Ruoshui happily pushed the trolley and followed the woman away, leaving Yang Qixiang and his wife coaxing on the street as the ripe persimmons flew away and their daughter cried and made a fuss.
Ruoshui helped move Persimmon into the back door of a majestic mansion.
The lady in charge had already tasted a persimmon. It was particularly sweet, juicy and soft. It was very delicious, big in size and looked good!
She didn't expect it to be so delicious!
Madam is absolutely happy to see you!
She thought that it would be best to prepare different types of fruits for the little master's birthday party, so she asked: "Did your family grow these persimmons? Are there any others? Are there no other fruits?"
Just as Ruoshui was about to deny it, Ruoxuan had already spoken first: "Also, there are two baskets of persimmons and dates. Old lady, do you want to buy them?"
Weak Shui: "..."
The dates at home are not ripe yet!
When the housekeeper heard this, surprise flashed in her eyes: "Are the dates ripening so early?"
Ruoshui hurriedly said: "A mountain has its seasons, and the weather is different ten miles away. We found these persimmons and dates in the deep mountains. We picked the persimmons back, but the dates are not there yet, and I don't know if there are any. Things in the mountains, Anyone can pick it. If my aunt wants it, we can go into the mountain and have a look. If it is still there, we will pick it and send it over."
Ruoxuan blinked, she seemed to understand something.
The housekeeper was a little disappointed when she heard that there might not be any, but it was understandable that she couldn't tell for sure about things in the mountains: "That's okay! If you go into the mountains and come across any good mountain products, you can bring them over and let me have a look. If they are good, Yes, I want them all! Do you still have two baskets of persimmons at home? Send them to me at this time tomorrow!"
Ruoshui happily responded: "Okay! Thank you, aunt, for taking care of me."
The lady in charge asked people to weigh the two baskets of persimmons. Because the baskets were covered with thatch and tattered cotton-padded jackets, the two baskets of persimmons were not very heavy. They weighed only sixty-nine kilograms in total, less than seventy kilograms.
The housekeeper paid a total of 1,735 cash, and the extra ten cash was used to buy two baskets.
Xianxuan's chubby hands held the money bag and asked happily: "Dad, are we going to buy candied haws on a stick now?"
Ruoshui pushed the cart and said happily: "Yes!"
Ruoxuan started counting on her little fingers: "First buy candied haws, then buy candy figures, then buy mutton skewers, then eat wonton noodles, then tofu curd..."
Ruoshui's smile froze!
No, did he just promise to buy that much?
Ruoshui looked at his wife for help.
Mrs. Liu looked up at the birds in the blue sky and pretended to be deaf and dumb.
She doesn't know, she doesn't know anything!
Weak Shui: "..."
No, Xuan Bao is only three years old! How come you remember it so clearly?
*
Finally, Ruoshui took a trick and took his baby daughter to eat wontons first, and then eat tofu puffs. This way, her daughter's belly was full and she couldn't eat anything else!
For the rest, he would go into the mountains in the afternoon, catch some prey, sell it, and then buy it for Xuan Bao!
In front of the wonton stall, Ruoshui asked Xuanbao and his wife to find a seat while he ordered two bowls of wontons.
About a quarter of an hour later, he came to the table with two bowls of hot wontons, one bowl for his daughter and one bowl for his wife.
Mrs. Liu glared at Ruoshui: "Why did you buy two bowls? I won't eat."
Ruoshui smiled softly and pushed it over: "These wontons are thin-skinned and full of filling. They are delicious. You should try them too."
"I don't want to eat, I don't like to eat. Just eat it!" Mrs. Liu pushed the wonton back to Ruoshui.
"You eat, I'm not hungry. I'm tired of eating before." Weoshui pushed back.
"I don't like to eat, and I'm not hungry either!" You two gave way to each other.
Ruoxuan looked at her parents who were constantly giving in, and then looked at the wontons in front of her and her mother.
She suddenly understood something.
She picked up the small spoon, blew on it, and then fed it to weak water's mouth: "Dad, eat."
Ruo Shui almost cried. He forced back the tears with a smile and touched Ruo Xuan's little head: "If dad is not hungry, Xuan Bao can eat! Xuan Bao and mother can just eat."
Ruoxuan shook her little head and kept raising her short arms: "Eat together, dad eats, mom eats too, and I eat too."
In the end, the couple couldn't resist their daughter, and the three of them divided the two bowls of wontons.
The wontons were so hot that it scorched the hearts of the couple.
After eating the wontons, Ruoshui asked the couple to get on the cart. He pushed the cart and asked Ruoxuan whether to eat candied haws or mutton skewers first.
Ruoxuan patted her belly and shook her head: "I'm full, I can't eat anymore."
She actually wanted to eat, but her parents were reluctant to eat, so what was the point of eating alone?
It’s all the fault of poverty!
She glanced at the scorching sun in the sky and opened her arms to embrace it.
She'd better practice hard, go back and ripen more fruits, and work hard to make money!
At this time, a straw hat came down, blocking her sight.
"Xuan Bao, don't look directly at the sun. Your eyes will get dark when you look at things." Mrs. Liu helped her daughter adjust her straw hat, revealing her delicate, white and pink face.
Ruoxuan pulled off her straw hat: "Mom, I don't want to wear a hat, I want to bask in the sun."
She needs to practice and absorb the essence of the sun and the moon in order to earn more money and buy delicious food.
"If the sun is too strong, you'll get tanned! It won't look good if you get tanned." Ms. Liu went to get her straw hat again.
Xianxuan's little fat paws pressed tightly on the straw hat and shook her little head vigorously: "No, she will become more and more beautiful."
She is a flower. Sun exposure can make people more beautiful and stronger. Every ray of sunshine is useful, and every effort will not be in vain!
Seeing that she was not willing to wear it, Mrs. Liu let it go.
She thought that her daughter was still young and didn't know how to appreciate beauty. When she grew older, she would be afraid of being exposed to the sun. She would rush to wear it without her having to tell her.
Ruoshui still bought candied haws for his daughter and several children at home, and then he went to the grain store to buy grain.
I bought a total of fifty kilograms of chopped grains and two kilograms of pure rice.
Chopped grains are a mixture of various grains and grains, with impurities such as chaff in them, so they are cheap and cost only two cents per pound.
But it doesn’t matter if there are too many impurities. If you buy it and grind it a little, it will be very fragrant when you fry wild vegetable pancakes.
Broken rice is more expensive, costing three cents per pound, but it is relatively clean, just a little broken, and has no impurities. It is bought to make porridge for Xuan Bao.
When Mrs. Liu saw that Ruoshui had bought so much, she couldn't help but said, "Is fifty pounds too much?"
Although I made a little more than one or two today, I still can't use it.
I will take Xuan Bao to the medical clinic soon to see if he is really cured. My elder brother is almost finished with his medicine, so I have to grab two pairs of medicine for him.
"It's not much. New grain will be coming out soon. Now is the cheapest time to buy it. I'm also thinking about buying a few dozen more kilograms tomorrow for winter use. Our harvest this year will definitely not be as good as last year."
Mrs. Liu felt distressed when she thought about the crops in the field: "That's right, this year's rice has been infested with insects once, and now more than half of it looks like empty shells. I don't know if one acre of field can receive a hundred kilograms of grain."
When talking about this matter, both of them couldn't help but feel worried. The rice in the whole village was growing well, but only their family was infested with worms. They didn't know what the evil was.
Seeing Mrs. Liu's brows knit together in worry, Ruoxuan stretched out her chubby hand to smooth her brows: "Dad, mom, don't worry, everything will be fine."
After she returned, she increased the rice production in the fields.
The couple laughed when they heard this: "Xuan Bao is right, everything will be fine!"
Xuan Bao can talk now, what else can stump them now?
Ruoshui pushed the trolley towards the hospital with a brisk pace, feeling that the future was bright.
When passing by an antique shop, Xu Xuan saw a stone and stood up excitedly: "Dad, stop!"
Ruoshui turned around and saw that his legs were weak and he almost knelt down!
