A Suo is a little girl with big eyes and braided hair. She has a pair of dexterous hands that she will use to string hawthorn fruit after school every afternoon.
There was a big bamboo basket in Athor's house, in which there were many red hawthorn fruits. String the fruit on a thin bamboo stick and dip it in syrup to make many sweet and sour candied haws.
But why do you make so many candied haws? Oh, so Aso's mother sells candied haws. Mom sells candied haws at street stalls every day. Those candied haws were strung by Aso the night before last.
But on this day, Aso couldn't concentrate when he was wearing candied haws. A string of five hawthorn fruit candied haws, but she sometimes string into four, sometimes string into six, in her mind, all is Lili's beautiful skirt.
Lili is Aso's deskmate. Tomorrow's Children's Day, the teacher will arrange Asuo and Lili to perform dance, rehearsed many times, and Asuo and Lili are already familiar with dance. But today, Lili wore a beautiful white dress to rehearse her dance. She said that her mother bought it for her performance
But Ahso didn't have a beautiful skirt. She only had a gray cotton skirt, which was very old. If she wore it to the performance, maybe the students would laugh at her. A Suo wants to ask her mother for a skirt, but she knows that her mother needs to sell many strings of candied haws to buy a beautiful skirt.
Do you want a skirt from your mother? Aso asked himself repeatedly.
Let's do it! Count the number of hawthorn fruits in the bamboo basket. If it is odd, ask your mother for a skirt. If it is even, wear your own grey skirt to perform the show.
1、 Two, three, four... Aso counted, and finally counted the number of fruits - just 199, odd! Then, when mother comes back, let her buy a skirt for herself. But, but... Mom makes candied haws every day, and her hands become rougher and rougher. Maybe Mom needs a pair of gloves more. Also, Mom's lunch at noon every day is a steamed bun. If she doesn't buy a skirt, maybe she can buy some steamed buns to satisfy her cravings
Ahso hesitated, and finally decided to wear his grey skirt to participate in the performance.
So she folded the grey skirt neatly, put it on the head of the bed, and lay down to sleep.
That night, Asso had a dream. She dreamed that she was dancing in a beautiful red skirt. The skirt was bright red, which was the color of hawthorn fruit.
When Ahso woke up the next morning, he really found a beautiful red skirt, which was exactly the same as the one he had worn in his dream, except that five hawthorn shaped buttons were added to the skirt. She couldn't help jumping up. As she pulled her red skirt to the mirror, Ahso saw that her mother's eyes were full of blood behind her.
Ahso put on a beautiful red skirt and went to school. When it was her turn to perform, she would dance in that beautiful red skirt. When rotating, the whole skirt looked like a blooming red peony. The students all applauded for Ahso, because Ahso in the red skirt danced so well!
After school, Ahso went home and continued to string hawthorn fruit
