Qiao Haisheng watched his daughter and Su Chenhao's figures disappear one by one, lost in thought. The two seemed like a good match, but the age difference was a bit too big.
There's a seven or eight-year age gap! Oh well, I was overthinking it; my daughter is still young!
"What are you thinking about?" Li Meihua asked.
"I wasn't thinking about anything. You've been busy all morning, so you should go back and rest for a bit. I'll go tidy up the things in the yard and lie down on the kang (heated brick bed) for a while later."
"Um!"
Tao Chunfang wiped her daughter's mouth clean with a handkerchief: "Mom, I'll take Manli to the field to check on the corn later."
Li Meihua turned around and said, "Then be careful and pay attention to safety, especially keep a close eye on the child, and make sure he doesn't get lost."
"Okay!" Tao Chunfang smiled and agreed. With a sense of purpose in life, she felt that no matter how much work she did, it wouldn't be tiring.
...
Qiao Xiaoni was a little nervous at first, but she gradually got used to it over the next few minutes. Su Chenhao was a better rider than Qiao Xiaoshan; he wouldn't ride over any potholes. The seat had a soft cushion, making it much more comfortable than yesterday. With nothing else to do...
What kind of work have you been doing these past two years?
"At first, I worked odd jobs at a shoe factory, mainly doing sales. Later, I discovered some business opportunities and started doing some buying and selling on my own, earning a little money."
"You're quite capable!"
"No, I mean, I've been to a lot of places, I like to use my brain, and if I can come up with a way to make money before others, that's how I do it."
"You're right, it doesn't hurt to use your brain more." Qiao Xiaoni thought that if she ever wanted to do any business in the future, she could ask Su Chenhao for advice. He had experience in the outside world and would definitely know something about it.
Su Chenhao rode his bicycle steadily and quickly caught up with Qiao Xiaoshan.
"Ride slowly, I'll go to town first to find a place to set up a stall."
Qiao Xiaoshan raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead; he had only ridden for a short while and his forehead was already sweating.
"Brother, my sister has already taken care of the place to set up her stall. You don't need to worry about it. Just be careful on the road and don't let my sister fall."
Su Chenhao nodded: "Alright, I understand. We'll be going now."
Qiao Xiaoshan nodded and slowed down a bit, making sure the vegetable pancakes didn't break.
Su Chenhao sped up, leaving Qiao Xiaoshan far behind. The bicycle only slowed down as they approached the town.
"Xiao Ni, I heard from your brother that you're planning to set up a stall in town?"
"Yes, I'm planning to start a small business selling fried dough sticks."
"You know how to fry dough sticks?" Su Chenhao got off his bicycle.
Qiao Xiaoni got out of the car neatly and efficiently: "I heard from my classmates that I plan to buy some materials in town today and make the haul truck first."
"You...you're really incredibly brave." Su Chenhao was so shocked he didn't know what to say. The little girl in front of him had a very strong sense of self.
Qiao Xiaoni smiled and said, "I have confidence in my skills. After we buy the materials at noon, we'll try to make it tonight."
You can stay a little longer and try my cooking.
"Okay, I'll go back a little later tonight and see if you can make fried dough sticks. Nobody here has ever tried them, but I have; they're incredibly delicious. Have you decided on a price yet?"
Qiao Xiaoni wasn't very familiar with current prices, so she looked at him and said, "How much does a fried dough stick cost when you eat it outside? Have you ever had tofu pudding or soy milk? They're eaten with fried dough sticks, or you can have them with porridge or pickled vegetables."
