Chapter 318, Good Friends
Grandma He was speechless and glanced at the boss. "Okay, give me two pounds of water bamboo and a head of cabbage." The weather was getting colder, so she could buy some more to keep at home.
"And this pepper, you can tell at first glance that it's not from our area." Grandma He said with a look of disgust.
The vendor was not angry. "Yes, I heard it is a new variety. However, this pepper is not spicy. It is good for making stir-fried peppers. Add some fresh onions and ginger to it, and it will have a different flavor."
He explained the method to the old lady very seriously.
The old lady had never eaten it before. "Then give me a pound to try. But how much is it per pound?" She couldn't be fooled.
"Haha, the old lady is very meticulous. This chili is only 50 cents."
When Grandma He heard this, she thought, well, it’s really not expensive, and it’s not even as good as the local peppers grown at home.
"Okay, give me some onions, ginger and garlic."
After buying the vegetables she wanted, the old lady didn’t stop there. She went to the meat shop and bought a chicken.
I also bought two kilograms of bones.
Xiaoxue likes to eat pork belly, and the old lady is willing to give it to her, starting with five kilograms.
Many people gave the old lady a lot of attention.
It is true that conditions have improved now, but it is still rare to find people who are so lavish.
The old lady was familiar with the entire market and just picked up her vegetable basket and went home.
When they got home, Xiaopeng and his friends started eating. Seeing them sweating profusely, the old lady knew that they had just finished practicing martial arts.
"Xiaopeng and Xiaocheng just finished practicing. Are you tired?" She bought some snacks on the way back.
He put it directly on the table where they were dining and said, "This is the jelly my wife bought for you. You haven't tried it, have you?" He looked like he was taking credit for it.
"Madam, have you eaten it?" Xiaopeng was excited when he saw the yellow jelly.
Xiao Cheng picked one up directly. "Madam, you eat it."
The old lady felt so happy seeing her great-grandson being so filial.
"My wife has already eaten, you guys eat. If it tastes good, we'll buy more later." She also wanted to try the taste, and would buy more if it tasted good.
"Um."
Mei Xue came out of the bathroom and looked at the things on the table, her eyes lit up. "Grandma, what is this?"
She didn't recognize this thing.
"The boss said it's jelly, Xiaoxue, come and try it." When Grandma He saw Meixue looking at the jelly, she immediately became excited.
"The boss said that this thing is very smooth and sweet, and it's a new product. Come, Xiaoxue, let's try it." After saying that, the old lady took one easily.
Seeing this action, I guess he ate a lot on the way back and forth.
Of course Mei Xue was not polite. There were so many things she had never eaten. "Thank you, grandma." She took it and put it directly into her mouth.
With a squeeze, the contents went directly into my mouth.
It’s not too sweet and has a bit of sourness, not bad, not bad.
"It's delicious, grandma, let's buy some more later." Of course, you can't save on delicious food.
Grandma He laughed out loud, "Grandma didn't lie to you, it's delicious, but the boss has other things, we'll go there later."
I didn’t expect that grandma could find so many delicious foods when she went out.
"Well, go ahead."
"Madam, madam, there's me, there's me." Xiaopeng raised his hand.
Xiao Cheng was not far behind, "I, I want to go too, I want to go too."
"Okay, you guys eat first, and we'll all go after you finish eating."
I gradually adapted to life in the city.
It has been four days since we arrived in Mingcheng. Today is Xiaoyu's day off, and Meixue has already prepared to pick up Xiaoyu from school.
"Grandma, don't go. The road is a bit far." Mei Xue said to her grandma with some concern.
"It's okay. How far can the school be? Grandma can still walk. I haven't seen my great-grandson for a long time. How can I not go?"
Grandma He was not willing to do it.
The same went for Xiaopeng and Xiaocheng. After their nap, they changed into their own clothes for going out.
"Mom, we have to go pick up my brother too."
"Okay then, let's go together and give your brother a surprise." Mei Xue quickly agreed.
I looked at the time. It was almost three o'clock. It was time to go to school.
The four of them walked out of the gate hand in hand. After Xiaoxue closed the door, she went to school.
Along the way, Xiaopeng and Xiaocheng stopped when they saw some delicious food for sale.
Mei Xue seemed to have expected this. "Don't buy too much. Buy one for your brother as well."
Grandma He was also a little greedy, but she was embarrassed to snatch the food from the children.
Mei Xue could see it, "Grandma, if you want to eat more, we can buy some more."
"Is this sweet?" The old lady might be a little embarrassed.
"Madam, this is delicious, soft, but a little sticky." Xiao Cheng started eating a long time ago.
"Okay, ma'am, your teeth are in good condition, buy one more." The old lady took out a five-dollar bill.
The white rice candy tastes very sweet and tempting.
We walked and bought along the way, and when we arrived at the school gate, we found that there were more people setting up stalls there.
This time, Mei Xue was no longer calm.
"Grandma, why don't we buy some first? What if they are sold out?" So they forgot about picking up Xiaoyu.
If Xiaoyu didn't have a pair of sharp eyes, he would have missed his mother and wife.
I don’t know how long it took, but Xiaoyu walked out of school. In fact, he really didn’t like weekends because he had to face an empty home alone.
"He Shiyu, why are you walking so slowly?" One of Xiaoyu's classmates ran up to him from behind.
"Oh, it's you. I didn't walk slowly." Xiaoyu was a little depressed.
This classmate is Xiaoyu’s deskmate and also his first friend after coming to this school. His name is Wang Tai. He is a little fat and comes from a well-off family. His nickname is Xiaopang.
My biggest hobby is eating.
He has a very easy-going personality, but can be quite timid at times.
He was on duty today, and he had already finished his duty when He Shiyu arrived at the school gate. Isn't that slow enough?
"Is there no one at home again?" Xiaopang knew his good friend's situation.
Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "I don't know. Dad should be at home, but he comes back very late every day." Xiaoyu did not hide anything from his good friend.
"Why don't you come to my house? My mom has told you several times to come to my house to play, to thank you for helping me with my studies."
Xiaopang said with anticipation that if Xiaoyu went to his house, his mother would definitely prepare delicious food.
By then...
Xiaoyu shook his head, "No, I'd better go home first, get some clothes, and then go live with Uncle Qian." Dad always comes home very late, so it would be better to go to Uncle Qian's place, at least he has older brothers and sisters to talk to.
"Then can I come to see you tomorrow?" Xiaopang loves to go to see Xiaoyu the most, and there are always a lot of delicious food every time he goes.
Xiaoyu glanced at him and said, "Are you sure you are here to find me?" with a look of doubt on his face.
