During the meal, the grandfather, who had been out for a long time, finally came back, brought a plastic water gun for his younger brother, and brought back a small plastic fan for the two sisters, which was the kind of small fan that was delivered all over the street when he was doing a pyramid scheme later.

Su Zitong looked very fond of it, obviously the weather was not hot, and he was still shaking around holding a fan.

Grandpa has 365 days a year, at least 200 days outside the wandering, the same is true in the previous life, when he spent a period of time at home after the days of coarse tea and light food, he would go out to meet friends, he once lived in a hotel in the county for a long time, and could not afford such a large amount of accommodation fees, so he asked the manager of the hotel to go to the old gan to ask, it is said that there was a dispute for this.

Su Qingtong always felt that his grandfather was unreasonable in this matter, he was a retired old man and had a retirement salary, why should he let the old cadre pay for his room and board outside, maybe there was some reason that could not be reconciled, grandpa should not be an unprincipled person.

In short, grandpa still runs outside often, he is an old man who is not willing to be lonely.

During the meal, Su Xiuqian packed the food in a large bowl and brought it to his father's room.

In Su Qingtong's memory, his grandfather had never eaten at the same table with them, even during the Chinese New Year, he also used a large bowl to serve food to his own room.

My father was afraid that my grandfather would not be able to eat enough, so he added half of the bowl of dishes and sent them over, and almost half of the dishes on the table were poured.

Wang Xuelian whispered along her daughter's gaze: "Your grandfather doesn't like to eat at the same table with us, he thinks you eat and grab vegetables, making the oil on the table too dirty." ”

Su Qingtong naturally knows what kind of virtue his three sisters and brothers are at the dinner table, don't tell them etiquette, that's a term that I've never heard of, what kind of etiquette do you need to eat, isn't it just that you're full?

When she and her younger siblings were growing up, they grabbed some good dishes like fighting, and their grandfather didn't eat well and ate slowly, so he liked to cook and eat by himself, otherwise he wouldn't be full.

When Su Qingtong was almost eating, he saw his grandfather walk in with the big bowl he was eating and said to his mother, "Snow Lotus, add some green pepper beans to me." ”

Wang Xuelian looked at the leftovers on the table, and suddenly said in embarrassment: "Dad, why don't I fry another dish for you?" ”

Uncle Su asked, "Do you still have green peppers and beans at home?" ”

Wang Xuelian glanced at Su Xiuqian with an embarrassed expression, there was originally a lot at home, but she remembered that her parents' parents didn't have anything to eat, so she secretly asked Su Qingtong to send some to her parents' family, so there was really nothing left after eating this meal.

"Dad, why don't I fry you some cabbage? It's also delicious with a little more oil. ”

Uncle Su waved his hand in disgust and said, "Forget it, if you don't have it, you won't eat it." ”

Su Xiuqian said beside him: "Dad, if you like to eat, let Qingtong go to Qingxi Town to buy some tomorrow." ”

Uncle Su asked curiously: "Why didn't I see a stall selling these out-of-season vegetables in Qingxi Town?" I was about to ask where you bought your food. ”

Su Xiuqian turned his head to Su Qingtong and said, "You tell your grandfather where you bought the vegetables, and let your grandfather buy them next time." ”

Su Qingtong filtered what he wanted to say in his heart, and then he said: "The vegetable seller is riding a 28 bicycle, and there is a basket tied to the back of the bicycle that catches pigs, and the basket is filled with a lot of vegetables, and he goes to Qingxi Town every day to sell vegetables, which is easy to find." ”

Uncle Su didn't believe it: "Young girl, is it really easy to find?" How much is a pound of vegetables you buy? ”

Su Qingtong said: "The uncle who sells vegetables said that the chili pepper is now sold for five yuan, the beans are one dollar, the winter melon is five cents, the pumpkin is eight cents, and the eggplant is two yuan, which is much more expensive than last year." ”

Uncle Su's face flashed with a hint of surprise, and even his voice was excited: "Great, grandpa will buy it tomorrow." ”

Su Qingtong looked at his grandfather suspiciously, listening to his grandfather's tone, as if he already knew that there were these vegetables that were not limited by the season in the world, and he should also know the price.

He pretended not to know and said, "Grandpa, let me buy it if you can't touch it, I can run into him every time, and others have said that it is difficult to meet the uncle who buys vegetables." ”

Uncle Su smiled and said, "Okay, in case I can't meet the vegetable seller, I'll let you help Grandpa find him." ”

The next day, Uncle Su naturally didn't meet the uncle who sold vegetables in Qingxi Town.

When I went home in the evening, Uncle Su found Su Qingtong and asked, "Sister Qing, where is the person who sells vegetables?" ”

Su Qingtong knew that his grandfather pounced, and felt quite guilty, such an old man was turned around by her, it really shouldn't be, so he whispered: "I didn't ask." ”

Uncle Su said: "I asked around on the street, and they all said that I didn't see such a vegetable seller, I only saw a little girl who sold out-of-season vegetables, and then she was taken away by the people of Qingxi Hotel, and she never sold out-of-season vegetables again." ”

Su Qingtong said frankly: "I've only seen an uncle selling these summer vegetables, and I've never seen a little girl selling vegetables, maybe it's a child in the uncle's family." ”

Uncle Su looked at his granddaughter who didn't change his face suspiciously, thinking that he was thinking too much, how could his granddaughter be the girl who sold vegetables? Where did the vegetables she sells come from? If it's really her selling vegetables, what is there to hide?

Uncle Su felt that the girls in the town's mouths were very similar to his eldest granddaughter, but he didn't believe it anyway.

"Qing Meizi, the next time you meet the vegetable seller, tell him that I have a friend who wants to buy his vegetables and hopes that he can supply them for a long time, as long as the price is not too outrageous, they can accept it."

Su Qingtong hurriedly agreed: "Okay, I'll tell him the next time I meet him." ”

Su Qingtong is also prevaricating grandpa's words, she doesn't want to have anything to do with her grandfather, she knows her grandfather's temperament too well, she is upright, if she sees her secret, she will report her affairs to the top 100%, and then, she will become 100% an experimental specimen in a scientific research laboratory.

Su Qingtong's worries are not unreasonable, Uncle Su has been secretly tracking the whereabouts of his eldest granddaughter in the past few days, after all, it is dozens of meters from school to home, and he can see the whereabouts of his eldest granddaughter clearly when he stands on the ridge, and after these few days of observation, he has not found that his granddaughter is dating suspicious people.

This made him a little anxious, he had already written to his old comrades-in-arms, saying that he would give him a way to buy out-of-season vegetables, but now there has been no progress, and he is a little helpless.

A few days later, Su Qingtong brought back a pound of chili peppers and a pound of beans and handed them to his mother, and then found Uncle Su and said, "I asked the uncle who sold vegetables, and he said that his goods are only sold to Qingxi Hotel, not to others." ”

Uncle Su looked at the vegetables she put on the table in disbelief and asked, "Why did he sell them to you if he didn't sell them to others?" ”

Su Qingtong said unashamedly: "Because the uncle who sells vegetables knows me, he will give it to me." ”

Uncle Su glared at his granddaughter, always feeling that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong, this was the most troublesome thing, as if you were going to do something, but when you arrived at that place, you just couldn't remember what you were going to do, so you were stupid and confused, so you had to go back the way you came.

Uncle Su waited for his son to come back, and said to Su Xiuqian solemnly: "Qing Meizi has a problem, and there is a big problem, you pay more attention to observation, I always feel that she has a secret." ”

Su Xiuqian felt that his father's speech was interesting, and deliberately interjected and quipped: "Back then, you and your mother asked me to marry Xuelian, and her secret is not a secret." ”

Uncle Su said: "I'm not talking about the secret of her background, I'm saying that she has a relationship with anti-seasonal vegetables, and she has problems in this regard." ”

Su Xiuqian couldn't help but smile: "Dad, you're thinking too much, she just has a few encounters with people who buy vegetables, we all know these things, what secrets can she have as a teenager." ”

Uncle Su looked at his son in surprise: "You all know? Have you seen the vegetable seller? ”

"I haven't encountered this before, as long as there is food to buy, who does we care who is selling? As long as you have to buy it, can't you? ”

Uncle Su said: "You guys have bought vegetables, but the problem is that I haven't bought vegetables." ”

Su Xiuqian said with a smile: "I said a long time ago that if you want to buy vegetables, let Su Qingtong buy them for you, you have to buy them yourself, this is not a big deal, what are you doing to find out?" She doesn't dare to be greedy for your money or give you a lack of pounds or two. ”

Uncle Su said helplessly: "I don't want to buy it myself, it's an old comrade-in-arms of mine who wants to buy it, his health is not good, since eating these vegetables, his body has recovered a lot, so he hopes to buy these vegetables often, and the young girl can only buy a few catties at a time, which can't solve his problem at all." ”

Su Xiuqian let out an "oh" and asked in disbelief: "Is there such a thing?" Why can't I feel it? ”

"You're so good, what can you feel? Only people who are sick can feel it. ”

Su Xiuqian thought for a while, and only after half a sound suddenly realized: "No wonder I feel that my stomach is much better since last year, it is not the credit of these dishes, since these dishes are nutritious, it is better for me to let Su Qingtong buy more back." ”

Uncle Su hurriedly said: "Don't publicize this matter everywhere, just know it, in case it is known, these dishes will be even more unavailable, whether it can be cured is just our guess, there is no scientific basis, we should not talk nonsense about things without basis." ”

Su Xiuqian hurriedly said yes, and when eating, Su Xiuqian said to his daughter: "Can you discuss with the uncle who bought vegetables and ask him to buy more for you next time?" ”

Su Qingtong asked strangely: "Isn't it enough for me to buy so much every time?" ”

Su Xiuqian said: "The main reason is that your grandfather has a friend who wants it, and your grandfather also likes to eat these vegetables, he is going to see a friend in a few days, and he wants to bring thirty catties of vegetables to send over." ”

Su Qingtong said "oh" and said: "The next time I meet my uncle, I will ask him if he can sell me more vegetables, what vegetables does my grandfather's friend want, I will explain it clearly when the time comes." ”

Su Xiuqian said: "Your grandfather came back in the evening, you go and ask him yourself." ”

In the evening, Su Qingtong asked Uncle Su about delivering vegetables, Uncle Su saw his granddaughter holding a homework book to register, there was a look, and he also thought it was interesting, he thought about it, and felt that his friends liked melons and fruits, mainly melons and fruits were easy to preserve, so he asked for loofahs, eggplants, beans, bitter gourds and so on.

Then he instructed, "If you can't afford so many vegetables for a child, let that uncle send them to our house." ”

Su Qingtong knew that his grandfather wanted to deal directly with the vegetable seller, so he just said "oh" and said, "I will." ”

"You just told that uncle that we have taken care of him these days, and our family is very grateful to him, and we want to invite him to come to the house for a coarse tea and light meal, and I hope he will not dislike it."

The corners of Su Qingtong's lips curled, he didn't expect that his grandfather really wanted to meet the vegetable seller.

She still said 'oh' and said, "I'll go to Qingxi Town on Sunday to find my uncle, you remember to give me money, otherwise I won't have money to buy it if I run into it." ”

Uncle Su hurriedly said: "I'll give it to you when you leave, and now I'm afraid you'll lose it." ”

After discussing the matter of buying groceries, the grandfather and grandson only waited for Sunday to come.
