For the Shen family, it doesn't matter whether strawberries are in season or not, but in China, the season is indeed out of season and it is difficult to find strawberries on the market. Before this, Ji Changhe even sent people to major supermarkets to look for strawberries, but the results were extremely bad.
Most supermarkets shook their heads to indicate that they had run out of strawberries. Only two were still selling them. Ji Changhe quickly asked someone to buy some and tasted them. The strawberries were so sour that his brows were almost twisted.
Obviously, such strawberries are not good. If they are taken out like this, they will definitely be killed by the man named Shen immediately.
There was no other way. Ji Changhe's only hope could only be placed in this market. As the largest market in S City, the varieties inside were rich enough and guaranteed to be fresh. It must be said that in this market, Ji Changhe really found at least three shops selling strawberries. They should be the last strawberry plants at the end of the season. The freshness was still acceptable. At least Ji Changhe tried one and found that it was much better than those sent from the supermarket. Although it was still a little sour and not as good as the seasonal ones, at least it still had enough moisture.
But when Ji Changhe happily handed the strawberries to Chen Xiu, Chen Xiu just took a bite and gave him an extremely sharp and cold look, which scared Ji Changhe so much that his legs went weak and he almost knelt down and shouted "Dad".
"You want me to take these things back with me? Ji Changhe, do you still want your dog head?"
"..." Ji Changhe's dog head certainly wanted it, and he immediately didn't dare to say a word, but this seemed to be the best strawberry they could find. After all, the season was over, so where could he get sweet and juicy strawberries?
But seeing Chen Xiu walking in the market with a cold face, Ji Changhe immediately dared not say a word and could only follow behind him eagerly, fearing that he would really lose his dog head by accident. Chen Xiu walked around the market for a whole week without gaining anything. When he was about to finish visiting the entire market and came to the end where plants and seeds were sold, he suddenly saw something. Chen Xiu suddenly quickened his pace and stopped in front of a store that mainly sold agricultural plant seeds. In front of this store, there were some fruits for sale that had nothing to do with the store.
But this is not the point. The point is that anyone with eyes can see that the fruits sold here are better than the fruits sold in the fruit shops in the entire market outside.
Each fruit is extremely plump, obviously ripe at the right time. Judging from the broken stems, the wounds on the roots are very fresh, and they must have been picked not long ago. Among these fruits are strawberries, which are right next to the cherry tomatoes. They look red and big, and are particularly pleasing to the eye. Their redness is almost as good as that of the cherry tomatoes.
"Can I give it a try?"
The fruit seller had never seen such a scene before and was already stuttering, unable to speak. However, the proprietress beside him was quick to react and quickly jumped out and said, "Sure, sure, of course. This is something a little girl left with me to help sell. It's not worth much, about the same as the market price. If you take all of it, the little girl said you can get a discount..."
These strawberries were surprisingly delicious, not only sweet but also incredibly juicy. The moment he took one, Shen Xiu quickly made his assessment. These strawberries were even better than seasonal ones. How... were they cultivated? A greenhouse? No, that wasn't right. Those grown in a greenhouse weren't nearly as good as seasonal ones.
Seeing his best friend's slightly stunned look, Ji Changhe, who originally wasn't too fond of strawberries, couldn't help but become puzzled. He couldn't help but pick up a strawberry and put it in his mouth. The moment he took it in, Ji Changhe's peach blossom eyes suddenly widened, and he subconsciously wanted to take the second strawberry and stuff it into his mouth. But it was obvious that the person next to him was one step faster. After ruthlessly knocking away Ji Changhe's extended hand, he said to the proprietress with a rare joyful mood: "I want them all. Please pack them for me."
"Oh, strawberries? Wait a minute, I'll weigh them for you to see how many pounds they are."
"No need to weigh, I said all, just pack up all the fruits, I want them all."
"..." Ji Changhe was forced to give up the strawberries. He just found that the cherry tomatoes next to them were also delicious and wanted to pack up the fruits. He even wanted to cry, but in the end he shamelessly took a kilogram or two of cherry tomatoes from his best friend and left satisfied.
I thought the matter was over. After all, no matter how delicious the fruit is, it is just fruit and there is nothing special about it.
However, the next day, Ji Changhe woke up Chen Xiu with a phone call. He excitedly asked him to share some of the fruits he bought yesterday. Chen Xiu couldn't help but frown, "Didn't you take some cherry tomatoes home to satisfy your craving? I sent all those fruits to the old house yesterday. They are not with me."
"I wanted to try some of these, but I just brought them back to the office and before I could even taste two, my grandma came over. She saw the cherry tomatoes on my desk and couldn't control her appetite and ate them all. But that's not the main point. The main point is that my grandma went home yesterday and found that her insomnia had improved. She slept very soundly. After thinking about it for a long time, she firmly believed that it was the effect of the cherry tomatoes."
Is this the effect of cherry tomatoes? It's just a fruit, how can it have such a great effect? Chen Xiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he also knew that Ji Changhe was the closest to his ancestor. If the ancestor of the Ji family wanted to eat, Ji Changhe would do everything he could to help him get it. And it just so happened that Chen Xiu had to go back to the ancestral house that day, so he naturally agreed.
So, Ji Changhe on the other side waited and waited until it was almost dark, but he still didn't get a response from Chen Xiu. Finally, he couldn't help but come back again, but this time, Chen Xiu's reply was: "No more, I won't give it to you even if I have it."
“!
Ji Changhe: Chen Xiu is a big pig's hoof, his words don't count!
On the other side, after replying this sentence, Chen Xiu turned off his phone without even looking at Ji Changhe, and looked at his mother nervously.
To be honest, there is nothing wrong with giving other fruits to Ji Changhe. They are just more delicious fruits. The Shen family has everything they want. This is what Shen Xiu originally thought, but when he returned to the ancestral home, he found that Shen's mother, who should have been in a very bad mental state during this period, was now very energetic and chatting with Shen's father. Her face was rosy and she was full of energy. How could she be so weak and sickly as she was yesterday?
When Mother Shen saw her son, the first thing she said was to ask where he bought the fruit yesterday.
"Not only are they delicious, but I feel like my headache hasn't come back since I woke up today, and I'm in great spirits, as if I'd eaten some magical fruit. Xiu'er, where did you buy these fruits? Can you buy some more? I want to give them to my sisters to try."
Those fruits again! Could it be that what the Ji family's ancestor said was also true? Chen Xiu was filled with doubts, but when he sent someone to find the shop owner to ask about the source of the fruit, the owner shook her head in embarrassment, saying that she hadn't seen the little girl come to the market recently, but she had a contact number that he could try to contact.
However, Chen Xiu and Ji Changhe had been trying to contact each other for a week, but they couldn't get through to each other. All the prompts said that the call was out of service area and could not be connected. In the end, they had no choice but to put the matter aside.
