Chapter 33: Earn yourself


On the first day of learning to ride a bicycle, Li Wei really didn't tame the iron horse, but instead threw his knees bruised. Li Wei really didn't believe in this evil, she could even ride on horseback, and even the third brother praised her good riding skills and would lose to an iron shelf.
The next day she got up early and still started learning to drive. This time Li Minghua did not come to help her with the car. Both of them couldn't see through the daughter's obsession. The cowardly, frizzy, and persevering daughter seemed to suddenly change herself.
With Li Wei's unremitting efforts, she finally understood the trick. The hands and feet can be perfectly coordinated, and the car gradually stabilized and won’t fall to the west. After learning to use the brakes flexibly, she didn’t. So easy to fall.
When Li Wei rode the car adeptly, she showed off to Li Minghua: "Dad, look at me finally tame this iron horse."
Li Minghua smiled and said, "You are also great, and it took only two days to learn."
Because Li Wei can ride horses and train horses, relying on a little memory of his body, it is not difficult to learn to ride in a short time. There is not much time left for Li Wei, and she can't spend all of her time taming this iron horse.
After learning to ride a bicycle, it's time to prepare a wooden box. Li Wei rummaged through the house and finally found a wooden box of the right size. He removed a torn quilt that was not worn and enclosed the box well. Then he fixed the box to the back seat of the car with ropes.
After fixing it, she rode it on and tried it several times, even if it was full of things, and made sure that the box would not fall apart or fall.
Next is the capital, Li Wei did not want to ask Liu Chunzhi for it. She found the iron box and cleaned up the scattered money inside. The last time I went to the city to buy materials, I spent a fortune, and I still have more than 30 yuan. This is all her belongings. It’s the first time to sell in wholesale, but I don’t know what the business is like, so I should buy less. Sorbet is not comparable to other things, and the weather is so hot that it cannot be turned into one's own hands.
Li Wei thought for a while, so he only took ten yuan, a lot of change.
"Mom, I'm out, I might be back later."
Liu Chunzhi was chopping pig grass. Seeing that she was going out, he raised his head and glanced at her, and said with concern: "Where are you going?"
"I... go shopping nearby." Li Wei did not tell Liu Chunzhi the truth.
There was nothing at home, and Liu Chunzhi didn't make any extra questions to Li Wei, so she continued to work. Li Wei took the money and rode out on that seemingly huge bicycle.
Liu Chunzhi heard the ringing of the car for a while, then turned his head and glanced, asking what her daughter was going to do.
Li Wei rode to the sorbet factory on the side of Baisha River. She bought the general sorbet with the wholesale price of two cents for one dollar, and the more expensive ice cream was purchased for five cents. The aunt of the sorbet factory told her this The ice cream can be sold for a dime. The first time he did this kind of business, Li Wei was very conservative and only bought ice cream for one dollar.
The wooden box is not big. Seventy well-wrapped sorbets will almost fill the wooden box.
The goods were loaded and paid. Li Wei rode off and set off. The hot sun was scorching the earth, and soon his face was covered with sweat, and the clothes on his back were tightly attached to his body.
Li Wei began to try to yell: "Sorbet! Sorbet!" It seemed that he couldn't let go of it, and he seemed insufficiently breathed, and the sound of the words was a little trembling. She took a deep breath, how could she be stumped by this thing after the storm?
Although she had never done anything like this, she didn't let her go through fire and water, as long as she put down her body completely, there was nothing she could do.
When Li Wei thought of the rematch, she gained two points of strength. She raised her voice and shouted, "Sorbet! Sorbet!"
Less than one mile after riding, I saw two children running up, looking greedy: "Does my sister sell sorbets?"
"Yeah, it's hot, do you want two yuan to cool off?"
After successfully selling two items, it is considered to be opened. After making the first sale, Li Wei didn't feel any burden anymore, and the shouts became louder.
Walking through the village, Li Wei rode a bicycle to many places with the memory of the original owner left in his body. Because of the hot weather, 70 sorbets sold out in less than one afternoon. After selling this box, Li Wei saw that the sun was still high, and went back to buy a batch of goods. After the sun went down, she walked back home vacantly.
With a sore throat and weak legs, Li Wei just wanted to take a shower, then fell to bed and fell asleep.
There were two sorbets in the wooden box, and Li Wei took one to honor Liu Chunzhi.
However, Liu Chunzhi had a black face: "Where will you die in the afternoon?"
"I... I went to sell sorbet." Anyway, I will be discovered sooner or later, so it's better to be honest. Li Wei lowered his head as he spoke, waiting for Liu Chunzhi's hair to fall in a docile manner.
Liu Chunzhi's eyes widened. She walked outside and took a look. The bicycle was parked there, with a wooden box on the back seat. When Li Wei went out, she thought Li Wei was going out to pretend to be something, but she didn't think much about it. She opened the lid, there was no padded jacket inside, and there was a sorbet inside.
"Are you serious about selling this?"
"Yes."
Liu Chunzhi expressionlessly took out the sorbet inside, and asked coldly: "Then how much did you sell this afternoon?"
"There are a hundred branches, and there are only two left."
Liu Chunzhi seemed to look at Li Wei in disbelief. She had prepared some words to reprimand Li Wei, but Li Wei said: "There are two remaining, which one is for mom." Liu Chunzhi was taken. The words of the daughter blocked all the reproach originally.
Seeing that his mother didn't say anything, Li Wei went back to his room and planned to lie down for a while. A sorbet went into my belly, and my dumb voice was moisturized and gradually improved.
She also wanted to go to sleep with her head covered, but then she saw Liu Chunzhi come in.
"Will you lie down before you go to bed? Get up and help me with work."
Being called, Li Wei couldn't help but sat up again, his hair reached shoulder length. She reached out and pinned the hair that fell from her ears behind her ears.
"By the way, what about the money earned from selling sorbet?" Liu Chunzhi reached out and asked Li Wei to ask for it.
Li Wei had anticipated that Liu Chunzhi would come to such a trick, but she firmly said: "Mom, I need money very much, so I can't give you this money."
"You need money, what do you do with the money?"
"Mom, I signed up for the calligraphy and painting contest and passed the preliminary round and entered the semi-finals, but I need money to participate in the competition. I know it's difficult for my family to get the money, so I have to earn it myself."
Liu Chunzhi was stunned for a few seconds after listening to her daughter's words. Later, he slapped Li Wei and said, "You have to go to things that are a waste of money. Now you have learned to make your own decisions. Why are you so disobedient?
