"Then go back to school! Come and find me if you have any problems!" Tian Lijuan collected the wild vegetables and said to Tian Tian.
"Tian Tian, wait a moment. Aunt Xiao also has something for you!"
Seeing Tian Tian was about to leave, Xiao Li immediately called Tian Tian to stop, rummaged under the counter, took out a big red, round apple, and stuffed it into Tian Tian's hand.
"Here is this apple. My son brought it back for me from another place. He said it's from the south and tastes very sweet. Take it home and eat it. I left it specially for you."
When Tian Tian saw the big red apple, she swallowed her saliva. The apple looked really tempting, and she could also smell a rich apple aroma. As soon as she smelled it, she thought the apple was particularly delicious.
It’s not like Tian Tian hasn’t eaten apples before since she came here, but the apples she ate were all picked from the mountains. Although they tasted good, they were very bad. They were all green apples with strange shapes, and they had some small bumps on them. They were rough and there were very few apples with regular shapes.
Not only were there no apples on the mountain, even the supply and marketing cooperatives didn’t have apples that big. It was the first time that Tian Lijuan had seen such good apples.
"Why is your apple so red? Where did it come from? This is the first time I've seen an apple of such good quality!" Tian Lijuan also liked this apple.
"Isn't my son a truck driver? He brought it here from another place. If you want to eat it, I'll ask him to bring some back next time!" Xiao Li said enthusiastically.
"Then there's no need for that. We know that no one in my family likes to eat apples. I bought ten of them last winter, but no one has eaten them since I got them home. It's a shame to send such good apples to my home, and it's a waste of my money. I won't buy them." Tian Lijuan said.
Tian Tian's eyes lit up, she didn't expect that Aunt Xiao's son was actually a truck driver. Nowadays, driving a truck is a good job and it is considered a technical job. The salary is very high, and you can travel all over the country and make a lot of money. You can make more than 40 yuan a month, almost 50 yuan.
Moreover, there are many loopholes in the job of driving a truck, and you can engage in some speculative activities in secret. As long as you are careful, it will be difficult to be discovered by others.
For those who travel all over the country and sell local specialties and features to other places, it is indeed a good job that can make money.
However, Tian Tian is not very familiar with Xiao Li now, and it is impossible for her to suddenly tell Xiao Li that she wants to cooperate with her son. It would be strange if she is not arrested for speculation.
Although Tian Tian had this idea, this kind of thing was still very far away from her. Moreover, she was an ordinary farm girl with the only advantage of being born into a good family. She had no money and nothing. Only a fool would take such a big risk to cooperate with her.
"Thank you, Aunt Xiao!" Tian Tian said with a smile. She could see that Aunt Xiao was a straightforward person. If she recommended this apple to Aunt Xiao, she would definitely feel uncomfortable.
After saying goodbye to Aunt Xiao and Tian Lijuan, Tian Tian returned to school with her luggage.
She came back quite late this time because she wanted to help Old Mrs. Tian with some work at home, so she took the bus here in the afternoon. Everyone else in the dormitory had already packed up.
Tian Tian cleaned the dormitory as quickly as possible. They had not been back for half a month, and the room was covered with dust. It was even a bit choking when she made the quilt.
By the time Tian Tian finished cleaning up, it was already evening. They went to the cafeteria together to get food and asked Tian Tian if she wanted to go.
Tian Tian got an apple today and planned to eat it in the evening, so she refused their request to go to the cafeteria with them and asked Li Wenxiu to bring her a pot of hot water.
As a result, this apple is only good-looking but not practical. It smells fragrant on the outside, but its taste does not live up to its fragrance.
Although the apple was indeed sweet, Tian Tian did not like this kind of purely sweet fruit, and the apple was too big. After eating half of it, Tian Tian could not eat any more because her stomach was too full, so she put the apple aside.
When they came back, they were also surprised to see the apples on the table. Although half of the apples were eaten, they could tell how good the apples originally looked from the remaining half.
"Why do you still have an apple left? Why don't you give it to her quickly? Look, it's all black on top. It won't taste good." Liang Rong said, pointing at the apple.
Now the bitten part of the apple has turned slightly black and oxidized.
"That apple is too big. I can't eat it all by myself. I'll save it for tomorrow morning!" Tian Tian had no intention of giving the apple to them. She had already bitten the apple, and it would be disgusting to share it with them.
"I feel full after eating half an apple, so how big must the apple be?" Ma Shuhua murmured to herself.
"Where did you buy this apple? I have never seen such a big apple. My mother only buys small apples in winter with very thick skin. I always feel sick after eating the skin." Li Wenxiu said.
"The apples were given to me by my aunt. Her son drives a truck. He saw these delicious apples somewhere else and bought a few. My aunt gave me one. It was the first time I ate them," said Tian Tian.
"It's just an apple, no big deal." Zheng Mingyue said.
Ever since she lost something last time, Zheng Mingyue has been looking down on everyone. She is not targeting any one of them, but is treating everyone equally. If someone says something, she will subconsciously retort. She has quarreled with Liang Rong many times.
And for some unknown reason, from then on Zheng Mingyue started living in their dormitory permanently, eating in the cafeteria with them every day. She no longer waited to come back on the morning of the first day of school, but would bring her luggage back to the dormitory one or two days in advance and lay it out, and she would not go home on Saturdays and Sundays.
"Your family is rich, so it must be very easy for you to eat this apple. But my family is poor, and I may not be able to eat any fruit all year round. This apple is very rare for a poor person like me," said Tian Tian.
Zheng Mingyue never expected that Tian Tian would refute her. She was stunned for a moment. Tian Tian was usually a good person in the dormitory. She walked with Liang Rong, Li Wenxiu and the other two all day long. She rarely had conflicts and frictions with others. When encountering problems, she would talk about them with a smile and rarely lost her temper.
