Li Xiaoru was almost dazzled by the smile of the girl next door, and when she came to her senses, she immediately felt a little embarrassed.
However, she remembered why she had come, so she quickly replied, "Tomorrow morning, right?"
She did the calculation again, still not entirely sure, before nodding firmly and saying, "Yes, it's tomorrow morning, no doubt."
Hearing that she hadn't missed the time, Liu Shile was overjoyed. She reached out and patted her little head, then took out a few kiwis to express her gratitude.
Li Xiaoru declined, but Liu Shile wouldn't let her leave empty-handed, saying that the fruit wasn't worth much and that she absolutely had to accept it.
This girl is also of good character. When asked to pass on a message to her and her second brother, she didn't find the person and didn't tell her family.
Otherwise, this kiwi fruit matter would probably have nothing to do with Liu Shile, so Liu Shile is willing to treat this girl better.
Of course, she couldn't offer anything else as a thank you. Anyway, the kiwifruit was delicious and nutritious, perfect as a gift.
Li Xiaoru couldn't refuse after several attempts, so she had no choice but to accept it. However, looking at the slightly soft fruit in her hand, she couldn't believe it was really delicious.
But if it doesn't taste good, why would the big brother who drives a truck want to buy it? She went home with some doubt.
When she got home, she ran into her cousin Li Xiaojun, who was a few days older than her. Li Xiaojun noticed that she was holding something and immediately came over to take it.
Li Xiaoru subconsciously withdrew her hand, wanting to resist, since someone wanted to buy it and she wanted to try it.
Li Xiaojun, however, saw what was in her hand and immediately said disdainfully, "That brat actually treats hairy fruit like a treasure. Bah, I wouldn't even want this thing if it were given to me for free."
Li Xiaoru didn't say anything. She lowered her head, took the things, and returned to the second room. When she saw her younger siblings who were so thin they were skin and bones, and then thought of her older cousins who were strong and healthy, her heart ached.
She glanced at the wild fruit in her hand, pursed her lips, and then peeled the fruit just as Sister Lele had instructed. A fragrant aroma wafted over, making her swallow hard.
"Sister, what is this? It smells so good!" Li Xiaocao asked curiously, staring at the fruit in her sister's hand that wasn't pretty but smelled wonderful.
Li Xiaoru glanced at the closed door and whispered, "These are wild fruits given by Sister Lele. Here, try them and see if they're good."
Hearing that it was given to her by her neighbor, Sister Lele, Li Xiaocao hesitated for a moment, but after all, she was still a child and couldn't resist the temptation of the aroma. She swallowed her saliva and took a bite.
Then her eyes widened, startling Li Xiaoru who had been watching her. What was going on? Was it not tasty?
"Is it not tasty? Then let's not eat it." Li Xiaoru quickly said, her cousin showing disdain for the thing.
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaocao shook her head, ate the fruit in her mouth in large bites, and fed the fruit in her hand to her sister, saying as she did so, "Sister, it's delicious, you should eat some too!"
Li Xiaoru took a bite without thinking, and the sweet and sour taste instantly filled her mouth. Only then did she believe that the fruit was indeed delicious.
No wonder the older brother driving the car wanted to buy this wild fruit; it really is delicious! Sister Lele is amazing; she actually knew it was delicious and that she could even make money from it!
So, does reading really make you more knowledgeable? A glimmer of longing for reading flashed in her eyes, but it quickly faded away.
She graduated from primary school in the first half of the year and now works at home, taking care of her younger brother and sister. As for school, that's no longer an option.
"Sister, have some more." Little Grass, unaware of what her sister was thinking, held up her little paws and fed her some delicious fruit.
Li Xiaoru came to her senses and looked at her younger sister with gentle eyes. She shook her head and said, "Xiaocao, you eat it. I'll feed my brother some. Sister Lele said that eating more of this fruit is good for your health."
After saying that, she peeled another kiwi and started feeding it to her younger brother, but she refused to eat another bite herself.
Liu Shile was unaware of what had happened to the Li family. At this moment, she had already put aside all distractions and was cultivating her spiritual power, something she did every day without fail.
The next day, as dawn was breaking, Liu Shile heard noises coming from inside her house. She ignored them, practiced her health-preserving exercises a few times inside, and then went out.
Then she saw her older sister hopping around sweeping the floor, which made Liu Shile speechless.
Her eldest sister is too hardworking. Even though she's injured, she doesn't stop working. There's plenty of room for her. Why is she so hardworking?
"Big sister, you sit down, I'll sweep." Finally, she sighed helplessly, snatched the broom from her older sister's hand, and started sweeping.
However, Liu Shixi was a restless person. Seeing that her younger sister had taken this opportunity, she went to the backyard to feed the cows, where there was still some leftover hay.
Liu Shile watched her retreating figure speechlessly. Fine, let her do what her older sister wants to do; she wouldn't interfere anymore.
However, it's really inconvenient for my older sister to walk like this. Maybe we can go to the market later to see if there are any walking sticks. If there are, we can buy her one.
During the meal, Zhang Sumei began assigning tasks, assigning the tasks of herding cattle and cutting grass to Liu Shile.
According to her original plan, she actually wanted Liu Shile to go to the mountains to chop firewood, but she felt sorry for her lucky son, so today she directly let Liu Shile take care of the dairy cows.
Liu Shile didn't refuse, but herding cattle was out of the question as she had other things to do. As for cutting grass, it was no problem for her at all; she could have as much as she wanted.
But why did she make so much? She only needed enough for today. As for tomorrow, she could leave it to her precious child at home; she didn't care.
After eating, Liu Shile slipped away without going out. Instead, she took out the two baskets of kiwifruit she had picked earlier, which weighed about 60 or 70 pounds.
She took about ten and left, figuring that Brother Wang wouldn't be passing through their town right now, and she could go later.
Upon arriving at the purchasing station, Liu Shile rubbed her eyes in disbelief, wondering if she had stumbled upon a fake one. It was market day, after all, and the station only had staff?!
"Little girl, is there anything I can help you with?" Chen Shan, who had nothing to do, looked at the puzzled little girl standing in front of the purchasing station and asked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Liu Shile smiled slightly, stepped into the purchasing station, and took out two kiwis directly from the cloth bag slung across her shoulder. "Yes, I came to ask if they buy these here."
Chen Shan, who had been all smiles, was speechless when he saw the hairy fruit in front of him. "Little girl, are you sure you're not just messing with me out of boredom?"
These hairy fruits don't taste very good, so don't treat them like treasures. We don't accept these things here...
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Shan saw the girl pick up a hairy fruit with her fair hands, peel it open, and then a faint fragrance wafted out.
