i was my mistake

"Why? Don't you continue to sleep for a while?"

"The more you sleep, the colder you get..." Ye Chen shuddered and shivered, "It's better to get up and move around, maybe it will make you warmer."

"Oh, do you want breakfast?"

"Ah."

"The porridge is kept warm in the rice cooker, and the dishes are on the table, so they should still be warm."

"it is good."

"Do you want me to feed you?"

"Then don't need it..." Ye Chen twitched the corners of his mouth, "It's not that far yet..."

"Remember to wash with hot water, never with cold water."

"You don't need to tell me that I won't use cold water, I won't freeze to death." Ye Chen grumbled and walked out of the bedroom, seeing his father sitting on the sofa reading a book while stuffing sesame candies into his mouth.

Xiao Bai curled up at his feet, looking so lazy that he didn't want to move at all.

Ye Chen glanced at the title of the book, and asked, "Is Dad going to take a driver's license test?"

"Haha, let's see if it's difficult first, and then consider whether to sign up." My father turned the page again, "You can't be a street vendor all your life, right? You have to learn something, or you will be left behind by the times."

"Do you drive a truck to deliver? It's quite tiring."

"The main thing is to make money. A friend of mine has already become a truck driver. The car is paid for by the company, and all expenses are reimbursed by the company. The monthly salary is more than 1 yuan."

"Ten thousand!?" Ye Chen opened his eyes wide in shock, "Is it too much?"

"Haha, but the route he ran was also far away. It was a super long journey from the south to the north. Basically, he went there once and back again. It took half a month."

There are not so many highways in this era, and the roads in most places are not very good. The speed of large trucks cannot be too fast, and people need to rest. Generally, they can only drive for eight hours at most.

Driving to work is not an ordinary job. Eight hours is already exhausting. No matter how long the time is, traffic accidents are easy to occur.

"It's really far enough, but it's a lot of money."

"Haha, yeah, I thought, I'm still strong and fit, and I'm the most suitable age for working. It's okay to be tired. The main thing is to earn more, so that I can save more money."

"Is it expensive to get a driver's license?"

"All the expenses add up to about 7000 yuan."

"It's also quite expensive."

"Yeah, so while studying, I still continue to set up stalls. Money is never enough."

"How about earning enough before signing up?"

"It depends on the situation." The father raised his eyelids and looked at her, "If the family can make ends meet, they should pay the money to sign up first, and the living expenses will be taken from the money earned from the stall——Chen'er, the clothes are worn backwards .”

"Huh?" Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look, only to find that the front and back of his sweater were wrong, it was because her throat felt uncomfortable when she put it on.

With a dry cough, she quickly took off the sweater and put it on again, wearing the pattern of the little tabby cat on the front.

"Here, I made rock sugar pear soup for you, drink it quickly."

"Well, Dad boiled it?"

"I survived!"

"Hey? Are you so kind?"

"Slap!" Wan Qing's slap on the forehead responded to her, "Look down on people, do you think I can't take care of people?"

"Cough...it's actually okay, I don't need to take care of it...it feels weird."

"It's weird that you deserve such a beating."

Ye Chen smirked, picked up the enamel cup, put it to his mouth and blew, feeling his whole body became warmer.

Wan Qing conveniently put another coat on her: "You should also dress warmly at home, at least you should know how to take care of yourself, right?"

"Yes Yes Yes--"

"Are your hands cold?"

"fine?"

"Here, put on your gloves." Wan Qing threw a pair of gloves over, with her body temperature still lingering on them.

"No need, it won't be smooth to write while wearing it."

"Put it on, do you understand that you should keep warm if you have a cold and a fever?"

"What about you?"

"I'll wear yours." Wan Qing put on Ye Chen's half-fingered gloves. Although it was more convenient to do things, it was obviously not as warm as fully wrapped gloves.

"Phew, it would be great if I were at Jinyu's house. I just turn on the air conditioner and don't need to wear so many clothes."

"When you have money in the future, install three air conditioners in your room, and you can turn them on as you like."

"That would be too wasteful..." Ye Chen muttered, took a sip of the pear soup, and focused on his homework again.

The grades of the two seem to have reached a bottleneck period again, and it is difficult to continue to improve. The repeated homework every day does not seem to have changed much.

After all, life is not a game, even if it is only 0.001% progress, it will be displayed at the bottom.

But you still have to persevere until the college entrance examination comes.

Even a slight slack may make the original knowledge blurred again.

The two of them are indeed not people who like to study, so the purpose is also very clear, which is for the college entrance examination.

In fact, many people are like this.

They worked so hard just to compete for a future opportunity.

I'm afraid there are not many people who go to college simply because they like to study.

"Wan Qing, do you think we will study so hard after we go to university?"

"What a fart, I basically slacked off after going to college."

"Ah, it always feels absurd."

"Reality is so absurd."

"But no matter what, you have to pass every course, otherwise it will be embarrassing if you don't even get your graduation certificate."

"That's not difficult."

"How do you know? You never went to college."

"I see other people's university is quite easy."

"Then you must not have seen their pain when they failed the exam and had to make up the exam..."

In the afternoon, the sun came out for a short while.

Father went out for a trip and bought several boxes of things back.

It looked like ham sausage and dried tofu.

"Let's eat teppanyaki this afternoon! Have a glass of warm rice wine and eat while roasting!"

"Then there's no need to buy so much, right?" Wan Qing stood in front of those boxes, a little dazed, "Can you finish eating?"

"Haha, this is what I plan to set up a stall to sell at that time."

"what happened?"

"Change the business!" The father pointed to the cheap things that these children like to eat, "I plan to sell them at the entrance of the junior high school. It is relatively concentrated, although it will be very busy when the business comes, but the time of business is very fixed, which can save a lot of time.”

"Oh—so you don't have to stay up all night?"

"Yes."

"What do you do with the rest of your time?"

"Study." My father blinked mischievously, "Just like you, I also want to study. I will learn as I grow old."

"The one who should go to the college entrance examination should be you, not us..." Wan Qing murmured with her eyelids drooping.

The window was pushed open by his father, and a charcoal-burning iron plate was placed on the table by the window. He had already strung the ham sausages on bamboo sticks, bloomed them with exquisite knife skills, and put them on the table. On the iron tray beside it.

In addition, there are tenderloin and cauliflower that have been processed.

As for the dried tofu, it is stewed and put in the big aluminum pot. When you want to eat, you just pick up a piece and put it on a skewer.

Wan Qing put two pieces of dried tofu in an enamel cup, sprinkled some dried shrimps and chopped green onion into it, added some salt, then poured some boiling water to make soup, and brought it to Ye Chen.

The taste of brine is a bit strong, so it is better for sick people to eat something lighter.

"Wow, it's so hot." Ye Chen took a deep breath while holding the enamel cup, "It smells so good. I suddenly found that it's good to be sick, and I've been taken care of all the time."

"Are you a primary school student?" Wan Qing rolled her eyes, "It's only an ignorant kid who would say such things."

"I'm just feeling a little bit... This kind of clothes can be stretched out, and the food can be opened. You don't have to do any work, and it feels good that everyone is still around you." Ye Chen picked up the dried tofu and took a bite, sucking it up The dried tofu in the soup immediately 'exploded' in her mouth.

There is an illusion of eating soup dumplings.

"Here is my sauce, you don't need to try the chili sauce, you can try this sweet noodle sauce, and how does this jam taste?"

"And jam?"

"It's made with hawthorn and apple. It tastes sour to me." My father said with a smile, "I don't know what you think of the taste."

"Okay—then I'll try—"

"Hmm...it's really sour, it doesn't go well with dried tofu."

"I think... um, it's quite delicious? It's sweet and sour." Ye Chen tasted a small amount, then scooped a large spoonful on the dried tofu, "The taste is quite rich...but it should be Is it more suitable to eat when the weather is warm?"

"Haha, then don't make this kind of sauce for now. After all, it is more expensive to make. What about sweet noodle sauce?"

"It seems to be a little lighter?"

"I think it should be saltier." Wan Qing smacked her lips, "It's not salty enough."

"Why does the sweet noodle sauce have to be salty?" Ye Chen retorted.

"Salty taste can set off the sweet taste, and it's not delicious without salty taste."

The two of you commented on the snacks my father fried on an iron plate. Of course, some thought it was delicious, some thought it was average, and some thought it was not delicious.

"I think, Dad, it's better to have all vegetarian dishes, the meat is slow to cook, and it's expensive."

"That makes sense." Father nodded.

"There should be a napkin wrapped under the bamboo stick, otherwise there will always be oil all over the hand, which is very troublesome." Wan Qing looked at her father, "I think other people wrap the bamboo stick with a napkin."

"Okay, I'll see if there are any cheap napkins and order them wholesale."

"Oh, by the way, I feel that the speed of doing it is not fast. Can it be sold? The business is only available in such a short period of time, and the students won't wait too long. It is originally a small profit but quick turnover. If you don't sell enough..."

"I'll have to wait until I'm proficient. Haha, maybe the temperature of the stove is not high enough. I'll use a gas stove to cook."

"Yes, that's much faster than charcoal."

"and also……"

For a family, the most heartwarming thing is to discuss everything in a friendly manner.

Looking at Ye Chen who was eagerly conveying her thoughts, Wan Qing couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth slightly.

Who said that life can only make people see more and more despair?
