With two more people helping, a truckload of goods was quickly moved down.
The uncle felt embarrassed because his son was still upstairs, so he couldn't ask the relative girl for help—even though the girl was stronger than him.
But he was always honest and didn't know what to say, so he just took out two boxes of fruit and said, "Come on, Tantan, Qiaoqiao, have some fruit."
The eldest aunt was busy buying groceries and inviting the siblings to have lunch.
However, Song Tan and Qiao Qiao both shook their heads.
Song Tan said that the food outside was really hard to swallow.
Qiao Qiao was thinking: Can I buy another toy set meal at noon
Their refusal was so firm that my aunt stood there hesitantly. Finally, she picked up the fruit on the table and said:
"Then I'll wash some of these big cherries for you!"
Song Tan quickly pulled her back: "Auntie, you really don't need that! These big cherries are over 100 yuan a pound, you can keep them and sell them!"
This honest couple showed kindness to others by trying their best to get the best things. After the big cherries were rejected, they opened another box of fruit: a box of golden kiwis.
"You eat, you eat..."
The aunt also quickly peeled one for Qiao Qiao: "Come, Qiao Qiao, try this Zespri Kinch, it's over ten yuan a piece in the market! Tell aunt what it tastes like!"
The implication is that they couldn't bear to eat such expensive fruit.
Song Tan couldn't help but laugh: "Aunt, you fruit sellers don't taste the fruit, what if the fruit you buy doesn't taste right?"
The aunt smiled innocently: "Isn't that your brother Yanping at home? He has a picky taste. He will eat whatever is expensive in the market. He can tell whether it is delicious or not just by tasting it."
Song Tan was curious: "Is Brother Yanping at home?"
Brother Yanping is Zhang Yanping, the only son of my aunt. He is two years older than Song Tan. Why is he still at home during this unusual time of the year
When talking about her son, my aunt sighed.
"Your brother has no ambition. When I told him to go out and work, he said he wanted to help out in the family fruit shop."
"But he didn't work at home. He destroyed more than a dozen boxes of imported fruits. I beat him and scolded him. He said that he would have to take care of the fruit shop when we are old. Now he starts to practice—"
"But you spend your days practicing and nights playing games until midnight. Your uncle and I are so worried!"
It’s not that the aunt and uncle spoil the child, there’s really nothing we can do!
Zhang Yanping stayed at home for two years after graduation. His aunt had already urged him to go out and find a job, and even stopped giving him living expenses for this.
However, Zhang Yanping is just a tough guy, a copper pea, and a loud one!
When his living allowance was stopped, he would go home when he was hungry and squat at the kitchen door at mealtime.
If all else fails, just look through the fruits in the warehouse and eat whatever is most expensive.
The food made my aunt and uncle tremble in their hearts.
After locking all the doors and storage rooms in the house, the naughty kid even called a locksmith. In the end, because he had no money to pay, the locksmith called the couple again.
They wanted to just give up, not pay, and just go to the police station... But the couple still had a dream of becoming civil servants!
How does one say it? The end of the universe is the civil service exam.
In the eyes of this honest couple, there is nothing more stable and popular than being a civil servant. Even if the salary is low, don’t they still have a fruit shop? That’s enough.
As a result, they were afraid of being taken to police station and having a record of the crime, which made them very worried.
Qiao Qiao blinked and listened, but didn't understand. She just looked at her aunt expectantly: "Where's my brother?"
Auntie pointed to the stairwell and said, "He's sleeping up there! He was playing games last night and I don't know what time it was. Qiao Qiao, go play with him!"
Although Zhang Yanping is a tough guy, he has actually been very family-oriented since he was young and has played with Qiao Qiao.
The younger kids all admire the older kids, and he obviously has a special place in Qiao Qiao's heart.
Qiao Qiao really took the kiwi fruit and ran upstairs: "The fruit is so sweet, I'm going to eat it with my brother!"
Apparently he forgot he had a sister.
Song Tan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Only then did my aunt have time to ask, "Tan Tan, why are you here?"
Song Tan said the same thing: "Work is too tiring, so I quit and went home to rest for a while. During this time, I am helping with farming."
The aunt quickly advised her: "Don't stay too long. Farming is not an easy job. You are a girl, and it will be ugly if you get tanned!"
Song Tan then brought his small basket over:
"Aunt, the vegetables grown in our fields this year are especially delicious. Many people are vying for this astragalus. I specially saved a few for you. You can stir-fry it and try it at noon."
Just as I finished speaking, I saw my uncle peeling another kiwi fruit and handing it to me: "Tan Tan, you eat it."
Song Tan couldn't help but feel sorry for his aunt—
Just a few words like this cost 20 or 30 yuan. Song Tan also knew how frugal the aunt's family was.
But since she had already peeled the fruits, she took it and put it in her mouth, then quickly closed the box and moved it aside.
The sweet juice burst out in her mouth, mixed with a familiar turbid smell. The taste was really not good.
But Song Tan was already somewhat used to it, so he just said with a smile: "Uncle, don't peel it, just taste it and keep it to sell."
My uncle smiled innocently and said, "You guys came less, so eat more."
The aunt also shook off her worried look and said, "Tan Tan, don't be embarrassed. Eat more and take this box back later. Anyway, if you stay here, you will be harmed by your brother Yan Ping."
Even his own son eating fruit could be described as a "disaster", which shows how much chaos Zhang Yanping has caused.
Song Tan's heart moved.
Before she could think of anything, she heard her aunt ask, "Tan Tan, your family is farming this year, so your parents won't be working in the second half of the year?"
Song Tan nodded and counted on his fingers:
"We need to plant two fields of rice, vegetables, and sunflowers. We also plant wood ear mushrooms and white fungus on the mountain. We also trimmed the chestnut trees a bit this year. We also need to put some fish fry in the fish pond..."
"We have five pigs raised in the back hills this year. The pork will definitely be delicious during the Chinese New Year. Aunt, I'll send it to you when the time comes!"
The aunt was stunned: "Can your family handle so much work?"
Song Tan was helpless - the money had been spent, and she wanted to earn more as quickly as possible, so she accidentally lost control of it.
"My grandparents are helping out. We haven't planted the seeds yet, so they can handle it for now."
But this is only temporary, and we will have to hire someone to do the work again in a few days.
Just then, there was a noise in the stairwell, and Qiao Qiao's cheerful voice rang out:
"Brother Yanping, let's go throw stones!"
"No, little boy, I don't like playing with stones anymore."
There was a yawn in Zhang Yanping's lazy voice.
"Brother Yanping, let's go play hide and seek."
"Qiao Qiao, your brother Yan Ping is grown up now. I can't hide anymore."
"Brother Yanping, let's go see Paige."
"Why watch Peppa Pig? A real man should watch Ultraman!"
