Wang Xiaohei walked quickly outside the house.
"Cousin Xu, why are you here? I said I would come back to you later."
"No worries, Xiao Hei, what's the matter?" Xu Huaqing said straight to the point.
Wang Xiaohei also directly told Xu Huaqing that he wanted to buy persimmons.
"Oh, so it's the persimmon? I thought it was something. Xiaohei, if you want to eat persimmons, just pick them yourself. You don't need to tell me." Xu Huaqing said with a smile.
"Uncle Xu, that's not possible. I want to buy all the persimmons on your tree." Wang Xiaohei said with a smile.
"Xiao Hei, don't be joking. Don't you have persimmons at home? Besides, what do you want to do with these many persimmons?" Xu Huaqing said with a look of disbelief.
"I'm serious, Cousin Xu, I just want to buy all your persimmons. I'm useful." Wang Xiaohei said with firm eyes.
"Are you serious? Xiaohei, do you really want to buy all my persimmons?" Seeing Wang Xiaohei's firm eyes, Xu Huaqing asked dubiously.
"What I said is true. Cousin, just sell me all the persimmons in your family. Don't worry, we will follow the market price." Wang Xiaohei continued.
"Don't make fun of your cousin, Xiaohei, let's do this. If you want to eat persimmons, you can pick them from the tree yourself. If you really want to buy persimmons, let your grandparents come. If there is nothing else, , I will leave first, there are still many ways to survive at home." Xu Huaqing said as he turned around.
There was no other way. Seeing that Xu Huaqing didn't believe his words at all, Wang Xiaohei didn't bother too much and could only sit there and think of other solutions.
Wang Xiaohei knew that although he was telling the truth, he was still a child in the eyes of others, so what he said would not be taken seriously at all.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaohei understood that the only way to do this was to ask Wang Dadian and Yue Xiuli to help him buy persimmons.
After Wang Dadian and Yue Xiuli came back from their farm work, Wang Xiaohei told everything about what had just happened, and expressed the hope that Wang Dadian and Yue Xiuli would come forward to help him buy persimmons.
Although the two of them hesitated after hearing this, seeing that Wang Xiaohei was in a low mood, they agreed to Wang Xiaohei's request.
Then, Wang Xiaohei took out some money and gave it to Wang Dadian.
As before, Wang Dadian chose the Xu Huaqing family first.
"Hua Qing, are you at home?" Wang Dadian shouted.
Seeing that there was no movement in the room, Wang Dadian prepared to come back later.
Just when the two were about to turn around and leave, they saw Xu Huaqing carrying a bamboo basket on his back, which was filled with grass, and appeared in the dark sight with a hoe in his hand.
Xu Huaqing saw Wang Dadian coming and greeted him warmly to come in and sit down.
Under the dim yellow light, Xu Huaqing's skin looked darker. Even his rough hands were cracked. His fingernails were filled with black mud. His feet were wearing a pair of simple, worn-out shoes. The rubber shoes were covered with dust.
Wang Dadian and Xu Huaqing sat on the stools and chatted for a while. Then they went directly to the topic and expressed their thoughts.
When Xu Huaqing saw Wang Dadian coming in person, he must have really wanted to buy his own persimmons, so he agreed to Wang Dadian at that time.
Then, Xu Huaqing took out all the persimmons he had picked. The persimmons were carried in a snakeskin bag, and the mouth of the bag was tightly tied with a rope.
Xu Huaqing said while untying the rope: "Cousin, Xiao Hei just told me to buy persimmons. I thought he was joking at the time. I just picked the persimmons in the morning and they are very fresh."
"It's no big deal, you weigh me a lot, Hua Qing." Wang Dadian said with a smile.
"Forget it, cousin, you can just estimate it, no need to weigh it." Xu Huaqing said with a naive smile.
"That won't work, Hua Qing. It's better to take out the scale and weigh it quickly. I won't let you suffer a loss." Wang Dadian immediately refused.
"Yes, cousin, just take out the scale and weigh it." Wang Xiaohei also agreed.
Then, Xu Huaqing took out a steelyard. The steelyard is mainly composed of a scale beam, a scale weight, a scale rope, a scale pan and a scale hook. The scale beam is inlaid with a metal scale star for measurement.
Soon, Xu Huaqing finished weighing the persimmons in the snakeskin pocket, and Wang Dadian gave the money to Xu Huaqing according to the market price. Then, Xu Huaqing packed the persimmons in a basket and delivered them to Wang Xiaohei's home.
Looking at the persimmons in front of him, Wang Xiaohei also had a smile on his face. After a while, the smile on Wang Xiaohei's face gradually disappeared, because these persimmons were still a little short of what he needed.
Early the next morning, Wang Dadian took Wang Xiaohei to another store in the village to buy persimmons.
"Yue Hualan, are you in the house?" Wang Dadian stood on the edge of the field behind Yue Hualan's house and shouted loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a burst of dog barking coming from Yue Hualan's home, and it was getting closer and closer to him.
Soon, Wang Dadian and Wang Xiaohei saw a black dog appearing in front of them and barking non-stop.
Upon seeing this, Wang Dadian immediately bent down to pick up a clod of soil from the field, held it tightly in his hand, and pretended to throw something at the black dog.
In this way, Wang Dadian and Wang Xiaohei were in a stalemate with the black dog in Yue Hualan's house.
Suddenly, a voice came from not far away.
"go back."
Wang Dadian looked up and saw that the person coming was none other than Yue Hualan.
"Cousin, where did you come from? Come and sit in the room." Yue Hualan said.
Arriving at Yue Hualan's home, Wang Dadian explained his purpose straight to the point.
In the impressions of Wang Dadian and Yue Xiuli, Yue Hualan was a kind-hearted person who was kind to others and had never had any quarrels with others.
As soon as Wang Dadian finished speaking, Yue Hualan said directly: "I'm sorry, cousin, I don't have many persimmons in my house this year, so I just want to keep them for myself. Otherwise, you should go to other people's houses and take a look."
Hearing that Yue Hualan rejected him, Wang Dadian took Wang Xiaohei and left.
Then, Wang Dadian took Wang Xiaohei and walked elsewhere.
However, none of these people were willing to sell the persimmons to them, as if they had discussed it in advance.
Wang Dadian and Wang Xiaohei were a little confused when they returned home. They obviously still had a lot of persimmons on their trees, so why were they unwilling to sell them to themselves? They usually paid attention to being kind to others and would not have any conflicts with them at all. .
Just when the two of them were confused, Xu Huaqing next to them came to Wang Dadian's home again.
Xu Huaqing's next words solved Wang Dadian and Wang Xiaohei's doubts.
It turned out that these people saw Wang Xiaohei buying a bicycle, so they thought that Wang Xiaohei's parents must have made a lot of money outside, so these people were a little jealous, so they were unwilling to sell their persimmons to them.
At this moment, Wang Xiaohei finally understood!
