Gao Wei took the old man's suggestion to heart and discussed it with Li Yuying. Starting from the second week, he set up a small stall at his doorstep.
They don't care about how much money this stall can make. They just want to use this opportunity to let their two children go out and not be afraid of the outside world.
Because they were earning money for their family, the two sensible children were a little scared, but in the end they bravely took the first step.
At first, when people came to buy things, they didn't dare to look up at them and spoke in a low voice. Fortunately, the people who came were all neighbors, and they were very tolerant of children and had a very good attitude.
This made the two brothers, who had often been subjected to the cold stares and cold violence of their fellow villagers in the past one or two years, very uncomfortable.
But after all, they were young, and they stayed away from the negative environment in time before their personalities were fully formed. They met new and kind neighbors, grandparents, and treated their friends warmly. In just one month, the mental outlook of the two children was very different from before.
I no longer lock myself in the house all day long. In my free time, I will play games with my friends. I smile more often. When I have dinner with my parents in the evening, I call many other children's names.
Such a change made Gao Wei and Li Yuying burst into tears.
How long has it been since they saw a child like this?
Obviously, she used to be such a cheerful and lively little kid.
When she returned to the dormitory, Li Yuying couldn't help crying in front of her sisters, and then kept thanking Jianshu.
That look made others feel happy and sad.
Then a group of people scolded the people from Gao Wei's hometown.
Perhaps because the past two years were difficult, the family's life has changed dramatically since they came to Beijing.
The two children are slowly regaining their former confidence and liveliness, and the family business is getting better and better.
It was just the first month and still in the trial stage, but the net profit still reached an astonishing two hundred and eighty.
How does this mean? Many people only earn 20 or 30 yuan, but this is equivalent to nearly a year's salary for many people.
In the past two months, the couple got up early and went to bed late every day to run back and forth between the countryside and the city, but they earned less than what they earn in a month now.
That night after settling the accounts, the couple lay in bed, staring at the ceiling and not daring to close their eyes, for fear that they were dreaming.
A few years ago, when Li Yuying was pregnant, her family was very poor. When she was in confinement, Gao Wei killed a chicken and made soup for her. She was so heartbroken that she cried.
Now, there is meat at every meal at home, and we can eat a chicken every few days.
If they had been told this day would come a few years ago, they would definitely not have believed it.
And this is just the beginning.
The first month's income was like a shot of adrenaline, and starting from the second month, Gao Wei worked even harder.
The sales volume is increasing, the types of products sold are increasing, and the income is growing rapidly.
By the end of the second month, profits had doubled from the previous month.
In the third month, the business gradually stabilized, the growth was not as big as before, and the profit was 680 yuan.
In the fourth month, profits saw another wave of growth.
College students are about to have their winter vacation. Will those students who go home bring back some local specialties?
Gaoji's braised food, which has been very popular among students in the past six months, has certainly won the favor of many people. Many people come to place orders, and most of them place orders for several kilograms.
It’s winter now, so you can freeze the braised food right after you pack it. You don’t have to worry about it spoiling or spilling. When you get home, you can just heat it up in a pot and eat it.
So, a few days before the holiday, the number of orders Gao Wei received exceeded the total amount he usually did every day. Fortunately, Li Yuying had also had a holiday after her exams, otherwise he would not be able to finish it all if he did it alone.
After working for several days, the fire in the stove at home was never extinguished. The two were exhausted, but they finally finished processing all the students' orders.
But there is no time to rest for a few more days. As the New Year approaches, people have started to prepare for the New Year.
Another wave of orders is coming.
The ingredients I originally ordered from fellow villagers were not enough, so I hurried to the countryside to contact people. Fortunately, I had a wide network of contacts when I was selling vegetables before, so I finally ordered enough ingredients.
After being busy for more than half a month, the two finally closed the business the day before the Chinese New Year.
This is the first year that their family of four has come to Beijing, and it is a new beginning.
While Li Yuying was busy, Jianshu received good news.
"Can I really be transferred back to Beijing?"
Gu Mingjing hugged his wife and rubbed her head, like a clingy cat. "Well, the transfer order has come down, but I still have work to finish and hand over, so I can't go back with you this time."
The smile on Jian Shu's face grew wider and wider. "It's okay. It's just a matter of waiting a little longer. We've already waited two years. A little longer won't make a difference."
Gu Mingjing sniffed the fragrance of her hair and took a deep breath, "Soon we will no longer be apart."
With this good news, Jianshu had a very happy New Year.
After the Lunar New Year, Wu Xiufang came to visit her family and held Jianshu's hand with reluctance, saying, "After this separation, I don't know when we will meet again."
Not only was Gu Mingjing being transferred, but Captain Zhao's application for demobilization had also been approved.
"Sister-in-law, in a few years, when Shitou and the others are admitted to university, you can come to Beijing with them to visit me. Then I will take you to climb the Great Wall and see Tiananmen Square." Jianshu patted her hand and comforted her.
Wu Xiufang smiled. "Just because of what you said, I'll have to make them study hard and try to get into Beijing!"
All good things must come to an end, and life is always full of partings.
Within two days, Jianshu packed his luggage and took his daughter back to Beijing.
The moment she walked out of the yard, Jian Shu couldn't help but look back at the house where she had lived for five or six years.
This time, I'm really leaving.
The vehicle slowly drove out of the family compound. Looking at the familiar gate that was getting farther and farther away, she felt a strange feeling in her heart.
The camp remains permanent, but the soldiers are transient.
Maybe a new group of people will come here, maybe they will gradually be forgotten, and no one will remember the family of three who once lived here.
