Xu Qingzhi didn't drive fast, putting safety first.
Xu Dongru held the iron pole of the tricycle with one hand and wiped his eyes which were blurred by the wind with a handkerchief from his jacket pocket with the other hand, saying, "Grandpa, it's more comfortable to ride this tricycle. I felt a little carsick in the last half of the ride when I rode that little car."
Xu Qingzhi smiled and said, "Okay, I understand. If the road is not far, I will drive a tricycle."
A brand new tricycle drove towards us from a distance.
"Qingzhi." Xu Nanjie honked the horn twice, greeted from a distance, and then stopped.
Xu Qingzhi honked the horn in response and stopped.
There are usually very few cars on the road, and now there is no car at all on the concrete road. It is different from the traffic in the city, so stopping temporarily will not cause any impact.
As the first top student in the area to return to the village to grow pumpkins, Xu Dongru certainly knew him, "Nanjie, has the thief who stole the pumpkin been caught?"
"Grandpa Xu." Xu Nanjie greeted him politely, and then replied, "Not yet, but there are some clues. The village chief of Bajia Village also attaches great importance to it and is helping me look for it. Although they are just a few pumpkins and are not worth much money, this behavior is really too bad."
"It's a good thing that the village chief pays attention to you. After all, you are a top student who comes back to specialize in growing pumpkins. Maybe you can even lead several villages around us to become rich. I've seen a lot of news reports like this on TV." Xu Dongru chatted with those old men and women as usual.
There was a hint of pride on Xu Nanjie's face. Although he had not yet achieved that step, his goal was indeed to make money together with the people in the village.
He nodded, responding to Grandpa Xu's words, and looked at Xu Qingzhi from the corner of his eyes, and found that she seemed to like to use a wooden hairpin to hold her hair, just like last time. It was different from the TV show where she wore a luxurious dress to attend the red carpet, looking unattainable.
He listened to Grandpa Xu's nagging, responded one by one, and said to Xu Qingzhi: "Qingzhi, I heard that you planted several acres of vegetables at home. Although the area you planted is not as large as mine, you still have to be careful of thieves. I heard from the villagers before that there are always a few families in the village who like to pick a few vegetables when they pass by."
Xu Qingzhi said calmly: "Okay, thank you for your reminder."
She looked back at grandpa, who had an expression that showed she had had enough of chatting, and gripped the handlebars, ready to drive away.
Xu Nanjie suddenly stretched out his hand, "By the way, don't use the tricycle to carry Grandpa Xu next time. I plan to buy a new one in a while. If you need it, I can lend it to you anytime in the future."
Xu Qingzhi's expression became even more pale.
Xu Dongru felt something was wrong with the tone, as if his granddaughter couldn't afford a car. He said unhappily, "My Qingzhi bought a car, but I, an old man, can't get used to it. A tricycle is good, with ventilation all around, and it's comfortable. Besides, my granddaughter is a good driver, and there are few cars on this road, so nothing will happen."
"What law is this against? Every family in the village that owns a tricycle has carried people. My granddaughter was just worried about my sore feet from walking. It's only a few miles, and it only takes a few minutes to get there."
Xu Nanjie also wanted to speak up about the law.
Xu Qingzhi drove away on his tricycle.
Passing by, he also met an old man who had a good relationship with grandpa. The old man was driving a small car for the elderly, so they couldn't help chatting again. Xu Qingzhi waited patiently.
After the two old men had chatted to their heart's content, the car continued on its way and sent grandpa back home.
Xu Qingzhi took out the vegetables and placed them on a conspicuous table in the kitchen so that grandpa would not forget to eat them. He also took out the eggs one by one and placed them in the ceramic jar that grandpa used to store eggs.
After finishing his work, Xu Qingzhi even told Grandpa specifically so that he wouldn't be confused: "Grandpa, I'll give you the old place for the vegetables on the kitchen table, and I'll put the eggs in the pottery jar for you."
"Okay." Xu Dongru sat on the bamboo chair at the gate.
Xu Qingzhi was originally planning to leave. When he came out of the kitchen and looked towards the door, he could only see his grandfather's back.
The sky was gloomy, no light could come in, and the whole room was dark.
She remembered that before her sudden death in her previous life, her grandfather had died in an accident.
This time, she will not let grandpa have an accident again, which is also one of the reasons why she saves money.
"Grandpa, do you want to renovate this house? There's a lot of moss in the yard, and the road becomes slippery when it rains."
I stayed up late and slept for three hours. I ran around outside all day. Then I fell asleep twice while doing things outside. I caught a cold. I have a bad cough, my mouth is always dry, my eyes are hot and I feel tired. I'm sorry for the lack of updates. I will update more tomorrow, and then start three updates later.
