The hunchbacked old man staggered to the door of the small shop with a silver-veined tiger Pilan in one hand and a pepperwood elephant head crutch in the other, only to find that the light rain outside the door was heavier, he glanced at the umbrella erected at the door, and asked a little embarrassed: "Uh...... Can you please do me a favor, young man?"

You say. ”

"Can you help me deliver this pot of tiger pills to my home?"

"This ......"

Seeing that Su Xiaobei was a little hesitant, the hunchbacked old man continued: "It's not very far, it's in the Jingzen Grace Garden behind the pedestrian street." ”

Tranquility Grace Garden?

I'll go......

Kneel down for the big guy!

Su Xiaobei knew that the community was built next to the Moonlight Lake at the foot of Qinglong Mountain behind the pedestrian street, which could be called the back garden of Sencheng.

The community is surrounded by mountains on three sides, living near the lake, quiet and comfortable, the master who lives in seclusion in the mountains has seen feng shui, and has also invited the world-famous architect to draft the design drawings, the living environment or something needless to say, this is still the best school district house in Sen City.

It is said that the cheapest second-hand houses there have a unit price of more than 40,000 yuan, and those who can afford to buy a house there are either rich or expensive.

"Yes, it's okay at night anyway, I'll send it to you. ”

After Su Xiaobei hesitated for a short time, he still decided to help the hunchbacked old man, after all, the other party's legs and feet were not very neat, and it was raining lightly outside, with a cane in one hand and an umbrella in the other, he really couldn't spare his extra hands to carry plants.

Moreover, Su Xiaobei also wanted to see how high-end the community was, and it could be sold for more than 40,000 square meters in such a third-tier city.

"Thank you so much, don't worry, I won't let you run for nothing. The hunchbacked old man said, and walked out of the shop first with a crutch.

Su Xiaobei carried the plants, dropped the shutter door, and then opened the umbrella and chased after it.

In the dim light, the two walked side by side, and Su Xiaobei deliberately slowed down his pace to make the hunchbacked old man walk less hastily.

"Ahem, cough, cough......" After the hunchbacked old man coughed for a while, he broke the silence and asked, "Young man, since I said that I am an old friend of your grandfather, and I am ashamed of your grandfather, are you not curious about the story between me and your grandfather at all?"

Su Xiaobei wiped his nose: "How can I say it, I am curious, and I am not curious." ”

The hunchbacked old man was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be very surprised by Su Xiaobei's answer: "Oh?

Su Xiaobei pursed his lips and smiled: "Curious, I don't understand why grandpa has been poor all his life, why did he make such a rich friend as you......?"

Su Xiaobei didn't say it so directly, there is a grandfather in your story, but you may not be in your grandfather's story.

The hunchbacked old man's face froze, and then he sighed meaningfully: "Yes, if it weren't for me...... How could he see through the world, guard that small plant shop, and live a leisurely life with flowers and plants all day long?"

What's in that?

Su Xiaobei frowned slightly, and suddenly had a very impolite guess.

Could it be that when grandpa was young, he was really green?

Both of them fell silent at the same time.

The hunchbacked old man did not continue to tell, and Su Xiaobei did not ask again.

Some things are in the past, just let them pass.

Why bother with it?

The rain is getting heavier and heavier.

On the microwave lake, countless ripples were set off like a rain of bullets.

The two walked along the lake, walked into the Jingzen Grace Garden, and stepped on the path in front of the court paved with cobblestones, Su Xiaobei finally realized what it means to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and what is called a real paradise.

It's just that......

Su Xiaobei couldn't help but complain, there are too many mosquitoes in this community.

When he delivered the hunchbacked old man to the door, he was bitten several large bags on his arms and neck.

Are these people who have a faint soul and don't rest on rainy days?

"Ahem, ahem...... It's here. ”

The hunchbacked old man took Su Xiaobei to the door of the unit of a garden house, took out the access card he carried with him and opened the door of the unit.

Then, the two put away their umbrellas and stepped into the elevator one after the other.

7th Floor, Room 702.

The hunchbacked old man unlocked the champagne-colored door with his fingerprints, and while changing his shoes, he said to Su Xiaobei very politely: "Young man, thank you, let's go into the house and have a cup of tea?"

"No, it's not early, I won't bother, you can rest early. Su Xiaobei put the bag containing Tiger Piran at the door, as if he refused the other party's kindness, turned around and pressed the elevator that stopped on the seventh floor, and was about to walk in, but was stopped by the hunchbacked old man behind him.

"Wait a minute, young man, I'll come into the house and get you money, I can't let you run for nothing. The hunchbacked old man said as he opened the champagne-colored door.

At this time, a fat woman with a kind face, about forty or fifty years old, heard the movement of opening the door and hurriedly greeted her.

"Oh, Mr. Gu, I thought you were in the study all along. It's so late and it's raining outside, where have you been?"

"Sister Lan, don't make a fuss, I'm just idle and bored to go out for a walk, cough cough cough...... By the way, I bought a potted plant. The hunchbacked old man handed over the plant in his hand.

The fat woman took the plant and reproached, "Look at you, the cold is not cured yet, and you have a cold again, right?" I'll make you a cup of brown sugar and ginger water to warm up. ”

The hunchbacked old man hurriedly stopped: "Sister Lan, don't be busy yet, go to my study and get two hundred yuan in cash." ”

The fat woman with a kind face heard the sound, and then saw that there was a young man standing behind Mr. Gu, as a senior nanny, she closed her mouth very interestingly, turned around and went to the study to get money.

Half a minute later, the hunchbacked old man took two brand-new hundred-yuan bills from the nanny and handed them to Su Xiaobei.

"It doesn't take so much. Su Xiaobei wanted to return one of them to the other party, but was forcibly stuffed into his hand by the stubborn hunchback old man, "I'll take it if you give it to you." ”

"Eh, okay then......" Su Xiaobei was so enthusiastic that he had to put the two hundred yuan handed over by the hunchback old man into his trouser pocket, feeling a little uneasy, and he couldn't optimize the pot of silver-veined tiger piran in front of the other party, after all, this kind of thing like a golden finger must not be known to the second person, so he said to the hunchbacked old man, "Grandpa, if this pot of silver-veined tiger pillan can't improve your sleep, come to my store again tomorrow." ”

After that, Su Xiaobei turned around and returned to the elevator, and when the ladder door closed, he vaguely heard the conversation between the hunchbacked old man and the nanny:

"Mr. Gu, who was that young man just now?"

"Well, the grandson of an old friend, who is about the same age as Mengmeng, but people are much more sensible than Mengmeng, and he became the boss at a young age......"

……

After Su Xiaobei left Jingzen Grace Garden, he held an umbrella and returned directly to the pedestrian street.

Walked along the small square for some distance and turned into Qinghe Lane.

There are only four shops in this alley: Bingguo Big Cup Tea, Chubby Nail Shop, Baicao Garden, and the Bun Shop next door......

Su Xiaobei walked to the door of Baicao Garden and took out the remote control from his pocket.

At the same time as the roller shutter door slowly rose, the sound of the light bulb "whooshing" came from the second floor next door, he put away the umbrella in his hand and looked at the sound, only to see that behind the pink curtain, there was a faint figure shaking rhythmically......

Boom Boom –

Lightning.

It's raining harder.
