At noon the next day, Ahu arrived carrying a basket of southern sweet oranges.
"A friend of mine drove south and came back with a basket of southern tangerines. These tangerines have a sweet taste and we have to wait until the end of each year for a good harvest. Fortunately, the weather is cold and it is easy to preserve. My sister-in-law loves to eat sour food when she is pregnant, so I hurried
Bring half a box over here."
Xue Ling's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said happily: "Great! I really want to eat oranges! I asked Brother Yuan to go out to buy them in the morning, but he went to several places and couldn't find them. I was disappointed for a while!"
Ahu said cheerfully: "It's rare that my sister-in-law likes it! Eat one quickly and see!"
Cheng Tianyuan didn't recognize southern citrus and couldn't help but ask: "Is there a good harvest in this season? Is it sweet?"
"Won't you know if you try one?" Ahu quickly found a rough-skinned one and handed it to him, explaining: "This kind of citrus doesn't look very good-looking. The skin is a little thicker than that of an orange, but the pulp inside is piece by piece.
Yes, very sweet.”
Cheng Tianyuan broke one open, and the orange juice immediately flowed down, making Xue Ling swallow hard.
"Wait! I'll eat it first!" Xue Ling snatched it away, quickly tore off a piece and ate it.
Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but whisper: "Don't worry, the white beard outside has not been torn off yet!"
Ah Hu said: "What kind of fiber are those things? They are all edible! Don't be afraid!"
He couldn't name the specific names, but he knew they were all edible.
Xue Ling nodded and said: "It's very sweet and delicious! When I first tasted it, there was a slight sour taste, but it was quickly replaced by the sweetness of citrus. It's delicious!"
Cheng Tianyuan took a sip and said twice: "To me, it's still a bit sour!"
Ahu laughed heartily and said, "If you find it sour, just give it all to my sister-in-law!"
"Is it too cold?" Cheng Tianyuan asked: "Fruits in winter are cold. The doctor said, just eat apples and eat less cold things."
Ahu shook his head in confusion and said: "I don't understand this! I'm not a professional, I just know how to bring it to my sister-in-law."
Xue Ling waved his hand and didn't care at all.
"Fruits harvested in winter are naturally suitable for eating in winter. This citrus is very sweet, I like it!"
"No." Cheng Tianyuan gave her a doting look and explained: "These are tangerines from tropical areas. The winter there is not cold at all, so it will definitely be okay to eat them. It's cold here and we eat cold things.
Can it not be cold?"
Xue Ling muttered: "But I want to eat it!"
Every day, I feel that my whole mouth is dry, tasteless, and very uncomfortable. Sometimes it even makes me want to vomit. I want to eat sour and spicy food every day. I want to eat more spicy food. The more exciting, the better.
Cheng Tianyuan thought for a while and handed the remaining half to her.
"Eat one, and you can't eat any more today. Just eat it tomorrow."
Xue Ling was very disappointed. He curled his lips and looked at Ah Hu, "Isn't that pitiful?"
Ahu laughed loudly and said: "Ayuan cares about you and the child in your belly. Sister-in-law, only those who have no one to love them in this world are pitiful. You are loved by thousands of people!"
"Wow!" Xue Ling laughed and couldn't help but ask: "Where did you learn such a word? It's so fresh!"
Ahu explained: "I learned it while watching TV last night. I have been back for several days and I haven't gone to see Liu Xiaoyu yet. I bought some snacks for the kids and went over and watched a TV series together."
"Hey! Has a TV been installed at Liu Xiaoyu's house?" Xue Ling asked curiously.
In this era, televisions are still rare items, especially precious.
Moreover, TVs are generally black and white TVs, and color TVs have not yet appeared.
Ahu nodded and explained: "He bought this at the second-hand market. It's a bit old, but it can still be played. His children clamored to watch TV every day, and even ran several miles to find a TV to watch at night. Liu
Xiaoyu had no choice but to find one to broadcast, but the kids were so happy!"
Cheng Tianyuan smiled slightly and said: "The TV is indeed very good, and I plan to install one. However, Lingling always said that watching TV is not good for children's eyes, so I won't be allowed to buy it."
"Is it possible? It's not good for your eyes?" Ahu frowned and asked, "Is it true or false?"
Xue Ling nodded and said: "It's really not good. The younger the children, the harder it is to let them stare at the TV all day long. Watching it for half an hour occasionally and taking a break is still fine."
Ahu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and said with a smile: "That's okay! Sister-in-law of the Liu family is very strict with those little brats! She can only watch the children for as long as she said. The electricity bill is expensive and she is used to being thrifty, so she only agrees with the children.
Watch an episode of TV every night, then turn it off and go to bed.”
"That's okay." Xue Ling said: "Children don't know how to control them, so they have to rely on adults. As Xiao Ranran is so young, I still don't agree with him watching TV."
"You can buy it for adults to see!" Ah Hu said, "Uncle and aunt will definitely like it."
Xue Ling shook his head and said: "I propose to buy one and put it in a store in the development zone. Maybe it can attract some business for us. As for my home, I don't plan to install it for the time being."
Cheng Tianyuan's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he said: "What a good idea! If there is a TV, more people will come to watch it at night, and the business at night may be better."
"That's for sure!" Ahu said: "In the evening, workers who are not scheduled to work will come out to watch, sit down to eat and drink, buy some melon seeds, peanuts, some beer, and a pack of cigarettes - aren't these all businesses?"
"It makes sense!" Xue Ling agreed: "As long as there are people coming, they are potential customers. Try to buy a big one and drive it for two or three hours at night. Even though it consumes a lot of electricity, the money you make is enough to cover the electricity bill.
Yes, don’t be afraid.”
Cheng Tianyuan thought for a while and whispered: "Where should it be installed?"
"Of course it can only be installed in the store on the first floor." Xue Ling replied.
Ahu rolled his eyes and reminded: "But the store... is too crowded! It's too cold outside in winter, and the TV can't be left outside in the wind and rain! That thing is valuable!"
Cheng Tianyuan nodded in agreement.
Xue Ling smiled and said: "Isn't it okay to put it on the highest shelf? The higher it is, the more people can see it. This way, you don't have to worry about some people opening it and touching it. It's always right to put it high.
.”
"That's right!" Ah Hu cheered: "Sister-in-law, this is a great idea! Putting it on the top does not take up space, and it can be seen by more people! Then everyone will raise their heads and necks to watch, and form a circle. Who will
It won’t block anyone, so more people will definitely see it!”
Cheng Tianyuan also thought this idea was great, and said: "Then it's settled! After the Chinese New Year, I'll buy one in the development zone here and try it out to see the effect. If it's good, the 'Café' in the city can also do it.
Install one."
Xue Ling immersed herself in eating the tangerines and told Ahu about Cheng Tianfang's decision not to go home for the holidays.
"South Island?" Ahu asked with a frown, "Is it safe? Are there many people? Don't get lost! There are a lot of primeval forests over there in the South Island!"
Xue Ling answered hesitantly: "It should be no problem! It's just an activity organized by the school, and there should be a lot of students going."
Cheng Tianyuan explained: "The activities organized by the school must be well thought out, and the safety of the students must be taken into consideration. And they are just for visits, not to build dams, and they are all adults who know where to approach and where not to."
What danger could there be?"
"Oh..." Ahu asked: "When can I come back? I promised to pick her up."
