I am reborn as a fashionista

Chapter 3
Is it difficult to survive?

Not difficult.

Is it difficult to earn some money for a well-off life?
It shouldn't be too difficult.

Things like rebirth have happened, Wei Tao expected more, but only found out that his strength was a little stronger when he moved, that's all, leaving things like assistants, the system, the old man...

nothing.

It's also a good thing to have shoulder strength.

The house was empty, and there was nothing worth cleaning up for a long time, so the next morning, before four o'clock, the mother and wife rode bicycles all the way to the largest vegetable wholesale market in the south of the city that they had agreed the day before to meet their aunt. The laid-off colleague introduced - Aunt Liu.

In Wei Tao's mind, there are a few small businesses that are worth doing, and they can all be done well. It is not difficult to achieve a well-off life, but he and his mother only have about 5000 yuan left. Borrowing money from others , it must not be done unless it is absolutely necessary.What's more, knowing and getting results by doing it are two different things.Aunt Si is right about one point, the capital is small, and the probability of losing money is small.There is no room for fault tolerance for the money at home. Borrowing money is equivalent to further compressing the room for fault tolerance.

"Aunt Liu, I'm coming."

At this stage in his memory, Wei Tao spent most of his time in Internet cafes, waiting for possible work assignments in the technical school. He didn't know how his mother got on this road, nor did he appreciate the hard work of his mother.

Take the initiative to listen to Aunt Liu, take the initiative to pay attention to how she buys goods, take the initiative to help her carry the boxes and baskets of vegetables she bought, and take the initiative to help her push the tricycle.With enough strength, Wei Tao said less and did more. Although a sweet-mouthed child is rare, he does not lack the social training of seeing people speak human words. He is just a gentleman in his thirties who suddenly pretends to be A sweet-mouthed boy, when the effect is the same, he would rather do more work to win the other party's favor.

At dawn, a group of three arrived at the morning market. There is a non-motorized lane specially built for bicycles on the current road, which will become a side road for the lane in ten years.

Two days ago, I learned how to ride a tricycle with my fourth uncle. In the early morning when there was no one on the road, I learned from Aunt Liu. Soon Wei Tao was able to learn how to ride a tricycle, which made Aunt Liu happy. On the way, tell my mother more about the experience and tips of doing this small business.

How to set prices, how to wipe zero, how to classify dishes, how to display better visual appeal for buyers...

When I was working in the provincial capital, I went to the door of the second-hand mobile phone trading center for a few days as a "seam". It was a fake social cattle business that stopped everyone on the street to ask if your phone was sold. Now it is placed in front of the booth Going to communicate with the people who stopped to buy vegetables, Wei Tao's performance made Aunt Liu praise Zhou Xinglian constantly: "My boy, he won't help me..."

Zhou Xinglian was always smiling and happy, feeling that her son had grown up all of a sudden, and she finally didn't have to hold on alone anymore.

Seeing that Wei Tao can quickly become familiar with it, Aunt Liu took Zhou Xinglian to pick leeks. The same few stalls sell leeks. You clean them up and arrange them neatly. Those that are stained with dirt are easier to sell. After the millennium, living conditions have improved, and more and more people visit the morning market no longer simply for shopping, but also for sports and shopping. They will only buy when they meet the eye. In the area where the so-called 'rich people' live in this city, there are more markets.

Followed Aunt Liu to buy goods for two days, helped her sell the morning market for two days, Zhou Xinglian went to the work unit to stand on the last shift, went through various procedures, was laid off from the work unit, and made a living by herself.

During the period before rebirth, just after he came out of the technical school, Wei Tao kept making appointments with his classmates to go to the Internet cafe to rent a room to surf the Internet. At that time, even if he didn’t play games or chat with penguins, he could chat for half the night. A Penguin account, plus hundreds of friends, how old are you? I chatted tirelessly at the beginning, or I played Red Alert Dune or CS online. Big Sleep, I don’t know much about the whole process of my mother’s re-employment after being laid off, so I feel at ease and ask my mother for ten yuan and 20 yuan from time to time.

Taking advantage of his mother going to the work unit to go through the final procedures in the past few days, Wei Tao took the bus from south to north, and ran to the house of the fourth aunt. A second-hand three-wheeled motorcycle. I borrowed a car from my neighbor and saw that Wei Tao could drive it proficiently. After rest assured, my fourth aunt, who has always been frugal, still didn’t recommend him to buy it: “Xiao Tao, this thing needs to be refueled, and that’s another fortune. Expenses, you and your mother buy a tricycle first, and do it first, your mother is not easy to save two money, and she is laid off again, but she can't afford it..."

"Okay, fourth aunt, let my fourth uncle take me around the second-hand junk market these two days. If there is a cheap one, I will buy it, and if it is expensive, I will not buy it. Our home is quite far from the Jiangnan vegetable wholesale market. From the wholesale market to The morning market is not close, and my mother always loves me. I am worried that if she doesn’t ask me to go to buy goods in the morning, she will have to push the heavy tricycle all the way. She can’t ride a tricycle, so she has to ask me to get up to accompany her. Besides, I have to leave home at three or four o'clock in the morning, so I don't worry about her alone. In addition, I see that the morning market sells more vegetables than fruit, but the profit is not as good as fruit. The fruit in our city The wholesale market is on the east side, I want to buy some fruits to sell, I have a three-wheeled motorcycle, I can go to the fruit wholesale market in the morning, and get some fresh fruits..."

Wei Tao needs to think of a way to make himself speak younger. With Zhou Xingju and his wife, his nephew can speak one thing and has mature ideas, so there is absolutely no reason not to support it.

The fourth uncle Xiao Jinghuai is a worker in a large heavy industrial carbon factory. He has been a senior foreman for more than 20 years and has lived in the family area of ​​the factory and mine for more than 20 years. During the off-duty time of the day, I went to several places and bought a second-hand three-wheeled motorcycle. Xiao Jinghuai paid for the motorcycle in advance, and asked a friend who repaired the car to help me tidy it up. We also welded a transparent plastic glass plate to block the wind, so that when Wei Tao rides a motorcycle, he doesn't have to worry about crying in the wind or being squinted by the sand blowing in front of him.

"Okay, the things are good. I'll get in touch in a few days and find someone to help you weld a shed. It can protect you from the rain even if it rains."

I rode a bike to my mother's factory to pick her up. After the move, my mother had to ride for an hour and a half to get to work.

Put the bicycle in the back bucket, let my mother and I sit back to back in the back bucket, put a small bench, chug chug, it’s the same thing if the oil-burning thing is fast, you don’t need to pedal so far with two legs On the road, after getting up to speed, on this hot day, the wind brought about by the speed blows, so Zhou Xinglian doesn't have to take several rests on the way home to recover her energy and sweat.

"Mom, let's take the money for the motorcycle and send it directly to the fourth aunt's house. The aunt and the fourth aunt have helped a lot. The fourth uncle offered to advance the motorcycle money. Let's keep more than 3000 yuan, just enough to buy the goods. "

Zhou Xinglian is an honest woman who doesn't have any ideas. Looking back at her mother after more than ten years of hard work, Wei Tao knows that being laid off is not only a job loss for her, but also a change in her life. Having been destroyed, it was very difficult for her to construct a new life pattern. Thanks to the help of her two sisters, she could barely support it.

The son in her eyes was still a child, but when the child took the initiative to make up his mind, she hummed and approved what her son who seemed to have grown up in the past few days said.As for the three-wheeled motorcycle, she didn't agree with it in her heart. Her son made his own decision, and she didn't say anything else. She just thought in her heart, go back and try to see if she can learn it?Otherwise, I can't eat by myself.

Whenever he thinks of seeing his mother, Wei Tao feels very uncomfortable. What old friends and old classmates, what is the passing of youth, how can there be time to reminisce about those.Now all he wants to do is to reassure his mother and make her feel that our mother and I have regained the capital to settle down.

Always stay with me.

I went to the fourth aunt's house and gave the car money. Although the fourth aunt and his wife said that you should use the money first if you are short of money, the relatives and sisters will settle accounts. When you can respect the helping hand extended by others, the other party will be happy and happy to be with you Reach out when you need it, instead of giving blindly.

In 2002, I am back.

At this time, there were not many cars on the streets, and bicycles were still the world. The three-wheeled motorcycles that do not pursue speed have a good stability factor. After a few rounds, Wei Tao has fully adapted to it.

Wei Tao at that age would think that riding a motorcycle is handsome, riding a three-wheeled motorcycle is shameful, and doing small business and doing physical work is not shameful, but Wei Tao at that age would feel very humiliated.Let him go to the street with his mother to sell vegetables, and he also resisted in his heart.

38-year-old Wei Tao lives a moderately prosperous life with a few thousand yuan. There is no shame or shame. That little bit of hypocritical vanity is far less affordable than the money in his pocket.
