Wang Kang saw Zhou Guoqiang's nervous appearance and teased: "Your family has produced two people who know how to do business. You make money selling pork, but it's not enough, so you let your child set up a stall to sell tea. No wonder your tile house is being built! At this rate, your family will surely become rich!"

  Zhou Guoqiang's face turned slightly red, and it was even more difficult to explain that selling tea water was the child's own idea. If he said so, wouldn't he be ridiculed for using his child as an excuse?

  She simply acknowledged it with a thick face, anyway doing business without a thick skin is impossible.

  After doing business for so many years, Zhou Guoqiang has a deep understanding of this. Not everyone is kind and generous, and he will inevitably encounter some petty-minded people who are always calculating, and after dealing with them for a long time, Zhou Guoqiang is no longer the thin-skinned person who couldn't tolerate two words that he used to be.

  "With your auspicious words, I'll definitely invite you over for a drink when I strike it rich!" Zhou Guoqiang chuckled.

  Wang Kang put away the meat and went to call Wang Jingjing back home.

  Wang Jingjing hesitated and didn't want to leave. She turned her eyes around: "Dad, are you thirsty? Let's have a cup of jasmine tea here before we go!" Unexpectedly, she helped Zhou Xiaoyun with business.

  Wang Kang was indeed a bit thirsty after being told so, and he took out one mao (a small amount of money) to buy a cup of tea and drank it in two or three gulps.

  The tea water had long been cold, and drinking it down was very comfortable. The poor-quality tea leaves couldn't be said to be good-tasting, but they were better than plain boiled water, especially with a hint of sweetness.

  Wang Kang licked his lips and praised: "The taste is really good!"

  Zhou Xiaoyun instructed Da Bao to open a bottle of soda for Wang Jingjing: "This bottle is on me, I'm treating Wang Jingjing, don't take any money."

  Wang Jingjing happily took over the soda and started drinking it.

  Wang Kang was somewhat surprised and didn't have time to decline before seeing Wang Jingjing had already swallowed two mouthfuls: "How can this be, I'll pay for it instead!"

  Zhou Xiaoyun refused to accept the money: "Uncle, don't be polite. Wang Jingjing and I are classmates and good friends, inviting her for a bottle of soda is only natural. I'm not running a business here, if I take your money what would I become? No big deal, you can just buy more pork from my dad's place next time!"

  When necessary, Zhou Xiaoyun was absolutely eloquent, and Wang Kang was left speechless, having no choice but to put the money away.

  He was puzzled, how did the children of Lao Zhou's family become so skilled at doing things? Looking at this experienced appearance, it doesn't seem like an 8 or 9-year-old child at all, but rather a little adult.

  Wang Jingjing put down the soda bottle and couldn't find any more excuses to stay for a few more minutes, so she bid farewell to Zhou Xiaoyun with a heavy heart.

  Zhou Xiaoyun couldn't bear it and got up, making a horn shape with her hands and shouting loudly in the direction of Wang Jingjing: "I'll come to your house this afternoon to play with you!"

  Needless to say, Wang Jingjing must have heard it. She immediately smiled and skipped away happily.

  As the crowd in the market dispersed, Zhou Guoqiang led his siblings Zhou Xiaoyun to pack up their stall. The tricycle was not small but was packed to the brim with goods, and although Zhou Guoqiang wanted to let Zhou Xiaoyun sit on it, there really wasn't any space left.

  "Dad, don't move around anymore. There are so many things on the car, where can people sit? I have a stool to sit on and it's not tiring at all. Walking back with my brother is fine. It's you who has to work hard, pushing this heavy cart back!"

  Zhou Guoqiang was heartbroken by his daughter's cleverness and insisted that Zhou Xiaoyun sit on the car seat.

  Zhou Xiaoyun said several times that it was inconvenient to push a tricycle on the upper seat of the bus, but she couldn't bear Zhou Guoqiang's persistence and had to climb up to the middle seat by the handrail.

  Zhou Xiaoyun's face couldn't help but reveal her delight, this kind of fatherly love that was expressed in words but proven in actions warmed her heart.

  Zhou Guoqiang shouted and pushed the tricycle forward, with Dabao following behind him, occasionally lending a hand.

  He didn't feel jealous of the attention his sister received, after all he was three years older and had a strong physique, plenty of energy to run around all day without getting tired, walking two steps wasn't a big deal.

  After returning home, Xiaobao and Er Ya rushed over first. Half of it was to welcome brother and sister back, but the more important reason was that soda had returned.

  Before everything was put away, Xiao Bao urged Zhou Xiaoyun: "Sister, open a bottle of soda for me to drink! I'm dying of thirst."

  "Me too, sister! I also want a drink!"

  Zhou Xiaoyun reluctantly took two bottles of soda from the car, opened them and gave one to Xiao Bao and Er Ya. After thinking for a moment, she also opened another bottle for Da Bao. The three of them drank their soda with great relish.

  Zhou Guoqiang called Zhao Yuzhen to move all the things down from the car. Since Zhou Xiaoyun started paying 5 yuan at every market, Zhao Yuzhen still quite approved of her daughter selling tea. Seeing Zhou Guoqiang calling her to do something, she came over without saying a word.

  Father and mother were sweating profusely, Zhou Xiaoyun felt a bit uneasy in her heart. She opened two bottles of the most expensive champagne to quench their thirst.

  To be honest, Zhao Yu Zhen really didn't want to open it herself and drink it.

  Thinking that a bottle of wholesale price is three cents more, selling it can earn one cent more. Zhao Yu Zhen is used to saving money and doesn't want to drink it. However, her daughter has already opened the bottle cap, and now they can't take it back to sell anymore.

  Zhao Yuzhen thought of this and took a stool to sit down and drink slowly.

  The taste is really good! Zhao Yuzhen thought while drinking.

  Zhou Guoqiang tilted his head and finished a bottle in two gulps, feeling a refreshing sensation rising up, and let out a comfortable belch. He couldn't help but glance at Zhao Yuzhen's affected delicate manner of sipping slowly: "You'll still be drinking this one bottle until tonight."

  Zhao Yuzhen was so angry that she said: "You think everyone is like you, I love to drink slowly, my daughter is filial and opens a drink for me, but doesn't let me savor it properly."

  Zhou Guoqiang burst out laughing and was about to make another joke.

  "Dad, could you please move this table to Da Bao and Xiao Bao's room? There really isn't enough space in my room."

  Zhou Guoqiang immediately did as he was told and swallowed back the words that had just reached his lips.

  Zhou Xiaoyun breathed a sigh of relief and wiped away her sweat, having narrowly avoided a major family conflict.

  At this time, Zhao Yu Zhen suddenly discovered that everyone in the family had drunk a beverage except for Zhou Xiao Yun who hadn't drunk anything: "Dà jiě, it's so hot today, why haven't you drunk any soda? Hurry up and open a bottle to drink. Dà bǎo, help your sister open a bottle."

  To be honest, Zhou Xiaoyun really didn't want to drink it. Isn't that what they say, business people are all stingy? Thinking that the soda that could have been exchanged for cash had gone into his own belly made him feel a little heartbroken!

  However, today's weather is particularly hot, and I'm really thirsty.

  Zhou Xiaoyun drank the soda that Da Bao handed over, orange flavor with bubbles, it's not inferior to Meiziyuan orange juice!

  Dabao took advantage of the opportunity to open another bottle of soda for himself and secretly hid in the house to drink it.

  Zhou Xiaoyun didn't bother arguing with him because he had performed well today and earned a lot of money for himself.

  Two girls can't finish one bottle of wine, people are small and their stomachs are also small.

  However, when Xiaobao wanted to drink again, Zhou Xiayun immediately stopped him: "Xiaobao, you can't drink anymore. This soda is very cold, and you're used to drinking plain water normally. Didn't I say so? You can only drink one bottle of soda a day, or it will give you diarrhea."
