Chapter 26: The First Deposit (Part I)
"Grandpa, Grandma, Mommy, we're back—" Before she could enter the door, Pepe shouted into the house.
"Grandma, it's time to eat, I'm starving—" This was the voice of Ash the bear child.
The old lady looked at the two children's faces that were flushed with sunburn but still excited, and choked on the complaints she was about to blurt out. "Okay, okay, stop chattering, I know you're making money, look at your sweaty heads, go upstairs to wash, change your clothes and come down for dinner." Li Zhoufangmei said distressedly.
Lord Pei replied loudly, "I know", and refused Grandma's wish to come over to help take a bath, and pulled his younger brother upstairs with a smile.
First accompanied his younger brother into his bedroom, helped his younger brother put bath water in the bathroom, and sprinkled some spiritual spring water in it by the way, and when he got out of the bathroom, he saw that the bear child had already stripped naked, "Okay, go in and wash yourself." The little adult looked like he pointed to the bathroom with his brother, and the bear child Ash jumped into the bathroom with his bare ass with a cheer, and then took out a few of Ash's clean clothes and pants from the closet, put them on the bed, and turned out of his brother's room.
I went back to my bedroom, locked the door, and in a blink of an eye, my figure appeared in the space. I went into the bedroom of the small building and put the day's harvest on the dresser. Then he took out the wooden barrel, poured it into the spiritual spring water, closed his eyes and soaked in the bucket for ten minutes, his skin was slowly restored to normal by the scorching sun of the California coast, and the lord of Pei County breathed a sigh of relief, and finally felt refreshed.
Out of the space, put on clean clothes, opened the door, and found that the door of the younger brother's bedroom on the opposite side was wide open, and when I looked at it, the clothes on the bed were long gone, and I knew that the bear child had gone downstairs after taking a bath and changing clothes.
When I went downstairs, I saw Aunt Qin walking towards the restaurant with a pot of soup, and hurriedly followed with a hungry stomach.
The family had already sat down at the table, and the bear child Xiaozhi did not stop stuffing the food in his mouth, and his eyebrows fluttered to report today's results to the adults. Pepe walked to her seat, stretched out her hand, and her grandfather Li Yigang picked her up and stuffed her into the children's table and chair.
Aunt Qin immediately put a bowl of rice in front of Pepe, and the little girl picked up the chopsticks and began to bloom in large pieces.
"How much did you earn all day today," the old man smiled and gave his little granddaughter a chopstick dish.
Pepe swallowed the rice, didn't lift his head, continued to bury his head in front of the rice bowl, and replied to his grandfather, "$95 per person." ”
"Yo, the harvest is good, will you go out tomorrow?" The old man scooped another bowl of soup for his granddaughter.
"What to go! How much does it cost grandma to give you, see that you are about to molt your sun. Li Zhou Fangmei immediately glanced at the old man and said to her grandchildren.
"Grandma—we've all told Lillian! You can't be a man without being trustworthy! The little girl immediately raised her head and puffed out her cheeks to coquettish her grandmother.
Qin Wanyu glanced at her daughter soothingly, and persuaded the old lady: "Mommy, let them go, before the children went to Mr. Peng except to stay at home and watch animations, they didn't even have a little friend to play with, but now they finally made their first new friend, we should be happy as adults." ”
Hey, the family is against her, Li Zhoufangmei sighed, "Okay, I don't care." The old lady had no choice but to continue to compromise, and then shouted to the maid Zhou Qin: "Ah Qin, remember to put sunscreen on your child before going out tomorrow!" ”
The next day, the three children went to the beach again in high spirits.
Business was still good that day, and the stall ended before five o'clock in the afternoon, and the three heads got together to count the money, and with the spoils in the morning, each child made $108 that day.
"Lilian, we've run out of fruit we bought, let's ask Aunt Qin to buy more fruit and put it at home when we go back, how about we each pay 50 yuan this time?" After the spoils were divided, Pepe grabbed the banknotes and coins in front of her and stuffed them into her pocket, asking Lillian.
"If it's too much, will it be too late to sell? I could only stay at my grandmother's house for another week at most, and then I had to go back. Lillian hesitated.
"Huh? Why? Where to go back? Aren't you living here? Pepe looked at Lillian suspiciously.
"My dad works in New York, I came to my grandmother for a summer vacation, and yesterday my dad flew back to New York, and school will start in ten days, and at most a week, my mommy will take me back to her own house in New York," Lillian explained.
After listening to Lilian's explanation, Pepe was a little disappointed, a new friend she had finally made.
Looking at Pepe's little sister's lost little face, Lilian seemed to comfort the little girl in front of her, "We can still call and contact, besides, I will come back during the winter vacation, and I will continue to play with you when the time comes." Then he counted out 50 yuan in change and stuffed it into Pepe's hand in an atmospheric manner, "Here, let your maid buy more fruit." We'll continue tomorrow. ”
A week passed quickly, relying on the sale of juice, the three children could get an average of about 100 a day, and on the last day, after collecting the stall and distributing the stolen goods, Pepe took Lilian's hand and reluctantly said goodbye in the sunset.
Just as Pepe was expressing her reluctance to Lilian in a sticky manner, Ash suddenly said, "Sister, yesterday grandma told me to help me keep the money." The sad atmosphere of parting was suddenly broken by this sentence.
"Private property is inviolable! This is a fundamental right granted to us by the Federal Constitution, even if we are children! When Lilian heard Ash's words, her expression immediately became stern, and she said to Ash in a righteous manner.
"This old lady in our family doesn't care if it's constitutional or not." Thinking of the $684 bill, which was about to be in danger, Lord Peshire looked at Lillian with a dejected expression.
Lilian rolled her eyes, patted Pepe's little shoulder, and said, "Let your father take you to the bank to save the money, I have a change account of my own, and no one can take my money except me!" ”
Pepe's eyes lit up when he listened. That's right, even if this money is put in the space, and grandma asks to help keep it, can I still lie on the ground and roll around without taking it out? It's different in the bank, this money is equivalent to crossing the road in front of grandpa's father.
Thinking of this, the frustrated expression on Lord Pei's face was swept away, and then he showed a bright smile to his younger brother, beckoned his little hand to call his younger brother to him, and the two little heads came together and muttered for a long time to finally make a confession.
Not far away, Ham had already cleaned up his stall and urged the child. Pepe had to say her last goodbye to Lilian, and under the slanting light of the setting sun, Ham led the two little masters, one big and two small, back home with three figures stepping on the afterglow.
