Sha Zhu's cold was getting worse and worse, and he was still having nasal bubbles when he woke up the next day.
But since he had to go buy groceries today, Sha Zhu still insisted on getting up.
Yan Fugui woke up Yan Jiecheng early in the morning as he wanted to sleep in.
Yan Jiecheng rubbed his eyes and said reluctantly: "Dad, it's too early!"
"What do you mean early? Hurry up and take a stroll in the Central Courtyard, and then pretend to help." Yan Fugui scolded Yan Jiecheng. Yan Jiecheng could only reluctantly force himself to cheer up and walk towards the Central Courtyard.
When Yan Jiecheng arrived at the Central Courtyard, he happened to meet Sha Zhu washing up.
"Good morning, Shazhu. What are you doing so early in the morning?" Yan Jiecheng asked knowingly.
"Ah, it's Jie Cheng. It was all Xu Damao's fault that I didn't buy any vegetables yesterday. So today he bought some for me and the old lady in the backyard together." Sha Zhu said.
"Yeah, that's right. I said yesterday that I would buy it for the old lady today." Yi Zhonghai also came out and said with a smile. In fact, he didn't think about the old lady in the backyard at all and had forgotten it so long ago.
"Uncle, then you don't have to go. I will help buy it back later, so you don't have to make another trip. A whole car can almost hold it." Sha Zhu said.
"Or I can go with Shazhu." Yan Jiecheng interrupted.
Yi Zhonghai looked at Yan Jiecheng in surprise. It was the first time he saw Yan Jiecheng do such a thing.
"Okay, thank you both for your hard work." Yi Zhonghai said with a smile.
However, Yi Zhonghai did not think much about it. He thought that his previous use of moral stick had worked, and Yan Jiecheng also knew how to respect the elderly.
"Shazhu, when are we leaving?" Yan Jiecheng asked.
"Let's go soon. I still have to find a car." said Sha Zhu.
"The car is at my doorstep. I parked it at my doorstep when I got back yesterday." Yan Jiecheng continued.
"Then let's go."
Then Sha Zhu followed Yan Jiecheng to the front of Yan Fugui's house and pushed the car out.
In order to avoid embarrassment on the way, Yan Jiecheng made small talk with Sha Zhu: "Sha Zhu, why didn't you buy anything yesterday?"
Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu got angry and cursed, "It was all because of Xu Damao that he took my grandson and hid outside all night. I was shivering with cold. I had no choice but to come back in the morning. In the end, I overslept and caught a cold. Tell me, this bastard is a swindler or not."
Yan Jiecheng thought to himself: Xu Damao has not cheated you enough.
"Haha, this Xu Damao is always looking for trouble." Yan Jiecheng said with a smile.
"Yes, A-choo!" Sha Zhu said and sneezed again.
There are still a lot of people buying vegetables today. Yan Jiecheng is watching the cars on the side while Sha Zhu goes to queue up.
Because we went late, it was already past ten o'clock when it was our turn in line.
The two of them pushed a cart full of vegetables towards the courtyard.
At this time, Yan Fugui and the third aunt had already made preparations. They picked out the poorly piled vegetables at home and placed them at the door.
Because the tricycle usually has to be carried into the compound, and today there are too many things on the tricycle, so Sha Zhu and Yan Jiecheng can only park the car at the door.
"Forget about getting in. Just move it to the yard bit by bit." Sha Zhu said helplessly. It would take many trips to move the cabbages from these two families.
"It's okay. I'll go home and ask my dad and others to help. It will be quick." Yan Jiecheng said.
"That's great. I'm just scared." Sha Zhu said happily.
"Give it to the old lady first." After saying that, Sha Zhu held a few cabbages and went to the backyard.
Seeing this, Yan Jiecheng also picked up a few vegetables, but did not follow Sha Zhu, and instead took them home.
Yan Fugui and his wife were waiting. When they saw Yan Jiecheng coming back with the vegetables, they immediately ran to Yan Jiecheng and took the vegetables from him.
Then Yan Fugui quickly grabbed the same amount of bad vegetables from the ground and stuffed them into Yan Jiecheng's arms and said, "Go, take them away."
Yan Jiecheng originally thought that Yan Fugui had some good idea, but it turned out to be a trick at home. However, time was tight, so Yan Jiecheng didn't have time to think too much and went to the deaf old lady's house in the backyard with the vegetables.
At this time, the deaf old lady had already instructed Sha Zhu to put the dishes away.
"Put it here, put it here!" Sha Zhu said to Yan Jiecheng.
The deaf old lady is a very smart person. When Sha Zhu just talked to her about the Yan family's help, she felt something was wrong. Why would the Yan family, who would not do anything without benefit, help her for no reason?
But the deaf old lady didn’t notice anything, so she didn’t say anything.
When Sha Zhu and Yan Jiecheng were about to leave, the deaf old lady suddenly said, "Zhu Zi, help me take a few steps. I'll go out and help you keep an eye on it. You can't leave the things outside the yard without anyone watching. What if someone else takes them away?"
"That's true." Sha Zhu nodded, then stepped forward to support the deaf old lady.
Yan Jiecheng said, "Then I'll go out and move it first."
When Yan Jiecheng walked to the front yard, he saw Yan Fugui and the third aunt playing tricks at the door. Then Yan Fugui went to the backyard with some cabbages in his arms.
When the two met, Yan Jiecheng also instructed: "The deaf old lady needs to go outside to help Sha Zhu watch the car."
Yan Fugui nodded and said, "I see, it's okay."
Then, one of them went to the backyard and the other went outside.
The deaf old lady was so surprised when she saw Yan Fugui helping her carry the vegetables.
"Xiao Yan, why are you moving it yourself? Let the children do it." The deaf old lady said politely.
"It's okay. We're just staying here anyway." Yan Fugui said with a smile, not looking like a guilty thief at all.
After meeting Yan Fugui, the deaf old lady became even more suspicious. She wondered when Yan Fugui would be so kind as to take the initiative to help her.
Only Sha Zhu said with emotion: "Grandma, there are still many good people in our courtyard."
The deaf old lady curled her lips and said nothing, then continued to walk out with the support of Sha Zhu.
"Grandma, just sit here. I'm going to move the vegetables." Sha Zhu helped the deaf old lady sit down on the steps outside the yard and said.
"Go, go." said the deaf old lady.
After saying this, Sha Zhu picked up a few cabbages and walked towards the backyard.
Yan Fugui came out and greeted the deaf old lady with a smile, then picked a few of the largest cabbages and carried them in his arms into the yard.
The deaf old lady stood up with the help of a cane, took a few quick steps and followed Yan Fugui into the yard.
Yan Fugui didn't even notice that the deaf old lady was coming into the yard.
Yan Fugui walked to the door of his house and handed a few large cabbages directly to the waiting aunts, and then took a few side dishes from the aunts.
Yan Fugui had his back to the gate and didn't see the deaf old lady coming in.
But when the third aunt finished handing over the cabbage to Yan Fugui, she saw a deaf old lady who was staring at them with a crutch.
The third aunt's heart skipped a beat, and she stuttered as she grabbed Yan Fugui and said, "Old Yan, it's over!"
