Chapter 20 Mother's Suitor

"From the age of 50 to the age of [-]. You, don't think about helping the family. You should listen to your family Guo Zhi and take care of these young ones." Yao Yong's mother knew that grandma would ask this question, and quickly persuaded her grandmother.People in the same village more or less know about grandma's house.The third younger sister of her family is married well, so she gave her brother and sister a hand, and even gave her and Guo Zhi their daughter. You can tell what it means at a glance. "Are you going to take a few little ones to take advantage of the market?"

"Yes, Xiaoxiao is ready to go to school. I'll take them to buy some stationery." Grandma heard the voice of Yao Yong's mother's voice, and smiled.

"Then go to my Yao Yong's Xinhua Bookstore. He has been thinking that he and your third sister are old classmates. The third sister didn't give a gift when she got married. Now it's just right." Yao Yong's mother heard what his son said. . "Come on, let's go together. Go and call Guo Dong and Guo Liang out."

Grandma had no choice but to give me to Yao Yong's mother. Anyway, there is only one bookstore for her son in the whole town, so I just need to give back the money.After all, people are also in business.

"Smile, you can call me Grandma Yao, I am of the same generation as your grandma." Grandma Yao has only one child, Yao Yong. It's just a good friend. When I heard that she got married, she didn't speak for half a year.She kept telling herself that she was worried that her husband would treat her badly, that she wouldn't get along with her husband's family, and that life would be difficult.Fortunately, he was relieved when he heard that she was doing well now.

"Yes, Grandma Yao." I lay in her fat arms, smelling the faint smell of Shanghai medicinal soap, and I liked it very much.

"Grandma Yao is good." Grandma dragged two cousins ​​out of the crowd, and the two cousins ​​immediately greeted Grandma Yao when they saw her.

"How are you guys?" Granny Yao took fifty cents out of her pocket and gave it to her eldest cousin, "I bought candy for you." The price at this time was that one cent could buy two candies, and so did the biscuits.

"Grandma Yao, we've grown up, we don't need to eat sugar anymore." Although the eldest cousin is very greedy for the 'Tang Monk Meat' (a kind of black sour plum) on the street, even Xiaoxiao doesn't take the pocket money given by the elders at such a young age Money, of course I can't lose to her.

"Take it, school will start then, take your younger siblings to buy water to drink." Grandma Yao pretended to be angry and stuffed the money into the big cousin's pocket.

"Grandma..." The eldest cousin looked at the money in his pocket a little at a loss, so he had to look at his grandma.

"Then take it, thank you Grandma Yao." Grandma was also embarrassed to shirk away from Yao Yong's mother at the bridgehead where people came and went, thinking about sending her some eggs tonight.

"Thank you, Grandma Yao." The eldest cousin covered his trouser pocket happily. After all, he was still a child, so he was happy when he had pocket money.

Yao Yong's Xinhua Bookstore is just opposite the back of the town primary school, in the center of the street. We cross the bridge to the end of the street, and we have to go up.Today is Daxu, one week is Xiaoxu, and two weeks is Daxu.There are generally no people in Xiaoxu, but the whole town of Daxu, and neighboring towns will also come to take advantage of the fair.There are both buying and selling.There is a vegetable market at the end of the street, and all kinds of daily necessities are sold on the street and in the middle of the street.

Grandma Yao carried me into the bookstore. The bookstore is an old mud house with a big door, the kind that can only be locked with a copper lock when two wooden doors are pulled together.The bookstore feels like a warehouse as soon as you enter the door. It's not that it is not ventilated, but the structure of the house is very dark, and the lights are turned on during the day.You have to tell the boss what book you want to buy, and he will get it for you.Counters surrounded by cement feel heavy.Now there are several people gathered around the counter to buy books.

Grandma Yao carried me into the back of the counter, pointed to the books on the bookshelf and explained to me. "Xiaoxiao, these are the four great classics of our country, as well as various fairy tales." Then he opened the bookshelf, took out a book with illustrations and stories about Calabash Doll, and showed it to me.

I was not very interested. I stared absent-mindedly at the beginner's English on another bookshelf, and subconsciously wanted to buy it back for self-study.

Yao Yong saw his mother coming in with a little girl in her arms at a glance, her bright and clear big eyes shone with agility, making people ignore her delicate and small facial features.The most important thing is that I can find the shadow of another person who is deeply in my heart from her face.

"Yao Yong, I want these books." A middle-aged man said to Yao Yong after looking forward to several popular science books on agriculture.

"Well, okay." Yao Yong retracted Piaoyuan's thoughts, calculated the price at the back of the book, and tied it with a rope.

"Yao Yong, this is Xiaoxiao, the daughter of the third sister of the Guo family. She is very cute and cute. Her grandmother said she didn't want to buy clothes for her, but her grandmother asked me to bring her here first, and come later." Grandma Yao Seeing that my son was done, he hugged me over.

"Uncle Yao, hello. I'm smiling." I stared curiously at Yao Yong in front of me, a trace of tears flashed in his eyes, what's wrong with this uncle?However, he looks great!It's the type I like. It's slender and tall, about [-] centimeters. It also has a delicate face with profound features.It doesn't look like a businessman at all.

"Xiaoxiao, hello. Can you read?" Yao Yong took the little man from his mother, is it three years old?Very thin!

"Yes, grandma, grandparents, parents, uncles, aunts, uncles, and cousins ​​all taught me." I found a comfortable position in his arms and sat down, counting my fingers and saying.

"Oh? So many people teach Xiaoxiao? Then Xiaoxiao must know a lot of characters. Uncle has a lot of books here. Which one do you want to read? You can ask for it." Yao Yong became interested, and a three-year-old child should know Counting and memorizing the Three Character Classic, right?
"Uncle, I want to buy that beginner's English." I said, pointing to the book I saw just now.

"Xiaoxiao, do you know those words?" Yao Yong looked along my fingers in surprise, can he recognize these five words at the age of three?
"Yes, uncle, can you show me?" I looked up at him expectantly. "I'll be careful not to break it."
