Reborn 99 Days Later, Becoming a Landlady and Getting into Tsinghua and Peking Universities

"Good friend? Why do you want to be good friends with me?" Hua Lichu asked, puzzled.

Zhang Xinran blushed, and her fingers, hidden under the table, unconsciously crossed themselves.

"You treated me to tea eggs..."

"Just because I treated you to tea eggs? You think I'm your good friend?" Hua Lichu was dumbfounded.

Zhang Xinran pecking at rice like a chick: "That's right!"

Seeing Hua Lichu's strange expression, Zhang Xinran added, "It's not just tea eggs... My family is a dual-income family, and both my parents are busy with work, so I've always played alone..."

What about your former classmates?

"They were just after what I had, unlike you, who even gave me a tea egg!"

As she spoke, Zhang Xinran reached for her small cloth bag again, which startled Hua Lichu, who immediately stopped her.

"No! Keep your money for yourself. If I need money, I'll earn it myself."

Hua Lichu, unable to bear Zhang Xinran's disappointment, explained, "I'm short of a lot of money."

I need to earn my high school tuition and living expenses, and also earn my living expenses for my first year of college.

If I could, I'd like to build a house for Grandpa...it would require lots and lots of money.

Zhang Xinran looked directly at Hua Lichu and said sincerely, "You can definitely do it!"

If you don't want my money, then I'll help you earn it!

I also live off-campus, so I can help bring breakfast!

"All the errand fees I earned are yours!"

As for why Hua Lichu had to earn her own tuition at such a young age, it would be a lie to say that she wasn't curious.

But she knew that this might reopen old wounds for Hua Lichu.

She won't ask!

She'll listen when Hua Lichu decides to tell her herself.

Anyway, she knew that Hua Lichu was short of money, so she helped her with the work and used all the money she earned to pay for Hua Lichu's tuition!

Having made up her mind, Zhang Xinran took a big bite of the tea egg she hadn't finished earlier, squinting her eyes with satisfaction, and kicking her legs happily.

Hehe, this seems to be the first time someone has treated her to something to eat!

After returning home for lunch that day, Hua Lichu took out the "agreement" and handed it to Hua Antao.

Because of her duty week, Hua Antao was unaware of the tutoring arrangement.

Looking at the dozen or so names signed below, Hua Antao had no objections: "Okay! I'll ask around too, and if needed, we can start tomorrow morning!"

In addition, Hua Lichu also repeated what the little fat boy had said that morning about the convenience store.

Hua Antao knew her younger sister's personality; she never spoke nonsense.

He instantly understood her unspoken meaning: "Shall we go take a look later?"

Hua Yuansheng couldn't understand the sisters' sign language and sighed.

"Pears, peaches, we lost seventy cents on the tea eggs we made this morning. Should we continue tomorrow?"

The number of tea eggs is limited; whether you made a profit or a loss is immediately clear.

Although they lost 7 cents on the first day, every little bit helps, and neither of the sisters was willing to give up.

"Grandpa, it's only the first day, don't be in such a hurry! Business is all about patience and perseverance. Let's just wait and see."

Hua Yuansheng thought about it and agreed: "Okay, let's make 20 braised eggs tomorrow."

Since I've already decided to stick with this business, why don't I just buy a lot of eggs at once? Maybe I can negotiate a better price with the owner.

Hua Yuansheng sighed, "If I had known we'd need so many eggs, I would have collected them from the village..."

However, the most urgent task is to set up the ring toss stall at night.

That's right, Hua Li Chu Zu San has decided to return to his old business starting tonight and set up a ring toss stall at the government square.

After finishing their classes that afternoon, the Hua Li sisters hurriedly went home.

However, unlike usual, it was followed by two little tails.

"Grandpa, these are our deskmates. They came to help us because they were worried we wouldn't be able to handle everything."

Zhang Xinran and An Yining greeted each other with smiles.

"Hello Grandpa, I'm Zhang Xinran. My parents are both working the afternoon shift today and won't get off work until 10 o'clock. I didn't want to stay home alone, so I came to bother you."

"Hello Grandpa, I'm An Yining. Hehe, I'm just curious and came along to take a look..."

Hua Yuansheng chuckled and said, "Good, good, good! All good."

After setting up a stall during the summer vacation, the three generations of the family had already mastered the entire process of ring toss.

The only difference is that the location has changed.

At that time, there were few entertainment options, so when something novel and interesting came along, the stall was soon surrounded by a huge crowd.

Although the three generations of the family were a little uneasy, they remained calm.

Zhang Xinran and An Yining, who were seeing this for the first time, both stared wide-eyed, looking completely stunned.

Especially when everyone is gathered around, but no one steps forward.

Zhang Xinran became anxious.

His eyes darted around twice, then he pulled out a small cloth bag and called out, "Ten circles for one yuan? Give me one yuan's worth!"

Hua Lichu didn't stop her, and said with a smile, "Alright! Ten rings, here you go!"

Everything inside the set is free! How much you take home depends on your skill!

An Yining panicked when she saw this.

This game looks so fun, she wants to play it too!

He quickly pulled a dollar from his pocket and stuffed it into Hua Antao's hand: "Give me ten laps too!"

It's true that these two girls wanted to fill in, but they also genuinely wanted to have fun.

And tonight's excitement officially begins here.

Especially after seeing Hua Lichu actually give Zhang Xinran the small mirror she had won for free, the guests who were still watching couldn't sit still anymore.

Before 10 p.m., when evening self-study ended, Hua Lichu had already run out of everything she had prepared.

The hearts of the three generations, who had been hanging in suspense, finally settled.

You can set up a ring toss stall even in the city!

"Xinran, Yining, this is your money!"

Hua Lichu wanted to return the money the two had spent on the ring toss game, but the two refused vehemently.

"I won the mirror and the comb! If you give me back my money, won't I have to give them back to you? I don't want them!"

"I don't want it either."

Just then, a bus arrived at the station, and the two of them grabbed their schoolbags and ran quickly onto the bus.

"See you tomorrow!"

"See you tomorrow!"

The three generations of the family did not rush back to their rented house. Instead, they found a spot and squatted down.

He only got up after all the students from the city's high school who had finished their evening self-study session had left.

“I feel that just setting up a ring toss stall is a bit of a waste!” Hua Lichu said.

Hua Antao agreed: "I think so too! We can sell some food or something. After a whole night of classes, everyone must be starving!"

Hua Yuansheng felt that his two granddaughters made sense.

but,

What would be a suitable product to sell?

Hua Lichu observed for several days: "There are also vendors near the school gate. If we're going to sell something, it has to be something different from theirs, but with a strong aroma and good taste!"

Hua Antao rubbed her head: "Anyway, I can't figure it out for a while. How about we go home first?"

As for why I'm going home?

Of course, it's about counting money!
