Chapter 760 Freshman Admission
Seeing that Wang Guilan had a plan in mind, Wei Wei didn't say anything.
Looking at Wang Guilan's back as she walked away with her child, she looked down at the pearl hairpin in her hand, and touched the wool bracelet on her wrist.
I suddenly felt that not everyone is born so bad, most of them are just forced by life.
In fact, in this era, you can really become a millionaire by setting up stalls, and many people in later generations became rich by setting up stalls.
The business is just beginning to develop. As long as Wang Guilan can put aside her pride as a scholar and is willing to engage in some so-called speculation and profiteering, her life will definitely not be bad.
On the other side, Wang Guilan was filled with hope when she heard Wei Wei's proposal. She felt that life was getting better and better, and all the hardships and tiredness she had endured during this period were worth it.
Even though she looks glamorous and beautiful now, she was really in a mess at the beginning.
At the beginning, I could only rent a small house in a small courtyard in an alley near Peking University. It was small but could shelter me from the wind and rain.
She divided the twenty yuan borrowed from Wei Wei into two halves, using half to pay rent and buy cornmeal and sweet potatoes, and saving the other half to buy materials for making jewelry.
From then on, she went to her stall early every day and came back late.
She would constantly improve her accessories based on the styles in the magazines Wei Wei gave her.
Use colorful yarn to make a bracelet, cut out small butterfly shapes from cardboard, paint them, and stick them on hairpins.
She would also go to the flea market to buy some old buttons, wash them and string them into necklaces, which were cheap and beautiful.
Gradually, her stall had repeat customers, and many young girls knew that there was a lady selling handmade jewelry at the entrance of the alley, and her items were beautiful and inexpensive.
Sometimes she is too busy, and the auntie who sells socks at the stall next to her will help her watch the stall for a while.
People always say to her, "It's not easy for you, girl. You are so capable taking care of two children."
Gradually, Wang Guilan also changed. She no longer complained about life like before, nor did she rely on others. She got up early and went to bed late every day. She attended classes during the day from Monday to Friday, did handicrafts at night, and set up a stall on Saturdays and Sundays. She had endless energy.
She knew that Wei Wei was right. She sold small accessories, and no one would be willing to come if she looked so sloppy.
So she would keep her children clean and wear freshly washed clothes.
When encountering customers who bargain, she will negotiate with a smile and is no longer as timid as before.
She knew that Wei Wei would occasionally look at her when she passed by the school gate where she was setting up her stall on Fridays and Saturdays.
During the holidays, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi were bored and went to the entrance of the alley where Wang Guilan lived to take a look at her. They tore up the IOU written by Wang Guilan in front of her.
Seeing that Wang Guilan was so busy, Wei Wei gave her a small suggestion.
Wei Wei saw that Wang Guilan's landlady would occasionally help Wang Guilan, and thought that she could also make these little things for Wang Guilan.
Wei Wei suggested that she give some work to the old lady so that she could earn some pocket money and feel more relaxed.
Moreover, Wang Guilan will not earn less, because with the increase in volume, she can make small profits but quick turnover.
Wang Guilan still has to study and doesn't have much time to do handicrafts, but the old lady is different. As long as she wants, she can do it all day long.
In this case, we can just give her the goods by piece.
These words seemed to open up Wang Guilan's Ren and Du meridians, and she immediately put them into practice flexibly, and stuffed Wei Wei with a large number of handmade dolls.
Wei Wei no longer needed to buy these things because Wang Guilan gave her a lot of them. Jiang Qi became a regular customer there and brought a lot of business to Wang Guilan.
Wei Wei looked at the bracelet in her hand and felt the softness of the wool. She knew that Wang Guilan was really different. The educated youth who once relied on others and pretended to be pitiful had now become a down-to-earth and tough mother, a woman who struggled with her own hands.
Jiang Qi was inspired by Wang Guilan's stall setting up, and also took a lot of things from Wei Wei to set up her stall, and she enjoyed the work very much.
Wei Wei didn't have time to go because she had to do hard labor for the teacher.
In September, Kyoto University became lively again. A new batch of students entered the school, making it particularly lively.
Wei Wei and Xiao Xuemu also moved out of the dormitory, but their beds were still reserved. If they didn't have time to go back, they could just take a nap in the dormitory.
A new student also came to Wang Guilan's bed. She was also from their department, but this year's new student. Her name was Li Juan.
Even though Wang Guilan was gone, and even though that bed was the lower bunk, no one wanted to sleep on it because the shadow was too big.
In the past year, Wei Wei has mastered the skill of "playing the pig and eating the tiger" to perfection in school.
It is obvious that his head is filled with knowledge for the next few decades, but he never shows off. However, he does not hide his shortcomings in professional knowledge. He keeps a low profile in normal times, but performs extremely well in exams, and always gets first place. This makes Zhang Biyun very angry.
Because Zhang Biyun would spend all her time in the library whenever she had time, but Wei Wei had rarely been to the library, but her grades were always far ahead.
