"Xiao Yue, do you really see it that way?" Tang Mingli's hesitant heart was somewhat moved when he saw how certain Tang Yue appeared.
"Yes." Tang Yue nodded, thinking that if her uncle really made money, then when their parents come to the county to do business, they would be more convinced as well.
Tang Yue's eyes whirled as she grinned, revealing her dimples, and said, "Uncle, you can first ask around to see if someone is selling, and, for the first batch of goods, don't buy too much, just try it out, right?"
...
Tang Yue said all she had to say, and Tang Mingli was very tempted. As for whether he would go for it, Tang Yue believed that after her uncle asked around, he would definitely do it.
The next day was the weekend, and Tang Yue spent the entire day in the library. She ate only steamed buns for lunch and dinner, which was the cheapest option. She also wanted to save up a little money to buy Xiao Jun a comic book.
Unfortunately, one can't do anything without money in hand.
What Tang Yue could do was to study hard and think of ways to earn her first bucket of gold.
Wangjiang County.
After finishing his work at the restaurant, Tang Mingli, having some free time, began to inquire around places with a lot of people.
Tang Mingli also had a sharp mind. From the way he inquired about Wang Gui's matters, he was very smart.
In one week, not only did Tang Mingli figure out the cost of setting up a stall, but he even knew exactly how much the bus fare to the Provincial City was.
Friday.
Early on, Tang Yue got the comic book she had purchased, and also brought back home the empty jar of pickled vegetables that Xu Zhenzhen had given her last weekend.
Although she didn't go home last weekend, Zhang Hualian still made pickled meat for her. Although there wasn't much meat, it was filled with Zhang Hualian's love for her daughter.
"Tang Yue, why has your handwriting changed?" asked Xu Zhenzhen curiously as she walked with Tang Yue towards the school gate.
This past week, Xu Zhenzhen inadvertently saw Tang Yue's homework, and she noticed how beautiful Tang Yue's writing had become. It was quite different from the handwriting of a primary school student.
"Maybe it's because I practiced with Xiao Jun during the summer vacation," Tang Yue answered coolly. For the past half month, she had spent very little time with Xu Zhenzhen, focusing on nothing but her studies with no time to spare.
But Xu Zhenzhen, after class, would either go out to play with her dorm mates, Tian Tian, and others, or go to the sports field to sunbathe.
"Really?" Xu Zhenzhen asked curiously, "Didn't you used to hate practicing writing?"
"People change," Tang Yue replied.
Xu Zhenzhen felt that Tang Yue had changed, but when asked how exactly, she couldn't quite pinpoint it.
"Xiao Yue." Tang Mingli had been waiting at the school gate the whole time, and his face lit up with a smile when he saw Tang Yue.
"Uncle." A faint smile appeared on Tang Yue's face. Without asking, she knew what decision her uncle had made.
"Uncle, did you need something from me?" Tang Yue nudged Tang Mingli to the side, intentionally putting some distance between him and Xu Zhenzhen.
"Fine, I'll cover the travel expenses." Tang Mingli felt a bit of a pinch, but he thought if the clothes they bought weren't attractive and couldn't be sold, that would truly be a loss.
