Chapter 28: After Making Money

Jiang Mingyue left Wuyi Road and planned to take the old lady to eat a bowl of rice noodles before going home.

No, I’m not hungry yet. Let’s go home and eat.” Mrs. Jiang couldn’t bear to waste her granddaughter’s money.

It only takes more than half an hour to walk home. You can also have breakfast when you get home.

Jiang Mingyue understood what grandma meant.

She felt a little sad, but at the same time she also realized that when she comes out tomorrow, she must eat something first before going out.

Otherwise, you will feel hungry and uncomfortable.

Grandma, let’s go to the department store to buy flour and meat. After we buy it, we’ll go back.”

“Okay.”

Jiang Mingyue went to the department store this time and bought thirty kilograms of flour and ten kilograms of meat.

After shopping, she went home with the old lady.

When I got home and put my things away, I took out the money I got from selling the cakes today and counted it. I found that there was a difference of two cents, which was enough for fifty yuan.

Ten pounds of flour costs thirty cents a pound, five pounds of meat costs $17, plus two pounds of oil costing $18, yeast, baking powder cost thirty cents, and the briquettes cost less than one dollar.

Let’s calculate its cost of twenty yuan.

Forty-nine and eighty cents, excluding the cost of twenty yuan, they earned almost thirty yuan in two hours today!

Jiang Mingyue held the money and looked at her grandma.

Mrs. Jiang smiled and touched her hair. “Our Mingyue family is capable.”

This is the joint efforts of grandma and I.” Jiang Mingyue answered with a smile.

She divided the money she earned into two parts and gave one part to the old lady.

This made the old lady roll her eyes. “Do you think of your grandma as a miser? You collected the money for your granddaughter for a while, and then you took half of it?”

I don’t want your money, you keep it and raise my little great-grandson well.

“Milk”

Jiang Mingyue’s eyes were a little hot. Regardless of whether the old lady accepted or refused, she still took out five yuan and stuffed it into her hand.

“It’s only five yuan for a day’s help.”

You have to accept it, or I won’t call you tomorrow.” Jiang Mingyue threatened.

The old lady looked at the five yuan in her hand and couldn’t help laughing. “Okay, okay, then I will work for Boss Jiang from now on?”

“Hey!”

Jiang Mingyue smiled and put away the remaining money, then turned and went back to the room. Went to rest.

In the next half month, as long as it doesn’t rain, Jiang Mingyue and the others will set up a stall and walk from the village to the town every day before dawn.

Occasionally, I would meet some ‘drunkards’ who stayed out late at night and wandered around on the road, but there was only one person on the other side, so Jiang Mingyue was not afraid.

He took out the hatchet hidden under the backpack and held it in front of him, holding it gleaming with coldness.

No matter how horizontal the opponent was, he walked away dejectedly with his tail between his legs.

Half a month passed by in a flash.

As long as the beautiful granddaughter and the kind grandma are mentioned here on Wuyi Road, everyone will know them as the grandfather and grandson who sell pork boxes.

It’s a pity that I haven’t seen them coming here in the past few days.

Fang Xiaoli hasn’t eaten the pork box made by Jiang Mingyue for a few days, and she still misses it.

Although there were several pork boxes selling pork boxes along the May 1st Road, their food was not as delicious as Jiang Mingyue’s.

It’s said to be pork filling, but it actually contains a lot of beans and only a little bit of meat.

This makes people miss Jiang Mingyue’s pork boxes even more.

And Jiang Mingyue didn’t leave the stall for three days in a row. It wasn’t because she made a little money that she was inflated, but because she had something to do at home these days.

In addition to hauling grain to deliver to the public rations, she was also working on the tricycle at home that she bought for fifty yuan the day before yesterday.

Going to town to do business every day and just walking there with your feet is not a long-term solution. Let’s not talk about grandma, let’s talk about her. She walked with a backpack on her back for half a month without taking a break, and she felt a little tired.

Thinking that her belly would be bigger and her walking would be slower in the future, she wanted to find a means of transportation.

After asking around in the town for several days, I bought this three-wheeled bicycle from an old man who collected scraps.

When I bought it back, all three tires of the tricycle were unusable, the chain had fallen off, and the brakes didn’t work.

Jiang Mingyue pushed her to the place where the car was repaired. She spent thirty-six yuan to replace three high-quality wheels, then put the chain on and adjusted the brakes.

She rode back to the village from the town, wetted the rag with water, and carefully cleaned the tricycle.

After paying the public food in the past two days, she would ride a tricycle to the town to do business.

While she was doing business, she didn’t forget to inquire about the Dong family.

She felt relieved when she learned that the Dong family was deteriorating day by day. Duan Ping and Dong Meiyu had become street rats that everyone yelled at, and Dong Chengcai huddled at home every day, like rats in the sewer, hiding from the light.

I felt better and even ate half a bowl more of my meal.

At this moment, she had just delivered the rice to the village office. Her grandparents stayed there. She came home first, fetched water and carefully wiped the rice with a rag.

She didn’t have a car some time ago, but she was selling more and more every day. Now that she has a car, she definitely wants to make a fortune.

Jiang Mingyue was planning the next business deal when the ajar door was pushed open from the outside.

Jiang Mingyue, who was cleaning the rag, raised her head. When she first saw the unshaven man appearing at the door, she thought he was some strange passerby.

“You” opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by the man’s familiar eyes. She asked tentatively, “Gu Dongqing?”

In her understanding, although Gu Dongqing was mature, he had never been beardless.

So when she suddenly saw such a slovenly and vicissitudes of life, it was understandable that she was a little afraid to recognize him for a while.

Gu Dongqing looked at her and didn’t answer, but stepped forward.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he hadn’t had a good rest for a long, long time.

The clothes on my body seemed to have been worn for many days and I didn’t have time to change them.

“What’s wrong? What happened?”

Jiang Mingyue’s first reaction was that something happened to him.

“It’s okay.”

Gu Dongqing’s voice was hoarse, as if he hadn’t drank water for a long, long time. “I haven’t eaten all day. Is there anything to eat?”

“Uh…” Jiang Mingyue reacted. “You sit here and rest for a while. I’ll cook noodles.”

“Okay.”

Jiang Mingyue turned around and entered the kitchen, putting her front I took out the dry noodles I bought in town a few days ago, boiled them in water and put them into a pot, added lard to the pot, and added water to make soup.

When the soup boiled, I cracked two eggs into it, put a handful of green vegetables I picked and washed in the morning into it, and then poured the noodles in and cooked for about a minute.

Add salt and green onions and it’s ready to serve.

A big bowl full.

She put the noodles on the table and went out to ask Gu Dongqing to eat noodles.

As soon as she walked to the kitchen door, she saw a clean and shiny tricycle, and a man with his back to her, carefully wiping the tricycle.

For a moment, she admitted that her inner defenses had loosened.

If she was just divorced and not pregnant with an unknown child, she thought she would be brave enough to catch the person in front of her.

Didn’t you eat? How come you still have the energy to work?” Jiang Mingyue calmed down and stepped forward with a slight smile on her face. “The noodles are ready, go and eat.”

“Okay.”

Gu Dongqing put down the rag, washed his hands and went to the kitchen to eat noodles. Jiang Mingyue looked at his back and thought for a while before going to her room.

Just in time he came.

Originally, if he didn’t come, she planned to come to him in the next few days and give him the things.
