Chapter 350 Listen to the chapter, we won’t eat
Su Xing found the candied haws in the glass cabinet quite tempting. Besides, it was not easy for the old man to come out to sell things in such a cold day, so she decided to take care of the old man's business.
She said, "Grandma, give me two skewers."
"Okay!" The old lady responded with a smile, and then asked, "What flavor do you want?"
Su Xing said: "One bunch of hawthorns and one bunch of candied dates."
Hearing this, the old lady moved her feet and reached into the glass cabinet to take the candied haws.
Only then did Su Xing notice that when the old lady moved, her body was uneven and she was actually a lame grandmother.
In the cold winter, on New Year's Day, a lame old man in his 70s or 80s was selling candied haws on the street...
Suddenly, an indescribable emotion surged in Su Xing's heart...
Her mouth was faster than her brain, and she heard herself say, "Grandma, please wrap all these candied haws for me!"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Su Xing was stunned, and then he felt embarrassed.
She didn't regret her behavior, but... what kind of old-fashioned domineering CEO line was this...
The old lady was also stunned when she heard Su Xing's words.
She paused in taking the candied haws, stared at Su Xing for two seconds, and asked, "Daughter, why do you need so many?"
Su Xing tried to make his tone sound more normal, "Take it back and give it to your classmates. There are a lot of classmates in my class..."
She nodded affirmatively as she spoke, trying to make her statement more persuasive.
The old lady laughed, "You're taking care of my business, right?"
Su Xing met the old lady's transparent eyes, and was at a loss for words for a while.
In fact, she really thought it was okay to buy too much. She could freeze some in the refrigerator in He Xu's apartment and eat them slowly, and then take a few skewers back to the dormitory for her roommates to eat, so it wouldn't be wasted.
However, her purpose was indeed to help the old lady, and wanted her to go home early for the holidays.
The old lady said again: "No, no, just buy two skewers and eat them."
After she said this, she swiftly took out two strings of candied haws, put them in a plastic bag, put two pieces of paper in it to cushion her hands, and handed it to Su Xing.
Su Xing said helplessly: "Grandma, please sell me a few more skewers. I'll bring them to my roommates. This isn't enough."
The old lady said, "Are you really bringing it to your classmates? Don't buy too much, it will make things difficult for you."
"Really bring it to classmates, it's not difficult."
The old lady put two more strings of candied haws in the plastic bag and said, "Four strings, that's enough, ten yuan."
Su Xing took the candied haws and handed the old lady a ten-yuan note, and the old lady happily took the money.
Su Xing didn't know why, but he just couldn't move.
She asked the old lady, "Grandma, how old are you this year?"
The old lady smiled and said, "Seventy-six."
Su Xing asked again: "Why are you setting up a stall during the holidays?"
"I've lived to this age, and I've celebrated enough festivals. I don't miss them anymore. Besides, people get more restless when they get old. I have to move more in the last few years of my old age. Otherwise, I'll become stupider and more useless. Even though I may not be very agile, I'm not a real useless person. I won't be a burden to the country and society!"
Su Xing couldn't help but smile as she listened to the old lady's optimistic and open-minded words.
Maybe the old man really enjoys selling candied haws and doesn't need help from others out of sympathy or pity.
Thinking of this, Su Xing planned to say goodbye and leave.
At this moment, there was a sudden "ding" sound in her head, followed by the sound of the system issuing a task!
[Trigger a new task. Please help the old man selling candied haws to sell his goods. Enrich your life experience and taste different life attitudes. You will be rewarded with five days of life value. In addition, if the task is completed perfectly, you will receive a random reward. ]
wake:"……"
What the hell?!
Help the grandmother sell candied haws? ?
Judging by the appearance of this grandma, people may not necessarily need her help!
Moreover, she has to wait for He Xu to come back to celebrate the festival together!
But...can she refuse to do the mission?
Su Xing glanced at the candied haws in the glass cabinet and estimated that there were still about thirty or forty strings left.
If it sells well, it shouldn’t take too long, right?
All right, she accepted the mission...
"Ahem..." Su Xing cleared his throat and looked at the old lady. An expression of embarrassment and confusion flashed across his little face.
The old lady looked up at Su Xing, wondering why this pretty girl didn't leave. Was she still thinking about buying her candied haws?
"Grandma, I...I'll help you sell the candied haws!" Su Xing finally said this.
The old lady's eyes widened, "...what?"
"Grandma, I'll sell candied haws for you!" Su Xing said again.
This time she spoke loudly and clearly.
The old lady looked a little confused, "No need to trouble you, little girl..."
"No trouble."
Su Xing first hung the candied haws he bought on the old lady's cart, then he put his hands to his mouth in a trumpet shape, closed his eyes and shouted, "Candied haws! Sell, sell candied haws!"
The old lady saw that the little girl’s face turned red, she didn’t know if it was because of the cold or shyness, she couldn’t help but laughed.
When Su Xing heard the old man's laughter, her face turned even redder.
But she went for it!
"Tanghulu——! Delicious and inexpensive!"
The girl's voice was clear and pleasant, and even when the volume was raised it was still very penetrating. Some people nearby heard her voice and subconsciously looked over.
A little girl of about six or seven years old looked at the candied haws in the glass cabinet and suddenly couldn't move.
She pulled the woman's hand and shook it, "Mom, I want to eat candied haws!"
The girl's mother said, "It's cold and sweet, and it's bad for your teeth. Be good and don't eat it!"
The little girl twisted her body and refused to leave. "Just one string! Just one string! I haven't eaten any candied haws this year..."
The woman couldn't resist her daughter's coquettishness. "You can only eat half of the skewer. Take the rest back for your dad!"
"Okay!" The little girl smiled happily and pulled her mother over.
"How much are the candied haws?" the woman asked.
Business coming?
Su Xing was very happy and said quickly, "Three yuan a bunch, five yuan for two bunches!"
The old lady next to her had just opened her mouth, but before she could make a sound, Su Xing spoke first.
The little girl pointed at the glass cabinet and said, "I want the orange flavor!"
Su Xing asked: "Little sister, are you going to eat it or take it home?"
The little girl immediately said, "Sister, let me eat it!"
Su Xing took a piece of paper, picked up a string of orange-flavored candied haws and handed it to the little girl.
The girl's mother handed over a five-yuan bill.
Su Xing took the money and handed it to the old lady, "Grandma, this is for you."
The old lady came to her senses, took the money, and gave two one-yuan bills to the girl's mother in change.
The little girl took the candied haws and happily followed her mother.
