Chapter 12: Betting
PS: Have a great weekend everyone!
Seeing that a few people had completely walked out of the gate, Li Chen turned around with a smile.
"Brother, you... You... What are you asking me to say about you? Alas! ”
Li Song came to Li Chen and looked at him with a strange expression, Li Xue and his mother obviously felt that Li Chen was too nonsense, although the second uncle said that the pear could make the second grandmother's condition better, but after all, this matter sounded too suspenseful, and several people still didn't believe it too much. Even if the second uncle came to the door with the director of the hospital in person this time, they only thought that that kind of pear was worth some value at best, but it was still far from the 10,000 that Li Chen opened his mouth.
But they just looked at each other and didn't say anything.
"Chen, your uncle is a businessman, and Director Wu is one of his big customers, that's why he is like this. But he is not bad-hearted, and he has helped our family a few times, don't hate him! ”
Mom thought about it, and still excused the second uncle.
Looking at the kind old mother, Li Chen nodded: "Mom, how can I be angry with him?" ”
"Okay, okay, brother, can you pick a few of your 10,000-one pears and let Mom and us taste them?"
Li Song smiled, with a look of teasing.
Although my mother and sister didn't say anything, they obviously didn't object to Li Song's request.
Li Chen naturally saw that they were not impressed, and he didn't say much, he turned the high stilt on the side, walked to the tree, took a pair of scissors, and went up for a while to cut off the two pears.
As soon as he got closer, the strong aroma made the eyes of his mother light up, and Li Song couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva.
Taking out the fruit knife from the house, Li Chen was about to cut the pear.
"Hey, brother, you can think about it, this is 20,000 yuan!"
"Go, it's only for others that it's priced, and our own family can eat if they don't want to! Fart 20,000 yuan! ”
Li Chen opened Li Song's pretended to block the hand, and the knife immediately cut into the flesh of the pear. In fact, there is an old man in Li Song's hometown who is particular about pears, that is, pears cannot be eaten by two people, saying that they will be "separated". But there is no such restriction for more than three people to eat.
And the reason why Li Chen only picks two is that this pear is too big, and it is a little less for four people to eat one, three and more, and two is just right!
The juice overflowed, the white and tender flesh loomed, and the aroma became more and more intense.
"Go! Give it to Mom first! ”
Li Chen cut a large piece, the size of a fist. Let Li Song hand it to his mother.
Although my mother was not as ugly as Li Song and her sisters, she also swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva. To be honest, I heard about this pear before, and it was far less shocking than seeing it with my own eyes.
She also wanted to taste it for a long time, so she took the pear and took a bite gently, "Hmm! "That's sweet and delicious, but don't mention it!
"It's the best!"
Li Song's mouth was already full at the moment, and he finally swallowed it, then praised it loudly, and then picked up a large piece: "Brother, I think this pear is really worth 10,000 yuan!" ”
"Ten thousand?"
Li Chen snorted while cutting the pear: "That's the price just now!" ”
"The price just now? And what about the current price? ”
Li Xue was also happy to eat, but when she heard what Li Chen said, she couldn't help but ask.
"Now, at least double it!"
"Huh? Twenty thousand! ”
Li Song and Li Xue laughed, and said in their hearts, Li Chen is okay, right? How to climb along the pole?
Li Chen smiled faintly: "Yes, then Director Wu won't buy 10,000 yuan, it's true that there will be no store in this village after this village, if he comes again, I will definitely sell him 20,000!" ”
"There's no way he'll come back." Li Song looked sure: "Unless he is a fool!" ”
"Why don't we make a bet?"
Li Chen suddenly became playful
"Bet?"
"Ahh Just bet on whether Director Wu will come back to buy this pear, if I lose, I'll buy you a new notebook, how about it? ”
"Really?"
Li Song was pleasantly surprised, "Mom, sister, did you hear me?" Bear witness to me! After speaking, he stretched out his hand again: "Take the money!" ”
"Why? I haven't lost yet. ”
Li Chen opened his hand: "It's up to you, tell me, what will you give me if you lose?" ”
Li Song smiled: "Brother, do you think I will lose?" ”
"Don't be wordy, say quickly, what did you lose to me?"
"I don't have the money to buy you a notebook!"
"I didn't say I wanted a notebook." Li Chen thought for a while: "Otherwise, if you lose, you have to unconditionally agree to do something for me, as for what, I haven't thought about it yet, even if you owe me first, when I think about it, you will implement it, how about it?" ”
Seeing that what Li Chenzhen said was serious, Li Song stopped talking.
"Do you dare to bet? Manly tofu, give a happy word! ”
Li Chen said excitedly.
"Okay, I'm betting!"
"It's a deal!"
"Smack"
The two brothers actually slapped back, and seeing that the two sons were in a hurry, their mother and Li Xue were eating pears, smiling and shaking their heads.
At this time, Li Song looked up at the only remaining pear on the tree, swallowed his saliva, and jokingly said: "Brother, this is a golden egg, you have to take care of it, if you lose it, you will lose it!" ”
"You, little family!"
Li Chen glanced at his younger brother, but he didn't say anything more. However, he knew in his heart that as long as he had that treasure mark, then this wonderful fruit would not be afraid of no successor.
But he doesn't plan to tell his family about this matter yet, and it's not too late to find a suitable opportunity to talk about it later.
Two big pears, four people ate them all in one meal. This couldn't help but make Li Song, who had an uncomfortable stomach distended, sigh again.
My mother also gently stroked her stomach, and secretly said that she didn't want to eat too much sweet, which was not good for her health, so why couldn't she stop talking?
"Sister, I'll pick another one later, and you can bring it to your brother-in-law's house?"
Li Chen glanced at his sister who was wiping her mouth, and asked with a smile.
As soon as she heard this, Li Xue's face immediately turned red. glanced at his mother, his pretty face tensed, and deliberately said angrily: "Go, let's find a fight." ”
How shrewd is Li Chen? Naturally, I could see that my sister's words were insincere.
My sister's boyfriend is her high school classmate, and I heard that the family seems to be very good, so he should barely be considered a rich second generation!
When I first learned that the two were in love, the family was all against my sister, for fear that the kid would be unreliable and play with my sister's feelings. Unexpectedly, my sister had a bullish temper and would never abandon that kid. After graduating from college, the two didn't even break off.
That person Li Chen had seen him once from afar, he was a person with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he was very energetic, but what his specific character was, because his sister rarely mentioned him at home, Li Chen didn't know much about it.
At this time, I deliberately made fun of my sister, and I also wanted to see my sister's reaction.
Seeing his sister's look of wanting to refuse and thinking, Li Chen really picked another one, put it in a clean food bag, and prepared it for her.
"Didn't you say you didn't want to!"
My sister pretended to be dissatisfied, and secretly glanced at my mother again.
But my mother didn't even look at him, she had already turned a blind eye to her daughter's affairs, after all, her daughter was older and had more ideas than herself.
"Sister, don't pretend! Or, you don't want it, give it to me? I'll give it to my classmates! ”
Li Song also came over to coax.
"Go, go, go! What a mess! ”
Sure enough, my sister's eyes stood up, and then she saw Li Song and Li Chen squeezing their eyebrows, knowing that she was deceived, she was ashamed, and Li Song and Li Chen suddenly scattered.
Watching the three sisters and brothers playing affectionately, my mother didn't know what she remembered, and her eyes were wet......
