There is a mountain in her arms

To be entrusted by others is to be loyal to others.

Jiang Yichen specifically told Wang Quan to use this exam to find out his ability and then give him targeted tutoring.

Wang Quan suddenly felt under great pressure. The exam was only a few days away. He listened carefully in class every day, practiced exercises diligently, and asked Jiang Yichen on the spot if he didn't understand something.

Li Li and Zhang Ji both saw it, but Zhang Ji was the best. Whenever he asked his deskmate, she would tell him.

Li Li felt a little embarrassed. He couldn't let go of his pride, but he didn't want to ask either.

Jiang Yicheng pretended not to notice, she was very busy these days. Grandpa Jiang had been cleaning up the house according to Jiang Yicheng's request and bought a lot of shelves.

This row of houses at the school gate was built for tenants to rest in the past. They are all square compartments with only one door and one window.

The ancestors of the Song family were officials, and they owned a lot of land, and there were many talented people in the family. Some of them joined the army, some were politicians, some were businessmen, and some were well-known good people.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Song family donated all their wealth to buy military supplies for the country. The two sons of the Song family also joined the army one after another, leaving the two elders and the eldest son's wife and daughter at home.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, both sons died on the battlefield. The old couple took care of the remaining land and raised their granddaughter with their daughter-in-law, who was Song Niao.

Later, the government wanted to set up a school here, so Song Niao's mother decided to donate the land. The government was grateful and arranged for her daughter to work at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

However, this row of houses has been preserved and the property rights are still under the name of the Song family.

Jiang Yichen was not greedy and only rented one room, which was also a way to find something for his grandparents to do in the next three years.

"How about it? I'll push down this wall as you requested, and paint the inside. Then I'll put shelves on both sides, and two double-sided cabinets in the middle."

At lunch time, Grandpa Jiang brought her lunch and took her to see the results.

"That way it's OK. When others buy something, it's clear at a glance."

"Okay, then I'll go find the source of supply."

Grandpa Jiang was relieved when he saw her nod and decided to proceed to the next step.

"Yes! I'll take leave and go with you."

"No need! You should just focus on school."

"It's okay. I know what I'm going to buy. Besides, you definitely don't know as much as I do about what to buy."

"OK then!"

Jiang Yicheng ate his meal in a hurry and went back to school. During the break, Jiang Yicheng handed Cao Fang a note asking for leave.

Cao Fang's eyelids twitched, and the corners of his mouth trembled when he saw the number of days.

"Three days? Isn't that a bit too much?"

"I originally wanted to take a week's tour, but I was afraid I might scare you, so I shortened the trip."

Jiang Yichen's face was still a little hesitant, as if she was considering taking a few more days off.

"Three days is just right, no more, no less. I agree, you should go back to class!"

Cao Fang quickly took the note and urged her to go back to class in a friendly manner.

If this ancestor is unhappy, things will be even worse.

"Thank you, Teacher Cao! Goodbye, Teacher Cao!"

"Lao Cao, this Jiang Yicheng is quite polite. What is she doing here?"

The head teacher of Class 3 just came in to get some water. When he saw Jiang Yichen leaving, he sighed again and asked, "Why is he not from our class?"

"Haha! Nothing!"

Cao Fang's hands trembled a little, and he responded pretending to be indifferent.

In the last class, Jiang Yichen handed Wang Quan a few papers.

"I'm going to take a few days off. If you have any questions during these days, please write them down first and I'll tell you when I come back."

"Where?"

"secret!"

"OK!"

Wang Quan tactfully made a zipping gesture.

Jiang Yicheng smiled and pushed him straight. Zhang Ji also heard what she said and whispered, "Have a nice trip!"

"Thank you! You can also record your questions and wait for me to come back. I will bring you gifts then."

"A word is settled!"

Li Li listened to their interaction, drew a long line on the paper with the tip of his pen, and continued to do the questions as if nothing had happened.

The next day, Jiang Yichen and his grandfather went to Peixi City, next to Ning'an City, because there were several large stationery factories there.

They chose the first factory that had a wide variety of small commodities and directly explained their purpose to the factory's sales staff.

The factory's sales manager personally led them to visit the workshop and introduced them to the various products of their factory.

Grandpa Jiang was so happy that he didn't know why a manager would lead him around. Jiang Yicheng understood clearly. They must have found a way to open up the market from them, and they were the prey that came to them.

Jiang Yichen didn't mind, but through this investigation, she discovered new business opportunities.

It is the two-dollar store that was once popular all over the world in the past. The small commodities here can be displayed together with school supplies and still attract popularity.

They did not make a decision immediately, and they visited several other factories.

Finally, we reached cooperation with three factories and bought some on the spot to try to sell them. If they sell well, they will call us to order more.

The two of them didn't expect that they had resolved the issue in just two days and bought afternoon tickets to go home.

In the evening, the whole family brought the items to the store and arranged them one by one. For this purpose, Jiang Yicheng even made a price list for grandpa and grandma in case they could not remember it.

"Sister, why don't you put one on the shelf? It can promote the product and let others see the price."

An An's words were like a bolt of enlightenment to Jiang Yichen, who pinched his little face.

"good idea!"

In the morning, Jiang Yicheng went to school with her grandmother. Grandpa first sent An An to school and then came to the store.

When Jiang Yichen stepped into the classroom, Wang Quan's eyes lit up and he ran over with a bun in his mouth.

"Sister Orange, you're here!"

"uh-huh!"

"It feels like a long time since we last met. It's been two days already. You should understand my feelings!"

"You're crazy so early in the morning, eat your buns."

Jiang Yicheng put one hand on his forehead and pushed him away. Zhang Ji finished the soy milk in two or three gulps and took out his notebook.

"Jiang Yicheng, explain these two questions to me."

"Okay! Let me take a look first."

Wang Quan also reacted instantly, swallowed the bun in one gulp, and took out his notebook.

"Me too, me too."

"Come one by one."

Jiang Yichen patiently explained the questions to them, and everyone in the classroom was silent.

When Cao Fang came over from behind, he stood at the back door and waited for them to finish speaking before he calmly came in through the front door.

"Hello, classmate!"

"Hello teacher!"

"Now open the textbook to page 28 and continue yesterday's lesson."

The morning class ended like this. At noon, Jiang Yichen did not go home for lunch, but dragged Wang Quan out of the school together.

"Look! How is it?"

"Sister Cheng, so you want to open a stationery store! That's a good idea. You won't have to worry about lack of business in front of the school."

"Wang Quan, come in with Cheng Cheng to eat."

"Grandpa Jiang, Grandma Jiang."

Grandma Jiang heard Wang Quan's voice, came out and invited him in to eat.

"Of course! Sister Cheng, you don't have to run back and forth at noon, you can even take a nap."

Wang Quan looked at the food in lunch boxes on a folding table and smiled.

“But my grandma has to run back and forth.”

"It's nothing. There's no one around when you're in class anyway. I'll just go back and make some and bring it over so we can eat together. It'll be more lively."

Grandma Jiang didn't care at all, Jiang Yichen asked while eating.

"Not many people came to buy today, but it's normal at the beginning."

Grandpa Jiang took a bite of rice and spoke casually.

"Most of the people here live on campus, and they may not know there's a store right next door. We have to think of a solution."

Jiang Yichen frowned, and Wang Quan spoke vaguely while gnawing on a chicken foot.

"Sister Cheng, isn't the exam coming up soon? We have to prepare all the equipment. I'll call a few classmates to buy some together. When the time comes, I'll spread the word so that everyone will know."

"Wang Quan, you're great! I'll give you credit for this!"

"Haha! Grandma Jiang will just prepare some delicious food for me. Sister Cheng, you have never been to the cafeteria. There is nothing there, and you need a ticket."

"Poor kid, come out to eat with Cheng Cheng every day from now on. Grandma will make more for you. Studying is mentally taxing, so you need to supplement your nutrition."

"Thank you grandma!"

Wang Quan smiled like a fool. Jiang Yichen was a little jealous and contradicted him.

"Come on! I saw someone eating two big meat buns this morning."

"Sister Cheng, don't you know that you have to fight for breakfast every day? If you go too late, you will only have steamed bread and plain porridge."

"The food in the school cafeteria is so bad?"

"It depends on what you compare it with. If it's compared with the countryside, at least you can have enough to eat, as long as there's no oil or water. If it's compared with the current living standards in the city, then of course it's a little bit worse."

"Eighty-five percent of the students who attend No. 1 Middle School are from the city. Only a few rural students with outstanding academic performance study here. These people are specially recruited by No. 1 Middle School for the sake of the enrollment rate. Of course, the teaching quality of No. 1 Middle School is also the best in the city. Students from the city who can get into this school will not be bad either."

Jiang Yichen was moved when he heard Wang Quan's explanation.

"So if you say we sell food outside, will the students be willing to buy it?"

"I don't know about others, but Zhang Ji and I are willing to do so. We both ran to the alley across the street to buy them several times."

"Ah? Sister Cheng, you are so cunning. You actually ate so many braised chicken feet while I was talking."

When Wang Quan lowered his head, he found a large pile of bones in front of Jiang Yichen, and quickly joined the camp.

Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang both smiled as they watched the two people fight over the food.

In the afternoon, Wang Quan deliberately dragged three male classmates to the door to buy a lot of stationery supplies.

After coming back, he boasted about it to Zhang Ji in an exaggerated way. When he heard that no tickets were needed, word spread quickly. Everyone knew about the stationery store next door and went to buy tickets. The old couple was in a panic.

When they got home in the evening, the old couple emptied out the cash box in their hands, which was full of banknotes.

An An counted the money with the old couple with sparkling eyes. Jiang Yichen took out a notebook and kept accounts for them.

"Seven dollars and thirty-eight cents. This is what I earned in half a day. Wouldn't it be more in a day? Wouldn't it be several hundred a month?"

The more Grandma Jiang calculated, the happier she became, and she felt like money was waving to her.

"Grandma doesn't calculate it that way. A pencil will take several days to use if used every day. A notebook is not used every day. Even a ruler and a pencil sharpener will take a long time to use."

"Is there any cost involved? Then we won't make much money every day?"

Grandma Jiang instantly felt relieved and Grandpa Jiang pulled her hand.

"Old lady, have you forgotten that there is not just one student in the school? There are hundreds or even thousands! And we are a volume seller. As long as they go to school, we will have no problem finding business."

"Grandpa is right. Besides, didn't we buy a lot of trinkets and gadgets? Those can also attract people. I was worried that you would be too busy by then."

Jiang Yichen comforted her, and An An rushed over and shook her grandmother's arms.

"Grandma, there's still me. I can help you."

"You little clever guy!"

Grandma Jiang smiled and tapped his nose, and Grandpa Jiang turned to ask about Jiang Yichen.

"Chengcheng, I don't know how your aunt's business is going. How about asking them to sell breakfast food next to us?"

"Grandpa, you're worrying too much. I can't guarantee it. If they lose, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep."

Grandpa Jiang looked embarrassed when he heard what Jiang Yichen said.

"It's not that your uncle's family is burdened with too much pressure, so I'm worried about it too!"

"I think he's just free. If you're really worried, just give him a call. We don't lack money anyway. But I also want to go to Beijing during the winter vacation, so I'll let you know in advance."

Grandpa Jiang's eyelids twitched, feeling that his granddaughter was about to do something big again.

"What to do?"

"I want to buy a piece of land and plant fruit seedlings. It takes three to five years for a fruit tree to bear fruit, so I have to plant them first. Otherwise, my plan will be delayed for many years, and someone might get there first, which will make it even harder for me to control it in the future."

When Grandma Jiang heard her speak so seriously, she nodded.

"You go and do it, you go and do it, and your grandfather and I will plant it when the time comes."

"Pfft"

Jiang Yichen couldn't help but hug his grandmother and bent over with laughter.

"Grandma, why are you so cute? I paid a lot of money to buy the land, why can't I spend a little money to hire someone to plant the trees? Planting trees is so tiring, how can I bear to let you do it? When the time comes, you just need to supervise, just like the landlady inspecting the territory."

"Bah! You're still teasing grandma, the landlady? I don't even dare to think about it."

Grandma Jiang blushed a little. Jiang Yichen sat up straight and looked into her eyes seriously.

"Grandma, I'm serious. I want to make sure you and Grandpa have endless happiness."

"I believe everything you said. I am enjoying myself now."

"not enough!"

Jiang Yichen kept these two words in his heart.

Over the next few days, her shop really started to become popular.

Jiang Yicheng and Wang Quan sometimes help out at noon, and everyone knows that this shop belongs to Jiang Yicheng.

At the end of the month exam, Jiang Yichen took the absolute first place and became the top student in the entire grade.

More and more people knew her, and her small shop became a little popular. The old couple was so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.

Li Li looked at the results on the ranking list and felt a little discouraged. He had worked very hard during this period, and Jiang Yicheng didn't study much every day and even asked for leave, but her score was still far ahead.

It wasn't just Li Li who was dissatisfied, there were also Fang Ru, Zhao Xiaonan, and many others in the class.

They used to be celebrities in junior high school, but after coming here they have become ordinary. This gap cannot be understood in a day or two.

Cao Fang looked at the listless students in the classroom, communicated with other teachers, and provided them with psychological counseling in batches.

Although I don’t know if it was effective, they all regained their energy.

However, Wang Quan was the only one who was significantly different from them. His grades were in the lower middle level when he entered the class, but this time he actually ranked in the upper middle level.

There were 60 people in the class, and he ranked 18th, also 18th in the grade. Song Niao found out and took him and Jiang Yicheng out for a meal.
