Chapter 351 Glorious House
After successfully selling a string of candied haws, Su Xing's selling became smoother.
"Tanghulu! Selling Tanghulu! Sweet Tanghulu!"
Another passerby heard her hawking and turned over.
A middle-aged man pointed at the candied hawthorns in the glass cabinet and asked, "Is this sweet too?"
Su Xing choked, "It should be sweet and sour..."
The man raised an eyebrow, "Should?"
"Wait a moment."
Su Xing reached out and took out a string of hawthorn flavored candied haws from the bag of candied haws he had bought, took a bite of one with a "crunch", chewed it, and swallowed it.
Afterwards, she said to the man, "It's icy, sour and sweet, and the candy is crispy. It's delicious."
Her action stunned the man.
There were also a few passers-by who came over and couldn't help laughing.
The old lady looked at Su Xing and smiled.
After the middle-aged man came to his senses, he said, "Give me two bunches of hawthorns."
Su Xing neatly packed two strings of candied hawthorns in a plastic bag and handed them to the man, "Here, five yuan in total."
The man took out a five-yuan bill from his wallet, put it on the glass cabinet, and turned away.
"Girl, give me a bunch of candied dates."
"I want two bunches, one of hawthorn and one of orange."
Two more passers-by also asked to buy candied haws.
"OK, just a second!"
Su Xing took the goods while the old lady collected the money and gave the change. The two of them cooperated very well.
One of the middle-aged ladies smiled and said, "Auntie, is this your granddaughter? There aren't many young people willing to accompany an old lady to sell things at a stall nowadays."
The old lady's nose felt a little sour. She lowered her eyes and nodded, "Yes..."
She didn't know whether these two words were the first half of the other party's reply or the second half...
After several customers in front of the stall left, Su Xing started selling again.
"Tanghulu! In the new year, have a bunch of Tanghulu, and your life will be as sweet and prosperous as the Tanghulu!"
The old lady wanted to open her mouth and shout, but the sound seemed to be stuck in her throat...
In the end, she let this strange pretty girl help her attract customers.
She is responsible for collecting and making change.
……
He Xu did not stay in the laboratory last night, but went to the old house to visit his grandparents.
However, when he arrived at the old house, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening and the two old people had already gone to bed.
In the morning, the two old people were very happy to see their grandson come back.
He Xu had breakfast with the two old people.
After that, grandma pulled him aside to chat.
"Your lab is pretty busy?"
"The instructor has taken on a new project and is a little busy."
"No matter how busy you are, you must pay more attention to your health, eat well, and sleep well. Nothing is more important than your health..."
"Grandma, I'll pay attention."
He listened patiently to his grandmother's chattering, occasionally responding, and the old lady would continue talking for a long time.
Mr. He was drinking tea while flipping through a military magazine.
In fact, he had been listening with his ears perked up, listening to his old wife and grandson chatting.
At half past nine, He Xu took the time to send a message to Su Xing, telling her that he might be back a little later.
After waiting for a long time, Su Xing still didn't reply to him.
Half past ten.
He Xu said to the two elderly people: "Grandpa, grandma, I have something to do and I will leave first. I will not be back for dinner tonight."
After noon, my second uncle, aunt and other family members who can come back should all come back, and the two old people will have many people to accompany them.
Mrs. He was stunned. "It's a big holiday, are you going to go back to work overtime?"
He Xu was not used to lying to the old man, so he said vaguely: "No, I have some personal matters..."
Old Mrs. He looked at her grandson with strange eyes.
Mr. He also raised his head.
What private matter must be handled during the holidays?
He Xu felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by his grandparents, but he was still trying to stay calm.
Mr. He spoke slowly, "Go."
He Xu responded, put on his coat and went out.
Old Mrs. He looked at her husband and asked, "What do you think Ah Xu is doing during the holidays?..."
Mr. He said: "When the child grows up, there will be more things to worry about. You don't have to worry about it."
He Xu drove back to his apartment on Xueyuan Road.
As soon as he walked in, he knew Su Xing had come.
But now she has disappeared...
He took out his cell phone and dialed Su Xing's number.
The phone rang several times before it was answered.
"Hello?" Along with the girl's clear voice, there was also some sound of wind and noisy voices.
Apparently she was out.
"Where are you?" He Xu asked.
Su Xing said: "I'm in a small market not far from my home..."
When He Xu heard the word "our home", he immediately smiled and said, "Tell me the exact location and I'll come find you."
Su Xing looked around and said the name of the intersection, as well as information about nearby shops.
"wait for me!"
He Xu went out again.
The location of Su Xing Bao was not far away, so he did not drive but walked there.
As soon as he reached the intersection Su Xing mentioned, he heard a familiar voice shouting!
"Tanghulu! Sweet and sour Tanghulu! Auntie, would you like a string of Tanghulu?"
He Xu: "...!"
He stared at the familiar figure for several seconds and confirmed that this was indeed his girlfriend!
The corners of He Xu's mouth twitched.
Although the scene in front of him surprised him a little, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was really something his girl would do...
He stretched out his long legs and walked towards the girl.
"sugar……"
Su Xing was about to shout out his wares again, but his voice got stuck after he finished shouting out one word.
She saw the handsome man walking over and looking at her with a smile.
Her face, which had already become thick, suddenly turned red again...
Su Xing raised a paw and waved at He Xu, laughing awkwardly: "You're here..."
The old lady selling candied haws looked at He Xu and then at Su Xing.
"Xiao Su, is this your boyfriend?" she asked Su Xing.
Su Xing blushed and nodded, "Yes, this is my boyfriend He Xu."
She then said to He Xu, "This is Grandma Qiao."
The old and the young have become familiar with each other now.
He Xu smiled gently at Grandma Qiao: "Hello, Grandma Qiao."
"Very good!" Old Mrs. Qiao nodded and praised: "The young man is very handsome! He is a perfect match for Xiao Su!"
The smile on He Xu's face widened.
Su Xing said, "Please wait for me for a moment, they are almost sold out."
"Good~"
There are less than a dozen strings of candied haws left in the glass cabinet.
Su Xing stopped looking at He Xu. Enduring the embarrassment, he shouted again, "Tanghulu! Delicious and inexpensive Tanghulu!"
"Cough..." He Xu made a fist and put it to his mouth and coughed. Then he tried to shout, "Selling candied haws..."
His words made Su Xing and Old Mrs. Qiao stunned for a moment, and then they both laughed.
He Xu said calmly: "I'll help sell it..."
He actually just wanted to experience how his girlfriend felt when she did these things. Now that he had experienced it, it was quite embarrassing and novel...
With He Xu's joining, this stall has become more attractive.
Previously, many customers were attracted by Su Xing’s good looks. Now that Su Xing and He Xu are standing together, their looks have doubled in lethality!
Some passers-by who originally just wanted to get closer to see the handsome men and beautiful women ended up buying candied haws in a daze...
It wasn't long before the candied haws were sold out.
Old Mrs. Qiao went to the roasted sweet potato stall next door and bought some roasted sweet potatoes, and insisted on giving them to Su Xing and He Xu.
The two couldn't refuse, so they accepted it.
He Xu also noticed Mrs. Qiao's lameness at this time...
"Grandma Qiao, where do you live? Let us take you back home," he said.
"It's not far, no need to see me off." Old Mrs. Qiao waved her hand.
Su Xing said: "Since it's not far, we'll give you a ride."
In the end, Mrs. Qiao agreed to let them send her.
She did live not too far away, in an old neighborhood.
Su Xing and He Xu pushed the cart and took Mrs. Qiao downstairs, and helped her lock the cart in the carport.
"I live on the second floor of this unit. Xiao Su, Xiao He, come up and have a cup of hot water. I'm the only one at home, so you don't have to be embarrassed."
Alone? Su Xing's heart moved.
Su Xing and He Xu looked at each other, did not refuse Mrs. Qiao's invitation, and followed her upstairs.
Old Mrs. Qiao lives at the left door on the second floor.
When she took the key to open the door, Su Xing and He Xu both saw the sign hanging on the door - Home of Glory!
