"It's okay. I'm useful. Go ahead."

After getting her affirmative answer, the old man happily bent down, took the bag and started packing it for her.

The two baskets of sand pears filled seven plastic bags, weighing 47 pounds, for a total of four dollars and seventy cents.

"Girl, since you bought a lot, I'll give you a discount. Just give me 4.50 yuan."

Yun Mo handed the other person a five-dollar bill and pointed to the school gate behind her. "I can't carry so much. Can you help me carry it into the classroom? You don't have to give me the change. Just consider it as your hard work fee."

The old man quickly said, "No, no, no, I'll give you as much as I owe you. I'll help you pick these pears and bring them to the classroom. No labor fee required."

Seeing that the other party was an honest person, Yun Mo did not force him and accepted the fifty cents change.

They all carried loads, and the old man also helped Yang Huiying carry the pears she bought. Yang Huiying was happy to be the boss and lead the way with Yun Mo on her arm.

"Yun Mo, why did you buy so many pears? You're not planning to make autumn pear paste, are you?"

"You'll know in a moment."

Although it was lunch break, there were still many people in the classroom. Seeing Yun Mo bought two large baskets of pears, many people came over curiously to watch.

"This pear is pretty good. How much is one pound?"

"One cent."

"It's quite cheap, Yunmo. You can't finish all the food you buy, so give me a few pounds."

"I want it, too."

Yun Mo smiled and waved at everyone, "If you want to buy some, you can go to the school gate tomorrow. I have some use for these pears."

The old man was also very understanding. Hearing that Yun Mo was introducing business to him, he immediately responded, "I will still be setting up a stall at the school gate at this time tomorrow afternoon. Anyone who wants to buy pears can come and buy them."

After the old man left, Yun Mo asked Yang Huiying to help distribute the pears to each table one by one.

Only then did Yang Huiying understand that Yun Mo bought so many pears in order to treat everyone to some.

Yun Mo was deeply touched and grateful for everyone's care in the morning.

It just so happened that the old man selling sand pears looked very much like her grandfather Huang Kailin, so she thought of buying all of his sand pears so that he could go home early for dinner, and she could also treat her classmates to some pears to moisten their throats.

Kill two birds with one stone.

"Yun Mo, thank you."

The students who got the pears thanked Yun Mo happily. For some who were not in their seats, Yun Mo simply put the pears in their desk pockets.

There are 49 students in the class. After dividing the seven bags of pears, there are still two bags left.

Yun Mo took one bag to the senior grade office and treated the teachers to it, and prepared to take the remaining bag home.

Not long after the pears were distributed, Zhong Xiaoya, Yun Yao and Fu Ruman returned to the classroom together.

Seeing that everyone was eating pears and that she had one in her desk pocket, Zhong Xiaoya couldn't help but be curious, "Where did the pear come from?"

"Yun Mo treated everyone to a meal."

Hearing what the classmate sitting in front of her said, Zhong Xiaoya's face suddenly darkened. She stood up and returned the pear to Yun Mo's desk.

"I don't want it!"

After glancing at the returned pear, Yun Mo put it into her desk pocket without even raising her head, and continued to study the math problem in front of her.

Zhong Xiaoya snorted coldly and returned to her seat angrily. When she saw Fu Ruman putting the pears into her schoolbag, she suddenly felt unhappy.

In her opinion, she and Fu Ruman were good friends, but now she had a disagreement with Yun Mo. As a good friend, Fu Ruman should stand on her side and return the pear to Yun Mo.

Fu Ruman glanced at Zhong Xiaoya and said nothing.

Fu Ruman became Zhong Xiaoya's deskmate only this semester.

Before, she thought that Zhong Xiaoya was a pretty good classmate, but as they got to know each other better, Zhong Xiaoya’s shortcomings gradually became apparent.

For example, he is narrow-minded, holds grudges, likes to gossip, has poor grades, and has no ambition.

Because of this pear, Zhong Xiaoya became very dissatisfied with Ruman and pulled Yunyao outside the classroom to talk in private.

"I thought of Ruman as my close friend. When she was squeezed out of the top ten in the city by Yunmo, I kept comforting her and even offered her water. But she accepted Yunmo's pears even though she knew that Yunmo and I didn't get along. She didn't consider me a friend at all!"

Yun Yao didn't want Zhong Xiaoya and Fu Ruman to break up at this critical juncture. She also hoped that the two of them would bring more people to her clothing store to shop.

Especially Fu Ruman, who comes from a wealthy family and a scholarly family. She is surrounded by many girls of the same age, who are all potential customers for her clothing store.

"Xiaoya, don't be angry. To be honest, this matter was all caused by Xiaomo. Xiaomo is a vain person who likes to compare with others. Yesterday, I revealed that her married life was not going well. She must be trying to save face in this way."

Zhong Xiaoya sneered disdainfully: "A few broken pears, who can afford them?"

Yun Yao patted Zhong Xiaoya comfortingly, "Okay, don't be estranged with Ruman because of such a small matter, it's not worth it. Ruman is probably shy and doesn't want to return the pear to Yun Mo in front of her, causing gossip. Think about it, Ruman has a background like that, she has seen all kinds of good things, would she care about a pear? She just doesn't want everyone to make things too embarrassing."

After Yun Yao's persuasion, Zhong Xiaoya's dissatisfaction with Ruman finally disappeared.

When they returned to the classroom, Zhong Xiaoya humbled herself and took the initiative to chat with Fu Ruman.

"Ruman, I'll come find you tomorrow morning, and then we'll go to Yunyao's clothing store to buy clothes."

Fu Ruman had finally come up with an idea for solving the problem, but after being interrupted by Zhong Xiaoya, she suddenly had no idea at all.

She was silent for a long time before putting down her pen and coldly refused: "I have something to do tomorrow, so I won't go. You go by yourself."

"Let's go together, didn't we agree on that?"

"My uncle found a physics teacher for me, and I'm going to take extra lessons tomorrow."

"Why don't you tell your uncle to make up for it next week? Your grades are so good anyway, so it's okay to skip half a day of class."

No matter how Zhong Xiaoya begged, Fu Ruman refused to give in, so Zhong Xiaoya had to ask Yun Yao for help.

If it doesn't work this time, there will be next time. Yun Yao could see that Fu Ruman was unhappy and didn't want to upset her, so she shook her head at Zhong Xiaoya.

Zhong Xiaoya could only give up the idea of ​​asking Fu Ruman to keep her company.

—

Since the morning, Ling Chuan and Zhou Xiaowei have been very busy.

Upon learning that Lingchuan had brought back new goods from Urumqi, the proprietresses who had received goods from Lingchuan before came to his house to get the goods.

Seeing that his younger brother was too busy, Ling Jiang simply stopped setting up the stall and helped to serve customers in the courtyard. Even Ling Chunhua was busy pouring water and bringing stools to everyone, which earned her praise from the lady bosses.

It was not until 5 o'clock in the afternoon that the courtyard became quiet.

Everyone sat in the yard to rest, drink water and eat fruit.

After sitting for less than five minutes, Ling Chuan got up and went to the kitchen.

After a while, Ling Chuan came out of the kitchen carrying a basket of vegetables, looking like he was going out. Ling Jiang subconsciously asked, "Chuanzi, where are you going?"

"Go buy groceries and come back to make dinner."
