The Lin family has four children with four different personalities. The younger ones are the more tricks they have.
When Lin Shuying and Lin Shuchao were taking the college entrance exam, they both refused to have their parents wait, believing that it would be sufficient for them to wait until after the last exam to pick them up. Lin Shuchao simply didn't take the exam.
Only Lin Shumei went home to act like a spoiled brat while other students were studying, and asked everyone to accompany her to take the exam.
Liang Shengdi: "...You want to take the exam for three days, and we have to squat in front of your school for three days? That's not making any money?"
Lin Shumei squatted beside her breasts, chewing watermelon and vaguely drawing cakes.
"Then calculate how much money you've lost in the past three days. Keep a record of it. When I make money again, I'll pay you back as soon as I can."
"Besides, other people have their parents accompany them to the college entrance examination! What's that called..." She waved her hands and chattered, "You escort them outside, and I will sprint with peace of mind inside!"
"...What's going on? There's going to be another war, and someone needs to protect the school from the Japanese?"
Liang Shengdi still couldn't understand the poetic idea in Lin Shumei's mind. She felt that this girl was being bored and causing trouble for others again.
Seeing that her grandmother was not listening and her parents had not returned home yet, Lin Shumei ran to call her sister. Her family had installed a new telephone this year, but she had not used it many times.
Lin Shumei is a sister complex, which leads to Lin Shuying always responding to the requests of her youngest sister, and even giving her the stars and the moon if she asks for them.
She asked if she could go back to accompany her for the college entrance examination, and Lin Shuying said that she would ask for leave first to try; she asked if she could bring back two more cheongsams, and then wear them and stand outside the examination room, which would mean that she had won the first battle, and Lin Shuying said that she would buy them after she asked for leave.
Lin Shuying said she was coming back, so would Chen Chunhua say she wouldn’t go?
She had wanted to do this before, but was rejected by the two older men. She felt it was a pity. Now that Lin Shumei asked for it herself, she responded more actively than anyone else.
So on the day of Lin Shumei's college entrance examination, except for Lin Shugan who was unable to return due to objective reasons, the rest of the Lin family sat on the side of the road outside the examination school, waiting for her to finish the exam.
Chen Chunhua and Lin Shuying both wore cheongsams.
Lin Shuying has a delicate and pretty appearance, which makes her look very suitable for wearing cheongsam. When paired with a pair of high heels, she looks like a young lady from the Republic of China.
It was the first time for Chen Chunhua to wear a cheongsam. She excitedly got her hair permed the day before the college entrance examination. She also wore high heels and put on lipstick with Lin Shuying.
Lin Guoqing felt a little happy and a little worried when he saw Chen Chunhua dressing herself up.
When he had no money before, he always wanted to save some money to buy clothes and lotion for Chunhua, so that she could dress as fashionably as the women in the city.
Now that he has money, he thinks that if Chunhua continues to dress like this, will she dislike him for being old?
So while his wife and daughter were getting clothes and jewelry done, Lin Guoqing secretly scooped a large amount of face cream into his palm, then ran into the bathroom and wiped his face in front of the mirror.
Men have to look good too!
Even Liang Shengdi was forced to wear a loose-fitting modified cheongsam reluctantly.
Mrs. Liang had never worn such a graceful and elegant skirt in her life. Although it was cool to wear a skirt in the summer, it looked strange no matter how she looked at it. It was leaking air from the bottom! She put on a pair of pants underneath.
High heels were out of the question, as she was always barefoot on the boat, so it was quite a courtesy for her to be able to wear a pair of cloth shoes.
As for Lin Shuchao, he came as soon as the shutter of the hardware store rolled down, and he didn't even bother to change his clothes. According to him, the words "starting victory" and "step by step" were all empty talk, otherwise if his whole family wore them, he would be able to go to college.
Today, they came to accompany the exam, and their family split into two groups.
Lin Shuying accompanied Lin Shumei in the car driven by Lin Guoqing and went directly to the examination room. Chen Chunhua sat in the passenger seat and helped her little daughter check if she had forgotten anything.
Liang Shengdi took Lin Shuchao on a boat ride and went for a tour around Heji first.
She ordered a batch of steamed cakes from the steamed cake shop in Heji yesterday. They sold them to her at a 20-cent discount on the purchase price. She and Lin Shuchao each had two baskets, and after filling them up, they set off for the examination hall.
Liang Shengdi said that since she was free anyway, she might as well make some money instead of sitting there bored in the sun.
There were quite a few parents accompanying their children to take the exam, and since everyone was sitting there, they were bound to get thirsty and hungry. There were plenty of people selling popsicles and cold drinks, so she sold some steamed cakes to fill their stomachs. And the students, after the exam, would surely be hungry too, so a steamed cake was just the thing for them.
Steamed cake, steamed cake, the more you eat it, the richer you become.
Liang Shengdi had already sold out her basket of snacks before the exam even started, not to mention the exam itself. Some students who traveled far away left early to avoid being late, and by the time they arrived at the school gate, their stomachs were already empty.
Parents accompanying their children to take the exam can go hungry, but the candidates cannot, so the breakfast stalls selling tea eggs, fried dough sticks and pancakes in the surrounding area are doing brisk business, including Liang Shengdi who sells steamed cakes.
She added an extra 10 cents to the price of the steamed cakes at the shop and brought them all the way here, thinking that an extra 10 cents wouldn't be too expensive. But after all the sales, she could only make 30 cents off a piece of steamed cake, hehe~
"Grandma, are you here to accompany me for the exam or to make money?" Lin Shumei pouted and muttered unhappily. Liang Shengdi directly took out a piece of steamed cake from the basket and blocked her mouth.
"Isn't this to lighten your burden?"
Liang Shengdi didn't care about the little money she earned after starting work. Judging from the experiences of her three grandchildren, their salaries when they first started working weren't even enough to live on. It was good enough that she didn't have to pay Guoqing Chunhua out of her own pocket. So why should she give it to him? Forget it!
In fact, Liang Shengdi is not short of this money. Lin Guoqing and Shen Chunhua will cover her daily food and clothing expenses. The money she earns, apart from buying snacks, is either distributed to this grandchild, or given to that granddaughter and great-grandson.
In the past few years, every time there was a festival, not only would Lin Guoqing and his wife give her red envelopes, but Lin Yulan and her husband would also give her, and those girls would also give her some more or less, especially Liu Ni, who was more generous than Chen Chunhua every time!
It can’t be spent all, it can never be spent all!
She was making money now purely for fun. To put it bluntly, she couldn't sit still, so she found things to do. As she kept doing them, she became accustomed to them...
Liang Shengdi glanced at Lin Shumei with disdain and asked, "Why haven't you gone in to take the exam yet?" If this girl didn't go in, she would feel embarrassed to go around selling things.
Lin Shumei: ...No, isn't I the protagonist today? Why am I still being disliked!
"Then I have to wait for the bell to ring before I can go in."
"oh."
