Faced with the envy of his friends, Xiaojie felt very proud for a while.
"Xiao Jie, what flavor is this candy? Can we have a taste?"
"Yeah, yeah, Xiaojie, let us have a taste."
"At worst, we can trade you with the wild vegetables we found."
......
The friends all talked about it, wanting to taste this delicious candy.
Xiao Jie looked at the eager eyes of his friends and thought about the exchange conditions they proposed. It was undeniable that Xiao Jie was a little moved.
He pondered for a moment, then agreed, "Okay, but each of you can only lick one."
For the sake of the wild vegetables, he generously let them lick a bite to taste it.
"Great!" the friends cheered.
The cheers attracted the attention of the adults nearby. They turned their heads to look at the group of children, and when they saw that nothing happened, they ignored them.
It's probably just some kids playing around.
The other children watched intently as Xiaojie slowly unwrapped a candy, revealing the red candy inside. He was so nervous that even his breathing slowed down.
The children all opened their eyes wide, looking at the crystal clear candy in disbelief. Their appetites were stirring, and they were eager to taste the candy.
After peeling the candies, Xiaojie instructed: "Don't be impatient, line up one by one, and each person can only lick one bite. And give me the wild vegetables."
When the little friends heard the instructions, they lined up one by one with wild vegetables in their hands.
Xiaojie took the wild vegetables handed to him with his left hand, and took the candy with his right hand and placed it in front of them.
Every child who tasted it showed an intoxicated expression, as if they were still immersed in the deliciousness of the candy.
After everyone had tasted it, they started discussing it.
"Xiaojie, your candy is delicious!"
"Xiao Jie, where did you buy your candy? I'll ask my dad to buy some for you when we get home." This is for the more pampered and wealthy ones in the family.
“I’ve never tasted such delicious candy.”
"Xiao Jie, can you give me another lick? I haven't tasted it yet."
......
Facing various questions from his friends, Xiaojie gave a unified reply: "No, no, I don't know."
Anyway, it’s just a word ‘no’.
Xiaojie's answer left the other friends with regretful expressions.
"Next time my aunt gives it to me, I'll bring it over for you to try."
The friends instantly perked up, "When?"
"......" Xiaojie hesitated for a moment, "Anyway, it will be next time."
As for when the next time will be, who knows.
The uneaten candy was particularly dazzling in everyone's eyes.
With this move, Xiao Jie harvested a large amount of wild vegetables. Looking at the pile of wild vegetables, Xiao Jie smiled brightly, even showing his teeth.
Now they can go home soon.
I don’t know if my aunt will reward me again for having so many wild vegetables.
After these few days, in Xiaojie's heart, Shen Qingmiao has been promoted to the most beloved family member.
Of course, Xiaojie would never admit that it was the candy's credit.
It's clearly a manifestation of his love for his aunt.
Xiao Jie came to Shen Qingmiao with the wild vegetables he had obtained and asked, "Aunt, look, am I really good?"
Shen Qingmiao was surprised: Where did Xiaojie get such a large amount of wild vegetables?
Don’t say that he dug them himself. Shen Qingmiao didn’t believe that Xiaojie could dig so many wild vegetables in such a short time.
Shen Qingmiao asked the question in her heart, "Xiao Jie, tell your aunt, where did you get so many wild vegetables?"
"They gave it to me." Xiao Jie pointed to his friends not far away.
"Why do they dig wild vegetables for you?" Shen Qingmiao was very curious.
"Because I gave them the candy to taste." Xiaojie said this while puffing out his chest proudly.
After hearing the whole story, Shen Qingmiao couldn't help but admire Xiaojie's business talent.
At such a young age, he knew how to barter and made a lot of money.
Shen Qingmiao couldn't help but praise: "Not bad."
"Then auntie, can we go home now?" Xiao Jie asked, looking at the half-filled bamboo basket of wild vegetables.
It had only been a short time since they came out, and Shen Qingmiao didn't want to go back yet.
"How about you go play with your friends first, and I'll call you when I get back."
"Well... okay." Seeing that there seemed to be no candy reward, Xiaojie answered weakly.
Shen Qingmiao frowned slightly, watching Xiaojie running away, and asked curiously: "Did I see it wrong? Why does Xiaojie seem unhappy?"
Before Shen Qingmiao could figure it out, the older sister next to him came forward and asked, "Wow, your Xiaojie is so amazing. He dug up so many wild vegetables." Her eyes were full of envy.
Shen Qingmiao glanced at the small basket in her elder sister's hand and complimented her in the same way: "You are not bad, elder sister. Your small basket is almost full."
The eldest sister said with a smile: "Oh, I just came early. How can I compare to your speed?"
Although she said this, the smile on her elder sister's face never disappeared.
Shen Qingmiao laughed along.
After a while, as if she had thought of something, the elder sister put away the smile on her face and moved closer to Shen Qingmiao. "Qingmiao girl, do you know that He Zhiqing has been pestering Zhang Hongjun recently?"
This matter is of course clear, and it has been described clearly in the book.
But the reality is, Shen Qingmiao has been staying at home obediently these days and not going out to chat, so he is really not sure.
Shen Qingmiao shook his head.
Seeing this, the older sister, her whole body filled with gossip, leaned in and whispered, "You don't know yet, that educated young woman He is always trying to please that kid Zhang Hongjun. She even claims to be from a big city and has no shame at all. Even though that kid Zhang Hongjun rejected her, she still refuses to give up."
