Seeing that Erlaizi had disappeared from sight, Aunt Wang simply stopped chasing him. When she got home, she found that the chives were growing too slowly and she couldn't harvest this crop.
After thinking for a moment, Aunt Wang packed two bags of dried apples that she had secretly dried in the autumn and put them in a basket.
This was also made by Aunt Wang. Don't underestimate these ordinary mountain apples that aren't worth much money; drying them into dried fruit takes a lot of time and effort.
To achieve the desired sweet, sour, soft, and chewy texture of dried apples, instead of making them hard and tasteless, they need to be steamed and sun-dried three times.
Moreover, the heat must be controlled each time it is steamed, otherwise it will not take shape if it is overcooked.
It just so happens to be harvest time for drying apples. Aunt Wang's dried apples were made by her family at night and were secretly dried on the roof of their house.
Just for these apples, the three members of our family are more tired than other families.
The whole family went through all this trouble and effort, not for their own enjoyment. It was for the New Year, to sell something special along with the chives.
Well-off families in the city like to have some unusual things during the New Year. Aunt Wang's dried apples are really not cheap!
However, Aunt Wang had no regrets about giving the basket to Master Zhong, and she took the basket and went to Zhong Wanwan's house.
Because of the daily commute, Zhong Wanwan was exhausted every day. After returning home, she would eat the late-night snack left by Zhong Songbai and then prepare to go to sleep.
She eats late-night snacks and sleeps every day, and Zhong Wanwan has lost weight in the past few days, which shows how hard she has worked.
Zhong Wanwan had already lain down when she heard Aunt Wang knocking on the door. She quickly put on her clothes and got up.
Zhong Songbai came out faster than Zhong Wanwan; he went to open the door as soon as he heard the noise.
As soon as Aunt Wang entered the house, she said very embarrassedly:
"Master Zhong, I've come to apologize to you. That good-for-nothing Er Laizi, I knew he was unreliable. I'll catch him later and crack his lazybones!"
"He's really made a fool of himself in the food factory! He's got some serious skills!"
Aunt Wang's words were squeezed out through gritted teeth, not only out of anger but also out of shame. Having a son like this was worse than having a baby.
At least the father is good for fertilizing the land; what can he do? He'll only embarrass himself!
Zhong Wanwan was a little confused, not knowing what Aunt Wang meant by that. She had been secretly sighing about it with Zhong Songbai and Xiaobaiyang these past two days!
Wang Erlaizi's talent is such a waste.
Although she doesn't have the drawing skills of Xiaobaiyang, her memory is so good that she can remember the parts as soon as she finishes speaking, which is quite remarkable!
Why did Aunt Wang say he was shameful? Is liking to learn car repair shameful? She just doesn't understand!
Zhong Wanwan touched her head and asked:
"Aunt Wang, what do you mean by that? I don't quite understand."
Aunt Wang thought Zhong Wanwan was saving face for her, and was quite grateful. She held Zhong Wanwan's hand and said:
"Master Zhong, you're just too kind. You're still keeping this scoundrel in the dark. I know everything!"
“Zhang Liuzhi, who also went to help, was hired to do loading and unloading for several months. Why wasn’t my good-for-nothing chosen? I know him well, he must have been slacking off!”
“Zhang Liuzhi actively sought out work, while this good-for-nothing just stands there like a log, sleeping?”
"I shouldn't have trusted that bastard. I should have had your grandpa come along and lend a hand. Your grandpa is much more diligent than him. I don't know who this bastard takes after. How come he's so lazy!"
Grandpa Wang is a hardworking old man who works diligently and rarely speaks more than a few words a day. Grandma Wang is also a busy and hardworking person who lives life to the fullest.
As a result, he had a son, Wang Erlaizi, whose mouth was like a broken-down cart, always chattering away, never idle.
But when the body is lazy, it's as if it wants to be idle all the time, which is quite amazing.
If this little brat didn't look just like Grandpa Wang, Grandma Wang would have suspected that the midwife had switched the baby.
Even so, Aunt Wang would often grumble to Uncle Wang that maybe the baby was snatched away by some scoundrel during the birthing ceremony, which is why the child was in such a terrible state!
Zhong Wanwan then realized why Aunt Wang had come. She hesitated, unsure whether she should tell her about Wang Erlaizi's talent.
On second thought, it's a good thing that Wang Erlaizi has this talent. Even though he doesn't have the chance to work at the repair shop, what he learns is still worthwhile!
Zhong Wanwan explained on behalf of Wang Erlaizi:
"Aunt Wang, you've really misunderstood Wang Erlaizi. He really didn't slack off at the food factory; he's been a huge help to me!"
Aunt Wang couldn't pass:
"Him? He's offering to help? He'll only make things worse!"
Zhong Wanwan explained in detail:
"Wang Erlaizi handed me the tools more promptly than my three apprentices plus Xiao Youliang."
"He memorized the location of all the parts I explained when I was repairing his car after hearing it only twice. That's really amazing!"
Aunt Wang didn't feel that it was that impressive. Wang Erlaizi was lazy, but he had heard things since he was a child and could remember them almost perfectly after hearing them only once. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to spread the gossip so clearly.
Even if someone has the intention, they might not remember what they said.
Wang Erlaizi not only remembers, but he can also act it out for people, with expressions, which is why he has such a bad reputation in the surrounding villages.
When the old lady and her daughter-in-law got into a fight, the two brothers from the Wang family fought and wanted to divide the family property, and the old lady from the Qian family was flirting with the uncle next door, all of these were things that Wang Erlaizi tirelessly helped spread.
People like that are just so annoying!
So Aunt Wang really didn't think that it was a big deal to remember something after hearing it twice. She even suspected that Wang Erlaizi only remembered it after hearing it twice because he was too lazy to remember it. Otherwise, he could have easily remembered it after just one listen!
Aunt Wang said whatever came to mind, and asked in confusion:
"What's so special about memorizing it after two takes? If someone were to get into a fight, he could act out the whole argument in just one take!"
Zhong Wanwan had indeed met a person with an extraordinary memory. Without further ado, she decided to let Aunt Wang witness it firsthand, otherwise she would never know how amazing this was.
Zhong Wanwan led Granny Wang into her tool shed next door. Without saying a word, she explained the commonly used parts to Granny Wang three times, and then asked Granny Wang:
"Aunt Wang, repeat the parts I just mentioned, and then find them for me!"
Aunt Wang was completely dumbfounded!
