The waiting time is always very slow. Yuan Fangguo felt that the two-day special train ride for his second brother and his companions seemed like two years. After waiting for a long time, he finally got the news that his second brother and his companions had returned safely.
As soon as they heard the news, Yuan Fangguo and Li Chunli quickly found a truck and headed straight to Damiao Town to retrieve the goods.
The two of them were busy from noon until after eight o'clock in the evening before they finally sorted out all the goods.
"Fang Guo, your final exams are coming soon, right?" Li Chunli couldn't help but ask after taking a sip of hot water.
Yuan Fangguo nodded. "The final exam is coming up, but our Chinese department's exams aren't difficult. A lot of it is comprehension-based, so passing shouldn't be a problem at all."
"Will that affect your scholarship?" Li Chunli was still a little worried.
Yuan Fangguo smiled and said, "Sister Li, the scholarship is only a few hundred yuan. Compared with this batch of goods, it is a piece of cake."
Yuan Fangguo's confidence and focus made Li Chunli feel relieved of her previous worries about his studies. It was true that they needed to make money, but Yuan Fangguo's studies could not be delayed either.
Yuan Fangguo's confidence was not blind. He knew early on that he did not have much spare time, so he used 100% of his energy to listen to every class. In addition, his basic knowledge was already good, so the foundation of his study was also quite solid. Naturally, the final exam was no problem for him.
It was also because the final exams were approaching that Yuan Fangguo and his classmates had fewer courses starting in January. Many courses became self-study classes, and the school's winter vacation time was also clarified. There would be three days of exams from the 17th to the 19th, and then the winter vacation would begin.
Affected by the final exams, Sun Haitao and his social situation research team had to stop, but Sun Haitao still found Yuan Fangguo privately. Several members would stay for another week after the exams, and they would definitely be able to get things done before January 26.
Yuan Fangguo and Li Chunli discussed for a while and decided to act separately in order to make use of the golden period before the Spring Festival as soon as possible. Otherwise, they would not be able to sell much before the end of the month. Li Chunli simply closed the store. There were two female employees in the store, one with Yuan Fangguo and the other with her to go to the market. The two of them were quite determined and prepared to fight hard in the next two weeks.
From the 3rd to the 9th, a whole week, Yuan Fangguo spent almost all his time outside running around the market, except for four and a half days of classes and team training and competitions.
This time they not only went to the big towns, but also to the nearby county towns. As the Spring Festival was approaching, more and more people who worked outside returned home. In addition, rural people also had the habit of buying some New Year's goods before the Spring Festival. Therefore, sometimes it was late to set up the stalls. Yuan Fangguo and Li Chunli were simply too lazy to go back, so they stayed in the county town for one night and set up a night market by the way.
At the end of the week, the combined profit of the two of them was around 6,000 yuan every day.
From the 9th to the 15th, Yuan Fangguo continued with his previous arrangements. This week he had more disposable time, and his profits increased as migrant workers returned home, increasing by an average of 2,000 yuan per day.
On the evening of the 15th, the two men had just returned from their respective stalls and were busy calculating their profits without even having time to eat.
"How much money did you make?" Seeing Yuan Fangguo stopped calculating, Li Chunli asked impatiently.
"I made a total of 98,000 yuan, plus the 8,000 yuan I made from the TV and clothing business, which makes about 106,000 yuan."
This is just the money the two of them earned from the market. As for the stationery store, Yang Xuexiu also gave the profit of the last two weeks, which is almost 9,000 yuan.
"So how much of our goods have we sold?"
"one third."
"Does this mean we can earn around 300,000 this time?"
“That’s the number.”
"Okay, then I'll go set up a stall these few days. You don't have to go. Just review well at school." The closer the exam got, the more worried Li Chunli became about Yuan Fangguo. She was worried that Yuan Fangguo would be careless.
Yuan Fangguo nodded in agreement with Li Chunli's suggestion. He also decided to concentrate on his studies. After all, this was the final exam for his first semester at university. He had been in the top three in his class when he first entered the university. If he didn't do well this time...
On the 16th, Yuan Fangguo studied hard for a whole day. He took exams on the 17th and 19th. After the last advanced mathematics exam, he found that many students in the class were in tears.
It turned out that they were all complaining that the advanced math questions in this year's final exam were too difficult.
"It's dead, it's dead..." Yi Juntao, Sun Kejian and Lai Xiaojun all complained to him one by one.
"Is it difficult?" Yuan Fangguo finally couldn't help but ask.
"Fuck..." In an instant, he was met with a cold stare.
"Dapeng, how did you do in the exam?" Yi Juntao was also taking the exam for the first time. He originally thought that the seats would be assigned according to the student numbers, but when he arrived at the examination room, he found that it was not the case at all. It was purely a first-come, first-served basis. He secretly regretted it in his heart. If he had known earlier, he would have sat next to Yuan Fangguo or Gao Dapeng. Maybe he could have passed the exam with just a few glances.
"It's okay." Gao Dapeng said calmly.
"Fuck, he's pretending again." After Yi Juntao finished yelling, his face was full of sadness. He guessed that both he and Sun Kejian were dead.
"Let's get together tonight. Are you guys all taking the car for tomorrow?" Yuan Fangguo said at this time.
Although they didn't do well in the last advanced mathematics exam, Yi Juntao, Sun Kejian and others quickly adjusted their mindsets. They were all going home for the New Year, so what difficulties could they not deal with in the right way?
Sun Kejian and Yi Juntao both have trains tomorrow, so this meal can be considered as a farewell for them.
Fellow villager Lai Xiaojun needs to stay in Chengdu for two days before going back. The school does not close during the entire winter vacation, which is good for Gao Dapeng who does not plan to go home during the Spring Festival. At least he has a place to stay.
Yuan Fangguo didn't plan to go back to school to live. During dinner, he asked Gao Dapeng if he would like to live with him in the company.
My roommates and fellow villagers also knew about the existence of Dongjin Company, but they didn’t know that this company was a joint venture between Yuan Fangguo and Li Chunli.
"Where are you going to live?" Gao Dapeng was surprised.
Yuan Fangguo nodded. "I live there. The compartment inside can just fit two beds. There's a toilet at the back. We can buy a water heater, so taking a shower won't be a problem."
Gao Dapeng agreed decisively. Living outside with Yuan Fangguo's company was definitely much better than staying alone in the dormitory.
That night, everyone drank a lot of wine, so when they went back, Sun Kejian, who was not very drunk, was carried back directly.
