Chapter 45: The Uncle Who Sells Sugar Gourds
/
Before getting out of the car, Jingluo asked Xiao Liu for 10 yuan in cash.
Looking at familiar places, it's hard not to bring back memories ...
Ten years ago~
"Uncle, I want this sugar gourd, how much is it~" Xiao Jingluo pointed to one of the sugar gourds inserted in the straw bundle and said.
The uncle who sold sugar gourds was very kind, rubbed Xiao Jingluo's head, and helped her take it down.
"3 bucks. Do you have one? The beard on his face was tilted to the sides, and his white teeth were exposed.
Xiao Jingluo took out a 10 yuan sheet from his clothes pocket and handed it to his uncle.
"Shhhh
Then he took the sugar gourd from his uncle's hand.
When he turned around to leave, he was stopped by his uncle:
"Don't go, little girl, I haven't looked for your money yet."
But Jingluo smiled and said:
"You don't need to look for your uncle, it's cold, you should go home early."
After saying that, he went home with his small school bag.
On that winter day, the gentleness under the snow, Jingluo's smile matched the pure snowflakes.
Cute and somewhat unreal.
Jingluo came back to his senses and looked at his uncle who was still selling sugar gourds there.
He's old.
The action of holding things looks a little clumsy.
But it's okay, he's still him.
But it's a pity that I'm no longer the same person I used to be.
lost his innocence, and became more calculating and indifferent.
Whether it is good or bad cannot be judged in one sentence.
Jingluo walked up to the uncle's stall and said:
"Uncle, I want this sugar gourd, how much does it cost~"
The uncle didn't recognize Jingluo, after all, it was just a cute little girl at that time.
After so many years, it's normal to forget about it.
Who would have thought that after so many years, the girl still said what she said when she bought sugar gourds.
Maybe it's to evoke memories for others.
The uncle took down the sugar gourd that Jingluo was referring to, and wrapped a piece of toilet paper around the root of the stick.
Then hand her the sugar gourd.
Jingluo took it and handed it to his uncle.
"No need to look for uncle, you can come home early when it's late."
After Jingluo finished speaking, the uncle didn't know what to think, and handed the money to Jingluo and said:
"You are very similar to a girl who bought sugar gourds from me before, and she also gave me 10 yuan and said the same thing, you are all good boys. But she hasn't been here for a long time. I've said too much... It's getting late, don't go out alone as a girl, go home early, otherwise your parents will be worried. ”
Uncle's words touched the softness of Jingluo's heart.
It's been a long time since I felt this way.
Whether it is touched or grateful, in short, I have mixed feelings in my heart.
Jingluo didn't take the money handed back by his uncle, and only said:
"The little girl is strong enough to protect herself, and you have to take care of yourself."
After Jingluo finished speaking, he followed the flow of people into the bustle.
All kinds of snacks and stores are still the same as before.
And after Jingluo's figure spilled into the crowd.
Xiao Liu didn't drive the car away, but looked at the street and felt a little familiar.
It's a remote location and rarely comes.
A lot of people come here to eat because it used to be downtown.
There are a lot of classic flavors that can't be replaced.
So people would rather walk a little longer to come here.
But what puzzled Xiao Liu before was that the rent here had hardly risen.
And this street is a project of Nansheng Group a few years ago.
I wanted to use the prime location here to promote New Street.
It's a pity that it was rejected by Nan Shiye.
At that meeting, Nan Shiye said:
"It's not difficult to create a shopping street, and you just need to execute, and if I can't achieve the task of developing a new center within three years. I left automatically. ”
At that time, Xiao Liu was still Nan Shiye's assistant.
After that, he was hired by Nanzhen as a private helper.
What Nan Shiye said at that time, he did.
Just to keep this old street, now it seems that it is probably for Jingluo.
I can't imagine that Nan Shao would treat her like this, and she must have something unique beyond ordinary people.
Xiao Liu shook his head with a sigh, and then drove the car away.
————————————
There are many unexpected things in this world.
Those who are in it may not understand.
People who read the story may not be able to understand it.
You're not her, and you won't understand her struggles. Maybe you say you know, but you're not her after all.
Standing in prosperity, how can anyone really be relieved.
But because of all kinds of emotions and constraints, you are who you are.
————————————
Jingluo went to the open-air table and sat down in front of a noodle restaurant.
I ordered two servings of noodles.
There's no trick here, just tell the boss that you want a few bowls of noodles.
It didn't take long for Cheng Yiyang to arrive.
The noodles on the table had just been served, and he was not too late.
"The noodles in this house are very delicious, you can try them."
Jingluo pushed one of the two bowls of noodles in the middle to Cheng Yiyang.
Then he brought another bowl to himself.
"Why do I feel that you are so sad, Jingluo." Cheng Yiyang felt that Jingluo's mood was not high.
I thought it was because I was happy that I called him out for a meal.
That doesn't seem to be the case now.
Jingluo smiled reluctantly and said, "Maybe it's because this place is too old, like many years ago." ”
Cheng Yiyang turned his head and looked around, it was indeed very old, but it had a different taste.
"I've been here before, and my dad smuggled me here. The shop at the end of the walk is also a noodle restaurant, and it is also delicious. Hey, why are there so many street noodle restaurants? Cheng Yiyang said, his eyes followed the plaque.
Half of the ten families are noodle restaurants.
"There's a story here." Jingluo said.
Cheng Yiyang saw that Jingluo seemed to know a lot about this place, so he asked:
"What a story, tell me about it."
After asking, I picked up chopsticks and ate two bites of noodles.
It's really fragrant~ The noodles are very strong.
"In the past, there was a special custom that on the sixth day of the sixth month of June, every family had to eat noodles, and they had to make them by hand. It is said that the longer the noodles are rolled, the more the people of this family will be safe and secure and live a long life. ”
Cheng Yiyang nodded and said, "Then this custom is quite good." It's a good wish. ”
After speaking, he handed a pair of chopsticks to Jingluo.
"Thank you. It's a pity that people nowadays still care about this~ Don't say it, eat it. ”
Jingluo ate hot noodles, it must have been hot to his eyes, so it would be a little thick.
Cheng Yiyang said: "Although today is not June 6, do you want to make your own bowl of noodles?" ”
"Huh?" The face in Jingluo's mouth was torn in the air as she raised her head.
The little doubts coming out of his mouth and the soft little face made Cheng Yiyang smile.
"Eat, I'll take you somewhere after eating."
Cheng Yiyang already has a general route, go to the supermarket to buy something first, and then go home to cook.
After meeting Nanzhen Yu at home that day, he changed the password.
Don't worry about 'stumbling upon'.
My father took a picture of the real estate certificate and passed it to him, and his name is still very eye-catching.
As for Nanzhen Yu, it is not in the slightest consideration.
After the two finished eating, they took a taxi to the supermarket.
This point is still open, all of which are worthy of praise, and buying some food late at night to make it yourself is a special sense of happiness.
This is a business opportunity!
Especially in such a bustling city, there are many 'drifters'.
Perhaps for them, a simple meal in the evening can bring energy to the next day's work.
"Hello and welcome." The sound made by the robot duckling is a little mischievous.
"Wow~ This is so cute." The first thing Jingluo saw when he walked into the supermarket was a bear doll.
Trotted a few steps over to its cabinet and watched.
Only it's in a glass case.
Cheng Yiyang asked the salesman.
"Hello, how much does that doll cost?" He pointed in the direction where Jingluo was.
"I'm sorry sir, that's not for sale." The salesman said.
"But my friend really likes it, can you make an exception and sell it to us." Cheng Yiyang's eyes seemed to say again:
Please, please.
The salesman shook his head and said, "It's really not good, it's our boss's private." It's really here to attract customers, but it's not for sale. ”
After hearing this, Cheng Yiyang really wanted to ask the owner of this supermarket in person.
It's really indebted to put it here and not sell it.
Jingluo heard their conversation, and looked at it reluctantly before walking to Cheng Yiyang's side and saying:
"It's okay, this doll looks very delicate and should be custom-made. I just appreciate and don't want to. Let's go, go buy noodles. ”
With that, he tugged at his sleeve.
Then I went to the food area first.
All kinds of noodles, they should only buy a small bag of noodles.
Jingluo really hadn't cooked before...
Mobile phones are really a good thing, and the problem is solved after a search on the Internet.
Cheng Yiyang followed behind Jingluo, still looking at the bear doll unwillingly.
Her low mood just now changed three hundred and sixty degrees just because of it.
Alas~
"Just buy a small bag and we'll make a meal. After eating for a while, I went back to the hospital. Cheng Yiyang saw that Jingluo chose so seriously, and said with a suggestion.
Jingluo didn't think he would go back to the hospital tonight...
Can't sleep there.
(I slept soundly...)
I don't want to hang the bottle, I suddenly left the hospital today, and my face was very bad when the nurse went in the afternoon.
told Cheng Yiyang that his boyfriend was not competent at all...
Why do the people of H City use such a positive tone for other people's relationships.
But the content is still pretty good.
Cheng Yiyang just admitted his mistake and said that he would be back soon.
"Pick a bag, I feel the same." Jingluo said.
Cheng Yiyang: Actually... Can't cook either!
God knows why the two of them, who don't know anything, would make their own dough.
Now it's awkward.
"Hello, please pick us a bag." Cheng Yiyang wittily asked the salesperson for help.
Then the man recommended him a few categories.
Although I chose one at random in the end, there shouldn't be much difference in the noodles.
I've never eaten pork and never seen a pig run.
Cheng Yiyang generally knows how to make noodles.
Isn't it just dough, then cut and flattened and then cut with a knife?
By the way, the knife hasn't been bought yet.
There should be this at home, my father said that someone has been cleaning it.
Forget it, I haven't been to the kitchen, so I'd better buy it.
After Cheng Yiyang put the noodles in the shopping cart, the two went to buy knives and chopsticks.
Overall, I bought enough.
When checking out, it was paid by Cheng Yiyang, when Jingluo went to get potato chips.
Jingluo still feels a little bad.
They are all people who are used to paying...
(This kind of person is so nice, or rather, it's nice to be rich!)
After all, they are all capable.
