Lin Anshu is an ordinary, lowly office worker. The competition in the company is intense, and the boss loves to fine employees and make empty promises. After working diligently for a whole year, sh...
After Lin's father drove his tricycle out the door and stopped, Lin Anshu got on the vehicle.
The tricycle was small and had no seats available.
But... none of that matters.
The amount of wild vegetables they were going to sell wasn't actually that much; it only took up a small portion of the space on the tricycle.
As for the other empty spaces, small stools were placed there.
Lin Anshu was sitting on a small stool.
Perhaps worried that Lin Anshu would be uncomfortable sitting there, Lin's father put a small stool with a backrest on the tricycle.
In that case, sitting would indeed be more comfortable.
Just as they started the tricycle, Lin's father and Lin Anshu heard Xu Yi's shout.
"Uncle Lin, Sister An Shu, where are you going?"
As the question was being asked, Xu Yi had already jogged over.
His neat black hair grew obediently on his head, and his dark eyes held a clear and pure curiosity.
"Oh, it's Xiaoyi. Have you eaten yet?"
"An'an and I are planning to go to the county town."
Mr. Lin has a good personality and speaks to people in a gentle and mild manner.
"I've had lunch, but not dinner yet, but I'm not hungry."
"Uncle Lin, Sister Anshu, I also want to go to the county town. Can you take me with you?"
Seeing Xu Yi's pitiful yet expectant expression, Lin's father hesitated for a moment.
At the crucial moment, Liu Meiling appeared and stopped Xu Yi.
"Yiyi, your Uncle Lin and Sister Anshu have things to do in the county town, so don't go and cause trouble, okay!"
"No, no, Yiyi is a good girl, she won't cause trouble."
"Yiyi will be obedient and will also help Sister Anshu!"
Xu Yi shook her head repeatedly, even clinging to the back of the tricycle with both hands.
"Xu Yi, since you said you would be obedient, why don't you listen to what your mother says?" Liu Meiling pretended to be angry.
"But... fine then." Xu Yi pouted and sadly let go of her hands.
But he really liked Sister Anshu, his older sister.
He just wanted to stay by An Shu's side; if she was busy, he could help her.
“Aunt Liu, if you have nothing to do at home, you can let Xu Yi come with us to the county town.”
"Perfect timing, you can take a look and see if there's anything you need to buy for your home?"
"If Xu Yi comes with us, she can help you buy things."
Seeing Xu Yi's drooping head and dim eyes, looking like a pitiful big wolfhound, Lin Anshu couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.
What kind of bad intentions could a four-year-old brother possibly have?
He was just bored and wanted to find something to do.
Fortunately, he's obedient and sensible, so let's just let him take it.
Anyway, there are still seats available on the tricycle.
"Really? Hehehe, Mom, look, even Sister Anshu has agreed."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yi's eyes immediately lit up with intense surprise.
"An Shu, will this... disturb you?"
"No, Aunt Liu. Xu Yi is very well-behaved and obedient; she won't cause trouble."
"Yes, Mom, I'm very good and obedient, and I don't cause trouble," Xu Yi quickly assured her.
"Brother Lin, look at this..." Liu Meiling looked at Lin's father shyly.
"Go ahead, it's no big deal!"
"Then I'll have to trouble you to take care of Xu Yi," Liu Meiling said.
"Hehe, Mom, I'm going home to get a stool now."
Xu Yi ran home.
Soon, she came back, carrying a small cat stool.
After quickly getting into the car, Xu Yi obediently sat on a small stool and waved to Liu Meiling.
"Mom, you should go back now. Yiyi will be back soon!"
"Brother Lin, An'an, thank you for your help!"
"You're too kind."
The tricycle traveled for about half an hour before arriving in the county town.
Mr. Lin parked his tricycle not far from the entrance of the largest vegetable market in the county town.
He even put out the cardboard signs he had written in advance.
The signboard read: "Wild vegetables, 20 yuan a bunch" in large characters.
Mr. Lin used to study fine arts and also has a certain level of skill in calligraphy.
He would even personally carve words and seals on jade with a small carving knife.
The characters on the cardboard are in the clerical script, which looks neat and orderly.
"Sister Anshu, are we going to sell wild vegetables?" Xu Yi asked excitedly.
"Yes, that's right." Lin Anshu nodded.
"Then I'll call for help!"
After Xu Yi finished speaking, he made a megaphone shape with his hands and began to shout loudly.
"Wild vegetables for sale! Wild vegetables for sale! Twenty yuan a bunch."
"For twenty yuan, you won't lose out or be cheated, and you can buy a bunch of delicious wild vegetables."
"It's so delicious, so incredibly delicious, it could make you die from how good it is!"
"..." Hearing this, the somewhat shy Mr. Lin couldn't help but glance at Lin Anshu.
Lin Anshu was quite surprised too.
"Xu Yi, where did you learn these words?" Lin Anshu asked.
"It's right on the main street in the village."
“Those people came to our village in tuk-tuks to sell sugarcane. That’s what I heard them shout, but I changed it a little.”
"What's wrong, Sister Anshu? Did I call you the wrong way?" Xu Yi immediately looked nervous.
"No, you shouted it very well."
"Really? Hehe!"
After chuckling, Xu Yi's voice grew louder and more emotional.
Perhaps it was because Xu Yi's voice was too noisy, or perhaps the wild vegetables on the tricycle looked quite good.
