chapter 06.

After coming down the mountain, Xue Youka used an electronic scale to weigh ten kilograms of tea for them and received three hundred yuan in banknotes.

He had rarely seen so much money. The three pink Mao Zedong pictures made the smile on his face brighter and brighter, like a little sun: "Thank you, Uncle Chu! Goodbye, uncle." He waved to Cheng Yu, "Goodbye, brother!"

The tea-buying customer walked away, and his grandparents came back. Grandpa got off the old tricycle and shouted: "Mimi, grandpa bought you something delicious."

Xue Youka quickly ran out and found a bag of Shaqima and various roasted seeds and nuts.

"Your mother won't let me buy you candy, saying you have bad teeth."

Xue Youka looked depressed and silently took a pack of Shaqima: "Thank you, grandpa, I like to eat Shaqima too."

Grandpa half bent over, rubbed his head, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the shoes on his feet: "Are you going out to play? Why are the shoes covered with mud?"

"Ah... this, I..." Xue You held a hot three hundred yuan bill in his card bag. He felt a little uneasy. He hesitated for a few seconds and finally took out the money.

He said everything in detail.

"How much did you say? Ten jins? Our tea merchants usually charge 18 yuan for it, and individual customers buy it wholesale for 25 yuan. Why did you charge 31 jins? And you still sold it for ten jins?" Grandpa?

Holding three hundred-dollar bills in his hand, he was dumbfounded.

My grandson is also very capable.

Xue Youka hesitated: "Just...I thought it was thirty yuan. Wasn't it only a dozen yuan a few years ago? They are not locals either. Making five more yuan is better than losing money. Do you think it's grandpa?"

?”

He also asked a question.

The grandfather couldn't laugh or cry, and asked his grandson to take him to see which box of tea was sold to others. Xue Youka pointed to the box in the corner: "I see that this box is open, and the others are sealed, so

I shoveled ten kilograms out of it and gave it to the guest."

"My dear, why did you sell the old tea from the year before last?"

"Ah? Is that Chen Cha?" Xue Youka scratched his head, "Then I...I don't know, I don't see it either, so what should I do, grandpa? Will he say that our family is a liar?"

"Are they from other places? Did they leave a phone number? Did they say where they found out about our tea garden?"

"I know where they live. They live on the other side of the river! I've been there!"

Early the next morning, grandma packed ten kilograms of new tea, and Xue Youka each carried a plastic bag. After crossing the bridge, Xue Youka showed the way: "It's a very beautiful house with many flowers planted there.

"

Grandma has an impression, because the land used to belong to a local family. They sold it more than ten years ago, and the house was torn down and renovated. It was an extremely beautiful mansion, not like a rural courtyard at all. But the house was repaired.

After that, I almost never saw anyone living there, and I don’t know who bought it.

Grandma and Xue Youka walked for a while, and by being familiar with the road here, they quickly found the mansion.

The wisteria has faded, and in summer, a patch of dark green ivy climbs on the exterior wall of the house. The lush trees are a rare and valuable species.

"Is it here?" Grandma asked him.

"It's here, I've been here before." Xue Youka stood on tiptoe to look, but couldn't see anything. He simply put the tea leaves on the steps and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

Soon, the door opened from the inside.

Uncle Wei only opened half of the door, saw an old woman, and asked, "Who is she?"

Then, he saw the child next to him.

Grandma gestured with the tea leaves and explained in dialect: "That's it, we are from the Xue Family Tea Garden. My grandson said that you came to buy tea yesterday. That tea was his mistake! That is old tea. It's not new tea, so we came here specially to replace the tea leaves."

She spoke in dialect, but Uncle Wei only understood half of it: "Oh, tea!"

Yesterday, Cheng Yu, his grandfather and Cheng Yu came back with so much tea. Uncle Wei was wondering why he bought so much.

"Come, come, come in, come in!" He invited his mother-in-law and grandson in and shouted.

It was the first time that Xue Youka came in. He looked at the house, his eyes were full of surprise, and his mouth was slightly open.

It turned out that there was something special inside, it was so beautiful, he didn’t know how to describe it, but it was really the quietest and most beautiful house he had ever seen. It had an antique courtyard, cornices, long corridors, and carved beams and painted buildings that looked like pictures. The courtyard was even more amazing. The exquisite and exquisite stone slabs are covered with moss, and together with rockery stones, pine trees, stone lanterns, squats, and hand water bowls, they form a miniature natural landscape. The courtyard and indoors are semi-open, and the interior decoration is very Modern, clear cement walls, black leather sofas, a return to nature wabi-sabi style and a mountain garden are perfectly integrated.

Xue Youka looked up and saw a figure on the second floor, their eyes colliding in the air.

Xue Youka realized that it was his brother whom he had met yesterday. After thinking about it, he waved.

Cheng Yu's eyes were fixed on him for a moment, then he looked away and continued to compose his own music on the computer with headphones on.

Chu Jin came out to greet the guests: "Hey? It's you, kid."

"Hello, Uncle Chu." Xue Youka said hello to him and explained the purpose of his visit, "I made a mistake yesterday and accidentally sold you old tea. This is new tea at home."

"Then why did you go all the way?" Chu Jin saw the hunched figure of Xue Youka's grandmother, with sweat on her forehead, and had to sigh in his heart about the simplicity of the people.

So I asked them to sit down in the shade of the courtyard.

Uncle Wei went to make a pot of Pu'er and brought it to the table. Grandma took out a fifty yuan note from her purse and said, "This kid also got the price wrong. Ten kilograms of this Lingyun pekoe tea is considered the wholesale price. Twenty-five kilograms. He charged 300 yuan, which is 50 yuan more. The child didn’t do it on purpose, and I apologize on his behalf. We do business with integrity and will never cheat customers."

Chu Jin understood 80% of the local dialect here, and he just smiled when he heard it: "Your children took us up the mountain to pick tea leaves, and even picked some back. He didn't take the money for it. Fifty, you don’t have to pay it back, but we have earned it. It’s not easy for you to come all the way here carrying such heavy tea leaves. Let’s have some tea and rest. As for me, I usually like to drink tea. Your tea leaves are taken care of. Very good, very high quality.”

Xue Youka sat there and took a sip of tea.

He couldn't figure out why he was drinking. His mouth felt hot.

Uncle Wei saw it and took a bottle of drink from the refrigerator for him.

Chu Jin bought this for his grandson Cheng Yu before. Who knew that Cheng Yu didn't eat snacks, let alone drinks.

Xue Youka took the bottle of orange juice and said thank you, uncle.

Uncle Wei then smiled and said, "The snacks are all placed upstairs. Can I take you upstairs to play?"

Xue Youka looked at grandma.

Grandma shook her head in disapproval. If it was an acquaintance's neighbor's house, that would be fine. This family looked extraordinary. How could they let their children run wild in other people's houses?

Chu Jin said: "My brother is playing on the computer in the room upstairs. How about you go up and play with me?"

Hearing "playing computer", Xue Youka immediately said: "Okay! I want to go upstairs to play with my brother!"

Chu Jin smiled knowingly: "Go ahead, go ahead."

"Grandma...can I go?" Xue Youka grabbed her sleeve.

Grandma couldn't say anything: "Don't touch other people's things."

"I know!"

Uncle Wei took him upstairs and knocked on the door. The door was open. Uncle Wei stood by the door and asked, "Xiao Yu, my sister came to play with you."

Xue Youka wanted to say that she was not her sister, but her full attention was immediately attracted by the computer on her brother's desk.

Wow, laptop!!

Xue Youka has never seen such a beautiful laptop computer. He has only seen bulky Tsinghua Tongfang computers, school computer rooms and Hupi home computers, all of which are huge desktop computers.

His eyes were shining, but the master hadn't spoken yet, and he was too embarrassed to go in, so he stood outside the door.

Cheng Yu sat on the chair and turned half a circle, just in time to see his cute look with bright eyes. After a few seconds, he said: "Come in."

Xue Youka rushed in.

As a result, a person suddenly appeared outside the door: "Little sister, brother has a mobile phone here, do you want to play with it?"

Xue Youka looked up and saw that it was the smiling brother he met in the car that night.

"There are also potato chips to eat."

Cheng Ziwei leaned against the door and raised his fingers at him.

He was really bored staying here. If he hadn't wanted to show off in front of his grandfather and play Cheng Yu's good brother, why would he have spent his summer vacation in such a ungrateful place?

Xue Youka looked up at Cheng Yu, who was very cold, and then looked at Cheng Ziwei, who was smiling.

Make your choice quickly.

This person who doesn't like to laugh obviously doesn't welcome me.

Xue Youka followed Cheng Ziwei without thinking. When Uncle Wei came in with snacks, he found that the child was missing. When he asked Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu only said two words: "Next door."

If you listen carefully, you will find that the person next door is indeed talking.

Uncle Wei had a headache. This Cheng Ziwei, no matter how polite he behaved, had an inherent predatory nature that made him involuntarily compete with Cheng Yu, even for insignificant things.

The soundproofing of the room was not very good. After Uncle Wei went out, Cheng Yu could even hear the voices next door.

"Little sister, how old are you?"

"Well, thirteen years old." Xue Youka ate potato chips and played Lianliankan on his mobile phone.

"Oh, I'm thirteen years old." Cheng Ziwei smiled and looked at him playfully, holding his chin. He had never been to such a small and backward county, and he had never seen two good-looking county girls on the street.

But the person in front of him, although he had short hair and tacky clothes, had extremely beautiful features and skin as white as porcelain. Cheng Ziwei finally found some interest in his extremely boring life.

When he lowered his head, he accidentally looked into the little girl's loose collar.

Why is he so flat-chested?
