The next week, my mum gave me some 7 to buy some wax (蜡) to make more candles. They were sold out quickly, too. Nine months later, we decided to stop 8 flowers. My mum and I couldn't make enough candles during the week, so some of my school friends started to help us, I 9 them one pound for every candle, and we sold them for much more money. It was 10 and my friends worked with me happily.
When I was 22, my uncle lent me some money and I opened my first shop.
