Chen Xingling secretly held back a smile and asked, "Then can you wait until the next Chinese New Year to eat candy?" ”

"Can't!" Little Huzi replied with tears in his eyes: "I want to eat it now!" Someone out there sells it! I want to eat! ”

Gu Qi leaned against the wall, looking at him with a smile in his eyes.

"You've run out of money, do you want to rely on spilling around to get money for sugar?"

The little guy originally wanted to cry, with the bad idea of "you don't give me money, don't buy me candy - I'll cry", but before he started crying, he was ruthlessly exposed by his father, and now he is not crying, not crying, and he froze in place.

He tilted his head and thought for a moment and asked, "Mom, what about ...... So how do you get rich? ”

"Make money!" Chen Xingling replied with a smile: "Either work for others to make money, or do legal business to make money." The small candy and small candy people can be sold on the New Year street, and no one stops them like the temple fair. A person who sells sugar and sells small balls makes money by selling things, for example, it only takes five cents to be a candy man, and he can sell it for a dime, so he earns five cents. ”

Xiaohuzi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he twisted his fat body anxiously.

"Mom, then I-I'm going to sell candy too, so I can eat a lot of candy people!"

Chen Xingling and Gu Qi glanced at each other, both amused by the little guy's "simple" wish.

Xiaohuzi saw that his parents were laughing, thinking that they had agreed, and immediately shouted that he was going to sell candy on the street.

Chen Xingling got out of bed, put on his shoes, opened the wardrobe and took out the basket.

"Whoa! This is the hawthorn candy made by my mother, let you sell it for money. ”

Xiaohuzi glared curiously and ran over quickly.

Gu Qi raised his eyebrows and stepped forward.

"Xing'er, is this- did you?"

In the past few days, she has been holding a basket and tinkering with something, and from time to time there is a sparse rustling sound, she didn't take the initiative to say, so he didn't ask curiously-I didn't think it was actually the candy she made!

Chen Xingling couldn't explain that he moved out of the supermarket space, so he had to make up an excuse.

"Before, Ah Yi picked a lot of hawthorn fruits from the mountains and came back, but unfortunately it was too sour, and everyone couldn't eat it. I didn't think it would be wasted, so I pickled the fruit and encapsulated it in a corner. Recently, when I had a lot of money, I bought some sugar, boiled the pickled hawthorn into pieces, dried them and cut them into small pieces. These days, when I have time, I will wrap them separately with film paper. ”

Gu Qi glanced at it a few times and found that it could be seen clearly through the film paper, and each piece of hawthorn candy was neatly cut and upright, obviously putting in a lot of effort.

When Xiaohuzi heard that it was "sugar", the little fat hand immediately grabbed a piece, quickly tore open the film paper, and stuffed his mouth without saying a word.

"Hmm~~ delicious! It's delicious! Sweet and sour! ”

Gu Qi glanced at his son, remembering his bold words about "selling sugar and eating sugar" just now, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

"It's a good thing you've done so much, otherwise it wouldn't have been enough for him to eat."

Chen Xingling hugged the basket into his arms and advised: "Little Huzi, there are about 300 of them here." After you have eaten for a while, you and your brother-in-law will go to the street to sell and make money, do you want to? ”

"Yes!" Xiaohuzi immediately raised his hand: "Uncle said that there will be a temple fair the day after tomorrow, and he can only eat and sleep in the past two days." I want to make money, I want to make money with my uncle! ”

With that, he ran out.

After a while, the little guy came with a disheveled and sleepy-eyed Gu Yi.

"Hawthorn candy? No way? Sister-in-law, at that time - didn't all the hawthorns at that time be thrown away? ”

Chen Xingling lied: "I was reluctant to waste it, so I quietly picked it up, washed it and dried it in the back window, and pickled it in an old jar and put it in the shade in the corner." ”

Xiaohuzi was very enthusiastic and tore open the package, and his fat little hand stuffed a mouth into Gu Yi.

"Uncle! Mom's Cooking—It's Delicious! ”

Gu Yi glanced at his hand in disgust and muttered, "I haven't brushed my teeth yet!" You haven't washed your hands - yo! It's really delicious! ”

He looked at Chen Xingling with bright eyes, and he couldn't believe how many times he chewed.

"Sister-in-law, you're too powerful. The hawthorn fruit was so sour that I feel sour when I think about it now! You can make it so delicious! It's sour and sweet, and it tastes appetizing! It's really delicious! It's not easy to make such a sour fruit so delicious! ”

Chen Xingling was secretly a little embarrassed, and smiled.

"It's hard to give up a little more sugar, and it's hard to taste good. It only needs to be boiled out and sliced and cut into small pieces, and there is no technical work. ”

If you weren't afraid of being exposed, you can take a bag of it in the snack area, which is a rare and rare thing in this era!

She searched for a long time in the dazzling snack area, and finally found these bags of hawthorn candy with simple materials and simple methods.

- It's not easy enough!

Xiaohuzi proudly raised his chubby chin and shouted with honor: "My mother is the most powerful mother in the world!" ”

Gu Yi flicked his fat chin and laughed.

"Look at your smug little look!"

"Hahaha!"

……

After breakfast, Gu Yi twisted the basket with one hand and led the little tiger with the other, and went out happily.

After Gu Miao ate a hawthorn candy, she quickly became addicted to it, and chased them out after them.

Li Ying put on a new cotton jacket and wrapped in a new headscarf, and went out to pay New Year's greetings happily.

Gu Qi didn't go back to his hometown for the New Year for a few years, and all his classmates and friends were waiting to get together with him, and as soon as he was full, he was dragged away by his old classmate Liu Shancong, saying that he could only be released at night.

Gu Xuan was hiding in the room to read, but unexpectedly, several female classmates came to call her to go to the department store, and she could only change into new shoes and go out.

As a result, Chen Xingling was the only one left in the huge Gu family.

She has been in Shangjing for several years, and in addition to housework and taking care of her children every day, she almost does not go out of the door, and has no friends and nowhere to go.

However, now she has more choices!

She closed the door and went back to her room, hid in the supermarket space, drank tonic soup, watched TV and listened to music, sat on a massage chair with a mask, ate snacks and gnawed salt-baked chicken feet, and enjoyed a happy New Year by herself.

At noon, Gu Yi came back with Xiaohuzi.

"Mom! I'm rich! Rich! ”

Gu Yi smiled and explained: "Sister-in-law, the hawthorn candy you made is really delicious!" The sale has not stopped since it opened, and a large number of children have come to buy it! One is two cents, and if you buy more, you will get one more, as if it was sold for more than five yuan. ”

Xiaohuzi replied triumphantly: "Five pieces, four cents and two cents." ”

Gu Yi was a little incredulous: "This kid stayed by the side for a while, and soon knew how to help find money - but I was stunned!" ”

Chen Xingling hugged his excited son and said with a smile: "He is like your brother, he seems to be quite talented in mathematics." ”

Xiaohuzi hurriedly took the money out of his pocket and bits and pieces.

"Mom, here you go! It's all for you! ”

Chen Xingling asked funny: "What?" You didn't go buy Sugar Man? ”

"Don't sugar man." Xiaojia said seriously: "The sugar man is not as delicious as the hawthorn candy made by his mother, and he has to spend money to buy it." I have hawthorn candy to eat, so I can't buy candy man anymore. ”
