Chapter 183: The Down-and-Out Second Sister
According to the boss's observation, this old woman has always been a loner, and today is the first time she has seen two young people following her. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Yes, my grandson and granddaughter," replied the old man without thinking.
Lin Zifeng and Anna glanced at each other, looked at each other, and from the appearance of the observation, it seemed more appropriate to say that the two of them were the grandchildren of the second sister.
When Anna saw her second sister taking a mere ten yuan from the shopkeeper, her face was very satisfied, and she couldn't help but show a sad look. I think back then, in the Mermaid Palace, the second sister was a noble mermaid princess like herself, with endless glory and wealth, and she never knew what it meant to be trapped in life.
But now, after seeing her second sister in human society, Anna found that she was not what she imagined, living a happy and sweet life with the man she loved in this strange world. As the second sister herself said, she has to go to Dadonghai Bay every day to pick up the garbage discarded by tourists, and the hard work of the whole day is just a few yuan in exchange for a few yuan of living expenses. This kind of life is so different from what Anna expected.
"Today's harvest is not bad, I can go to the vegetable market to buy some meat vegetables for you," the second sister said happily.
The mysteries in Lin Zifeng's heart are one after another, in addition to the huge age difference between the two sisters, the second sister picks up garbage for a living, which really surprised him.
Although when she first met Anna, Anna didn't act like a child of a rich family. She had never drunk Coke or eaten a slightly extravagant meal such as barbecue, but as long as she wore the beautiful clothes she bought for her, Anna's aristocratic temperament immediately stood out. That kind of behavior and demeanor that has been imperceptibly formed since childhood will definitely not be cultivated by the family living at the bottom.
This older second sister, although she looks no different from an ordinary old lady on the surface, Lin Zifeng can find that she also has a temperament similar to Anna, just like a royal family living abroad, no matter how tattered her clothes are, no matter how dirty her face is, she still has a feeling of detachment from ordinary people.
Since Anna and the second sister are sisters, their backgrounds should be good, but why did the second sister choose to live such a life, and judging from the fact that she picks up garbage every day, the burden of life seems to fall on the second sister alone, so where is the second brother-in-law?
In Lin Zifeng's flying thoughts, the three of them unconsciously walked to a somewhat dilapidated vegetable market, the roof of the vegetable market seemed to be transformed from an abandoned factory, the cement pavement under the feet was potholes, and a lot of vegetable leaf animal plasma and other things were thrown on the ground at will, attracting groups of stinky flies flying everywhere on it.
Anna covered her mouth and nose a little uncomfortably, but the second sister smiled strangely, "Little Anna, don't look at this messy vegetable market, you can buy a lot of cheap things in it." ”
The second sister took Anna's hand, walked through the middle of the rows of stalls, and walked to a stall selling vegetables familiarly, "Is there any Chinese cabbage left today?" The second sister asked directly to the stall owner.
The stall owner, a woman of about forty years old, saw the second sister appear, did not say anything, and directly pulled out a basket from the bottom of the stall, in which was placed a large Chinese cabbage covered with a lot of rotten leaves.
"Grandma Sun, keep it for you every day, and the guest picks the last one left, and I put it directly in the basket," said the middle-aged woman, holding the cabbage in both hands.
Although Lin Zifeng rarely goes to the vegetable market, he only glanced at the cabbage in front of him and knew that it looked too bad. Not only was the layer of leaves on the surface almost all rotten, but even the inside could vaguely see a lot of black spots, which were several grades worse than the other vegetables she placed on the vegetable stall.
The second sister happily took the cabbage handed by the stall owner and put it into the cloth bag she had prepared a long time ago.
"It's still the same, I sell other cabbages for three yuan a catty, and this one only sells for one yuan a catty. Grandma Sun, I have already weighed it in advance, this cabbage is more than two catties in total, so I will charge you two yuan. The stall owner said heartily.
The second sister obviously trusted the stall owner very much, and did not ask for a new weighing, but directly handed over the ten yuan she had just obtained from selling scrap. After the stall owner found eight yuan, he said enthusiastically to the second sister, "Grandma Sun, go slowly." ”
Anna couldn't stand all this anymore, and she said a little sadly, "Sister, do you usually eat this every day?" ”
The second sister's expression didn't seem to think that there was anything wrong with eating rotten cabbage, she patted Anna's head and said, "Little Anna, you don't know the difficulty of running a family now, this cabbage peels off the rotten leaves on the surface, in fact, most of it can be eaten." Look at my sister and me, I bought it for only two dollars. ”
Anna wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to say it, her mouth was raised high, and she sulked on the side.
In front of the three of them, there was a row of vendors selling fish and meat, and the second sister tugged Anna's little hand and said like a child, "Little Anna, let's go see what delicious fish there are." ”
Most of the vendors here have a huge basin on the ground, and there are all kinds of marine fish swimming in the basin, but most of them are unknown to Lin Zifeng, and it should be the most common type of seafood that fishermen can catch.
The nearest vendor, when he saw a customer approaching, grinned and asked, "Do you want to buy fish?" ”
The second sister nodded, this time the vendor didn't give her the fish directly, it seems that the second sister rarely comes here to buy fish, maybe because of her relationship with Anna, the second sister made an exception today to buy a meat dish.
"How much is this Qingchuan fish a catty?" The second sister asked, pointing to the basin on the ground.
"Qingchuan fish is the cheapest fish we have here, only eight yuan a catty," the vendor gestured to his fingers.
"Eight dollars, a little expensive, right?" The second sister showed a puzzled look, "The last time I bought it, it was still five yuan a catty." ”
The vendor frowned, looking bitter and hateful, "Oh, I said this grandma, when is the price of five yuan still the price, last year it was six yuan a catty, and now the price has risen so much, the fish I sell here has risen the least." ”
The second sister showed a reminiscing look on her face, as if she was really thinking about the last time she bought fish, and after thinking for a while, the second sister seemed to agree with the vendor's words, and said with a smile, "Boss, give me a cheaper price, seven yuan a catty?" (To be continued.) )
