They were silent all the way. Lin Jingbei remembered what his grandmother asked him to buy and pushed Lin Lu to the vegetable market.
This was the first time that everyone had seen a wheelchair, and it was even the first time that someone had come to buy groceries in a wheelchair.
As soon as Lin Lu appeared, he attracted everyone's attention.
"Hey, girl, what's wrong with your leg?" The older sister selling pork asked enthusiastically.
Lin Lu casually said something to get by: "I accidentally fell down."
The elder sister said: "This is your wheelchair, right? I think I saw it in the hospital. I heard it's not cheap."
The guy selling pork nearby said: "It's not cheap. My wife broke her leg last time and we just couldn't afford to rent one."
Lin Lu: "I can't help it. The doctor said the fall was pretty serious and it would be easier to move around if I sit down. Big sister, how much are you selling this pork for?"
The elder sister glanced at Lin Lu and said with a smile: "Two dollars and fifty cents. This is the one we raised at home and was killed this morning. It's very fresh. Two pounds?" As she said that, she quickly cut off a piece.
Lin Lu didn't really understand any of this and looked at Lin Jingbei.
Although Li Xianglian is the one who basically does the shopping and cooking at home, sometimes when there are guests at home or she doesn't have time, she will ask Lin Jingbei to come and run errands.
He is much more experienced than Lin Lu in such trivial matters.
"I'm sorry, our family can't afford pork that costs 2.5 yuan." Lin Jingbei said bluntly.
He turned around and came to the pork stall where he often bought pork. "Auntie, please cut me three pounds of pork."
The older woman in front also realized that she might have run into an expert, so she hurriedly said, "Come back, girl, I think we get along pretty well. I'll take a step back and ask for two dollars and thirty cents."
Lin Lu spread his hands: "Sorry, we don't like to take advantage of others."
What the mother and son said was equally humiliating. The eldest sister's face fell, and just as she was about to curse, the eldest brother next to her spoke first, "Mr. Zhang, I think you want to rob us. Only you dare to shout out the unscrupulous price of two dollars and fifty cents."
The elder sister was already upset because she had missed a customer, and when the elder brother next to her teased her like that, she immediately started swearing.
Thus, the battle in the vegetable market was about to break out.
Men and women are the same, each one's curse words are more unbearable to hear than the other.
Lin Jingbei bought three pounds of pork from the opposite side at the regular customer price of 2.2 yuan, then ran over with the things and pushed Lin Lu away.
The moment he heard the quarrel behind him, he panicked, worried that this person had joined in. If someone laid a finger on her, he would be crippled by his own father when he got home.
He patted his chest and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Passing by a soy sauce shop, he went in and bought two bags of soy sauce. When he came out, he saw Lin Lu in front of a tofu stall.
She bought two pieces of tofu, and after paying, Lin Jingbei reached out to take the tofu.
"Lin Jingbei!"
Hearing the voice, Lin Jingbei looked up and found that the person calling him was a classmate.
To be exact, it was his talkative deskmate.
He responded coldly, "Yeah."
The girl was very enthusiastic. She let go of her mother's hand and ran over. Regardless of Lin Jingbei's indifference, she smiled brightly and said, "You like to eat their tofu too. I like it too."
The woman behind her frowned, walked over with an elegant and calm pace, and looked up and down at Lin Lu and her son several times.
"Yingjiao, is this the Lin Jingbei you were talking about?"
Huang Yingjiao nodded: "Yes, Mom, you don't know, his grades are very good."
Huang's mother curled her lips and said, "What's the point of having good grades in junior high school? There was even a student in our class who got into Kyoto University. That's what a true academic master is."
Um……
Lin Lu thought: In the whole town, or even in the whole Maolin County, it seemed that she was the only one who was admitted to Kyoto University in all these years.
So, the real academic master she was talking about was herself?
Huang Yingjiao, with a look of innocence, retorted, "Mom, although your classmate is very good, my deskmate is also very good. I believe he will be admitted to Beijing University in the future."
Then he looked at Lin Jingbei earnestly and said, "Classmate, you can do it, right?"
Lin Jingbei was speechless.
When he was in school, he felt that this person was always going crazy, but he didn't expect that she would be even more crazy outside. Moreover, it seemed that she had inherited her mother's disease.
"Excuse me, please move aside."
Huang Yingjiao stood still and bowed to Lin Lu, "Excuse me, Auntie, you are Lin Jingbei's mother, right? Hello, I am Huang Yingjiao, Lin Jingbei's deskmate, and this is my mother."
Huang's mother became even more angry when she saw Lin Jingbei's indifference towards her daughter. "You are just too kind, child. You treat everyone as your friend."
Her arrogant attitude reminded Lin Lu of someone, her high school deskmate, a young lady from a very wealthy family.
"Are you Cheng Yun?"
Cheng Yun paused as she was about to continue her lecture. "Who are you? Do you know me?"
After something happened at home, she married and moved to this small town from the county town. Logically, no one here should know her.
Lin Lu: "I should be the real top student who got into Kyoto University that you mentioned."
Oh no.
Cheng Yun's pupils were as big as copper bells. "Are you Lin Lu?"
"Didn't they say you became the living dead?"
"Why are you different from before?"
Although Lin Lu was pretty before, she often wore two long braids, which Cheng Yun, who was already wearing a Western dress at the time, thought was really rustic. Moreover, she was more well-proportioned back then, with all the necessary features, unlike now, when she is as thin as a bamboo pole.
Lin Lu: "You are not the same as before."
Cheng Yun was suspicious: "Are you really Lin Lu? When did you wake up?"
"About half a month." Lin Lu replied calmly.
Cheng Yun: "Isn't this kid your son?"
Not only do the mother and son have the same expression, but their grades are also so outstanding. However, her daughter is also a poor student like her.
Lin Lu nodded: "Yes, come to my house when you have time."
In short, no matter what she thought before, she was still very nice to Lin Lu, and even wanted to introduce her brother who was a soldier to Lin Lu.
Cheng Yun choked and after a long while, she said, "I won't go. Just take care of your son and don't let him disturb my daughter's studies. Jiaojiao, let's go home."
Huang Yingjiao became even more excited.
My mom and Lin Jingbei's mom are classmates!
She almost jumped up with excitement, "Lin Jingbei, we are so destined. Since my mother and aunt are classmates, you can't ignore me when I talk to you in the future."
Lin Lu shrugged, and in the face of Cheng Yun's embarrassed look that made her want to slap her daughter to death, she said, "Your daughter is just like you were back then."
Before Lin Jingbei could answer, Huang Yingjiao was pulled away by her mother.
The aunt who bought tofu: “…”
What a crazy woman.
