Chapter 155 Oh no! We've been spotted!
Zhizhi also noticed this group of people.
She slapped the man's hand away, stood firmly in front of the older brother with righteous indignation, and glared at him with wide eyes, "What are you trying to do? Are you bullying an ordinary citizen?!"
"Little guy, he's pretty fierce?"
The man frowned, then chuckled to himself, "We're here to buy groceries! Why don't you do business with us?"
The little cub looked at them suspiciously, "Really? You're not here to cause trouble, are you?"
One of the young men in the Zhongshan suit, named Xiao Wu, looked down at himself suspiciously upon hearing this.
"How do I look like a thug? Am I that fierce?"
Zhizhi pouted, her dark, grape-like eyes practically screaming, "What do you think?"
"what are you looking for?"
They wanted to finish this deal quickly and leave, otherwise they might run into bad guys and that would be terrible!
Xiao Wu glanced at the vegetables on the stall and muttered, "I heard your vegetables were cheap before, but now it doesn't look like there's much. What can I do with just this little bit?"
Zhizhi got angry when she heard this, "Who said that! Who said that! All the vegetables in my garden have been bought! You didn't come earlier, and now you're complaining that there aren't enough vegetables! How awful!"
Hearing the little dumpling's flustered voice, Xiao Wu quickly smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Look how anxious you are. I just felt there wasn't enough food. Please bring more next time. We are big customers."
Zhizhi turned her head away haughtily, "Hmph!"
Gan Su, standing to the side, asked somewhat helplessly, "So, are you still going to buy it or not?"
"Buy, buy, buy! I'll take all of these!"
Xiao Wu pointed to them all like he was inspecting his troops, and finally his gaze fell on the small basket of strawberries at the cub's feet, and his eyes lit up immediately.
Wow, a giant strawberry! I want one too!
"This isn't for sale!"
Zhizhi hugged the strawberry tightly, carefully afraid he would snatch it away, "This is for my aunt to eat, I won't sell it to you even if you're craving it!"
Xiao Wu swallowed hard, his eyes wide with anticipation. "Okay..."
The little cub seems to dislike him a bit. Is he really that scary-looking?
They couldn't even leave a good impression.
Xiao Wu touched his face, silently shedding tears.
How much is it in total?
Upon hearing the word "money," Zhizhi immediately pulled out her little abacus and began calculating at lightning speed, weighing each item one by one. The beads on her abacus flew by, their clicking and clattering matching the speed at which she smacked her lips as she cursed.
After weighing the last bunch of chives, Zhizhi clearly stated the price:
"Two cabbages, 12.8 jin, three jin of turnips... two jin of chives, the total is: 16 yuan and 5 mao!"
After thinking for a moment, Zhizhi decided to give the loquat next to her to this strange uncle, since it was such a big deal.
"There are a total of one and a half pounds of loquats. Winter is dry, and this fruit is good for the lungs, so I'll give them to you. Please come more often in the future."
Xiao Wu's eyes lit up, and he quickly took it with both hands.
He readily took out the money and said, "Okay! You guys prepare more next time, we'll take as much as you have."
Gan Su squinted and asked cautiously, "So many dishes, can we finish them all?"
Xiao Wu waved his hand dismissively, "We can finish it all. Everyone in the compound is a smart person, and they all have big appetites. Alright, we're leaving now, see you next time!"
As he spoke, he called to several colleagues behind him to carry the vegetables away.
When Deng Qiu arrived, she found that all the vegetables were sold out. She then waved the good stuff she had found in her hand.
"Look what Mom bought!"
Wow, a plush little bear!
The mother and daughter happily began packing up their stall to go home. Deng Qiu didn't want her daughter to get her hands dirty, so she let her sit next to her with the bear while she started packing up herself.
"Mom." Gan Su quietly tugged at his mother's sleeve and pointed to Xiao Wu, who had just left. "I'm going to check on him. Wait for me."
Deng Qiu was puzzled, but she still reminded him, "Be careful, don't wander off."
"rest assured."
"I'm going too!"
Zhizhi immediately raised her hand and followed suit.
Two little kids, one big and one small, quietly followed the crowd of shoppers.
When they reached the street corner, they discovered that Xiao Wu and his group had gotten into a black sedan.
These days, owning a bicycle is considered a luxury, and cars are something most people have never even seen.
Zhizhi whispered, "Those people's clothes were really neat, they didn't look like they were from a cafeteria or restaurant, there was no smell of cooking oil. Big brother, what do you think they're here for?"
Gan Su wasn't sure either. "It just felt weird. They came to buy things based on what they'd heard, like they came specifically for us."
Zhizhi carefully recalled the scene that had just occurred.
Although it was Xiao Wu who did all the grocery shopping and chores.
but... ...
Zhizhi had excellent eyesight and spotted a middle-aged man standing by the car. He was wearing a light gray Zhongshan suit.
"Big brother! Look at that person!"
She hadn't noticed it before, but now that she saw it, she suddenly remembered.
When Xiao Wu and his group of men in black came to buy groceries, they kept glancing in a certain direction not far away.
It seems like I'm looking at that uncle in the gray coat.
"Hey? That uncle doesn't look like a bad guy, he's tall and handsome... he looks kind of familiar."
Zhizhi wrinkled her nose and racked her brains, but she still couldn't remember who she looked like.
Gan Su patted her and said, "Alright, it's enough that you know he's not a bad guy. He looks like someone from a government agency, probably someone who works in the canteen. What kind of candied hawthorn do you want? I'll go buy it for you."
"I'd like one flat hawthorn and one round hawthorn. And a bunch of yam beans too!"
Gan Su nodded, took the money, and ran across the street to buy candied hawthorns.
They were already familiar with the vendors around them, so they didn't have to worry about Zhizhi getting lost right under their noses.
When Zhizhi saw her older brother go to buy candied hawthorns, she took a few steps closer, trying to figure out who the man in the gray coat was. She felt like he looked familiar, as if she saw him every day.
The little cub quietly walked forward, completely unaware of what was happening.
She thought people wearing gray Zhongshan suits stood out.
But people still find a tiny, delicate, and fluffy little dumpling eye-catching.
The uncle in the gray Zhongshan suit waved to Zhizhi, and you could even see him smile.
The little cub suddenly stopped, its eyes wide open.
Oh no! We've been spotted!
