“…”

Ye Changning suddenly fell silent.

So Ye Xiaoxiao also fell silent.

She let it go too early.

"Third brother, your friend hasn't told me how you are going to make money, has he?"

"There are more opportunities to make money against Dacheng than for us..." Ye Changning was embarrassed to say that he was leaving his hometown because of an uncertain news.

"Third brother, I have an idea."

Ye Xiaoxiao stared at Ye Changning with light in her eyes.

Ye Changning finished the rice in his bowl in a few bites and said, "You say."

"If you don't have a plan for what to do, you'll be at a loss even if you go to a coastal city. I have a few ideas. Currently, there are ways to make money, one of which is clothing. You can buy goods from coastal factories at very low prices, and you can make a few dollars by reselling them.

Another type is electrical appliances, which have a very high cost price and also have to be calculated for transportation. They can be sold in the city, where the market is smaller and the profit is huge, but you need to find the right source of goods.”

Ye Xiaoxiao held her chin. The book did not say how Ye Changning made money in the beginning, but she could remind him of some details.

After listening to this, Ye Changning felt as if he had suddenly realized something.

"In fact, I originally wanted to get some clothes from the coast and sell them, but I definitely can't sell them in our village. I have to sell them in the county town at least."

Ye Xiaoxiao asked again: "Third brother, do you have any capital?"

Ye Changning: "I just have a friend in the county who can lend me money. We can write an IOU first."

When Ye Xiaoxiao heard this, she realized that this friend without a name was not the one who later turned against her.

But this doesn't sound credible.

What is the purpose of spending money?

Does Ye Changning know any rich friends?

She pretended to be innocent and asked, "Third brother, what kind of friend is that? What we agreed on before, does it still count now? What if he is also in a hurry for money and conflicts with you?"

Ye Changning shook his head, "We don't have any money. Even if we want to pay for it ourselves, we have to have the ability. My money is just for travel expenses, not to mention Gangbu. He is even poorer than our family."

Ye Xiaoxiao whispered: "I can lend it to Third Brother."

Ye Changning's eyes lit up.

"It's not much, just one thousand yuan. If Third Brother makes money, he can just give me the interest. This way, you don't have to rely too much on friends. You have your own capital and you are free to do whatever you want."

Ye Changning looked at the other person and said, "Where did you get so much money? It couldn't be that your parents gave it to you. I don't want it."

Ye Xiaoxiao: "My friend lent it to me and I will return it later."

Ye Changning was in high spirits. He had never expected that things would turn out brighter. The problems that had trapped him before now had solutions.

In fact, who doesn’t want to do business and make a lot of money?

But they are all limited by narrow vision and poor reality.

"What are you two whispering about? Stop making trouble. New Year's Day is coming soon." Zhang Xue came over to collect the dishes and reminded her younger brothers and sisters.

Ye Changning shut up.

He didn't want to tell his family, because his parents would definitely not agree.

Ye Xiaoxiao handed the remittance slip of one thousand yuan that Duan Lei gave to Ye Changning.

"Third brother, don't make me look away."

"No, Third Brother will definitely return it to you double."

Ye Changsheng packed up the remittance slip and decided to find Gang 떚 tomorrow to ask him to tell his friend that he didn't need to write any IOU.

He has the capital to start a business!

…

The days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was New Year's Eve.

Ye Xiaoxiao thought Lu Han was going to celebrate the New Year here, but unexpectedly, the helicopter that picked them up drove directly into the village, and the soldiers who had been trapped here for many days were finally able to leave.

Many children in the village went to see the plane eagerly.

These village children have never seen anything flying in the sky.

Lu Han was here on a mission this time and didn't have much money with him.

But before leaving, I told Zhang Rengui that the accommodation fee would be transferred as soon as possible.

Zhang Rengui didn't care about this. After all, he didn't eat much during the few days he stayed in the village.

I feel bad about charging you.

While moving the injured person, Lu Han took the opportunity to say to Ye Xiaoxiao: "If you change your mind before the college entrance examination, please contact me at any time."

Ye Xiaoxiao smiled: "Thank you."

The helicopter flew away, and Xiaoxiao Village regained its peace.

But soon, every household became bustling.

The Ye family has been quite busy these days, with people coming every day to ask Miao Feng 껚 to help write Spring Festival couplets.

It wasn't until New Year's Eve that things finally calmed down a little.

The New Year's Eve dinner is eaten with grandpa and grandma at my uncle's house in the front yard.

Ye Xiaoxiao met Ye Changyuan's brother, Ye Changjun.

Ye Jianye has four children, two girls and two boys. His two daughters are already married, and now they are waiting for Ye Changjun to get married.

It is difficult for boys in Baishi Village to find a wife.

Because people from other villages are unwilling to marry here.

Ye Changyuan secretly told Ye Xiaoxiao: "My father has already found a wife for my eldest brother in town, but her family wants a 100 yuan dowry and three big items. Where can we afford it?"

Ye Changsheng: "Brother Jun, do you like this girl?"

Ye Changyuan touched his head and said, "My eldest brother is a quiet man. He won't say anything even if you ask him."

Ye Xiaoxiao: "That must be because Jun-ge doesn't like you enough. If he liked you, he would have told me even without being asked."

Ye Changyuan: "What do you know, little brat? Forget it... Let's go play with fireworks and forget about these annoying things."

So Ye Xiaoxiao went to play with firecrackers with Ye Changyuan and the others.

After playing outside for a while, my hands were frozen.

The three of them ran back home and covered their hands with the beans from the brazier.

Dumplings and several pots of meat and vegetables were prepared for the New Year's Eve dinner, and the chickens, ducks and geese that were usually stored were also placed on the table.

When the firecrackers outside rang, the whole family raised their glasses to celebrate.

Ye Xiaoxiao's first New Year in this world brought her a different kind of warmth.

In the past, even during the New Year, the Ye family would work overtime. After her grandfather passed away, she was often the only one left at home.

And now, she is spending the New Year with all her relatives.

After finally making it through the night, on New Year's Day, everyone got up early to pay New Year's greetings.

This was Ye Xiaoxiao’s first year at the Ye family, and her grandparents gave her five yuan wrapped in red cloth as a token of their appreciation.

Ye Jianguo and Ye Jianye, as well as several of her brothers and sisters-in-law, also gave her red envelopes.

Ye Xiaoxiao took it generously.

Then he gave the red envelopes he had prepared to his two nephews.

Ye Bao didn't understand what it was. Seeing his aunt giving him something, he thought it was candy and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

Ye Baocheng pulled him out, "Little fool, this is money, not candy."

Ye Changqing picked up the eldest brother and said, "Your younger brother is stupid, what are you?"

Ye Baocheng said loudly: "I am very smart!"

Everyone laughed.

After greeting her family, Ye Xiaoxiao followed her brothers to visit other uncles' homes, which was a formal way for her to meet everyone in the Ye family.

It was already afternoon after we finished paying New Year’s greetings, so we started preparing dinner.

There was no need for Ye Xiaoxiao to do anything at home, and there was no one for her to help with the kitchen.

She doesn't know how to cook a big pot at home, and she can't even light a fire.

Ye Changsheng was reading a book, and Ye Changyuan ran out to play, so she could play with Ye Baocheng.

Ye Baocheng played with the glass beads in his hand and flicked them back and forth. After playing for a while, he said, "Aunt, you are so stupid."

Ye Xiaoxiao: “…”
