Chapter 20 Start making money
Ji Yuanyuan is now a weak little boy with short legs, so naturally he can't help much and can only watch from the side.
Li Xu worked very efficiently. She held a shovel and turned the soil quickly.
But there was a lot of land here, and only about half of it was turned over in one afternoon.
In the afternoon, the three children went to school as usual. After a morning, Ji Yuanyuan had completely adapted to the rhythm of the elementary school monks.
In the evening, the first grade finished school early, so Ji Yuanyuan went to wait for Ji Ziang outside his class.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the fourth grade class finally ended.
A group of children were walking out. Ji Yuanyuan stretched her head to look, but didn't see Ji Ziang.
Suddenly, Ji Ziang reached out and patted her: "What are you looking at?"
Ji Yuanyuan lowered her gaze and saw Ji Ziang.
Then, she sighed helplessly.
This Ji Ziang is too short.
He is nine years old this year. A normal nine-year-old child should be about 1.3 meters tall. He is at the stage where he needs to buy tickets to take the bus and pay half price to go to the park.
But Ji Ziang's height is still around 1.2 meters.
Among a group of children of the same age, he was half a head shorter than others.
No wonder Ji Yuanyuan didn’t see him just now.
In her previous life, Ji Yuanyuan did not participate in Ji Ziang's growth, so she didn't know how he grew up.
Ji Ziang during this period was not only short but also dark and had a very ordinary appearance.
I don’t know how he became so handsome when he grew up.
Although he is a professional racing driver who makes a living by his strength, his face also attracted him a lot of fans in his previous life.
Thinking of this, Ji Yuanyuan let out another long sigh. Just then, Ji Zixuan came over, and the three of them went home together.
At night, Li Xu finally turned the soil over and then scattered all the seeds.
"Mom, let's go sell all these fruits tomorrow?" Ji Yuanyuan suggested before going to bed.
The fruits in the space have been ripe for a long time, but she just hasn't picked them yet.
Li Xu pondered for a moment before saying, "Okay, let's try it tomorrow. It's a good opportunity to practice."
The next morning, Ji Yuanyuan woke up early. She and Li Xu entered the space again and picked a full bamboo basket of fruits.
There are about a dozen fruit trees over there, and only three kinds of them: apple, pear and peach.
Li Xu didn't touch any of the apples or pears, he only picked some peaches.
Apples and pears are fruits that ripen in autumn. There are many of them on the market now, but they are not worth much. However, peaches are different. The peaches on the market are basically sold out by the end of August. Although they can still be bought in September, they are relatively small and not very sweet.
It is now the end of October. Although peaches can still be bought, they are all stored in cold storage. After being refrigerated for a long time, the taste will be a little worse.
But the peaches here are different. They are freshly picked and taste very good. They will definitely sell well.
Ji Yuanyuan nodded appreciatively: Mom does have a good business sense.
Not knowing what the market situation was like, Li Xu didn’t dare pick too much and only picked about 50 kilograms.
He also picked a few apples and pears for Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziang to eat.
After picking the fruits, Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziang were still not awake. The two of them stayed up late last night, so Li Xu didn't call them, wanting to take advantage of the morning rush hour to test the waters.
Li Xu carried a basket of peaches by himself with difficulty, and Ji Yuanyuan followed closely behind him, and the two went to the nearby market.
This is the largest vegetable market in the county. There are always people here from morning to night.
Li Xu didn't pay the booth fee, so he didn't dare to go in. He had to find an empty spot outside and squat down. It was a bit cold in the early morning because it was a gusty place. Li Xu held Ji Yuanyuan in his arms and asked in a low voice, "Yuanyuan, are you cold? How about I go buy you some buns?"
Ji Yuanyuan shook her head: "Mom, I'm not hungry. Let's go home and eat after we finish selling."
Before Li Xu could say anything, a fashionable-looking woman came over and asked, "Sister, how much are these peaches?"
"Seventy cents a pound." Li Xu said with a guilty conscience.
In the summer, peaches usually cost around 40 cents, and some good quality ones can be sold for 50 cents.
The reason she said 70 cents was to leave room for bargaining. Her price in mind was 50 to 60 cents per pound.
After all, peaches are not common nowadays, and these peaches are big and sweet.
The woman muttered, "It's so expensive."
It was Li Xu's first time doing business, and when he heard this, his face turned red.
Seeing this, Ji Yuanyuan said, "Sister, our peaches are all grown by ourselves. They are big and sweet. Let me give you one to try."
As she spoke, she took out a fruit knife from the box and handed it to Li Xu: "Mom, cut off a big piece and let me try it."
Li Xu finally came to his senses and quickly cut a peach and gave a quarter of it to the woman.
Seeing that Ji Yuanyuan was cute and sweet, the woman couldn't help but smile: "Little friend, you are so beautiful."
Ji Yuanyuan smiled, revealing her beautiful teeth: "Sister, you are also very beautiful."
The woman took the peach from Li Xu's hand, took a bite, and her eyes widened immediately: "What a sweet peach."
Ji Yuanyuan looked at Li Xu proudly.
After eating, the woman said, "Big sister, give me ten kilograms."
Li Xu's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it: "Ten pounds?"
The woman smiled and nodded: "Yes, ten pounds."
Li Xu hurriedly weighed the woman, and she hit the scale high.
Seeing this, the woman nodded with satisfaction.
After handing the money to Li Xu, she asked again: "Big sister, what else do you grow at home? Will you come again in the future?"
Li Xu nodded quickly: "I'm coming back. I want to rent a stall inside. I also planted some vegetables at home, and they are almost ripe."
The woman smiled and said, "Okay, I'll come back again in the future."
After the woman left, Li Xu touched the seven dollars and smiled happily: "Yuanyuan, mommy made money. If you want to eat something later, mommy will buy it for you."
Ji Yuanyuan thought about it, leaned over to Li Xu's ear and whispered, "How about we save some money and buy a dairy cow? Then we can feed our second brother milk every day, and he will grow taller."
I didn’t think so at first, but today when I saw Ji Ziang standing with boys of the same age, I realized that he was really too short.
In fact, Li Xu has always been worried about this issue.
If a boy grows short, it will be difficult for him to find a wife in the future.
However, what she couldn't understand was that both Ji Jianguo and she were tall, so why was Ji Ziang so short?
I don't know who he took after.
"A calf costs four or five hundred yuan. We don't have that kind of money." Li Xu shook his head.
After a pause, he continued, "When you go back, buy a pound and try drinking it for a while."
There's no need to try it, there's scientific evidence that drinking milk can help you grow taller.
Ji Yuanyuan was anxious in her heart, but she still looked confused on the surface.
After the woman bought ten kilograms of peaches, Ji Yuanyuan and Li Xu stayed there for almost half an hour, and no one came to ask questions.
