Chapter 65: No respect for elders and younger children
Lin Chuxia went to a grocery store and bought a few pounds of snacks, a few canned foods and malted milk. She saw apples being sold at the counter, which were quite large, so she picked out and bought a few bags.
When he got to a deserted place, he put some of them aside and went to a small courtyard not far from the bun shop with a bag of snacks and a bag of apples.
The courtyard door was not locked, so Lin Chuxia pushed it open and walked in, shouting, "Master, Master... Old man..."
"Call, call, call... Calling for the soul?" Old Master He stuck his head out of the window and gave her a cold look.
Lin Chuxia smiled at him through the window, "I saw that you hadn't been to the bun shop for several days, so I thought you had found your second spring. I didn't call you a few more times, otherwise it would be bad if you ran into someone you shouldn't have run into."
"You are such a disrespectful person..."
Grandpa He threw a pillow through the window. Lin Chuxia caught it steadily with one hand. Seeing that Grandpa He was still looking for something and was determined to hit her, she quickly stopped him.
"Stop, Master. I can't catch it if you throw it again. Look at my hands. They are all delicious food I bought for you."
When Mr. He saw the bag she raised, he finally gave up hitting her, snorted coldly and turned his head away.
Lin Chuxia walked into the house carrying something in one hand and a pillow in the other.
Even though Mr. He always wore tattered clothes, his house was very tidy.
Maybe it was because of the long years of sorting Chinese medicinal herbs when he was young that he developed a bad temper. He put everything in the right place, and even the clothes he wore were very worn out. I don't know how many times he used them.
years.
After Lin Chuxia recognized her master, the first thing she did was to buy him new clothes and shoes, and even replaced his bed with new bedding.
After putting the things on the kang, Lin Chuxia looked at the old man's face and said, "He doesn't look sick. Why doesn't he go out?"
Ever since the two of them became master and apprentice, Grandpa He has never sat at the train station alone again. He goes to the store or chats with Grandma Su almost every day.
I haven't seen anyone these two days.
Mr. He took an apple from the bag, wiped it twice and started to eat it. "Are you disappointed that I'm not sick? Then you must be extremely disappointed. Have you forgotten what I do? It's really not easy to make me sick and unable to get out of bed."
"Master, look at you. I'm concerned about you, but why are you acting like a child? If you're not physically ill, then you must be unhappy. Talk to your disciple and see if I can help you resolve the problem, ok?"
Lin Chuxia tilted her head and looked at him, which made Mr. He lose his guard.
"Okay, I'm not sick anywhere, I just want to be alone at home for a while. I get upset when I see you, and you come to my house to bother me. Is there something wrong? If not, leave quickly. You've disturbed my half-sleep."
Lin Chuxia didn't want to ask about the old man's personal affairs, and she felt relieved to see that he was a good person.
"Then you continue to sleep. I can't leave yet. Oh, by the way, Master, let me make this clear. You have had enough quietness these few days. You must come to my place to have some fun during the Mid-Autumn Festival. You can't stay at home alone."
Seeing that the old man wanted to refuse, Lin Chuxia made a gesture first, "Stop, don't refuse, otherwise it will affect the master-disciple relationship. It's settled, I'm leaving."
Mr. He smiled as he watched the figure walk out of the door, and the smile on his face gradually faded.
He pulled out a photo from under the mattress. In the photo, the boy had a handsome and tender face with a smile on it.
Today is my son's birthday. He is exactly 30 years old this year. More than ten years ago, something happened in his family and my son was taken away on his 18th birthday. Since then, they have never been reunited on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
After the policy improved, he thought they would be reunited soon, but year after year, there was still no news from his son.
Mr. He's gaze fell on the snacks and fruits beside him, and a tear fell from his cloudy eyes.

Lin Chuxia came out from Grandpa He, took out a bag of apples from the space, and went directly to the vegetable market.
I arrived at Li Jian's office door and knocked on it. After hearing the person inside call out "Come in", I pushed the door open and saw two other people in the office besides Li Jian.
The three were talking about something. Li Jian looked up at Lin Chuxia, pointed to the chair next to him and asked her to sit down first, then continued the previous topic with the other two.
Lin Chuxia put the apple aside and sat on the chair waiting for him. Fortunately, the conversation between the few people ended quickly, and the other two hurried away after receiving the instructions.
"It seems that Brother Li is very busy recently," Lin Chuxia just heard two sentences, and it seemed that they were both about exploring markets outside of Beijing.
Li Jian poured her a glass of water. "It's better to be busy. This way, people will have a purpose in life. You know, Yang Zhan handed the last matter to me. This is to let me make a pledge. If I don't do well in this matter, don't expect to get ahead in the future."
Lin Chuxia took the water and said with a smile, "With Brother Li's ability, it's no problem."
"You are the only one who thinks highly of me."
Li Jian smiled sincerely. This girl was his lucky star and benefactor.
The work in recent period has not been in vain, the market in the city has basically stabilized. At the meeting yesterday, Stationmaster Yang specifically pointed out that this matter is the top priority of their vegetable station at the moment, and it also gave him, a newcomer, a chance to show off.
After the meeting, he stayed and said a lot of encouraging words. To be honest, this feeling was something he had only dreamed about two months ago.
"Brother Li, do you have something to talk to me about?" Lin Chuxia asked first.
Li Jian came back to his senses, "Oh, there is something, Wang Cheng is looking for you, let's go and take a look, there is something good."
When Wang Cheng was mentioned, Lin Chuxia knew what was going on and quickly stood up, "We have to go over there quickly."
Wang Cheng was also in charge of the vegetable transportation. Seeing Lin Chuxia get straight to the point, he pointed to a cart next to him and said, "Sister, you still want a cart, right? The vegetable station has just bought two four-wheel tractors, and these carts need to be handled at the station. I thought of you, so I picked a good one for you."
Lin Chuxia showed her surprise at the right time, "That's great, I'm just in need of that, thank you Brother Wang for thinking of me."
"That's right," Wang Cheng only had this little power in the station. He could sell these scrap carts to anyone, but selling them to Lin Chuxia made him feel happy.
This girl is straightforward and understands human nature. Who wouldn't want to deal with such a person?
Li Jian interjected, "Look, you're so stingy. Pick two more. It's not like I won't give you money."
Lin Chuxia asked Wang Cheng in surprise, "Brother Wang, can I have two more?"
Wang Cheng really didn't expect that she had such a big appetite. She had already bought one before, and this one would mean two.
Nowadays, it’s good enough for every family to have two bicycles. Who needs so many carts? Is there nothing to do with the money?
But he didn't hesitate, "Yes, this pile has to be dealt with, but if you pick again, you won't be able to pick out something like this."
Lin Chuxia didn't mind. "I know. Brother Wang picked this one for me. It's obvious that he carefully selected the best one. For the rest, Brother Wang, you can just pick two similar ones. I'll go back and clean them up myself. You know, my family is a vegetable farmer, and it's really convenient to sell vegetables with a cart."
