Chapter 21 Sharing the Apple

Chen Xueru wanted to come over the day before yesterday, but Hou Kui had no classes the day before yesterday, so she felt she had no suitable superficial reason to come over directly.

These stockings sell surprisingly well and have unexpected effects, but the price is too high.

Her son Fan Jinyou has been ordered by her to be a whale for a week.

He instantly transformed into a giant strong man, and the 50 yuan bills and industrial coupons disappeared into thin air.

However, Chen Xueru still cut off the two thighs and found a high-end tailor to add a lace edge to it, which gave it a unique flavor.

Wang Yuanchao said:

"It's all right, young man, you're still strong! Thank you for your trouble!"

Then he whispered:
"I have to look for my brother too, he has a lot of connections.

But he works on a farm east of here, and I don’t know if he’ll be back this week.”

Chen Xueru also knew that it must have been brought here by that big troublemaker Wang Heping. Wang Yuanchao had just graduated from junior high school and was probably just following his brother to make a living.

Chen Xueru smiled and said:
"Haha, okay, okay, since you've recovered, I'm relieved! Then I'll go to the Children's Palace to pick up my Hou Kui after class!"

Whispering:

"Let's talk on the way?"

Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"That's fine. I'm going to pick up our Wang Li as well. Please wait for me. I'll get some apples to share with the children in the compound."

Chen Xueru went out and waited outside.

Wang Yuanchao took out an apple and washed it under the faucet. Sure enough, many furry little heads popped out. The smallest one, with its head and body, came out together.

I knew you were all eavesdropping at home!

Wang Yuanchao cut the apple into eight pieces, each piece was about the size of a finger.

"Jie Di, give me one petal!"

Then he whispered:

"Give this petal to Auntie Three!"

Yan Jiedi was so surprised that her mouth was filled with sweetness:
"Thank you, Brother Yuan Chao!"

We live next door to each other. He just came to remind me that there might be a fire. Although he is stingy, he is not a bad person.

Then Wang Yuanchao gave another petal to an old lady in the Central Courtyard.

Although the old man has a high salary, he usually doesn't buy fruit. Who would buy this thing? Two or three pieces per pound cost 4 cents! It's not enough to fill you up, and it's expensive, except for gifts.

The aunt thought: Didn't they say it was for the children? But she couldn't ask, or it would make her ears look long.

I couldn't refuse, so I had to thank you.

Jia Zhang's eyes lit up. Oh, it looks like she can also taste it?

Wang Yuanchao said to Huaihua:
"Come, call me uncle and I'll give you an apple!"

Huaihua didn't know anything. She was drooling over the sweet smell of the apple and immediately said in a milky voice:

"Uncle~"

Wang Yuanchao handed a petal of the locust flower and looked at Xiaodang.

Xiaodang looked at her brother Bang Geng and couldn't resist the temptation, so she called out "Uncle Yuanchao" crisply.

Wang Yuanchao also happily handed over a petal.

The two little girls were chewing on the delicious food.

Bang Geng was struggling with his conscience, but his grandmother Jia Zhang slapped him on the butt and said:
"Your uncle Yuan Chao gave it to you, why are you still being so hesitant?"

Bang Geng squeezed out a "Uncle", and those who didn't know would think it was a mouse's cry!

As long as you are greedy, there are plenty of ways to satisfy you!
Wang Yuanchao also handed over a petal. Banggeng's cunning and excited look gave him a bad feeling.

[Bang Geng: I just called out "rat", and I got an apple to eat. I made a killing! ]

Jia Zhang wiped her hands on her clothes, and Wang Yuanchao went straight to the backyard.

Jia Zhang looked confused: What's going on? Why is there no share for me? But even if she were asked to swallow her pride and ask for it, she couldn't do it.

She glanced at the middle-aged woman opposite her with guilt and anger, and could only continue to wipe her hands on her body, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.

At least her Jia family got three parts, so it was not a loss.

The deaf old lady in the backyard is enjoying the cool in the main room. The weather is either too cold or too hot, which is very unfriendly to the elderly. But the heat has finally passed, hasn't it?
"Old lady, this is my front yard's aid! Someone gave me an apple, and I cut a slice for you to whet your appetite!"

The deaf old lady was very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared at the critical moment. She thought both petals were for her, but it turned out to be just one. She was the oldest in the hospital, and she didn't mind it anyway because it was a gift from filial piety.

He took the apple handed to him by Wang Yuanchao with trembling hands and said:

"Yuan Chao, I heard you were burning chemistry at home?
That one won’t last long!
Can take our entire compound away!

I am an old woman, and you are all still young!"

Wang Yuanchao nodded repeatedly:
"Oh, I was embarrassed today in the compound. I saw other masters repairing buckets and basins, so I wanted to try it at home. Forget it, I'm not that cut out for it!

You take a good rest, I still have to go pick up my son Wang Li after class!"

Wang Yuanchao had no interest in chatting with the old lady. As long as he was willing, the old lady could chat with him all day!
When he left the old lady's house, he ran into Lou Xiao'e who was drying clothes at the door. It was already late in the afternoon. Lou Xiao'e looked at the apple slice in his hand and said with a smile:

"Why, are you going to give one petal to your sister-in-law as well?"

Wang Yuanchao knew that she had no worries about food and drink. In this courtyard, no one was willing to eat fruit, certainly not Lou Xiao'e.

"I'm just worried that you won't be able to take it."

As expected, Lou Xiaoe smiled until her eyes narrowed, and said:
"Take it home and eat it yourself, it will nourish you! My sister-in-law has plenty of it at home.

I appreciate your kindness!"

After saying that, he lowered his head and took the wet clothes to hang out to dry.

Isn't it said that moths are lazy? They are pretty diligent in washing and drying clothes.

Wang Yuanchao said:

"Next time I find something rare, I'll come to see you, sister-in-law!"

Lou Xiao'e shook her head and smiled: Hey, boy, what rare things can you come up with? Besides, what rare things has she not seen?
Wang Yuanchao walked to the middle courtyard and said to Jia Zhang:

"Aunt Zhang, the old lady said to leave one petal for that little girl Zhang to taste! I thought it was you who should take it!"

Jia Zhang also knew that the other party was teasing her by using the old lady's name. She also wanted to refuse the charity, but Bang Geng was so quick!
He reached out and grabbed the last apple slice, saying, "Thank you, Rat!"

He deftly broke the apple into two, then into four, gave one piece to Xiaodang, one piece to Huaihua, one piece to Jia Zhang, whose brows were furrowed, and the largest piece into his own mouth.

perfect!

What could Jia Zhang say? After all, she was forced to eat by her grandson, right?
At least I got to taste the sweet and sour juice, it was really delicious.

Wang Yuanchao went back to the front yard to wash his hands, locked the door, and said to Chen Xueru who was waiting:

"Excuse me, Boss Chen, let's go to the Children's Palace now!"

But I felt that this compound had no secrets at all and was not suitable for making money.

Unless he can develop his mother's skill of keeping silent.

Otherwise, every day, so many pairs of ears, like radar...

Chen Xueru was neither anxious nor angry, she smiled and said:

"Third brother of the Wang family, the atmosphere in your compound is really good. Neighbors are harmonious and help each other."

Of course, Wang Yuanchao could only smile, agree with the other party, and nod in agreement.

As the two of them walked towards the hanging flower gate, a surprised shout came from behind:

"Boss Chen?! Is this Boss Chen from Qianmen Street?"

Chen Xueru had to stop and turn around to look. She saw a young woman who was dressed simply and had short hair, delicate features and fair skin.

After thinking for a while, she couldn't remember who the other person was. She had to say in confusion and apology:
"This is really..."
