Chapter Seventy-Five: The Other Side of the World

"It's... These apples cost two yuan a pound, and I grew them myself. ”

Seeing that he was brightly dressed, he saw that he was rich and spared Liu Xiao and Gu Xiayan, he was a little scared and didn't dare to look at Liu Xiao.

"What?"

Listening to the old man's twisted Mandarin, Liu Xiao didn't hear it clearly.

"These apples are two dollars a pound, and I... I grew it myself. ”

Seeing that the young man in front of him didn't seem to understand his words, the old man said a little anxiously.

Because he was scared and anxious to let Liu Xiao and them understand, his words were even more incomprehensible.

The old man's dark and wrinkled face instantly turned red, and the whole person was a little anxious.

Liu Xiao smiled helplessly.

The old man in front of him seemed to be a little afraid of himself.

"It's okay, you take your time. ”

Liu Xiao saw the old man's anxious look, and Liu Xiao said in a soft tone.

Feeling the peaceful temperament exuded by Liu Xiao, the old man's inferiority complex was relieved a little, and he repeated it according to what he had just said.

Although this Mandarin is still very awkward, Liu Xiao finally understands it.

It turned out to be two yuan a catty.

"I want them all. ”

Liu Xiao smiled at the old man.

The old man was stunned, and then his face was ecstatic, very excited.

He walked dozens of kilometers from the mountains, from white to night, and finally had the boss buy his apples, and he asked for them all.

Just as he wanted to use the worn-out rod scale to weigh apples for Liu Xiao, a middle-aged woman passing by suddenly said to Liu Xiao:

"Young man, although these apples are cheap, they are in such poor condition, they definitely don't taste sweet, so it's better not to buy them. ”

The old man who was weighing the apple, his face changed instantly, and he was a little ugly.

"I... This apple was grown by myself, and it's very... It's very sweet, I don't believe you can try a few. ”

He tried hard to explain, for fear that Liu Xiao would not buy his apple, but his voice was obviously lacking in confidence.

There's no way, this is a big city, how can the poor people in his ravines afford to mess with the people in the city?

"Hehe, who wants to try it, what if your apple is so dirty and you go to the hospital if you eat it?"

Seeing that this old man dressed in tattered clothes like a beggar dared to go back to herself, the middle-aged woman sneered.

"Young man, you see that you are quite rich, don't buy these things for the sake of sympathy for him. ”

finished, and the middle-aged woman persuaded Liu Xiao again.

"I..."

The old man was very angry, but he didn't dare to be there.

I could only look at Liu Xiao with hopeful eyes, hoping that he would be able to buy it.

Liu Xiao frowned when he saw this, directly picked up an apple and wiped it with his hand, and then took a bite directly.

The moment you eat it, it's very crisp and sweet, and there is a lot of juice, and it won't be unpleasant, even if the taste is not good, Liu Xiao will buy it.

"I think it's delicious, grandpa, how much do these cost?"

Liu Xiao said to the old man while eating an apple.

The middle-aged woman trembled with anger, and she kindly reminded this person that she didn't appreciate it.

"Sooner or later, I will go to the hospital. ”

The middle-aged woman left a sentence hatefully, and then left in a rage.

The main reason is that Liu Xiao and Gu Xiayan have a rich temperament at first glance, and she knows that she can't afford to mess with her.

Gu Xiayan couldn't help but smile when he saw this, and somewhat admired Liu Xiao's behavior of eating apples directly without washing them.

This move made Gu Xiayan like Liu Xiao more and more.

"Okay, okay, I'll weigh it now. ”

When the old man heard this, his originally aggrieved face instantly opened his eyebrows and smiled, he was very moved by Liu Xiao's action of directly picking up the apple and wiping it and eating it.

He thought that the people in the city looked down on a poor person like him, but the old man felt a sense of respect from Liu Xiao, and he had a much better impression of the young Rao in front of him.

"11 pounds, 22 yuan, count you 20. ”

Feeling that Liu Xiao did not look down on him, the old man spoke more neatly and clearly.

Liu Xiao nodded a fraction, it was only 22, but it was just a fraction of the red envelopes he usually sent.

Originally, Liu Xiao habitually wanted to take out his mobile phone and pay with his mobile phone, but found that the old man didn't seem to have these collection codes.

"Do you have any money?"

Liu Xiao was embarrassed to Gu Xia flue.

It seems that he will have to change more money and carry it with him in the future, as a fortune boy, he actually made such a fatal mistake.

Gu Xiayan couldn't help but snicker in his heart, I didn't expect you to have this time.

Fortunately, there were still a few hundred in the Gu Xia cigarette bag, so they all gave it to Liu Xiao.

Liu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gu Xiayan bringing money, and then handed all the hundreds of red banknotes to the old man: "No need to look for it." ”

The old man was shocked when he saw the money, and quickly shook his head, "No, I only have 20 yuan, and I can't accept it if I talk more." ”

Seeing the old man's stubborn appearance, Liu Xiao deliberately said with a straight face: "If you don't accept it, you will look down on me." ”

Sure enough, the old man was nothing after seeing Liu Xiao pretending to be angry.

After living for so long, he naturally knew in his heart that Liu Xiao did this to let him accept the money, so he was very grateful to Liu Xiao in his heart.

"Where is your home?"

After doing this, Liu Xiao looked at the old man with red eyes and asked.

"My home is at least a few dozen kilometers away, on a mountain. ”

The old man was stunned when he heard this, and then wiped his tears back.

Liu Xiao was a little shocked after hearing this, dozens of kilometers?

And it's still on a mountain.

It must be dangerous to walk so far on this night in the mountains.

"Why did you come all this way to sell apples? ”

Liu Xiao said sympathetically.

Coming from such a distance to sell fruit, at least from the evening to the white and then start selling.

It was indeed common to walk dozens of kilometers a few decades ago, but now there are still such people in this society...

"There's no way, the family has adopted a child to go to school, and the subsistence allowance is not enough at all, so I can only grow some fruit and sell it myself." ”

The old man's wrinkled face was full of helplessness when he heard this, he was used to it.

Liu Xiao and Gu Xiayan fell silent at the same time.

It was the first time they had met such a person.

"And are you going to walk back at night?"

After a moment of silence, Liu Xiao asked Lao Yang.

"Just find a place to sleep. ”

The old man seemed to have long been accustomed to it, and said with an indifferent face.

Seeing the old man's indifferent face, Liu Xiao was full of sympathy and decided to help him.

"You shouldn't have eaten it, I'll go buy you something to eat first. ”

Looking at the old man's dry lips, Liu Xiao felt that he should have not eaten for a while, and decided to buy something to eat first.

"I am very grateful for you giving me so much money, how can I trouble you, I can just go back and eat something, and it will not get in the way." ”

Holding the money in his hand, the old man shook his head and said movingly.

The corners of his eyes moistened again.

It was the first time he felt cared for.
