Chapter 113 You little brat, you even tricked your own father!
When Lu Changshu saw the Range Rover owner arrive at their stall, he stood up enthusiastically and began recommending his fruit.
"Boss, these fruits are all grown by our own family, so they are absolutely safe and reliable."
"We've sprayed pesticides, but we've cleaned it up according to regulations."
As he spoke, Lu Changshu picked up an orange, peeled it, and ate a few segments himself.
Lu Ran gave Lu Changshu a thumbs up, indicating that he was truly honest and sincere.
However, Lu Changshu obviously couldn't understand the meaning behind Lu Ran's gesture.
Thinking the guest wanted to try it, I handed him a fresh orange instead of the one he had already eaten.
Actually, oranges don't need to be separated like that.
But Lu Changshu still didn't give the guests any food he had touched.
Lu Ran took the orange, peeled it, and tasted it. After a moment, he froze on the spot. Several seconds later, he began to gesture wildly with his hands and feet, and then kept stuffing oranges into his mouth.
Lu Ran didn't need Lu Changshu to lift a finger; he simply grabbed a bunch of plastic bags and pointed at the various fruits on the stall, meaning he wanted some of everything, the more the better.
Passersby were drawn to Lu Ran's bizarre reaction.
"Hey young man, are these oranges really that good?"
Lu Ran gave a big thumbs-up with both hands.
"Ha, I'd like to see if it's really that amazing."
"Hmm...it is indeed delicious, but it's not so delicious that you'd want to dance, is it?"
Lu Ran ate another one and then did another dance.
Seeing this, the older brother laughed and said, "Interesting. Even if you're one of their actors, I'll accept it. Boss, give me ten pounds."
"Boss, I'll take ten pounds too."
"Boss, how much is this one?"
Lu Changshu didn't expect to be so lucky today, with so many guests arriving all at once.
He immediately began introducing his family's fruits to the guests one by one.
"The oranges on the left are 2.5 yuan per jin, while the ones on the right are more expensive, at 7 yuan per jin."
"Boss, where are the pears?"
"Boss, where's the apple?"
In just over twenty minutes, Lu Changshu sold several hundred yuan worth of goods, making everyone around him extremely envious, especially Zhou Yanhua and Lu Wentao.
These two were itching to rush up and snatch the Lu family's stall, how come they got to encounter all the good things today?
And is the owner of this Range Rover an idiot? He can dance while eating an orange, just like a clown in a circus.
Another ten minutes or so passed.
Lu Changshu's fruit stall had sold more than half of its fruit.
But he deliberately left some for Lu Ran, and handed them to Lu Ran after packing them into three large bags.
"Young man, thank you so much today. Without you, we definitely wouldn't have sold so many. Here, consider these a gift from me."
Three bags can easily cost tens or even hundreds of dollars. Although the money isn't much, the sentiment is enough.
Lu Ran took out two hundred yuan and insisted on paying.
After much back and forth with Lu Changshu, Lu Changshu finally had no choice but to say helplessly, "Alright, since you insist on paying, then pay the market price."
"You don't need two; one is more than enough."
"Give it to the proprietress and ask her to give you change."
Lu Ran took the money and handed it to Wen Youli.
Only then did he realize that his mother had tears in her eyes and was staring straight at him.
"son."
Wen Youli stepped forward and hugged Lu Ran tightly.
I could see him a few times every six months when he was in high school, and a few times a year when he was in college, but since he started working, I can only see him once a year during the Spring Festival.
How could Wen Youli not miss him?
She had been silently watching her son make a fuss, just like when he was a child and she watched him being naughty, her heart and eyes filled with love.
When her son walked up to her, she finally couldn't hold back and hugged her beloved son whom she hadn't seen for a year.
Lu Ran took off his hat, mask, and sunglasses, and asked curiously, "Mom, when did you recognize me?"
Wen Youli patted her son's arm.
"From the moment you got off the bus, you were born from me. No matter how well you're wrapped up, I'll recognize you instantly."
Lu Ran laughed and said, "Haha, then why didn't you call me out on that earlier, Mom?"
Wen Youli said irritably, "You were jumping around like a madwoman over there. There were so many people around, I didn't recognize you at all. It was embarrassing."
Lu Ran looked speechless: "No, I did help my family sell a lot of fruit! How is that shameful?"
"Okay, okay, you win."
"You little rascal, you even tricked your own father."
Lu Changshu came up carrying a stick, which startled Lu Ran so much that he quickly hid behind his mother.
"Dad, you just didn't recognize me. Look at Mom, she knew it was me at first glance."
Lu Changshu was somewhat embarrassed.
She pursed her lips and said, "I, I just didn't notice. I actually felt like you were familiar for a while, but I wasn't sure."
"Stop talking nonsense, where's my daughter-in-law?"
"Uh, Dad, Cheng Ning went to her maternal grandfather's house for the Chinese New Year."
"Oh, okay then. But you have to bring him back next year. No, you two need to get married as soon as possible. You're almost 26."
"Okay, Dad."
After saying that, Lu Changshu coughed twice and asked, "Son, what's going on with your Range Rover? Didn't you say you were going to buy a G-Class?"
Lu Ran did not answer his father's question.
Instead, he asked in return, "Dad, did you bring your ID card today?"
"You told your mom I could bring it, so I did. What, do you need me to help you with some paperwork?"
"Dad, you're so smart. I really need your help with the paperwork."
"Dad, Mom, pack up the stall and come with me somewhere."
Upon hearing that their son needed help, the elderly couple did not hesitate and immediately began to pack up their stall.
With Lu Ran's help, the family quickly packed up and moved all the remaining fruit into the pickup truck's cargo box.
After packing his things, Lu Ran handed the Range Rover car keys to his father.
"Dad, is it okay for you to drive?"
Lu Changshu swallowed hard, and his hand holding the car keys began to tremble involuntarily.
That was the car he had dreamed of his whole life. He thought he had no hope of ever owning it, but he never expected to be able to drive it himself in his lifetime.
"Yes...of course you can."
Wen Youli patted her husband's hand.
"If you can, then you can. Just don't let your hands shake, or you won't be able to drive steadily later."
Lu Changshu nodded: "Yes, yes, wait a moment, let me have a smoke to calm myself down."
Lu Changshu walked over to the Range Rover, smoking and looking it over.
Every now and then, he would pinch his thigh to make sure he wasn't dreaming.
"Xiao Ran, is this car really yours?"
Lu Wentao, who was standing to the side, had long been itching to ask.
Lu Ran shook his head: "Hmm... it's almost over."
Lu Wentao was delighted: "Then I understand, it's rented, right?"
"Xiao Ran, I'm not trying to criticize you, but it's good that young people are filial. However, you can't just rent a Range Rover just so your dad can experience it."
"How much will that cost? And how much will I have to pay to repair it if it's damaged?"
Widow Zhou nodded in agreement: "That's right, Xiao Ran, you're still the same as before, mischievous and without any sense of propriety. If I were Old Lu, I'd have to give you a good talking to."
