Chapter 14

"What kind of fruit is this? It looks a bit like a cherry."

Qin Bin threw the cherries into his mouth, and the sweetness with a hint of sour taste made him, who likes sweet and sour things, sigh with satisfaction in his heart.

"This is called a cherries, you can also call it a big cherry, what do you think of the taste?"

Shen Zhihuan, who was squatting next to the basket, stuffed several cherries into his mouth as he spoke.

Qin Bin frowned, and when Shen Zhihuan's hand reached out to the basket again, Qin Bin quickly picked up the old clothes that Shen Zhihuan had left aside and put them on the basket.

"Are you here to discuss business or to eat fruit?!" Qin Bin glanced at the cherries at Shen Zhihuan's feet, and said angrily.

"Let's talk! Talk about what you want." Shen Zhihuan withdrew his hand, without a trace of embarrassment on his face.

"Apart from the cherries and lychees, what else do you have?" Qin Bin whispered.

"As long as the price is right, I can get summer fruits, it depends on the price you give." Shen Zhi laughed and shrugged.

Qin Bin thought for a while, "Apples, peaches, watermelons, plums, apricots are worth [-] cents, lychees, cherries, I'll give you two yuan a catty, what do you think?"

"The cherries cost at least four yuan." Shen Zhihuan curled his lips, and shook his index finger twice.

"No, four yuan is too high." Qin Bin vetoed it in a second.

What a joke.

No matter how rare this cherries are, they can't be taken for a ride!

The best fat meat is only six cents a catty, four yuan, you can buy six catties of fat meat, enough for the whole family to have a good meal.

Shen Zhihuan: "Then let's each make a concession, three yuan and five yuan, no less."

"Three yuan, no more." Qin Bin gritted his teeth.

Shen Zhihuan frowned pretendingly and pondered for a long time, finally sighed softly, "Okay! Three yuan is three yuan."

"..."

Qin Bin's heart skipped a beat.

I feel like I've fallen into a pit.

Seeing that it was getting late, the two agreed on the time and place to pick up the goods tomorrow, and Shen Zhihuan took the back basket and stepped on the bus back to the town.

As for the rice noodles, vegetable oil, brown sugar, soap, seagull shampoo, etc. that she exchanged from Qin Bin, they were all thrown into the resort when she stepped out of the small courtyard.

If it weren't for the fear of scaring her new mother and new brother by buying too many things at once, she would also like to buy them some new clothes, and she would also like to buy them some more cans of milk powder and malted milk.

When passing by the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, Shen Zhihuan couldn't hold back, and bought a few more catties of leftover ribs picked by others.

Walk and rest all the way.

Not long after entering the village, Shen Zhihuan's eyes felt sore when he saw two figures, one tall and one short, at the gate of his courtyard from afar.

In the past, every time she came home late, her grandparents would stand at the door like this.

Later, grandpa and grandma disappeared, and there was no one waiting for her at the door...

"Third Sister!" The sharp-eyed Xiao Weidong saw Shen Zhihuan at the end of the path at a glance, and ran towards Shen Zhihuan bouncing around.

Li Qiuhua saw it and quickly followed.

Shen Zhihuan lowered his head to calm down, and quickened his pace to meet him.

"Third sister, I earned two work points today and helped Xiaohua and Xiaohe catch a bamboo tube caterpillar. Do you think Xiaohua and Xiaohei will lay eggs tomorrow?" Xiao Weidong said happily.

"Yes! I will!" Shen Zhi smiled happily and rubbed Xiao Weidong's round head.

One work point is five cents, and two work points is ten cents. These days, fruit candy costs two cents, a pencil costs one cent, a box of matches costs two cents, and steamed buns cost five cents each. Money can really buy a lot of things.

"You're tired!" Li Qiuhua looked Shen Zhihuan up and down, seeing that there was nothing wrong with her, he reached out to pick up the basket behind Shen Zhihuan.

The next moment, she was completely shocked by the weight of her hand.

"Mother, it's only a few steps away." Shen Zhihuan squeezed Li Qiuhua's hand, glanced at the men and women who were washing clothes by the river not far away, and signaled her to go home before talking.

Li Qiuhua withdrew his hand a little nervously, and walked home side by side with Shen Zhihuan stiffly.

Xiao Weidong happily rushed forward.

As soon as the three of them entered the courtyard, Li Qiuhua closed the courtyard door with a "snap", not only dropped the bolt, but also found a big wooden stick with the thickness of a bowl from the pile of firewood next to the courtyard door and pushed it against the courtyard door.

Shen Zhihuan stared dumbfounded at Li Qiuhua's frantic operations, even Xiao Weidong realized something was wrong, and quietly stood beside Shen Zhihuan.

"Mother, what are you doing?" Shen Zhihuan couldn't help whispering.

"Go back to the house first." Li Qiuhua glanced outside through the gap in the courtyard door with some anxiety.

It wasn't until the main room door was closed that Li Qiuhua, who was uneasy, said, "What's in your basket?"

Wild vegetables can't bear this weight.

Shen Zhihuan lifted off the tattered clothes that covered it, and took out the rice noodles and the five big meat buns. As for the vegetable oil, she thought about it and threw it back to the resort.

"Where did you get these...things?" Li Qiuhua looked at the snow-white refined flour and shiny rice, and was so frightened that he couldn't speak.

"I sold my hair at the market, I bought it." Shen Zhihuan didn't blush and her heart didn't beat.

While speaking, Shen Zhihuan unwrapped the oil paper wrapped with meat buns, took one and handed it to Xiao Weidong.

I don't know if it's because they have been kept in the resort, but the meat buns are still warm.

"Bun!" Xiao Weidong's eyes lit up.

"Eat it!" Shen Zhihuan lightly scratched Xiao Weidong's nose.

"Third sister, I'm not hungry, you eat." Xiao Weidong swallowed with his mouth open, and put his hands behind his back.

"Sister has already eaten, these are reserved for you and mother, eat quickly!" Shen Zhihuan forcefully stuffed the buns into Xiao Weidong's hands.

Saying that, Shen Zhihuan stuffed another meat bun like a small grapefruit into Li Qiuhua's hand.

"Mother is not hungry, save these for you to eat at night." Li Qiuhua wanted to put them back immediately, as if his hand had been burned by a meat bun.

"Mother!" Shen Zhihuan called out in a deep voice, and frowned.

"Mother is really not hungry." Seeing that the girl was not happy, Li Qiuhua said cautiously.

"Anyway, I've already eaten, mother is not hungry, it would be a bad day tomorrow, so I might as well take it out and throw it away now." Shen Zhihuan stood up, making gestures to make a move.

"Little ancestor, mother eats, mother eats, isn't it okay?" Li Qiuhua grabbed Shen Zhihuan.

Finally, under Shen Zhihuan's supervision, all five big meat buns went into the stomachs of Li Qiuhua and Xiao Weidong. Originally, Li Qiuhua wanted to leave two for Shen Zhihuan to eat at night, but Shen Zhihuan stared back.

"Third sister, Su Zijie came to our house today." When Li Qiuhua went to Su Changjiang's house with Su Ziyu's eight cards of unity, Xiao Weidong leaned into Shen Zhihuan's ear and whispered.

"Why is he here?" Shen Zhihuan raised an eyebrow.

According to the memory of the original owner, Su Zijie is still a good person, and his appearance is not bad, he is a bit of a creamy kid from later generations, that is his mother and father...

Thinking of this, Shen Zhihuan pouted.
