Chapter 401: I met Aunt Xiang by chance

One day when I was bored, I went to the harbor to watch the steamers. There are so many ships there. Large and small, varied, and the colors are not the same, and some are like a big mountain, lying quietly on the water, so that people can't close their mouths when they see it.

Some were loading and unloading goods in full swing, revealing a black hole in the hull, and a big fish with a cut open belly was freed.

Others hung colorful flags and shuttled back and forth suddenly, sounding a dull whistle or slowly entering the port or going out to sea in high spirits.

An ocean-going fishing boat entered the port, unloading a large number of large quantities of fish, attracting dozens of people to rush up to buy them.

I was curious, and I followed. My lord of the blue sky, what kind of fish is this? It's a sea of fish.

Baskets and buckets, strange shapes, a wide variety of abalone, squid, salmon, lobster, sea crab, tuna, there are really countless to see, many of them are even jumping around with their mouths open.

I ignored the strong smell of fish, and rushed into the pile of fish to recognize it with great interest. There are two kinds of people who come to buy fish.

One is the neat and neat fishmonger with a big purse on his waist, and they buy fish in baskets and barrels, and the quantity is very large, and the fishermen will carry the fish they need to the designated place one by one.

The other should be a housewife of a wealthy family, with elegant manners and proper dress, and although the quantity required is not much, she chooses rare and valuable ones to buy.

Among them was a grandmother of about 50 years old, carrying a bulky willow basket and struggling to walk through the fish pile, with great difficulty in selecting the fish she liked.

When I saw that she was kind and old, I went up to her and told her to carry the basket and show her the way down, and I would help her get the fish.

She didn't refuse, but pointed out what I wanted and how much I wanted, and I scurried up and down like an ape, took out the fish and threw it into her basket, and in a few moments it was all bought and filled.

After paying, I volunteered to help her carry the fish onto the car, a shiny black car with three sharp forks.

The old woman was very happy, asked me where I was from, and what was my name, and insisted on stuffing 100 yuan for me to eat.

I didn't want her money, I just told her that I was a migrant worker's child, named Yu Wenli, and that she was here to see the steamer.

My grandmother told me that her name was Aunt Xiang, and that she was a nanny who specialized in cooking, laundry, and childcare, and that she lived in Shangri-La, and asked me to go and play with her when I was free.

I didn't know where Shangri-La was, and I didn't have time to play, so I politely said goodbye to her and left, forgetting about her for a few days, until I met her again more than a month later.

It was actually quite ridiculous to say that time, just because a man on the street bullied a woman, the man was very arrogant, kept insulting the woman, and took out his wallet and said that he had money, and if he dumped her, he would dump her, and he was not afraid to sue him anywhere.

I was furious when I heard this, so I decided to take revenge on the man, and use my empty hands to pick up his wallet, and save him from being embarrassed here.

So I followed him for a while and got on a bus, intending to strike when there were many people.

It's a pity that there are too few people on the bus, and I can't get started after taking several stops. I didn't give up, got out of the car with him, and followed him all the way to a bustling vegetable market.

I thought my chance had come, and I immediately quickened my pace and rubbed towards him. At this moment, I vaguely heard someone in the crowd calling my name, and I was surprised to follow the sound, but it turned out to be Aunt Xiang, who I hadn't seen for a long time.

I was in a dilemma for a while, and I didn't know whether it was better to catch up and pick up my wallet, or to stay and wait for Aunt Xiang.

And just as I was in a little effort, Aunt Xiang had already come to me, and the man was gone.

I had no choice but to pretend to be surprised and happy to say hello to Aunt Xiang. Aunt Xiang was very excited and excited, carrying a vegetable basket in one hand and touching my face with the other hand and said, I really didn't expect to meet me there, she thought she would never see me again in this life.

I was both moved and surprised when I heard this, I didn't expect that just by helping her carry the fish and carrying the basket, she would miss me so much, just like a dear family member who has been reunited for a long time.

It wasn't until later that I learned that Aunt Xiang had no children and had never been married, and since she saw me, she felt that she was very close to me, and she had regarded me as her child in her heart.

We stood and talked for a long time, and Aunt Xiang kept touching my face and talking to me. She told me that she now cooks for her young lady, who is a primary school teacher and lives not far from the market, so she has to go out every day to buy groceries.

Of course, it is not an ordinary dish, mainly some dishes such as beef, mutton, and seafood. And these dishes are not just available for purchase, they are specially provided by a long-established butcher shop, and they are fresh and pollution-free meat dishes that have undergone a series of strict tests, although the price is more than double the price.

When I heard this, I immediately looked down on her young lady. Isn't he just an elementary school teacher? is so delicate and smelly, and I need an old man to help cook, and I have to buy some pollution-free vegetables for Rausch, and the price is so expensive.

Unlike me, I've eaten everything in the garbage heap, and the number of times is not ordinary, isn't it the same as jumping around?

But I don't say these words, I just say them in my heart. Later, Aunt Xiang asked me why I went to that place, what I did somewhere, and why I didn't go to school.

I didn't dare to tell the truth, so I lied and said that I was taking a break from school to find my parents, so I rented a house not far from there, because my parents had to work during the day, so I went out to play everywhere when I had nothing to do.

When Aunt Xiang heard this, she took pity on me, and insisted that I go back to lunch with her, and said that she would make a lot of delicious food for me.

Because I was thinking about going back to the inn and didn't want to stay any longer, I lied that I had something to do and would talk about it next time.

Aunt Xiang had no choice, and she had to rush back to cook, so she was reluctant to part with me, and when she left, she repeatedly asked me to accompany her to go grocery shopping the next day.

I couldn't bear to disappoint her, so I had to agree against my will. When I returned to the inn, I was very conflicted, I thought about it for a long time, and I thought about it a lot.

Finally, considering that there is still a long time, and the preparations I should have done have been almost done, anyway, I am lonely and bored, and now it is rare to have a grandmother who is so good to me, why not spend a few comfortable and happy days with her?

Even if you buy groceries and talk, it's better than staying in an inn alone. After I made up my mind, I immediately settled the room bill, picked up my simple bags and went straight to the vegetable market, rented a cheap room and lived far away.

The next day, I went to the vegetable market early, and after waiting for a while, I saw Aunt Xiang looking all the way to find me.

I felt very comfortable in my heart, so I quickly ran to her with a shout. Aunt Xiang smiled, smiled very sweetly and comfortably, and said that she knew that I would not miss the appointment, and then took out a lot of pastries for me to eat, all of which were fragrant and crispy pastries that I had never heard of or seen.

The moment I took the pastry, I couldn't help but think to myself, how nice it would be if she was really my grandmother! I happily ate the pastries, talked happily with Aunt Xiang, helped her carry the basket, and picked vegetables with her, and was busy for more than an hour before I had to part again.

Even though Aunt Xiang invited me to her young lady's house again, I still didn't find it convenient, so I politely declined.

After all, it's not her own home, but someone else's, and it's not good to go rashly.
