Crossing the Book of Eighty Years: The Sweet Daughter-in-law of a Mountain Man

Chapter 410 It’s better to be my old cousin

Suddenly he ran from the main street into a narrow street.

There were people chatting in the corner, and some children were playing in twos and threes.

Suddenly, at the entrance of the alleyway, someone set up a table and sold ice-cold soda on the roadside.

On the old-fashioned table, there are filled soda bottles on the left, empty bottles on the right, and ice cubes and water in a large basin in the middle.

The frozen soda is fished out of the basin.

Gewei's bicycle creaked and stopped next to the young man selling soda drinks.

“Dude, give me two bottles of Arctic Ocean.”

Arctic Ocean is a famous local soda and can be found everywhere in the streets.

Zhou Junmin was a little thirsty. The iced soda tasted delicious, but this sip reminded him of the lemonade made by Xia Ning.

I smacked my lips and after tasting it, I felt that the food made by Xia Ning tasted better.

Because the food made by Xia Ning was pure and had no strange smell, he actually tasted something like medicine in the soda?

Maybe this is a preservative?

After taking two sips, he lost interest and put the bottle in the basket in front of Gewei.

Ge Wei asked with a strange look on his face: "Isn't it delicious? Let me tell you, this is the most famous soda here, and you can't even drink it in Baixi Town."

Zhou Junmin didn't comment, just snorted from his nose.

He could drink better than this in Baixi Town, but he didn't want to tell Ge Wei.

Gewei took a sip and found that half of the bottle of soda was missing.

Soda bottles can be recycled for two cents back.

He said, "Hey, drink up quickly and give the bottle back to him, and I can get my two cents back."

Zhou Junmin: "!"

Gewei took another sip from a bottle of soda, and it was all gone in two sips.

Ge Wei put the bottle down in the empty box aside and looked at Zhou Junmin again.

Zhou Junmin: "You can continue drinking if you like."

Gewei: "...Aren't you thirsty?"

He looked at Zhou Junmin with a strange expression on his face.

Besides, he doesn’t drink other people’s saliva!

What to drink?

Zhou Junmin: "I have water."

Gewei: "!"

I really want to laugh three times.

Is this a fool who suddenly came from Baixi Town?
He looked at Zhou Junmin with disbelief.

Based on his understanding of Zhou Junmin.

Not stupid.

Could it be that people become stupid after getting sick?

He used to worship Zhou Junmin from head to toe!

This kid has a good mind and is good at reading, unlike him who has poor grades and sits in last place.

Ge Wei waved his hand in front of Zhou Junmin's eyes and asked: "Are you serious, really you don't want to drink?"

He hesitated for a moment and said: "Forget it, forget it, the two cents will not be refunded. You can drink it when you want to drink it."

After returning two cents, Ge Wei continued to ride his bicycle back.

Soon they arrived at the courtyard house they rented.

Since they came to Jingcheng, their business has improved and they recently moved to a larger courtyard house.

The yard is big enough for their family.

As soon as Gewei rushed in, he shouted: "Grandma, grandma, look who is here."

The old lady poked her head out from inside. When she saw Zhou Junmin, her hands were shaking with excitement and said, "Oh, Junmin, grandma's baby, come here quickly and let grandma take a look."

The old lady cried for many nights. She almost thought she would never see her grandson again, but she never thought she could see her again. How wonderful!
Zhou Junmin walked over and called: "Grandma."

The old lady's eyes were moist, and all she could say was: "Okay, okay, okay."

Gewei scratched his hair and said, "Grandma, don't just say hello. The weather is too hot. Let us go into the main room." "Yes, yes, yes." The old lady turned sideways and said: "Come in, come in, come in."

Once inside, Zhou Junmin just put down the snakeskin bag in his hand.

The old lady took out half of the watermelon and placed it directly in front of Zhou Junmin. Then she gave him a spoon and said, "The weather is too hot. Eat some watermelon to relieve the heat."

Ge Wei opened his eyes wide and asked, "Grandma, what about me?"

The old lady glared at him: "You eat it every day, why don't you eat it? Give this to Junmin!"

Ge Wei was a little aggrieved.

I ran to pick someone up on a hot day, but when I came back, my grandma had a grandson and no longer wanted her own grandson!

"Grandma, it will make me sad if you do this."

Ge Wei pursed his lips and looked at the old lady with a sad face.

The old lady didn't care about him, and looked at Zhou Junmin closely with her eyes.

Zhou Junmin pushed the watermelon over: "You can peel it, half for each person."

He was thirsty and a little hungry. He might as well eat some watermelon to relieve the heat.

Ge Wei immediately picked up half of the watermelon and said with a smile: "It's better to be my cousin."

He went to the kitchen holding the watermelon.

The old lady asked Zhou Junmin: "Why are you here alone? Where are the eldest and second brothers? How is your father?"

She was bombarded with questions one after another.

Zhou Junmin responded one by one: "Both the eldest brother and the second brother are fine, and so is my dad..."

Having said this, he opened the snakeskin bag.

Take out the gifts you prepared.

It’s not that he doesn’t understand the ways of the world, it’s just that he really didn’t know what gifts to give before. When he was a child, what to give to his grandmother and uncle was all arranged by his mother, so they didn’t have to worry about it. When he grew up, he just focused on studying. Now, I don’t have to worry about this at all. I just ran over to grandma’s house when I thought of it. Where can I carry things?

Later, he himself fell ill. How could he care about other things when he was worried about his own life?

But Xia Ning reminded her, and with her help in arranging it, everything was in order.

The old lady was very excited when she saw that her grandson actually brought her a gift.

When I picked it up, I saw it was a piece of clothing.

"These are clothes? Are you still buying me clothes?"

The old lady's hands were shaking with joy.

Zhou Junmin said: "It was made by a friend."

Oh my friend?
The old lady glanced at her grandson, nodded, and held the clothes fondly.

This is a Chinese tunic suit, specially made by Xia Ning.

After all, it occupied someone else's place. I heard that Zhou Junmin was coming to see the old lady, so I prepared this gift for Zhou Junmin.

The other gifts were tea, wine and some snacks that Zhou Junmin bought at the supply and marketing cooperative.

"The child has come here since he came here, why did he buy so many things? He spent a lot of money, yes, yes, how did the exam go? Can he come to study here in Jingcheng? It would be great if he could come."

This is what the old lady has been thinking about lately.

She kept thinking that her grandson was in good health and could take the exam, Amitabha!
If only God could open his eyes and let him get into a university here in Jingcheng.

Then she will be able to take care of the child for her daughter.

Zhou Junmin said: "The scores haven't come out yet, so don't worry."

The old lady nodded and said, "No need to worry, no need to worry." As long as you live well, it's better than anything else.

She should stop being greedy.

Ge Wei cut the watermelon, carried it in, and placed it in front of Zhou Junmin.

The old lady said: "Eat, eat quickly."

Zhou Junmin pushed the watermelon in front of the old lady and said, "Grandma, you can eat it too."

The old lady chuckled and said: "Grandma doesn't eat watermelon, but you eat it. You eat it. Watching you eat it makes me happy."

Gewei had already taken a bite of the watermelon, with the watermelon meat in his mouth.

While speaking, he still had a mouthful of watermelon juice in his mouth and said vaguely: "Grandma never eats watermelon. You have forgotten. I think you have become stupid since you recovered from your illness. What a pity."
