Chapter 233 The Shameful Liu Yanzhi
The old man is very old.
He took out three copper coins from his waist, and his hands couldn't control themselves and kept shaking.
In fact, if you want to take it away, you have to pay an extra penny.
So it should be four characters.
It was obvious that it was his first time and he didn't know he had to pay extra.
Jiang Fubao had no intention of telling him.
"Give it to me, grandpa. I'll buy it for you." She stretched out her hand.
The old man gently placed the coin in her palm.
The big hands were tanned black, the skin was rough like dead tree bark, and there were countless scars on it, which were integrated with the calluses and wrinkles, as if they could no longer be separated.
Under the big hand is Jiang Fubao's small fleshy hand.
It is white and tender, like the white of a freshly peeled egg, or like the lotus root nodes just dug out from a lotus pond in summer.
The two hands form a sharp contrast.
"Good boy, walk slowly and don't fall."
The old man instructed Jiang Fubao.
His eyes were full of love.
"Yeah, I understand." Jiang Fubao nodded heavily.
She stepped over the high threshold, and because her legs were too short, her little butt bumped into the ground.
Jiang Fubao covered his buttocks in pain and handed the copper coin in his hand to Jiang Dahe.
"Uncle, can you pack a cup of mung bean soup for the old man at the door? Give him a penny off. He looks so pitiful."
Jiang Fubao looked at Jiang Dahe eagerly.
"Okay, uncle will go right away."
Jiang Dahe touched her head gently.
After taking the copper coin, he raised his foot and prepared to go to the backyard. At this moment, Liu Yanzhi followed and stopped Jiang Dahe.
When he came out again, Jiang Dahe not only had a cup of mung bean soup, but also ten skewers of meat and two meat patties wrapped in leaves.
The old man didn't dare to answer it. He waved his hands repeatedly, too excited to speak.
"Take it. It's not much. Take it back and feed it to the child. It's my apology for my rude words just now. If you don't accept it, I will feel uneasy."
Liu Yanzhi took the food from Jiang Dahao and stuffed it into the old man's hand.
His posture was very low.
Mentioned children.
The old man finally answered it.
After watching the old man leave.
Liu Yanzhi pulled Jiang Fubao aside and said, "My dear child, you didn't blame your uncle, did you? Your uncle really knows he was wrong, and he will never bully others again."
The child in front of me is only three years old, but he speaks very eloquently and looks like a little fairy.
It makes people feel good about it.
Liu Yanzhi apologized sincerely. He didn't want the child in front of him to hate him.
"I don't blame you. Grandma said that those who know their mistakes and can correct them are good children. Uncle is an adult, so you are also a good adult."
Jiang Fubao tilted his head and said sweetly.
"Hahaha, this kid is so clever. If my wife could give me such a lovely daughter, I would be willing to take my life away from her."
Liu Yanzhi felt an impulse in his heart.
He really wanted to take the girl in front of him home to raise her.
The fiery look made Jiang Fubao feel uneasy.
She quickly slipped back to the backyard.
So much time has passed that Yu Xingwang and his family had already left through the back door.
As soon as he got back, Jiang Fubao was picked up by his grandmother.
"I heard that our Fubao just did a good deed?" Zhang Jinlan asked with a smile.
"No, I just feel sorry for the old man. If I were his granddaughter and saw what happened just now, I would be very sad. So, grandma, I won't allow anyone to bully you."
Jiang Fubao put his arms around grandma’s neck.
Rubbing her face.
"Grandma's good granddaughter, you are so filial. It seems that our Fubao is a good child. When you grow up, grandma will hand over the shop to our Fubao to run, okay?"
Zhang Jinlan's words seemed to be a joke, but in fact they were a wake-up call to everyone in the family.
Tell them not to take over this shop.
After all, this shop can only be opened thanks to my granddaughter.
They should be content that they have become what they are today and have no worries about food and drink.
Later, when she earns more, she will buy some land and become a local landlady.
The shop must definitely belong to my granddaughter.
Fortunately, no one from the Jiang family had any intention of taking over this shop.
It was like they didn't hear it.
Words are like the wind, they pass through your ears and are forgotten.
They continued to work on the task at hand without even raising their heads.
Sun Pingmei, a foodie, was kneading dough while thinking about what to eat in the evening.
What the mother-in-law said was not as important as the dough in front of her.
At this time, outside a dilapidated low house in Baihu Lane, Wanlu Street.
A brother and sister are working hard to wash clothes.
They both looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old.
But there are thick calluses on his hands.
"Erya, Shitou, grandpa is back. Look what good things I brought you."
As soon as Old Man Pan reached the end of the alley, he saw his grandchildren.
He shouted loudly.
"Grandpa, you're back. Have you sold all the dried mushrooms?"
Pan Erya raised her head, her eyes full of anticipation.
The brother and sister would go out of town every now and then to the mountains outside to pick wild vegetables and mushrooms.
The wild vegetables we dug are kept for our own consumption.
The mushrooms are dried and when they fill a basket they are sold.
Look, it’s full again today.
It was originally supposed to be sold by Pan Shitou.
But my family took a job today and there are several basins of clothes to be washed.
Pan Erya couldn't wash it all by herself, so she had to ask their grandfather to do it.
"I've sold them all. I made ten cents. Look, grandpa bought you some delicious food. Don't wash anymore. Take a break and eat first."
Old man Pan smiled kindly.
He put the food in his hand on the table in the house.
Go get another bowl.
Pour out half of the mung bean soup.
Give half to each brother and sister.
Pan Erya opened the leaves and found two cakes, ten skewers of meat, and a small piece of cloth wrapped inside.
She opened it and saw three copper coins.
"Grandpa, how come there is money here?"
Pan Erya held up the rag and showed it to Old Man Pan.
"Hey, this is the money I just gave to that little girl. Why are you returning it to me?"
He felt every copper coin carefully.
The dirt on it made him recognize it at a glance.
"Grandpa, what's going on? What little girl?"
Pan Shitou looked at him in confusion.
"Oh, Grandpa just passed by a shop and heard that if you buy a cup of mung bean soup for three cents, you will get two skewers of meat for free. I thought that skewers of meat are so expensive, how can you buy them with three cents? It happens to be so hot, so I thought of buying a cup of mung bean soup for you to cool down, and each of you can have a skewer of meat to replenish your body.
Unexpectedly, someone was looking for trouble, and the shopkeeper's granddaughter helped my grandfather out. My grandfather gave her three cents and asked her to buy me a cup of mung bean soup and bring it back. Unexpectedly, the money was returned to me. "
Old Man Pan was a little annoyed.
He should have opened it and looked.
How can you accept someone's kindness and then eat their food for free?
"But, there are ten skewers of meat and some meat patties here. Did grandpa buy them too?" Pan Erya asked again.
"No, no, no, this is an apology gift from the guy who picked a fight. Grandpa didn't want to accept it, but he insisted. Never mind, he also knows he was wrong. The weather is hot and everyone is in a bad mood. It's okay. We are a poor family and it's normal to be a little angry. Besides, he gave us so much, so we didn't lose out. Haha, eat quickly, grandpa has eaten."
