Chapter 60: True Man Zhang Zhang Yanping

~8 min read 1,425 words

With two more people helping, a carload of goods was soon moved down.

Eldest Aunt's husband felt quite embarrassed. His own son was still upstairs, so how could he ask a relative's girl to help—although this girl's strength was greater than his.

But he was always honest and didn't know what to say. At this moment, he hurriedly took out two boxes of fruit: "Come, Tan Tan, Song Qiao Song Qiao, eat some fruit."

Eldest Aunt also busied herself wanting to buy vegetables, wanting to keep the sister and brother for lunch.

However, Song Tan and Song Qiao Song Qiao both shook their heads.

Song Tan was because the food outside was truly hard to swallow.

Song Qiao Song Qiao was thinking: Can I buy another toy set at noon?

They refused too firmly. Eldest Aunt stood there stuttering, and finally took the fruit on the table:

"Then I'll wash some of these big cherries for you!"

Song Tan hurriedly pulled her: "Aunt, really no need! These big cherries are over a hundred yuan a jin, keep them to sell!"

This honest couple's way of being good to people was to desperately take out the best things. After the big cherries were refused, they opened another box of fruit: a box of golden kiwifruit.

"You eat, you eat..."

Eldest Aunt also hurriedly peeled one for Song Qiao Song Qiao: "Come, Song Qiao Song Qiao, taste this Zespri gold kiwi, it costs more than ten yuan each in the market! Tell Aunt what it tastes like!"

The implication was that they hadn't been willing to eat such expensive fruit either.

Song Tan couldn't help but laugh: "Aunt, you who sell fruit don't taste it, what if the taste is wrong when you buy it back?"

Eldest Aunt smiled honestly: "Isn't your Zhang Yanping brother at home? He has a picky mouth, he eats whatever is expensive in the market, and he can taste whether it's good or not."

Song Tan was curious: "Is Zhang Yanping brother at home?"

Zhang Yanping brother was Zhang Zhang Yanping, Eldest Aunt's only son, two years older than Song Tan. Why was he at home now, not during a holiday?

Speaking of her son, Eldest Aunt sighed.

"He has no ambition, said he would help at home with the fruit shop instead of going out to work."

"But I didn't see him doing any work at home, he ruined more than ten boxes of imported fruit for me. If I scold him, he says that when we are old, he will have to take care of this fruit shop, so he's starting to practice now—"

"But he eats during the day to practice, and plays games until late at night, making your Eldest Uncle and me worry to death!"

This really wasn't Eldest Aunt and Eldest Uncle spoiling their child, there was truly no other way!

Zhang Zhang Yanping had been at home for two years after graduation. Eldest Aunt had long ago driven him out to find a job, and even stopped his living expenses for this.

However, Zhang Zhang Yanping was a rolling stone, a copper pea, loud and clear!

After stopping his living expenses, he would go home when he was hungry, squatting at the kitchen door at mealtime.

If that didn't work, he would go through the fruit in the warehouse, and eat whatever was expensive.

Eating until Eldest Aunt and Eldest Uncle felt their hearts tremble.

Locking the doors and warehouses at home, this bear child even called a locksmith, and finally, because he had no money to pay, the locksmith called the couple over again.

If they wanted to let go and not give money, just let him go to the police station... but the couple still had a dream of being civil servants!

As the saying goes, the end of the universe is taking the civil service exam.

In the eyes of this honest couple, there was nothing more stable and popular than being a civil servant. Even if the salary was low, didn't they still have a fruit shop? It was enough.

In this way, they were afraid of leaving a criminal record if he went to the bureau, which worried them to death.

Song Qiao Song Qiao listened with blinking eyes, not understanding, just looking forward to Eldest Aunt: "Where is brother?"

Eldest Aunt pointed to the stairwell: "Sleeping upstairs! Don't know what time he played games until last night, Song Qiao Song Qiao, you go play with him!"

Although Zhang Zhang Yanping was a rolling stone, he was actually quite protective of his family since he was a child, and he had played with Song Qiao Song Qiao.

Children all admire older children, and he clearly had a place in Song Qiao Song Qiao's heart.

Song Qiao Song Qiao ran upstairs with the kiwi: "The fruit is so sweet, I'm going to eat it with brother!"

Clearly forgetting there was a sister.

Song Tan couldn't laugh or cry.

Until then, Eldest Aunt had time to ask: "Tan Tan, why did you come back?"

Song Tan still said the same thing: "Work is too tiring, I resigned to rest at home for a period of time, and I'm helping with farming during this period."

Eldest Aunt hurriedly persuaded her: "Then don't stay too long, farming is not a good job, you are a girl, it won't look good if you get tanned dark!"

Song Tan then carried her small basket over:

"Aunt, our family's vegetables are exceptionally delicious this year, and the Chinese milk vetch is snatched by many people, I specially left a few bundles for you, you can stir-fry and taste them at noon."

Just finished speaking, Eldest Uncle had already peeled another kiwi and handed it over: "Tan Tan, you eat."

Song Tan couldn't help but feel sorry for Eldest Aunt—

After saying these few words, twenty or thirty yuan were gone. Song Tan also knew how frugal Eldest Aunt's family was.

But since it was peeled, she took it and stuffed it into her mouth, and then hurriedly moved the box to the side.

The sweet juice burst in her mouth, mixed with the familiar turbid breath, and this taste was really not good.

However, Song Tan was already a bit used to it, and just mumbled: "Aunt, don't peel anymore, just taste it, keep it to sell."

Eldest Uncle smiled honestly: "You come rarely, eat more."

Eldest Aunt also threw away her worried face: "Tan Tan, don't be embarrassed, eat more, and take this box back when you leave—anyway, it will be ruined by your Zhang Yanping brother if it stays here."

Her own son, eating fruit could be described with the word "ruin," which showed how much Zhang Zhang Yanping was causing trouble.

Song Tan moved in her heart.

Before she had any ideas, she heard Eldest Aunt ask: "Tan Tan, your parents aren't working in the second half of the year since you are farming this year?"

Song Tan nodded, counting with her fingers:

"Need to plant two fields of rice, also need to plant vegetables, sunflowers, wood ear mushrooms and silver ear mushrooms are planted on the mountain, the chestnut trees have also been slightly trimmed this year, and the fish pond also needs to put some fish fry in..."

"There are five pigs raised on the back mountain this year, the pork will definitely be delicious during the New Year, Aunt, I will send you some!"

Eldest Aunt was dumbfounded: "So much work, can your family do it?"

Song Tan was also helpless—the money had been spent, she wanted to earn more as soon as possible, and didn't pay attention and didn't hold back.

"My grandparents are helping, now that the seeds haven't been officially sown, I can manage for the time being."

But this temporary was only temporary, and she would have to hire people to work in two days.

Just then, there was a movement in the stairwell, and Song Qiao Song Qiao's cheerful voice sounded:

"Zhang Yanping brother, let's go throw stones!"

"No. Little kid, I don't like playing with stones anymore."

Zhang Zhang Yanping's lazy voice was also mixed with a yawn.

"Zhang Yanping brother, let's go play hide and seek."

"Song Qiao Song Qiao, your Zhang Yanping brother has grown up now. Can't hide."

"Zhang Yanping brother, let's go watch Peppa."

"Watch what Peppa? A true man should watch Ultraman!" ===== CHAPTER 61 =====
