Chapter 234
Chen Hong didn't expect Kou Xi's idea to be so good, and the whole large pot of shandingzi syrup was sold out in the middle of noon.She rode home with Kou Xi, excitedly keeping her mouth shut all the way.

"It's amazing, people even buy this thing!" Mrs. Gao praised Kou Xi in admiration: "You child, what are you pretending to be in your head? How can you guess right!"

Kou Xi said modestly: "It's just a new thing. The weather is hot now, and some people are willing to drink some sweet and sour appetizers to relieve the heat. People who eat cold noodles are the same people who like to buy a tooth of watermelon!"

Aunt Gao herself didn't expect that someone would actually buy watermelons in pieces.Ordinary people buy a whole watermelon, and the melon seller cuts a triangle on the watermelon, and pricks it out with the tip of a knife to show the customers whether it is red, sweet and sandy.

Aunt Gao directly cut the watermelon into several pieces, selling them cheaply and refreshingly to quench her thirst.The hotter the weather, the better Mrs. Gao's business.In the past few days, I have been opening a few watermelons at noon, and the old lady is so excited that she doesn't want to go home in the afternoon.If it wasn't for Niu Niu going to bed in the afternoon, she would really not want to give up this opportunity to make money.

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-August, and the common people began to worry.Because in summer, except for a few drizzles, there has never been heavy rain.The crops in the fields would have died from drought, and the vegetable fields of each family would have dried up if they hadn't been watered frequently.

"These days are hot and stuffy, I'm afraid there will be a heavy rain!" Chen Hong wiped his sweaty neck with his hand: "My sugar water is already warm, how can you sell it!"

Every day, Chen Hong puts a pot of shandingzi sugar water in a bucket and keeps it chilled.From time to time, I have to fetch a bucket of cold water from the pressurized well at the back door of the supply and marketing cooperative for a change.The same goes for Aunt Gao, who now buys three or five watermelons in one go, and soaks them in the well water the night before.Take out two at noon the next day and put them in the market, cut one up and sell the other in a bucket of ice.

"It's getting hot, and Kou Xi's spicy skewers are not selling too well." Aunt Gao whispered to Chen Hong behind Kou Xi's back: "She used to prepare so many things in the morning, but now she's not even half as good."

Chen Hong whispered: "The sales of Liangpi are increasing, don't you see that now she can earn a lot of money just by relying on Liangpi?"

"That's true!" Aunt Gao was a little jealous: "The cost of Liangpi is lower than that of spicy skewers. She is basically stealing money. Now the couple who fried the big fruit are not working here. Anyone who wants to eat outside Buy it from her."

Chen Hong reminded Aunt Gao: "That's not good, anyway, I buy steamed buns from you. You also borrowed your strength!"

The sky in August is like a child's face, and it changes in just a few words.The dark clouds pressed down one by one, and there was not even a gust of wind.It was like opening the lid of a steamer, and a gust of hot air rushed out, making people uncomfortable.

"I'm afraid it's going to be a big thunderstorm!" Aunt Gao looked up at the sky, and then at the steamed buns in her basket: "How about we go home early?"

Chen Hong was reluctant to part with half of her pot of shandingzi syrup: "Let's go there when the wind blows. Don't we have to be bored until the evening?"

Kou Xi finished two bowls of Liangpi and came over to hear what the two men said.She was also quite worried: "After so many days of boredom, there must be heavy rain. The crops in the field are counting on this rain." She looked at Aunt Gao: "How about we go home early and drive the chickens to the chickens?" Sheli, prepare some dry vegetables and food. If this continues for two days, we don’t need to go out of the house, and we can sleep comfortably for two days.”

Aunt Gao laughed and said, "You are a child who knows how to enjoy life."

Kou Xi accepted this evaluation calmly: "I am really tired after working for so many days. Doing business by myself is different from selling to the public. My cost is in it, and I always want to earn more money."

"They go out for training in September every year, and they stay for two months. Are you staying here or going home?" Aunt Gao remembered that Kou Xi said that she would leave in late August. The training season of the year.

"I've been thinking about it for the past two days. I'll quit when it's sold out. Stay at home for two days and take care of my tanned face." Kou Xi touched his face and said with a smile: " I've turned into a black potato!"

"Are you still black?" Aunt Gao stared at Kou Xi with her mouth curled up, "You wear a mask every day, and you can't get rid of the hat on your head. Look at how black we are, you wipe your face every day Can oil still be black?"

Kou Xi smiled and said nothing, she always felt that something was wrong in her heart.Maybe it's because Shan Chao made a fuss once, Kou Xi has become extremely sensitive now.She looked around, felt something was missing but couldn't remember.

"Where's Niu Niu?" Kou Xi realized that he couldn't see the child by his side, and his heart skipped a beat: "Where did he go?"

After asking this question, Aunt Gao also remembered that her eldest grandson had disappeared.Chen Hong interjected: "I was playing with Xiao Zhao's daughter just now, maybe I went into the house!"

Aunt Gao couldn't help shouting loudly: "Niu Niu, Niu Niu?"

No one responded, so she yelled twice, but still no one responded.Now Mrs. Gao couldn't sit still anymore, she stood up and ran to the supply and marketing cooperative to probe her brain.Seeing Xiao Zhao's daughter Huang Shasha playing with a ball inside, she stepped forward and pulled her: "Shasha, where is my Niu Niu?"

Shasha raised her head to look at Aunt Gao, and smiled: "Niu Niu went out to pee."

Aunt Gao was a little anxious: "Where did you pee?"

The salesperson Xiao Zhao said with a smile: "Go to the backyard and see if you peed in the alley. There are so many people watching, you can't lose it!"

As soon as she said that she couldn't lose it, Aunt Gao remembered the loss of her child in the Dajia reservoir.Scared to the point of losing his soul, he slapped his thigh and said, "It's broken, did the person who patted Huazi take it away?"

Xiao Zhao didn't take it seriously: "No! My daughter plays here every day, when do you think she will lose it?"

Aunt Gao was in a hurry: "I'm the grandson, and I'm a man with handles. You're a girl, and your movies are worthless!"

Xiao Zhao felt angry when she heard this, she couldn't hear such words the most.The mother-in-law in her family spoke exactly the same tone as Aunt Gao at this time.It's worthless to say that my daughter is a girl, why is she worthless, this is her sweetheart.

Aunt Gao was too lazy to argue with Xiao Zhao, so she looked around the house in a panic.There was no one in the public toilet at the back, and the old man who asked the gatekeeper said he didn't run into the backyard.The children who were playing with Niu Niu also said they didn't see it, and in the blink of an eye, the child disappeared.

When Kou Xi and Chen Hong heard that Niu Niu had disappeared, they also panicked.
