Pei Yang understood his wife's soft-heartedness and kindness, and was willing to fulfill her wish, so he generously sold all the apples in the old farmer's burden.

The two baskets added up to a total of seventy or eighty kilograms, and he could still afford seven or eight yuan.

Unexpectedly, his wife actually wanted to buy more than 1000 kilograms of apples from the old farmer's house.

Even if it's eight cents per catty, it costs over a hundred yuan, which is equivalent to his monthly salary.

What's more, he quit his job and his family's income decreased, so he had to live on a budget.

The old farmer obviously didn't believe that Shen Mingzhu really wanted to buy his apples, and said cheerfully: "Girl, don't joke with me."

Pei Yang immediately agreed, "That's right, wife, I have to rush home after selling the apples. Don't make trouble and be good."

"I didn't make a fuss."

Shen Mingzhu secretly glared at him, turned to the old farmer and said, "I'm serious, I really want to buy your apples..."

Pei Yang opened his palms that were bigger than Shen Mingzhu's face and covered Shen Mingzhu's mouth while apologetically apologizing to the old farmer, "The cold weather has frozen her brain. Don't take it seriously."

"You're just confused!"

Pei Ziheng rushed forward angrily, standing on tiptoes and trying desperately to pull away Pei Yang's hand covering Shen Mingzhu's mouth, while shouting: "Hurry up and let go of mom, or I'll bite you!"

"Mom just wants to buy apples, not a house. You can't bear to spend this little money. Are you still not a man!?"

Pei Yang: "..."

What a bastard, what he said makes sense.

Pei Yang let go, and before he could speak, his wife put her hands on her hips and angrily asked, "Do you not love me anymore?"

"Of course love."

"If you love me, buy me apples!"

Pei Yang was convinced and turned to the old farmer and said, "Uncle, I bought all your apples."

The old farmer stared at him dumbfounded, "Young man, are you kidding me? The apples I have at home weigh at least [-] kilograms. Why did you buy so many?"

"Use it to coax my wife."

Old farmer: "..."

Thank you for stuffing dog food into my mouth knowing that I didn't have dinner.

……

The words were released and the time was agreed upon with the old farmer, but Pei Yang felt as uncertain as Gu Jing.

When he got home, he couldn't help but confirm again and again, "Daughter-in-law, do you really want to buy it? It's more than 1000 kilograms."

Shen Mingzhu looked at him, "Are you a man? What do you want to say?"

Pei Yang: "I didn't say I wouldn't buy them. You have to tell me why you bought so many apples, right? To set up a fruit stall?"

Pei Ziheng, the old man, looked at his father as if he were looking at his cell phone. His pretty face was full of impatience, "Why are you asking so many questions? If mom wants it, just buy it."

Shen Mingzhu was simply fascinated by her son's domineering and gentleness.

If someone's daughter is a little cotton-padded jacket, then her son is made of lamb's wool and is extremely warm.

She hugged her son affectionately and sat on the sofa, resting her chin on his furry head, looking at the man with dazzling almond eyes: "It will be useful if you buy it."

Fine.

For more than 100 yuan, it is worth it to make my wife happy.

At worst, he would try to resell the apples. The quality of the apples was good, and if he chose a better port, it would not be a problem to sell them for [-] cents. He might also be able to earn some pocket money for his wife.

After some secret calculation, Pei Yang's heart returned to reality. When he saw mother and son sitting on the sofa affectionately, he also sat down.

As soon as he sat down, Pei Ziheng looked at him with disdain, "Why don't you go and peel an apple for mom?" Pei Yang choked, "Why don't you go?"

"Of course I want to stay with mom."

"..."

Okay, he is the oldest in this family, so he should pamper the two younger ones.

Shen Mingzhu was secretly amused when she saw Pei Yang angrily holding two big apples and going to the kitchen.

Over the past year, the man's temper and temperament have undergone some changes, and he has become much more generous and tolerant.

The apples are very crisp and sweet, with plenty of juice and a strong apple aroma. They are countless times more delicious than the refrigerated fruits of later generations.

After eating the apple, Pei Ziheng went back to his room to do his homework, while Shen Mingzhu went to the bathroom to wash up.

After washing up, I came out of the bathroom and saw Pei Yang sitting in front of the sofa talking on the phone. He seemed to be looking for someone to borrow a car.

She paused and walked over.

"...Yes, yes, I'll just use it for one day tomorrow, and I'll treat you to dinner when things are done."

After hanging up the phone and not waiting for Shen Mingzhu to ask, Pei Yang took the initiative and said to her: "An old comrade of mine works in a freight company. I asked him to help me borrow a small truck from the unit, and asked him to be a driver for a day. Give him ten yuan for the work fee."

It was their profit to find a small truck for ten yuan. If they went to a freight company to find a truck, it would cost at least twenty yuan.

……

The next day, after going to the factory to arrange work, Shen Mingzhu and Pei Yang got in the truck and went to Uncle Guo's house.

The driver of the pickup truck was called Lao Zhu. In addition to Lao Zhu, Pei Yang also called Shen Chaobei and He Tao together.

Shen Mingzhu didn't say anything, but she felt in her heart that the man was making a fuss out of a molehill. A thousand catties of apples didn't require so many people to move them.

Uncle Guo's home is not far away, but the road is difficult to walk. It is a bumpy dirt road, going over mountains and ridges. The road is bumpy for about [-] miles, and we didn't arrive until almost noon.

The village where Uncle Guo's family is located is called Hongxing Village.

There was only one road into the village, and a small truck similar to theirs was parked at the entrance of the village.

There were many farmers surrounding the truck, carrying or carrying big red apples. It looked like the fruit sellers were harvesting the apples.

Shen Mingzhu was about to go over when she was grabbed by Pei Yang.

"We'll wait until the car is full before we go in."

Looking at the man's angular face, Shen Mingzhu suddenly felt something in her heart.

Uncle Guo said yesterday that the fruit seller only gave four points. If she came here today to collect eight points, wouldn't it be clear that she was going to compete with the fruit seller?

The powerful dragon could not overwhelm the local snake, not to mention that she was not really a dragon, at best she was just an earth dragon.

Just as he was thinking about it, Uncle Guo ran over happily and said, "You are here now. Let's go to my house first. The old lady has already cooked the rice, so we can eat together."

Pei Yang took Uncle Guo aside and asked the price charged by the fruit seller.

Perhaps he was afraid that they would lower the price, so Uncle Guo remained silent and stared at them with a pair of weathered eyes.

Pei Yang explained with a smile: "Uncle Guo, don't worry, the price we agreed on yesterday will remain unchanged, but please do us a small favor."

Hearing that the price would remain unchanged, Uncle Guo hurriedly agreed.

Pei Yang said: "Don't tell anyone about the price we charge for your apples. If anyone asks, just say it's the same as the fruit seller, okay?"

Before Uncle Guo had time to speak, a villager suddenly ran over.

While looking at Pei Yang and his group up and down, he asked excitedly: "Are you the boss who came to collect Uncle Guo's apples? I heard that you charge eight cents? I also have a thousand kilograms at home, so you can collect them together!"
