The three of them were very satisfied with the meal. After paying the bill, Su Qinghu hesitated between saying goodbye to Old John and taking the opportunity to provoke Lin Jiachu. In the end, he didn't want to ruin the pleasure brought by the food, so he left a message at the cashier and took the children home.
After getting off the car and walking home, Dadan and Erdan followed Su Qinghu's pace, walking slowly, with satisfied and leisurely expressions. The old man was almost done with his stroll.
Su Qinghu quickly broke the leisurely mood and shouted, "Uncle! Uncle! The uncle selling cherries! Over here!"
When she called out, Dadan and Erdan looked over quickly. There was an old man pushing a 28-inch bicycle with a basket on the back seat and two more hanging on each side. The basket was covered with withered cherry branches and leaves, but you could still make out what they were.
When the old man heard someone shouting, he pedaled and flew over.
He has been selling these three baskets of cherries from morning till now, going from street to street all day, and some are still left.
The cherries were delicate, and after being picked and touched, they didn't look very good, and they didn't taste very good either. He picked out the bad ones, leaving about three or five pounds of good ones, and prepared to sell them all before going home. But by this time, there were people asking about the price, but no one was really interested in buying.
Just when I was thinking of giving up and going home, someone called me.
"If you're serious about buying it, I'll give it all to you at one price." The old man paused and smiled naively, "Four and a half pounds, that's four pounds for you, and you can just give me three dollars."
Su Qinghu took a closer look at the cherries and nodded, "We don't have bags to put them in..."
Before he could finish his words, the old man took out a small wicker basket from the fertilizer bag hanging on the handlebars.
"I made this little basket myself. It's free."
Su Qinghu nodded readily, "Then I'll take all the remaining cherries."
The old man quickly filled the bowl with cherries. Su Qinghu reached out to Dadan and Erdan and said, "Is it okay for you to treat me to some cherries?"
They made some money taking photos for tourists during this period, which was more than enough to treat her to cherries.
Dadan and Erdan looked at each other, didn't struggle, and took out the money directly.
The old man packed the cherries, and Dadan and Erdan each contributed one dollar and fifty cents and handed the money over.
The old man was overjoyed and said "good" several times. Then he got on his bike and rode away with a smile.
Who would have thought that all three baskets of cherries would be sold out in one day!
Su Qinghu didn't expect that he could buy cherries. He carried the small basket and walked home happily.
It can be said that everyone is happy.
Dadan and Erdan couldn't say whether they were happy or not. The weather was getting warmer and there were more things to eat. They were used to paying for things, so they didn't feel much.
"Do you want to put it in the refrigerator and eat it fresh, or eat half fresh and make the other half into jam?" Su Qinghu turned his head and asked.
Dadan opened the door, and Erdan answered the question, "How about the three of us? One pound each? Or how about sharing two pounds to send to grandma and grandpa?"
Su Qinghu saw Dadan open the door and walked in while saying, "How about this, bring some to Duoduo tomorrow."
As for my in-laws, I'll have to get up early tomorrow to do some grocery shopping and see if they have any fresher cherries. If not, I'll buy them a few pounds of red bananas and apples.
Well, send one to my great aunt too.
"Why bring it to him?" Erdan's eyebrows immediately knitted together, and he shouted confidently, "If he wants to eat it, just ask his mom to buy it for him!"
Su Qinghu paused, turned around, and looked at him with raised eyebrows.
Erdan pursed his lips and turned his head away, avoiding her sight. Then he thought of something and awkwardly met her gaze, without saying a word, just looking at her.
At this moment, the only four words in Su Qinghu's mind were "arrogant because of being favored".
She wasn't angry, as it was harmless for children at this stage to be a little possessive. She just thought it was funny.
The child... is inexplicably cute~
Dadan couldn't bear to see this, so he sighed imperceptibly and said, "...two days ago, you just ate the hawthorn cake he brought you."
Even if we are not as close as brothers, even if we do not treat each other as relatives, there is still the fine Chinese tradition of "reciprocity", right?
Erdan: "Annoy him!"
These days, that little kid has been buzzing in his ear every day, insisting that he also take the fifth-grade exam with his brother. If he does well, they can go to junior high school together...
Who wants to go to junior high school with my brother?
Wouldn't it be nice to have no one to supervise you? By staggering your studies by a year, you can have a carefree year in middle school and high school. Why would you be so upset and hang out with your brother?
Su Qinghu: "Put the cherries in the refrigerator. The decision is up to you. It's up to you whether to send them or not."
She went to the kitchen, and Dadan opened the kitchen door for her first, then opened the living room door, turned on the electric fan, and poured three glasses of cold white wine on the table.
Erdan picked up a cup and drank it in one gulp. Dadan looked at him and said, "Remember to wash your hands."
After saying that, he went to the bathroom to wash his hands.
When I came back, Su Qinghu was sitting on the sofa with a bowl in his arms, eating cherries from the bowl in a very unpresentable manner.
"One bowl per person." Su Qinghu raised his hand and pointed at the table.
On the table, two white porcelain bowls were filled with juicy cherries, with some small water droplets still on them.
Dadan took a bowl and sat at the other end of the sofa.
After eating a few cherries, he couldn't help but look at Su Qinghu, "You..."
Su Qinghu looked over and blinked, "What?"
"Could you be more careful when you sit down?" Dadan pursed his lips, "You're squeezing the baby."
Su Qinghu paused while pinching the cherry in her hand, lowered her head to look at her belly, then looked at her sitting posture, "...Is everything okay?"
She was puzzled. “I didn’t even feel my stomach was squeezed.”
Just curled up on the sofa.
Dadan put down the bowl, picked up a soft pillow and handed it to her, "Here you go."
Su Qinghu sighed, took it, and stuffed it behind his back.
Okay, what else can I do? Just do it.
Anyway, the pillow is soft enough and it won’t affect her movements when placed on her lower back.
Erdan hurriedly washed his hands and ran over, picked up the only bowl of cherries left on the table, squeezed in between the two of them, and when he saw that it was spacious enough, he moved closer to Su Qinghu.
Su Qinghu was used to it, so the three of them held their bowls, each eating their own food, and they were having a great time.
After slowing down, Erdan sighed, "Alas."
Su Qinghu and Dadan paused, but didn't look at each other.
After all, even if he didn't look at me, he would start his performance next.
Erdan: "I feel like our family is missing something right now."
"What's missing?"
"There's something missing that can make us laugh."
Su Qinghu:...Okay, you’re planning to take over the TV again.
"Something that makes us laugh?" she asked, looking at him.
Erdan nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, yes! Mom, have you figured out what it is?"
"I thought of it." Su Qinghu nodded seriously. In Erdan's happy eyes, she slowly opened her mouth, "You."
Erdan: “What???”
"With you here, we have no lack of happiness." Su Qinghu looked at him with sincerity, which was enough to make him see her sincerity.
Erdan: “…”
