Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

When I got up early the next morning, Li Jianbo said to the two elders: "My parents don’t know, Weiwei didn’t go in vain this time. She took the second place back. It’s amazing that she can achieve such results the first time she participated in the competition. Right."

Liu Chunzhi has no interest in winning awards or anything. In her opinion, it is all things that can't get any benefit after spending money. She also injured the arm of her son who can read the most. If he suffers a disability in the future, I am afraid Even a wife can't ask for it. Liu Chunzhi's attitude is very cold.

The farm work in the field came out. Li Minghua and Liu Chunzhi went down to harvest corn. Naturally, Li Wei was not happy to stay at home. He carried a basket and went down to break the corn cobs with his parents.

It took five days for the corn of several acres to be harvested. There is still more than half a month before school starts, and Li Wei still wants to take advantage of this to make some money back. So once again I rode my bike to the sorbet factory to sell sorbets, leaving early and returning late every day. There are always a few sorbets left in the evening, one for each of the family members.

"I said why do you want to sell sorbet?" Li Jianbo said to Li Wei while eating cold ice cream.

"Because I can't think of other ways to get money for the time being."

"Do you really need money?"

"Before, I wanted to earn some travel expenses and registration fees. Now, I want to save some money for emergencies." Li said with a smile.

My sister is really different, becoming strong and sensible. Li Jianbo was very pleased.

On the evening of August 20th, Li Jianping came back suddenly.

"You stinky boy still knows to come back. You don't know to come back until the corn has been harvested." Li Minghua scolded when he saw his elder son.

Li Jianping hurriedly told Rao: "Dad, Dad, calm down your anger. This month is too busy, I want to come back and can't spare time. This is not because my younger brothers and sisters are about to start school, I am eager to send some registration fees back."

Hearing that his son returned with the money, the expression on Li Minghua's face had to be softer.

Li Jianping not only brought back two hundred yuan, but also a newspaper.

"Jianbo, Weiwei, you two are good at it. You have all been in the newspaper, know?" Li Jianping took out the newspaper and showed it to everyone. The news about Li Wei is naturally award-winning news, and the news about Li Jianbo is a matter of bravery.

Liu Chunzhi heard about it and said hurriedly: "Read to us what's written in the newspaper."

Li Jianping first picked out the content of Li Wei's participation in the calligraphy and painting competition and showed it to his parents, and said triumphantly: "Seeing that we Weiwei won the second place, this is a photo of the top three."

Li Wei saw the black-and-white photo of himself in the newspaper, and he looked ugly and earthy against the background of Tang Shiyun, and not good-looking at all.

"There is also a trophy. Why doesn't Weiwei take the trophy out for us to see." Liu Chunzhi said.

Li Wei thought you were not interested, she went into the room to get the trophy.

Li Jianping watched the trophy back and forth many times: "Jianbo didn't have this thing before. It seems that Weiwei has gotten it for the first time. Our Li family has two talents at once. My eldest brother will also help you. Feel happy."

Li Minghua finally smiled: "They are all good children, no one is bad."

Then Li Jianping read Li Jianbo's deeds to the two elders again: "At 10 o'clock in the morning of August 8, a minibus from Yangshi to Wuxian..."

Li Jianping was very serious when he read the newspaper, but he always felt very funny.

Li Minghua listened quietly to the contents of the newspaper, while smoking a cigarette, he let out a long smoke ring, feeling extremely comfortable. It's happier than drinking a good bottle of wine.

After dinner, they went back to their rooms. Li Jianping took a shower and saw his father still sitting on the threshold smoking a cigarette. He couldn't help but approached him and persuaded him: "Dad, you don't smoke. Your health is not good."

"Hey, I'm happy today. Leave me alone." Li Minghua lowered his head to see a lot of cigarette butts thrown on the ground.

Li Jianping wiped his hair with a towel, and discussed with his father: "Dad, there is a business opportunity right now. How about we try it?"

Li Minghua put out the cigarette **** and asked hurriedly, "What business opportunity? Are you really planning to do business by yourself?"

Li Jianping said: "There is a shop, and the port is okay. The family who did it earlier has to change hands. I asked the landlord that the rent and deposit will cost two thousand yuan a year?"

"Two thousand?" Li Minghua was startled and hurriedly said: "Where can our family get so much money now."

"You can find someone to borrow it. If you can't, you can still find a bank loan. If your family always farms, how many can you make a year? Jianbo will be admitted to college in two years. I heard that the university is now paying for the tuition, which is another sum It’s not a small expense. How about a small amount of money? Don’t you want to train it well? You can’t favor one and the other, let’s talk about Jianbo..." Li Jianping paused, before turning around, he said, "Our money asks the uncle, he It should be able to help us some. If we ask him to buy shares, the two partnership shop will be opened."

Li Minghua always felt that it was not that easy, and said: "What do we sell in order? Where do you buy from? Have you thought about it?"

Li Jianping smiled and said, "Don’t you have a craftsmanship? Let’s open a breakfast shop and try it out. Although I’m tired, the money comes quickly. People in the city are busy going to work and school, and people who don’t have time to cook their own meals and come out for breakfast. A lot. Bai An’s mother can do it too. We helped to lay hands and got up slowly. Besides, this shop was a small restaurant before, but it didn’t get angry if it was poorly managed. Tables, benches, tableware, etc. , You can turn around with a little money, and you can do it right away when you take over."

"We are all gone, what will your sister do? She will continue to study."

"Let her stay with the uncle's house for the time being, but after half a year, let her sister go to the city to study after the new year. Anyway, she will have to study in the city when she goes to high school, how?" Li Jianping had already considered it very much before returning. Well done.

Li Minghua thought about it carefully and said: "You can discuss with your mother again and see what she means."

Li Jianping smiled and said, "Naturally I have to talk to mom."

On the second day, Li Jianping told Liu Chunzhi of this idea, and Jianbo brothers and sisters also heard about it. This road also said that Jianbo pointed to Jianping at the beginning, and of course he had no opinion. Liu Chunzhi had this idea a year ago. After listening to his son’s suggestion, he nodded and said, “I think it’s OK. Go out while you’re young. You can’t plant a land for a lifetime. You have to rely on yourself to stand up. It’s not like we did when we were young. , It’s a speculation to do some business."

When the matter was settled, the first thing was to raise money. Liu Chunzhi wanted to take advantage of Li Wei's award to invite her natal brothers. Then everyone got together to discuss raising money to open a shop.

At the same time, a small car stopped in front of a breakfast shop in a certain city. The driver asked a middle-aged woman in the back seat for a few words, then opened the door and went down to buy breakfast for the woman. Seeing a newsstand not far away, the woman asked the driver to buy a newspaper by the way.

The woman was reading the newspaper while having breakfast. Her eyes were attracted by a piece of news on the social page. She stared at the photo of the brave teenager for a long time, and her eyes never moved.
