Chapter 546: The Eldest Aunt's Family

At this moment, in the suburban fruit wholesale market.

In the Dahong Fruit Wholesale Store, the fruit merchant counted the numbers, paid the money readily, and couldn't help but look up at the sign:

"Brother! Your sign's name is prosperous! When I came here to look at goods, I walked around and couldn't remember the location, my mind was full of this 'Dahong'!"

That's how he plunged in!

Didn't expect the goods to be good and the price to be beautiful. The boss was an honest person, and they had been cooperating like this for many years...

It's just that...

"The watermelon market has been okay recently. There are those premium watermelons, get some more!"

"Watermelons are okay again?" Wu Fang asked curiously.

Zhang Hong was also puzzled: "We brought in a batch of watermelons at the beginning of summer, and they sold for a long time... This year, it seems everyone is buying some kind of Yunqiao watermelon, and ordinary premium melons are hard to sell."

There were only so many people willing to spend money. In summer, some people ate them for 80 cents a jin, and some people ate them for eight yuan a jin... But ever since that Yunqiao watermelon came out, it seemed like rich people didn't like ordinary premium ones anymore.

The fruit merchant hurriedly said: "That family's output isn't good, they are out of stock now, it can be sold!"

Wu Fang and Zhang Hong looked at each other and laughed happily: "Okay! The goods can arrive the day after tomorrow!"

Zhang Yanping had just returned and heard the couple still muttering: "You said that Yunqiao watermelon, how can it sell for 20 a jin? And so many people are buying it?"

"Who knows, there are many rich people—if you ask me, Tan Tan's watermelon is the one worth 20!"

"That's true, it's really delicious—Tan Tan said Yanping is coming back today, when is he coming back?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yanping at the door had a very complex look in his eyes.

Song Tan also had a complex expression, thinking, should she divide a batch of late-ripening watermelons for the Eldest Aunt's family?

Then she heard Zhang Yanping ask: "Mom, didn't you eat the watermelon Tan Tan sent?"

They had sent three at the time. If they had eaten them, they wouldn't be talking like this now, right? Yunqiao watermelon, Yunqiao watermelon, actually the trademark name was 【Tian Yuan Ji Shi】.

But when the watermelons were sold locally, they weren't labeled at all, and she didn't know how Old Zhao had spread the name Yunqiao watermelon. Song Tan's village was called Yunqiao Village, hadn't his mother asked around?

Wu Fang was happy, seeing her son return, she first said "Oh my," and then asked: "Why are you so tanned? I video chatted with you, weren't you just idling at home?"

She knew her own son, he wasn't the type to work in the fields, but looking at him so dark now—could it be that he really became diligent at Tan Tan's place?

Zhang Yanping was even more depressed—his genes mutated!

At this moment, he really couldn't listen to the word "dark," so he simply continued to ask: "Did you really eat that melon?"

If they had really eaten it, it wouldn't be like this!

Then he saw Wu Fang and Zhang Hong look at each other, and only then did they say: "We thought this watermelon was especially delicious, and thought it was too rare. In case you wanted to eat it when you came back later and couldn't buy it, we simply juiced it and froze it all into popsicles. Yanping, you're back just in time to eat it—Tan Tan, do you want a watermelon popsicle?"

Zhang Yanping:...

He! Just! Knew! It!

This was a big reason why he was slacking off at home!

Really, there was too much pressure.

At this moment, he was listless, simply waving his hand to reply for Song Tan: "No, we won't eat it... Mom, that melon is Tan Tan's. I've been eating it for months, sending it back was specifically for you to taste."

"Oh my, there's so much fruit here, what can't we eat? The watermelon is left for you, eat it slowly. Anyway, popsicles won't go bad frozen."

Song Tan also felt the pressure was quite heavy. At this moment, she didn't dare to mention sending watermelons over to sell—if she really sent them over to sell, she was afraid the Eldest Aunt wouldn't want a single cent and would sell them all on her behalf!

There was no way, she was just that heartbroken for her child, naturally willing to sacrifice a part of herself, and Eldest Uncle Zhang Hong was no less so!

At this moment, she could only give Zhang Yanping a helpless look, and then decisively said goodbye:

"That... Eldest Aunt, I'm going to my aunt's house later. I won't stay, I'm leaving first!"

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry!" The Eldest Aunt hurriedly called her: "Eat some fruit! These grapes I just brought in are especially expensive! Tan Tan, take a box back..."

Oh my god!

Song Tan ran even faster.

Leaving Zhang Yanping to shout in despair: "Tan Tan, if the family is too busy, don't be embarrassed, remember to call (save) me immediately!"

Song Tan had sharp ears, and even after getting in the car, she could still hear the Eldest Aunt muttering: "Yanping, during the exam preparation at the beginning of the year, didn't you say you wouldn't take the provincial exam and would take the national exam at the end of the year? Do you need to sign up for a prep class?"

Zhang Yanping:... Just let me die.

Xin Jun was at the station, people had been delivered, and Song Tan also carried two jin of dried fish and twenty braising spice packets to the downstairs of her aunt's house.

This time it was okay, it was too hot, and there was basically no one in the courtyard.

She called, and sure enough, her aunt was waiting at home.

As soon as the door opened, a wave of damp heat rushed toward her face, instantly steaming a person into a sweat!

In her aunt's house, an old fan was blowing, and her aunt in front of her was wearing a holey undershirt and shorts, full of enthusiasm:

"Tan Tan is here? Told you not to send, not to send... How good it would be to keep the things to sell for money—come, come, come, come inside to blow the fan, I just sprinkled some water, it's cool!"

That's right, her aunt's secret to saving money—try not to turn on the air conditioner!

What's there to be afraid of when it's hot? It's only thirty-six or thirty-seven degrees, she's not afraid of heat! Just sprinkle some water at home and mop the floor more! If it's too hot in the afternoon, just stroll around the mall a few times, and wait until 8:30 in the evening, she could even grab discounted vegetables!

Song Tan wasn't afraid of heat, she just felt sorry for the fan—this old treasure had been in service for over twenty-five years, right? It was bought by her father, Song Sancheng, the year her aunt gave birth to her child.

It was said that when the child was a full month old, he came to see her, covered in prickly heat, crying wow-wow all day and night, and Song Sancheng gritted his teeth and bought it...

So many years have passed, actually it's very strenuous to turn, and the electricity it uses isn't much less than an air conditioner!

"Where's my uncle?"

Song Tan handed the things to her aunt, seeing her aunt quickly open the refrigerator to take out an old popsicle and then quickly close the door, and only then handed the old popsicle to her. At this moment, it was truly hard to refuse, so she had to change the subject.

Her aunt was happy: "It's hot, a new pharmacy opened and is giving away free herbal tea! Unlimited! Your uncle took a pot to fill it... Sigh, you didn't say earlier, they were even giving away three eggs for lining up this morning!"

Song Tan:...

"Then where's my cousin? Today is the weekend, he shouldn't be working, right?"

Her aunt didn't hide it either: "Your uncle and I saved another 300,000. You don't know, bank interest rates have dropped! I calculated for a long time and it wasn't cost-effective, so I simply pooled the 200,000 your cousin saved, and went to buy a small house—your cousin went to look at houses."

Song Tan opened her mouth—

Her cousin! Working in a public institution for three years, his first-year internship salary was only two thousand! He could save 200,000?

No wonder he was twenty-seven or twenty-eight and handsome, yet he hadn't dated anyone. This, this, this... it's not easy to find someone like-minded!

Song Tan thought about it and could only say that it was worthy of being her aunt's family! ===== CHAPTER 547 =====
