Chapter 264 The excitement is here - The sickly young lady eats melons in the courtyard
Lin Qing failed to persuade the old couple, but there was not much work left, so Lin Qing helped and finished it quickly.
"Dad, Mom, are you hot?" Lin Qing looked at the old couple who were sweating profusely and suddenly felt that his question was a bit redundant.
"Mom and Dad, let's go back to the next room and use the fan to cool down. It's so cool."
"No need." Mother Lin glanced at her and immediately rejected it.
"That's right. Wipe the sweat off and you'll feel cooler soon. Why do you need to turn on the fan?" Father Lin lifted his clothes and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Lin Qing opened his mouth and wanted to continue persuading them, but looking at their determined looks, he knew he would not succeed.
Never mind. "Then I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative on the front street and buy you two popsicles!"
Mother Lin opened her mouth to refuse again, but Father Lin quickly pulled on her clothes and said, "Okay, go ahead!"
They had just rejected the lady's offer to turn on the fan for them, so buying two popsicles was not expensive and was nothing.
Seeing that they did not continue to refuse, Lin Qing finally smiled and said, "Wait a minute, I'll be there soon."
Lin Qing was afraid that they would refuse again, so he ran away.
"What are you doing, old man? You are the only one who can be a good person." Lin's mother complained.
"Hehe, I'm just afraid that you'll hurt the child's feelings!" Looking at Lin's mother pouting like a child, Lin's father comforted her, "I know you're afraid that we'll add burden to our daughter, but it's better for our daughter to have this kind of heart than not!" It's better than their heartless son.
Mother Lin fell silent.
"Don't worry, I won't say any more."
Father Lin felt a little uncomfortable when he saw his wife like this. "Oh! Now that we have moved in, can we prepare the dishes for our daughter every day? Wouldn't that reduce their burden?"
After hearing this, Lin's mother clapped her hands and said, "You are right. If I had known, I would have followed my daughter there to get familiar with the way." In this way, she knew where the supply and marketing cooperative was, and she could go out early every morning to grab vegetables.
Father Lin patted Mother Lin's arm and said, "Don't worry, there's still plenty of time in the future!"
Mother Lin's mood improved again and she nodded.
The supply and marketing cooperative is not far away, only 20 minutes away there and back.
However, Lin Qing was afraid that the popsicle in his hand would melt, so he bought some ice cubes and put them in a bag to prevent them from melting in the hot weather.
Lin Qing also bought a few bottles of ice soda, thinking that he could drink them in the evening.
When she came back, all the children in the yard looked at her with clear eyes, or rather, at the popsicles and soda in her hands, their eyes were very hot.
Lin Qing sucked on the popsicle in his hand, looked at their eyes, and forgot what to do for a moment. The popsicle quickly melted and a few drops of water dripped onto the ground. Lin Qing quickly licked it and saved it.
The group of children's eyes kept following the popsicles and soda in her hands, giving people the feeling that they were about to grab them at the next second.
She didn't dare to stay any longer and immediately walked back home.
"Dad! Mom!" Lin Qing shouted quickly, he couldn't keep the popsicle in his hand anymore!
Lin's father and mother also came out.
Father Lin took the things from her and complained with a smile: "Didn't you buy popsicles? Why did you buy so much soda? Your mother and I only need one bottle."
"Hey, it's not that expensive. One bottle per person isn't too much! Hurry up, the popsicles are melting. Eat them quickly."
"Okay, okay!" The old couple quickly took out the popsicles from the bag.
Before they even entered the house, they took a sip of the popsicle.
Hmm~ It’s so cool!
It’s so comfortable to eat popsicles in this hot summer!
Mr. and Mrs. Lin looked very happy.
My mouth was watering as I looked at the group of children in the yard.
The school is closed today, so they don't have to go to school and stay at home. They are the only kids willing to play in the yard under the scorching sun, while the adults are hiding at home!
Father and Mother Lin looked at those pairs of little eyes, and they suddenly realized that they were being stared at!
But even so, they did not forget to sip the popsicles in their mouths, and the group of children also sucked the saliva in their mouths.
Lin Qing even felt that the three of them were a bit disgusting!
However, none of the three members of the family were saintly people, and even though they were being stared at by so many people, they remained indifferent and turned around to go home.
After Lin Qing and Lin's father and mother entered the room and disappeared, the group of children who had been staring at the family of three silently finally moved.
"I want to eat popsicles, too! Slurp!"
"Slurp!"
"Slurp!"
Several of them drooled.
"I want to eat popsicles and drink soda. Gulp~" He swallowed his saliva as he spoke.
Gu Dabao, who had been obeyed by Jiang Li recently, was no longer so cautious and ran home directly, intending to ask his stepmother Jiang Li to buy it for him.
Gu Xiaoniu has gained a lot of benefits from following her brother recently, and she is considered smart, so she followed him immediately.
"Stepmother, stepmother, I want to eat popsicles and drink soda." Gu Dabao yelled directly.
Gu Hang went out and Jiang Li was alone in the room. When Gu Dabao yelled, Jiang Li and Gu's mother heard it immediately.
A hint of disgust flashed across Jiang Li's eyes, but she quickly regained her original calm expression and walked out of the room.
Aunt Gu said to Jiang Li, "My grandson wants to eat popsicles and drink soda. Go and buy them for him quickly. Buy more." Aunt Gu also wanted to take advantage of the situation.
But from beginning to end, she never mentioned money. Jiang Li lowered her eyes the whole time, and did not refuse, but whispered, "Okay!"
Aunt Gu's face instantly lit up. It turned out that her daughter-in-law was better than the one across the street.
"Hurry up!"
Jiang Li touched her pocket and thought that she still had enough money, so she didn't go back to the room but walked out to the yard.
The other children in the yard watched Gu Dabao get the popsicle so easily. Although they had not bought it yet, it gave them a glimmer of hope.
This made them feel a little bit excited.
The other children also scattered and ran back home.
The adults from other families saw that it was indeed a bit hot that day and did not refuse, but they were not as generous as the Gu family, who gave each person a popsicle and a soda.
Most of the time, two people shared a popsicle or a bottle of soda, and soon a group of children ran out of the yard.
Of course there are exceptions, and that is the Jiang family.
Jiang Dahu and Jiang Erhu also imitated Gu Dabao and shouted in the yard, "Stepmother, stepmother, we want to eat popsicles and drink soda."
As a result, Lin Shu pretended to be dead in the room and couldn't hear anything.
Mother Jiang also ran out of the room and started clapping loudly next door.
“Pah, pah, pah!”
"Second brother, are you deaf?" Aunt Jiang's voice was very loud.
Lin Qing heard it in the room and immediately ran to the window. According to her experience, there would definitely be something exciting to watch later.
Father and mother Lin looked at each other. This yard was indeed quite lively. Such trivial matters could cause a stir.
