Chapter 131: Taking Grandpa Shopping
The next day, the snow stopped early. Wu Zheng pushed the door and saw that there was only a thin layer on the ground. Coupled with the unmelted snow that fell a few days ago and piled up in the shade of the corner, it wasn't actually that thick.
The men got up early in the morning to sweep the road, and by the time the owners got up, the snow had almost cleared. At the very least, there is no snow on the ground of the courtyard and path on the main road. If it weren't for the fact that there was still snow left on the surrounding trees that had lost their leaves, it would have been thought that it had not fallen at all.
The hearth of the Hua family is very useful, and you can't feel the cold outside at all when you stay in the house, it's like heaven and hell.
After a while, several maids came to serve and dress. Wu Zheng is looking forward to this moment the most every day, if you want to say why? I don't know, he can't say it himself, he just likes it. There is a kind of curiosity and desire for the opposite sex, and I can't stop.
Since Luochen refused to serve, the playboy also told the housekeeper that he would not arrange it again. Luochen is a real young master's temper, and he dares to draw a sword and kill people if he is not careful. Speaking of which, there has not been a murder case in their Huafu. I don't want to have it now, and I don't want to have it in the future.
Mrs. Hua dresses up gracefully and luxuriously every day, but it doesn't feel like it's unkind. On the contrary, Madame Hua often shows her affection for Wu Zheng and the three.
No, early in the morning, Mrs. Hua stayed at the dinner table, waiting for the three of them to come over. The old housekeeper wanted to send someone to urge, but Mrs. Hua refused. Speaking of which, the old butler just opened his mouth to mention it. He really didn't dare to send someone to disturb the innocence of the playboy. What his young master is like, this old housekeeper can see it better than anyone else.
Fortunately, the old housekeeper had already figured out Mrs. Hua's words and deeds, and knew that Mrs. Hua would definitely refuse, so he dared to ask so. In fact, to put it bluntly, the old butler is walking on the tip of a knife. In the entire Hua family, he is the one who is most able to look at his face and act. Otherwise, there are so many people in the Hua family, and he is the only housekeeper.
The three of them dragged to the dinner table. In the past, every time I got up, the most difficult thing was Wu Zheng. Now it's changed, and the playboy has become the one who doesn't like to get out of bed the least.
The place to eat is in the main hall, fortunately, the distance is not far, just passing by a few side halls. Every day, the old man and Mrs. Hua also came together, and the playboy of the province went to visit. But even if they don't come, with the character of a playboy, they are too lazy to visit.
Speaking of which, the old man's residence is extremely ghostly, but this old man's house is not a simple one. Accustomed to the hustle and bustle of his youth, he couldn't be idle until he was old. He has a fixed hobby, and every day in his spare time, he always likes to bring people in the house to have fun. Why is it a subordinate in the house, and not his best friend? Speaking of which, it is another bitter tear. The old man is stubborn, and the temperament honed in the business field is not painful. I haven't felt it yet, but now that I'm old, I realize that I have no friends.
He can't write poetry, he can't play chess and cards, and his only hobby is to listen to music and watch plays. I want to dominate myself for many years, but when I get old, I live so boringly, I just hate that I didn't learn a few more entertainment methods back then.
When the three of them arrived, Mrs. Hua and Old Man had been waiting for a long time. The playboy is not ashamed, it seems that this kind of thing has happened a lot in the past.
The playboy saluted his grandfather and mother before he sat down. Although he is uninhibited and graceful, this kind of minimum etiquette cannot be left behind. Wu Zheng and Luochen also did the same, Wu Zheng is not bad, at least he has done it before. When you get to the dust, your movements become stiff. Luochen usually lives in the forest, and I haven't seen a few people before. It's already a miracle that they're talking, and the dude doesn't expect him to do anything else.
I thought it would be a greeting, and then the three of the playboys would take the opportunity to sneak away. However, this change happened suddenly, only to hear Mrs. Hua ask: "When are you going out today?" It's cold after the snow, remember to wear a few more clothes. It seems to be an ordinary few words of caring greeting, which is very much in line with a mother's tone.
However, this is in the old man's hands
I heard something else in my ears. Before the three of them could answer first, Old Man Hua put down his chopsticks and pretended to be very serious and asked, "The three of you are going out today." ”
The dude did not hide it, nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"What are you going to do?" asked the old man again.
"Just go around. "Naturally, it is impossible for the playboy to say that he is going to sell the land, so he must not be broken by the old man in front of him. Just imagine, if the foundation that you have worked hard for most of your life is going to be sold, how do you feel?
Although the playboy dared to do it, he did not dare to say it. According to his own words, that is, if he makes an excuse, it is not beautiful to say it.
Old Man Hua pondered for a while, and then asked, "Can I go out with you?"
As soon as this sentence came out, the food in the playboy's mouth almost squirted out in one breath. What kind of joke, go to the street with yourself, the playboy will subconsciously refuse. If you really bring the old man to go shopping, how can you sell your land?
As soon as the playboy was about to say no, Mrs. Hua also spoke: "Why don't you take your grandfather out for a walk." Mrs. Hua's face was so kind that people couldn't bear to refuse.
The playboy glanced at Wu Zheng and found that the product was picking up rice in his mouth, and he was not listening to the conversation just now. Then turn your head to look at the dust, forget it, and don't expect this product to have any lofty opinions.
What else can I do, Old Man Hua looked at himself expectantly, and Mrs. Hua looked at herself expectantly. The playboy squeezed out a brilliant flower on his face, and said with a smile: "Of course grandpa can't ask for it together." ”
"Hahaha. The old man laughed uncontrollably, his teeth stuck out far away, and his chin was about to and fly into the sky.
The playboy was skewed in his heart for a while, and said in his heart that this is not disrespectful to the old man? There is no way, his grandfather can only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. No matter how much pit is his own bloodline, isn't it? No, he should be pit himself, this is his bloodline, isn't it?
After eating, the old man deliberately changed into a magnificent dress, which was worn during the last Chinese New Year, and it was just taken out today to show off. Originally, this old man went out by carriage, but today, I don't know where the courage came from, and he actually said that he wanted to walk.
The playboy has no opinion, he doesn't dare to have an opinion! Speaking of which, he hasn't gone shopping with his grandfather for a long time. I still remember that when I was a child, I was often carried by my grandfather, ridden on my shoulder, and came out to play. It's been a long time since I've experienced that feeling. It's so long ago that it's almost forgotten.
The old man sent his subordinates again, but none of them were allowed to follow. Shopping with my grandson, it's fun to think about it. The old housekeeper is also relieved today, and the old man is watching, and he is not afraid of what his young master will do to sell the land. So in the soft gaze of Mrs. Hua, several people embarked on the trip.
It had snowed, and it was a little colder than ever, especially when I came out of the warm room, and the cold wind hit my face. This cold wind is also evil, and it drills into the neck stalk, freezing people to the point of cold.
Wu Zheng wore a thick cotton coat and wrapped himself tightly, for fear that he would expose a little flesh and be stabbed by the cold wind. Looking at the dust that was still dressed in black, Wu Zheng looked cold. I don't know what kind of obsession this dress is, and I don't say anything about taking it off and changing it all day long.
Wu Zheng tried to think about what it would be like to put himself on, and estimated that he would be frozen into a popsicle. Wu Zheng just thought about it, and he felt that he couldn't stand it. Forget it, it's better to succumb to reality and wear more. Entered the old age life in advance and wrapped himself up. As long as you wear thick enough, the cold wind will not penetrate.
The playboy and the old man walked in front, and the old man shouted along the way: "Grandson, look at this." Or, "Look at that, grandson." In short, it is inseparable from the word grandson.
Every time the playboy heard this word, his eyelids couldn't help but jump, how could he feel so awkward. Although he is a grandson, he is not a grandson!
The elder calls the child a nice and cute name, and his grandfather will only call his grandson. And I have to say yes.
Along the way, there were quite a few people coming and going, and there was also a stall performing acrobatics. In fact, these acrobatics are not unusual, and the performers are generally cultivators with very poor talents. These people know that they have no potential, so they come out to eat. This cultivator is rare in other places, but it is not uncommon in this Northern Liang City.
After seeing the excitement, the old man was in a good mood, and he rewarded a lot of silver. not only attracted the thanks of the artist, but also attracted a sigh from the surrounding onlookers. Old man Hua has never been disgusted by the envy of others, and the more others envy her, the happier she is.
At this point, Wu Zheng also understood who the playboy's character was learned from, and it turned out to be an ancestral inheritance. I just don't know how it is inherited, one line is passed on, and the male is not passed on to the female.
On the street, there are many people selling rock sugar gourds. These hawkers took advantage of the cold weather and hurriedly came out to sell them. Such a hot competition scene, Wu Zheng has seen it for the first time.
On the side of the road, a child was drooling from his mouth, staring at the round red rock sugar gourd in a daze, and his legs couldn't walk. And the child's mother is holding the child's hand and wants to drag it home. While pulling, he also said: "Dead child, don't go home yet." ”
The child was not happy, and his face was aggrieved, and he looked like he was about to cry. The child shook his mother's hand and howled, "Mother, I want to eat sugar gourds." ”
This scene is not uncommon in Beiliang City, and the playboy has seen it many times. It's human nature, children are disobedient and cheating, it's normal.
When Wu Zheng, he held his breath, rushed over, squatted next to the little boy, and said, "Eat, eat a big land, is two enough?"
The little boy burst into tears and laughed, and said, "Enough, thank you, brother, brother is so good." ”
Wu Zheng touched the child's head, and then said domineeringly to a vendor selling sugar gourds next to him: "Two strings of sugar gourds." ”
The peddler hurriedly took two strings and handed them over. Wu Zheng took it, handed it to the little boy, and then touched the little boy's head again.
The child is very sensible, and he took it and did not forget to hand it to his mother. The mother also thanked Wu Zheng for a while, which made Wu Zheng feel warm in his heart. Until the mother and son were sent away, Wu Zheng still had a smile on his face. It feels so good to watch the mother and son leave happily.
Wu Zheng turned around with a good mood for the day, and saw the vendor just now. Wu Zheng subconsciously wondered why this person didn't leave, and then the next moment he suddenly remembered that he hadn't given the money yet. No wonder people don't leave, how can there be a reason not to give money for nothing.
Wu Zheng pulled out his sleeve and found that he really didn't have a penny. Helpless, Wu Zheng had no choice but to look at the playboy with hope. The playboy was already surprised by Wu Zheng's behavior, but now that he looks at it, he still looks so reckless.
The dude dug into his pocket, as if he had no money himself. The playboy shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands again, signaling that he had nothing to do. Wu Zheng was about to cry now, and he said in his heart what kind of head he was up. It's good now, I can't pick up face if I don't have money.
The peddler stared at Wu Zheng impatiently, holding one hand in the air for a long time, and was about to ask for money. Wu Zheng was so anxious that his head was sweating, and he wanted to be close to the hawker with a shy face.
At this time, the old man directly threw out a piece of silver, he didn't see that Wu Zheng had no money, he just wanted to show off his wealth. It didn't seem to be enough to do this, so the old man threw down another sentence: "Don't look for it." ”
The peddler's eyes suddenly glowed golden, and he hurriedly thanked him. That's it, I don't forget to look at Wu Zheng with disdain, as if to say: "You poor ghost still want to come out and pretend to be selfless." ”
Wu Zheng's little temper also rose, and he snatched a large handful of sugar gourds when he went up. He gave that man so much silver, and he didn't know how to be grateful. If you don't get some back, you won't lose money.
