Chapter 258: The Unexpected
At noon, they stayed at Xiaocao's house to eat, and after lunch, Sister-in-law Qi chatted with Zhuang Meimei, and Shen Hui and Xiaocao went out. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
First I took her to see the house where they were temporarily staying, and then I went to see the house where the restaurant and pharmacy were going to be opened.
The house that is going to open a pharmacy is in front of Changlong Lane, and as soon as I came out of the house, I saw a group of children rushing by, and as soon as I ran over, I saw a child yelling, "Stop, stop!" β
He himself quickly turned around and shouted at Shen Hui, who had turned to leave, "Aunt Shen! β
Shen Hui was a little familiar when she heard the voice, and subconsciously looked back and saw that it was a gourd!
"Little gourd, why are you here?" Shen Hui asked with a smile.
At this time, other children also ran over, and Shen Hui saw that they were all familiar children.
"Hey, you're all here today, made an appointment?" Shen Hui asked with a smile.
Hulu shook his head and said loudly: "No, we will play in the alley, and then we will compete to see who runs the fastest and run out!" β
"Well, then hurry back, or your grandfather should be worried!" Shen Hui touched his head.
"Auntie, I have a birthday today, my grandfather wants to invite the whole alley to eat sugar gourds, you and this little sister are also here, and I will invite you to eat too!" The gourd pulled Shen Hui's arm and said anxiously.
When Shen Hui heard that it was his birthday, the child valued this the most, and she couldn't refuse, so she said: "It's okay to go, but Auntie can't eat for nothing, she has to prepare some gifts for you, Auntie can't give you a birthday empty-handed!" β
Hulu tilted his head and thought about it, as if yes!
He turned his head to look at Shen Hui again, but what if the aunt left halfway?
Forget it, he will be generous, "Auntie, you can bring the gift next time, come to my house today to eat sugar gourd!" β
Shen Hui is helpless, why are the children so fine now, she actually just wants to give gifts and doesn't want to eat any sugar gourds, after all, there are potatoes in front of her, and she is worried when she thinks of sugar gourds!
"Well, next time Auntie forgets you, don't cry!" Shen Hui pinched the gourd's little nose, only to find that the child was not looking at her at all, but the grass behind him.
Shen Hui rolled her eyes, feeling that she was rubbing Xiaocao's face!
When the group entered the alley, they smelled a sweet fragrance from a distance.
"Auntie, look, this is my house, everyone is waiting outside, my family is too small, I definitely can't stand so many people, but little sister, you and Aunt Shen can come in!" The little guy made no secret of his selfishness, and Shen Hui was speechless when he listened.
The other children only have sugar gourds left in their eyes, it doesn't matter if they go in or not, just bring the sugar gourds out!
Shen Hui followed the gourd into the house with Xiaocao, who was paralyzed throughout the whole process, the house was indeed very small, the one outside was about the same size as Xiaocao's house, and then it was divided into several rooms, and there was a sign hanging on each door, which said, 'Whoever has the room, idlers are not allowed to enter'.
The sweetness came from a room in the back, and when the three of them walked in, they saw a gray-bearded old man standing in front of a big stove, and a smooth wooden board was placed next to him, and dozens of identical strings of sugar gourds were neatly placed on the wooden board, and each hawthorn was wrapped in transparent sugar ice, which made the hawthorn more ruddy and lovely, which made people have an appetite.
The sugar water in the pot was still gurgling, exuding a sweet and greasy taste, and the old man didn't reply: "Hmph, didn't I tell you, come later, it's only been a few minutes now?" β
Hulu happily shouted grandpa, and said, "Grandpa, who do you guess I invited?" β
The old man snorted, and as he spoke, he took out the unburned firewood from the stove, and said, "Just you, please bring two delicious mouths!" β
Shen Hui looked at the gourd with a strange expression, it seemed that this kid was not the first time to do this.
Hulu looked at Xiaocao embarrassedly, and said loudly with a coaxing face: "It's not!" It's Aunt Shen and her little sister, Aunt Shen didn't know that I had a birthday today, and said that she would bring me a gift next time! β
There was only one Aunt Shen whom Hulu knew, and the old man turned his head and saw Shen Hui standing behind him with a smile, holding a delicate little girl in her hand.
"Oh, guest! You little bunny, don't say it sooner! "Hurt him to scold the wrong person!
"Come on, come on, sit here, this kitchen is smoky!" The old man said enthusiastically.
Shen Hui pursed her lips and followed the old man out of the kitchen.
This room is said to be a hall, just a table and four crooked little stools, Shen Hui and Xiaocao are not polite, and sit down directly.
The old man was not idle, commanding the gourd to pour water, and knocking on the door that said 'Tang Dabao'.
Before the gourd water was poured out, the door of the room opened, and a young man with messy hair like a chicken coop walked out, and said impatiently: "Grandpa, I have to work the night shift at night, what are you doing?" β
The old man ignored the young man's chicken nest, and took the young man's hand to Shen Hui, "Recognize it, this is Shen Hui, the great benefactor of our alley, if it weren't for her, our gourd wouldn't know where to be sold!" β
Shen Hui was startled, what is this for?
She stood up and waved her hand and said, "I can't help it, I can't help it, even if there is no me, they can't lose the gourd, how can I dare to come here to see you in the future?" β
The old man was unmoved, and the strength in his hand was not small, so he pressed Shen Hui back at once, "You sit, everything listens to me." β
The young man knows his grandfather's stubborn temper, if he doesn't follow along, he doesn't know when he will toss, so he simply wipes his hair neatly, reveals his eyes, and carefully looks at the 'benefactor' in front of him.
Shen Hui also looked at the young man at this time, it was also a feeling, the more she looked at it, the more familiar it became, her eyes slid over the sugar gourd in the hands of the gourd and Xiaocao, and suddenly remembered where she had seen this young man!
Isn't he the same boy who sold sugar gourds at the side gate of the camp at the beginning!
It's just that it was replaced by a middle-aged man, and then it was about potatoes, and the man didn't know if he got the news, and he hadn't seen anyone since.
The camp has also stepped up supervision, and small traders are no longer allowed to gather at the side entrance, and she almost forgot about this person.
At this time, the boy obviously recognized who she was, and he was embarrassed to scratch his head.
The old man also saw something, and asked tentatively, "You know?" β
Shen Hui nodded, "Yes, he used to sell sugar gourds near our camp before, and we have seen them." β
The old man smiled and said, "It turns out that they are all acquaintances, okay, this is our fate, girl, eat at home at night?" β
Shen Hui hurriedly shook her head, what are you kidding, she is still in a hurry!
"I'm sorry, I'm going back to the camp tonight, and next time I come to the city, I'll come to see you!" Shen Hui said with a smile.
