Zhou Xiaoyun’s Happy Life

Chapter 17 Delicious Popsicles (2)

Dabao quickly finished his own piece. He impatiently licked it one bite at a time and took a big bite with a loud bang. It was very enjoyable to chew in my mouth, one bite left, one bite right, one bite three, two bites down.

After eating, Dabao was smashed into the mouth. I was not satisfied and wanted to eat more. His eyes fell on Xiaobao's hand: "Xiaobao, give me a bite of the popsicle."

 Xiaobao looked at his friendly brother with vigilant eyes, and put the popsicle behind him: "Don't you have one? Why do you want to eat this one from me? Why don't you give it to me?"

“I’ve finished the one, can you give me a bite of this?”

Xiaobao shook his head and disagreed.

Dabao became bolder when he saw that Zhao Yuzhen could not see him and Xiaobao in the room. He reached out and snatched half of the popsicle from Xiaobao's hand, took a big bite and gave it back to Xiaobao.

Xiaobao cried "Wow", alarming Zhao Yuzhen and Zhou Xiaoyun in the room.

When Zhao Yuzhen came out, she knew that Dabao was bullying her younger brother again. She scolded Dabao and then came to comfort Xiaobao.

Xiaobao has a stubborn temper and refuses to eat the popsicle in his hand: "My brother took a bite of half of it, and I won't eat the rest."

Zhao Yuzhen was also helpless: "Xiaobao, just order some. The popsicle sellers are all gone. Can the popsicle sellers come tomorrow and my mother will buy some for you to eat?"

 Xiaobao still kept crying.

Zhao Yuzhen was so upset that she got a headache. Seeing Dabao still looking at the small piece of popsicle in Xiaobao's hand, she became even more angry. She slapped Dabao on the buttocks: "You still have a Are you like a brother? You don't know how to let your brother go, so why are you taking his food?"

This slap was neither painful nor itchy to Dabao, and the slap was almost the same as no slap. He also said plausibly: "I gave him food because he couldn't finish it. If he eats too much, he will have diarrhea. I'm in good health. Can I eat more?" question."

Zhao Yuzhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She ignored the shameless Dabao and went to coax Xiaobao.

Zhou Xiaoyun walked to Xiaobao and gave Xiaobao the popsicle that he had only eaten two bites: "Xiaobao, come and eat my sister's popsicle. There are many more of my sister's popsicle. Look, it's full of red beans. It's delicious. Take it quickly."

Xiaobao burst into tears and smiled, changed the popsicle in Zhou Xiaoyun's hand and ran into the house to eat it.

Zhou Xiaoyun handed the popsicle in Xiaobao's hand to Dabao: "Brother, here you go."

Dabao first stretched out his hand, then he felt embarrassed when he remembered that Zhou Xiaoyun hadn't taken two bites yet and retracted his hand: "You can eat it, I've already eaten one."

Zhou Xiaoyun found it strange that Dabao was actually embarrassed. She stuffed the popsicle into Dabao's mouth: "You eat it, I don't really want to eat it today."

At last everyone was happy, Dabao went out to play happily with his popsicle, and Xiaobao was happily eating in the house with a smile on his face.

 Zhao Yuzhen was very pleased. It was great that Da Ya knew how to love her younger brother while also being humble to him. It’s just that the little child is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed, and he hasn’t even eaten two bites yet. I'll have to make up for it next time.

 Since then, the children of the Zhou family have never quarreled over eating popsicles.

The next day, as soon as the shouting sounded, Zhao Yuzhen went out and bought one puffed ice cream and three red bean popsicles.

The puffed ice cream was naturally given to Zhou Xiaoyun, who was good at obedience, and the other three children each received a red bean popsicle.

Neither Xiaobao nor Erya had any objections to this arrangement, but Dabao, who should have had objections, was still a little guilty of his sister because of what happened the day before, so he obediently said nothing.

Zhou Xiaoyun knew that puffed ice cream was Dabao’s favorite food and offered to exchange it with Dabao. Dabao refused but changed it, because he liked his sister more and more.

Zhao Yuzhen felt really happy when she saw the four children looking friendly.

 It was a bit strange that Father Zhou came back and saw his children eating popsicles. Zhao Yuzhen was rarely so generous. I was very happy to hear Zhao Yuzhen talk about what happened in the past two days: "Damn it, our children are more sensible than before."

Zhao Yuzhen smiled and nodded: "Dabao has been naughty since he was a child, but there are not many boys who are honest. Xiaobao rarely gets sick recently, and he is not as picky about food as before. Dabao is three years younger than Dabao, but she looks like Dabao's sister. Dabao is much more sensible. I think our Erya will be similar to her sister in the future.”

 Father Zhou nodded in agreement, and the two of them talked about the start of school again.

“Damn it, school starts in two days. The combined tuition fees for Dabao and Daya are more than thirty. Do we have enough money at home?”

Zhao Yuzhen calculated in her mind: "I still have twenty-six yuan in cash at home. I will take the eggs and duck eggs at home to the market tomorrow and sell them for four or five yuan. I still have a few yuan left."

“How about I go to my eldest brother and ask him to borrow some from him first, and then return it to him in a few days.” Zhou’s father suggested.

Zhao Yuzhen disagreed: "We borrowed ten yuan from him last time and haven't repaid him yet, so why bother borrowing it again? How about I put a bag of wheat from home and sell it at the grain station tomorrow, and that's enough."

“Then sell a bag of wheat. Get up early tomorrow morning and I’ll go with you.”
