Chapter 18: My Childhood
"Hey, Xiaojun!"
After lunch, my sister Guan Yang walked up to Guan Xiaojun, "Our popsicles are really not for sale?"
Although Guan Yang was tired yesterday and complained to Guan Xiaojun vigorously, he looked at the few dollars he earned in his hand, in fact, he was still a little happy in his heart.
Although she was very tired yesterday, it was not without gain, and her younger brother Guan Xiaojun's performance surprised her, she never knew that Guan Xiaojun was so eloquent, and he could even shout tricks when he bought a piece of ice cream.
Guan Xiaojun's practices and behaviors beyond his age had a great shock to Guan Yang's young heart, and she knew through Guan Xiaojun's performance that she could sell things like this, and she could still say this when she spoke, and she could make money selling popsicles like this!
In Guan Yang's eyes at this time, if he can earn more than ten yuan a day, it is already a large amount.
So even though he was tired yesterday, Guan Yang was still a little eager to try today, and wanted to continue selling popsicles.
"It's definitely not going to sell it today, my dad hasn't gone to the sorbet factory to wholesale yet, and he can't sell anything if he wants to!"
"Oh!"
Guan Yang frowned and looked disappointed.
Guan Xiaojun couldn't help but smile when he saw his sister's pouting and disappointed expression, and couldn't help laughing: "Not today, we can reopen tomorrow!" I've already thought about it, let's park the ice cream box at the intersection so that everyone can see it, whoever wants to eat popsicles in the future, let them buy it themselves, let's not go out and run, so that Mom and Dad won't object!"
Guan Yang was overjoyed, "I'll tell my dad to go!"
"Hey......"
Guan Xiaojun didn't hold it, Guan Yang had already run out.
"Alas, my sister, her temper has been so quick since she was a child!"
Guan Yang's quick temper seems to be brought from the womb, everything he does is in a hurry, as long as he thinks about it, then he will do it directly, he will rarely look forward and backward, and he is almost the master who goes to the black.
If she finds that the road ahead is not working, she will also find a way to find a way instead of choosing a detour.
Her temper of admitting death is exactly the same as Guan Yunshan, but fortunately, she can learn, endure hardships, and choose the right path.
Guan Xiaojun has always known that his sister is anxious, but he didn't expect it to be highlighted when he was a child.
Seeing Guan Yang run out, Guan Xiaojun also carried the mat out of the house and walked towards the head of the village.
In this era when there are no electrical appliances, rural people can't stand the heat in the house in summer, so the whole family runs to the woods at the head of the village with a mat.
At the west end of Guandimiao Village, there is a large forest, poplar trees, locust trees, acacia trees, occasionally mixed with a few elm trees, densely covered with the whole village.
There is a shady place in the woods, and it is a place where the wind comes from all directions, so the villagers will carry a mat to the woods to enjoy the cool in the summer, usually they eat, but also come out to eat with a rice bowl, and the good relationship will put the meals together to eat, laughing and laughing, extremely happy.
In the whole village, except for the women who rarely go out, most of the men will come to the woods to chat and fart, to escape the heat.
A large group of people gathered in the woods, and the whole forest became a small bazaar, with a lot of excitement, playing poker, playing chess, sleeping, listening to the radio, eating, catching, digging birds' nests, beating children, and doing everything, and the whole picture was full of life tension.
In the evening, many people will come to sleep in the woods, and a group of people will chat and chat, and they will slowly fall asleep in the night when the wind blows the trees.
However, the woods are not very clean, there are always a lot of small animals crawling around on the ground, sometimes falling asleep, you will feel a pain in your body, reach out and touch, a knowing larva, also called the golden cicada will be caught in the palm of the hand, the skin feels pain, that is its paw scratch.
Guan Xiaojun has encountered this situation several times, when he fell asleep in the woods, the golden cicada climbed on his body, and after he caught it in his hand, he didn't want to let go, but he didn't want to go home in the middle of the night, so he continued to sleep with his hands;
It is said that there are also long worms crawling on the body, climbing shells, and even hearing that there are centipedes crawling into the ears and eyes, but I only heard about it, and I didn't see it with my own eyes.
However, despite the dangers of sleeping in the woods, it does not dampen the villagers' love for the woods, which have been a great place for villagers to cool off in the summer.
When Guan Xiaojun walked to the woods, the figures in the whole forest flickered, and the voices continued, and in the shade on the edge of the woods, there were a few shirtless young people who were gathering around with rice bowls, talking and pulling a few bites of food, which was very lively.
Seeing Guan Xiaojun coming over, several young people greeted each other and jokingly said, "Xiaojun, it's cool to come out? Do you still sell your popsicles?"
"I heard Uncle Yunshan say that I tired you out yesterday, and now I won't let you do this small business, is it true?"
"To be honest, yesterday's ice cream was really good, cheap, and delicious, the key is that Xiaojun sold it to us, this is rare, oops, you didn't do this business today, I still think it's a pity!"
"That's right, Xiaojun, you have to do this business, it's very profitable, even if you don't make money, then there is still a box of sorbet left. A box of sorbet, how enjoyable it is!"
A few young people couldn't help but be amused by Guan Xiaojun, and asked Guan Xiaojun to go to Guan Yunshan, and then they watched the excitement.
Guan Xiaojun glanced at them a few times, and suddenly his face changed, and he pointed to the bottom of the bowl of several of them and exclaimed loudly, "There are scorpions, there are scorpions, there are scorpions at the bottom of your bowls!"
Several young men were taken aback, and hurriedly put the bowl down in fright, and two others turned the bowl over without thinking, ready to take a closer look.
Crash!
Several bowls of rice were all spilled on the floor.
Guan Xiaojun ran away!
It wasn't until Guan Xiaojun ran away that these young people reacted - they were actually tricked by Guan Xiaojun, a little kid!
Guan Yunshan, who was enjoying the coolness, turned his head and saw Guan Xiaojun, who was panting and laughing while running, and beckoned: "Xiaojun, this way! What's wrong with you kid? Just finished eating, don't run so fast!"
Guan Xiaojun said with a smile: "If you don't run, you can't do it, it's easy to be beaten if you run slowly!"
