Chapter 91 Picking up the kids from school
5:40.
Send Xue Guixian home.
Lin Su'e politely declined He Mian's invitation to stay for dinner.
Leave the family compound.
She first went to Pu County No. 3 Middle School.
Zhao Zhenyi and Zhao Fenglan both attended this school.
Zhao Zhenyi was in the first year of high school and his classes ended at 6 p.m., while Zhao Fenglan’s classes ended at 5 p.m., but she would always wait for her second brother to go home during holidays.
Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival.
The school did not have evening self-study tonight and the school would be on holiday after classes in the afternoon. Lin Su'e happened to be in the county and took them home.
…
Arrived at No. 3 Middle School.
It was not yet 6 o'clock and there were not many people at the school gate. There were only a few junior high school students surrounding a stall buying snacks.
With reform and opening up, the country allows business.
However, most people are still conservative in their thinking and dare not take the step of "speculation and profiteering".
But there is never a shortage of brave people.
Nowadays, the vendors setting up stalls in front of the school are the brave ones.
Lin Su'e simply counted them and found that there were 6 in total.
The items on sale are: sugar paintings, popcorn, roasted sweet potatoes, fried potatoes, popsicles and stinky tofu.
Sweet, fragrant, oily, cold, and smelly.
All five flavors.
The weather in September is still hot.
Lin Su'e was a little thirsty, so she walked to the popsicle stall.
"How much are the old popsicles?"
"Five cents a stick."
"One."
"Okay~"
The boss quickly took out the popsicles from the box and then quickly closed the lid.
Nowadays, refrigerators are top luxury items that most people cannot afford, and popsicles are usually sold in popsicle boxes.
In Shuikou Village in the summer, every ten days or half a month, someone would come by bicycle or on foot to sell popsicles.
Now there are only two kinds: popsicles and ice cream.
Popsicles are 5 cents.
Ice cream is 15 cents.
Whenever the popsicle seller comes to the village, it is the most excited time for the children, and they all clamor for their parents to sell them popsicles.
Some are sold, some are not.
Every time there are a few children throwing tantrums on the ground, but their parents are cruel enough to refuse to buy them the food.
It’s not that the 5 cents is not there.
The most important reason is: people have many children nowadays. If you buy something for one, you will definitely have to buy something for the other children as well. Otherwise, there will be chaos at home. So it’s better not to buy anything for any of them.
Let’s get back to the topic.
Lin Su'e peeled off the paper wrapper of the old popsicle, revealing the milky white popsicle inside.
After taking a bite, the cool, milky and lightly sweet taste fills your mouth, cooling you down.
In those days, popsicles had no additives and were all natural. Although they did not have as many varieties as the ice creams of later generations and were not as sweet, the taste was not inferior at all.
Eat half of it.
A loud bell rang for the end of get out of class.
Then, figures began to appear in front of Lin Su'e.
It's time to go home from school.
She finished the rest of the popsicle in two bites and stared intently at the school gate.
After a while.
Two familiar figures appeared before her.
Lin Su'e waved her hand: "Zhenyi, Yulan!"
The two men looked over immediately, and seeing her expression of surprise and joy, they trotted over to her.
Zhao Zhenyi: "Mom, why are you here?"
Zhao Fenglan took her arm and said, "Mom, did you come here specially to pick us up?"
Lin Su'e smiled and nodded, explaining, "Today, the Xue family's daughter went to meet the Hua family. I sent her back, and I thought you were almost done with school, so I came to pick you up and take you home."
Zhao Zhenyi suddenly realized.
Zhao Fenglan's eyes lit up: "Oh, so what, did it work?"
A gossipy look.
Lin Su'e raised her head slightly with confidence: "Needless to say, look at who your mother is!"
Zhao Fenglan applauded: "Mom is awesome."
Lin Su'e's smile deepened.
At this time, several male voices came to my ears.
"Hello, Auntie."
"Hello, ma'am."
"Hello, Auntie Lin. My name is Zeng Yun. I'm Zhenyi's good brother. We were in the same dormitory in junior high school and we're still in the same dormitory in high school."
Lin Su'e looked over.
There are three big boys, one tall, one short and one fat.
The tall and short ones look a little shy, while the fat boy is cheerful and lively.
She smiled kindly: "Hello, hello~"
He said to Zeng Yun, "We shared a dormitory in junior high school and were assigned to the same dormitory in high school. It seems like you and my second child are very compatible."
Zeng Yun nodded, smiling enthusiastically: "Aunt Lin, I have eaten the dishes you brought to Zhenyi several times, they are so delicious. My dad is a kitchen helper in the cafeteria, and your dishes are a hundred times more delicious than my dad's."
Lin Su'e was suddenly praised and smiled from ear to ear: "If you like it, I will make an extra portion next time and let Zhenyi bring it to you."
Zeng Yun's eyes lit up: "Is this okay?"
Lin Su'e smiled and nodded: "Why not? It's just a matter of convenience."
Zeng Yun was ecstatic: "Hahaha, thank you Aunt Lin."
Lin Su'e did not ignore the other two and asked with a smile, "Do you like spicy food?"
The two were stunned and nodded quickly.
"eat."
“I love spicy food.”
Lin Su'e: "Okay, I'll make something spicy for you. It just so happens that the second child likes spicy food."
"What do you want to eat?"
"Cold rabbit, spicy chicken, beer duck..."
Zeng Yun's mouth watered when she heard this, and she wanted to eat all of them. However, when she met Zhao Zhenyi's knife-like eyes, she trembled subconsciously and said, "I like everything Aunt Lin makes."
Liu Meng and Xu Kun echoed: "Me too."
Lin Su'e nodded: "Okay, I'll do it when I see it."
Zhao Zhenyi couldn't stand it anymore, and he immediately drove them away: "We are leaving, you guys should go home too."
The three of them then left.
Zeng Yun, in particular, looked reluctant and kept looking back.
"Goodbye Aunt Lin."
Lin Su'e waved her hand.
She watched him leave with a smile on her face: "Zhenyi, your classmate is quite funny~"
Zhao Zhenyi nodded.
Complaints in my heart:
hehe.
Just a foodie!
She coveted the food he brought all day long and tried every possible way to get some of it.
This time, he was stunned by the beauty.
Lin Su'e retracted her gaze and asked the two, "Do you want some ice cream?"
Zhao Fenglan's eyes suddenly lit up.
Zhao Zhenyi said insincerely: "It doesn't matter whether I eat it or not."
Lin Su'e laughed: "Then buy it."
"Boss, I want 7 ice creams."
"Okay, one dollar and five cents."
Hand one to each of them.
Zhao Fenglan couldn't wait to tear it open, took a bite, and squinted her eyes in satisfaction.
Zhao Zhenyi ate politely, but looking at his relaxed expression, one could tell that he was in a good mood.
Zhao Fenglan: "Mom, why did you buy so much?"
Lin Su'e: "And your brothers and sisters' as well."
Zhao Fenglan: “Oh.”
Zhao Zhenyi said, "Mom, you eat too."
Zhao Fenglan echoed: "That's right, that's right."
Lin Su'e felt warm in her heart: "I've already eaten it. Mom doesn't like ice cream. She only eats old popsicles."
As I get older, I can no longer appreciate ice cream. It doesn’t quench my thirst at all. Old popsicles are still better.
The two said nothing more.
go back.
Zhao Zhenyi rode his bike to take her and Zhao Fenglan with him.
Out of the city.
A cool breeze blows.
Zhao Zhenyi suddenly thought of something and asked, "That's not right, Mom, why did you buy two extra ice creams?"
Hearing this.
Lin Su'e was shocked.
My little one is really sharp and can notice such a small detail.
I wanted to go back and talk about it.
Since he asked, Lin Su'e answered, "I bought it for your elder sister and Pan Di. I have already agreed with the Wu family to divorce tomorrow."
