Another old lady said sourly: "They are attracted by her belly. Who said Xie Linan is unlucky in marriage? He finally married a woman with a strong luck, and they are counting on her to carry on the family line."
Mrs. Liu said, "Hey, you are just saying the grapes are sour because you can't eat them."
"How is this jealous? If you weren't attracted to her belly, why didn't you buy her grapes and bananas earlier?"
Mrs. Liu: “…”
"Think about it, why would you want to take advantage of her? It would be stupid of you to take advantage of her."
Old Lady Liu said, "Xiaozhen is very pretty."
"What's the point of having a good look? A woman needs a big butt to give birth to a son. Now with family planning, a family is only allowed to have one child. If they can't give birth to a son, they're doomed."
…
Xie Linan washed all the grapes, invited Hongxia to come and eat, and asked her to take some for her great-grandmother and her mother.
Xie Li said, "Give it to Zhen, I don't like it."
Who wouldn't be greedy at this time?
It’s just that there’s not much to see and it’s expensive, so I can’t bear to eat it.
Xie Linan forced a handful into her hand and said, "I remember you loved to eat grapes. When dad bought me grapes, you drooled."
Suddenly remembering what happened back then, Xie Li felt a lump in her throat.
She said in a buzzing voice: "I loved to eat it when I was a kid, but I don't like to eat it anymore when I grow up."
Lin Xinghua took two and ate one. It was so sour that his teeth gritted. "Why is it so sour?"
"Grapes are sour, of course." Xie Linan said as he stuffed one into Ye Xiaozhen's mouth.
Ye Xiaozhen tasted it and found it was indeed sour.
This grape is an old native grape that has not been improved by technology. It is really sour.
"Hey, I don't want to eat anymore." Lin Xinghua felt sour for a long time before he calmed down. He gave the other one to Hongxia and said, "I don't have many teeth left. Don't let them all become sour."
Xie Linan wondered, "Is it so sour?"
놛 picked one up and said, "The lady who sells grapes said it's not sour."
I ate one, and it was so sour that my teeth were irritated.
"Tui, I was deceived by that old woman."
Lin Xinghua said unhappily: "You are stupid, you don't even know how to taste it."
Xie Linan said: "I never thought that she looked simple and honest, but she was actually deceiving people."
Hongxia frowned because of the sour taste, but she still ate slowly.
She was very happy because she had eaten it once before, the year her grandmother died, and it was bought by her father.
Thinking of that father, Hongxia was not so happy anymore.
Xie Linan suddenly remembered something and stood up to take a package from the motorcycle.
"Grandpa, we bought you shoes."
The shoes I ordered for you last time have been delivered.
Lin Xinghua's face changed slightly, "Why did you buy me shoes? I don't have shoes to wear, and there are two new pairs hanging on the wall that I haven't worn yet."
"Those are your straw sandals."
"What's wrong with the straw sandals? I made them myself."
Xie Linan tore open the newspaper and said, "Take a look first. It's different from your straw sandals."
Two pairs of shoes, two with thick soles and one with thin soles. Lin Xinghua looked at them for a long time and asked, "Why are you still wearing high heels?"
"Yeah, high heels."
"Are you kidding me? You idiot, you have nothing better to do than to make fun of me. If an old man like me wears high heels, people will laugh at me."
Hongxia, whose teeth were so sour, laughed out loud first. During the period of teeth replacement, she couldn't stop drooling when she laughed, and her mouth was full of saliva. She quickly reached out to pocket the saliva.
Lin Xinghua said unhappily: "Look, Hongxia is laughing so hard that her mouth is watering."
"She's salivating with jealousy, Hongxia, stop eating."
Everyone thinks the grapes are sour and no one eats them.
Hongxia was reluctant to let go, so she held him in her arms, took a few steps back, and shook her head.
"You kid, I'll buy it again some other time. You're almost throwing it away."
She still shook her head, "No, I'll eat it."
After saying that, she ran to the yard holding a bunch of grapes and watched them eat from a distance.
Strictly speaking, she wanted to see her great-grandmother wearing high heels.
Seeing that the old man was glaring with anger, Xie Linan stopped teasing.
They each took one and gave it to Lin Xinghua, saying, "Grandpa, I'm not making fun of you. This is what a pair should look like. Take a look."
"Here's a pair. Hey, one is higher than the other..." He turned them over and over, smacked his lips, and said, "Could it be that they were specially made to cure my lameness?"
"Yes, try it on and see if you can."
놛Take off your straw sandals and put on these high and low shoes.
I was still not used to standing up and almost fell.
Xie Linan hurriedly supported him.
At this age, it would be a big deal if it fell.
"Grandpa, how do you feel?"
I tried to lift my legs and took a step, and out of habit my body bent toward the shorter side, but my legs were not shorter.
The estimate was inaccurate and I almost fell again.
Fortunately, Xie Linan held on to me without letting go.
"Grandpa, don't lean to the side. Your legs are the same length now. Just walk like a normal person."
How do ordinary people walk?
How do you know how normal people walk?
In my opinion, my previous walking was normal.
Now my legs are the same length, and I'm not used to it.
"No, no, no, no." Lin Xinghua waved his hand and sat down to change his shoes.
Xie Linan stopped him and asked, "Grandpa, what are you doing?"
"I can't walk in this, I won't wear it anymore."
"Oh, you're not used to it. I'll help you walk more and you'll get used to it."
"But this...I feel awkward walking."
"I've already told you that you're just not used to it yet. Besides, these shoes are custom-made for you. They're not returnable or exchangeable. They cost ten bucks. If you don't wear them, no one else can either. It's a waste."
When he heard the ten yuan, his flesh hurt, and he said angrily: "Aren't you going to wear them? You wear them as one pair of flat soles and one pair of thick soles."
"Are you stupid? How can you wear two pairs of flat shoes if both are for the right foot?"
Lin Xinghua: “…”
"Who are you calling stupid, grandson?"
"Am I wrong? Besides, my feet are bigger than yours."
Then I realized that these were not two pairs, but four single ones.
I felt really bad about the money, so under Xie Linan's advice, I still agreed to let my husband support me and walk around twice.
Sure enough, she was not used to it at first, but after walking around the yard twice, she gradually got used to it, and Xie Linan also let go.
But I still didn't dare to walk far, and followed behind 놛 until 놛 walked several laps and completely adapted to the situation.
The old man was very happy now. He went for a stroll in the village wearing the custom-made shoes and told everyone he met that he was no longer lame and that they were not allowed to call him “Lin Laoguai” anymore.
Everyone was amazed and gathered around to look at him. "You've been lame all your life, how come you're no longer lame?"
"My oldest grandson bought me two pairs of special shoes, one with a thick sole and the other with a thin sole. Look, my legs are now the same length."
The other person squatted down and looked at the shoes, and exclaimed: "Oh, it really is. Lin Laoguai, you are wearing high heels on your left leg."
Lin Xinghua: “…”
It still makes an old man unhappy to be told that he is wearing high heels.
"Shut up if you can't talk. I call these height-increasing shoes."
“Those aren’t high heels.”
