Chapter 218 217 Grandpa, what are you doing?

A week later, Xu Guowei drove his son to the provincial capital, and there was no one else in the car except the father and son.

As expected, Tang Lingfei and Song Xingye didn't take their car.After all, high school registration is a significant day, and the parents of the two girls do not want to miss this day.

The car drove directly to Xu Zhe's grandparents' house.

Grandpa has already said hello to them and will entertain his grandson with freshly caught fish today.

"I've benefited from you," Xu Guowei said teasingly when he got out of the car. "Your grandpa would never take the initiative to ask me to cook fish for me. When I was a kid, I had to beg for a long time to get your grandpa to arrange more meat dishes." "

Xu Zhe: "The conditions were difficult before, and it was not easy to eat meat."

Xu Guowei: "It's easy to buy fish now, but Grandpa You is so good. If you don't want to buy it, you have to catch it yourself."

Xu Zhe: "This is the fun of fishing."

"So your grandpa values ​​you..." Xu Guowei said this, but his voice suddenly became smaller, as if he had just thought of something and became a little guilty.

Xu Zhe asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Guowei lowered his head and looked at his hands: "Isn't it a little bad that we come to eat at home like this, with empty hands and nothing?"

Xu Zhe: "You are a father and you are 40 years old. Are you asking me?"

Xu Guowei was silent for two seconds, then turned around and said, "Let's go buy some fruit."

Xu Zhe took out his phone and took a look.

Fortunately, they left home very early. There was still an hour or two before lunch time, so it was perfectly late to buy some fruit.

----

Xu Zhe stood in the noisy vegetable market and complained: "Why don't you go to the supermarket?"

At this time, his father was squatting in front of the stall picking peaches. He said without raising his head: "I have been to the nearby supermarket. The fruits are all wrapped and I won't let you pick."

The owner of the fruit stall also smiled and said: "I mean, the quality in the supermarket is not good, but mine is the freshest!"

Xu Zhe was too lazy to discuss with the boss where the fresh fruit was. He just felt a little thirsty.So he asked again: "I'm going to buy some mineral water. Do you want to drink it?"

Xu Guowei: "If you don't want to drink it, just buy your own."

So the young man shook his head, turned around and walked towards the grocery store in the market.

He had some memories of this vegetable market near his grandparents' home in his previous life.At this time, when he set foot here again, the noise and the smell of countless meat and vegetable ingredients in the air gave him an inexplicable sense of nostalgia.

In the future, with the development of large supermarkets and online shopping of fresh food, it will become less and less necessary to go to such wet markets to purchase ingredients.The development of the takeout industry has made more and more people no longer purchase ingredients, and they don’t even need a stove...

Xu Zhe's thoughts were wandering like this, but he didn't expect that an unexpected figure made him stop in shock.

Not far from the non-staple food store, there are shops and stalls selling aquatic products.At this time, an old man with a vicissitudes of life but a stubborn face was standing in front of one of the stalls.

That's his grandfather.

Xu Zhe was very surprised - why did he see his grandfather in the vegetable market?And, why does grandpa seem to be buying fish?

He took another closer look.

The old man was carrying a fishing rod box on his back.That long box is very conspicuous.

In addition to the fishing rod box, there is also a backpack. The items in it are probably fishing equipment, right?

The old man had just paid for the fish and asked the vendor to put the fish into his net bag.Then he reached back and took out a fishhook from the side pocket of his backpack, stretched it into the fish's mouth, and made a small hole.

The fish struggled fiercely, but unfortunately the old man's hands were very strong and it was useless no matter how hard he twisted it.

After tying it, the old man wiped the fishhook with a handkerchief and stuffed the handkerchief and the fishhook back into the side pocket of his backpack.

The vendor on the side smiled and said: "Uncle, you are really putting on a show!" But Xu Zhe stood there, at a loss.

He almost shouted just now.But fortunately, I realized before I opened my mouth that calling me grandpa now would be tantamount to exposing my shortcomings.

Obviously, grandpa didn't catch any fish, so he needed to come here to buy it.Pretending not to see it, pretending not to know, to save grandpa's face is the most filial choice.

But at this moment, the old man turned his head inadvertently and saw his grandson standing in a daze not far away.

"what?"

"Uh……"

As soon as their eyes met, Xu Zhe knew that he was going to show his filial piety.

The next moment, Grandpa's waist became a little bent.The old man, who was originally very energetic, suddenly became sad.

He waved to his grandson to come over.But he turned his head and glanced at the vendors and a few passers-by who were watching the excitement, and walked towards the young man.

The old man walked up to the young man and asked, "Why are you here?"

Xu Zhe: "My dad is here to buy fruit, and I will come with him..."

The old man puffed his beard and glared: "Does this brat think of me as his leader? Just go home and buy some fruit!"

This was said as if it was Xu Guowei's fault, not that he bought the fish and pretended to catch it himself.

Xu Zhe felt that nothing could be said, so he could only smile awkwardly.

The old man cleared his throat and explained solemnly: "I was supposed to go fishing yesterday, but I forgot. I caught a big one there last time, and that's when I called you last week! I was supposed to go fishing today too. If you can catch it, even if you go late, the fish will be lazy and sleep, right?"

Xu Zhe nodded obediently: "Yes."

As for some complaints, he held back and didn't say them out loud, such as - Is it because the fish are sleeping that I can't catch?Did you go there yesterday but didn’t catch any?How many days have you been in the Air Force?
Grandpa said earnestly: "Xiao Zhe, don't tell anyone about today, especially your grandma!"

Xu Zhe nodded: "You can go home. I just went to the vegetable market with my dad and I haven't seen you."

Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but be startled: "Have you never seen me?"

Xu Zhe smiled and said: "Yes, the conversation just now does not exist. I will wait until you go back with the fish, then I will go over with my father. That will be the first time that we meet today."

The old man's eyes slowly widened, and he suddenly gave a thumbs up: "Son, you have a bright future. You have a much brighter future than your father!"

----

After Xu Guowei bought the fruits, he drove Xu Zhe out of the vegetable market.But when he was waiting at the red light, he turned around and found that his son's expression seemed a little strange.

So Xu Guowei asked: "What are you laughing at?"

Xu Zhe smoothed the corners of his mouth: "What? I didn't smile."

Xu Guowei: "Does it make you happy just thinking about being able to eat fish later?"

Xu Zhe: "Well, that's right."

Xu Guowei: "But I remember that you don't seem to like fish very much. Don't you prefer beef and mutton?"

Xu Zhe shook his head: "Eating beef and mutton will make you too angry and prone to nosebleeds. You can eat more fish in the future."

Xu Guowei smiled and said: "That's just right. Your grandfather is becoming more and more fond of fishing now. From now on, you will be responsible for taking care of his trophies!"

Xu Zhe also smiled: "It's really troublesome for grandpa."
