Chapter 34 Cherry Tomatoes
He stepped in front of the urine bucket two steps and was about to take off his pants when he found Chen Yubin looking at him steadily. Xiaoxi pulled his pants and glared at him, and said sternly: "What are you doing? I didn't see me going to the bathroom. Turn over, tsk, still look?"
Xiaoxi slapped her hands and Chen Yubin quickly turned his head. Humph, he was so fierce, he was clearly the man on TV.
Seeing Chen Yubin turn around consciously, Xiaoxi quickly solved this major life event that could kill people.
Shortly after Xiaoxi sat back on the bed, a sound of footsteps came from the corridor outside the door, "They should be awake." "It was usually time to wake up now." Then the lock on the door was opened, and Chen's mother and Chen's father walked in one after another.
"Xiao Xi Binbin is awake?" As soon as he opened the door, he saw the two children sitting obediently on the bed without crying. Chen's mother felt relieved.
"Mom, we have been awake for a long time. Where have you and Dad been?" Xiaoxi asked with her eyes wide open, looking very innocent.
"Ah?" Chen's mother's pretty face turned red. Her skin was originally very white, but now her white face was covered with red glow. She looked even more cute and charming, making Dad Chen's eyes straight, "Oh, I just went downstairs and turned around, not long after."
Puchi, hahaha, Xiaoxi tried hard to press the little man who was laughing wildly in his heart, pressed down the corner of his mouth that always wanted to raise up, and then pretended to be careless and said, "Oh." It seemed that the answer just now was optional, and the question just now was just a casual talk.
After calming down his emotions, Chen's mother tidied up the bed and locked the door. Chen's father took the three of them out.
Destination - Mahjong Hall.
Chen’s mother and Chen’s father can play mahjong, and they play pretty well. In their previous life, the second aunt always joked about herself, saying that your mother’s old man (that’s what my father meant) was that she could do everything in long-distance mahjong, and you didn’t pick up two tricks. In fact, Xiaoxi could play mahjong, but she was not as slick as they were. Her head was not as quick as they were, and she was only a little simpler.
The mahjong hall that father Chen brought was not big, with only three tables in it. In his previous life, Xiaoxi heard a joke that a plane flew over Cuiyun County and could hear the sound of mahjong playing in the city below. Although it was a bit exaggerated, although Cuiyun County was not big, it was indeed a mahjong table in the corners of Kaka (which means smaller than the corner).
People in the county town live a relatively leisurely life. They basically get up in the morning and go out to eat a bowl of rice noodles and drink a bowl of soy milk. Then they go to the mahjong hall to sit and wait until the street lights are on before going home.
Chen’s father and Chen’s mother gathered together to play mahjong in the stream. The family sat on the same table unless it was during the Chinese New Year and the whole family gathered together, but there were very few couples gathered together.
Before the table was served, Chen's father gave Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin a dollar each and asked them to buy candy, but because they had just eaten a lot of fruits and brought the loquats, they didn't buy snacks.
There was an old color TV in the room, and the "Journey to the West" was playing. Because of boredom, Xiaoxi was watching it with relish. Chen Yubin sat down next to Xiaoxi and watched TV, went to Chen's mother to rub it, and then went to Chen's father to grind it. It was very!
Xiaoxi, who was immersed in the plot, was pulled back by a surprise voice. "Sister, Dad gave me two dollars just now, I'll give it to Xiaoxi." As he said that, he gave a red ticket to Xiaoxi. This is Chen Yubin's biggest advantage. He thinks about his relatives in everything and does not embezzle him. Even if he has no other people's share, he will share what he gets evenly. This has always been the touching point of Xiaoxi.
In the afternoon, I spent 50 cents a while, and the stream saved four or five cents a day. In addition, I saved more than two cents before, I spent more than seven cents a year. This was a rich man in the elementary school group at that time!
Seeing that Chen Yubin came to Chen's mother again, Xiaoxi went out and headed straight to the fruit stall that he had been coveting for a long time.
I bought fruit in the morning, so Xiaoxi probably knew the price. I picked a smaller whole pineapple, a lemon, and a big red Fuji apple for the boss to calculate the money.
When the boss saw that it was a child and bought them one by one, he thought he was curious, but he didn't say much, so he weighed the money one by one and put it in a plastic bag, "It costs 7 yuan and 50 cents in total."
"Auntie, I only have seven yuan in total. Can you think I'm cheaper?" Xiaoxi opened his big gurgling eyes, took out a few wrinkled pieces of money in his pocket, and asked pitifully.
Oh, I am so old, my grandson is so old, and I am so embarrassed to be called an aunt, hahaha. Looking at the wrinkled banknotes in Xiaoxi's hand and his big eyes, the boss's heart was suddenly slapped, "Okay, just give aunt seven yuan." Auntie, hahahaha.
"Ah... Thank you aunt." After giving the money, Xiaoxi took the bag from the boss's hand, then pretended to look at one place inadvertently, picked up a cute little fruit, and asked curiously: "Auntie, what is this! So small and so cute."
The aunt heard it very enjoyed. The boss smiled and looked at the things in Xiaoxi's hand. He said proudly: "This is called cherry tomatoes. I came back from a long distance. It's the only serving in the county town. I've eaten it, and it's so delicious." The boss has eaten it, but it's actually small tomatoes, but the name that people call it is very nice. When it sounds like a high-end product, the boss just calls it that way. But it's really much better than tomatoes.
"Auntie, can you give me two? I haven't eaten it yet." Xiaoxi's eyes were star-shaped, as if the boss had eaten it was amazing.
"That's not possible. This is very expensive. I just gave you 50 cents less." Although I enjoyed being admired by others, I'd better forget it when it comes to money. Small business is not easy.
"Auntie, please, I just want to try it. I haven't eaten it yet. Besides, I have taken care of your business, just give me two to taste the taste." Xiaoxi really used all the ways of acting cute in his previous life.
Seeing someone secretly looking at this place, the boss said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'll give you two, okay?" After that, he pinched up two and put them in the creek bag, and then signaled that the creek could leave.
Seeing that the boss forgot the little tomatoes in his hand, Xiaoxi hurriedly withdrew his hand, "Thank you aunt, then I'll leave, beg you." Then he jogged back, found a corner, put the bag in the space, leaving only an apple and the little tomato in his hand.
As soon as he entered the house, Xiaoxi saw Chen Yubin sitting bored on the bench and falling on his legs. Xiaoxi hurriedly sat next to him.
Seeing that my sister was back, Chen Yubin leaned over to Xiaoxi and said aggrievedly: "Sister, where did you go just now? Don't take me with you."
Xiaoxi raised the big apple in his hand and said, "I saw someone selling apples, so I went to buy apples." Then he handed over the small tomatoes in his hand, "Give it, what I saw at the fruit stall just now, the boss gave me two, which looked a bit like tomatoes, but they were better than tomatoes."
Chen Yubin took it and threw it into his mouth without hesitation. After finishing the meal, he still whispered his lips, yelling "It's delicious". "Sister, where did you buy it? Do you still want to eat it?"
Seeing that Chen Yubin wanted to buy it, but thinking that he had spent almost all the money just now, Xiaoxi quickly said, "It's gone. When I saw it, there were only two left. It was the boss who stayed it himself. When the boss saw that I had never eaten it, he tasted the new one for me."
Chen Yubin pursed his lips, "Oh..."
Xiaoxi quickly raised the big apple in his hand and said, "Look at such a big apple, I'll go find my mother to peel it and eat it."
Chen Yubin's eyes lit up and he said happily: "Well, go and find your mother." After that, he pulled Xiaoxi and walked towards Chen's mother.
"Mom, mom, peel apples for us." Before he could get there, Chen Yubin shouted.
When Chen's mother turned around, she saw Xiaoxi holding a big apple in her hand, and asked in surprise: "Where did you get the apple?"
Chen Yubin replied straightforwardly: "I bought it."
"It was the apples I bought from my father for the money I gave to buy candy." Xiaoxi quickly added.
Seeing that Chen's mother was very busy and had no time, Xiaoxi said, "Mom, find me a knife, I'll cut it myself."
"Can you do it?" Looking at her daughter's little hands, Chen's mother was very suspicious. She borrowed a fruit knife from the owner of the mahjong hall, handed it to Xiaoxi hesitantly, and asked again: "You really cut yourself, you won't cut your fingers, right?"
Xiaoxi took the fruit knife and said, "Oh, no, I can peel the fruit."
Seeing that her daughter was peeling her apples with her fingers raised, she looked very skillful, she threw it aside and focused on playing cards.
Carefully peeled the skin, the stream divided the entire apple into four portions, then dug out the core in the middle, and threw it into the space.
"Hey, take it for dad." Xiaoxi handed Chen Yubin an apple. When he saw him go, he handed it to Chen's mother. Then he gave Chen's fruit knife to her and asked her to return it to the boss. When Chen Yubin came back, the two sat in front of the TV series and started to feast.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker, and father Chen and the others had no intention of getting off the card table. Xiaoxi knew that he would not have to go back tonight, but he pretended to ask his mother, "Mom, how long will we go back?"
Mother Chen said without looking back: "Wait a little longer, we will go back later."
The liar, he went back in a while, and the car was gone now. How could he go back? "Oh." Then he stayed back in front of the TV series.
It was completely dark, but Chen's father and Chen's mother didn't ask whether the two children were hungry or not. Although the two children were eating all afternoon and their stomachs were still bulging at this moment, at least they had to ask, why are you so worried?
