The car was going very fast, and there was only enough time to say a few words.
Lu Zhixia said to Gu Lingxiao, "Look how much darker Xiao Wang has become. He must have earned a lot these past few days."
Gu Lingxiao: "You can tell he's a hardworking person."
Upon hearing this, the tricycle driver said, "Do you think I earn more money by carrying passengers on my tricycle, or by doing small business like them?"
Lu Zhixia said, "It depends on how you calculate it. For example, there are costs involved in purchasing goods, but all you need is a car and some strength."
The tricycle driver thought what he said made sense. "Comrade! You know a lot."
Lu Zhixia said, "So it depends on your choice. Although there are certain costs, as long as you sell them, you will definitely earn more than you would by pedaling a tricycle. Because it depends on whether there is any work. If no one rides, it's like you are resting."
The tricycle driver suddenly realized that when there was no work, he could only sit idly by and couldn't even afford to eat anything.
Seeing those who dare to do business by going from street to street, going directly to restaurants when they are hungry, even if they are reluctant to eat, the dry food they carry in their pockets is just white flour steamed buns, compared with them, I am really frugal.
Because he was the sole breadwinner for his family of six, he was always afraid that if he ate an extra bite, his family would eat an extra bite.
"Comrade, what kind of business do you think is easier to do now?"
Lu Zhixia said, “Winter is coming soon, so selling ice cream on the street is definitely not an option. We can consider stocking up on some food and selling it door-to-door, such as tofu, steamed buns, and biscuits. The main thing is that they can be stored for a day or two without spoiling.”
The tricycle driver benefited greatly from this advice. He told them that the tenement building was just a little further ahead, and once they arrived, they should park the vehicle steadily and then tell them...
"I won't charge you for the ride today. Consider it a friendly gesture. I'll give you a free ride next time we meet!"
"How can this be? You earn your money through hard work!" Gu Lingxiao handed over the prepared money.
The tricycle driver pushed his hand away. "I said no, no. What this woman just said to me was helpful. I'll go back and discuss it with my family to see what kind of small business I can start. There's less work for tricycles in winter, and my family will go hungry again then."
Lu Zhixia said, "Since you put it that way, then thank you for bringing us back!"
The tricycle driver got on his vehicle, waved to them, and then rode away.
Lu Zhixia and Gu Lingxiao carried their luggage back to the tenement building.
They greeted familiar faces along the way, and when they arrived on the third floor, Su Lan was already walking over with a smile.
"Someone just told me you were back, but I didn't believe it!" Su Lan reached out and took the things from Lu Zhixia's hands. "You went to buy supplies and brought back so much stuff?"
Lu Zhixia said, "I did bring in some things to see if they can sell. If they can make money, then we won't have to make snacks for the next few months; we can just sell these little things."
Su Lan was delighted to hear this, "How do you think your brain works? How can you come up with a way to make money so quickly?"
Lu Zhixia said, "It's just that I can think a little faster than you guys. By the way, are all those things ready?"
Su Lan said, "I distributed the fabric to them, and they all took it back to make their own products. We agreed on the quantities, and we should be able to collect it back in a couple of days."
As they spoke, they arrived at their doorstep. Su Lan unlocked the door with her key and immediately noticed that the things on the bed had been changed.
Lu Zhixia noticed that there were new bedding on the bed, and two more pieces of clothing on the clothes rack.
What's going on?
Su Lan said, "We all think this fabric is nice, so we made you a quilt and bedding. The weather is getting cooler, so you won't have to rush to prepare anything then."
Lu Zhixia was deeply moved; Su Lan always helped her unintentionally.
"Sister Lan, you're so good to me!"
"Silly sister, you're good to me too!"
Lu Zhixia thought about going to see the child, so Su Lan said,
"I need to change my clothes; I need to go out."
"What are you going out for?" Su Lan asked.
Lu Zhixia felt there was no need to hide it, so she told her.
"I've agreed to date Comrade Gu, and I'm going to see his adopted child later. I misunderstood him before; I thought he was already married and had children."
“I know about this,” Su Lan said with a smile.
"Ah, when did you find out?" Lu Zhixia looked at Su Lan in surprise.
Why didn't I know?
Su Lan: "Grandpa Bai knows too; we talked about it when we were chatting."
Lu Zhixia suddenly felt incredibly stupid. Everyone around her knew, but she was the only one who didn't. Of course, why didn't she just ask? She had gone through all that trouble to find out.
"So I'm going to see the children."
Su Lan hoped they would become a couple, but she also knew she had to say what needed to be said, so she took her hand.
"You'd better think it through, because after you get married you'll be a stepmother."
