The first step to a rich country is to get rich first and then get richer

At dinner, both Lan Ning's family and Aunt Li's family enjoyed the food especially deliciously.

"How about we take this and sell it, what do you think?"

Lan Ning's eyes were sparkling as he looked at the three people in front of him expectantly.

When Grandma Lan heard her granddaughter say she wanted to sell this, she hurriedly shook her head, as if she was worried, and grabbed Lan Ning's hand before speaking.

"Nannan, no, it's too dangerous to sell things at the market. There are many street bullies who will bully you in the name of collecting taxes. If you don't pay enough, they will beat you up. Then, not only will you not be able to continue your business, you won't even be able to keep your stall."

Grandma Lan is very familiar with this. To be exact, she is not the only one who knows it, but many people in the village are very clear about it.

Most of the people in their village moved here later, and as a whole, they are the poorest among these villages.

The previous village chief came up with an idea: the whole village raised funds to do business.

There were several women in the village who were good at cooking, so they thought of starting a food business.

The first few days were fine, but in the next few days someone came to cause trouble for them. They were all very scared and there was nothing they could do.

What could they do? They were just a bunch of rural villagers, and the fact that they could come up with the idea of ​​doing business was already a sign of their outstanding achievements among the common people.

At first they wanted to resist, but after many of them were beaten and sent to the hospital, they became afraid and dared not resist.

As a result, the money raised for the business was wasted. Although everyone had complaints, they only dared to complain in private and said publicly that they didn't care. This was also an irresistible force for them.

Lan Ning was also stunned when she heard what her grandmother said. Yes, she had not thought about this problem, but doing business was the only way she could think of to make money.

Suddenly, she thought of the man selling pork, and maybe she could try her luck with him.

"Grandma, come with me to the county town tomorrow. I want to find a way to sell these things."

"NanNan..."

"Grandma, I'm sleepy. I'm going to wash up and go to bed."

Lan Ning quickly interrupted Grandma Lan's subsequent persuasion, saying that if she didn't try, it would be useless no matter how much she tried.

Seeing her granddaughter yawning with her mouth wide open, Grandma Lan forgot what she was going to say and hurried to help her granddaughter get water to wash.

"Grandma, please don't. Your injury hasn't healed yet. I can do it myself."

After saying that, he ran to the kitchen, with three little tails following him.

"Sister Lan, Sister Lan, please take me there tomorrow. I want to go too."

Bai Tian's big watery eyes looked straight at Lan Ning.

Meng Anran quickly raised his hand.

"Sister Lan, please take me with you."

"Ouch."

【And me. And me.】

“Why are so many people going there? We don’t even know if they can sell it.”

"Good sister, take me there, take me there."

Seeing that Sister Lan disagreed, Bai Tian immediately started to act like a spoiled child, while Meng Anran stood aside awkwardly without saying a word.

Lan Ning felt dizzy from being shaken by Bai Tian and quickly raised his hands in surrender.

"Okay, okay, I'll take you there. I'll take you there."

"Ouch."

【What about me? What about me?】

Lan Ning pushed the howling big white wolf.

"You can't go there without scaring others."

Meng Anran, who was standing by, took two steps back upon hearing this, hiding himself completely in the darkness and becoming even quieter.

Lan Ning noticed something was wrong with Meng Anran and grabbed her hand accurately based on his intuition.

"Sister An Ran, you have to accompany me tomorrow. I'm unreliable during the day. Grandma's health hasn't recovered yet. I'm afraid I can't handle it alone."

Meng Anran suddenly raised his head and looked straight in the direction of Lan Ning.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Her answer was quick, with joy in her voice.

Although you can't see it, you can hear that she is very happy.

He lit the oil lamp, washed a few pairs of chopsticks, picked up a few chicken feet and wings, and took out the chicken head and cut it neatly into several small pieces.

"What is this for?"

Bai Tian leaned over and reached out to take one to eat, but Lan Ning slapped him away.

“This is for the customers to taste tomorrow, don’t touch it.

Sister Anran, you should get up early tomorrow morning and heat all of these up. We will then take a backpack and put more straw in it to keep it warm. You can also put the braised dishes in the pot and put it in the backpack and cover it so that it won’t get cold easily.

During the day, go and tell Grandpa Lan tomorrow that we will hire his ox cart for a day, ten cents per trip."

When he heard that he also had arrangements during the day, he quickly responded and promised that he would do it well.

Everyone was arranged properly and washed up to get ready for bed. Meng Anran even carefully fetched water for Grandma Lan to wash up.

When Dabai saw that he was not assigned any task, he pretended to be nonchalant, turned around and went back to his nest with his head held high.

The next day, Lan Ning was woken up before dawn. When he sat up, he vaguely heard the crowing of a rooster from Aunt Li's house next door.

"Wake up, grandma."

"Yes, you have to go early, otherwise you won't be able to find a stall."

Grandma Lan's tone was a little worried. She didn't agree, but the children in the family all wanted to give it a try, and as an old woman, she couldn't discourage the children.

Lan Ning pretended not to notice his grandmother's worry, and got up and put on his clothes.

When I walked out of the house, I found that Bai Tian and Meng Anran had already prepared everything.

"You guys are so fast, I haven't even gone to pick the leaves yet."

“Why are you picking leaves?”

I didn't understand it during the day.

"Use it to make chicken feet when the time comes."

"I picked it."

Grandma Lan's voice sounded behind the children.

"I knew you guys would definitely want some, so I went to pick them early this morning, but I haven't had time to wash them yet."

"Grandma, you are so kind. I will wash it right away."

She also asked why her grandmother didn't get up today even though she heard them get up during the day. It turned out that they got up early in the morning to pick leaves.

Lan Ning hugged her grandmother and hurried to help Meng Anran fetch water to wash the leaves.

After a while, Old Man Lan came over driving a ox cart.

"Grandpa Lan is here, go open the door."

【finally come. 】

"I go."

He seemed unusually excited today, rushing around like a little firecracker.

The door opened and Grandpa Lan's ox cart had just arrived at the door.

"Hey, Bai Xiaozi, how did you know I was coming?"

"Sister Lan heard it."

Bai Tian answered once and turned around to move his stuff.

Old Man Lan knew that this family was made up of old and young, injured and weak, so he didn't care about anything else and got out of the car to help move the things during the day.

It’s still this country road, and it’s still Old Man Lan’s clumsy country tune.

But the difference was that there was no sarcastic and calculating woman talking in the ox cart, but instead there were children playing and the old woman's gentle comforting voice.

"We're here. I'll still be waiting for you here. You can go in by yourselves."

When the old cow reached its old position, it stopped on its own and did not move forward another step.

"Okay, Grandpa Lan, I'll bring you something delicious at noon."

"Brother Lan, I'm in trouble."

The three children each took a little of the burden, picked up all the things they needed, and lined up in the queue for entering the city, which was not very crowded at the moment.
