I really don't want to be a teacher

Turn into the side fork, then follow the road and go forward.

……

Along the road, Lian Ge walked a few more streets.

The noisy noise of the bustling and busy streets in the distance spread nearby, and it has gradually subsided.

Going forward along the road, there are fewer pedestrians passing by on the road, and the road is narrower than before.

On the side of the road, the buildings became a little low and old, and some old communities could be seen.

Walking along the streets, Lian Ge looked at the scene along the way, pedestrians,

Passers-by, or some old people holding folded cloth bags, or couples talking to each other about family affairs.

……

Going forward and crossing a street, there are still some old and low buildings on the side of the road.

There are more pedestrians passing by on the road.

On the side of the road, you can see some restaurants whose plastic sheets on the signboards have faded,

Next to the roadside, you can still see some woven bags with some seasonal vegetables on them, a steelyard next to it, and a vegetable vendor who collects QR codes for money,

"...Grandpa, I want to eat corn..."

"... How much is this corn per catty?"

"...two yuan a catty."

"...That's two yuan a catty, and it was only one yuan and five pounds a while ago..."

"...Hey, I sell it cheaply. You can buy it in the vegetable market in front of you. It's more expensive... This is home-grown corn. You peel it off and check it. It's still fresh. It was pulled from the field in the morning. of."

"...Give me two, and buy them back for my grandson."

It seems to be next to a vegetable market, and pedestrians pass by the roadside from time to time,

Mobile vendors selling some fruits and snacks also parked on the side of the road, hawking some business,

The sound of hawking, bargaining, and the voices of passers-by talking about trivial things are mixed together.

Not as bustling as the previous street, but still lively.

Lian Ge walked along this street, looked again, and then turned his eyes away.

"...Tongtong is here to buy vegetables? Grandpa asked you to come out to buy vegetables again today?"

At this moment, not far from Lian Ge's side, there was another voice of words from a stall selling some vegetables on the ground.

Chapter 967

"sough……"

The sun above the head has just begun to slant to the west, swaying some sunlight downwards,

Some shade is reflected under the trees on the street,

Vendors who set up stalls and sell vegetables set up stalls on the street in the shade of trees, or squatted or sat behind the stalls.

Turning his gaze, Lian Ge looked at the place where the voice came from,

It was also a stall selling some seasonal vegetables in woven bags on the ground beside the street.

At the back of the booth is a 70-[-]-year-old stall owner who looks like an old farmer. He has got up from the low stool he was sitting on behind the booth, and is smiling and greeting the customers who stopped in front of the booth.

And the customer standing in front of the booth was a girl less than ten years old,

With a ponytail, holding a folded cloth bag in his hand.

The clothes he was wearing were washed very clean, but they were a little faded, and he was wearing a pair of old sneakers with cartoon elements on his feet, and the paint pattern was a little cracked.

Standing in front of the booth, with a smile on his face, he seemed to be smiling happily,

"...Hmmm! Grandpa Xu, Grandpa Cheng, Grandpa Qian and the others have other things to do. There is no food at home, so I went out to buy it."

Nodding heavily, the little girl smiled and agreed.

"...Lao Xu and the others are busy with something. They know how to be lazy all day long. Maybe they are hiding somewhere to play chess, and they even asked Tong Tong to come out and buy vegetables."

The stall owner smiled and said something out loud.

The little girl just smiled and laughed, but didn't respond.

"...Tongtong wants to buy some vegetables today, I'll pick the freshest ones for you..."

The stall owner smiled again, squatted down behind the stall, and asked the girl aloud,

"...Well, I want to buy some potatoes."

The little girl squatted down in front of the stall, looked at the vegetables on the stall, turned her head, and said aloud,

"...Okay, I'll pick up two better ones for you, Tongtong."

The stall owner responded with a smile, and picked out some potatoes on the stall. He chose two, picked them up on the weighing pan, and weighed them.

"...Is two enough?"

The stall owner stood up halfway, hunched over, holding a scale, on which were the two potatoes, turned his head with a smile, and asked the little girl again,

"enough!"

The little girl nodded heavily, and then responded crisply.

"...Is there anything else to do?"

"...I want to buy two more corn..."

The stall owner put down the weighing pan, squatted down again, and asked with a smile.

The little girl turned her eyes and looked at the stalls, but couldn't find any corn.

"...Corn, I didn't go to the field today...It's okay, there is corn for sale at your grandpa Qiu's..."

The stall owner looked around, smiled and responded, then stood up from behind the stall, turned his head, and looked at the vegetable stall not far next to him.

"...Lao Qiu, Lao Qiu, do you still have that corn, pick two good ones for Tongtong..."

To the vegetable stall over there, the stall owner shouted.

"...Yes, there are more. Tongtong wants corn, come here Tongtong, Grandpa Qiu will pick you two of the freshest..."

The stall owner over there who had just finished his work turned his head and looked this way. He first responded, and then looked at the little girl in front of the stall.

Smiling, he said to the little girl again.

"Ok!"

The little girl nodded emphatically to the owner of the stall over there, and replied,

In front of the booth here, he stood up again, turned his head back, and looked at the stall owner behind the booth,

"...Grandpa Ai, how much are the potatoes?"

The little girl asked seriously.

"Let me take a look. Two potatoes are about two catties in total. Tongtong will give you two yuan."

The stall owner looked back at the scale, laughed aloud and said,

"...um...here."

The little girl listened, holding the folded cloth bag with one hand, and took out a handful of change from her pocket with the other.

The change was folded neatly, and the little girl carefully counted out two yuan, handed it to the stall owner, and carefully put the rest of the money back into her pocket.

"...Tongtong, open the bag. I'll pick the potatoes into the bag for you."

After receiving the money, the stall owner said with a smile, reached out and picked up two large potatoes on the weighing pan,

The little girl nodded, stretched out her hand to hold it in her hand, opened the folded cloth bag, and held it in both hands.

"……All right."

"...Thank you, Grandpa Ai."

"...Eh, no thanks, no thanks."

Picking up two potatoes into the cloth bag, the cloth bag the little girl was carrying sank, and then changed hands, holding it with one hand by her side.

After thanking the stall owner bluntly, the little girl leaned her body a little further, carrying a bag filled with potatoes, and walked to another vegetable stall not far from the front.

The stall owner behind the stall smiled and watched the little girl walk away, and then sat down behind the stall again.

……

"...the potatoes are ready, and then the corn..."

The little girl was carrying a bag of potatoes and walking towards the vegetable stall not far from the front,

Muttering words in his mouth, he walked past Lian Ge,

Turning his gaze away, Lian Ge glanced at the little girl walking by again, paused his gaze,

Turning his gaze a little further, he looked behind the little girl,

"...Tongtong, come on, the corn has been picked out, grandpa picked the freshest one for you, do you want to buy something else?"

"...Thank you, Grandpa Qiu...I want to buy some string beans..."

"...green beans..."

Walking to the vegetable stall not far from the front, the little girl stood, looking at the stall, buying vegetables.

Not far behind the little girl, stood a figure,

It's an old man, who has been following the little girl not far away, but the two stall owners who passed by the little girl didn't notice the old man's figure.

The old man was about 70 to [-] years old, with a stooped waist, wearing some old long-sleeved clothes on his upper body, long trousers on his lower body, and a pair of cotton shoes on his feet.

Following behind the little girl, the little girl stopped to buy vegetables, and he stood not far behind the little girl,

Looking at the little girl with a gentle smile on her face.

"...Thank you, Grandpa Qiu..."

"...It's okay, it's okay, Tongtong is safe..."

I bought some vegetables at a vegetable stall again, and the little girl took the heavy bag that the stall owner helped to pack the vegetables with both hands, and held it by her side with one hand, and walked along the road. .

The old man who followed also followed.

Glancing at the little girl, and the figure of the old man not far behind the little girl,

Lian Ge paused his gaze, then moved his feet away,

"Let's go."

After saying something aloud, Lian Ge walked along the road, not far behind the little girl and the old man,

Looking at some scenes along the way, and listening to some voices in my ears,

"... This Tongtong is really sensible, sometimes it makes people feel distressed..."

"...Who says it's not...Like my granddaughter, she's about the same age...How can she know anything about food, rice, oil and salt, and she's still fighting for the phone with her mother in the house..."

The little girl passed by the vegetable stall, and several stall owners who were familiar with each other, looked at the little girl who was walking away, talking to each other,

The voice of the words was blowing by the breeze, ringing in Lian Ge's ears,

"... Potatoes, green beans, corn... and the cabbage that Grandpa Xu loves... Well, I bought them all..."

Along the street, little girls buying some vegetables from the vegetable stalls were thinking seriously and muttering in a low voice.

He was holding a cloth bag containing vegetables, first with one hand, then with both hands.

It seemed that after buying the vegetables, the little girl struggled to carry the bag containing the vegetables, and walked forward flickeringly.
