"Okay." Wang Yanmei nodded and muttered, "I don't know what happened to your grandpa. I haven't seen him selling vegetables for many years."

Xu Qingzhi's eyes darkened and he said nothing.

She watched her mother get on the motorcycle, then she walked back to Grandpa's seat and took the food out of her arms, "Grandpa, here you go, it's still hot."

Xu Dongru happily took it and subconsciously wanted to say something like "don't buy it next time", but when she thought her granddaughter wouldn't like this, she changed it to "Thank you, my dear granddaughter."

Xu Qingzhi sat down with satisfaction and helped sell the vegetables.

There is no need to shout when selling vegetables here, as there are always people coming and going.

When someone came to ask about the price or picked up two, Xu Dongru would collect the money and install them.

Xu Qingzhi took some new water onions from the basket at the back to fill the gap.

An auntie who came to buy shallots picked up two bunches and couldn't help but praise them: "Uncle, your shallots are very green and tender. I think your shallots are the best looking ones on the market today."

Xu Dongru smiled, took the money and installed it for the customer.

After the people left, Xu Dongru arranged the water plantains neatly, muttering to himself, "It's strange, my water plantains hadn't grown much a while ago, but yesterday I saw that they had grown so much."

Of course Xu Qingzhi knew what was going on. She originally wanted to water the plants with some spiritual spring water, but she forgot to dilute it, causing the water plantain to grow too fast.

But she definitely wouldn't say it out loud, and only said, "I guess it rained a while ago, so the water plantain has grown well. Just like the little cabbage, go and see it after the next rain, and it will have grown quite big."

"That's right." Xu Dongru nodded.

At nine o'clock in the morning, some people started to pack up their stalls. The water plantains grown by Xu Dongru looked beautiful. After comparing prices, everyone came to buy his water plantains, which were now sold out.

Xu Dongru rolled up the snakeskin bag, put it into the basket, and carried it on a shoulder pole.

The grandfather and grandson are ready to go back.

At this time, the heart-wrenching cry of a little girl was heard from a stall not far away.

Everyone's eyes looked over there.

The aunties next to them stretched their necks to look, chatting while eating melon seeds.

"The Xia family sold their dog. The person who bought it was a dog meat dealer. The little girl in the family heard that her dog was going to be eaten and refused to sell it."

"It's a sin for the little girl to cry like this. If my daughter cried like this, I wouldn't sell her."

The stall was not far away, and Xu Dongru could see it just by looking up.

The little girl held the dog tightly and refused to let go. The man who collected the dog frowned. Seeing the child crying like this, he couldn't bear it: "Old Xia, why don't you just not sell it?"

"Sell, sell, sell! Why not?" Old Man Xia grabbed the little girl's arm and said, "Let go of me, you loser. I provide you with food, clothing, and education, but you only cause trouble for me."

The little girl cried out, "Grandpa, please don't sell the rhubarb. I don't want to eat anymore. I'll give it to the rhubarb. Please don't sell it to others."

The people around him were also persuading him: "Old Xia, your granddaughter has developed feelings for this dog, so don't sell it. It won't make much money anyway."

When Old Man Xia saw that his granddaughter's crying attracted the attention of everyone around him, he felt embarrassed.

He grabbed the little girl's arm, pried the dog out from between her fingers, and handed it to the dog dealer by its two front paws, "Take it away, take it away."

The dog dealer sighed, gave the money, and stuffed the dog into the motorcycle cage.

Old man Xia packed up his stall, not caring at all about the little girl who was throwing a tantrum and crying sadly.

"Don't eat my rhubarb, don't eat it."

"Wuwuwu...Grandpa, please take Dahuang back."

The dog dealer locked the cage on the back of the motorcycle and prepared to drive away.

Xu Dongru suddenly spoke up, "Qingzhi, your father sent us a few hundred chickens and ducks a while ago, and we are raising them in the pigsty behind us. How about letting Grandpa raise a dog to look after the chickens and ducks for you? It will prevent them from being stolen. The family that raised chickens had their chickens stolen during the Chinese New Year, but later they raised a dog, and when thieves came, the dog would bark, and they were never stolen again."

"Okay, Grandpa, you can raise the child if you want." Xu Qingzhi nodded.

Update as much as possible.
