Chapter 3 Be ambitious

Fresh corn on the cob was very popular. Before the siblings stood by the roadside, someone came up to inquire.

"How much is a stick?"

"Two dollars and three sticks."

"It's so expensive? What, isn't it just corn on the cob? I'll buy some worthless things for [-] cents a cob." A middle-aged woman in her forties was rudely pulling a sack, picking out large corn stick to take.

"No, two yuan and three sticks is already the lowest price. If you think it's too expensive, go and look elsewhere." Su Jian covered her pockets and snatched the corn back from her hand.

"You little girl, you are stubborn, how can there be such a price in the market? Are you so young that you lose money? Are you poor and crazy?"

Holding Su Dan's arm, she glanced at the woman, and said indifferently, "The market price is fair and reasonable. I didn't sell it by force. You don't have to speak so harshly."

These corns were planted by her parents early in the morning. The second elder of the Su family lived with Su Mingfeng, but their household registrations were still in the countryside. The dry and paddy fields combined totaled more than ten mu.

In order to pay off the debt as soon as possible, Su Mingcheng contracted the land that others did not plant, which was about [-] mu. The couple were reluctant to hire people, they plowed in spring and harvested autumn by themselves, and they were still busy in the fields at eleven or twelve o'clock at night.

Who knows dishes on the menu, A Journey!
Why are the fresh vegetables obtained by her parents' sweat and eight petals of labor so cheap for others?

"I said, why do you speak so badly, you girl? You are wearing the school uniform of the No. [-] Middle School, hehe, let me just say, what kind of good students can a dilapidated school at the end of the crane produce?"

Su Jian didn't even give her a look, picked up a stick and tore open the tender green leaves and shouted, "Fresh corn, sweet and glutinous sticky corn, two yuan and three sticks, come and buy it."

Hearing that it was sticky corn, some people started to fight for it.

During this period, everyone planted old corn, which tasted hard and was not as delicious as sticky corn. It was a profit to be able to buy fresh sticky corn at this price.

Seeing his sister yelling, Su Dan followed suit and shouted loudly, "Sticky corn, sticky corn, only fifty sticks, first come, first served."

After a while, the two sacks of corn were sold out for a total of 33 yuan.

"Sister, you are so powerful, why didn't I come here to sell corn to make money?" Su Dan excitedly put away the sack and put it on the back rack of his bicycle.

Su Jian looked at him. His 14-year-old brother was sunny and handsome. Unfortunately, he failed the college entrance examination and never recovered. After his mother passed away, he drank alcohol all day long. At the age of 28, he had a perforated stomach and died in a rented house.

"Xiao Dan, you put your mind on your studies, do you hear me?"

She saw through Su Dan's thoughts at a glance, she didn't want to study, she always thought about raining money and reducing the pressure on her parents.

"Sister, I'm not a student, so I might as well come down and work."

"you dare!"

She was very angry, "The more others look down on us, the better we will do. Dad studied accounting back then, and we all have his genes. As long as you study hard, you will be able to read well."

Knowing that her father's job was replaced by her second uncle, Su Jian made up her mind to get into the best high school and the highest university, so that her parents could feel proud.

Both of them are in the same junior high school, Su Dan is in the first year of junior high school, and she is in the third year of junior high school.

"Sister, didn't you ask about Wang Chunmei's volunteering?"

"If you don't ask, you can't say anything good about her."

After parting, she entered the class, went to her seat and sat down.

The deskmate Zhang Hui, with two long ponytails, grabbed her arm.

"Su Jian, I heard that your second aunt has a good relationship with the admissions teacher of the vocational school, can you introduce me?"
