829 Need to Think of a New Plan
The couple tasted the seeds doubtfully. After they tried, they could not stop eating. The man also felt that it was very expensive, but in order to appear generous and not embarrass himself in front of the girl he liked, he decided not to be too concerned about the additional few cents.
“Give me two cups,” the man said.
Gradually, Zhang Qin realized that the people who came to the cinema were all young couples. Very few people would come to watch the movie alone. If it was a couple who came to buy seeds together, Zhang Qin would take the initiative to take out some seeds from her bag and give them to the man to try.
She realized that it was usually the man who paid for the purchase, so giving the man a taste was the fastest way to make a sale.
When they had almost sold everything, the three of them packed up and went home.
“We’re back!” Zhang Wei and Zhang Qin ran into Qiao Mei’s courtyard happily.
Qiao Mei walked into the courtyard while supporting her stomach and asked, “How was the sales today?”
“We sold 70 pounds! We sold everything today!” Zhang Qin shook the bag excitedly.
“It’s all thanks to these two children today. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to sell all the seeds!” Li Gui said as she wiped the sweat off her temples.
Li Gui gave all the money to the two children and asked them to go into the house to count their earnings for the day. Although they had a good time selling the seeds, she had some new concerns now.
“Qiao Mei, we don’t have much seeds left. Once we sell everything, we don’t have anything else to do,” Li Gui said with a sigh.
Qiao Mei had also thought about this. She had only sent 500 pounds from the village. If Li Gui continued to sell at the same speed, it would be sold out in a week.
It was time to think of a new plan.
“Let me think about it. There’s no hurry,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.
The next morning, Qian’e arrived at Qiao Mei’s house punctually. The night before, Qiao Mei had told the children to stay at home because she had something important to tell them.
“Say, missy. You ask me to come to your house to teach them how to play the piano so why aren’t you up yet?” Qian’e stood at the door of Qiao Mei’s bedroom with a helpless expression.
Once it was winter, Qiao Mei started to like to curl up under the covers and could stay in bed for a long time every day. If she did not have something to do, she could lie in bed the whole day without moving.
“I’ll get up now,” Qiao Mei said as she stretched.
This was the first time Qian’e had waited so patiently for someone. If it was in the past, she would have lost her temper and walked out long ago.
After Qiao Mei washed up and dressed up, she brought Qian’e to look for the children. The children were helping Li Gui with the housework in the courtyard. There was a huge maple tree outside their door and it was currently the season of falling leaves. Every day, many leaves would fall at the entrance of the courtyard. If they did not tidy up, there would be a smell of decay in the entire courtyard.
“These children are so sensible…” Qian’e had a tender look on her face when she looked at the four children.
Zhang Miao was the first to notice Qiao Mei. She rolled the wheels of the wheelchair excitedly and headed towards Qiao Mei anxiously. For a moment, she did not notice that there was an uneven floor tile on the stone brick road. The wheelchair lost its balance and Zhang Miao was sent flying out.
Qian’e instinctively ran forward to catch Zhang Miao. In her hastiness, she even sprained her own ankle.
“Miao Miao!” Qiao Mei shouted nervously.
Zhang Miao was so shocked that she wailed as she crouched on Qian’e. Not only did Qian’e not find Zhang Miao noisy, but she hugged her gently and stroked her head. “Be good~ You’re fine now~”
Zhang Wei pulled up the wheelchair. Qian’e only dared to put Zhang Miao back in the wheelchair after confirming that the wheelchair was not damaged.
“I’ll get someone to repair the floor tiles later. How are you? Are you injured?” Qiao Mei asked as she looked at Qian’e nervously.
Qian’e gently rotated her wrists and ankles and said in pain, “I think I twisted my ankle. I’ll be fine after resting for a while.”
Qiao Mei helped her to sit on a chair at the side. She took out the small medicine bottle she had with her and poured out two drops on her hand.
“Take off your socks and shoes. I’ll massage it for you,” Qiao Mei said as she raised her hands.
Qian’e did not stand on ceremony with her and placed her feet on the stone table to support herself. She was worried that if Qiao Mei exerted too much strength, she would instinctively kick Qiao Mei out of pain.
Qian’e felt Qiao Mei’s warm hands on her ankle and felt the pain easing a lot instantly. She had never seen this type of medicine before.
