"Did the girl who sells vegetables grow these vegetables?" Chen Jianping asked curiously.
"Absolutely! This girl is amazing."
"After graduating from university, I didn't stay in the big city to work for a few years. I came back to grow vegetables and trees."
"That's why they're college students; they know so much. Even the vegetables they grow taste much better than ordinary vegetables."
“When I first told my husband about this when I got home, that old man said the girl was silly.”
"They say it's great to stay in a big city, you see more, there are more opportunities, and so on."
I ignored him completely.
"Later, he tasted the young girl's vegetables and said that it was fortunate that the young girl went home to grow vegetables, otherwise we would not be able to eat such high-quality vegetables."
"That's what I was saying. What's wrong with a young girl going home? As long as she has the ability, she can achieve her ambitions anywhere!"
“That young girl lives at home, can reunite with her family every day, eat together, and even make a living by selling vegetables.”
"In the future, who knows, I might be able to lead the villagers to prosperity and revitalize the countryside."
"And look at my house..."
Once the older woman in front started rambling, she just couldn't stop.
She started talking about the young girl selling vegetables and then moved on to her own husband.
Then she started talking about her son, her own husband.
Seeing that she had already shifted the topic from her son's work to how to find a partner, Chen Jianping's eyelids twitched violently.
He looked up and realized that there were only two or three people left before it was his turn to buy groceries, so he quickly turned around and left.
But then he noticed something: wait, why can't he walk?
Turning around, I saw the sleeve being pulled by the older woman.
"Hey, it's almost our turn, what are you doing?"
"Do you need to pee?"
Do you need my help?
"No need, let go." Chen Jianping shook his head, then pulled hard.
He couldn't quite manage to pull his sleeve out of the old woman's hand.
Because there were people queuing around, their sudden pulling immediately attracted the attention of those around them.
Even Lin Anshu looked over with curiosity.
Then, she met Chen Jianping's slightly flustered eyes.
"Dr. Chen?"
"No, no, you've mistaken me for someone else."
After Chen Jianping finished speaking, he suddenly exerted his strength and managed to snatch his sleeve back from the old woman's hand.
Then, carrying his vegetable basket, he took off running.
"What Dr. Chen? What is this person here for?"
"I know, he's the expert who posted that young girl's shop online and said she was selling fake tea."
"What? It's him! That bastard, at his age, still bullying kids, has he no shame?"
"Pah, what kind of expert? These days, when experts speak, it's like they've been drinking fake alcohol; they're spouting complete bullshit."
"Exactly! An expert once suggested that we rural folks should buy houses in the city and then drive to the countryside to work."
"My God, why do they think that people from the countryside can easily afford houses and cars?"
"What's so special about that? There are even more outrageous things out there."
"There's this so-called cerebral palsy expert who says that when people have no income, they can sell their spare houses and antiques and then drive their private cars to pick up passengers."
"My goodness, people work hard their whole lives and may not even be able to buy a house, so where would they get extras to sell?"
"Also, what's an antique? Could he take a look at it and let me have my eye on it?"
"..."
Soon, thanks to the expert's吐槽 (tu cao, meaning to criticize or roast), the elderly men and women standing in line started chatting happily.
Lin Anshu, who happened to be listening to their conversation, was speechless.
Well, I have to say, the elderly people these days are quite clear-headed.
Not far away, two shifty-eyed men were whispering to each other with their heads down.
"Brother, do you think those old men and women over there might have cash on them?"
"Of course there are! Didn't you see? Of the ten people who paid just now, at least three paid in cash."
"Great, bro, let's go join the queue too, and while we're at it... hehehehe."
"Hmm, I really don't know what's wrong with these people's brains. It doesn't matter where you buy groceries, why do you have to stand in line there?"
"Brother, look at what you're saying. They're not smart enough to stick together. But that's a good thing for us. It makes it easier for us to make our move, hehe."
"Hey, what a load of crap! Look at yourself now, you look like you have brain damage."
"You're not allowed to giggle like that anymore."
"oh."
After they finished talking, they started walking in that direction.
Just as they were about to reach the back of the line, one of them suddenly reached out and poked the other.
"Brother, brother, look! A group of police officers are coming!"
"Where is it? I can't see it."
"Brother, those are the ones. Even though they're dressed casually, I recognized them immediately. The one in the lead, isn't that Director Li? And the one behind him is Wang..."
"King my ass, why aren't you running?"
"oh oh."
The two turned and ran.
This unusual scene immediately caught the attention of the group of police officers who had come to buy groceries.
Three or four tall policemen immediately ran after them.
Then, the two unlucky thieves were pinned to the ground.
After questioning them, it was learned that the two were repeat offenders.
A few days ago, they were also involved in a burglary and robbery.
The reason they are here today is that they plan to take advantage of the opportunity to queue up to buy groceries and steal the wallets of some elderly people.
