Chapter 387 I like this book
The watermelons were planted in the backyard, and the seeds were obtained by Grandma Chen by chance.
When I planted them, I just had the mentality of giving it a try, but I didn't expect that they would actually succeed and bear fruit.
However, I don’t know if it’s a problem with the watermelon variety or the way they grow it, but the watermelons are very small but very sweet.
Just after lunch, Su Runrun went to the backyard to pick a ripe watermelon and soaked it in well water.
The watermelon that has been soaked for a while is icy and cool, and is the best way to cool down in the summer.
Grandma Chen took a look at the watermelon soaking in the basin and knew who it was for without asking.
She and Su Aimin are both old, and they never eat cold watermelon or at night, for fear of accidentally getting a stomach upset.
Su Ruanruan herself is not a greedy person and would not soak a watermelon at night.
That watermelon was prepared for Xiao Chengjin.
Although it has only been a short time since the beginning of summer, the weather is already very hot. Xiao Chengjin must be tired and hot riding his bicycle back and forth.
It would be great to eat a cold and sweet watermelon when I get back! As Grandma Chen was thinking, she heard the sound of a bicycle.
As soon as she heard the voice, Grandma Chen knew that it was Xiao Chengjin who had returned.
Sure enough, after a while, Xiao Chengjin came in on a bicycle.
Xiao Chengjin parked his bicycle and ran towards Su Ruanruan in a hurry.
"Ruanruan, look what I bought for you."
As he spoke, Xiao Chengjin opened his bulging shoulder bag and took out a pair of rubber shoes from it.
A new pair of black rubber shoes.
The shoes were small, and Granny Chen knew at a glance that they were Su Ruanruan's size.
Su Ruanruan looked at the rubber shoes in surprise, "When did you buy them?"
“Just bought it today.”
Su Ruanruan suddenly understood, "You have been running to the county town all the time recently, just to buy me rubber shoes?"
"right!"
The shoes had already been bought, so Xiao Chengjin no longer kept it a secret.
He had kept it a secret before just to give Su Ruanruan a surprise. Now that the surprise has been delivered, of course he will answer whatever Su Ruanruan asks.
"A pair of rubber shoes is not cheap, you——"
"I earned the money myself, and didn't ask my parents for it, so you can wear it without worry."
“How do you make money?”
"You reminded me that the yard in your county town is empty, so I planted vegetables in the empty space that can be used to grow vegetables, and also raised a few rabbits. When I'm not in the county town, I ask my sister to help take care of them for me. I go there often recently to sell them."
"Don't worry, I took action after I got to know the county well. I was also in disguise when I took action, so no one would be able to recognize me."
"How much did you sell it for?"
"Six dollars and eighty-six cents. That's a little too little!"
Speaking of this, Xiao Chengjin scratched his head embarrassedly.
After working for such a long time, he only earned 6.86 yuan. He bought a pair of rubber shoes for Su Ruanruan, and had 1.86 yuan left. He also bought headscarves for his grandmother and Grandma Chen, cigarettes for his father and grandfather, and hairbands for his mother and sister. Finally, he bought a book with the remaining money.
After Xiao Chengjin gave the headscarf to Granny Chen, he took out the book and handed it to Su Aimin, "Grandpa, I don't know what you like or need, so I bought you a book."
Su Aimin took it and looked at it. Wow, it was the Red. Book! "Good buy, I like this book!"
