During the summer holiday, some students
might have been busy with travelling, summer camps and all kinds of courses, but
a specia1 group of Chinese middle school students decided to taste the hardship
of life outside school.
Twelve students in a big city sold
vegetables at a local market together. Within 12 days, they made more than 1, 500
yuan. Among them, the oldest is 21 years old, while the youngest is just 10. They
are all cousins in a big family and eight of them are from rura1(农村的) areas.
"Compared to travelling, such
social practice connects us and makes us learn how tough our parents are,"
said Dalin, 18, to the City Morning Post. Dalin, a senior high graduate, and
her 12-year-old brother Xiaolin came up with the idea.
They learned to work hard to sell
their vegetables. Every morning they had to wake up at 3 o'c1ock. Some of them
went to the farmer's market to buy vegetables. Some of them went to the local
market to take up a temporary stall (临时摊位). To 1ower the
cost, they learned to bargain (讲价) with the sellers.
At about 6:30 am, they began to sell
vegetables. They peddled (吆喝) 1oudly to attract (吸引) customers. After severa1 days, they got some experience too. For
example, it was better to put vegetables in order and bigger ones on top. When
the vegetables are too heavy, they should give customers an extra plastic bag.
When they finally packed up and went
home, they had a small meeting. Everyone took notes and shared their feelings.
"We are tired," said Dalin. "But we gained a lot."
