Chapter 187 Popsicle (1)
When she got closer, she found that he was crying silently while watching the ewe with her lamb grazing. Then she realized that her little brother was also so sad.
Ruan Jiaojiao did not go up to comfort him. She did not know what to comfort him with. She thought that perhaps time was the best medicine to dilute all the hurt.
——
Two months passed in a flash.
The weather in April was still a little refreshing, but the weather in June officially began to be scorching.
Ruan Jiaojiao could not stand the heat. She lay on the rocking chair drowsy in the early morning. Ruan Lin went to the village entrance to see the house. Because the closer the house was to completion, the more excited she was. She had to go back and forth to see it countless times every day.
Xu Xu also went out early in the morning.
He was very good at hunting and would bring back some prey every now and then, but the Ruan family never coveted his things and exchanged them all for money according to his ideas.
Xu Xu did not keep the money after taking it. Except for a part of it for Ruan Jiaojiao's three older brothers who were studying in the town to buy candies and delicious food for Ruan Jiaojiao, the rest was all given to Ruan Jiaojiao.
Ruan Jiaojiao counted it roughly yesterday and found that it was almost a hundred yuan.
She was secretly shocked. This little villain can really make money. You know, even Ruan Jianguo used to work in a factory and only made more than 30 yuan a month, which was still much better than most people's income.
Generally, a hundred yuan is basically the income of a family for most of the year.
And he made so much in two months.
Ruan Linshi and Ruan Jianguo were also shocked at first, but when they thought that he could bring Ruan Jiaojiao back from the front mountain, it was not against the sky to have such a little ability.
Ruan Jiaojiao occasionally hunted things, but she didn't dare to hunt a wild boar like before, because it would attract too much attention. She only hunted small prey occasionally to improve the lives of the Ruan family.
So in the past two months, the Ruan family has been able to eat meat almost anywhere, and everyone has become plump at a visible speed, with the little fat boy as the leader. He was fat to begin with, and now he is so fat that he has to breathe heavily when walking.
Xu Xu has also become plump, and is more handsome than before. Many times, Ruan Jiaojiao can't help but stare at him, and the longer they get along, the more she can feel a familiar aura from him, but she can't remember it even if she tries hard to think about it.
"Hey." Ruan Jiaojiao sighed. The hot weather made her feel bad. She turned over in the rocking chair and continued to stare at one place in a daze.
There were footsteps outside.
There were also hawking voices.
"I'm selling popsicles. Red bean, green bean, whatever. Two for one cent. Come and buy them." The voice was long and loud, accompanied by the sound of bicycle bells.
"I'm selling popsicles. Two." Ruan Lin's voice.
Ruan Jiaojiao immediately got up from the rocking chair and ran to the door to see. As expected, she saw Ruan Linshi standing in front of a bicycle. Behind the bicycle was a box wrapped in a military blanket, which was emitting white steam.
"Jiaojiao, come here and see what flavor you like." Seeing Ruan Jiaojiao coming out, Ruan Linshi immediately called her.
"Grandma, what is this?" Ruan Jiaojiao stood on tiptoe curiously and wanted to look into the box, but unfortunately her height did not allow her to do so, so she could only jump to look inside.
Ruan Linshi smiled and picked her up: "Did you forget? Choose one of the popsicles you ate last year. Where's Xiaoxu? Why didn't you see it?"
