Chapter 109: The Road Meets Uncle Deng
Geng Mo and the three walked out of the hotel, and Chu Ying, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, greeted him with a smile, and explained with a little apology: "I'm sorry Mr. Geng, the boss can't come to see you off for a while, he asked me to say sorry on his behalf." ”
"I'm not a child, why do I need someone to send it, you can also bring a message for me, and he is welcome to come to me at any time." Geng Mo waved his hand indifferently.
"Okay, I'll definitely bring it, then I wish Mr. Geng a smooth journey."
"Thank you!"
The two sides shook hands politely, which was a successful end to the first cooperation between the two families.
After a four-hour flight, Geng Mo and the three finally returned to their city.
The moment he walked out of the airport, Geng Mo stretched his waist and smiled: "Oops, I'm finally back, I've been exhausted for the past few days." ”
Duan Yi handed him the suitcase without a sound, turned around and went to pick up the car.
Lu Mengya looked at his back and couldn't help but complain: "Your driver really has a personality, if I hadn't heard him speak before, I would have thought he was a mute?" ”
"He's a great fight!" Geng Mo said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Lu Mengya nodded, he had seen this aspect.
After the two chatted for a while, Duan Yi drove the car over, Geng Mo looked at Lu Mengya and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
"It's nothing to do anyway, you can arrange it." After speaking, Lu Mengya got into the car with a little shyness.
On the way back, Geng Mo habitually looked at the scenery outside the window, and at this moment, an old figure came into his eyes.
"Parking! Stop the car! ”
He hurriedly motioned for Duan Yi to stop and couldn't wait to open the car door.
Lu Mengya also got out of the car, ran a few steps to catch up with Geng Mo and said, "What's wrong?" ”
"I met an acquaintance" Geng Mo crossed the road straight and walked towards a vegetable stall opposite.
The stall was set up by an old man in his sixties, with bandages still wrapped around the old man's head, and he saw a guest come to the door and hurriedly greeted: "Young man, buy some vegetables, just picked, fresh." ”
Geng Mo looked at the bandage on the old man's head, couldn't help sighing, squatted down and asked, "Uncle Deng, do you remember me?" ”
It turned out that the old man who set up the stall was none other than Uncle Deng, who Geng Mo didn't find in the vegetable market last time, and the injury on his forehead was probably beaten by the market administrator.
Uncle Deng estimated that his eyes were not very good because he was old, and he stared at Geng Mo for a while before he was surprised: "Aren't you the young man who often buys my food, why did you come here?" ”
"I happened to pass through here." Geng Mo explained casually, and then cared about the old man's injury: "Uncle Deng, are your injuries okay?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay. It's just that I'm older, and the recovery is slower, not serious. Uncle Deng waved his hand again and again to indicate that it was okay.
Seeing this, Geng Mo didn't ask any more questions, and after looking around, he said with concern: "Uncle, do you sell vegetables in this kind of place and do people buy them?" ”
In fact, there is no need to ask, this piece is the outer ring, and there are even few cars on the whole road, who would buy vegetables in this kind of place.
Sure enough, Uncle Deng couldn't help but sigh after listening to Geng Mo's inquiry, and shook his head again and again: "It's not easy to sell, no one buys it, sometimes no one wants it for free, I can't eat it alone, it's all wasted." ”
Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something, picked up the plastic bag next to him and filled it with vegetables, and said while loading: "Young man, you used to take care of your uncle's business, and now this dish was given to you by your uncle, don't need money." ”
Geng Mo didn't stop it, anyway, he also planned to buy all the dishes, so he asked while helping Uncle Deng load the dishes: "Uncle Deng, what are your plans, it's not a matter to keep doing this." ”
As soon as the words fell, Lu Mengya, who was not aware of the situation next to her, kindly suggested: "It's not easy to sell here to a good place, it's best to go to a special vegetable market." ”
Geng Mo was speechless, Lu Mengya really didn't open any pot, how did she know that Uncle Deng's forehead was beaten in the market.
Uncle Deng shook his head with a wry smile, and said helplessly: "What else can I do, anyway, your aunt is gone, and I don't need any money alone, it's good to grow some and eat by myself, but I can't live with those fellow villagers who lent me money." ”
Geng Mo remembered that the aunt who sold vegetables said that the reason why the old man was so old and still selling vegetables rain or shine was that he wanted to pay off the debts he owed before he died, although many villagers said that they didn't have to pay it back, but he still insisted.
This dedication alone can't help but make people feel admiration.
Thinking of this, Geng Mo couldn't help but have an impulse to help Uncle Deng rent a stall in the vegetable market.
But after thinking about it, he felt that this method was also a little inappropriate, after all, Uncle Deng was old, and he went to sell vegetables in the wind and rain every day, so it was hard to guarantee that there would be no accidents.
Isn't there a way to get the best of both worlds?
At this moment, he suddenly turned around, what he did, was engaged in catering.
Anyway, you have to buy vegetables, and whoever buys it is not to buy it.
The more Geng Mo thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible, so he told Uncle Deng his idea: "Uncle Deng, it's too hard for you to sell vegetables like this, otherwise I will help you contact a restaurant, and you will supply it to that restaurant, so you won't have to run around." ”
Uncle Deng's hand that was loading vegetables suddenly froze, and then asked in a trembling voice, "Really?" ”
"Really." Geng Mo nodded solemnly, although he did not participate in the management of the restaurant, it should be no problem to arrange this.
"Good man, I really don't know how to thank you, uncle, I ...... I'll kowtow to you. ”
As he spoke, Uncle Deng struggled to kneel.
Geng Mo hurriedly supported him and said with a smile: "Uncle, uncle, I can't help it, if you really want to thank me, give me all these dishes." ”
"Okay, okay, I'll pretend it for you, I'll pretend it for you."
After a while, the uncle put all the vegetables into a snakeskin bag, and pointed to a vegetable field not far away, and said, "If it's not enough, I'll pick it for you." ”
Geng Mo looked in the direction of the uncle's finger and found that there was a hut next to the vegetable garden, and it seemed that Uncle Deng lived here.
"Enough, enough, uncle, you go back quickly, and I'll come here to find you when I get in touch with you." After speaking, Geng Mo put a large bag of vegetables on his shoulders and walked towards the car parked on the side of the road in a hurry.
Lu Mengya looked at Uncle Deng who was packing up his things and was about to leave, and then at Geng Mo, who had already crossed the road, and hurriedly chased after him and asked, "Why did you load all the uncle's dishes." ”
"If I don't get all the vegetables away, the uncle will definitely have to continue selling vegetables under the scorching sun, who is to blame for heat stroke on this hot day?" Geng Mo explained with a smile.
Lu Mengya suddenly realized, and said with a little admiration: "I can't see that you are quite careful." ”
"That's a must!" Geng Mo has never known what modesty is, and he accepted Lu Mengya's praise in full.
After the two got into the car, Geng Mo wiped his sweat and said, "Don't go home first, go to the gluttonous house." ”
