"Brother Long, we made a lot of money today," Hu Yuying, sitting in the back of the tricycle, said excitedly.
It was the first time in her life that she had earned so much money that her hands were tired from counting it. For a little money-lover like Hu Yuying, this feeling was truly wonderful.
She couldn't help but hum a little tune.
Listening to the sound of Hu Yuying humming, it wasn't hard to imagine just how happy the girl was at the moment.
As long as a person is easily content, they will surely be very happy.
"This is just the beginning. We'll only get better from here," Long Aotian replied.
"Brother Long, are we coming back here tomorrow?"
"Yes, we'll come back tomorrow, and the day after too. As for the day after that, we'll see how things go."
This was how mobile street vending worked. You wouldn't stay in one place for more than three days unless the profits remained consistently good.
Otherwise, it was best to move to a new location after three days.
Based on today's earnings, tomorrow and the day after should also be pretty good. They'd decide after that.
As they spoke, the two had already arrived at the place Hu Yuying rented.
As soon as they got home, the first thing Hu Yuying did was lock the door. Then, she excitedly pulled Long Aotian into the living room.
She dug into her pockets and placed all the money they had earned that day on the sofa.
The small bills quickly covered a corner of the sofa.
Some of the money had been neatly arranged by Hu Yuying during lunch, while the rest, which she hadn't had time to organize, was stuffed into her pockets.
"Tomorrow, I'm bringing a small bag to carry all this money," Hu Yuying said, squatting beside the sofa, carefully smoothing out the wrinkled bills and organizing them.
She grouped the twenties together.
The tens together.
The fifties and hundreds were all placed together.
In total, they had earned 3,275 yuan.
Hu Yuying smiled brightly. They had already made back their initial investment in just one day. Everything they sold from now on would be pure profit. "Brother Long, you're amazing," she said.
Before truly stepping into society, earning so much money in a single day was something Hu Yuying could never have imagined. How could it not be amazing?
Not just for Hu Yuying, but even for an adult, this would be astonishing.
Especially when the average salary nowadays was only around 2,000 to 3,500 yuan. Earning over 3,500 yuan was already considered a high income. Making over 3,000 yuan in a single day, more than what many people earned in a month of hard work, was nothing short of incredible.
"Look at you, so easily satisfied. When you go to university and use the knowledge you gain to work or start a business, you'll definitely do even better than this. By then, you might not even care about this little bit of money," Long Aotian said.
Hu Yuying shook her head. "No way," she replied. She was, after all, a little money-lover.
She handed the neatly organized money to Long Aotian. Even though she loved money, she knew that this money should still go to Brother Long.
She only wanted the money that was truly hers.
Long Aotian took the money, counted out 1,158 yuan, and handed it to Hu Yuying.
He kept 1,842 yuan for himself.
The remaining money was split evenly between them, even though it was only about 130 yuan. But this was just the first day.
Looking at the red bills in front of her, Hu Yuying felt a little dazed.
She had only earned 28 yuan from her part-time job in the morning. Even if she worked all day, she would barely make 50 or 60 yuan. Wasn't this too much?
After all, she hadn't done much. Long Aotian had carried all the goods, and the tricycle, sunshade, and loudspeaker were all his.
All she had done was collect the money. This...
"This is the result of our joint effort. It's what you deserve. Don't feel bad about it," Long Aotian said.
"Stop overthinking it. Take your share and go make something delicious for me," he added.
"Okay," Hu Yuying nodded, putting her money into her little treasure chest before obediently heading to the kitchen to cook for Long Aotian.
Brother Long was so good to her. She felt an indescribable sense of gratitude and almost wanted to cry.
"Don't you dare cry. If you cry, I'll hit you," Long Aotian teased.
Hu Yuying was stunned. "Brother Long, how did you know what I was thinking?"
"Because you're kind-hearted," he replied.
Hu Yuying paused. "Brother Long, you're the person who treats me the best, aside from my parents and grandparents." After saying this, she didn't dare to look Long Aotian in the eye and quickly went into the kitchen to cook.
After dinner, as she watched Long Aotian leave, Hu Yuying felt an indescribable emotion, a faint sense of loss.
It wasn't like before, when she used to feel happy seeing him leave...
She used to be happy, but now she wasn't as happy anymore...

"Quan, you don't need to say anything. Right now, I just want to drown my sorrows alone!"
Ye Liangchen swayed the beer in his hand, his voice slightly hoarse.
The college entrance exams were over, and his heart had already turned cold.
He hadn't been able to answer a single question. Now, he was filled with a faint sadness, and only alcohol could temporarily soothe his mood.
"Brother Chen, stop drinking. Guess who I ran into today?" Gao Quan said with a hint of pride.
"I don't think I'll ever fall for anyone again. No matter who you met, it won't shake this weathered heart of mine," Ye Liangchen said with a faint smile, downing the beer in his hand.
"I ran into Li Qingxue. Guess where I saw her?"
"Hah, a heartless woman. I gave up studying for her, and what did she do? Hah, she'll regret it someday," Ye Liangchen said coldly.
Gao Quan suddenly felt it was pointless and started eating the skewers in front of him.
Ye Liangchen waited for a while but didn't hear Gao Quan continue, so he glanced at him. "Where did you see her?"
"At Shuiwan Riverside," Gao Quan said casually.
The next second, the sound of a glass shattering on the ground echoed.
Ye Liangchen was stunned, seemingly unaware that the glass in his hand had fallen.
"Shuiwan Riverside?" he muttered to himself, then laughed. Ye Liangchen laughed, truly laughed.
"So that's how it is, so that's how it is!"
Shuiwan Riverside was the only way to his house.
Li Qingxue lived on the other side. Unless she wanted to see him, Ye Liangchen couldn't think of any other reason for her to be at Shuiwan Riverside.
After all, going out of her way wasn't something Li Qingxue would do. Ye Liangchen was sure of this after knowing her for nine years.
"She wanted to see me but didn't know how to approach me, so she waited by the riverside, hoping for a chance encounter. Li Qingxue, Li Qingxue, why did it have to come to this?"
With that thought, Ye Liangchen took a deep breath and slowly stood up. "Quan, take your time eating. I'm leaving first."
His heart stirred slightly. He couldn't say he was happy, but this was all within his expectations...
