"Then I'll help Auntie pick them up." Chen Zhu said, squatting down and picking up the pieces with his little hands. In no time, his hands were full.
He carried the fruit to Wan Qiqi's side and placed it in her palm.
Wan Qiqi picked out the good ones and put them in the bamboo basket. Then she picked up the rotten ones and said to Chen Zhu, "These rotten ones won't do, they'll give you diarrhea!" As she spoke, she took out the good ones and placed them in front of Chen Zhu. "I want these, they're not rotten."
"Okay." Chen Zhu agreed, ran out for a while, and came back carrying a bunch of fruit.

She gave a professional fake smile and said, "Sure, I'll reward anyone who helps me pick five pounds of sour dates with a cup of sugar water."
"Yay!" a child cheered, but then remembered what his family had told him: don't be too presumptuous in front of Wan Qiqi, or you'll be in trouble if you make her angry!
