Chapter 12: Treading the Waves (3)
Father Xu praised his daughter's performance, but he didn't expect Xu Qian to have a talent for singing.
Of course, Li Yuxin hugged her and happily praised her, praising her intelligence and her ability, in short, there was a sweet layer of intimate love on his face.
"How can you praise me?" Xu Qian's eyes were full of expectation, waiting for his answer.
"How about you please eat sugarcane from Guangxi?" Li Yuxin thought for a while, as if he remembered that there was a small shop selling sugarcane in Shatang on the way here.
"Guangxi's? All right. So saying, she turned to her father and said to him, "Old Dou, go together." ”
"Forget it, you go, I won't go to the ruins." Father Xu waved his hand and let the two of them roam freely.
Xu Qian saw that her father insisted on not going, and she couldn't force it, so she pulled Li Yuxin and slowly left the center of the hall.
Bundles of dense sugar cane are piled up at the door of the small shop, like a small wholesale market. A juicer was placed at the door, and a small sign made of paper was hung next to it, which read: Freshly squeezed sugarcane juice, 5 yuan a cup.
"Boss, two glasses, no ice." Li Yuxin took out a 10 yuan bill from his pocket and handed it to the shopkeeper first.
"Holo." After receiving the money, she immediately chopped four pieces of sugar cane and put them into the machine to squeeze the juice.
Two small cups of sugar cane water were handed to them.
"Boss, you're too picky, and this disposable paper cup is too short." Li Yuxin laughed and joked.
"Brother, there's no way, the cost is too expensive, you can also see it, the current sugarcane does not produce water." The proprietress kept her smile helplessly.
"Don't care, I'll just make a joke." Li Yuxin said with a smile.
"No, it won't." Suddenly, she stayed on Xu Qian's face for a few more seconds and asked, "Are you, the one who sang just now?" ”
Xu Qian looked at her inexplicably, could it be that she was also on the scene? Confused, she nodded.
Li Yuxin is still eye-catching, he guesses that this must be done by live TV.
"Then I can't ask for your money." As she spoke, the proprietress took out the money she had just received and insisted on returning it to the two of them.
Li Yuxin thanked her first and rejected her move: "It's all a small business, you can accept it when you should accept it." ”
"You've all worked together, I'm asking you for 10 yuan, isn't that unconscious?" She still insisted on returning it to Li Yuxin.
"Auntie, you're welcome. If you want, donate. Xu Qian helped her come up with an idea.
"Where are you going to donate?" The proprietress looked embarrassed.
"When the time comes, when the municipal party committee and government organize donations, it's not too late for you to donate." Li Yuxin said to her patiently.
"Oh, well, I'll donate it then." The proprietress seemed to understand, looked at Li Yuxin, and always felt that he had a good face, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it.
Li Yuxin looked at her with a strange gaze, and he was also stunned.
"Have we met?" The proprietress asked him tentatively.
"Well, it's familiar." When Li Yuxin said this, he couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
After a while, I suddenly heard Li Yuxin's "oops"! Putting the cup in his hand on the counter, feeling that he remembered something, the proprietress looked at him quietly, and the two actually held hands and exclaimed, and exhaled at the same time: "It's you!" ”
Xu Qian didn't know when she saw it, could it be that these two people really knew each other?
Indeed, the two knew each other. This proprietress is none other than Yang Liu's aunt, Liu Xue, but the years are old, and the fairy who was originally like pear blossoms and twilight snow is so lonely. Life is not as splendid as poetry, but it is like a vegetable market that you can't give up, no matter whether you are rich or poor, you have to walk from it several times in this life.
"Aunt Xue, it's you. I almost didn't recognize it. Li Yuxin said with a smile.
"I just feel familiar, and I'm afraid I'll admit it." Liu Xue couldn't help but glance at Xu Qian twice, and then asked, "This is your little girlfriend?" ”
"Aunt Xue, you're a little naughty." Li Yuxin licked the sweet water on the side of his mouth with the tip of his tongue.
"It's a pity that my willow didn't have that life." Liu Xue smiled bitterly regretfully.
"It's a good thing she didn't follow me, otherwise it would have been more miserable." Li Yuxin hurriedly explained. Let's read a book
"Hey, no one can say clearly about marriage, you can't run away, and you can't ask for it." Liu Xue seems to be enlightened, perhaps touching the emotional world in her heart.
"Aunt Xue is so perceptive!" Li Yuxin stretched out his thumb and praised one.
"Old, if you don't realize it, you'll go into the coffin." As she spoke, Liu Xue burst out laughing, which completely subverted her artistic conception in Li Yuxin's heart.
"Aunt Xue, is business okay?" Li Yuxin asked politely.
"It's okay. Recently, this business is quite strange, usually it takes ten days and half a month to sell two or three bottles of Boryeong vinegar, but yesterday it actually sold 500 bottles, which is really a miracle. "I don't know if Liu Xue is deliberately sarcastic or really unaware, this vinegar is almost out of stock.
"A SARS that sold old goods." Li Yuxin said it very lightly, but it was still heard by Liu Xue.
She smiled and didn't talk about it, but only asked Li Yuxin: "I want to donate now, can you help me?" ”
"Aunt Xue, it's not easy for you to make money, so if you can, you can avoid it." Li Yuxin thought about her, but Aunt Xue didn't appreciate it, and insisted on donating some to be comfortable.
Li Yuxin couldn't help it, so he had to agree to help her ask.
"Liu Kai, my aunt said she wanted to donate, what do you think?" Li Yuxin called Liu Kai directly.
"Why don't you take him to the organizing committee?" Liu Kai said on the other end of the phone.
"Is this appropriate?" Li Yuxin asked.
"How is it not suitable? You're one of the initiators. Liu Kai said.
"Okay. Then I'll take a trip. Not far anyway. Li Yuxin responded happily.
"How?" Liu Xue saw him hang up the phone, so she asked him.
"Guozhou Hall." Li Yuxin said where he was going.
"Isn't that just up ahead? Why don't we go and ask your little girlfriend to help you look at the store? Liu Xue turned back to the store, picked up an iron box on the ground, and was about to go with Li Yuxin.
Li Yuxin instructed Xu Qian to help take care of the store, and then left the shop with Liu Xue.
The two hurried over, but fortunately, the people of the organizing committee had not withdrawn, Liu Xue put the iron box on the table, and said in a grand manner: "I'm here to donate." ”
Looking at the rusty tin box, several men from the organizing committee are also fluted, how much money can this box have?
"Why don't you trust me to donate?" Liu Xue knew that they couldn't look at this iron box, but she couldn't get used to their ignorance.
"No, it's already an honor to have Leosan with you." One of the men stood up very sensibly and was very polite to Li Yuxin and the others.
"He's from Leosan?" Liu Xue asked in confusion.
"That's right. He is. The two men from the organizing committee replied in unison.
"Oh, buy Ga, I'm really lucky today. It seems that this money is really worth the donation. Liu Xue opened the box with her hand, and it was full of red hundred-yuan bills, densely covering the entire iron box.
The two men were also dumbfounded, they didn't guess that there was so much money in them, so they asked, "Really donated?" ”
"True donation." Liu Xue looked at them, and the grievance in her heart was finally released in embarrassment.
"You're not thinking about it? It's too late to regret it now. They persuaded them kindly.
"No, you can count the money." Liu Xue said magnificently.
"Thank you, your generosity, your kindness will be remembered by us." So while helping to register the name, the amount was counted.
Li Yuxin stood aside and gave birth to a kind of respect.
"Xiao Li, don't forget to give me a painting." Liu Xue took the opportunity to ask Li Yuxin for a New Year's gift.
"Okay, Aunt Xue, I'll send one when I go back." Li Yuxin happily agreed to her request.
"It's 18,700 in total, and this is a fundraising ticket for you. Please keep it. One of the men handed the donation voucher to Liu Xue.
Liu Xue turned out the bill, and by the way, she took her iron box back.
