"Fruit, please?" Before I could speak, Shen Bi shouted next to me, "Why do you invite you to eat, we came to sell it, my sister and I haven't tasted a bite, why do you eat it." ”

"Just because I'm your father." My dad glared at him and said angrily, "I earned all the money you guys, what's wrong with me eating some fruit, Shen Bi, Shen Jiang, you guys are too ignorant!" How the hell did your mom teach you! ”

It's probably because my father's words are so shameless that Shen Bi was dumbfounded, and he didn't know what to do.

I knew that it was time for me to appear, so I cleared my throat and said slowly, "Dad's words are wrong, now this money belongs to my mother, and you have nothing to do with Dad, besides, when will Dad give us the remaining more than 1,000, we are living in a very tight situation now, you are our father, you can't watch us have a bad time." ”

Hum!

Since you are using the father-daughter relationship to pressure us, then don't blame me for using this to ask for money.

My father's face was a little unsightly, and after a while, he coughed lightly twice and changed the topic, "Shen Bi, in the future, Qiongyu will transfer to your school, in the same class as you, you are an older sister, you have to take care of her in the future." ”

"I take care of her?" Shen Bi looked incredulous, "Why should I take care of her?" ”

"......" my dad was very angry, "Shen Bi, why are you both like this, it's so selfish, I think you are getting stranger and stranger." ”

I chuckled on the side, and was about to tell my dad that all this was due to him, when I suddenly saw Zhang Qiongyu softly stretching out her hand, tugging on my dad's sleeve, and said softly, "Forget it, Dad, even if my sister doesn't want to take care of Qiongyu, Qiongyu can take care of herself." ”

……

Shen Bi and I were shocked and opened our eyes wide at the same time, looking at Zhang Qiongyu in disbelief - this stepdaughter of my father can call other people's fathers so calmly?

Moreover, my dad also lowered his head very happily, rubbed her head, and smiled with relief, "Qiongyu is really good." ”

Zhang Qiongyu gave him a sweet smile back, and then hugged his arm very dependently.

For some reason, I looked at the scene of the female filial piety in front of me, and suddenly felt a little disgusting.

"That's enough." I quickly put the strawberries back in the box, then unceremoniously folded the table and placed it in the tricycle, "Excuse me, we're leaving." ”

"Shen Jiang!" My dad put away the relieved smile on his face, turned his head, and looked at me with a look of disgust, "Why can't you learn from Qiongyu, why are you so annoying." ”

"Because of genetics." Shen Bi replied unceremoniously behind me.

My dad's face was darker.

I held back a smile, touched Shen Bi's head, rode a tricycle, took my mother and Shen Bi with me, and left here.

"It's really ignorant, it's still my sister, not even a tenth of Qiongyu." Vaguely, I heard my dad complaining about Widow Zhang.

"Hmph." Shen Bi sat on the wheel and snorted coldly, "Zhang Qiongyu is well-behaved, he will treat Zhang Qiongyu as a daughter in the future, don't pay attention to us, anyway, we won't treat him as a father anymore." ”

I sighed as I pedaled the three wheels.

Shen Bi's words looked crisp, but if you listened carefully, you could hear her faint choking at the end.

Seeing that his father is so good to other people's children, which child can really turn a blind eye.

"Xiaobi, don't think about this, there are still half of the strawberries, you should think about how to sell the remaining strawberries, this kind of thing will rot if you leave it overnight." I deliberately said something else to divert Shen Bi's attention.

"That'...... Then we can eat a little. Shen Bi stared blankly at the bright strawberries.

My mother, who had been silent before, touched Shen Bi's head and said lovingly, "Do you want to eat, when you sell the leftovers, I will wash them and give them to you when I go home." ”

"That's not good about this strawberry." Shen Bi sighed, "Like mangoes, you can eat them after peeling them, and strawberries have to be washed, if you don't wash them, you have to have diarrhea ......."

Wash......

Do not wash ......

I listened to Shen Bi's chatter, and my brain was like lightning splitting, and it suddenly lit up.

A way to make money than pure back and forth pouring fruit is rising in my heart.

"Sister, what do you know?" Shen Bi looked at me curiously.

I didn't say a word, just parked the tricycle at the entrance of the vegetable market, spread out the table, and took out some of the fruit for my mother and Shen Bi to sell here.

Then, I took the small amount of fruit left in the box back home, washed and soaked it, removed the strawberry stalks and mango skins, cut the pulp into small pieces, divided them into four small bowls, and finally covered them with a plastic bag.

After doing all this, I held four bowls and Shi Shiran returned to the door of the vegetable market.

Seeing me cut the fruit into pieces, she thought I was greedy, and couldn't help complaining, "Didn't you say that you would eat the leftovers, it's still early, and I can't help but sell them out." ”

I smiled, put three bowls of cut fruit on the table, and introduced to the guests who came to pick the fruit, "This is clean and edible fruit, we can give free toothpicks, no need to wash or cut, buy it and eat it at home." ”

A younger guest immediately asked me curiously, "How much does this bowl cost?" ”

I smiled and held out a finger, "One piece." ”

"There are a few strawberries here, they are so expensive to sell, they don't even have half a catty, so they sell a piece." Some of them shouted.

I didn't laugh.

Fruits are something that some people don't like to clean and want to eat ready-made.

Although my bowl of fruit is a little expensive, it is better to have it processed and can be eaten at any time, and the most important thing is that it is still a combination of two fruits, which is very suitable for people who have a small appetite but only live alone.

So, even though many people disliked it as too expensive, I sold all these bowls.

When it got dark, my mother and I sorted out a few pieces of fruit on the table, folded the table, and finally went to the nearby vegetable market to buy some leftover cheap vegetables, and went home.

At night.

In the dim light, Shen Bi and I were doing our homework, where my mother counted the money earned today.

"I bought a total of seventeen, sold for twenty-nine yuan, and there is a little fruit left, which is enough for you to eat." My mother looked happy, "This is a net profit of twelve yuan, Xiao Jiang, you have a good method, we will sell this fruit in the future, it will definitely be enough for our mother to spend a few flowers." ”

Shen Bi twisted a strawberry and threw it into her mouth, muttering, "If it weren't for my sister's four bowls of diced fruits, where would I be able to earn so much." ”

My mother remembered the complaint she had complained about me at the time, and couldn't help but push the washed strawberries in front of me in shame, "Xiao Jiang, almost all the fruits you sell today, thank you for your hard work, eat more." ”

I picked up a strawberry and stuffed it into my mother's mouth, "Mom, eat it, let's go buy a few more fruits tomorrow, and you go to the plastic wholesale market to buy some of those small plastic bowls......"

Because of today's success, my mother was much braver in the next few days, and went to the wholesale market with me to batch about six or seven kinds of fruits, carefully washed and diced them at home, put them in small bowls, and served them with toothpicks.

When Shen Bi and I got out of school, we were selling fruit at the intersection of our two schools.

The palm-sized fruit bowl, which contains four or five kinds of fruits, is only sold for five cents a bowl, which is not particularly expensive, and can be eaten immediately, so many children who live in a generous family are willing to buy a bowl.

However, this kind of money will not be made for long, because after someone found out about this money, they quickly imitated it, and sold it for less than us - four cents a bowl.

However, the so-called mountain people have their own tricks, and after the fruit bowl was quickly imitated, I remembered a cold drink that became popular in later generations - ice porridge.

Broken ice is used as a base, and various honey beans and fruits are placed on top, and milk or coconut water and various jams are added to the heart.

Nowadays, honey beans can't buy finished products, and ice crushers can't be available, but I still try to restore the ice porridge as much as possible, put it in a foam box, cover it with a thick quilt, and ask my mother to sell it together while selling fruit.

Surprisingly, the ice porridge sells better than the fruit bowl, probably because the weather is getting hotter.

Counting carefully, in the two weeks that we moved out of that building, our mothers had a very relaxed and comfortable life.

I could see with the naked eye that the smile on my mother's face was gradually increasing.

Until one day-

My dad is going to have a wedding with Widow Zhang.
