Chapter II, Section 19
Grandma Li shook her head, "No, since the last time Cheng'en helped me beat those little rabbits, no one dared to steal my chickens again." ”
Jiang Yueyuan's heart moved, and he looked at Xie Chengen with some surprise, his indifferent personality could even have the enthusiasm to help the lonely old man drive away the chicken thieves?
She seems to know the second male who is different from the original text.
Come to think of it, Xie Chengen is just a male partner, mysterious and gloomy, and many of his descriptions are brushed aside.
Xie Chengen glanced at her lightly, what kind of look was she just now?
beckoning a few people to sit down, Grandma Li said with a smile: "I thought that Chengen's character would not have any playmates of the same age, but I didn't expect this kid to hide deeply, and he could make such a beautiful friend as Yuanyuan, why didn't he bring it to me earlier?"
The old man's teasing eyes swept over, and he always felt that something was wrong, Jiang Yueyuan hurriedly explained with a smile, and opened the topic, "What's the matter, they are all classmates, and there are just some things today." ”
Grandma Li showed a look of pity, these two children look good, if they can be together in the future, then there will be dolls, how rare it will be.
Noticing the somewhat strange atmosphere, Jiang Yueyuan hurriedly spoke again and brought things back on track, "Grandma Li, that's the case, in fact, I came here today to buy some eggs with you, do you think it's okay?"
Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Really, fake, of course!"
After speaking, she stretched out her hand and pointed to the chicken pen, "Grandma, I'm not afraid of your jokes, although the family is not rich, but there are a lot of eggs, I am old, my legs and feet are inconvenient, I can't buy it in the town, many times Chengen runs errands to help me go to the town to sell, if you want it, then of course grandma is also happy." ”
I didn't expect things to go so smoothly, Jiang Yueyuan was a little excited, "Then grandma, do you usually sell on a piece or a catty?"
"When it comes to selling, I don't weigh it at home, so it's better. ”
Jiang Yueyuan nodded, and then suddenly remembered that she had no money on her, and scratched her head a little embarrassedly, "Grandma, I just remembered that I didn't bring any money today, do you think this will be done? I'll give you a basket of eggs first, and I'll send you the money next week." ”
Grandma Li waved her hand when she heard this, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a basket of eggs, you are Chengen's friend, grandma can be trusted, don't worry, don't worry." ”
Hearing such simple words, Jiang Yueyuan only felt warm in her heart.
The old man looked up at the sky, turned to Xie Chengen and asked, "Does your father and mother come home at night?"
Xie Chengen shook his head, "No." ”
Because of Xie Cheng'an's illness, the family is trying to make money, usually Xie's father and mother can't leave, as long as Xie Chengen comes back from vacation, the couple will go out to do things and hand Xie Chengan to Xie Chengen to take care of.
The old man nodded knowingly, "In that case, let's eat before leaving?"
Without waiting for Xie Chengen to refuse, Jiang Yueyuan carefully saw the expectation hidden in the old man's eyes, and hurriedly spoke up before him, looking very happy, "Is it okay? I didn't expect to be able to have a free meal outside." ”
The family finally had some vitality, and the old man smiled happily and squinted, "Of course you can, you can come here, and it's not a trip in vain." ”
Seeing the old man get up, Jiang Yueyuan also stood up, "Grandma, are you going to do it now?
The old man still looked smiling, "I'll go and pick some vegetables from the vegetable field, and give you something fresh." ”
"Then I'll go with you. Jiang Yueyuan took the initiative to take the old man's arm.
Xie Chengen sat in his seat, staring at someone's back with displeasure.
Why did she decide for him?
Grandma Li's family is not well-off, and the elderly are frugal on weekdays.
It is not a problem for them to stay.
Xie Chengan sat at the table, supporting his little chin with his hand, and looked at his brother curiously, "Brother, what's wrong with you? Don't you want to eat at Grandma Li's?"
Summoned back to his senses by the immature Tongyin, Xie Chengen shook his head, and then glanced to the side.
Jiang Yueyuan followed Grandma Li to a small vegetable patch behind the house, which was green and a little vibrant.
Similar vegetable plots are common in the countryside, and almost every household will reclaim a piece of land in front of or behind the house to grow vegetables.
There are pumpkin, beans, and green peppers, which are all very common vegetables.
To be honest, if you don't have to worry about trivial things, living in the countryside, cultivating a small field, and growing your favorite vegetables is a pleasant thing.
"Girl, I'll just come, you just wait by the side. ”
"It's okay, grandma, I'll do it with you. ”
Jiang Yueyuan carefully bypassed the vines growing on the ground, learning to pick vegetables in style.
The movements in his hands became proficient, and the essence of the chatter was manifested again, and the original curiosity came to Jiang Yueyuan's heart again, "Grandma, what happened when you said that Xie Chengen helped you get rid of the egg thief?"
The old man squinted, as if caught in a memory, and slowly recounted the past one by one.
"In the past, there were always some little bastards who came to steal the eggs, and I couldn't do anything about them, until I met Cheng'en once, and he helped me get rid of those rabbit cubs, and since then he will come to see me and help me with some work. ”
“............”
"Chengen, this kid, is cold and hot-hearted, girl, don't look at him who doesn't have a smiling face all day long, in fact, he has a good heart, he is a trustworthy child. ”
Jiang Yueyuan was stunned, she still couldn't connect the Xie Chengen she heard from the old man with the Xie Chengen in the book, and she was still skeptical about the kindness of his heart, after all, she still remembered his methods.
It's just that I finally have a little more understanding of him.
After picking the dishes needed for the evening, Jiang Yueyuan carried the old man back to the house.
When they returned, Xie Chengen had already split the wooden stakes stacked in front of the door into firewood, and stacked them very neatly, and he looked like a good worker.
The old man approached and saw it, and praised him without hesitation: "Chengen, this kid is capable, he looks thin, but his strength is not small at all. ”
Xie Chengen didn't say anything, but fortunately, the old man had long been used to it, and he didn't say anything anymore, but Jiang Yueyuan found that there seemed to be one person missing, "What about Xiao An?"
Grandma Li looked clear, "I should have fallen asleep in the house, that kid, I'm sleepy fast." ”
Jiang Yueyuan nodded, and then took the initiative to ask Ying to wash the vegetables, the old man looked at the water tank, and then turned his head embarrassedly, "It's really old and confused, I forgot that there is no water in the water tank, so let's go to the river to wash, you wait for me at home." ”
Jiang Yueyuan hurriedly stopped the person, "It's better for me to go, grandma, you can make a fire at home." ”
The old man asked, "Do you know where the river is?"
After hearing this, Jiang Yueyuan shook her head, and Xie Chengen, who was chopping wood on the side, put down the axe and stood up, "I'll take her there." ”
