A few days before starting to purchase watermelons, Yu He tried his best to help Hanwen. After all, she was a girl over fourteen years old, and she had to ride a bicycle for more than thirty miles every day, so she became tired and sick on the third day. Her parents were also very opposed to her involvement in such things, so she was locked at home and supervised by her sister.
Hanwen was too busy to visit her. Since the acquisition of Watermelon, he has almost never been home, and Dadi and Hao Jun couldn't stand it even after working with Hao Jun for several days. After using the supply and marketing cooperative's accountants, cashiers, and several employees, as well as the help of Manager Li and Xu Lina, the purchase of watermelons and the production of pickles were on the right track. He simply asked Hao Jun and Dadi to go home. rest.
In the second week after the watermelon purchase started, his mother brought his father back from the provincial capital for medical treatment. When I got home, I heard my younger brother say, "Brother, we are collecting watermelons at the county supply and marketing cooperative!" I felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.
Her father and younger brother hurriedly helped her sit down on the sofa. After five or six minutes, she slowly woke up. She suddenly stood up and shouted hysterically: "Boss! Boss, life at home is just getting better. Why do you start fussing over this year's watermelons? Are you able to eat them? You still dare to buy them, just because you have money to burn."
At this time, the eldest brother came back from the county town and heard his mother shouting as soon as he entered the house. He rushed to his mother in three steps and said: "Mom, please keep your voice down, everyone in the building can hear your shouting. You started to lose your temper without understanding the situation, and you are not afraid of making your body angry." "
His father was still very weak after the illness, so he weakly asked Hanwu: "Your brother, why are you harvesting rotten watermelons?" Hanwu said proudly: "Dad, my brother's brain is so good. It's not what he thought. When it came out, the watermelon was inedible, but the seeds inside were very plump and the watermelon rind was also very thick. My brother collected the watermelon at the cheapest price and hired someone to tame the watermelon seeds and use the watermelon rind to guess along the line!"
When her mother heard this, her eyes really got big and she said: "It's true, when I was in the provincial capital, I also saw people making watermelon seeds! But your brother only has a total capital of more than 20,000 yuan, how can he make such a big thing?" Business?"
Hanwu said proudly: "There are many people who support my brother. Manager Li from the county supply and marketing cooperative, the director of the station, and the one who treats my brother best is Xu Lina, the buyer from the county supply and marketing cooperative. His father is Where is the secretary-general of the county party committee!¡±
His father was worried and asked: "Who wants so many pickles made from watermelon seeds and watermelon rinds?" Hanwu replied very excitedly: "The county supply and marketing cooperative, the supply and marketing cooperative in the neighboring county, plus the service agency at the station, will Melon seeds and pickles are all included. My brother secretly told me that if this time goes well together, we can earn 100,000 yuan!"
When his father and mother heard the figure of one hundred thousand, they were so frightened that their mouths opened wide and they remained motionless as if they were stupid. The younger brother didn't have much feeling for the number one hundred thousand, so he asked innocently: "Second brother, can one hundred thousand dollars fill our house?"
Hanwu gently knocked on his father's back and said to his mother: "Mom, where is your usual heroic spirit? You won't be scared off by one hundred thousand yuan!" His mother stood up and took it from the cabinet. I put on a clean set of clothes, took a cold shower in the kitchen, and walked out the door fully dressed.
Hanwu shouted loudly: "Mom, you'd better have a good rest! You have been taking care of my dad for more than two weeks, and he is already tired and thin. My brother is fine. The supply and marketing cooperative has arranged a place for him to sleep, and his meals are there. He eats in the canteen of the supply and marketing cooperative, and on Sunday, Sister Xu even calls him home to cook delicious food. I just can¡¯t figure it out, how come my brother is liked by girls wherever he goes?"
After hearing this, her mother turned around and said to Hanwu: "I asked the old Taoist priest from the building management station to tell your brother's fortune. He said that your brother will have good fortune and luck in his life. He will be surrounded by women all his life. If that doesn't work, I still have to go and have a look. The sister Xu you mentioned must be older than your brother. Your brother is still too young to have a girlfriend now, let alone have any kind of affairs. It's so harmful to the body!"
When his mother rushed to the supply and marketing cooperative, Hanwen was having dinner in Xu Lina's office. Xu Lina was wearing a pink dress, sitting next to him very coquettishly, and kept picking up food for him.
She asked jokingly: "If someone asks about our relationship, how would you answer?" He took the last bite of rice in the bowl into his mouth, chewed it for a long time and swallowed it before saying: "Sister, fuck sister."
Xu Lina said a little dissatisfied: "I don't want to be your sister, how about being your girlfriend?" He said without hesitation: "No, don't forget, I am still a student! Students are not allowed to fall in love. Besides, if we fall in love, can your father, your mother, my father and my mother agree?"
Xu Lina sighed and said, "It would be nice if you were a few years older or I was a few years younger. Then what is our relationship in the future?" He drank the boiling water in the bowl and said, "Can you be my confidante? In person In front of me, you are my sister."
Just as he was talking, there was a knock on the door, and Xu Lina opened the door.??I don¡¯t know you. I was just going to ask who you are looking for? Hanwen stood up and shouted excitedly: "Mom, when did you come back? Is my hand okay?"
His mother looked at her dark and skinny son, tears streaming down her face, and choked with sobs: "Boss, look how thin you have become. Come home with your mother quickly!"
He helped his mother sit down on a chair. Xu Lina made a cup of tea and brought it to her and said: "Auntie, Hanwen can't go back now. Later, we have to check the pickling work of pickles and count the number of watermelons purchased today. , and checkout, etc"
Hanwen winked at Xu Lina, and Xu Lina said politely: "Auntie, sit down first. I have something to do when I go out." Hanwen looked at Xu Lina's back and said to his mother: "Mom, don't worry too much about me. I It¡¯s good. Once this business is done, I¡¯ll have no problem paying for my dad¡¯s medical treatment.¡±
Her mother touched her son's face and said, "Boss, tell me honestly, what is your relationship with the woman who just went out?" He said calmly: "Good friends, business partners. Mom, my Don't worry about it. When the time comes, I will definitely get you a daughter-in-law that you are satisfied with. I'm still young now, so don't worry about my emotional affairs."
His mother said angrily: "I am your mother, can I ignore you? How sure are you that you will definitely make money this time?" He said without hesitation: "100%, Mom, have you eaten? Do you want me?" Going to get you some food?"
Mom waved her hand and said, "No, I'm just here to see you. Take care of yourself, eat well and sleep well. Mom will go home and wait for your good news."
He sent his mother out of the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative and whispered: "Mom, don't worry about other things. Take good care of my dad! I may not be able to go back for half a month. I have made money this time, so I must I¡¯ll buy you some good clothes to wear. How many years have you been wearing these clothes?¡±
Her mother smiled and said, "You have made money and can cure your father's disease! Our family will have a good life. Go back! Take care of yourself." She turned around, got on the car and left with tears in her eyes.
Xu Lina stood more than twenty meters away from him, looking at the mother and son from a distance. Hanwen was indeed dark and thin, and could not eat or sleep well for more than two weeks. Others can work three shifts, but he must keep an eye on them all the time.
Xu Lina and him went to the back door first and took a look at the acquisition of watermelon. The queue of cars delivering watermelons is more than 500 meters long, and there are cars coming from far away.
He and Xu Lina discussed whether to open another spot to harvest the watermelons as soon as possible so that the fellow villagers could go home early. Xu Lina nodded and said: "The announcement says that we will get off work at nine o'clock in the evening, so why don't we two work in person for two hours!"
He was very moved after hearing what Xu Lina said. He also meant this, but he was really embarrassed to tell Xu Lina.
After opening an additional purchase point, the flow of people quickly decreased. At 8:50, all the people delivering watermelons finally left. Xu Lina's pink dress was soaked on the chest and back. Back in the office, the two of them drank a large teacup of cold water.
He slumped in the chair, and he could smell the sweat on his body. Xu Lina rested for a few minutes and said lazily: "Let's go! Go to my house. You need to take a good bath. The public bathhouse is closed. Come to my house and I will boil some hot water for you to take a good shower."
He didn¡¯t want to go. On the one hand, he didn¡¯t want to trouble her, and on the other hand, he didn¡¯t want to see his parents. She saw through his thoughts at a glance, and said with a sneer on her lips: "Stop being hypocritical. What you are thinking in your mind must be not to trouble her. Don't get too close to her, and it will be difficult to escape in the future. Are you like this? Thought?"
He said a little embarrassedly: "I really don't think so, I just think that troublesome you have a bad influence on you. Besides, I don't know what to say when I meet your parents?"
Xu Lina took his hand and said, "Let's go! My dad went to the province for a meeting. My mom went to my grandma's house in the countryside. There is no one at home today."
The two of them walked side by side. It was very hot and there was no wind at all. Both sides of the streets in the county town are filled with people enjoying the cool weather. The county party committee compound and the supply and marketing cooperative compound were only less than fifty meters apart, and the two of them walked for less than ten minutes.
There is a double bed in Xu Lina's boudoir, and the bamboo mat is polished to a shiny shine. He did not sit on the bed, but sat on the bamboo chair next to the bed. Xu Lina took off her sandals and dress, and sat on the bed wearing only her bra and floral shorts.
He lowered his head in embarrassment and did not dare to look at her. She said nonchalantly: "Can you be so generous? It makes me embarrassed. We don't know each other, so there's no need to pretend. It's too hot, so take off your clothes too!"
He didn¡¯t move, so she glanced disdainfully and walked towards the kitchen. She dragged the big bathtub to the balcony, mixed the hot water and said to him: "Go and wash it! I'll look for you to see if there are any of my dad's clothes."There is nothing suitable for you to pass on. "
He took off his clothes and poured water on his body with a towel. Every time he rubs it, a lot of dirt will fall into the water. After a while, who turned black. He wanted to change another basin of water, but she was washing the clothes he had changed in the kitchen.
He called her embarrassedly: "Sister Xu, is there any hot water? It's too dirty. I want a basin of hot water." She walked out of the kitchen and came to get the bathtub. He hurriedly bent down, picked up the bathtub, and walked to the kitchen. Because he exerted too much force, the towel wrapped around his waist fell off and fell to the ground.
He hurriedly put down the bathtub and put a towel around it. She impatiently dodged the towel and said, "Go and pour out the dirty water. I'll replace it with clean water. A grown man is more coquettish than a woman."
