She decided to plant ten trees of each kind of wild fruit in her yard from now on. There will be wild fruits in every season, so that she and her children will not be short of fruits to eat in the future. Although she does not have children yet, she can provide food for her children.
Plan for the future!
In order to find out where the mountain grape trees and persimmon trees were located, Li Chengcheng collected all the wild fruits in the cave into his own cave. After putting down the money, he went up the mountain with a basket on his back. He would not go for a run on the mountain until the next spring.
, how to transplant fruit saplings to the mountains?
When he came down the mountain, Li Chengcheng also returned home with a basket full of wild fruits. He thought of Xia Yunlai who was renting a house in the town. He didn't know if he, who was only fourteen years old, had found a job or not.
no income.
Thinking that Bai Dashan would go to town every morning to sell wild fruits and not be able to have a good rest, Li Chengcheng suddenly thought of a good way to get the best of both worlds.
So she returned home, pulled up Bai Dashan's bicycle, carried a basket of wild fruits on her back, and set off.
When she came to the town, she went straight to the place where Xia Yunlai rented a house.
Living here is not easy to be discovered by the Xia family, but it is easy to be in danger.
Li Chengcheng hid the bicycle in the cave with the big yellow croaker, and then went to find Xia Yunlai with the basket on his back.
The door to Xia Yunlai's room was closed, and even the windows were airtight. Li Chengcheng came to the door and knocked on the door, but there was no response. Li Chengcheng thought that Xia Yunlai might have gone out to find something to do.
She had not come back yet. She was about to leave when the door behind her suddenly creaked. Li Chengcheng hurriedly looked back and saw Xia Yunlai's slender body, crumbling.
Then Xia Yunlai fell straight down.
"Xia Yunlai." Li Chengcheng stepped forward, shook Xia Yunlai, and shouted several times. When he saw no response from him, he realized that he must have fainted.
Li Chengcheng hurried out, came to the alley, and stopped a boy passing by. "Kid, how about you call a doctor for me and I'll give you ten milk candies?"
As he spoke, Li Chengcheng took out ten milk candies from his pocket and handed them over, "If you are willing to do this for me, these candies will be yours."
People who often live in this area must know where to find a doctor. The hospital must not take Xia Yunlai back and forth. If someone who knows Xia Yunlai sees him and goes back and tells his stepmother, he will definitely be taken away.
If you go back and figure it out later, it won't be that simple.
The boy snatched the candy from Li Chengcheng's hand and ran away quickly.
Li Chengcheng returned to Xia Yunlai's room, lifted Xia Yunlai up from the ground, and placed him on his bed. Then he lifted the quilt and covered him weakly, because he was still wearing clothes, and Li Chengcheng was afraid of covering him.
The cover is too tight and if he sweats, who will wipe it away?
Her?
How could she wipe the sweat of a fourteen-year-old boy?
That's too embarrassing, right?
Li Chengcheng reached out and touched Xia Yunlai's forehead. It was surprisingly hot.
After a while, a shout came from outside. Knowing that it was the boy calling the doctor, Li Chengcheng hurried out, "Doctor, here."
The doctor came over with a medical kit, and the boy stood behind the doctor, looking here curiously. Li Chengcheng waved to him, and the boy ran over with a smile on his face while eating milk candy.
Li Chengcheng asked curiously, "How old are you this year?"
"Eleven years old," the boy said.
"Thank you just now!" Li Chengcheng took out another dime and handed it to him, then turned around and went to Xia Yunlai's house. The doctor checked Xia Yunlai and said that it was a fever caused by a cold and that he would be fine after taking some medicine.
.
Xia Yunlai opened his eyes amid the smell of rice porridge. A blurry figure appeared in his blurred vision. Realizing that someone had entered his room, Xia Yunlai sat up from the bed suddenly.
Li Chengcheng squatted in front of the stove, poured the porridge cooked in the pot into a bowl, and then brought it to Xia Yunlai's window, "You said you are a big boy who came from the countryside. It's not like you can't lift your hands or shoulders.
How did you get yourself into this?"
Smelling the aroma of rice porridge, Xia Yunlai's stomach growled, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face.
Li Chengcheng put the porridge on an old small table next to him, "It's very hot now. You can eat it later. Can you tell me first what you have been doing recently?"
Thinking of his stupidity, Xia Yunlai's face turned red and white, "I was moving things for people near the train station. After only a few days of work, I was driven out by the original people. They didn't let me make money on their territory.
"
He felt that he was so stupid and couldn't make money on his own, so he could only follow Li Chengcheng and the others. But now that the weather was cold and no one ate popsicles, he couldn't sell popsicles and he didn't know what to sell.
"Would you like to help me work?" Li Chengcheng asked.
Xia Yunlai looked up at Li Chengcheng in surprise.
"One dollar a day, is it too much? If you are willing to do it, I will tell you what to do. If you are not willing, then I will have to find someone else." Li Chengcheng said.
Xia Yunlai knew that the opportunity must never come again, so he nodded hurriedly, "I will do it. No matter what you ask me to do, I will do it."
One yuan a day is thirty yuan a month, which is about the same as the wages of workers in the city. What else is there to be dissatisfied about?
Follow Li Chengcheng for a few months and wait until June to sell popsicles. If you sell popsicles for a few months, you can earn thousands. In this way, you can make a lot of money in a year.
Li Chengcheng took the basket over, opened the straw on it, and revealed the fragrant kiwi fruit inside, and said, "From now on, you can help me sell fruit to schools, residential areas behind hospitals, entrances to major factories, and dormitory areas.
Large wild fruits are sold by the piece, priced at a penny each. Like kiwis and persimmons, two are priced at a penny. Small fruits, such as wild cherries and mulberries, are sold in small bags for a penny. I can wrap the small ones.
When you sell it, just take it directly to others, no need to weigh it or count it."
"Don't be afraid. I will ask Boss Bai to come to you and take you to try selling for a few days. When you become proficient in selling, I will leave the fruit selling to you. If the weather is bad, I will give you a holiday." Li Chengcheng
said.
In this way, Xia Yunlai has something to do and money to make, and Bai Dashan can rest a little longer. It can be said that everyone is happy.
She also wanted to hug Bai Dashan and sleep until dawn, but in order to make money, Bai Dashan got up early every day, and there was nothing around her every morning.
Xia Yunlai nodded, "I understand, thank you Sister Cheng Cheng."
