Cherries are relatively expensive fruits, but there are many people on the street, and the coming and going is very lively. The cherries Li Shichu put out were big, red and juicy, and in excellent quality. Therefore, not long after they were put out, someone came up and asked price.
Because they were produced in her own growing space, she did not price the cherries too high. After someone asked about the price, they thought they were too expensive and did not buy them. However, most of the people who came up to ask for the price bought them, so soon, the cherries in her basket were The cherries were decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. After more than an hour, all the cherries were sold out, and Li Shichu had more than 3,000 yuan in his hand.
When she came out of the house, she didn't have a penny in her hands. The original owner's uncle and aunt even deducted her food rations, so how could they give her pocket money? So she was literally penniless.
But now that I have some money from selling cherries, I can temporarily find a place to stay or simply use it as fare to go to other places.
Li Shichu suddenly remembered that the uncle of the original owner, whose supercilious son was envious and jealous, was in the capital. Then she might as well go to the capital.
So she used the three thousand yuan to buy a train ticket and went directly to the capital.
Three months later, she has opened a fruit shop in the capital, right next to the community where she rented. Although the rent is a bit more expensive, fortunately, she has a lot of precious fruits in her space, which she sells together with the fruits purchased from the ordinary market. There are both high-end and ordinary fruit types, which can meet the needs of various customers. Therefore, the business is very good, enough for her to pay the store rent and house rent.
In her previous life, the situation in the country was tense. Although she lived a pretty good life, she was still under some psychological pressure. She had to pay attention to the war situation, often help relatives and friends on the battlefield, and rescue refugees from time to time. She could not be too comfortable and leisurely. , so Li Shichu planned to live a more relaxed life in this life, as long as he could support himself, and he didn't want to put all the responsibilities on himself.
"Sister, I, I want to buy strawberries..." A milky voice sounded at the door of the store, and then a chubby girl about three years old with three heads walked in. The chubby girl was also carrying a small schoolbag from kindergarten. .
Li Shichu looked behind her and saw no adults, so he asked her: "Yuyou, which adult in your family went to pick you up from the kindergarten today? Why didn't you see anyone?"
Youyou slowly turned around and glanced behind you. Sure enough, she didn't find you, so she frowned and said unhappily: "My uncle picked me up. Oh, he must have lost his way and didn't even follow me. Your Excellency is really disobedient……"
When Li Shichu heard her words, he couldn't help but want to laugh. This little fat girl pretending to be an adult was so funny.
She rubbed her little head with two sky-high braids and said, "Then do you want to call your uncle?"
"No!" The little fat girl immediately shook her head and said, "He will go home by himself." After saying that, she stared straight at the strawberries Li Shichu placed on the shelf, then put down her little schoolbag and held her chubby hands He reached into his schoolbag and dug out. After digging for a long time, he took out a few crumpled bills.
"Sister, I want to buy strawberries. Do you have enough money?" The little fat girl handed the crumpled bills to Li Shichu and asked expectantly.
Li Shichu took the banknotes and counted them. One was twenty yuan, one was five yuan, and one was one yuan. It was enough to buy half a catty, so he said to the little fat girl: "Enough to buy a dozen." .”
"Wow! That's great!" The little chubby girl jumped up with joy, clapped her hands and smiled so hard that she couldn't even see her teeth.
Li Shichu went to get a dozen big red strawberries, packed them and handed them to her.
After the little fat girl took it, she picked one up and was about to put it into her mouth. Li Shichu quickly stopped her: "You have to wash it first before you can eat it!"
The little fat girl was immediately embarrassed. She looked at those big strawberries eagerly, looking like she wanted to eat them but was worried about them. When Li Shichu saw her tangled look, he sighed and said, "Sister, I'll help you wash them."
"Thank you, sister!" The little fat girl suddenly became happy and couldn't wait to hand the strawberries to Li Shichu. Li Shichu had to go get the water and help her clean the strawberries.
When Li Shichu brought the strawberries to the small table, the little fat girl eagerly grabbed one and stuffed it into her mouth. But her mouth was too small and she couldn't stuff it in, so she had to take it out again, took a bite, and then narrowed her eyes. With her eyes, she enjoyed the sweetness of the strawberry: "It's so delicious..." she sighed.
She ate several strawberries in one go, and her mouth was stained red with strawberry juice, as was her chin. Li Shichu wiped her with a tissue. Seeing that she was about to finish the strawberries, Li Shichu had to ask her: "Yuyou, what are you doing?" Is uncle so unreliable? He hasn't come to see you for so long?"
"Hmm, mom also said that uncle is unreliable..." Youyou agreed with Li Shichu while biting a strawberry.
"Okay! Little fat girl, you said bad things about me, were you caught by me?" At this time, a steady and magnetic male voice suddenly came from the door, and then a tall and straight man came in.
This man was so tall that he almost filled the doorway of Li Shichu's fruit shop. The light was blocked by his figure, and the store immediately became much darker.
"Uncle!" Youyou shouted in surprise, but when she realized what her uncle said, she felt a little guilty, "Uncle, I, I didn't say anything bad about you, it was my mother who said it..."
"Hehe, little fat girl, you are quite good at making excuses." After the man came in, he rubbed the little girl's head, then looked at the half-bitten strawberry in her hand, and said, "Little greedy cat, there are so many at home. Why don’t you eat strawberries and insist on eating them from outside?”
When Youyou heard what he said, she immediately said confidently: "The ones at home are not as delicious as the ones sold here by my sister!"
"How is that possible? The strawberries at your home are all top-quality fruits imported from abroad. How come they can't compare to the ones at the gate of this community?" The man didn't believe what his niece said at all.
Li Shichu became a little unhappy when he heard his arbitrary and arrogant words. Are imported fruits better than domestic ones? Has he eaten all the fruit varieties in the country? He dares to say that?
The strawberries she sold to Youyou happened to be produced in her own space. She was sure that they were definitely more delicious than the imported strawberries, so she said to Uncle Youyou expressionlessly: "Sir, why don't you try the strawberries here first?" Say more?"
The man was stunned for a moment, and seemed to finally realize that what he just said could easily offend a fruit shop owner, so he apologized quickly and said, "I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing."
"Uncle! You are so bad. Don't you always say that if there is no hanging spring, there will be no hair ties? You have never eaten the strawberries from my sister's place, how can you say it is not delicious?" The little fat girl also criticized angrily. Her uncle.
When Li Shichu heard the little fat girl's words, he was a little confused. What about hanging springs and hair ties?
