Chapter 145 The Plan Has Changed
When Yao Shula heard Lei Jingwu say that Xiao Tiantian would finish elementary school in Yun County, she was startled.
“Secretary Lei… wasn’t he only supposed to serve in Yun County for three years? Everyone says that after three years, Secretary Lei should at least be transferred to the city.” Yao Shula was a little confused as to why there was such a big change.
"That might have been the plan before, but now... I heard from Grandpa that it seems that after my third uncle finishes his term in Yun County, he will be transferred to a neighboring county."
"Grandpa said it would be better to get to know people's lives better by staying at the grassroots level," Lei Jingwu said.
Yao Shula...
It seems that the old man of the Lei family is very angry!
In one's career, falling behind even one step means falling behind others at every step.
In a way, has Secretary Lei been abandoned by the Lei family?
Lei Jingwu once said that many members of the Lei family are involved in politics, and Old Master Lei doesn't only have one son. Such families tend to concentrate their resources on one person...
Secretary Lei... I'm a little worried about what lies ahead!
"You've been studying here with me all this time? And like now? Going back once a week?" Yao Shula looked at Lei Jingwu.
Lei Jingwu nodded, then took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Yao Shula.
"Here's your money for next month!"
Tian Tian's grandfather said that he was very grateful to you for raising Tian Tian so well, and that he would give you an extra 30 yuan on top of the 70 yuan you give him each month.
One hundred yuan a month.
However, even after he goes to school every day, you still need to check his homework. Good study habits are cultivated from a young age.
"Your family produced a top scorer in the high school entrance exam! Grandpa Tian is very relieved!"
Yao Shula...
They added another thirty yuan? It's only been four months, and it's gone from fifty yuan to one hundred yuan.
In addition to what I get from the machine factory every month, the money I earn from the recreational ball stall at the entrance, and the rent from the small shop next door...
Now I easily make over two hundred yuan a month!
That means Yao Shula is now earning more money than the county magistrate...
This doesn't even include the money invested in Lei Jingwu's company.
That's right. Although I haven't left Lianyun County since I arrived here, judging from the current situation, I have not only led my whole family out of poverty, but also entered a well-off life ahead of schedule.
Yao Shula has already taken the lead in completing the battle against poverty.
"Lei Jingwu, look at you, you're being far too polite!"
I love taking care of Tiantian; the little guy is so adorable and cute! We don't need so much; seventy a month is fine as it was before.” Yao Shula declined a little.
Lei Jingwu quickly waved his hand.
"A hundred yuan is justified. Tian Tian is still growing and sometimes has a rather picky palate."
You should cook him more delicious food. He likes to eat meat, and if he eats meat at every meal, it will cost a lot.
Plus, you have to buy him snacks all the time, so the expenses are actually quite high.
"But if you have any big expenses, just let me know. I'll leave you my Shanghai phone number later. If you need anything, just call me from the post office."
Yao Shula thought about it and realized that Lei Jingwu meant there would be meat on every meal at home from now on...
Okay! With my current income, it's not like I can't afford it!
After exchanging a few more words with Lei Jingwu, who then instructed Xiaotian to be obedient before leaving, Lei Jingwu did so.
Yao Shula stood in the courtyard, thinking about her future plans...
Well, the main task is still to make sure these little ones study hard and improve every day.
Yao Shuxin doesn't need to worry about it herself, but as for Xiao Tiantian... it's a bit too early to worry about her.
Yao Shuli is a bit of a headache...
"Shuli, your cousin is coming to check your homework tomorrow, so you'd better be careful."
"If you don't study hard, you can forget about selling your popsicles!" Yao Shula suddenly yelled at Yao Shuli, who was about to rest.
Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian were just about to discuss further ways to expand their popsicle business...
...
The next day, Lei Jingwu brought all the goods that had been left in the car at the guesthouse.
They also brought Yao Shula a tabletop Chang'e brand electric fan.
Yao Shula was very happy. It was good; besides the flashlight and a creaky old electric fan, the house now had another household appliance.
Similarly, everyone was allowed to see all the goods that were delivered.
Liu Hao, who used to play ball here, brought several people over to inspect the goods. After hearing Lei Jingwu and Gu Changqin's price quote, he didn't even haggle and just ordered four boxes of goods.
After deducting the goods ordered by Liu Hao, Yao Shula and her team still had nearly a thousand yuan worth of goods left.
Yao Shula glanced at the prices set by Lei Jingwu and Gu Changqin...
Well, selling the remaining stock for another three thousand yuan shouldn't be a problem.
...
Soon, news spread that Yao Shula had received new stock, and people who had previously bought things from her were preparing to come back and check it out again.
Maybe I'll be able to buy something I like!
Yao Shula knew that the place would be bustling again on the day of the sale.
The night before the sale, Liu Hao arrived with a few people and a handbag.
The bag contained 12,000 yuan that Liu Hao and his friends had raised.
Yao Shula was a little surprised. This Liu Hao was quite something; he was able to raise so much money in such a short time.
With cash on delivery, Liu Hao quickly transported away the four large boxes of goods.
Meanwhile, Liu Hao deserved to say that he wouldn't be in Yun County for at least the next ten days; he would be either in the city or in another county.
...
Yao Shula and her team were still thinking about selling goods, just like before.
However, before selling the goods, Yao Shuli made a small request to Xiaotian.
"Big sister, could you please start selling your goods a little later, around noon?" Yao Shuli suggested in a low voice.
“Yes! Sell slowly, that way you’re less likely to make mistakes!” Xiao Tiantian chimed in.
Yao Shula glanced at the two brothers.
"Tell me the truth! Don't try to play tricks on me!"
Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian chuckled and finally voiced their true thoughts.
"I just... want to sell more popsicles!"
"Want to sell more popsicles? Is it that simple?" Yao Shula asked with a smile.
Yao Shuli nodded quickly.
"Yeah! It's that simple!"
Sister, think about it, it's going to be really hot tomorrow, right? Those people waiting outside to buy things will have to queue up!
With more people and hot weather, will we be able to sell more popsicles?
So, ladies, please be a little slower when you're selling things tomorrow.
"That way, everyone will have to wait a little longer. And if they wait a little longer, won't it get even hotter? Won't that make our popsicles sell even better?" Yao Shuli explained quietly.
Yao Shula...
Before Yao Shula could finish expressing her surprise, Xiao Tiantian added two more sentences.
"Yes, there are so many people here. If just one person buys, many others will follow suit."
"Big sister, we're good kids, we won't raise the price now, it'll still be one cent a stick."
Yao Shula looked at the two children with even greater surprise.
"No wonder you were so enthusiastic when you were selling things last time, but you haven't said a word this time."
"So they were thinking about how to sell popsicles!" Yao Shula was a little amazed by the two little ones' clever minds.
Yao Shuli chuckled.
"Selling popsicles is our own business!"
Yao Shula...
