Chapter 59
Chapter 59 Brother Xiaocheng
The sun is rich, and the dense leaves of the jackfruit tree are hidden by the towering canopy.
The jackfruit fruit does not hang on the branches like ordinary fruits, because its heavy fruit is definitely not something that ordinary branches can bear. Most of them grow on thick trunks and branches. The yellow and orange fruits are accompanied by a few green leaves, which looks very beautiful.
Li Luyou knew that the jackfruit tree was definitely not a tree of life, but he also guessed that the tree of life should be similar to jackfruit, and the life fruit is also such a huge fruit hanging on the branches.
An Nanxiu said that people in the Tianyun Divine Realm were picked from the tree of life. Li Luyou just found it interesting. Now when he saw such a big tree, he thought about it again and couldn't help but stretch out a wonderful feeling. Could it be that he would really pick the jackfruit fruit and cut it open, and a white and tender baby would appear?
"Only the tree of life in the Tianyun Empire Palace will bear the princess fruit. This one won't." An Nanxiu said proudly.
"What are you talking about?" Li Banzhuang couldn't understand what Li Luyou and An Nanxiu were talking about at all.
"An Nanxiu believes that people all jump out of the fruits picked from the trees. She thinks there are children in the fruits on the trees." Li Luyou said with a smile.
Li Banzhuang looked up at the jackfruit tree and couldn't help laughing. Unexpectedly, An Nanxiu was fourteen years old and was still so naive. "When I was in kindergarten, my classmates asked the teacher, how did the children come from, and the teacher asked us to come back and ask my mother, and my brother and I were picked from the tree."
"Well, it was picked from this tree." Li Luyou brought a ladder and prepared to go up and pick a jackfruit down: "I'll pick another brother and sister down."
When An Nanxiu saw that Li Luyou and Li Banzhuang didn't believe him, she raised her head and looked down on her, an ignorant guy.
Li Luyou picked jackfruit with a light cart, with a machete around his waist, first climbed up the ladder, then took the hook rope and threw it on the branches above, and then pulled himself up slowly to step on the branches to prepare to pick jackfruit fruit.
"Brother, be careful." Li Banzhuang pulled An Nanxiu away from the tree. The jackfruit fruit in September and October was the last wave of ripe. Some of them might be smashed down by themselves and were hit by such a big thing worth more than ten or twenty kilograms. They would be seriously injured even if they were not killed.
Li Luyou waved at Li Banzhuang and walked shakingly. Li Banzhuang was frightened when he saw it. Li Luyou fell from above and fell into a coma for a long time. Li Banzhuang would never forget the fear that seemed to have lost his brother.
But when he fell from a height of more than three meters, Li Luyou miraculously woke up, without any trouble, and was jumping around.
Li Luyou cut down a jackfruit, and then cut down all the jackfruits from big bushes. After working hard for more than an hour, there were already piles of jackfruits like hills under the tree.
Li Luyou jumped out of the tree, took the towel handed over by Li Banzhuang, wiped his face, took a sip of water, and said to An Nanxiu: "Do you want to split one for you to see?"
An Nanxiu was a little worried. If they were all children when they split, would Li Luyou take care of them? An Nanxiu didn't want to do this. Li Luyou is her servant, so just take care of her alone.
As for the problem that the jackfruit tree is not a tree of life, An Nanxiu has never considered it. How could she make a mistake?
Li Luyou quickly split one, and where was the child? He peeled a piece of flesh and handed it to An Nanxiu, "Do you eat it?"
An Nanxiu took it and looked around.
"This is how you were when you were a child?" Li Luyou laughed, "Did you do this when you were a child, planting you in the ground and watering you, and then you grow up?"
An Nanxiu's cheeks were red with hot flushing, and she was so angry that she stuffed the flesh into Li Luyou's mouth: "Don't laugh at me, shut up!"
An Nanxiu felt very embarrassed, and she was more confused. Although this tree of life is a little smaller... She still insists that this is a tree of life, not the jackfruit tree mentioned by Li Luyou. This small tree of life can bear fruit, but why are there no children inside?
But if it is really a tree of life, how could it appear here? It has become like this again... Could it be like myself, when I come to the earth, I become an ordinary little girl, and I will flow blood from the cracks in my body, and the tree of life will not give birth to children?
An Nanxiu was puzzled, but finally there was something for her to study and be interested in. An Nanxiu took out a small box and took some of the skin, seeds, flesh, leaves, and branches of the jackfruit and put them in.
Li Luyou called the fruit shop owner and asked someone to collect the last wave of jackfruit fruits.
Jackfruit started to bear fruit in April and May, and until now, the jackfruit picked from this tree has been sold for a lot of money, but the local jackfruit tastes inferior to that in tropical areas. Otherwise, Li Luyou could sell more than 10,000 yuan a year.
Not long after, the owner of the fruit shop in the town sent a car to collect it.
Li Luyou sells the cheap price, which is impossible. After all, it is local, but it can't buy the price. Moreover, the taste is indeed not as good as jackfruit shipped from tropical areas. However, Li Luyou knew that the fruit shop bought his fruit at a low price and did not sell it in the town, but sent it to the big supermarket in the city as tropical jackfruit, earning several times the price difference.
There is no way to do this. Li Luyou does not have such a way, and the fruit shop owner has also opened up the supermarket procurement route. Otherwise, without the certificate of origin or customs declaration documents, these jackfruits would not be sold at high prices.
The person who came was Xu Xiaocheng, the son of the fruit shop owner, and his two young followers. Several of them were chatting in the fruit shop, and the shop owner sent them all to move the fruit.
Xu Xiaocheng is considered a big shot in the town. He has never gone to school after graduating from high school. This is very rare in the local area. After all, people nowadays will not be foolish about studying. It doesn’t matter if they can make a fortune if they have money at home.
When Xu Xiaocheng walked into the yard, he first looked at An Nanxiu blankly. Nowadays, the little girls are all raised in white, tender, and beautiful, but such a arrogant and superior girl is not something that ordinary people can raise, and Xu Xiaocheng has never seen it.
An Nanxiu glanced at him and her lips curled up slightly. Why do these native men have such a disgusting face except Li Luyou?
Xu Xiaocheng is actually not abominable, but he reads little books and makes a lot of things in society. He always has a frivolous temperament. He would not ask for trouble for An Nanxiu's cold look.
His eyes quickly fell on Li Banzhuang. Since Li Banzhuang went to high school, he rarely appeared here. Xu Xiaocheng is even rarer. He did not expect that Li Banzhuang, who is still weak in junior high school, is now so charming, especially his body with a combination of innocence and roundness, which made Xu Xiaocheng and the other two feel excited.
They are not good kids like Li Luyou. Nowadays, many high school students have had relationships with each other, let alone people who have entered society.
"Li Zi, come back to see your brother Xiaocheng. Let's go to my house to play later." Xu Xiaocheng walked towards Li Banzhuang with a smile, rubbed his hands and walked towards him.
"Did you call Li Zi?" Li Banzhuang sneered.
Li Luyou frowned and walked over, letting Xu Xiaocheng stay away from Li Banzhuang. When Xu Xiaocheng was a child, he had bullied him and Li Banzhuang a lot. Li Luyou has been taller and stronger than others since he was a child, but his fists are hard to match with four hands. Xu Xiaocheng has always been used to forming cliques.
"Your brother can't shout, but I can't shout it?" Xu Xiaocheng didn't mind, and he was still smiling. He knew that Li Banzhuang had a temper. The little girl was not actually a docile person, but it was because of this that Xu Xiaocheng liked it very much, and it was very interesting.
"You shout and try again." It's not like when she was a child. Now Li Banzhuang is still used to relying on her brother and following her brother to enjoy the peace of mind brought by his protection. But sometimes she also has enough confidence to solve the problem by herself, otherwise she wouldn't be alone with Yang Jingxin, who knew she had inappropriate thoughts about her.
"Li Zi!" Xu Xiaocheng winked and shouted intimately. He reached out to pull Li Banzhuang, "Let them move fruits, Brother Xiaocheng will take you to play."
Li Luyou grabbed Xu Xiaocheng's hand and said coldly: "Xu Xiaocheng, your father didn't ask you to make trouble."
"It's all neighbors, and it's rare to come back once. It's not reasonable to not go to the house to sit." Xu Xiaocheng struggled for a while, but he couldn't break free. He knew that Li Luyou was very strong, and he didn't care much. He didn't believe that Li Luyou dared to do anything to him. "You want my family to take care of your brother and sister for so many years, so you can't be ungrateful."
"Take care of our brothers and sisters for many years? Haha, I bought our jackfruit one or two dollars and sold it to the supermarket for four or five dollars. Do you really take care of us?" Li Banzhuang was also very clear. She had been used to being in the cold and cold relationship with her brother since she was a child. She still remembered that once her brother wanted to raise the price 50 cents. The fruit shop owner bullied the brothers and sisters with little strength and had no way to deal with a pile of jackfruit accumulated in the yard. Not only did she not agree to raise the price, she also had to buy it at a lower price.
It was the beginning of school at that time, and both brothers and sisters had to spend money, so they finally had to agree to a discounted purchase.
"Is that so? Then we don't want these jackfruits anymore, you can pile them up." While Li Luyou was slacking off, Xu Xiaocheng fell away Li Luyou's hand and said with a sneer. He didn't believe that the Li brothers and sisters could fight him.
Li Luyou laughed. Actually, it is much more relaxed now than before. Although he worked harder, the opportunities and time for college students to make money far exceed those of high school students. He no longer has to pay too much attention to the money selling jackfruit.
"Let's go!" Xu Xiaocheng called his two followers to leave. He was stunned when he left the yard. The small truck driving over disappeared without a trace.
An Nanxiu stood at the door of the yard. The wind blew, revealing her two thin calves. She was poking the ant crawling around the wall with a dog-tail grass.
"Little sister, have you seen the car just now?" Xu Xiaocheng was shocked and worried. The car disappeared. If it was lost, he would be beaten to death by his father when he went back.
"You bought those life fruits, and you need a hundred popsicles per pound. I will tell you if I have seen them." An Nanxiu was putting the milk candy on the wall, preventing any ant from approaching, and they were so anxious that they were spinning around.
What a boring little girl. Xu Xiaocheng saw her doing such a thing and made a judgment in his heart. This kind of girl is probably difficult to communicate with. He said with a smile: "You want a hundred popsicles, right? As long as you tell your brother, I will buy it for you right away?"
"Brother? Do you want to die?" An Nanxiu turned her head, looked at Xu Xiaocheng in confusion, and waited for his answer seriously.
