A week later, Xu Guowei drove his son to the provincial capital, and there was no one else in the car except the father and son.

Tang Lingfei and Song Xingye really didn't take their car. After all, reporting to high school is a significant day, and the parents of both teenage girls don't want to miss it.

The car drove directly to Xu Zhe's grandparents' house.

Grandpa had already greeted them, and today he was going to entertain his grandson with freshly caught fish.

"I'm kind of stained with your light," Xu Guowei laughed when he got out of the car, "Your grandfather didn't take the initiative to say that he would cook fish for me before." When I was a child, I had to beg for half a day to get your grandfather to arrange an extra meat dish. ”

Xu Zhe: "In the past, the conditions were difficult, and it was not easy to eat meat. ”

Xu Guowei: "It's easy to buy fish now, but grandpa Ling is good, don't buy it, you have to fish it yourself." ”

Xu Zhe: "This is the fun of fishermen." ”

"So your grandfather attaches great importance to you......" Xu Guowei said this, but the volume suddenly became smaller, as if he had just thought of something, and became a little weak.

Xu Zhe asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xu Guowei looked down at his hands: "Let's go to eat like this, and we don't bring anything empty-handed, isn't it a bit bad?" ”

Xu Zhe: "You are a father, a forty-year-old man, you ask me?" ”

Xu Guowei was silent for two seconds, then turned around and said, "Let's go, let's go buy some fruit." ”

Xu Zhe took out his mobile phone and glanced at it.

Luckily, they left early, and now it's an hour or two before lunchtime, so it's perfectly late to buy some fruit.

————

Xu Zhe stood in the noisy and noisy vegetable market and complained: "Why don't you go to the supermarket?" ”

And his father was squatting in front of the stall to pick peaches at this time, and said without raising his head: "I have been to the supermarket nearby, and the fruits are all wrapped, so you are not allowed to pick them." ”

The owner of the fruit stall also smiled: "That is to say, the quality in the supermarket is not good, and I am the freshest!" ”

Xu Zhe didn't bother to discuss with the boss where the fruit was fresh, he only felt a little thirsty. So he asked again: "I'm going to buy some mineral water, will you drink it?" ”

Xu Guowei: "If you don't drink, if you want to buy it, you can buy your own." ”

So the boy shook his head, turned and walked towards the small grocery store in the vegetable market.

This vegetable market near his grandparents' house was a little impressed by him in his previous life. At this time, when he set foot here again, the noise, and the smell of countless meat and vegetable ingredients mixed together in the air, made him feel an inexplicable sense of nostalgia.

In the future, with the development of large supermarkets and online shopping for fresh food, there is less and less need to go to this kind of vegetable market to purchase ingredients. The development of the takeaway industry has made more and more people stop purchasing ingredients and don't even need stoves......

Xu Zhe's thoughts drifted so much, but he didn't expect that an unexpected figure made him stop in astonishment.

Not far from the non-staple food shop, there is a shop and stall selling aquatic products. At this time, a stubborn old man with a vicissitudes of life was standing in front of one of the stalls.

That's his grandfather.

Xu Zhe was surprised - why did he see his grandfather in the vegetable market? And, why does grandpa seem to be buying fish?

He took a closer look at it again.

The old man was carrying a fishing rod box on his back. The long box is very conspicuous.

In addition to the fishing rod box, there is also a backpack, and the things in it are probably all fishing equipment, right?

The old man had just finished paying the money and bought the fish, and asked the vendor to put the fish in his net. Then he reached back and pulled a hook out of the side pocket of his backpack, and stuck it into the fish's mouth, making a small hole.

The fish struggled violently, but unfortunately the old man's hand was so strong that it was useless to twist it.

After tying, the old man wiped the hook with a handkerchief, and stuffed the handkerchief and the hook back into the side pocket of his backpack.

The vendor on the side smiled and said, "Uncle, it's really a full set of shows!" ”

And Xu Zhe stood there, helpless.

He almost shouted. But fortunately, I realized it before I opened my mouth, and if I call grandpa now, it will be equivalent to exposing my shortcomings.

Obviously, Grandpa didn't catch a fish, so he needed to come here to buy it. Pretending not to see, pretending not to know, and preserving grandpa's face is the most filial choice.

But at this moment, the old man inadvertently turned his head, but saw his grandson standing not far away in a daze.

"Huh?"

"Uh......"

When his eyes met, Xu Zhe knew that he was going to make a big filial piety.

The next moment, Grandpa's waist became a little bent. The old man, who was originally very energetic, suddenly had a sad face.

He beckoned his grandson to come over. But he turned his head again to look at the vendor, and a few passers-by around him, and walked towards the boy.

The old man walked up to the boy and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Xu Zhe: "My dad came to buy fruit, I'll come with ......"

The old man blew his beard and glared: "This stinky boy, take me as his leader?" Go home and buy any fruit! ”

This is said as if it was Xu Guowei's fault, not his fault for buying fish and pretending to catch it himself.

Xu Zhe felt that it was not good to say anything, so he could only smile awkwardly.

The old man cleared his throat and explained solemnly, "I was supposed to go fishing yesterday, but I forgot. I caught a big one there last time, and last week, I called you! I should have been able to catch it today, but if I went late, the fish would be lazy to sleep, wouldn't it? ”

Xu Zhe nodded obediently: "Yes." ”

As for some complaints, he held back and didn't say anything, such as - can't catch it because the fish is sleeping? Did you go yesterday but didn't catch it? How many days has the Air Force been?

Grandpa said earnestly: "Xiao Zhe, don't tell anyone about today's incident, especially your grandmother!" ”

Xu Zhe nodded: "You go home, I just accompanied my father to the vegetable market, and I haven't seen you." ”

Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but be stunned: "Haven't you seen me?" ”

Xu Zhe smiled and said: "Yes, the conversation just now doesn't exist, until you go back with the fish, I will go over with my father, that is the first time our two of us meet today." ”

The old man's eyes slowly widened, and he suddenly gave a thumbs up: "Child, you have a future, you have a lot more prospects than your father!" ”

————

After Xu Guowei finished buying the fruit, he drove Xu Zhe out of the vegetable market. But while waiting for the red light, he turned his head and found that his son's expression seemed a little weird.

So Xu Guowei asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Xu Zhe smoothed the corners of his mouth: "What?" I wasn't smiling. ”

Xu Guowei: "Is it possible to eat fish later, and you will be happy when you think about it?" ”

Xu Zhe: "Well, sort of. ”

Xu Guowei: "But how do I remember that you don't seem to like fish very much, don't you prefer beef and mutton?" ”

Xu Zhe shook his head: "Beef and mutton are too hot to eat, and they are prone to nosebleeds. You can eat more fish in the future. ”

Xu Guowei smiled: "That's right, your grandfather is also more and more fond of fishing now, and you will be responsible for solving his spoils in the future!" ”

Xu Zhe also smiled: "It's really troublesome grandpa." ”
