Eating melons

Chapter 759 Pay back the money

Rather than joining someone else's laboratory, Xiao Xuemu prefers to do experiments with Li Shiyuan.

Because Li Shiyuan came from the future, they both had learned more advanced knowledge, and many of their ideas could collide with each other, which made the feeling even more wonderful and novel.

Moreover, when being with Li Shiyuan, there is no need to hide many things and I can show my abilities more freely.

When encountering difficulties, the two can also seek Wei Wei's help together.

Find the book from Wei Wei and continue studying it together.

Therefore, since the beginning of the school year, Xiao Xuemu has usually followed Li Shiyuan in experiments. Mu Qing and Xiao Bai have many complaints about this and have complained a lot.

Li Shiyuan was also the object of envy of many people, but they did not say anything about Xiao Xuemu and Li Shiyuan's study and research.

After all, Li Shiyuan is also very talented. He is able to reach such a level at such a young age. He is also a rare genius.

As for why Xiao Xuemu likes to be with Li Shiyuan, it may be because young people's ideas are more likely to collide with each other, and geniuses have more topics to talk about.

Summer vacation came quickly, and the campus of Peking University gradually became empty. Wei Wei had already gone on vacation, but Xiao Xuemu had not.

Moreover, although he was only a freshman, Xiao Xuemu had already been recruited by Li Shiyuan to work as a laborer in the laboratory.

Mu Qing and Xiao Bai were originally planning to snatch the person away, but Li Shiyuan snatched him away first.

Ever since they got to know Xiao Xuemu's general background, he has become very popular, especially among Mu Qing and Xiao Bai.

Because he was his own son, it was easy for him to order him around, and Xiao Xuemu became a hot commodity.

It only takes a little bit of knowledge to go from being hated by everyone to being loved by everyone.

But Li Shiyuan always got there first. Thinking of this, Mu Qing and Xiao Bai were so angry that their teeth were itching.

But Xiao Xuemu was willing to run away with Li Shiyuan, and Mu Qing and Xiao Bai couldn't say anything.

Wei Wei was bored at home alone, so she didn't go back home immediately. Instead, she stayed in school to help the professor organize the materials and improve her impression of the teacher.

The professor knew Mu Qing and Xiao Bai, and he paid close attention to them.

There is also an advantage to helping the professor, that is, if there is any benefit, they will think of you as their trusted disciple.

Now Wei Wei finally understood a point: it’s not that she hates people with connections, but that she hates people with connections who are not her.

One day in mid-July, Wei Wei had just returned from the department office building when she saw a familiar figure standing at the door of Building 38 - it was Wang Guilan.

Wang Guilan was wearing a newly made floral shirt, blue pants that were ironed straight, her hair was neatly combed, she had a smile on her face, and was holding a cloth bag in her hand.

Two children followed him, both wearing clean short-sleeved shirts, holding candied haws in their hands, their eyes sparkling.

To be honest, if Wei Wei hadn't seen Wang Guilan's face every day when she was in school, she would have hardly recognized her. The change was too great.

"Vivi!"

When Wang Guilan saw Wei Wei, she hurried over to greet her, her tone full of joy.

"I heard that you didn't go back and were helping the professor organize materials at school, so I came here to pay you back and visit you."

After saying that, he took out an envelope from the cloth bag. Inside was twenty yuan, neatly tied with a rubber band.

"This is the money you lent me before. I have saved enough now and I am returning it to you. Thank you for helping me back then. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would have done."

Wei Wei took the envelope, feeling a little emotional. Twenty yuan was enough for a person's living expenses for a month.

It really didn't mean anything to her. To be honest, even though she knew Wang Guilan's life was getting better now, she still had no hope of her paying her back.

Wang Guilan, who has two children, was able to pay off her debts so quickly. Even though she should be making money from setting up a stall now, she must have suffered a lot.

Just as she was about to say "no rush", Wang Guilan took out an iron box from the cloth bag, opened it and saw that it was full of various handmade ornaments.

There are pearl hairpins, wool bracelets, butterfly brooches, and several small stuffed toys, all of which are sewn with colorful scraps of cloth, and their eyes are made of black buttons. They are particularly cute.

Even though Wei Wei has seen many kinds of exquisite small accessories, she still likes this kind of handmade doll very much.

"I made these and saved them especially for you."

Wang Guilan picked up a pearl hairpin and handed it to Wei Wei.

"Look at this. I made it according to the pattern in the magazine you gave me. I used the finest glass beads. It's more exquisite than the ones I sell at my stall. You're pretty, so it will look great on you."

Wei Wei picked up the hairpin. The beads shone softly in the sunlight, and it was obvious how much care Wang Guilan put into making it.

She looked at Wang Guilan, then at the child standing obediently beside her, and said with a smile.

"Thank you, these are really nice. How are you doing now? Is business going well?"

"It's okay!"

When talking about this, Wang Guilan's eyes lit up and her tone was full of pride.

"I now set up a stall not only at the school gate, but also at the entrance of the alley. Several people from the supply and marketing cooperatives have placed orders with me for jewelry, saying they want to sell it there.

When I was taking classes, I could earn thirty or forty yuan a month, which is more than what the average person earns!

Now I can work full time, making about ten yuan a day. I can earn quite a bit in the past two months. After a while, I can buy a smaller house so my children can have a place to do their homework."

Speaking of Wang Guilan, she feels like crying. Once she has a house, she will have a home and will no longer be afraid of being homeless.

Hearing this, Wei Wei was really happy for her, "Congratulations."

When she saw Wei Wei, Wang Guilan couldn't help but tell her a lot about her time at the stall.

For example, a girl bought her brooch and later brought several friends.

For example, she now designs her own styles instead of just following magazines.

For example, Tiedan and Yaya will now say, "Mom, let me help you set up the stall."

When talking about this, Wang Guilan's face was full of radiance. It was a kind of confidence and satisfaction gained through her own efforts. She was completely different from the timid and dependent girl before.

"Weiwei, I really thank you."

Wang Guilan repeated it with sincerity, "It's not just because you lent me the money, but also because you gave me that magazine, which gave me something to think about.

I used to think I had a miserable life and could only rely on others’ pity to survive, but after setting up a stall, I realized that I could make money and live a good life with my own hands.”

She knew everything Wei Wei had done. When her roommates ostracized her, Wei Wei was the only one who kept silent. She and Li Xiaoling were the only two who offered a helping hand.

As for the others, she had many things that were hard to describe, so I won’t comment on them in detail.

Wei Wei looked at her, not knowing what was going on in her mind. She knew that she had only done a small thing at the time, but she didn't expect it to change someone's life.

People like Wang Guilan, as long as they are given a chance, can bloom their own flowers through their own efforts.

In the afternoon, Wang Guilan insisted on inviting Wei Wei to dinner. Wei Wei couldn't resist and ate a bowl of noodles with her and her two children.

Wang Guilan patted her chest and said, "Weiwei, if you need any jewelry in the future, just tell me and I will make it for you, free of charge."

Wei Wei was quite relieved to see that Wang Guilan had really changed.

Suddenly remembering that Wang Guilan had tied the child up in the dormitory alone before, and seeing that Wang Guilan has changed a lot now and is not as fragile as before, Wei Wei asked tentatively.

"Are you still going to keep your child tied up at home while you're in class next semester?"

Wang Guilan was very helpless when talking about this. "What else can I do? I don't want to give up my studies. Although I can make money selling things on the street, I still want a formal job. It's more stable and gives me peace of mind."

Wei Wei tentatively suggested, "If you still have some extra money, you could find a daycare center.

There are also nurseries near our Peking University, especially those for faculty and staff.

You can apply to the teacher. After all, your situation is special, so your child can be placed there.

Although it costs a few dollars a month, it is much better than tying the child up at home, as the child will have a companion.

If I were short on money, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to get it."

Hearing this, Wang Guilan suddenly realized that she had been in the countryside for so long that she had forgotten about the nursery. Wang Guilan excitedly grabbed Wei Wei's hand.

"Weiwei, thank you, thank you so much. As for the money, no need, it's more than enough.

I will earn more money this summer, buy a small house, and send my child to daycare next semester."
