Chapter 305
"Although the speed of saving money is very slow, even if it is a money game, you can't force a five-year-old to become a millionaire overnight."
The system finished speaking slowly, and said seriously to the child who seemed to be deep in thought but was actually daydreaming: "But Mianmian must be wary of all strangers she meets."
"Why?" Yun Mian came back to his senses in a daze, and the strange questions in his head disappeared in an instant.
System: "Because they are likely to use various methods to make you make various choices without being able to defend yourself. They may even send people to steal all the cash on you. Some people may have already targeted you and will induce you to sell your organs or something else."
In short, you must be wary of everyone you meet, because among them there may be players of the money game, or people who have been bribed by the players to approach her.
The system wanted to avoid the way the child died in the previous round, so it emphasized to Yunmian, who was listening obediently: "Mianmian must remember every rule of the money game and the order of choices you made at that time: family - self-esteem - future - friendship - money. This order must run through every choice in your life every day in the future. Don't reverse it. Reversing it will be erased."
Hearing Uncle System's serious words, Yun Mian nodded solemnly: "I understand, Uncle. I will remember it well!"
After telling him the most important thing, the system finally asked the original question: "Why did Mianmian arrange it like this?"
It understands that family ties come first, but it doesn't understand why self-esteem comes before the future? Why money comes last?
This is completely different from the kids who love money very much in many worlds.
Listening to the system uncle's doubts, Yunmian lay on the big, soft and clean stuffed bear and answered without hesitation: "Because my mother said that children should know how to respect themselves. I will listen to my mother, even in the future, I will always listen to her!"
So in the simple and straightforward way of thinking of children, the self-esteem that their mother talked about should be put before the future.
As for money…
Little Yun Mianmian buried most of her face in the belly of the stuffed bear and said sullenly, "I only make friends with people I like. Every friend is more important than a lot of money, uncle. Human life is much more important than money."
Yunmian, who grew up in various hospitals since she could remember in her previous life, may be more aware than any other child how precious and irreplaceable life is compared to money.
Life is unique. A life can have and lose a lot of money, but a lot of money cannot buy back a life.
The system didn't expect that the little idiot who was always confused even when counting money could be completely firm and independently follow every principle in his heart when it came to the original sorting.
Therefore, it is very clear that Mianmian will never regret her original choice for a long time in the future, and is unlikely to make a choice that goes against her heart because of many temptations.
After all, it is the host child who has watched him grow up in these small worlds, so the system still has some confidence in him.
"Then let's get rid of these obstacles and start making money happily!"
What are the three elements of setting up a stall?
Type, source, stall.
Yun Mujin stopped washing clothes for her parents and turned her head to ask the child squatting on the side to help pour water: "Mianmian wants to set up a stall? Have you thought about what to sell?"
She didn't ask if there was not enough money. Compared to picking up trash, setting up a stall is much easier than picking up trash. Since the little guy is eager to try it, then let's give it a try.
Otherwise, because of her own reasons, she would be forced to stay in this small home every day, unable to even go out to play or meet new friends. As time went on, Yun Mujin was worried that her daughter's personality would be changed by the environment, and she would definitely regret it.
Yunmian dangled her fingers in the water in the basin, and when she heard her mother's question, she said softly, "I want to sell things that children like~"
Uncle System said that what to sell depends on where she wants to set up the stall.
Yunmian wanted to set up a stall in front of the kindergarten, so she wanted to sell things that children would like.
"Selling toys, selling balloons, selling candies, selling snacks..." Yun Mian lowered her hand to count the delicate fingers dangling in the water, and listed the things she liked the most and wanted to own one by one.
Yun Mujin laughed when he heard this, but finally nodded in agreement and said, "I think Mianmian's idea is great, but you are still a child, and children can't choose to have everything, so among the things Mianmian wants to sell, it's best to only choose one to sell."
Her mother’s words plunged the greedy little Yun Mianmian into a new round of struggle.
So what to sell?
"When Mianmian passed by the street in front of the kindergarten, what was being sold on the street?" Yun Mujin asked while listening to the sound of water not far away.
Even though she couldn't see, she followed the movement and accurately fished out the children's hands that were playing in the water.
Yunmian obediently held her hand and helped her wipe her red, frozen hands on her mother's clothes. Her mother then held her hands and put them to her mouth, breathing on them and rubbing them together. After warming her cold hands, she moved a small stool and sat next to her mother, putting her hands in her mother's warm pockets and not taking them out.
As a mother, Yun Mujin is always more careful and gentle when it comes to taking care of each other with her daughter.
She never scolded or lectured her daughter for her little actions; she always acted spontaneously and always did more than she said.
Yunmian lay on her mother's lap, her little hands holding her from her mother's pockets, puffing up her little face as she recalled what she had seen.
"We sell balloons that fly up to the sky with strings."
"There are so many things to eat, including delicious fried chicken and sweet marshmallows~"
"There are lots of shops and restaurants. The entrances to the shops are filled with candies, princess stickers, and toys."
"besides……"
After talking to her mother bit by bit, Yunmian's originally confused thoughts seemed to be straightened out without her realizing it.
It seems like everything I want to sell is available on the street.
So what else could she sell that would have all the kids rushing to buy it?
Yunmian buried herself in her mother's arms, smelling the scent of laundry detergent on her mother's body. Because of thinking, she fell into a new round of stagnation.
"Just sell the toys." My mother's gentle voice sounded above my head.
Yunmian looked up in confusion.
As if she knew what she wanted to ask, her mother spoke again and patiently explained to her, "There are many kinds of toys. The store cannot sell all kinds of toys in the world. Moreover, toys can be stored longer than snacks and other things. If Mianmian can't sell anything on the first day of setting up the stall, she can wait until the second day. If she can't sell anything on the second day, she will be able to sell it someday. The sunk cost of selling toys is very low because toys don't have a short shelf life like food."
Yunmian didn’t quite understand the words her mother used, but that didn’t stop her from understanding her mother’s explanation.
Most importantly, this is mom’s advice! This is mom’s idea! Mom is never wrong!!
Without much thought, Yunmian and the system uncle immediately decided: set up a stall and sell toys in front of the kindergarten!
She did it as soon as she thought of it. That night, when her grandparents came back, Yunmian pinched the corner of her grandmother's clothes. The family sat around the small dining table and used the very old smartphone to look through the types of toys that were selling well on the shopping website.
At first, the grandparents were a little worried about Yunmian's idea of setting up a stall to sell toys in front of the kindergarten, but they did not firmly stop her. Even after Yun Mujin started to persuade her, they all changed their minds and agreed. In the face of the wishes of their daughter and granddaughter, the two old people's principles would always compromise.
At the small dining table, under the dim light, grandpa and grandma took out their reading glasses and put them on their noses. They were looking down at various toys on the shopping app, and describing the toys to their daughter who couldn't see, and then let the mother and daughter decide whether to buy this type of toy to sell.
Yunmian wants everything she sees.
Yun Mujin couldn't see anything.
But the mother and daughter's ideas are surprisingly harmonious.
One chose to listen to his mother without thinking, while the other said that his daughter's ideas should be taken into consideration. There was no contradiction at all throughout the whole process.
After choosing all the toys she wanted to buy, Yunmian took out her small wallet from under her pillow, poured out the bulging 300 yuan inside and piled it on the table, and asked eagerly, "Grandma, is this money enough to buy a lot of toys?"
The two old people probably didn't expect that the little girl could come up with so much money at once. Originally, Chen Fanghua had decided to give this "start-up capital" to his granddaughter himself.
After instantly understanding the source of the money, Chen Fanghua pushed up his reading glasses that were sliding down his nose, touched his granddaughter's cheek, and smiled as he asked her to put the money back.
"Grandma will pay for this. You can keep Mianmian's money safe. I'll get you a card later and we can deposit the larger sums into the card..."
Before she could finish her words, Yun Mian interrupted her by shaking her head.
The child pushed all the money on the table in front of her with a determined look on his face, and said in a crisp voice with curved eyes: "Grandma, you need this money. There is my money, my mother's money, and the money given by grandma and grandpa. It has all the money of our family~"
Mom said this is called "investment" and "cooperation."
"Grandma, mom said that she pays the most money, and I do the most work, so grandpa and grandma will assign one person to accompany me to set up the stall every day, and help me pack it up at night and go home together."
Just like the money, this is also "cooperation".
"I will work hard to sell toys, so that children will buy my toys and make a lot of money so that grandparents don't have to work so hard!" The child straightened his back and made a serious promise under the light: "When we have money, grandparents will no longer have to search every trash can."
She didn't understand what her mother meant by self-respect and self-love, so she didn't understand the negative pressure she felt every day when she faced the strange looks and even rejection from people passing by while picking up trash.
But she has experienced it herself and knows that trash cans smell very bad and it is very hard work to rummage through so many trash cans every day.
And my grandma said the other day that trash cans smell the worst in the summer and are the most difficult to rummage through.
So Yunmian hopes that she can earn a lot of money before summer comes, so that when summer comes, her grandma and grandpa won’t have to rummage through the smelly trash cans to pick up bottles and cardboard.
