Chapter XXXVII
After returning home, Aunt Liu bought a few new dustpans, packed the preserved fruits into different categories, and prepared them to sell them at the market.
Early the next morning, Daddy Liu was in the yard to assign tasks.
"Liu Er is at home with Xiaoliu. Liu Yi, Liu Wu, had breakfast and hurried to school. Your mother and I took Qiqi to the market to sell preserved fruits, success or failure in this move, everyone arranged their own things! ”
"Yes!" The children replied in unison.
Aunt Liu hugged Liu Qiqi, sat on the board car and swayed towards the town, Qiqi's round eyes stared at the outside world.
When she was about to get to the market, her little mouth also pouted, there were many things in this world that she had never seen before, fresh and interesting.
Daddy Liu looked back at the two of them, his eyes were full of happiness.
When he arrived at the bazaar, Daddy Liu saw the stitches and occupied a surround near the intersection, which was a location with a large flow of people.
But after a while, the husband and wife felt that something was wrong, the pickles sold next door were frequently opened, and they sold several catties in ten minutes, but there were people who watched here, but almost no one bought them.
"Why don't you shout?" Aunt Liu hugged Liu Qiqi and gave Daddy Liu an opinion.
As soon as Aunt Liu mentioned letting him sell, her face turned red all of a sudden, and her hands and feet were not very obedient, so she held back a sentence for a long time, "Why don't you shout?" ”
Aunt Liu rolled her eyes angrily on the spot, if she has this ability, what else do you want you to do?
Daddy Liu was still unwilling, and wanted Aunt Liu to sell, so he saw Aunt Liu using her hand as a fan to shade Liu Qiqi under the scorching sun.
Daddy Liu felt very uncomfortable, he knew that he would come by himself, why did he bring the child out to suffer?
His heart was crossed, and he began to shout for Liu Qiqi to go home early.
"Everyone come and see, the farmhouse's homemade preserved fruits! Fresh and delicious, clean and hygienic! Daddy Liu crossed his waist and shouted.
Aunt Liu, who was holding the child next to her, was startled, and then smiled.
After a while, Daddy Liu seemed to have opened his mind, and he shouted for a while, and suddenly felt that his whole body was transparent.
"Everyone is welcome to come and try it!"
"We are all freshly picked and made!"
Aunt Liu was also interested, and she hugged Qiqi and shouted a few times, which made Liu Qiqi laugh in her arms.
The husband and wife glanced at each other, and the smile in the corner of their eyes spread like vines.
But after shouting for a while, people just stopped in front of the board car to take a look, and their footsteps rolled forward like wheels, and no one wanted to buy it.
"Isn't this the fruit you dried? I will too. A middle-aged woman muttered as she felt the couple was robbing the money.
The woman next to her echoed, "yes, who's to say it's not? There's really nothing to shop in the bazaar, how can everything be sold, last time I heard my man say, there are still people selling rotten wood! ”
The corners of Daddy Liu's mouth twitched a few times.
Suddenly, the little hand that had been chubby reached out to the preserved fruit, "Mom! I want to eat this, it looks delicious! ”
Daddy Liu was overjoyed in his heart, finally someone recognized the goods, he quickly cheered up and greeted him.
"You," he said before he could say anything, but was interrupted by the mother's sharp voice, "Eat, eat! You know what you eat, is there anything else you don't think is delicious? The food that your grandmother fed the chickens was eaten by you again yesterday, right?! ”
The chubby little boy looked innocent and looked at the preserved fruit in front of him pitifully.
Daddy Liu lost face, and shrank back to the back of the cart with a black face.
Just when the little fat man's mother was teaching him, Aunt Liu handed Qiqi to Daddy Liu to hold, picked up the paper bag that had been pasted in advance, and filled a small bag for the little fat man.
"Here, these are for you, you can take them home and eat them slowly." Aunt Liu handed the bag to the child's hand.
The child's mother was very embarrassed, and hurriedly took out the money bag to calculate the money for Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu refused to accept anything, and the two of them resisted for a long time.
In the end, the child's mother couldn't resist Aunt Liu's enthusiasm, and said with a red face: "How embarrassing is this? It's all my fault for this kid, it's so greedy! ”
After speaking, the mother also glared at her child, the little fat man had already opened the bag and fed himself, and he was tasting it with relish at the moment.
Aunt Liu felt a lot more comfortable when she saw that the child liked it so much, she waved her hand again and again, "The child likes to eat these sweet and sour, it's okay, if you like to eat more." ”
Looking at the distant backs of the mother and son, a white light flashed in Aunt Liu's mind, and she became annoyed, "What am I doing?!" I forgot the biggest thing, I forgot to sell it! ”
She looked at Daddy Liu, who was holding the child, with a dejected face, feeling that she was worthless.
Daddy Liu felt that it was not a problem at all, and comforted his wife, "It's okay, it's okay, you've taken a big step, much better than me." ”
Just as Aunt Liu was talking to Daddy Liu, a figure pressed in front of her, "Huh? Isn't this Lao Liu? ”
The couple looked up, and Aunt Liu was surprised and delighted, "Aunt Zhang?!" What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here! ”
Daddy Liu's face was pressed with a layer of black clouds, thinking that it was really difficult for his daughter-in-law, and he had learned to act, how could he meet this nasty ghost.
This Aunt Zhang is a distant relative of Daddy Liu, and she is usually a broken mouth who likes to tell right and wrong, I heard that she has followed her husband to the north, why did she come back here?
"yes, what a coincidence! I also went back to my mother's house to see my mother, and I was going to take my mother to my house to enjoy happiness. ”
Aunt Zhang shook a small fan, looked at the two of Liu Daddy who were setting up the stall with pity, and suddenly felt a sense of superiority.
The people around her all cast unfriendly glances at her, why are we in a poor place?
Aunt Zhang's hand-made orchid fingers, twisted up the preserved fruit on the cart and looked at it, "This is what you did?" ”
"Yes, you taste it."
Aunt Liu was polite and wanted to send the guest off quickly.
Aunt Zhang looked at the preserved fruit suspiciously, and in the end, she did not escape this temptation, stuffed it into her mouth, and suddenly opened her eyes wide, she couldn't help but grab another handful, and ate one after another.
At the same time, she found that the little girl in Daddy Liu's arms had been staring at her curiously, and she felt a little strange in her heart, "Didn't you give birth to another son?" When did you have a girl? ”
"The last child gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, but fortunately it was not two sons."
Hearing this, Aunt Zhang's face sank, and she felt that Aunt Liu was secretly poking and poking at her sarcasm that she couldn't give birth to a son.
The old Liu family didn't know what was wrong, and gave birth to a string of sons in a row. I gave birth to a string of girls! The anger was also to death.
Today is even more excessive, deliberately holding out a girl to be angry with herself.
Aunt Zhang had a gloomy face and hugged the preserved fruit, "You guys must not be able to sell it, right?" Why don't you give them all to me, and I'll be kind enough to take them with you. ”
She pretended to pity Liu Qiqi, and raised her hand to pinch the little girl's face, "Look at the little girl, look at the poor little girl, hurry up and take her home to rest!" Children can't bask in the sun so much. ”
