"Little Sister!" A familiar voice came from the top of the wall.
"Long'er!"
Huo Xiaolong climbed over the wall, came up to her, took her hand, and said...
"My mom promised to buy me a mine!"
Really?
"real!"
Hou Xiangxiang was even more envious. Look at that mother, giving away 50,000 taels of silver so easily. And look at her own mother, getting a beating for playing with an insect.
"What kind of mine?" Xu Qiushui asked, approaching the two children, as she was feeling bored.
“Nitrate,” Huo Xiaolong replied.
"Why would you buy that stuff? Are you going to start a fireworks business?"
The little dumpling stiffened its neck twice, turned around, and turned its back to her. "Trade secret, I'm not telling you."
"Aren't you going to tell me?"
Miss Xu had a penchant for teasing people; she patted Huo Xiaolong's bottom and said...
"How about this, I'll give you half, consider it an investment, and tell me why?"
The girl's eyes were bright and she wanted to know why Huo Xiaolong bought this thing, but the little dumpling was stubborn and said, "I'm not going to tell you!"
"I only want four percent interest."
Huo Xiaolong remained silent, so Xu Qiushui continued.
Three points?
"Two points, no less!"
The little dumpling turned around and looked at her angrily, saying...
"I won't tell you, but you can invest. I won't let you lose money; you'll definitely make a fortune."
The almond-eyed girl rolled her eyes so high they seemed to reach the sky. Because of her large eyes, a lot of white was visible when she rolled them. The girl clicked her tongue a few times and said…
"You're asking me to invest money in you without even telling me what kind of business you're doing? What's wrong with you? You're young, but you're quite cunning! You're the most shrewd of all! Why don't you join me as a shrewd businessman?"
Huo Xiaolong raised his little head and tried hard to look into her eyes as he spoke.
"Just tell me if you're going to join or not!"
Xu Qiushui, however, was easily swayed by this approach, and she laughed.
"Go for it! I'll see what kind of business you can do to earn back tens of thousands of taels of silver!"
"make a deal!"
The little boy reached out his tiny hand to her, and the girl's slender fingers took his chubby hand and said...
"make a deal."
But Xu Qiushui couldn't resist teasing her again, and continued...
"How about I invest more, and you give me a little more interest?"
Huo Xiaolong let go of her hand and shouted at her.
"Shameless! Dream on!"
Hahahahahaha.
Watching the two children run out of the backyard hand in hand, Xu Qiushui laughed heartily on the stool.
