Chapter 19 The Confused State

"Mom won't eat it. I've eaten this wild fruit before. It's so sour and my teeth are broken. My teeth hurt when I saw it."

Xu Jiaojiao peeled off one and fed it into her mouth, "Mom, try it, this is sweet. If you don't believe it, just lick it..."

The old girl recommended it so hard that Xu Zhang closed his eyes and took a small taste with a brave expression.

Immediately, his tightly closed eyes opened in surprise.

"Huh?!"

He took another bite and said, "This fruit is really sweet? The sweetness dilutes the sour taste. It has more meat and a smaller core. It tastes good. Girl, where did you pick this?"

"It's picked from the wild fruit forest in the mountains. It's called loquat fruit. It's delicious. Mom, eat more of it. The weather is hot now. Eating this fruit can dispel the heat and eliminate fatigue."

Xu Zhang said suspiciously, "That's not right, old girl, I have tasted the fruits in that wild fruit forest, and your brothers have picked them and eaten them before. Even pigs don't like to eat them. They are so unpalatable.

It’s bitter, sour, astringent, and numb, with less meat, a larger core, and thicker skin. This one is different!”

Xu Jiaojiao explained the reason.

Mrs. Xu Zhang suddenly realized, "My Jiaojiao is so smart that she actually knows such a big truth. By the way, Jiaojiao, how do you know how to climb a tree?"

No matter how she looked at Xu Jiaojiao's figure, Mrs. Xu Zhang did not believe that Xu Jiaojiao could climb a tree.

"That's how I climbed. I usually watched Saburo and Shiro climb trees, and I learned how to do it! I just have a lot of fat on my body, so it's hard to climb up. When I lose weight, I can climb faster!"

When Mrs. Xu Zhang heard this, she thought this was a big deal, "Oh, my dear, you are so lucky that my mother and I have worked so hard to raise you, but it can't be reduced. If you go out, who are you from all over the country?"

Don’t you envy your good fortune? There’s no way you can do that!”

The corners of Xu Jiaojiao's eyes twitched. She really didn't want such a blessing.

Let’s not talk about this to Xu Zhang for now.

Changing one's old ideas is not something that can be done in a short while. I will talk about it slowly later when I have time and effort.

She peeled another big fruit for Mrs. Xu Zhang and fed it to Mrs. Xu Zhang's mouth. "Mom, if it's delicious, eat more! Mom, you said this loquat tastes pretty good. If I take it to the town and sell it,

Can I sell it for some money?"

This is the point.

I picked a basket full and the whole family couldn't finish it.

Mrs. Xu Zhang enjoyed the filial piety of her old daughter, thought about it seriously, and was not too optimistic, "No one wants it! Most people have eaten this fruit, and they all know that it is difficult to eat, and life is not easy now. There are many

People don’t have enough to eat, and they don’t have enough money to buy fruits to eat. At most, they just buy some for the children at home to try..."

Xu Jiaojiao knew for sure that she was not afraid of the prejudice against this kind of fruit. She could give it to customers to taste for free.

Some people also like this sour, sweet and numbing thing.

If you think it tastes good, buy it.

He smiled and said, "You can buy some for the kids to try. I don't expect to make a lot of money from this. I will earn some small money and buy candies for my mother. Mom, I will go to the town tomorrow to sell loquat fruits!"

When Mrs. Xu Zhang saw Xu Jiaojiao so happy, it was not easy to dampen her enthusiasm.

Xujia Village is not far from the town. People in the village go to the town to sell their things after hunting or selling. There are also distinguished guests coming to the village. They all run all the way to the town to buy something good. Children with strong legs come.

It only takes half an hour to go.

Mrs. Xu Zhang did not object, "Okay, Mom will give you ten big bucks tomorrow, and you can go to town to buy meat buns to eat! You haven't eaten big meat buns for several days. I know you are panicking. It's just that you haven't recovered from the cold.

Is it okay to go out and play all day without taking a break?"

have to!

This is obviously not optimistic about Xu Jiaojiao's loquat business.

He also gave her pocket money to buy meat buns to eat, just to let her go out for fun.

There is really no limit to how much Mrs. Xu Zhang dotes on her daughter.

"Mom, I'm fine. Wind chill means cold air enters the body. I need to go out for a run more and my body will be fine if I sweat a little."

Xu Zhang smiled and said, "That's good."

Xu Jiaojiao grabbed several more loquat fruits and said, "I'll give the second brother, second sister-in-law, fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law some loquats to eat too."

Mrs. Xu Zhang raised her eyebrows and said, "Fuck them! What qualifications do they have to eat the fruits picked by our precious daughter? They are the boss, and they can only pick fruits for you to eat, so how can you give them to them?"

Why do they eat? There’s no need to go, it’s a waste to eat the fruit for them. It’s better to sell it tomorrow. If you can’t sell it, it’s better to feed the chickens than to give it to these bastards and white-eyed wolves to eat comfortably..."

Xu Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Mom, this fruit is not worth anything. We are a family, not outsiders. Today I will give fruits to my brother and sister-in-law. If they have good things next time, I don't need to ask mom to tell me. Naturally

That reminds me of me, relationships are all about reciprocity."

Mrs. Xu Zhang snorted coldly, "They should think about you first when I was pregnant with you. When I was pregnant with you, I gave them all the good things. You suffered so much in my belly. You were less than a month old when you were born, and you were so thin."

You're like a monkey, so pitiful, why can't they keep you?"

"Mom, this is the truth. You are right, but old things are always mentioned, and someone else would be tired of hearing them. Mom, let's not talk about these old things. A family must be harmonious, and brothers, friends, and sisters must respect each other.

Otherwise, it’s meaningless, and blindly suppressing them forcefully is not a good idea.”

At this time, Xu Youde came into the room and looked at Xu Jiaojiao in amazement.

"Brothers, friends, sisters, Gong, these four words are well used! We are a family of scholars who have produced scholars. I like what Jiaojiao said today. I have the demeanor of your scholar brother. It seems that we, Jiaojiao, are starting to become sensible.

, a family just needs to be in harmony. Go ahead!”

With Xu Youde's help, Xu Zhang couldn't stop him anymore.

It was originally a small thing.

This fruit is not valuable, it is just a piece of your heart.

After Xu Jiaojiao left, Mrs. Xu Zhang said with emotion, "Poor our Jiaojiao, after wandering on the edge of life and death for a while, her heart has become more and more kind, so sensible, it makes people feel bad. You always said that I took my daughter for granted."

She has been spoiled to the point of being spoiled, spoiled, now, look! Look at us Jiaojiao! Among the whole family, we, Jiaojiao, are the most sensible, kind-hearted and the most affectionate. I can’t pamper such a good girl.

, who do I spoil? You damn old man, be nicer to Jiaojiao from now on, you always look at her with wrong noses and wrong eyes, she is better than any of your ten sons!"

Xu Youde couldn't answer these words.

I went to pack my cigarette pouch by myself.

When Xu Jiaojiao gave fruits to the second and fourth bedrooms, everyone in the second and fourth bedrooms was in a state of confusion.

Everyone is surprised!
