Traveling through the Eighth Five-Year Plan: Starting from selling fruit at a stall

Chapter 18 You Have to Plan for the Future

In the evening, Ling Yue deliberately closed the stall early.

When I got home, I found that Tongtong had fallen asleep, and Wang Zhaoyang was still writing materials under the desk lamp.

She pulled up a chair and sat down beside him.

Talked to Wang Zhaoyang about Tongtong's enrollment, and mentioned that he wanted to sell some small commodities during the school season.

Wang Zhaoyang frowned, as if he was dissatisfied with her practice of selling fruit for two days before changing careers.

"Xiaoyue, why do you think it's just a fruit? Why do you want to change careers after selling fruit for two days?"

Ling Yue explained: "I want to make some money during the school season."

"It's already August [-]th, and high schools like No. [-] Middle School and No. [-] Middle School start in September."

"It is said that Qingpu University will start school on August [-]. After all, I only have one week to prepare the goods."

"Besides, even if I sell school supplies, it won't delay me from selling fruit, so it's not considered a career change."

Wang Zhaoyang saw that she was speaking clearly and logically, and said helplessly: "I am indeed inferior to you in terms of business, but will you be too tired like this?"

Ling Yue looked at him intently, this man really cared about people!

A warm current flowed through her heart immediately.

Ling Yue said softly: "Zhaoyang, I will deal with the fruits in my hands these few days, and on August 19th, I will go to the university to sell daily necessities at the latest on NO.[-]."

"It's just that at that time, you will have to worry about Tongtong going to school."

You can't be busy with work and business, and forget about your children's schooling.

"It's easy to talk about going to school. It should be possible to go directly to the machinery factory workers' school, but Tongtong is not yet old enough. I will apply to the higher authorities and see what they say."

Speaking of this, Wang Zhaoyang felt a little helpless, "Our household registration is not here. It stands to reason that Tongtong has to go back to her hometown to study. In my opinion, it is best to move her household registration here. If she can move here, she can save a lot every year. Borrowing fee."

"The main problem now is that Tongtong is not yet six years old, and I am worried that the school will not accept her."

Ling Yue was a little surprised: "Why is there such a rule?"

When it came to children, Wang Zhaoyang's tone softened a bit, and he lost the displeasure just now, "You really decided to change your career?"

"It's decided." Ling Yue said firmly, "I told you before that selling fruit is just a transition, and I didn't want to sell it for a long time."

Speaking of this, she directly stated: "Actually, if it weren't for the lack of funds in my hand, I would have gone to the source of goods and changed my career to selling clothes."

Her words undoubtedly dropped a heavy bomb on the calm lake.

Wang Zhaoyang stared at her dumbfounded: "Xiaoyue, don't you, you still have such thoughts in the first place?"

Wang Zhaoyang saw that she happily rushed to the morning market and evening market every day, and sold them everywhere in the afternoon. Since the time she met her, he hadn't mentioned this in front of him. He once thought Ling Yue was joking.

Ling Yue raised her eyebrows proudly: "To tell you the truth, I'm even optimistic about the facade, it's over there in the department store."

Wang Zhaoyang took a breath: "When did you go to see the facade, why didn't you discuss it with me?"

He ate and lived with her under the same roof every day, yet he was kept in the dark by her.

"It's not like you don't know that I carry a burden to sell fruits every day." Ling Yue curled her lips and said nonchalantly, "Do you really think I'm just selling fruits?"

"Yes and no."

"I was looking for a suitable storefront while selling fruit. I've been around for so many days, and after looking around, I'm quite satisfied with the few storefronts in the department store."

Without waiting for Wang Zhaoyang's reaction, Ling Yue gave him another task: "By the way, you have been drawing up a lease contract at home these few days, maybe I can use it."

From Huang Guixiang and other comrades in the family courtyard, Ling Yue learned an important piece of information helplessly.

Ling Xiaoyue is illiterate.

After traveling by myself, the changes made have been great.

She used to be lazy, greedy, and stupid, but recently she suddenly opened up and started a business. Everyone can accept these changes.

But suddenly let an illiterate who can't read a few characters pick up a pen and write a "lease contract", then this thing is too unimaginable.

Don't say that other people don't believe it, and you can't get over it yourself.

It's better to leave this matter to Wang Zhaoyang. With his ability, this small lease contract still won't trouble him.

Wang Zhaoyang looked at her deeply, his eyes full of inquiry, as if he knew her for the first time.

"Xiaoyue, are you still the Xiaoyue I knew?"

Ling Xiaoyue before was too selfish, she only cared about herself every day, and didn't worry about other things at all.

But since she started selling fruit, she has changed a lot.

Not only did she keep the house in order, but she also tried every means to increase nutrition for Tongtong. In the past twenty days, Tongtong had gained weight visibly with the naked eye.

Holding her is completely different from the scrawny little girl before.

Ling Yue rolled her eyes helplessly: "I know you don't believe it, but you have to believe my vision. I will definitely not waste my hard-earned money."

"No," Wang Zhaoyang scratched his hair. He never thought that Ling Yue would say that the wind is the rain. He was still selling fruit in the morning, and at night he said that he wanted to rent a shop to sell clothes. This matter is really unacceptable to ordinary people.

In his opinion, it is good to have a stable income, why bother?
"Xiaoyue, you suddenly said that you have taken a fancy to a facade, I was not mentally prepared at all."

Ling Yue said seriously: "Zhaoyang, do you know how much money I have earned in the past twenty days?"

Wang Zhaoyang shook his head.

Since she started selling fruit, Wang Zhaoyang would come to help her all day except during the holidays. At other times, he devoted all his attention to work, and he never cared about other things.

But the most obvious thing is that the food at home has improved, people eat well, they are more energetic, and their work efficiency is higher.

Ling Yue smiled slyly: "Guess what?"

Wang Zhaoyang made a rough calculation and reported a number: "500 yuan?"

"Almost, after all, it's all used for food and expenses at home." Ling Yue nodded, and then changed his expression, as if he was asking for credit, and said happily: "I have 540 yuan in cash in my hand, and I spent I bought a second-hand tricycle for 50 yuan."

Despite mental preparation, Wang Zhaoyang was still taken aback when he heard the number.

In twenty days, she had earned his annual salary. He would never have dared to think about this before.

He looked at Ling Yue seriously, and found that she was not only dark but also thin, and couldn't help but feel distressed.

"Xiaoyue, don't be too tired, just have enough money to spend."

Ling Yue nodded: "Don't worry, I know it well."

That's the reason, but Ling Yue still has to make plans for the future.

Now they have a place to stay in Qingpu City, what if Wang Zhaoyang is laid off after the reform of the machinery factory?

Could it be that at that time, they will return to the countryside to farm?

Wang Zhaoyang also said just now that Tongtong's household registration is still in his hometown, and he and his household registration have not been moved here.

Without a registered permanent residence, there is no sense of security anywhere.

Ling Yue came here through time travel. Although they don't know where they will go in the future, if they want to take root in Qingpu City, they must have a house of their own.

Not for anything else, just for Tongtong to receive a better education, and I must not relax.

"You must take the matter of Tongtong to heart. If you can submit this application as soon as possible, please submit it as soon as possible. While there are still a few days left, you can go and ask what materials you need tomorrow. If we need to go back to our hometown, I will take advantage of it." Take some time to go back in the next few days."
