At this moment, a fruit wholesale market in the suburbs.
In the Dahong Fruit Wholesale Store, the fruit vendor counted the items and the man paid promptly, while he couldn't help but look up at the sign:
"Brother! Your signboard name is so prosperous! When I first came here to look at the goods, I couldn't even remember the location after walking around. It was like a flood in my mind!"
Then he dived in!
I didn't expect the product to be so good and the price to be so attractive. The boss is a very honest person. We have been cooperating for many years...
That's it...
"The watermelon market is pretty good recently. If we have those premium watermelons, let's get some more!"
"Watermelon works again?" Wu Fang asked curiously.
Zhang Hong was also puzzled: "We bought a batch of watermelons in early summer and sold them for a long time... This year, it seems that everyone is buying Yunqiao watermelons, and ordinary premium watermelons are not selling well."
There are only a few people who are willing to spend money. In summer, some people eat watermelons that cost 80 cents a pound, while others eat watermelons that cost 8 yuan a pound... But ever since the Yunqiao watermelon came out, it seems that rich people no longer like ordinary fine products.
The fruit vendor quickly said, "The production of that store is not good, and now it is out of stock. It can be sold!"
Wu Fang and Zhang Hong looked at each other and said happily: "Okay! It will arrive the day after tomorrow!"
Zhang Yanping had just returned when he heard the couple mumbling, "How come Yunqiao watermelon is only 20 yuan a pound? And so many people are buying it?"
"Who knows? There are many rich people. If you ask me, Tantan's watermelon is only worth 20!"
"Yes, it is delicious. Tantan said Yanping will be back today. When will he be back?"
Zhang Yanping, who was at the door, heard these words and looked at them with complicated expressions.
Song Tan also had a complicated expression, thinking, why not share some of the late-ripening watermelons with my aunt's family
Then Zhang Yanping asked, "Mom, didn't you eat the watermelon that Tantan sent?"
I gave them three at the time. If I had eaten them, I wouldn't be talking about this now, right? Yunqiao Watermelon, Yunqiao Watermelon, actually the trademark name is Tianyuan Jishi.
But there is no sticker for selling watermelons locally, and I don’t know how Lao Zhao spread the word that it is called Yunqiao watermelon. Song Tan’s village is called Yunqiao Village, didn’t his mother ask around
Wu Fang was very happy. When she saw her son coming back, she first cried out, then asked, "Why are you so tanned? I'm calling you on video. Aren't you just sitting at home doing nothing?"
She knew her own son well, and he wasn't the type to work in the fields, but now he looked so dark - could it be that he had really become hardworking in Tan Tan's house
Zhang Yanping was even more depressed—he had a genetic mutation!
At this moment, I really couldn't bear to hear the word "black", so I just continued to ask: "Did you really eat that melon?"
It wouldn’t be that serious if you really ate it!
Wu Fang and Zhang Hong looked at each other and said, "We think this watermelon is really delicious. We think it's so rare. If you come back and can't buy it, we might as well make it into juice and freeze it into popsicles. It's just right for you to eat it when you come back, Yan Ping. Tan Tan, do you want some watermelon popsicles?"
Zhang Yanping: …
He! Just! Knows!
This is one of the main reasons why he is playing badly at home!
Really, it's so stressful.
At this moment, he was exhausted and waved his hand to reply for Song Tan: "No, we don't want to eat it... Mom, that melon is from Tan Tan's family. I have been eating it for several months. I sent it back especially for you to taste it."
"Oh, there are so many fruits here, what can't we eat? I'll leave the watermelon for you, you can enjoy it slowly. Anyway, the popsicles won't be frozen."
Song Tan also felt the pressure was great, and now he didn't dare to even mention sending the watermelons over to sell - if he really wanted to send them over to sell, he was afraid that his aunt wouldn't ask for a penny and would sell them all to her family!
There's no way, she just loves children so much that she is naturally willing to sacrifice part of herself, and her uncle Zhang Hong is no exception!
At this moment, he could only give Zhang Yanping a helpless look, and then resolutely said goodbye:
"Well... Auntie, I have to go to my aunt's house later. I won't stay for now. I'm leaving first!"
"Don't worry, don't worry!" Auntie hurriedly called her, "Eat some fruit! The grapes I just bought are very expensive! Tantan, take a box back..."
Oh my god!
Song Tan ran faster.
Zhang Yanping was left shouting in despair: "Tan Tan, don't be embarrassed if you are too busy at home, remember to call for help as soon as possible!"
Song Tan had sharp ears, and even after getting in the car, he could still hear his aunt muttering, "Yan Ping, when you were preparing for the exam at the beginning of the year, didn't you say you wouldn't take the provincial exam, but the national exam at the end of the year? Do you need to sign up for a class to prepare for the exam?"
Zhang Yanping: … Just die, that’s it.
…
Xin Jun was at the station and had sent everyone to their destination. Song Tan also came downstairs to her aunt's house carrying two kilograms of dried fish and twenty packets of marinade.
This time it was okay, it was so hot and there was basically no one in the yard.
She made the call and sure enough, her aunt was waiting for her at home.
As soon as the door is opened, a wave of hot and humid air hits you in the face, making you break into a sweat in an instant!
At my aunt's house, an old fan was whirring, and my aunt in front of me was wearing a torn sweatshirt and shorts, full of enthusiasm:
"Tan Tan is here? I told you not to see him off... It would be great if you could keep the things and sell them for money - come on, come inside and enjoy the fan. I just sprinkled some water, it's cool!"
That’s right, my aunt’s secret to saving money—try not to turn on the air conditioner!
What's there to be afraid of when it's hot? It's only 36 or 37 degrees, she's not afraid of the heat! Just sprinkle some water and mop the floor at home! If it's too hot in the afternoon, go to the mall for a few rounds, and wait until 8:30 in the evening, you can grab special dishes!
Song Tan was not afraid of the heat, but he felt sorry for the fan - this old treasure had been in service for more than 25 years! It was bought by her father Song Sancheng when her aunt gave birth.
He said the baby was one month old and he came to see her. He had prickly heat all over his body and cried all day and night. Song Sancheng gritted his teeth and bought her this...
After so many years, it's actually quite difficult for it to run, and it doesn't consume much less electricity than an air conditioner!
"Where's my uncle?"
Song Tan handed the thing to her aunt, and saw her quickly open the refrigerator, take out an old popsicle and then quickly close the door before handing the old popsicle to her. At this moment, she could not refuse her kindness, so she had to change the subject.
The eldest aunt said cheerfully: "It's hot, there's a new pharmacy offering free herbal tea! Unlimited! Your uncle took a pot to fill it up... Oh, if you didn't tell me earlier, you could get three free eggs if you queue up in the morning!"
Song Tan: …
"What about my cousin? He shouldn't be working today, the weekend?"
The eldest aunt did not hide it: "Your uncle and I have saved another 300,000 yuan. You don't know that the bank interest rate has dropped! I calculated for a long time and it was not cost-effective. I simply combined it with the 200,000 yuan saved by your brother and bought a small house - your brother went to look at houses."
Song Tan opened his mouth—
Her cousin! He worked in a public institution for three years, and his first year internship salary was only 2,000 yuan! How could he save 200,000 yuan
No wonder he is 27 or 28 years old and has a handsome appearance but has never had a boyfriend. This, this, this... It’s not easy to find someone who shares the same interests with him!
After thinking about it, Song Tan could only say that they were worthy of being his aunt's family!
