Reborn 99 Days Later, Becoming a Landlady and Getting into Tsinghua and Peking Universities
Chapter 16 People are iron, rice is steel
Liang Yili crouched down and looked the little girl in the eye, saying:
"Okay! When I sell to others, I usually sell them in sets of 10 at a time, but I'm willing to make an exception for you this time. Good luck!"
The little girl took the ring toss from Liang Yili's hand, her eyes sparkling as she gazed at the doll not far away.
Imitating the movements she had observed all night, I took a deep breath, raised the ring toss overhead, straightened my arm, and then threw it forcefully.
The crowd, who had been watching all night, held their breath and eagerly awaited the ring toss game.
Unfortunately, the ring toss landed just a tiny bit in front of the doll.
"Don't rush, adjust the angle, and throw it a little harder..."
Those who felt they had figured out the trick enthusiastically offered their guidance.
The little girl nervously licked her lips and began her second and third throws.
But without exception, they all failed.
The little girl puffed out her cheeks, took a deep breath, shook her sweaty hands, and tossed it with all her might.
The rings landed in a perfect arc above the doll, but just as everyone was about to gasp in surprise, the rings suddenly veered off course and landed next to the doll.
The little girl sniffed and squeezed the last ring toss.
The surroundings suddenly fell silent. Liang Yili looked at the crowd, who seemed even more nervous than little girls, and a smile bloomed on her face.
"Hey everyone, let's cheer on our brave little girl, shall we?"
"Go for it! You'll win!"
"Don't be discouraged, success always comes at the last minute."
"It's definitely going to work!"
Amid cheers and encouragement from the crowd, the little girl threw her last ring toss.
The rings swept through the air.
"I hit it! I got it!"
Liang Yili quickly walked to the doll, held it up high, and asked loudly:
"Whose doll is it?"
A mist welled up in the little girl's eyes as she jumped and skipped around, shouting, "Mine! I won! The doll is mine!"
Liang Yili squatted down in front of the little girl and handed her the doll: "It's getting late, take your doll and go home quickly!"
The little girl hugged the doll to her chest and touched the doll's face with her own: "Thank you, sister!"
"My dear girl? My little girl?"
"Grandma, I'm here!"
The little girl ran up to her grandmother, holding up the doll in her arms: "Grandma, look! The doll I won in the ring toss game!"
"Wow! You're so great, little girl!"
The onlookers who witnessed the whole thing couldn't help but smile knowingly.
Night fell, and twilight descended.
Liang Yili looked up at the streetlights not far away, silently expressing her gratitude to the factory leaders.
Thank you to the factory leaders for their generosity and consideration for the employees!
With the streetlights providing illumination, the ring toss game continued until after 9 p.m. that night.
Amidst everyone's reluctant gazes, Liang Yili announced, "I'm so sorry! All the prizes have been claimed. If you want to try your luck, come back tomorrow!"
"Couldn't you have prepared more food? The crayfish were sold out before I could even buy any! And the ring toss game too, it's only 9 o'clock!"
A young man complained that he had neither bought any crayfish nor managed to get a ring on his skin.
"Sorry, sorry, I'll definitely prepare more tomorrow!"
The oxcart slowly drove out of the main road of the county town. Seeing that the oxcart that had been crowded when it came was now empty, Hua Yuansheng's tightly furrowed brows completely relaxed.
Liang Ruotao looked at the bulging little bag at her sister's waist with sparkling eyes, her eyes shimmering with light.
"Uncle? Is that you?"
A figure on a bicycle rushed towards us from the front. Upon closer inspection, it was Hua'an Mountain.
Hua Anshan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the three of them, grandfather, grandfather, and grandson, all safe and sound.
Hua Yuansheng chuckled and asked, "What brings you here?"
"My father was worried because you hadn't returned yet, so he sent me to look for you!"
Starting at seven o'clock, Hua Yuanqing would send his child to the village entrance every half hour.
As darkness fell completely and Hua Yuansheng still hadn't returned, Hua Yuanqing couldn't sit still any longer. With his hands behind his back and smoking welding fumes, he headed towards the village entrance.
As a result, we waited for several more hours.
Unable to sit still any longer, Hua Yuanqing rushed to Hua Anshan to find someone.
"Thank you for your concern! It's nothing, business was just pretty good today, we..."
Upon hearing this, Hua Anshan hurriedly waved his hand, "It's good that business is good! It's good that business is good! Of course, business is the most important thing! We're just worried that you might encounter some difficulties..."
As Hua Anshan spoke, he cursed inwardly.
Damn it, who the hell is talking nonsense behind his back, saying that his uncle worked for nothing?
Aren't they all sold out?
So what if I come back a little late? It means business is good!
If he catches anyone talking badly about us behind our backs again, he'll make them pay!
Hua Yuansheng glanced at his nephew's face and immediately guessed what had happened. After a moment's thought, he directly gave the order:
"Anshan, catch a few more shrimp tomorrow, just five more than today!"
Hua Anshan's bicycle-riding figure lurched slightly, then a second later, he suddenly turned around and exclaimed in surprise:
"Five more pounds?"
"Hmm!" Hua Yuansheng said slowly, seemingly casually, but actually with a hint of boasting:
"We got complaints today. Everyone said we didn't make enough to buy, and they told us to make more tomorrow..."
You didn't see it, but when we were about to come back, they kept making us promise to cook lots of shrimp to take with us tomorrow!
"I knew it! The spicy crayfish made with pears tastes so good, it's bound to sell out! Okay, I'll get up early tomorrow and catch more crayfish!"
Hua Anshan rode his bicycle with one hand while pounding his chest with the other.
"Uncle, are they really selling so well?"
"Then there's still a lie!"
Liang Yili and Liang Ruotao sat behind the oxcart, listening to their maternal grandfather boasting to their maternal uncle, and exchanged a smile.
Before they even reached the village entrance, Hua Yuanqing's worried voice could be heard from afar:
"Asheng? Is that Asheng?"
"Brother, why aren't you asleep yet? What are you waiting here for?"
"I'm getting old, I don't need much sleep, I can't sleep, so I came out for a stroll! Haven't eaten yet? Your sister-in-law made some food, come on, let's go inside!"
Unable to resist his brother's enthusiasm, Hua Yuansheng cracked his whip and drove the oxcart straight to Hua Yuanqing's house.
Fearing the fire in the stove would go out, Yan Dahua added more firewood. Hearing the voices getting closer outside the door, she immediately removed the firewood, got up, lifted the pot lid, and carried the bowl she had carefully kept warm in the pot into the main room.
Seeing her brother-in-law bring Liang Yili and her sister into the house, she said angrily:
"Asheng, don't blame your sister-in-law for saying such harsh things."
"Food is essential for life. The Peach sisters are at a crucial stage of growth, and they've only eaten dinner now. How can they endure this in the long run?"
Liang Yili was taken aback and quickly explained, "Grandma, we went there after dinner."
“Yes, we ate it.” Liang Ruotao nodded vigorously.
Seeing the two sisters looking as if they were afraid she would blame Hua Yuansheng, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Yan Dahua's eyes.
Hua Yuansheng, however, readily agreed, saying, "Sister-in-law is right! I will definitely pay attention in the future."
No sooner had he finished speaking than his stomach began rumbling loudly throughout the room.
"Eat quickly, eat quickly, we'll talk about anything else after we've eaten our fill!"
