I really don't want to be a teacher

"...Old Cheng, go to the town to sell vegetables..."

"……Yep……"

Turning his gaze, Lian Ge looked at the rear door again.

There were several passengers standing by the door.

on the front side,

With their backs to Lian Ge and the others, stood an old man.

The old man was wearing a somewhat worn-out padded jacket, and a transparent plastic sheet was covered on the padded jacket.

The entire piece of transparent plastic sheeting was torn with a hole in the middle, and the head passed through the torn hole. The entire sheet of transparent plastic sheeting was like a raincoat, and it was draped over the old man, barely covering the upper body.

On the plastic sheet, there are still some condensed water droplets and some wet mud. The trouser legs not covered by the plastic sheet look a little wet, with some wet mud and some weed debris. The whole piece of wet mud extended from the bottom of the trousers to the waist covered by the plastic sheet.

Under the trouser legs and on the feet, it seems that the shoes are also wet, and the wet shoes with some mud are placed next to them, and the old man is barefoot.

On the head that passed through the hole in the plastic sheet, there was also some mud on the hair, which seemed to have been cleaned up briefly, but the dried mud still made the hair on the head a little sticky.

In front of the old man, next to the car door, there were two old bamboo baskets. There were some vegetables neatly arranged in the baskets.

Holding a shoulder pole in one hand and supporting the bamboo basket, the other hand is tightly clutching the handrail by the back door. The old man is standing, his hands and feet seem to be swollen and pale due to the cold

Perhaps because he was worried that the muddy water on the plastic sheeting and trousers on his body would stain the people around him, the old man struggled, shrinking his body even more, giving way, holding the handrail tightly, and under the shaking of the bus when passing potholes from time to time, Getting tighter.

From time to time, the old man turned his head, looked in front of the car, looked out of the car, and then turned back to look at some vegetables neatly arranged in the two baskets. From time to time, some people he knew greeted him, and he responded with a smile.

"...Old Cheng, you are..."

Next to him, a villager he knew looked at the muddy water on the old man's body and couldn't help asking,

"...I fell in the ground, nothing..."

Laughing, the old man responded, then turned his head, looked in front of the car,

"...Why don't you go back and change, it's such a cold day."

"...It's too late for time. I'm wearing thick clothes, so it's wet outside. It's okay, and it's not too cold in the car..."

The old man smiled, responded, turned his head, looked in front of the car again, and moved the vegetable basket in front of him again, shrinking his body even more, to give way to the people next to him.

……

"... Lian Ge, do you want to see that old man again?"

In front of the carriage, he glanced at the old man, Lian Ge paused his gaze,

On the shoulder, the little white mouse looked into the car, and also looked at the old man,

Standing next to him, Gu Xiaoying looked at Lian Ge, then followed Lian Ge's line of sight to look at the old man, and asked aloud.

Glancing again at the old man in a plastic sheet with some muddy water on his body, Lian Ge turned his gaze back, shook his head, and didn't say much.

Gu Xiaoying looked at the old man again, but didn't ask any more questions.

……

"...The town is here, those who go to the street can get off here..."

The car wobbled and headed forward.

Along the way, from time to time, some people got on and off the car. In the car, there were the cries of chickens, ducks and poultry, the joy of children, and the greetings and words of acquaintances. It was noisy and lively.

After driving forward for a while, the bus stopped again, the front and rear doors opened, and the middle-aged woman with the satchel in front of the bus shouted,

Passengers who were sitting or standing walked gradually towards the front and rear doors,

"...Sorry...Sorry..."

Immediately behind the car door, the old man put on the wet shoes again, stretched out his wrinkled and swollen hands that seemed to be frozen, and lifted the two bamboo baskets in front of him again,

While lowering his head, he kept apologizing, and at the same time shrunk his body even more, avoiding the people beside him, holding a shoulder pole, carrying a bamboo basket and walking towards the car,

"...Sorry...Sorry..."

……

"Let's go."

Seeing the old man get out of the car, Lian Ge turned his gaze back, looked at Gu Xiaoying beside him, and said aloud,

Then she took Gu Xiaoying and got out of the car.

……

"...sell oranges, sell apples...fresh apples..."

"...Oranges cost three yuan a catty, three yuan a catty, the price has been reduced, the price has been reduced..."

"...Mom, I want to eat oranges...OK, I'll buy them for you..."

The bus stopped at the intersection of the street, next to the roadside at the entrance of the street, there were some vendors selling fruit, sugarcane and snacks,

Vendors are hawking, greeting passers-by,

Pedestrians are bustling, either passing through the street or walking in the street,

Or some parents with children, or couples shopping, or some old people carrying some dishes,

"...Old Xu, let's go shopping."

"...Come out for a walk, buy some food and go back."

"...Be careful, don't get the oil on your clothes."

"...Well! I see, mom...Mom, you eat too..."

"...Boss, how did you sell this thing?"

"...Eldest sister, let me tell you, mine is definitely the cheapest. You can't find this price anywhere..."

From time to time, some pedestrians either walked into the shops on the street, or stopped in front of the vendors on the street,

From time to time, there is the sound of children pulling their parents to point at something they want. Behind the stall, the sound of vendors hawking and yelling.

The streets are bustling.

"Let's go and buy groceries."

Looking at the bustling street, Lian Ge turned his gaze and smiled slightly, and said to Gu Xiaoying,

"Well, I want to eat..."

"... chee chee, chee chee..."

Breeze blows, mixed with voices,

Lian Ge moved his feet away again and merged into the crowd.

Chapter 748 The Grocery Buyer

"...Well, buy some garlic sprouts, and then buy some meat... Lian Ge, you like to eat twice-cooked pork, so let's fry some twice-cooked pork at night."

"...When your mother-in-law fried twice-cooked pork, I also followed suit. Today I will let you try my chef's cooking skills."

Walking along the streets of the town in the direction of the vegetable market, Gu Xiaoying thought about it, raised her head proudly, and said aloud,

On Lian Ge's shoulders, the little white mouse stood on its forelimbs, turned its head, and looked back and forth on the street.

"Okay, then wait and try the twice-cooked pork fried by Chef Gu."

Looking at Gu Xiaoying, Lian Ge smiled slightly and agreed.

"...Well, then buy some pork belly... buy some ginger, buy some green onions..."

Moving her feet, she walked in the direction of the vegetable market, along the way, Gu Xiaoying continued to calculate.

On the side, on the street, pedestrians are bustling, passing by from time to time,

Gusts of breeze blew past, mixed with the voices of pedestrians on the street.

……

"... Quack... Quack..."

"...Elder Sister, look at my dish...it's expensive, but it's fresh. Do you want this kind of food? Look, if you want this kind of food, let alone ten yuan a catty, I'll sell it to you for five dollars..."

"...Boss, how do you sell green peppers?"

"...Dad, buy dumpling wrappers, mom asked to buy dumpling wrappers..."

In the vegetable market, it is bustling,

Stall owners greeting customers, parents with children, old women haggling with stall owners,

Voices, greetings, and the crowing of chickens and ducks from the poultry buying place not far away were mixed.

……

"...Boss, here's a catty of garlic sprouts."

"……okay."

"...Lian Ge, help me think about what else I need to buy."

Carrying a bag with some vegetables, Lian Ge and Gu Xiaoying walked past the stalls, buying some vegetables.

On the shoulders, the little white mouse whose stomach had been flattened again stood upright with its forelimbs, turned its head, and looked at the stalls selling some vegetables, some meat, or cooked stewed vegetables.

……

"... The garlic sprouts are bought, the meat is ready... What else do you need for fried pork... Seems like it's enough... Mmm! Lian Ge, let's go back."

After buying the food, Gu Xiaoying thought about it all the way, Lian Ge smiled slightly, listening,

"...After I go back, Lian Ge, help me chop the vegetables, and then I will fry...I want to...Stir-fry twice-cooked pork, it seems that the meat is boiled in the pot first, then cut, and then fried...Well, it should be yes……"

"...Then you cook the braised pork, I haven't learned how your mother-in-law cooks the braised pork..."

"it is good."

After talking, Lian Ge and Gu Xiaoying walked out of the vegetable market and walked along the street.

……

"...Lian Ge, do you think two dishes are enough, or, let's buy some more..."

"... Lian Ge?"

Go down the street and go a little further,

Lian Ge stopped again, turned his gaze, and looked not far away, beside the street,

Beside him, holding Lian Ge's arm, Gu Xiaoying, who was talking, saw Lian Ge stop, stopped his voice, turned his gaze, followed Lian Ge's gaze, and looked towards the side of the street.

Along the street, there is a restaurant,

In the restaurant, it was already past meal time, and there were no customers. The owner of the restaurant was wearing an apron, and with the waiters, he was choosing dishes at the counter beside the lobby.

Outside the door of the restaurant, there was a figure standing, carrying a pole with bamboo baskets attached to both ends of the pole. Inside the bamboo baskets were neatly placed vegetables in piles and handfuls.

"...is that old man from before?"

Gu Xiaoying looked at it and couldn't help saying something.

The figure standing by the restaurant was the old vegetable seller who was covered with plastic sheeting and covered in muddy water on the bus.

At this moment, the muddy water had dried up on the plastic sheet that the old man was wearing, and there were still some mud marks on the plastic sheet.

On the clothes, the piece of wet mud on the trouser legs has also dried a little, and the trouser legs covered by the clothes are a little dry.

Gently put down the bamboo basket attached to both ends of the pole, the old man lowered his head again, looked at his appearance, and went straight into the restaurant without going into the restaurant.

Raising his head again and standing on tiptoe, the old man looked into the restaurant,

"... Boss Tao... Boss Tao..."

The old man stepped on his feet and walked into the restaurant. He turned his head and greeted the restaurant owner who was talking to the waiter next to him.

"...Uncle Cheng, you're here."

"...Just come in, what are you doing outside?"
