Xu Qingzhi was preparing to go home with a bamboo basket full of beans on his back, and Wen Shanshan took the initiative to carry the other half of the basket.
Wen Shanshan was not a person who acted on her own, so she said as she walked, "Qingzhi, then I'll charge you 1,500 per bottle, is that ok?"
Xu Qingzhi laughed out loud. She was told to set the price, but the silly girl didn't know how to take advantage. She reached out and rubbed Wen Shanshan's head, saying helplessly, "It doesn't need to be so much. Let's calculate it at 200 per bottle."
Jiang Xiao came back from weeding the fields in the back mountain. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked casually, "What's two hundred a bottle?"
Wen Shanshan saw that his pants were covered in mud. Considering how hard he worked for Qingzhi today, she answered, "It's a lavender essential oil for sleep, made by Qingzhi himself. I sent it to my dad, and he said it was very effective and wanted to buy some."
She thought that Jiang Xiao's family ran a boutique supermarket and should know the most appropriate price for essential oils.
She said, "Jiang Xiao, what is the normal price for this kind of essential oil? I said fifteen hundred, Qingzhi said two hundred, and I think two hundred is too cheap."
"Generally, the expensive ones do cost several thousand, while the cheap ones may cost less than a hundred." Jiang Xiao said truthfully.
He only knew that Xu's food was delicious, but he didn't expect that they also had useful lavender essential oil. He himself had severe insomnia in Kyoto before, and his sleep improved after living in the village for a few days.
Since it is a good thing, it is also good to buy some for yourself. You can use it yourself when you return to Kyoto, or give it to others as a gift.
He asked, "Qingzhi, do you have any more? At 200 yuan a bottle, I want to order 1,000 bottles. Can I pay you a deposit?"
Wen Shanshan's face changed and she punched Jiang Xiao, "Okay, you're trying to steal my things."
Jiang Xiao didn't even try to dodge. The little girl didn't have much strength, so her punch was like a tickle. Seeing that she didn't respond, he continued to increase the stakes, "Qingzhi, I can pay the full amount."
"Out of stock." Xu Qingzhi shook his head and continued walking home.
Jiang Xiao chased after him and said, "You can give it to me slowly from behind."
"One thousand bottles? Why don't you ask for ten thousand bottles? I think you want to tire my Qingzhi to death. I'm going to beat you to death, you bad guy." Wen Shanshan grabbed Jiang Xiao's arm and beat him.
Jiang Xiao: "I actually want 10,000 bottles. As long as this stuff works, 200 yuan a bottle is a great deal."
"You're dreaming! You're just thinking about taking advantage of Qing Zhi. Look at me, I'm going to scratch you to death with my Nine Yin White Bone Claw!"
The two of them walked back laughing and joking.
Wang Yanmei stood at the door with a meaningful smile on her face, "These two have a good relationship."
Xu Qingzhi knew what her mother meant by her gossipy tone, so she put down the backpack, glanced at Wen Siran who was sitting under the persimmon tree, and reminded her, "Mom, don't talk nonsense. Shanshan is still at school age."
"Oh, I'm the one who said too much." Wang Yanmei stared at her daughter and suddenly remembered, "Oh, that guy who was planting pumpkins in Bajia Village yesterday, how did you feel when you saw him?"
Xu Qingzhi: “…”
My goodness, it seems that my parents are not busy enough.
She said hard words several times but it was useless. She directly used her superb acting skills, looked at her mother with affectionate eyes, and asked solemnly: "Mom, do you really want to push me out as soon as possible? I am so sad and upset. I think my mother must... don't love me anymore, so she doesn't want me to stay at home. My mother must think I am an eyesore and think I..."
Wang Yanmei interrupted her daughter as soon as she saw her pitiful expression. She said, "Okay, okay, get married whenever you want. Mom doesn't care about you anymore. I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go make lunch. Your dad is leading people to pick bayberries in the back mountain. I'll talk to a few people about picking bayberries this afternoon."
"Okay." Xu Qingzhi responded.
Here, Jiang Xiao and Wen Shanshan also came over noisily.
Wen Shanshan went aside and put down the backpack.
While no one was around, Jiang Xiao asked in a low voice, "Qingzhi, is a hundred bottles okay?"
"No." Xu Qingzhi shook his head.
"Then... ten bottles!"
Xu Qingzhi still shook his head.
The other party's refusal was so obvious, Jiang Xiao had no choice but to give up, "Okay then."
Xu Qingzhi walked under the persimmon tree and lay on his recliner.
Wen Shanshan ran over, looked at the crow, and praised: "Zhaocai is so good."
When the crow heard this, it wondered why this woman kept praising it. It must be because it was too good. Alas...
I felt a little proud and arrogant in my heart.
"Qingzhi, can I touch it this time?" Wen Shanshan did not forget the last time when she was bullied by the two little ones, so she asked first.
When the crow heard this, it thought that this woman really loved it and always wanted to touch it.
"Gaga gaga gaga~" Master, let her touch me. This crow is too charming, there is really nothing I can do.
Xu Qingzhi curled his lips and said to Wen Shanshan: "You can touch it."
Wen Shanshan carefully touched the crow's little head with her index finger. The fur was so soft.
Crow closed his eyes comfortably and lay flat in Xu Qingzhi's palm.
Wen Shanshan's heart was instantly melted.
"It's so cute to attract money."
Especially the small bald spot on the top of its head with a few standing hairs makes it even more adorable, and the little hairs tremble as it moves.
At this time, the white cat ran over and rubbed Wen Shanshan's feet.
Wen Shanshan was surprised and delighted. She took back her hands, held the white cat and sat beside it to rub it. "Yuanbao, rub it so well. It's so chubby and its fur is so soft."
The crow opened its eyes instantly, stood up, looked at the woman who had fallen in love with someone else and was hugging the big cat, and made an angry "Ga~" sound.
Unfaithful woman! Xu Qingzhi had been with the two little ones for a long time, and could predict what the crow would do next. He caught its wings in advance and sent a message with his spiritual sense: "If you go over and fight, you will hurt others. Be good and don't make trouble."
The crow hummed in grievance, turned over and lay in the palm of its owner, with its back to the white cat, but its mouth was chattering with joy.
That’s great, no one is competing with me for the master position.
The innocent white cat was being rubbed very comfortably by Wen Shanshan. His eyes narrowed comfortably and his whole body lay naturally in the woman's arms.
Jiang Xiao also likes cats. As soon as he stretched out his hand, the white cat opened its eyes instantly, stared at him with its round eyes, and meowed fiercely.
"Hey, how come this cat can recognize people?" Jiang Xiao complained with a smile.
Wen Shanshan looked proud, "Of course not, Yuanbao is only allowed to be known by uncle and aunt, and I can touch it, no one else can."
Jiang Xiao: "Then you are awesome!"
Wen Siran looked at the interaction between his brother and sister, and his eyes suddenly became deep.
"Brother Xiao, how long do you plan to stay here? Isn't the hospital busy recently?"
Jiang Xiao didn't notice anything wrong with the tone, he took a breath and said comfortably: "I feel quite comfortable staying here, I don't want to leave for the time being, there is an assistant in the hospital, he can finish the work."
The food at Xu's house was so delicious that he would not be able to eat it if he left. Although he could buy vegetables, he could not buy chickens and ducks. Besides, he lived alone, so he could not eat at Xu's house. It was delicious to eat together.
Although his aunt and uncle never asked him to work and treated him to meals warmly, Jiang Xiao would still take the initiative to work, weed, pick vegetables, and eat for free so that he would feel more at ease.
"Yeah." Wen Siran responded, and then said to Wen Shanshan in the manner of a brother: "Shanshan, Mom told me that you will go back to school next semester. Remember to review your lessons in advance, so that you won't fall behind when you return to school."
Wen Shanshan was rubbing the cat, thinking that she could come to play with Qingzhi during the winter and summer vacations, so she didn't feel so sad anymore and responded happily: "Brother, I know."
Xu Qingzhi was clearly an outsider, and she felt as if she was the only one who understood what Wen Siran said.
