Chapter Twenty-Five: Fighting Glutinous Rice Cakes

After two months, I came to Rao City again. The sky is still so blue, the wind is still so soft, and the sun is still bright and warm. Taking a deep breath at the bustling market, it was as if I could smell the fragrance in her hair again.

"You're not going with us!" Luo Qian poked her head out of the car window and asked with a sad look in her eyes.

"I really have something to do" I waved to them as I tried to take out my backpack from the back of the car. "Go play! Don't forget to pick me up when you come back. ”

"You stinky liar!" Luo Qian scolded angrily. He snorted at me and closed the window glass: "I knew you were like this, why did I have to drag you?" ”

Watching the car drive away, I called Hu Shanshan, listening to the beep sound from the mobile phone, I was a little flustered!

"Hello? I'm in Rao. ”

"Oh my God, you're here!"

"How do I get there? Send me a location. ”

"The place where I work is very remote, you go to the bus station first and take the bus to Geyuan." Hu Shanshan said.

"Ge Yuan?"

"Well, I'm at Geyuan Town Central School, call me when you arrive! I'm in class. ”

Hu Shanshan hung up the phone after speaking, and I saw that the time was ten o'clock in the morning, so I stopped bothering her.

According to Hu Shanshan's words, I went to the bus station and asked many passers-by to find the bus to Geyuan. The shuttle bus departs every half an hour, and I calculated the time, and I will be able to meet Hu Shanshan at about 12 o'clock at noon.

When the bus rumbled into the provincial highway, I suddenly felt a surging feeling in my heart that it was difficult to resist, and I always had the illusion of driving a tank to the front line. There's no denying that I'm the kind of person who can't stay at home, and the fashionable point is ambition! Although there are few places I have been to, I have not read many geographical magazines, and I have long been familiar with the unique natural beauty of Shangrao. It's just that those scenes used to be beautified and reflected on TV and magazines, and I don't know what it would be like to see the original? I even started to get a little inexplicably scared.

But then I thought about it and felt lost, because Hu Shanshan must not have time to accompany me on a trip, and our holidays were staggered.

The bus swayed, and the sunlight shone through the curtains and the trees on the side of the road, and the wisps were sprinkled on the face, making people sleepy. Because it takes six hours to come to Rao, I was called up by Luo Qian in the early morning, and I slept late yesterday, and I only slept for two hours with my head and tail removed.

The bus is not direct, and I am afraid that I will fall asleep and stand by mistake, so I will force myself to prevent myself from sleeping.

The most effective way to combat drowsiness is to find someone to talk to and focus. But sitting next to me was an old woman who was holding a small bamboo basket in her arms, and the bamboo basket was covered with a thick towel, and she didn't know what treasure was inside. Several times I couldn't help but be curious, and wanted to open it to take a look, but the old woman didn't seem to have finished menopause, and everyone seemed to owe her eight bags of rice, which was a little daunting and didn't dare to make a mistake.

It takes nearly two hours for the bus to arrive at Geyuan, which is not a long time, but it is quite embarrassing to wait. Later, I couldn't help but talk to the old lady. This is the weirdest conversation I had, the other party is not a customer or a beauty, and there is no clear purpose, just just to talk to her.

The old lady is very wary, and there may be too many cases of scams targeting the elderly now, and the children are very concerned about it. But after all, I was in sales, eating the bowl of rice of interpersonal communication, observing words and looking at the dark box to raise money, and it didn't take long for her to open up the conversation.

Later, I learned that the old lady was also going to Geyuan, and coincidentally, she was also going to the town center school.

"Old man, what do you have in this basket?" I asked curiously.

The old lady lifted the towel layer by layer, revealing the white and plump pastry inside.

"Glutinous Rice Cake!" She said.

I nodded with relief, and saw that the bamboo basket was neatly stacked with white flowers, and there was a small red dot in the middle of each piece of glutinous cake, which was very attractive.

"I heard that the dumplings here are delicious, so they look like this."

Hearing me say this, the old lady's forehead folded out a few terraces, and there was a little more hesitation in her eyes. In the end, she was ruthless and picked up a stack of stuffs for me: "Take it, my aunt invites you to eat." ”

I was stunned, and I hurriedly pushed back, only to realize that I had just said something that made people misunderstand, and I was a little annoyed and a little nostalgic.

"No, no, no, I can't bring it," I said.

The old lady glanced at the backpack I was holding in her arms and asked, "Don't you have a bag?" ”

"Auntie, this bag is full."

I said as I unzipped my backpack to prove it. The old lady craned her neck to look at me, and when she looked at me again, her face was a little more sly.

"Go to Ge Yuan to see his girlfriend?"

The old lady folded the rice dumplings back neatly, and asked happily: "Don't look at me old, I know everything!" ”

Later, the old lady told me that his eldest grandson, who was also my age, worked at the central school in Geyuan Town. She went this time in the name of sending glutinous rice cakes to see her eldest grandson by the way.

"My grandson, since he was a child, has been a very romantic person, he has been in love since high school, and he takes the little girl home every once in a while."

"That's amazing!" I greeted me and said, "Then your eldest grandson must be very good and pleasing to girls." ”

"That's it!" The old lady's face was proud, and her bony palms rubbed on the bamboo basket: "He is just willing to spend money, like these things you brought, he has never bought less." Blame me for spoiling him, reach out to you for money, and give as much as you want. ”

I have an inexplicable sadness when I hear this, when I was a child, my grandmother also doted on me very much, and gave me money every once in a while. It seems that Gao Tang's love is the same for everyone, the old man has been frugal all his life, but the eldest grandson has a mouth, and the money for the coffin board is willing to take out.

"It's a blessing to be your grandson!"

"Hehe, he doesn't think so!" The old lady laughed and said, "Later, I wish you could leave quickly, I think you are annoyed"

I smiled, chatted a few more words, asked a little about Ge Yuan, and soon arrived at the station.

I got out of the car and found Geyuan Middle School under the guidance of the old lady, it was already noon, the school was out, and the students were chasing each other on the campus, and the gorgeous five-star red flag was hunting overhead, a unique sense of books on campus.

The old lady probably came to see her grandson often, and the security guard let her in without asking, but stopped me. But I didn't have to go to the campus, I sent a WeChat message to Hu Shanshan, sat in front of the flower bed and waited. When a student is passing by, I will call him and ask if there is a teacher Hu here, and I will knock on the side to learn some information about her campus.

Soon Hu Shanshan came out, stood in front of the doorman and looked around, and sent a WeChat message to ask, "Where are you?" ”

Seeing this WeChat, I remembered the scene where Wu Shi saw her for the first time, that sunny noon, she stood restrained under the big garland, her hands in front of her abdomen, and her fingers hooked a white bag. That scene was so beautiful and pure.
