Strawberry Bear Cookies

The next day, Song Qiu Sheng came to his sister's house with drawings and asked her to help him choose a place.

Song Shixia was a little nervous: "Do you trust me so much?"

"With your luck, you can even afford to build a public toilet."

Song Shixia joked: "This is just the first time. You will have to pay for it next time."

She opened the blueprint: "Where is the place you chose before?"

Speaking of this, Song Qiusheng became depressed: "The one in the northwest corner."

It was just an ordinary piece of land. She couldn't figure out why it failed.

"Mr. He and I don't have enough experience. They need a stable and reliable developer."

Song Shixia suppressed her laughter and said, "There are many good places. There is no need to focus on this place."

If nothing unexpected happens, this place will be used as a government agency's family building in the future, so wouldn't it be a waste of time for him to buy it back?

"This area is not very good. All the government agencies are here. What are you going to do with it?"

Song Qiusheng shook his head: "Isn't this a good thing?"

Song Shixia patiently explained: "This place is good for their work unit, it's close. What do ordinary people want to live here for? Are they renting it out to people working in government offices?"

Song Qiu Sheng thought so too. He chose this place based on the model of G City.

Song Shixia picked a familiar place and said, "I think we should choose this place. We can buy this piece of land, tear it down and build a shopping mall in a dozen years, and then we can make money without doing anything."

She has never been to the specific place, but judging from the location and blocks on the map, this will be a commercial street where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, and one can become rich by opening a convenience store here.

Song Qiu Sheng looked at her like she was a fool: "You are so bold. I wouldn't even dare to dream of lying down and counting money."

Song Shixia patted his brother's shoulder with an air of condescension: "You can think about it now."

Song Qiu Sheng didn't take it seriously, but the location was indeed okay, not particularly bad, and the key point was that he couldn't pick out which place was better.

Before leaving, Song Qiu Sheng inadvertently glanced at a corner of the yard and thought that the duck soup he drank yesterday was a bit too much.

"You have really nice chickens and ducks. Give me two."

Song Shixia retorted: "Is there any guest like you who comes to visit us? You can eat and take away everything. Just choose it yourself."

Song Qiu Sheng didn't bother to be polite with her: "Next time I'll buy you some chicks and ducklings. Although you're not doing your job properly these days, breeding is still a promising field. Your chicks and ducklings grow fast and their meat is delicious. How about I open a breeding farm for you?"

Song Shixia pushed him out the door: "No, doing business is so tiring, I rely on my brother for success."

Song Qiu Sheng was helpless: "Okay, I'll have one more mouth to feed after supporting my parents and you. I won't let you starve to death."

Song Shixia stretched out her index finger and shook it: "No, I mean, I'll leave the luxury car and mansion to my brother."

"You know a lot. You have a very capable professor at home. You are even good at English. I allow you to dream. Start dreaming tonight."

Song Shixia clenched his fist and encouraged him: "I believe in you, brother, you can definitely lie down and count money and then lead our family to wealth."

Song Qiusheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he felt warm inside. It was hard for his sister to have such confidence in him, he didn't have any confidence in himself.

Aunt Feng came to visit, and Song Shixia invited Aunt Feng and Xiao Yuer to drink soup.

"Mung bean soup, now you can finally go into the house."

Aunt Feng then dared to step into the courtyard. In the past, Xiao Song always tricked her into his house to eat and drink well, so she was too embarrassed to come over to visit.

However, a lot of sugar was added to the mung bean soup, and before Aunt Feng opened her mouth, Song Shixia predicted her prediction.

"You can't have mung bean soup without sugar, right? This is the sweetness of the soup in the pot. Come and have some, Xiaoyuer. I'll bring a pot back for your sister and brother, too, okay?"

The two kids at home couldn't stand the heat and wished they could grow up next to the electric fan. Song Shixia thought it was quite cool and cooked a big pot of mung bean soup for herself to drink slowly.

Aunt Feng drank a big bowl of mung bean soup and felt much refreshed. She shared the gossip of the past two days with Song Shixia.

"Does your foot still hurt? I saw your instep was terribly swollen a few days ago."

Song Shixia smiled and said, "It only looks scary, but it doesn't hurt that much. If it hurt, I would just lie in bed every day and wait for someone to take care of me."

Aunt Feng teased her for a while before saying seriously, "Your bravery has been reported in the newspapers, and the cafeteria and students are discussing it. How can there be such bad people? They should all be arrested and sentenced to death."

She had only heard the general idea a few days ago, but after listening to others discussing the whole process today, she realized how serious the situation Xiao Song was facing at the time, and that even the kidnapper dared to be so arrogant.

Song Shixia said calmly: "When there is profit, there are people who take risks. When the profit is big enough, they lose their humanity."

Aunt Feng sighed and said, "These damned animals, they have their own children and mothers, how can they have the heart to do such a thing."

"By the way, I have changed my opinion of Chen Jiao today. She usually looks dull and not very smart, but she is actually a nice person."

Song Shixia just wanted to talk about something lighthearted: "What happened?"

Aunt Feng leaned in and said, "This matter has something to do with you. Two of the vegetable washers in the cafeteria are relatives of our school's teachers. They are clumsy, greedy, lazy, and always ask for leave. They also want to get close to Professor Ji."

"This morning, the newspaper published your story. Those two girls started gossiping about you behind your back. At first, they just said a few sarcastic remarks, but later they named you. Chen Jiao couldn't stand it and scolded them."

Song Shixia was lying down with a gunshot wound: "Why would they scold me if they like Professor Ji?"

"Of course she's not a good match for me. If she was, I would have introduced her to someone long ago. That girl has pockmarks all over her face and loves to daydream all the time. She might be mentally ill."

Isn’t this an unexpected disaster?

Song Shixia was curious: "What did they say?"

"It's not nice to say that you are uneducated, a country bumpkin, or that you deceived Professor Ji with your looks."

Song Shixia felt distressed: "I am not educated, but I only have a junior high school education. It is not shameful to be from a peasant family. Isn't it said that workers and peasants should unite? Why do they still discriminate against country people?"

"Besides, my face was given to me by my parents. Everyone likes good-looking people, right? If I don't like good-looking people, do I like ugly ones?"

Aunt Feng couldn't help laughing out loud: "I found you to be quite vulnerable, and I like you like this. I thought you were a timid person, with a good temper, and you wouldn't be easily bullied outside."

Song Shixia smiled innocently: "No matter how good my temper is, I will never be a punching bag. Women can't get angry with themselves all the time, it's easy to get hyperplasia and fibroids."

Aunt Feng turned pale with fear: "Is it okay for me to quarrel with others every day?"

Song Shixia comforted her: "You have let out your anger, it's okay."

Aunt Feng advised earnestly: "You should make some friends and don't be bored at home alone. You will be so bored at home when your two children go to school. You and Chen Jiao are from the same place and are about the same age. I will help you to see what kind of person she is. You two people of the same age can have something to say to each other."

Song Shixia ignored it and lived alone at home. Her life would be happier than ever before.

She just didn't expect Chen Jiao to speak up for her. She had an average relationship with Chen Jiao, and since she was helped, she asked Aunt Feng to bring Chen Jiao a pot of mung bean soup in the afternoon to help her cool down.

Ji Yuan hugged her legs: "I...I won't go to school."

Aunt Feng laughed out loud: "Good children, you two are no different from your mother and mother."

Song Shixia put him on his lap and said, "Children should go to school. When you reach my age, you won't have to go to school anymore." When he grows up, he will know that there are some schools that he must attend.

Ji Yuan counted with his fingers crossed, his face wrinkled. He still had many years of schooling to go.

Chen Jiao held the green bean soup sent by Feng Lian in her arms, saying that it was given to her by Song Shixia. She felt complicated. She wanted to build a good relationship with Feng Lian several times. Feng Lian was in charge of logistics in the cafeteria. If she built a good relationship with her, she could buy the leftover meat and vegetables from the cafeteria at a low price. Unfortunately, she was not a pleasing person, and she could not learn to be sweet to please others, so her interpersonal relationships were mediocre. This time, she could not stand the gossip of the two girls and quarreled with them. Feng Lian left a good impression in her heart. She knew that she benefited from Song Shixia.

On the weekend, Ji Ran and his wife Chen Kang came to visit with gifts, accompanied by their two sad sons and Chen Xueyan, who was full of joy.

Along the way, Ji Ran warned him, "Put away your evil thoughts. You still dare to catch cicadas and frogs to scare people. If you scare your aunt, don't even think about getting the New Year's money this year. All the money given by relatives will be confiscated, and you can buy sneakers only after the year after next."

Chen Xuemin protested: "Mom, how come you have become a capitalist exploiting the class and oppressing us ordinary people? It's not fair!"

Chen Xueren followed suit and shouted: "Down with fascism!"

Ji Ran grabbed one of his ears and said, "You want to be beaten, don't you? It's easy for me to beat you two when your grandmother is not here. Don't be embarrassed to be in the street."

"Mom, it hurts, my ear is going to fall off." Chen Xuemin's temper came and went quickly.

Chen Xueren was still trying to be stubborn, and his mother grabbed his ears and made him cry.

"I am your biological mother. What I say is fair. If you want fairness, wait until you grow up."

Chen Xueyan hid behind her father and laughed secretly. Finally, she would not be forced by her brother to help with homework this summer vacation.

Song Shixia received a call from her elder sister that she was coming to visit, so she baked some cookies in advance. The cookies with butter were fragrant and sweet. She personally felt that they were better than peach cakes, which were too dry and fell apart.

The strawberry bear cookies and grape bunny cookies I baked a few days ago were well received by the two little guys.

Song Shixia leaned on a stool and took a box of biscuits from the cabinet. She was puzzled as the box felt lighter. When she opened it, she found that half of the biscuits were gone.

Yes, there is a traitor in the family.

Song Shixia suppressed her fear and said, "How dare you climb up such a high cabinet? It's not like we won't give you food. What if you fall down?"

Ji Yuan raised his head cautiously, "Brother gave me the biscuits because I wanted to eat them, but he didn't eat them."

Song Shixia looked at Ji Yang with both anger and laughter: "Yang Yang, I am relieved that you always protect your brother, but I am very disappointed in you this time."

Ji Yang was at a loss: "I'm sorry."

They are usually very well behaved kids, and I can’t bear to punish them severely.

She sighed deeply: "From now on, you have to eat three pieces a day. You can't eat them secretly. You made a mistake this time. You can't eat biscuits for two days. You have to dictate 30 words every day to make up for it."

Probably because they didn't expect the punishment to be so simple, the two kids took a long time to react.

Song Shixia threatened them: "If you do it again next time, I will stop making cookies."

Ji Yuan said hurriedly: "There won't be a next time."

Ji Yang apologized, but he was still unhappy. She was disappointed in him.

Ji Yuan grabbed his brother's clothes and said, "I'm sorry, brother. I wanted to eat it all."

Ji Yang was not angry with him: "It's our fault for stealing. Next time I'll give you my biscuits. Don't take them secretly, okay?"

"Yeah!" Ji Yuan nodded heavily.
