it is already more than an hour later.

Finally, no one came to the store, so Zhao Qiujuan and the others took out the gas stove and started cooking. As for the rice, it was already cooked in a rice cooker.

This store needs someone to watch it all day, so they just eat in the store.

After they finished the dishes, Shi Dashan and his wife, who had set up a stall not far away, followed them.

Shi Dalin called Shi Dashan and the others to eat in their shop.

When Shi Dashan and Chen Xiaofen came in from the outside, they were carrying a bowl with some meat dishes from their fried skewers stall.

The fried tenderloin, ham sausage, sausage, and seven or eight chicken wing tips are placed in a bowl, exuding a tempting aroma.

Chen Xiaofen put it on the counter: "I took some things and came over to add more dishes.

This shop is quite small, they can only put the dishes on the counter when they eat, bring a bowl for themselves, and eat while standing.

The conditions are simple, but everyone is very happy.

Shi Dashan and his wife originally didn't want to leave their hometown. After all, they couldn't speak the language outside, and they didn't know anyone.

But when they made money recently, they realized that it was good.

Among other things, how could they eat meat every day in the mountains?

Now not only do they eat meat every day, they occasionally sell well, earning 100 yuan a day!

On average, they can earn two thousand a month.

God, this is two thousand!

In their mountains, the gift money for marrying a daughter-in-law is only one or two thousand!

When they asked their eldest son to follow Shi Zhen to work, they wanted him to work hard outside for a few years, earn one or two thousand, and then go back to marry a wife.

But now... What is one or two thousand?

Shi Dashan has swollen recently, and plans to buy a color TV as well.

Speaking of color TV, Shi Dalin also moved the color TV to the canteen. His store also has business during the day, and people nearby will come to buy things, but there are not many people, so he can sit in the store with Zhao Meiyun. watch TV.

In winter, you can add a curtain to the front door to keep out the wind, and in summer you can blow an electric fan inside the house... Opening a shop is really much more comfortable than selling fried skewers outside.

They were eating when Shi Zhen came.

Seeing Shi Zhen, Zhao Meiyun hurriedly called Shi Zhen to eat, and brought out the dishes reserved for Shi Zhen. Shi Zhen said before that he might come later, so they ate first.

Shi Zhen asked how the business was going.

"Business is good," Shi Dalin smiled, "It's just that I don't have much work to do during the day, so I feel a little uncomfortable."

Shi Zhen smiled, and asked Shi Dashan how their business was.

Shi Dashan was happy: "Business is going well! I plan to buy the bicycle that your sister Qiujuan bought for Xingxing."

Zhao Qiujuan bought a pink women's bicycle a few days ago.

The tires of this car were not big, and it was a bit low. Zhao Qiujuan sat on it and her toes could touch the ground, so she quickly learned to ride a bike.

It was the first time Shi Zhen saw her riding a bicycle. She was sitting on the bicycle with her head raised high, her face was full of smiles, she was young and full of vigor.

Shi Zhen liked her like this.

He even felt that Zhao Qiujuan was much more beautiful.

In the past, Zhao Qiujuan never dressed herself up.

She looks ordinary, but to be honest, her facial features are not flawed.

Her skin is dark, but not rough, her hair is a little rough, but very much, her eyebrows are scattered, but thick black, her eyes are inner double, neither big nor small...

After buying a bicycle, Zhao Qiujuan cut off her long hair that had been raised for several years, and bought some new clothes, perhaps to match her own bicycle.

Shi Zhen noticed that she still wore a little lipstick today, and her eyebrows were obviously trimmed.

Zhao Qiujuan's original eyebrows were black and thick. After some of them were pulled out, she became more delicate. Her skin was dark, and her lips were about the same color as her skin. She put on some lipstick and looked more energetic.

In fact, Zhao Dongjuan is not prettier than Zhao Qiujuan, it's just that Zhao Qiujuan didn't dress up before.

"Sister, you look very beautiful today." Shi Zhen smiled.

Zhao Qiujuan's eyes lit up all of a sudden.

Chen Xiaofen also said: "Qiujuan is not only beautiful today, she is becoming more and more beautiful recently."

Shi Zhen noticed that Zhao Qiujuan, who was praised, was in a particularly good mood.

Shi Zhen chatted with Shi Dashan and the others about Shi Xingxing: "Xingxing is still embroidering."

"That's right, she embroiders at home and cooks as well." Chen Xiaofen said.

"Auntie, have you ever thought about letting Xing Xing come out to set up a stall?"

"Then there will be no one in the house..." Chen Xiaofen struggled, now that there are so many people in his family, he needs someone to cook at home.

Shi Zhendao: "If you only sell breakfast, don't delay the cooking at home, or you can let brother Xing Chao cook, just give him money."

"That's right! Oops, I just found out now that Xing Chao is so picky!" Chen Xiaofen felt a little helpless when she mentioned her second son.

In the mountains before, she only thought that her second son was a bit stingy, but now that she came out, she realized...it's not a bit stingy anymore, there are many, many stingy ones!

But her son is in his twenties, and she has nothing to do with him.

It's better than throwing money away.

As for the daughter... Chen Xiaofen said: "Ah Zhen, Xing Xing's words... what do you think she can do?"

Shi Zhendao: "Auntie, you can ask Xing Xing to come out and sell egg pancakes."

Take the flat iron pan that Chen Xiaofen uses to sell teppanyaki. If you buy a round one, you can fry omelets and sell it.

Shi Zhen told Chen Xiaofen how to make two kinds of omelet pancakes, Chen Xiaofen became interested immediately, and planned to go back at night, so she asked her daughter to use their pot for making sizzling tenderloin and try to make it.

At this time, Shi Zhen looked at Shi Dalin and Zhao Meiyun again: "Dad, Aunt Zhao, you should familiarize yourself with this small store first. After you get familiar with it, you can sell other things when you go to school in the morning and after school in the evening."

"What are we selling?" Zhao Meiyun asked, she wanted to earn more money.

"For example, selling instant noodles." Shi Zhen laughed.

At this time, the child liked instant noodles very much. He remembered that a few years later in his previous life, there would be a stall selling instant noodles at the gate of the primary school.

A pack of freshly cooked instant noodles sells for one yuan, and a piece of ham sausage is one yuan and five. At that time, there were quite a few children who bought this for breakfast.

Selling this alone won't make much money, but Shi Dalin and Zhao Meiyun will sell it along the way while opening a store, even if they sell ten packs a day, they can earn five yuan.

At this time, the purchase price of instant noodles is usually about [-] cents or [-] cents. For some rural children, they are even luxury goods, and they can be sold for one yuan a bowl.

In addition, at night, a pack of instant noodles is divided into two parts and placed in plastic cups, and a plastic fork is given, and many hungry children will come to buy them after school.

Vermicelli soup can also be sold in this way.

Shi Zhen came up with some ideas at random, and the ones he chose were those who didn't pay much attention to cooking skills.

Zhao Meiyun and Shi Dalin have no cooking skills.Zhao Meiyun believed in Shi Zhen, and felt that this could be done as soon as she heard it: "When the weather is good, we can set up a folding table and a few stools at the door, and we can sell instant noodles in the morning!"

A few days later, Monday.

Ling Shengqiang lived with his grandparents on Saturdays and Sundays.

His grandparents are all retired workers, their wages are not lower than his parents, and they give him generous pocket money, so that when he goes to school on Monday, he has five yuan in his pocket!

He is going to buy a pencil case.

Well, in that little shop, some toys look really nice too...

Ling Shengqiang arrived at the small shop early in the morning to buy a pencil case.

He bought a pencil case worth three yuan, and after buying it, he suddenly saw a piece of cardboard next to it that said "instant noodles for one yuan", and there was a table next to it...

"This place sells instant noodles?" Ling Shengqiang asked.

"Yeah," Zhao Meiyun asked with a smile, "Do you want it? If you want it, I'll burn it for you."

"Yes!" Ling Shengqiang said without thinking.

"Do you want to add ham sausage? Ham sausage fifty cents."

"Yes!" Ling Shengqiang still has two yuan in his hand, and he spends money generously.

There is a stove in the store. Zhao Meiyun heats water in the pot, unpacks a bag of instant noodles and puts them in for cooking, then puts a piece of ham sausage into it...

After a while, she brought Ling Shengqiang a bowl of instant noodles.

Ling Shengqiang ate very satisfyingly.

The other children who came to school saw... Immediately, someone came to buy instant noodles and ate them.

They usually go to the canteen to buy instant noodles in bags, and the cheapest ones cost [-] cents and [-] cents, but now they sell the cooked ones for [-] yuan, which they don't think is expensive at all.

Zhao Meiyun sold about [-] packs of instant noodles this morning.

In the evening, she followed Shi Zhen's instructions, boiled instant noodles and put them in disposable plastic cups, and put a slice of ham sausage in each cup of instant noodles, and sold them for [-] cents a cup.

The children in the town had a lot of pocket money, and many of them paid for it. Later, many children waited around her, waiting for her to cook the instant noodles.

After such a day, Zhao Meiyun earned more than [-] yuan just by selling instant noodles.

Of course, this is the first day, so I earn more, but in the future...can she sell something else!

Such as tea egg vermicelli soup or something!

She spends a lot of time during the day, and after making it, she sells it at the door of the store, and she can earn a little bit.

As for the shop being very lively after school at night, if she sells these, Shi Dalin can't take care of it alone... Isn't Qiujuan helping her?

After Zhao Qiujuan set up the stall in the morning, she came to sit in the store, and embroidered sweaters were also embroidered here, which could help her.

Some time ago, Zhao Dongjuan's ups and downs made Zhao Meiyun very uneasy.

But then she got sick and Shi Dalin didn't dislike her at all. Now she opened a shop with Shi Dalin and earned a lot of money. The fear in her heart disappeared immediately.

She said to Zhao Qiujuan in private: "Qiujuan, now we open this store and earn more than selling fried skewers at a stall. I guess it won't be long before I can pay you back, and then I will pay Ah Zhen some money...you If you want to buy a house next year, you can borrow money from your father, and we will definitely have money by then."

"Yes." Zhao Qiujuan was delighted.

She has been setting up a stall selling rice balls in the town for a long time, and many people in the town know her, and now her parents have opened a shop, and she helps in the shop...

People in the neighborhood think she is a diligent girl, and many people say she is beautiful.

In the past few days, someone even inquired about her situation and wanted to match her... She was very happy in her heart.
