Chapter 72 (1/2)
Early in the morning, Gu Anbao got up early to water the vegetable field in the yard.
As soon as I went downstairs, I saw Mr. Chen dressed neatly. Gu Anbao looked at the wall clock in surprise and thought that the old man got up early today.
Mr. Chen was wearing a white short sleeve shirt and grey cotton and hemp trousers. He was about to put a straw hat on his head.
Gu Anbao couldn't help but ask, ”grandfather, are you going out?”
Mr. Chen nodded triumphantly, ”I've made an appointment with some old guys to go to the flower, bird, fish and insect market.”
”Is it too early to go now?” Gu Anbao looked at the time. It was just after six o'clock
”No, not early. We'll take the bus. When we get there, it's almost nine o'clock.”
”By bus?” Gu Anbao opened his eyes wide and felt incredible. Where the old man wants to go, he can call Chen Yuheng and ask Chen Yuheng to send a car to pick him up. Why should he take a bus?
Mr. Chen glared at Gu Anbao and taught her: ”it's good to have a bus. You young people can't bear any hardships. When I was your age, ah, where was the bus? We are all in bullock carts! Have you ever been in a bullock cart? Well, sometimes you don't have to ride in a bullock cart! All on one foot! After a year, I don't know how many pairs of shoes are worn out... ”
Gu Anbao bowed his head and thought: I am a robot, I am not afraid of hardship I'm afraid your body can't bear
”Go to the backyard to pick two watermelons and take them to Yuheng on the way to the city.” Old man Chen ordered her.
Gu Anbao some reaction does not come over, by the way? Are you sure you're on your way, Grandpa?
”Forget it. I'll go with you.” Mr. Chen gave her a look of disgust, ”let you pick it, you don't know which sweet...”
Gu Anbao could not help but reply: ”grandfather, you said that all our watermelons are sweet?”
Mr. Chen choked. A moment later, he slapped Gu Anbao on the back and yelled at her: ”Stinky girl! Who told you to talk back! Go and pick the watermelon
Gu Anbao died speechless
According to Mr. Chen's account, Gu Anbao picked two big dark green watermelons, and then found two cloth mouth bags to put them in, one in his hand. Fortunately, she is a robot with great strength, otherwise A watermelon alone is heavy enough.
Mr. Chen took out a large string of zongzi from the refrigerator and said in a garrulous voice: ”Stinky boy, I don't even come to see me on the Dragon Boat Festival, but I still remember to leave zongzi for him I have no conscience... ”
Turning to see Gu Anbao carrying watermelon into the house, waved to her, ”go to the kitchen and get some tea eggs, and eat them on the bus later.”
Gu Anbao looked around and nodded, ”OK, I'll get it. Grandfather, don't forget to take the medicine.”
”I know, I know. It's the same sentence every day, don't you bother?”
Gu Anbao mumbled as he walked: ”that's because you always don't take medicine. I'll repeat this sentence...”
Mr. Chen: ”ah Talk back again?! Stinky girl, she's got fat, isn't she
……
An old and a young, carrying watermelon, zongzi and tea eggs, on the bus.
Mr. Chen brushes his old age card and can ride for free. He laughs at Gu Anbao.
Gu Anbao:
Grandfather is so naive.
Gu Anbao quietly took out the change that Aunt Xu had prepared for her, put a few coins into the slot, and then found a relatively empty place to stand on the railing.
Seeing Gu Anbao's thin arms and legs and carrying two heavy watermelons, the aunt stood up and said, ”come on, little girl, sit here with me.”
Gu Anbao was stunned and quickly waved his hand, ”thank you, I don't need to...”
