Chapter 187 Popsicle (1)
When she got closer, she found that he was crying silently while watching the ewe with her lamb grazing. Then she realized that her little brother was also so sad.
Ruan Jiaojiao did not go up to comfort him. She did not know what to comfort him with. She thought that perhaps time was the best medicine to dilute all the damage.
----
Two months passed in a flash.
The weather in April was still a little refreshing, but the weather in June officially began to be scorching.
Ruan Jiaojiao could not stand the heat. She lay on the rocking chair in a listless state and felt drowsy early in the morning. Ruan Lin went to the village entrance to look at the house. The closer the house was to completion, the more excited she became. She would go back and forth to look at it countless times every day.
Xu Xu also went out early in the morning.
He was a good hunter and would bring back some prey every now and then, but the Ruan family never coveted his things and exchanged all of them for money according to his ideas. Xu
Xu did not put away the money after taking it. Except for a part of it he used to ask Ruan Jiaojiao's three older brothers who were studying in the town to buy candies and delicious food for Ruan Jiaojiao, he gave all the rest to Ruan Jiaojiao.
Ruan Jiaojiao made a rough count yesterday and found that it was almost a hundred yuan.
She was secretly shocked. This little villain can really make money. You know, even Ruan Jianguo, who used to work in the factory, only made more than thirty yuan a month, which was still much better than most people's income.
Generally, a hundred yuan is basically the income of a family for most of the year.
And he made so much in two months.
Ruan Linshi and Ruan Jianguo were also shocked at first, but when they thought about how he could bring Ruan Jiaojiao back from the front mountain, it was not a big deal for him to have such a little ability.
Ruan Jiaojiao would occasionally do some things, but she didn't dare to kill wild boars like before, because it would attract too much attention. She only occasionally killed some small prey to improve the lives of the Ruan family.
So in the past two months, the Ruan family could eat meat almost every day, and everyone became plump at a speed visible to the naked eye, led by the little fat boy, who was originally fat, but now he was so fat that he had to breathe when walking.
Xu Xu also became a lot plumper and more handsome than before. Many times, Ruan Jiaojiao couldn't help but stare at him, and the longer they were together, the more she could feel a familiar aura from him, but she couldn't remember it no matter how hard she tried.
"Oh." Ruan Jiaojiao sighed. The hot weather made her feel bad. She turned over in the rocking chair and continued to stare at one place in a daze.
There were footsteps outside. There was
also a voice calling for sale.
"I'm selling popsicles. Red bean ones, green bean ones, and everything else. Two for a dime. Come and buy them." The voice was long and loud, accompanied by the sound of bicycle bells.
"I'm selling popsicles. Give me two." It was Ruan Lin's voice.
Ruan Jiaojiao immediately climbed up from the rocking chair and ran to the door to see. Sure enough, she saw Ruan Lin standing in front of a bicycle. Behind the bicycle was a box wrapped in a military quilt, and white steam was coming out of it.
"Come here, Jiaojiao, and see what flavor you like." Seeing Ruan Jiaojiao coming out, Ruan Lin immediately called out.
"Grandma, what is this?" Ruan Jiaojiao curiously stood on tiptoe to look inside the box, but unfortunately her height did not allow it, so she could only jump to look inside.
Ruan Lin smiled and picked her up: "Did you forget? These are the popsicles you only ate last year, quickly choose one, where is Xiaoxu? Why didn't you see it?"
