Ye Fan stepped on Geng Zhiye's foot.
Tao Chunlan was ready to scold her son-in-law and tell him to stop talking. As soon as she saw Ye Fan's actions, she swallowed her words back and said in her heart, "You deserve it." Then she took the chopsticks and the vegetable basin and went out.
Ye Fan glared at Geng Zhiye: "Talk too much!"
Geng Zhiye murmured in a low voice: "You're right."
"Then you can't make fun of her in front of my mother." Ye Fan gave him a look, and Geng Zhiye followed with the dishes.
Considering that the sun was very hot after lunch, playful children rarely ran out, and not many people bought popsicles, Chen Xiaohui went to Zhang Xiaoming's house at half past two. Fortunately, Zhang Xiaoming was also in Xicheng, and Chen Xiaohui was only two kilometers away by bike.
Chen Xiaohui waited for Geng Zhiqin to arrive and walked through the streets carrying popsicles. Zhang Xiaoming took the empty box to the popsicle factory to batch the popsicles.
The next morning, Ye Fan asked Geng Zhiye to accompany Dabao and Erbao to the Children's Palace. At around ten o'clock, Ye Fan set off to the Popsicle Factory. When she came back, she first went around to the park, and then went to Zhang Xiaoming's house to drop off four boxes. With the remaining three boxes, she drove to parks and scenic spots far away from the city, and stopped for a few minutes at the entrance of temples and Taoist temples. .
As expected, on such a hot day, people still prayed to God and worshiped Buddha. Ye Fan looked at the age of the guests and felt that they were students and parents taking the college entrance examination. Counting the time, the admission notices from various universities are about to arrive. No wonder the parents of students who have not received the notices are anxious.
The place Ye Fan found was short of popsicles and ice cream, so they were sold out before four o'clock. Ye Fan went to the popsicle factory to pick up three boxes, and while selling, she went to Zhang Xiaoming's house. She saw her sister-in-law and Chen Xiaohui eating watermelon at Zhang Xiaoming's house, "You two have been doing good business these past two days."
Chen Xiaohui: "I was at the entrance of the Children's Palace, and she was at the entrance of a state-owned unit not far from the Children's Palace, and half of them were sold at 12 noon. After lunch, I rested at an intersection with a shaded area, and some were bought by children in the alley. We sold out just by walking around. I think you can order a few more boxes tomorrow.”
Ye Fan: "It's already the beginning of autumn. It's not as hot as before in the morning and evening. Didn't you notice? You guys will sell it for another week and call it a day."
Chen Xiaohui motioned to her to see how hot it was outside.
Ye Fan: "Then I'll give you two a box each?"
Chen Xiaohui did not dare to ask for a box.
Ye Fan glanced at her speechlessly and turned to Geng Zhiqin, asking silently, "Where are you?"
Geng Zhiqin: “We don’t expect to sell popsicles to support our families, so why make ourselves so tired.”
Zhang Xiaoming nodded: "When I was too tired, I thought it would be better to take a day off, but because I sold an extra box and took a break to earn dozens of yuan a day, I might as well do this every day."
Ye Fan asked Chen Xiaohui: "Aren't you afraid of heat stroke at home until school starts?"
As soon as she said this, Chen Xiaohui didn't dare to be stubborn, so she shared a box of popsicles with Geng Zhiqin and went to an alley where there were many children.
There were only two boxes in Ye Fan's car, and they would definitely be sold out before the sun went down, so he wandered around the city, going wherever he went without deliberately looking for customers. I met Yu Hongwei on the way, who immediately stopped and asked: "Has Benben received the admission notice?"
Ye Fan shook his head: "It should be soon. How many times is this your trip today?"
Yu Hongwei: "It's my cousin in the morning and noon. They are now selling popsicles at the entrance of the park while resting. It's my turn to come out for a walk."
There were so many people coming out of Yujia Village this year. Ye Fan was worried that Yu Wentao would suffer from heat stroke due to cooking in the dog days of summer, so he asked the people in Yujia Village to prepare their own lunch. Ye Fan asked: "Where to have lunch?"
In the past, Yu Wentao's brothers and nephews were reluctant to eat in the city, so Ye Fan asked them to give them some money to have lunch at Ye Fan's house. Having made money last year, Ye Fan is still a little worried about rural people's habit of saving money and making do with whatever they can at noon. After a summer, their bodies will be exhausted.
Yu Hongwei said: "My cousin brought me a portion of fried noodles using the lunch box I used to use in high school."
Ye Fan nodded: "You will be less likely to get sick if you eat well."
"I know. Where is sister-in-law going?" Yu Hongwei asked.
Ye Fan: "What about you?"
"I only have a little more than one box left in my car, so I can just take it for a walk."
Ye Fan said: "Let's go together. If it's not easy to sell, wait until the workers get off work and let's go to the factory gate and try."
Although it has been several days since the beginning of autumn, due to the dense housing in the city it is not as cool as the countryside. It is still very hot when I get off work at 5 or 6 o'clock. Ye Fan and Yu Hongwei's popsicles were sold out in ten minutes in front of the factory.
Yu Hongwei went to the park gate in Dongcheng to pick up several cousins and went to Ye Fan's house. He put down the box of popsicles and returned to the village. They walked forward, while Geng Zhihui and Chu Fenghe arrived home on the back.
Ye Fan suddenly saw them and was stunned for a moment, "Come directly from the work unit?"
"No, from the train station. We are on a business trip these days." Chu Fenghe asked before Ye Fan asked her where she was going on a business trip: "Where are Huihui and Benben?"
Ye Fanxin said, as for guarding against me, is it the same as guarding against thieves? It's not like I don't know about confidentiality regulations.
"We're playing in the park." Ye Fan pulled the popsicle box back from the park. The kids wanted to play for a while, so when Ye Fan came back, she asked her mother-in-law to cook at seven o'clock.
Geng Zhihua asked: "How did Ben Ben do in the exam?"
Ye Fan suddenly wanted to complain, but now he knew to ask me. Last year, I brought someone to the Chu family for more than half a month. Why didn't you ask me for my opinion? "Benben said it was okay."
Chu Fenghe asked: "The notice has not come out yet?"
Ye Fan shook his head: "If you can stay at home for ten days and a half, you two will definitely see his notice."
Yu Wentao came out of the main room and said, "Wash your face and take a shower first. If you have anything to say, we can talk later." Then she took a large watermelon, washed it in four halves, put two halves in the refrigerator, and saved them for dinner, and the other two halves. Cut it in half and let the couple, Geng Zhiqin and Ye Fan eat it.
Geng Zhiqin came back earlier than Ye Fan and took a shower when he got home. Yu Wentao cut the watermelon, and Geng Zhiqin cleaned up the basin and towels. He went to the main room to take a bite of the watermelon and sighed happily.
Seeing this, Ye Fan asked: "Are you tired of going out every day?"
Geng Zhiqin used to stay in the park for a whole day without feeling tired. Now she is very tired after riding more than ten kilometers in half a day, but she doesn't want her mother to worry: "A little bit. Maybe I haven't done it before, and my body is not used to it yet."
Chu Fenghe asked her curiously what she had been busy with recently.
Geng Zhiqin explained that she went out by bicycle to sell popsicles. Something suddenly occurred to me. By the way, Huihui is also selling popsicles in the park this year.
Chu Fenghe frowned and asked, "Do my parents know?"
Geng Zhiqin shook his head: "I don't know."
Chu Fenghe looked thoughtful, as if she was afraid that her parents would know. Yu Wentao looked at Geng Zhiqin: Why don't you tell the truth? Geng Zhiqin handed a piece of melon to her mother: "You can eat it too. It rains less this year, so the melon feels sweeter than last year."
"Is there any?" Yu Wentao took a sip and felt the melon was sweet, not knowing whether it was due to psychological effects, so he asked Geng Zhihui and Chu Fenghe if it was sweet.
Chu Fenghe shook his head: "It's just so so. Compared with what we ate before - it's just right, not boring."
Ye Fan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this. The temperature difference between day and night in the north is large, there is less rain than in the south, and the watermelon is sweeter than in the south. If the second sister-in-law can say "before", I'm afraid it's not the northwest.
Ye Fan knew that nothing could be gained by asking, so he followed her words and said, "Eat more."
As the words fell, a burst of footsteps came from far to near. Even without turning his face, Ye Fan knew that Geng Dabao was running at the front, followed by Er Bao, and behind Er Bao was Geng Benben, who was more stable than before after the college entrance examination.
In order to confirm his guess, Ye Fan turned his head. Sure enough, Dabao was almost at the door of the main room, and Geng Zhiye had just entered the courtyard.
Dabao jumped in and said "Wow". Ye Fan spoke first: "Wash your hands!"
Erbao stopped, turned around and turned on the faucet in the yard. Then Dabao, who was the first to enter the house, ate the watermelon second. Erbao picked up the watermelon and took a bite. Then he realized that the watermelon was too big to eat and asked Ye Fan to cut it into small pieces.
Ye Fan divided the cut watermelon into four pieces horizontally, and Dabao gave a thumbs up: "As expected of my mother." "Eat yours." Ye Fan handed a piece to Geng Zhiye, who came in last.
Geng Zhihui saw his brother for a while before he came back to his senses: "You--you are not in the two-year training period? The Navy doesn't want you anymore?"
Geng Zhiye rolled his eyes at him——
Do you want me to pay attention to you?
Geng Zhihui almost choked on the watermelon. His son held back a laugh and said: "My uncle performed well in the military school. The head of the Capital Military Region who went to the school to recruit people found out that he was left in the capital."
Chu Fenghe couldn't help but feel happy for him, and also for his own family, because after they left, Geng Zhiye left again, and the family was full of old, weak, women and children. Geng Huihui encountered something at school. If she didn't go to the Chu family to find someone, she would have to trouble Ye Ye. Annoy your mother's family, or ask the villagers for help.
As an officer, Geng Zhiye was very strong and good at boxing and kicking. With him at home, they could go on business trips wherever they wanted and for as long as they wanted.
Chu Fenghe: "How many years can you stay here?"
Geng Zhihua said: "The troops are not easy to change, and they may have to retire here."
Geng Zhiye shook his head: "That's really not the case. There are many people in the army, but few people in the air force and navy. If after the reform and opening up, the country has money, expands the navy and air force, reorganizes and streamlines the army, I may still make a move."
Geng Zhiye thought about the equipment in the navy. Each one was more expensive than the last, and maintenance cost money. No wonder it was difficult to expand. Geng Zhihua wanted to tell the truth, but it felt like he was deliberately trying to argue, so he simply said: "We'll talk about it later. Can you come back often if you stay in the capital?"
Geng Zhiye: “It’s not clear yet.”
Ye Fan: "Second brother, eat the watermelon first. After you eat, we will cook and you two will have a good chat."
Before they finished eating, Zhang Xiaoming came over and Ye Fan asked him to come in and eat a piece of melon. Chu Fenghe thought that Zhang Xiaoming had something to do with Ye Fan, so he urged Geng Zhihua to eat quickly and go out since it was cool outside.
Ye Fan smiled and said: "Xiao Ming has nothing to do, he will drive to the countryside."
Chu Fenghe couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you married? Are you going to the countryside every night after getting married? Does your lover have any objection?"
Dong Ying had no objections, but there was nothing she could do about it. The house she rented only had two rooms, one bedroom and a kitchen and dining room. Because the revolution had just ended when she divorced, and everyone was worried about the resurgence of the revolution, the Dong family did not dare to buy her a house. They were also worried that she would get into trouble by living in a big house, so they allowed her to rent a small house.
The small house where the two of them lived was very comfortable, and Dong Ying thought it was quite good. Zhang Xiaoming moved in, and Dong Ying made a curtain in the bedroom and a small bed for her daughter. The family of three lived together, and Zhang Xiaoming didn't dare to have any ideas while sleeping at home.
Dong Ying mentioned changing a house, and Zhang Xiaoming said that after saving money for a few days, the house he bought would be spacious after tidying up and moving there. Dong Yingye was too lazy to move, so the family of three made do.
Zhang Xiaoming was embarrassed to tell the truth in public, so he said that his lover was reasonable and very easy to talk to. Chu Fenghe knew that it was not easy for him, so when he heard this, he said: "Then live a good life and don't let others feel sorry for you."
"I know." Zhang Xiaoming threw the melon rind into the trash can, washed his hands, and took the gas tank to the door to drive.
Chu Fenghe looked at his back and said: "It's so fast. In the past, Uncle Zhang asked Fanfan to do business, but he had nothing. Only now, the house and wife have everything."
When Ye Fan heard "house" and thought about the money in his hand, he discussed buying two stores with Geng Zhiye that night.
Geng Zhiye: "Open a store? Can we open a store?"
Ye Fan shook his head: "Some cities in the south can do it, but not here."
"Then why did you buy a store?"
Ye Fan: "Sell things grown in the village in front of the store. The house is yours and the things are yours, so who can refuse to sell them? If you don't let them be sold in the store, just put the things in front of the store."
< br>
Geng Zhiye sighed: "You are really good at exploiting loopholes. Don't forget, you are a student now."
"I remember." Ye Fan said, "I am so anxious to make money because I also want to get a computer."
Geng Zhiye subconsciously asked: "What?"
"Computer." Ye Fan thought for a moment and added a few words, "Information technology."
Geng Zhiye thought of the computer elective she took this semester, "Is it expensive?"
Ye Fan: "There are none in the mainland. If you go to Xiangjiang to buy one, the cheapest one costs 10,000 to 20,000 yuan."
Geng Zhiye sat up from the bed.
Ye Fan was stunned, what happened to him.
Geng Zhiye asked in disbelief: "How much did you say?"
Ye Fan: "Ten thousand or twenty thousand, maybe twenty or thirty thousand."
"One?" As Ye Fan nodded, Geng Zhiye took a breath, "What about robbing money? Isn't this more profitable than dumping those things into our country in the late Qing Dynasty?"
Ye Fan doesn't know the current production cost of a computer, but she knows very well that there is no near-monopoly business that doesn't make money. "It should be very profitable, but it's not as fast as that thing."
Geng Zhiye pondered for a moment and said: "Ye Fan, how about you change your major, stop studying classical Chinese, specialize in computers, and then produce computers."
Ye Fan was stunned. Which one of them lived an extra lifetime? How dare you think more than me?
Geng Zhiye couldn't help but ask: "Is it difficult? Am I so whimsical?"
Ye Fan shook his head subconsciously: "No - I make computers? Do you want to produce them yourself?"
"That's right. Look, you are from the computer science department. You must know the internal structure of computers, right? Our country has set up several special economic zones. If you need anything, go to the special economic zones to buy it." The more Geng Zhiye said it, the more he felt that this matter was very simple, but it was really simple. If they are produced in Western countries, computers cannot be that expensive. "Am I oversimplifying this?"
Ye Fan nodded: "There are some things we cannot produce ourselves."
Geng Zhiye was stunned for a moment: "I, I didn't say to use all domestic products. We can buy and develop them at the same time. Many weapons in our army are developed in this way. You see, we can use an abacus to calculate the first mushroom egg, and a computer Isn’t it simpler than mushroom eggs? ”
Ye Fan was moved by what he said: "I'll talk to my classmates when school starts?"
"Let's talk. Your classmates in the computer department all have good family backgrounds, right?"
Ye Fan nodded. These days, rural people and even ordinary citizens in the capital have never heard of computers, let alone asking their children to apply for the exam: "Do you mean to form a partnership with your classmates?"
Geng Zhiye: "Can you do this alone?"
Ye Fan shook his head: "I'm too busy. Not to mention other things, the production of shells requires one or two people to travel to the south to make molds."
Geng Zhiye said: "They can help you share the work, and they can also pay to help you share the risk."
Ye Fan couldn't help but get up: "Do you really think it's okay?"
Geng Zhiye: "I don't know about others, but I feel you can do it. Ye Fanfan, it's not like you to be so unsure."

The author said: The computer thing is beyond my original plan. It was written and written in a smooth manner, just like talking in a hurry. Geng Zhiye dared to think more than I did
