Chapter 144 Don’t You Understand the Seriousness of This?
Ma Weiwei looked up at Chen Qinian, her eyes full of love.
Chen Qinian blushed when he was looked at, and quickly turned around and left, lest this woman do anything to embarrass him.
The kitchen matter has come to an end.
After dinner, Gu Xiaoxi went to check on Uncle Yuan and found that he had a high fever. She could only close the door again and give Uncle Yuan some medicine to reduce his fever.
They worked until late at night before Uncle Yuan's illness was cured. Gu Cheng and Gu Xiaoxi were exhausted.
Gu Nanming got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet and heard the noise here, so he came over to check. Seeing that both of them looked exhausted, he sent them to rest.
Gu Xiaoxi couldn't walk, and finally took a nap in the rocking chair, while Gu Cheng was sent back to rest.
When it was almost dawn, Gu Yuan woke up in a daze. Seeing that it was not his son who was guarding him, he knew that he must have been sick last night and his son and Xiaoxi had been busy most of the night.
"Uncle, you're awake. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Are you hungry?" Gu Nanming asked carefully.
"We have nothing. Thank you siblings for your hard work." Gu Yuan thought to himself that he would thank them properly when he recovered and could earn money.
"What are you talking about? We are all family, and you have given us so much money. It is my duty to take care of you." Gu Nanming felt embarrassed by what Uncle Yuan said.
Gu Yuan smiled slightly and talked for a while. Then he started to feel sleepy again and fell asleep in a daze.
Not long after dawn, Gu Cheng came over and took Gu Nanming back to rest.
Gu Nanming went back to take a nap, got up to eat something and continued to study the dried tofu, while Gu Xiaoxi was tinkering with the wheelchair. In the afternoon, he went to the town to pick up the customized ironware.
Three days later, Gu Xiaoxi made the first wheelchair with the help of her uncle and Afeng.
Gu Nanming and the others also decided on the taste of the dried tofu.
The next morning, Chen San drove a horse-drawn carriage to take Gu Dongming and the others to the city to set up a stall. Gu Xiaoxi asked Gu Cheng to help carry Uncle Sixteen to the wheelchair.
The thresholds were removed and the steps in the corridor were made into slopes so that the wheels could roll down at any time.
Gu Xiaoxi had the workers fill half of the ground in the yard, and Uncle Sixteen was walking back and forth here.
After being cooped up in the room for so long, Chen Shiliu finally got to bask in the sun as he wished. His mood was even brighter than today's sunshine.
"Xiaoxi, you are so amazing. You can actually make this thing. It will bring convenience to so many elderly people and people with disabilities!" Chen Shiliu sat on it and tried it, and found it was really convenient.
After Uncle Sixteen said this, Gu Xiaoxi thought of another way to make money. She looked up at her uncle and said, "Uncle, you don't have to go out to work anymore. Just make this wheelchair at home and sell it at the stall after you're done. There are so many students there.
Students are curious about everything and talk a lot, so word will spread quickly, and business will be good."
"Xiaoxi, this is a good idea. If it's not possible to put it in front of the academy, we can put it in my second brother's shop. I can just talk to my second brother about this." Chen Shiliu also agreed with Xiaoxi's idea. Otherwise, it would be too slow for Lao An to make money relying on those odd jobs.
After hearing this, Gu An smiled and said, "Xiaoxi, this is something you made, how can I get the benefits for nothing?"
"If my uncle feels uneasy, then give me 10% profit. It's the profit, not the total price." Gu Xiaoxi knew that his uncle was not a person who would take advantage of others, so he casually made a condition.
"No, one percent is too little." Gu An shook his head.
"Then it's 20%, no more." Gu Xiaoxi insisted.
Seeing that his younger brother was about to refuse again, Gu He said, "I'm the one making the decision on this matter. Listen to Xiaoxi!"
Gu An opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.
hehe……
Chen Shiliu looked at the honest Old An and said with a smile, "He's just like that. He's afraid that his niece will suffer."
"I'm not at a disadvantage. I just came up with an idea and I can get 20% of the money. My uncle is not that stupid. If it were another profiteer, he would be lucky to give me 10%." Gu Xiaoxi felt that his uncle was too real and honest.
"Your uncle has been like this since he was a child. He would rather suffer losses himself than let those around him suffer losses." Gu He also agreed with Chen Shiliu's words. His younger brother was well-known for his good character in the surrounding area.
If my family hadn't been poor and I hadn't run away from home for him, I would have passed the imperial examination and gotten a good degree long ago.
Years of guilt were like a brand etched on my heart, and I could never wash it away in this lifetime.
Gu Xiaoxi saw the guilt and happiness in her father's eyes, and felt quite satisfied.
In the room, Uncle Yuan was also very curious about what the wheelchair was, but he couldn't move it yet, so he lay on the bed and shouted.
"Ah Cheng, come here! Tell me what that wheelchair is?"
Gu Cheng was standing at the door watching his Sixteenth Uncle trying out the wheelchair. He was fascinated by it. When he heard his father's voice, he hurried into the house.
When Gu Xiaoxi heard Uncle Yuan's voice, she simply pushed Uncle Sixteen into his house to take a look.
"Uncle Yuan, this is a wheelchair, but you can't sit on it for now. You have to wait ten days or half a month to remove the fixing sticks before you can sit on it." She told Uncle Yuan what he wanted to know.
After hearing this, Gu Yuan smiled and said, "Xiaoxi is really smart. She can actually come up with something like this. This is really good news for many people who can't walk!"
"That's right. We have already thought about it. Let Lao An take this thing to the city to sell. It will definitely fetch a good price." Chen Shiliu praised again.
"This method is good. It can be used by rich people with elderly people at home and patients like me who cannot walk." Gu Yuan thought it was a good idea.
He looked at the creek, which had changed a lot, and felt that An Ge was not far from a truly good life. This girl was smart, so he should let his two sons follow them more frequently in the future.
Gu Xiaoxi felt that with such an idea, it could be implemented as soon as possible.
Leaving them talking, she started working on a second wheelchair in the yard.
With the experience of the first time, the second time will be much faster.
After midnight, she made the second wheelchair.
Tomorrow her elder brother and his family will go to the city to do business. It is not too cold now and they can handle it. Plus, there is a horse carriage to take them there. So her elder brother and his family plan to go there every day, so she did not stop them.
She'll take this one and try it out first, but this chair can't be sold, it can only be custom-made. As for the price, she'll have to ask Uncle Sixteen.
The next day, Gu Xiaoxi got up before dawn.
There was no rush now, so she got up early in the morning and started practicing with everyone.
Ma Weiwei and Min'er also joined in. She originally thought that Ma Weiwei would teach her more, but she didn't expect Ma Weiwei to send her flying with just one palm.
Bang!
Ma Weiwei couldn't control her strength, and Gu Xiaoxi's body flew out and hit the wall. Fortunately, their wall was reinforced, otherwise it would probably collapse.
Ma Weiwei found herself in trouble again and was so scared that she almost fell to her knees.
"Ma Weiwei, don't you know the seriousness of this?" Chen Qinian was so angry that he scolded Ma Weiwei.
