Zai Zai Grocery Store

It's Zhang Dazhu.

It was the grandfather who went to the grocery store yesterday to buy groceries worth 100 yuan. Lin Dong recognized him immediately, and with a hint of timidity, he whispered, "Grandpa Zhang."

"Hey! I still remember Grandpa Zhang!" Zhang Dazhu smiled kindly and asked, "What are you doing with the little basket?"

Lin Dong replied, "I pick fungus."

"Are there fungus here?"

"Yes, Xiao Chuan and my aunt said yes."

Lin Dong's earnest appearance amused Zhang Dazhu, and Zhang Dazhu said with a smile: "Well, you can pick some more and give them to Grandpa Zhang, okay?"

Lin Dong nodded seriously.

"You're so good." Zhang Dazhu said kindly: "Then you pay attention to safety, go home early, grandpa has gone for a walk."

"Goodbye, Grandpa Zhang."

Zhang Dazhu left.

Lin Dong followed He Xiaochuan to the trees piled up like a hill, and found the new-born fungus along the wet tree. He felt it was very novel, and he picked it like He Xiaochuan. He picked one and put it in a small basket. Put one flower in a small basket, and picked half of the basket after a while.

At this time, He Xiaochuan began to be distracted, looked around, pointed to the ground after the rain and said, "Lin Dong, look, there is an earthworm!"

Lin Dong took a look and continued picking fungus.

He Xiaochuan said after a while: "Lin Dong, the earthworm has gone into the mud."

Lin Dong: "..."

He Xiaochuan said again: "Lin Dong, look, look quickly, there is a frog over there, and there is a little frog behind it, croak! croak! croak! Oh, I scared them away!"

Lin Dong: "..."

Seeing that Lin Dong had been picking fungus seriously, He Xiaochuan stopped playing and continued picking fungus.

After a while, the small basket was full, and the two children carried the small basket on a branch, but because Lin Dong and He Xiaochuan were slightly different in height, the branch was slanted, and the basket was crooked, and the fungus followed the trend. Just drop down.

He Xiaochuan hurriedly said: "Lin Dong, please raise your head."

Lin Dong raised his little hand with difficulty.

As a result, the fungus in the basket still fell.

He Xiaochuan slapped Lin Dongyang as soon as he lost his temper.

Lin Dong blinked his frightened eyes.

After all, He Xiaochuan didn't hit Lin Dong, and walked ahead angrily carrying a small basket, but he was only a six-year-old child, and he didn't have a good sense of balance, so every two steps he took, two fungus fell off.

Lin Dong quietly picked it up at the back, and when he got to the grocery store, he found only half of the fungus in the small basket, and the remaining half was in Lin Dong's arms. He Xiaochuan was embarrassed and angry for a moment, and then looked at Lin Dong.

Lin Dong walked up to Lin Lihua.

Lin Lihua deliberately gave He Xiaochuan a blank look and praised Lin Dong.

Lin Dong thought about what he promised Zhang Dazhu, and his grandfather said that he must do what he promised others. After hesitating for a while, he plucked up the courage to walk in front of Lin Lihua, and said, "Auntie, can you give some fungus to Grandpa Zhang?"

Lin Lihua asked, "Which Grandpa Zhang?"

Lin Dong pointed to the outside of the store with his small hand: "I bought rice and rice cookers yesterday, and he said just now that I want some."

"Okay, you can send it over there, okay?"

Unexpectedly, her aunt agreed so smoothly. Lin Dong pursed her lips, feeling happy, and handed all the fungus in her arms to Lin Lihua. Lin Lihua took a basin of water from the back of the grocery store and poured all the fungus in the water Washing in the basin, Lin Dong squatted beside and watched, watching the fungus become clean and shiny in Lin Lihua's hands, he was also very happy.

At this moment He Qingzhang came back, Lin Dong and Lin Lihua looked up at the same time.

Seeing He Qingzhang's tired face, Lin Lihua asked, "What's wrong?"

He Qingzhang sat on the small stool next to Lin Dong and did not speak.

Lin Lihua stopped what she was doing and asked, "Did something happen to Mom?"

He Qingzhang nodded: "The illness has been detected."

Lin Lihua asked again: "What disease?"

He Qingzhang had a sad expression on his face: "Tumor."

Lin Lihua was startled.

He Qingzhang said: "It's just benign, but it costs money."

Lin Lihua didn't speak.

Lin Dong didn't dare to speak, and looked at He Qingzhang cautiously.

He Qingzhang was silent for a moment, then looked at Lin Lihua.

Lin Lihua said, "How much did it cost?"

He Qingzhang said a number, not many, but not too many.

"Is it okay to have surgery to cut it off?"

"Ah."

Lin Lihua lowered her head to wash the fungus, and after a while, said: "Then cut it off, what can I do, if you are sick, you have to be cured, don't you think?"

He Qingzhang remained silent.

The only sound in the store was the sound of Lin Lihua washing fungus.

After a while, He Qingzhang felt that the topic was too dull, so he changed the subject and said, "I just saw a lot of people at the door of Zhang Dazhu's house."

Lin Lihua replied: "Yes, they are all playing chess."

He Qingzhang added in passing: "If there are so many people playing chess at our door, the business in our store should be better. There are quite a few people using public phones. After all, we are popular."

Lin Lihua answered with a smile: "You have been playing chess and mahjong there for many years, how could you move to our place? You think too much."

He Qingzhang just smiled.

But Lin Dong heard it, and then looked at Lin Lihua, Lin Lihua had just washed the fungus, and said, "Lin Dong, go grab a convenience bag and put the fungus in for your Grandpa Zhang."

"it is good!"

After installing the fungus, Lin Lihua asked Lin Dong worriedly, "Do you know where Grandpa Zhang's house is?"

Lin Dong nodded: "I know."

"Where?"

"A place where many people play chess."

"Yes, really good." Lin Lihua touched Lin Dong's little head and said, "Go and come back quickly, don't run around, don't fight with the children in the town, you can't beat them, you know?"

Lin Dong nodded.

"Come back soon."

"it is good."

Lin Lihua originally wanted to call He Xiaochuan and Lin Dong to deliver the fungus together, but when she turned her head, He Xiaochuan was nowhere to be found, as if she had gone to play again, so she had to repeatedly ask Lin Dong not to run around and not to be beaten.

After Lin Dong agreed, he walked towards Zhang Dazhu's house with the fungus in his hand. From a distance, he saw a group of people surrounding Zhang Dazhu's house. There were adults and children. The adults were playing chess and watching chess, and the children were playing with sandbags. Playing spinning tops and wooden figures are not allowed to move, including He Xiaochuan.

When He Xiaochuan saw Lin Dong, he shouted loudly, "Lin Dong, come and play."

Lin Dong ignored He Xiaochuan.

He Xiaochuan ran over and said, "Come here, I'll teach you how to play wooden figures."

Lin Dong refused: "I don't play."

"why?"

"I'm looking for Grandpa Zhang, and I'll send fungus to Grandpa Zhang."

He Xiaochuan stretched out his hand to pinch the fungus in the convenience bag and said, "Okay then, after you deliver the fungus, I'll teach you how to play."

Lin Dong nodded.

"Go, I'll wait for you here."

"Ah."

He Xiaochuan was being played with by his friends.

Lin Dong walked timidly into the crowd of adults, looking up at the faces of the adults with his small face raised. There was no Zhang Dazhu in the standing row, so he squeezed in and saw Zhang Dazhu who was playing chess.

He didn't call Zhang Dazhu, but waited until Zhang Dazhu finished playing a game of chess before calling: "Grandpa Zhang."

Zhang Dazhu looked around when he heard the words, and when his eyes fixed on Lin Dong, he laughed instantly: "Xiao Lindong, what are you calling Grandpa?"

Lin Dong raised the convenience bag in his hand and said, "For your fungus."

Zhang Dazhu was taken aback, and when he saw the fungus inside through the transparent convenience bag, his heart suddenly warmed up. He was actually just joking with Lin Dong, and this kid took it seriously, and he really gave him fungus.

This life is happy to the end, but in the end he was moved by a little guy, he asked in disbelief, "For Grandpa Zhang?"

"Ah."

"You picked them all?"

"I picked it with Xiao Chuan, and my aunt washed it."

"Oh, thank you."

Zhang Dazhu was so happy that he didn't know what to do. He dragged Lin Dong to the courtyard, took the fungus in the courtyard, and quickly went to get apples and sugar for Lin Dong. Lin Dong didn't want it, but said, "Grandpa Zhang, can you come?" Do you play chess in front of my aunt's shop?"

"why?"

"Because you played chess in front of my aunt's shop, many people bought my aunt's things."

Zhang Dazhu laughed. This kid is really hearty and filial. He asked, "You want your aunt to earn more money, don't you?"

"Well, if you make more money, my aunt will be happy."

"What a good boy." Zhang Dazhu stroked Lin Dong's soft hair and said, "Then can you play chess?"

"I will."

"You can play chess?" Zhang Dazhu was very surprised.

Lin Dong nodded.

"How did it happen?"

"A horse walks like a sun, like a field. A chariot (jū) walks straight, cannons over mountains, soldiers walk obliquely to protect the general's side, pawns never return, and veterans take care of the back garden."

Lin Dong's voice was crisp and tender, which not only surprised Zhang Dazhu, but also made other people look sideways. It was really unexpected that such a little boy could recite chess formulas.

Zhang Dazhu asked in surprise: "You really know how to play chess?"

Lin Dong nodded: "Yeah."

"Who did you get off with?"

"My grandpa." Everything Lin Dong learned came from Mr. Lin.

"Then play with Grandpa Zhang now, okay?"

"Not now." Lin Dong said.

"why?"

"Because my aunt told me to go back quickly, I have to watch the store sell things."

Zhang Dazhu laughed: "Don't look at the store and don't sell anything, play a game of chess with Grandpa Zhang."

Lin Dong said firmly: "No, I have to go back."

Zhang Dazhu didn't want to play chess in front of Lin Lihua's store at first. After all, he has been playing chess in front of his own house for so long, but he really likes Lin Dong so much, and Lin Dong just doesn't know how good he is at playing chess. But no matter what your current level is, if you know so much now, your future will be limitless.

He immediately said: "Come on, grandpa will take the chessboard to the door of your aunt's shop and play a game with you. If you win, grandpa will play chess at the door of your aunt's shop from now on, okay?"

Lin Dong nodded: "Okay."

"Walk."

Zhang Dazhu dragged Lin Dong towards Lin Lihua's grocery store, followed by a group of onlookers from the town, just walking like this.

He Qingzhang, who was sweeping the road with a broom, was startled when he saw this scene, and hurriedly called Lin Lihua.

Lin Lihua was also shocked when she saw it, what is this for?

Did Lin Dong get into trouble?
