"What kind of fruit is this? It looks a bit like a cherry."
Qin Bin threw the cherry into his mouth. The firm taste with a hint of sweetness and sourness made him, who liked sweet and sour things, sigh with satisfaction in his heart.
"This is called cherry, you can also call it big cherry, what do you think it tastes like?"
Shen Zhihuan, who was squatting next to the backpack, stuffed several cherries into his mouth while talking.
Qin Bin frowned, and when Shen Zhihuan's hand reached for the backpack again, Qin Bin quickly picked up the old clothes that Shen Zhihuan had thrown aside and covered the backpack with them.
"Are you here to discuss business or to eat fruit?!" Qin Bin glanced at the cherry pits at Shen Zhihuan's feet and said unhappily.
"Let's talk! How do you want to talk?" Shen Zhihuan retracted his hand without a trace of embarrassment on his face.
"Besides these cherries and lychees, what else do you have?" Qin Bin asked in a low voice.
"As long as the price is right, I can get any summer fruit. It just depends on the price you offer." Shen Zhihuan shrugged with a smile.
Qin Bin thought for a moment, "Apples, peaches, watermelons, plums, apricots, etc. are 40 cents, and lychees and cherries, I'll give you 2 yuan per pound, what do you think?"
"Cherries need to be at least four pieces." Shen Zhihuan pouted and stretched out his index finger, shaking it gently twice.
"No, four dollars is too high." Qin Bin rejected it in a second.
What a joke.
No matter how rare these cherries are, you can't take advantage of them!
The best fat meat is only 60 cents a pound, and with four yuan, you can buy more than six pounds of fat meat, enough for a good meal for the whole family.
Shen Zhihuan: "Then let's each make a concession, three dollars and fifty cents, no less."
"Three pieces, no more." Qin Bin gritted his teeth.
Shen Zhihuan pretended to frown and ponder for a long time, and finally sighed, "Okay! Three dollars is three dollars."
“…”
Qin Bin's heart skipped a beat.
I feel like I've fallen into a pit.
Seeing that it was getting late, the two agreed on the time and place to pick up the goods tomorrow. Shen Zhihuan picked up the backpack and boarded the bus back to town.
As for the rice, flour, vegetable oil, brown sugar, soap, Seagull shampoo and other things she had exchanged from Qin Bin, she had thrown them into the resort as soon as she stepped out of the courtyard.
If she wasn't afraid that buying too many things at once would scare her new mother and new brother, she would have liked to buy them some new clothes and a few more cans of milk powder and malted milk.
When passing by the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, Shen Zhihuan couldn't help but bought a few pounds of ribs that others had left over.
Walk and rest along the way.
Not long after entering the village, Shen Zhihuan saw two figures, one tall and one short, standing in front of his house from afar, and his eyes became sore.
In the past, whenever she came home late, her grandparents would stand at the door like this.
Later, her grandparents passed away, and there was no one waiting for her at the door anymore...
"Third sister!" The sharp-eyed little Weidong spotted Shen Zhihuan at the end of the path and ran towards her happily.
When Li Qiuhua saw this, he quickly followed.
Shen Zhihuan lowered his head to calm himself, then quickened his pace to meet him.
"Third sister, I earned two work points today, and also helped Xiaohua and Xiaohei catch a bamboo caterpillar. Do you think Xiaohua and Xiaohei will lay eggs tomorrow?" Xiao Weidong said happily.
"Yes! I definitely will!" Shen Zhihuan smiled and rubbed little Weidong's round head.
"Are you tired?" Li Qiuhua looked Shen Zhihuan up and down, and seeing that there was nothing wrong with her, she reached out to take the backpack behind Shen Zhihuan.
The next moment, she was completely shocked by the weight of the thing in her hand.
"Mom, it's just a few steps away." Shen Zhihuan squeezed Li Qiuhua's hand, glanced at the men and women washing clothes by the river not far away, and signaled her to go home first.
Li Qiuhua withdrew her hand a little nervously, and walked home stiffly side by side with Shen Zhihuan.
Little Weidong rushed to the front happily.
As soon as the three of them entered the yard, Li Qiuhua slammed the gate shut. Not only did he bolt it, he also found a large wooden stick as thick as a bowl from the pile of firewood next to the gate and propped it against the gate.
Shen Zhihuan stared in amazement at Li Qiuhua's frantic operations. Even Xiao Weidong realized that something was wrong and stood quietly beside Shen Zhihuan.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Shen Zhihuan couldn't help but whisper.
"Let's go back to the house first." Li Qiuhua glanced outside through the gap in the courtyard gate with some concern.
It was not until the door to the main room was closed that Li Qiuhua, feeling uneasy, asked, "What's in your backpack?"
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Wild vegetables can’t bear this weight.
Shen Zhihuan lifted the tattered clothes covering it and took out the rice, flour and five big meat buns. As for the cooking oil and other things, she thought about it and threw them back to the resort.
"Where...did you get these...things?" Li Qiuhua was so frightened when he saw the snow-white refined flour and shiny rice that he couldn't speak clearly.
"I sold my hair at the market and bought it." Shen Zhihuan said calmly.
As he spoke, Shen Zhihuan opened the oil paper that wrapped the meat buns, took one out and handed it to Xiao Weidong.
I don’t know if it’s because they have been kept in the resort, but the meat buns are still warm.
"Baozi!" Xiao Weidong's eyes lit up.
"Eat!" Shen Zhihuan gently scratched Xiao Weidong's nose.
"Third sister, I'm not hungry, you eat." Little Weidong smacked his lips and swallowed his saliva, then put his hands behind his back.
"I've already eaten. These are left for you and mom. Eat them quickly!" Shen Zhihuan forcefully stuffed the buns into Xiao Weidong's hands.
As he spoke, Shen Zhihuan stuffed another meat bun the size of a small grapefruit into Li Qiuhua's hand.
"Mom is not hungry. Save these for you to eat at night." Li Qiuhua wanted to put them back immediately as if her hand was scalded by the meat bun.
"Mom!" Shen Zhihuan called out in a deep voice, frowning.
"Mom is really not hungry." Seeing that her daughter was unhappy, Li Qiuhua said cautiously.
"Anyway, I've already eaten, and Mom isn't hungry. It would be bad to leave it until tomorrow, so I might as well take it out and throw it away now." Shen Zhihuan stood up and made a gesture to take action.
"Little ancestor, mother eats, mother eats, isn't it okay?" Li Qiuhua grabbed Shen Zhihuan.
Finally, under Shen Zhihuan's supervision, all five big meat buns went into the stomachs of Li Qiuhua and Xiao Weidong. Li Qiuhua originally wanted to leave two for Shen Zhihuan to eat in the evening, but was glared back by Shen Zhihuan.
"Third sister, Su Zijie came to our house today." When Li Qiuhua took the eight big unity cards of Su Ziyu to Su Changjiang's house, Xiao Weidong leaned close to Shen Zhihuan's ear and whispered.
"Why is he here?" Shen Zhihuan raised his eyebrows.
According to the original owner's memory, Su Zijie was a nice person, and his appearance was okay, a bit like a young and handsome man in later generations, but his mother and father...
Thinking of this, Shen Zhihuan curled his lips.
