Rebirth Daily Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 641 Fruit Girl
"Remember to hold it steady next time you take a photo."

After saying this, Jiang Ning pushed his mountain bike away.

Xue Yuantong followed closely behind him. Compared to her timid behavior in front of them just now, Yan Chuchen suddenly discovered that the little girl's whole demeanor had changed. Why did her steps become so arrogant?
"Are you asking us to hold it steady when taking a photo? Who do you think you are?" The long-haired girl next to them was angry and wanted to say something, but she returned the favor.

Yan Chuchen suddenly said leisurely: "Shall we still take pictures?"

They spent 26 yuan to buy two cups of milk tea, intending to drink them after taking the photos. However, the sisters' hands shook and both cups fell to the ground.

Yan Chuchen, who was always confident and calm, couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he had just taken a photo with one cup, would he have been less unlucky?

The long-haired girl asked: "Sis, everyone says you are very capable, can you see if there is any way to save him?"

Yan Chuchen's eyes moved and he looked at the ground. The milk tea was spilled all over the ground, making a mess. The aroma of tea and milk wafted in the air, as if foreshadowing the tragedy that had just happened.

Yan Chuchen looked at the milk tea mixed with dust, her heart filled with regret and helplessness. Her dignified and generous face showed helplessness.

Yan Chuchen is a senior this year. Since her freshman year, she has been chosen as the host for every large-scale event at No. 4 Middle School. With heavy makeup and gorgeous attire, she is the focus of attention of all students in the school and is surrounded by countless applause.

But... Yan Chuchen glanced at her: "What can I do? I am helpless too!"

The long-haired girl looked embarrassed, "I believe in you. My style at the party was absolutely amazing. According to me, based on my excellence, I should ask you to be the sponsor of the Evergreen Liquid press conference."

Yan Chuchen stopped talking.

The atmosphere stagnated for a few seconds, and the long-haired girl asked tentatively: "Sister, are you silent?"

Yan Chuchen: "You've left me speechless."

"but…"

"But what?" The long-haired girl raised hope. Milk tea is really expensive, 13 yuan per cup!

Yan Chuchen cleared his throat, and his voice became more rhythmic: "I can cry for you in beautiful voice."

……

South Hong Road.

The sun is warm at noon, gently shining on the earth, adding a touch of warmth to the early winter.

Lin Zida and Zhuang Jianhui strolled along the road like idlers.

There was also a girl wearing a white baseball cap next to them. Although her face was mostly covered by the brim of the hat, the half of her face and chin that were exposed were extremely stunning, with extremely beautiful curves, and her skin was fair and delicate under the sunlight.

"Shuyan, you haven't been to school for a while recently. Are you still keeping up with the courses?" Zhuang Jianhui said with a smile.

Recently, Zhuang Jianhui knew that Ding Shuyan had been following Lin Han, broadening his horizons, learning her business skills, and even cooperating directly with Changqing Liquid.

Lin Zida: "Don't worry about that. The old witch hired a one-on-one teacher for her."

When Zhuang Jianhui heard this, he said happily, "If your aunt heard this, you would probably lose two pounds of fat."

He knew all too well how cruel Lin Han was.

Lin Zida, who was optimistic by nature, couldn't help but feel scared when he heard the woman's name.

Ding Shuyan spoke, her voice was like a clear spring in the mountains, touching the heart: "It should be no problem to maintain the top four ranking."

Just listening to her voice is a kind of enjoyment. Zhuang Jianhui said: "I think if you concentrate on studying, you may make further progress."

Their backgrounds are different from those of ordinary people. In Zhuang Jianhui's opinion, that is due to genetic superiority or inferiority.

Just like him, he not only has a good family background, outstanding looks, and high IQ, but his physical fitness is also far superior to his peers. He can easily achieve slam dunk in just a few days, which many boys have practiced for their entire lives but still cannot do.

Lin Zida denied it: "Jianhui, it's not that simple. Du Chuan is not that easy to surpass. That guy is a college entrance examination mercenary hired by Principal Yu at a high price."

This is indeed the case. When she was in the first year of high school, Ding Shuyan boasted of her outstanding talent and believed that she only needed to work a little harder to become the top student in No. 4 Middle School.

By that time, she thought she could even take the initiative to control her scores, become third in the school, and sit behind Jiang Ning in the next exam.

During that time, she asked her aunt Lin Han to find the best teaching assistant in Ancheng for one-on-one tutoring.

The English subject is taught by a famous teacher from the International Department of No. 168 Middle School, the mathematics subject is taught by a coach who has participated in mathematics competitions, and the physics subject is taught by an expert from a certain junior class in science and technology and the Strong Foundation Program.

Ding Shuyan thought she was ready for the exam and she was confident.

result…

It's so funny. Not to mention getting first place, she can't even beat [College Entrance Examination Mercenary] Du Chuan.

Sometimes, if you don’t work hard, you won’t realize how big the gap is between you and others.

Thinking of this past event, Ding Shuyan tilted her head slightly, revealing the graceful curve of her chin. Her eyes, hidden in the shadow of the hat brim, stared into the distance through the gap.

The crape myrtle trees on the roadside are no longer as lush as they were in summer, but the shapes of their branches are still beautiful in their own way.

From time to time a car passed by, bringing a breeze.

Thinking about the upcoming launch of Changqing Liquid, Ding Shuyan felt that she would soon be able to personally clear away the fog lingering in her heart.

……

The intersection of Nanhong Road and Heba forms a crossroads, where there are often stalls selling fruits, sometimes there are stalls selling blankets, and occasionally there are stalls selling fish in the morning.

Xue Chuchu was riding a black electric scooter. Her mother didn't come back at noon. She had eaten lunch in the school cafeteria today and just returned.

She was about to pass by this place, and originally she would have just passed by without stopping.

But for some reason, she remembered last night and wanted to buy carambolas to repay Jiang Ning and the others. Who would have thought that the taste of that fruit was so unique.

Even for someone as frugal as her, it was a little hard to swallow.

She was simply too ashamed to face Jiang Ning and the others.

Xue Chuchu saw the fruit stand on the roadside, and her eyes were filled with tears. Finally, she made a decision: "Buy some fruit again."

She released the accelerator, and the electric bike slowly slowed down and finally stopped in front of the stall.

The means of transportation for this fruit stall is a three-wheeled vehicle with a bucket, so there are several kinds of fruits.

After observing, Xue Chuchu pointed at the piles of oranges and asked, "Boss, these oranges are not sour, right?"

The owner of the fruit stall was a middle-aged man with a weathered look. He was wearing a gray and white work suit and had a friendly smile.

Hearing this, he picked up an orange and handed it to me confidently: "Try it yourself to see if it's sour or not."

After peeling it, Xue Chuchu pinched a petal, put it in her mouth and bit it twice.

Well, it’s definitely not sour.

The middle-aged man still had a smile on his face and was obviously very satisfied with the fruits he had bought.

Xue Chuchu didn't say anything. She handed it to the uncle and asked him to try it.

The uncle had rough and strong hands. He peeled a piece and started eating. After taking two bites, he felt a little embarrassed.

It's not sour, but it's not sweet either, and it has no taste at all.

He pointed to the oranges next to him, "Why don't you buy some? They're sure to be sweet."

Xue Chuchu wanted to leave. She felt that the quality of the fruits at this fruit stall was not good enough.

But the middle-aged man was very enthusiastic, simple and honest, just like the honest uncles in the village before.

Just then, Zhuang Jianhui and his friends who were strolling along Nanhong Road came here.

After seeing Xue Chuchu, Lin Zida looked around, but did not see Jiang Ning. Instead, Ding Shuyan was staring at the girl in front of the fruit stall, and her eyes under the brim of her hat brightened a little.

"Let's buy some fruit." Zhuang Jianhui said.

Lin Zida said happily: "I brought Shuyan with me today, so I have to buy it!"

His cousin has a special skill. When buying fruits, she can always pick out the most delicious fruits. This skill seems to be innate.

Ding Shuyan did not refuse after hearing this. She walked to the fruit stall wearing white sneakers.

The middle-aged man greeted enthusiastically: "It's cheap and delicious!"

Ding Shuyan glanced directly at the oranges. Her eyes, hidden under the brim of her hat, swept over the other fruits. At this moment, she knew the appearance, color and smell of the fruits.

Ding Shuyan's slender fingers deftly brushed across the surface of the fruit, finally stopping on a bunch of green grapes. She said:
“These are fine.”

After hearing this, Lin Zida picked a green grape, rubbed it without washing it, put it in his mouth, and smacked his lips:
“Sweet and sweet!”

The middle-aged man smiled happily: "Our fruits are definitely not a rip-off!"

Zhuang Jianhui said, "Boss, please take care of it."

Middle-aged man: “Okay!”

He swiftly weighed the oranges with both hands and said to the other girl, "We have other oranges here, take a look."

Xue Chuchu looked at another pile. These oranges looked different from ordinary oranges. They looked like ugly lanterns and were not as smooth as ordinary oranges.

Ding Shuyan touched the oranges with her fingers, and two seconds later, her clear voice rang out: "These oranges are fine."

She just gave a reminder but didn't buy anything else.

After paying the bill, Zhuang Jianhui looked at Xue Chuchu one more time, then followed Lin Zida and the others and gradually walked away.

Xue Chuchu peeled the ugly orange and saw that the flesh was plump. She tasted a piece.

As the girl in the baseball cap said just now, both the texture and taste are really good, much better than ordinary oranges, and you don’t have to spit out the seeds.

She thought of the girl in the baseball cap again, who seemed to have mastered an extremely powerful method of picking fruits.

Xue Chuchu stretched out her hand and tried to touch the apples piled up next to her.

She was stunned for a moment and noticed nothing.

In the end, Xue Chuchu bought a few ugly oranges, picked out a pineapple, and paid the bill.

Just as she was about to speak, Cui Ming heard from a distance: "Chu Chu, you bought fruit again!"

Xue Yuantong's little head popped out from behind Jiang Ning, looking so adorable.

Nanhong Road and Heba intersection are the only way to go home, but because they are not in sync, Tongtong and Chuchu hardly ever bump into each other.

Xue Chuchu had already paid, so she didn't have to worry about them rushing to pay.

Xue Chuchu looked at the middle-aged uncle, "Boss, can you help me peel the pineapple?"

In fact, you can peel it when you get home, but fruits like pineapple are more difficult to peel.

I remember when I was a kid, Aunt Gu bought a pineapple on the street. She didn’t know how to handle it, so Tongtong volunteered to help peel it. After peeling, only half of the pineapple was left. Aunt Gu told the villagers that Tongtong was stupid…

Wait…Xue Chuchu paused for a moment and came up with an idea:

"Is the reason for such a large loss because Tongtong stole it?"

The truth flashed in Xue Chuchu's mind, and she could no longer care about anything else.

"Okay!" The middle-aged man smiled friendly. He held the fruit stall with both hands, stood up with difficulty, and jumped to the side to get a knife.

Only then did Xue Chuchu realize that the uncle's left trouser leg below the knee was empty. He was... a disabled person.

Xue Chuchu suddenly felt a little regretful. She didn't need to be cut by this cheerful uncle.

The uncle skillfully picked up the peeler and peeled the pineapple very cleanly in one operation: "If you are afraid of stinging your mouth, soak it in salt water when you get home!"

Xue Chuchu took the wrapped fruit and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, boss. I shouldn't have bothered you just now."

The middle-aged man smiled cheerfully: "No trouble, no trouble!"

As he said this, he held up his trouser legs and sat back in his chair.

Xue Chuchu put the fruit on the electric bike and rode home with Jiang Ning and the others. Just after riding a few meters, the uncle's hearty laughter rang out behind them:

"Two more orders sold. Today's business is better than yesterday!"

There is love and sincerity for life in the voice.

After returning to the bungalow on the river dam, Xue Chuchu got some salt water, put the pineapple in to soak, and then carried the ugly orange to the door under the sun.

Jiang Ning and Tongtong were basking in the sun here. Today they didn't move the lounge chairs, but instead got a table.

Especially Xue Chuchu's discovery of details. As soon as she walked out of the house, she met Tongtong's eyes.

This fully demonstrates that Tongtong has been looking forward to this scene for a long time.

Xue Chuchu thought to herself: "If I hadn't bought the fruit, there would probably be two chairs and a table at the door again, right?"

Putting the ugly orange on the small table, Xue Yuantong said it was delicious.

If things had gone normally, Xue Chuchu could have washed away the shame of last night, but looking at Tongtong's smile and Jiang Ning's satisfied expression, she seemed a little absent-minded.

Tongtong waved her little hand in front of her and asked curiously, "Chuchu, what's wrong with you?"

Xue Chuchu suddenly looked at Tongtong, their eyes met, her clear eyes were full of seriousness:

"Tongtong, if I had said thank you to the uncle instead of apologizing to him, would it have been better?"

Xue Yuantong tilted his head, thought for a moment and said, "Yes, next time Jiang Ning and I buy some fruit, we'll say thank you for you."

Xue Chuchu thought of the fruit stall owner. Facing Tongtong's constant thank yous, she had a surprised expression on her face. She couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, making her cold face become sweet.

Xue Yuantong took advantage of her distraction and secretly scraped the cream on top of her milk tea with a straw.
