Chen Hong didn't expect Kou Xi's idea to be so good, and a whole large pot of Shanding syrup was sold out at noon. She rode home with Kou Xi, excitedly not closing her mouth all the way.

"It's amazing, even this thing has been bought!" The tall lady praised Kou Xi with admiration: "You kid, what do you have in your head?

Kou Xi said modestly: "It's just a new thing." Now that the weather is hot, some people are willing to drink some sweet and sour appetizers to relieve the heat. Those who eat cold skin are the same people who like to buy a tooth of watermelon!"

Mrs. Gao herself didn't expect that someone would really buy watermelon in pieces. Ordinary people buy a whole watermelon, and the melon seller cuts a triangle on the watermelon, and pierces it with the tip of a knife to show the guests whether it is red, sweet and sandy.

Mrs. Gao directly cut the watermelon into several petals, and sold it cheaply and cool to quench her thirst. The hotter the weather, the better the business of the tall lady. In the past few days, a few watermelons have been opened at noon, and the old lady is so excited that she is reluctant to go home in the afternoon. If Niuniu hadn't had to sleep in the afternoon, she really didn't want to give up this opportunity to make money.

In the blink of an eye, it was the middle of August, and the people began to worry. Because in the summer, except for a few drizzles, there has never been heavy rain. The crops in the fields will die of drought, and the vegetable fields of every house will dry up unless they are watered diligently.

"It's been hot and stuffy these days, I'm afraid there will be a heavy rain!" Chen Hong wiped his sweaty neck with his hand: "My sugar water is hot, how can you sell it!"

Chen Hong puts a pot of mountain clove syrup in a bucket every day and ices it down. From time to time, I have to get a bucket of cold water from the pressurized water well at the back door of the supply and marketing cooperative. It's the same with Gao Da Niang, who now buys three or five watermelons in one go, and soaks in the well water the first night. At noon the next day, he took out two and put them in the market, cut one and sold one ice in a bucket.

"It's hot, and Kou Xi's spicy skewers aren't selling very well. Aunt Gao bit Chen Hong's ear with Kou Xi behind her back: "In the past, she had to prepare so many things in the morning, but now she is not even half of them." ”

Chen Hong whispered: "Liangpi is selling more and more, don't you see that she can earn a lot a day by relying on Liangpi now." ”

"That's what I said!" Mrs. Gao blushed a little: "The cost of that cold skin is lower than that of spicy skewers, and she is basically like robbing money." Now the two of them don't do it here, and everyone who wants to eat a bite outside is buying it from her. ”

Chen Hong reminded Mrs. Gao: "That's not right, anyway, I'll buy steamed buns from you to eat." You're borrowing too!"

The August day is like a child's face, and the effort to say two words has changed. The dark clouds were pressed down one by one, and there was not even a gust of wind in the sullen state. It's like opening the lid of a steamer, and a wave of hot air comes out, making people feel uncomfortable.

"I'm afraid it's going to be a big thunderstorm!" Gao Da Niang looked up at the sky, and then looked at the steamed buns in her basket: "Why don't we go home early?"

Chen Hong was reluctant to give up most of his pot of mountain clove syrup: "When the wind blows, let's go again." You can't get bored until the evening, right?"

Kou Xi finished working on two bowls of cold skin, and walked over to hear what the two said. He was also quite worried: "After so many days, it will definitely rain heavily." And the crops in the field were counting on the rain. She looked at Mrs. Gao: "Why don't we go home early, drive the chickens to the chicken coop, and prepare some vegetables and dry food." If this is for the next two days in a row, we don't have to go out of the house and sleep comfortably for two days. ”

Mrs. Gao said with a smile: "You child, you are really a happy one." ”

Kou Xi calmly accepted this evaluation: "I'm really tired after working for so many days. Doing business on your own is not the same as selling it to the public. I'm always trying to make more money. ”

"They go out to train every year in September, and they stay for two months. Are you going to stay here or do you want to go home?" Mrs. Gao remembered that Kou Xi said that she was leaving in late August, and that time was not the season for annual training.

"I've been thinking about it for the past two days, and I'm going to stop when it's sold out. After resting at home for two days, I picked up my tanned face. Kou Xi touched his face and said with a smile: "I'm all tanned into black potatoes!"

"Are you still black?" Gao Da Niang pouted and glared at Kou Xi: "You wear a mask every day, and you can't do without that hat on the top of your brain." Look at what we've become, can you still be black when you wipe your face every day?"

Kou Xi smiled but didn't say a word, she felt that something was wrong in her heart. Maybe it's because Shan Chao made a fuss once, and Kou Xi has become extremely sensitive now. She looked around, thinking something was missing, but she just couldn't remember.

"Where's Niu Niu?" Kou Xi found that he couldn't see the child beside him, and sighed in his heart: "Where did he go?"

When I asked this question, Aunt Gao also remembered that her eldest grandson was gone. Chen Hong interjected: "I was still playing with Xiao Zhao and her daughter in the back just now, maybe I entered the house!"

Gao Da Niang couldn't help but shout loudly: "Niu Niu, Niu Niu?"

No one responded, she shouted twice in a row, and still no one responded. At this time, the tall lady couldn't sit still, so she stood up and ran to the supply and marketing cooperatives to probe her brain. Seeing Xiao Zhao's daughter Huang Shasha playing with the ball inside, she stepped forward and pulled her: "Sasha, where is my cow?"

Sasha raised her head to look at the tall lady and smiled: "Niu Niu went out to pee." ”

Aunt Gao was a little anxious: "Where are you going to pee?"

The salesman Xiao Zhao smiled: "You go to the backyard to see if you have peed in the alley." With so many people watching, I can't lose it!"

As soon as she said that she couldn't lose it, Mrs. Gao remembered the previous incident of losing the child in the big shelf reservoir. was so frightened that his soul was about to be lost, and he slapped his thigh: "It's broken, did you let the flower shoot take away." ”

Xiao Zhao listened disapplausively: "No, my daughter plays here every day, you see when she lost it." ”

Aunt Gao was anxious: "I'm a grandson, a handle." You're a girl, it's worthless!"

Xiao Zhao was angry when she heard this, she couldn't hear such words the most. Her mother-in-law in the family spoke in exactly the same tone as the tall lady at this time. said that her daughter is a girl and the film is worthless, why is it not valuable, this is her sweetheart.

Aunt Gao was too lazy to talk to Xiao Zhao, and looked everywhere in front of the house and behind the house in a panic. There was no one in the public toilet at the back, and the old man who asked the doorman said that he didn't run into the backyard. The children who were playing with Niu Niu around also said that they didn't see it, and in the blink of an eye, the child was gone.

When Kou Xi and Chen Hong heard that Niu Niu was gone, they also panicked.
