Because there are no buses to the southern suburbs, and considering that a large amount of ingredients may need to be purchased, Yehong had to ask his neighbour, Dong Dong, to borrow their electric tricycle.
Lao Dong is the owner of the Dong barbecue restaurant next door. He always has a smile on his fat and round face, just like Maitreya Buddha.
He drives his tricycle to the market every day to buy goods.
Old Dong had a good temper, and he is friends with Ye Hong’s father, and the two often get together for a drink.
But his wife Xiao Chunlan was quite mean.
Hearing that Ye Hong wanted to borrow a tricycle, the old Dong didn’t even think about it, and agreed directly.
On the contrary, Xiao Chunlan’s face was a little ugly, and she murmured a few words to old Dong: “I have know that people borrow things all day long, and people can borrow a car for a day and charge a little rent.
look at you, just lending it to others for no reason, really a pig head who can’t do business! ”
Although Xiao Chunlan’s voice is small, Ye Hong could still hear it with enhanced hearing.
Ye Hong frowned, and said to old Dong: “Uncle Dong, call a price, i can’t borrow your car in vain.”
Old Dong stared at Xiao Chunlan, and then smiled boldly: “Stinky boy, we have been neighbors for so many years, don’t you understand your uncle Dong temper?
Don’t mention money again.”
Xiao Chunlan didn’t seem to expect Ye Hong to be able to hear her words. she laughed a little awkwardly, but she didn’t dare to say anything.
The little unhappiness in his heart was instantly eliminated by the attitude of old Dong. Ye Hong nodded with a smile: “Thank you uncle Dong .”
Yehong used to drive his grandpa’s tricycle before, so he drove it on the road with ease.
The tricycle may be about the same age as old Dong.
It was rusty and mottled. He was driving it on the road, and it kept making loud noise, as if it might fall apart at any time.
Many passers-by pointed at this dilapidated tricycle and kept making fun of it.
“How long will this be able to run on the road?”
“Little brother, cherish your life!”
“This broken one over there, is it yours?”
Ye Hong really wanted to take a piece of cloth to cover his face.
“Ding! Control electric tricycle, driving ability +1, current progress 110, current level: entry level.”
After spending about twenty minutes, Yehong finally came to the southern suburbs Manyuan Spring Vegetable Market.
“Ding! Continue to operate the electric tricycle, driving ability +1, current progress 810…”
Looking for a place to park the tricycle, Ye Hong started to purchase items on his list.
“The first is glutinous rice…”
Yehong took the list and shuttled back and forth in the noisy vegetable market.
One store after another, big bags and small bags gradually filled up.
“Ding! Carrying heavy objects, weight-bearing ability +1, current progress: 110, current level: entry level.”
“Ding! Hand-held heavy objects, arm strength +1, current progress: 110, current level: entry level.”
At the same time, two figures, one old and one young, have just stepped through the gate of the vegetable market.
The old man wore a precious black trench coat, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face, exuding the temperament of a scholar.
He held a beautiful little girl of about four or five years old in his right hand, wearing a pink skirt, as delicate and cute as a doll.
“Grandpa, the vegetable market is so lively!”
The little girl jumped up and down in excitement.
“Look over here, look over there.”
The old man looked at her and smile: “There are so many people here, you must hold on to Grandpa’s hand, Xian’er, Grandpa doesn’t want our little princess to be abducted by traffickers.”
In the crowd of people, there was a pair of cold eyes, quietly staring at the pair.
