章節 48: Making Things Difficult

Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou went to a food shop near the market.

On the way, Su Ergou asked his sister excitedly, "Sister, how many more days do we sell the pastries for?"

"Three days at most," Su Xiaoxiao said.

As the new year approached, there were fewer and fewer customers in town. Their business did not seem to be affected, mainly because there were many return customers. Everyone was thinking of holding some new year's goods. Once the new year passed, almost no one came out to buy.

"Only three days?" Su Ergou was disappointed.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at him in amusement. "You like selling pancakes so much?"

"Yes." Su Ergou nodded.

Su Xiaoxiao said, "It's cold and freezing and you're being told what to do. Don't you feel tired and annoyed? In summer, it's hot and you might get heatstroke. Don't you think it's better to lie at home?"

Su Ergou shook his head. "But I'll be hungry if I lie at home."
