Chapter 34: Cherry Tomatoes
Two steps to the urine bucket, was about to take off his pants, found Chen Yubin looking at him straightly, Xiaoxi tugged at the end of his pants, glared, and said sharply: "What are you doing?
Xiaoxi slapped him, and Chen Yubin quickly turned his head. Hmph, it's so fierce, it's clearly the man's wife on TV.
Seeing that Chen Yubin turned around in a familiar way, Xiaoxi hurriedly solved this major life event that could suffocate people.
Soon after Xiaoxi sat back on the bed, there was a sound of footsteps in the hallway outside the door, "The two of them should be awake." "Normally, it's time to wake up. Then the lock on the door was opened, and Chen's mother and Chen's father walked in one after the other.
"Xiaoxi Binbin woke up?" As soon as I opened the door, I saw the two children sitting on the bed obediently, without crying, and Chen's mother's hanging heart was relaxed.
"Mom, we've been awake for a long time, where have you been with Dad?" Xiaoxi asked with her eyes wide open, looking innocent.
"Huh?" Chen's mother's pretty face flushed, her skin was originally very white, but now her white face was covered with red glow, and the whole person looked even more delicate and lovely, and Chen's father's eyes were straight, "Oh, I just went down and went around, it didn't take long." ”
Poof, hahaha, Xiaoxi tried to press the villain who was laughing wildly in his heart, pressed down the corners of his mouth that always wanted to be upturned, and then pretended not to care and said, "Oh." As if the answer just now was dispensable, the question just now was just casual talk.
After packing up her emotions, Chen's mother made the bed, locked the door, and Chen's father went out with the three of them.
Destination – Mahjong Parlor.
Chen's mother and Chen's father can play mahjong, and they play well. In my previous life, my second aunt always joked about herself, saying that your mother's old man (that is, what my father meant) is a long card mahjong can do everything, and you don't pick up two tricks. In fact, Xiaoxi can also play mahjong, but not as smooth as them, so proficient, and the head is not as fast as them, only a little simpler.
The mahjong parlor that Chen's father brought was not large, and there were only three tables in it. In his previous life, Xiaoxi heard a joke that there was a plane flying over Cuiyun County, and he could hear the sound of mahjong rubbing in the city below. Although it is a bit exaggerated, however, although Cuiyun County is not big, it is indeed a mahjong table at the corner of Kaka (meaning smaller than the corner).
People in the county town live a relatively leisurely life, basically get up in the morning and go out to eat a bowl of rice noodles and drink a bowl of soy milk, and then go to the mahjong hall to sit, and wait for the street lights to turn on before going home.
Chen's father and Chen's mother make a table together, play mahjong in the creek, and the family sits at the same table, unless it is a big family gathering together for the New Year's holiday, but it is rare for two couples to get together at a table.
Before it was served, Chen's father gave Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin a dollar each and asked them to buy candy to eat, but because they had just eaten a lot of fruit and brought loquats, they didn't buy snacks to eat.
There is an old-fashioned color TV in the house, and "Journey to the West" is playing. And Chen Yubin sat down next to Xiaoxi for a while to watch TV, went to Chen's mother for a while, and went to Chen's father for a while to grind, very!
Xiaoxi, who was immersed in the plot, was pulled back by a surprise voice. "Sister, Dad just gave me two more yuan, give, it's yours. As he spoke, he gave a red block ticket to the stream. This is Chen Yubin's biggest advantage, he thinks about his relatives in everything, does not swallow privately, even if he does not have someone else's share, he will get it equally, which has always been the point of Xiaoxi's touching.
In the afternoon, a piece for a while, five cents for a while, Xiaoxi saved four yuan and five yuan, plus more than two yuan saved before, a total of more than seven yuan, which was in the group of primary school students at that time, this is the local tyrant!
Seeing that Chen Yubin had come to Chen's mother again, Xiaoxi went out and went straight to the fruit stall he had coveted for a long time.
I bought fruit in the morning, so Xiaoxi probably knows the price. I picked a smaller whole pineapple, a lemon, and a big red Fuji apple for the boss to count the money.
The boss saw that it was a child, and they all bought it one by one, thinking it was curious, and he didn't say anything, so he weighed and counted the money one by one and put it in a plastic bag, "a total of seven yuan and five cents." ”
"Auntie, I only have seven yuan in total, can you make me cheaper?" Xiaoxi asked pitifully with her big gurgling eyes and a few crumpled coins in her pocket.
Oops, I'm a lot older, my grandchildren are so old, and I'm still called Auntie, I'm really embarrassed, hahaha. Looking at the crumpled banknotes in Xiaoxi's hand, as well as the big gurgling eyes, the boss's heart was suddenly crisped, "Okay, you can give Auntie seven yuan." "Auntie, hahahaha.
"Ah...... Thank you Auntie. After giving the money, Xiaoxi took the bag in the boss's hand, then pretended to look at it casually, pinched up a cute little fruit, and asked curiously: "Auntie, what is this! So small, so cute." ”
The boss smiled and squinted, looked at the things in Xiaoxi's hand, and said proudly: "This is called cherry tomatoes, I came back from a long way away, and I am the only one in the county, I have eaten it, but it is delicious." "The boss has eaten, in fact, it is a small tomato, but the name is very good, it is a high-end product, and the boss is called so. But it's much better than tomatoes.
"Auntie, can you give me two? I haven't eaten them yet. "The brook's eyes are star-shaped, as if the boss has eaten something amazing.
"That's not good, this is a valuable sale, I just gave you five cents less. "Although I enjoy the feeling of being admired by others, it is not easy to start a small business when it comes to money.
"Auntie, please, I just want to taste it, I haven't eaten it yet, and besides, I can take care of your business, so you can give me two to taste." "Xiaoxi has really used all the coquettish ways in her previous life and this life.
Seeing that someone was secretly looking at this side, the boss said helplessly: "Okay, okay, give you two, okay?" After speaking, he picked up two and put them in Xiaoxi's bag, and then signaled that Xiaoxi could go.
Xiaoxi saw that the boss had forgotten the little tomato in his hand, so he hurriedly withdrew his hand, "Thank you, Auntie, then I'll go, bye." Then he trotted back, found a corner, and put the bag into 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 boredly on the bench and breaking his legs, and Xiaoxi hurriedly sat down next to him.
Seeing that his sister was back, Chen Yubin leaned over to Xiaoxi and said aggrievedly, "Sister, where did you go just now?" ”
The brook raised the big apple in his hand and said, "I saw a seller of apples, and went to buy them." Then he handed the small tomatoes in his hand, "Here, I just saw them at the fruit stand, and the boss gave me two, which are a bit like tomatoes, but they are better than tomatoes." ”
Chen Yubin took it, threw it into his mouth without hesitation, finished eating, and chirped and chirped, shouting "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 hurriedly said: "No, no, there are only two left when I saw it just now, and the boss himself left it, and the boss saw that I hadn't eaten it, so he gave me a new taste." ”
Chen Yubin pouted, "Oh......"
Xiaoxi hurriedly raised the big apple in his hand and said, "Look at such a big apple, I'll go to my mother and peel it for us to eat." ”
Chen Yubin's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Well, let's go, go find my mother." After speaking, he pulled the stream and walked towards Chen's mother.
"Mommy, Mommy, peel apples for us. Before he arrived, Chen Yubin shouted.
Mother Chen turned around and saw Xiaoxi holding a big apple in her hand, so she asked in surprise, "Where did you get the apple?" ”
Chen Yubin replied bluntly: "I bought it." ”
"It's the apples that my dad gave me to buy candy. Xiaoxi quickly added.
Seeing that Chen's mother was very busy now and had no time, Xiaoxi said, "Mom, you can find me a knife, and I will sharpen it myself." ”
"Can you do it?" Looking at her daughter's small hands, Chen's mother was very suspicious. I borrowed a fruit knife from the owner of the mahjong parlor, hesitantly handed it to Xiaoxi, and asked again: "You really cut it yourself, you won't cut your fingers, right?"
Xiaoxi took the fruit knife, "Oh, no, I'll peel the fruit." ”
Chen's mother saw that her daughter was peeling apples with her fingers cocked, and she was indeed very skillful, so she threw it aside and concentrated on playing cards.
Carefully peeling, Brook divided the whole apple into quarters, then dug out the middle core and carefully threw it into the space of the house.
"Now, you bring it to Daddy. Xiaoxi handed Chen Yubin a piece of apple, saw that he was gone, handed it to Chen's mother, and then gave the fruit knife to Chen's mother and asked her to return it to the boss. When Chen Yubin came back, the two sat in front of the TV series and began to feast.
Seeing that the sky was slowly getting dark, and Dad Chen and the others had no intention of getting off the card table, Xiaoxi knew that he didn't have to go back tonight, but he still pretended to ask his mother, "Mom, how long have we been going back?"
Chen's mother said without looking back: "Wait a while, we will go back in a while." ”
Liar, I'll go back in a while, and now the car is gone, how can I go back?" "Then leave it back for the TV series.
It was already completely dark, but Chen's father and Chen's mother didn't ask the two children if they were hungry or anything, although the two children had been eating all afternoon, and their stomachs were still bulging at this time, but at least they had to ask, why are you so uneasy.
Finally, the two realized that it was dark and the two children had not eaten dinner, so they reluctantly got off the card table and took the two children back to the place where Chen's father lived.
