Chapter 257
Chapter 257
At the entrance of Dahaojia supermarket chain, there was a long queue early in the morning. Looking at it with such vigor, it looked like they could get free eggs.
But unlike getting eggs in supermarkets, there are more young people in the queue this time.
The doors of the supermarket opened on time, and the crowds swarmed in, all of them headed straight for the fresh fruit area.
When they saw a new box of exquisitely packaged strawberries exuding a strong fruity aroma on the sales counter dedicated to Gu's fruit, they all put them in the shopping cart without even looking at the price.
The shelves that were originally filled to the brim soon became empty, and the result was that there were too many monks and too little porridge.
In other places, the salesperson in the supermarket is relaxed, but in this area, the salesperson had to shout at the top of his voice: "Please line up, and each person is limited to one piece. It is useless to take more, and the cashier will not sell them."
Immediately, someone yelled: "How can you be so rich that you don't sell it? What do you do with one copy? It's not enough for me to eat."
But the salesperson has obviously experienced wind and rain, and still shouted: "We can't help it, the quantity is limited, first come, first served, and you can only buy one."
Customers come and go, leaving only an empty sales counter.
After a while, a person hurried over, grabbed the salesperson and asked, "Where are the strawberries that you agreed on, are they still on the shelves?"
The salesperson said helplessly, "Beauty, I'm sorry, today's strawberries are sold out."
"What, it's only been 10 minutes since the door opened, how could it be sold out?"
"It sold out in five minutes."
The woman couldn't buy the strawberry she was thinking of, so she had to go out dejectedly. When she got to the cash register and saw those people holding strawberry packaging boxes, her eyes turned red with envy.
Suddenly, she found that there were actually two boxes of strawberries in a car: "Beauty, each person is limited to one box of strawberries. Did you take too much, or you don't have to put this box back, just give it to me."
As he said that, he reached out to take it, but who knew he was held down.
"Who is your sister? This belongs to my brother."
A child ran by, looked at most 12 years old, and hugged the strawberry box tightly. The siblings looked at her as if they were looking at a thief.
The woman who returned in vain returned home, opened the door, and there was a sound of footsteps.
"Mom, did you buy me strawberries?"
The woman smiled and took out the strawberries: "Baby, Gu's strawberries are sold out, but Mom bought imported strawberries at a high price. Would you like to taste the sweetness?"
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the little girl held her mouth and began to cry: "I don't want to import strawberries, I want Gu's strawberries. The imported ones are neither sweet nor tasty nor fragrant."
The woman had no choice but to coax: "I'm sorry baby, mom went too late today and didn't buy anything. I promise to go early tomorrow, okay?"
"No, no, no, obviously you promised me."
The woman was at a loss and coaxed: "Yes, yes, it's my mother's fault. I promise to buy it for you next time."
"You said you would buy it for me if I scored [-]% in the exam, but it still didn't work."
"It's not that I don't want to buy it, it's that it's too popular and I can't buy it."
The woman said with a bitter face, not only did her daughter want to eat it, but she also wanted to eat it. The strawberries in the old Gu’s family are so delicious and the price is not expensive. Now, except for the owner of the Dahao’s supermarket whose surname is Gu, they can get the supply and buy them outside. less than.
I heard that because the Gujia fruit is rich in nutrition, good in taste and stable in quality, almost all of them are rounded.
In recent years, Dahaojia has been able to insist on purchasing goods, and it is really good news for the common people to share a part of Gujia fruits and sell them in supermarkets at relatively favorable prices.
Since it is the gospel, naturally not everyone can enjoy it.
The little child couldn't understand why the mother agreed, but couldn't do it, crying and shouting: "Mom lied, I got [-] points in the test."
The woman had no choice but to promise: "Baby, is this good? Mommy will get up early tomorrow and go to the queue. I will definitely buy you the strawberries you want. If you still can't buy them, then, then..."
"What should I do?"
"Then mom will ask for leave. Let's take the train to Xiyuan Town and go directly to Shanghe Village to pick it up by ourselves."
When the child heard this, his eyes lit up.
But it is a pity that sometimes the promises of adults are usually impossible to keep.
Being a mother is not only responsible for housework, but also has to take care of her daughter, but her husband is on a business trip and can't help at all, not to mention adding to the chaos, and the company is also urging her to go back to do the report.
So this time can only be delayed again and again.
Lu Bao, who was only eight years old, was heartbroken. After sending her mother out that day, she dug out her small backpack and stuffed the pocket money she had saved into it.
Stepping on a stool, he filled his small water glass with water, then took the rice balls prepared by his two mothers, and Lu Bao, who was wearing a little genius watch, set off.
Probably little Lu Bao was too calm, every time she pretended to follow the adults and was treated as his child, it actually made her come to Xiyuan Town smoothly all the way.
"Uncle, I'm going to Shanghe Village." Lu Bao stopped the taxi.
The driver asked strangely: "Little friend, why are you alone, where are your parents?"
"Mom and Dad sent me here, and let me go to grandpa by car."
The driver said helplessly: "Your family is too relieved, what if you encounter bad people?"
But in the end let her get in the car.
Lu Bao hugged his small schoolbag and water glass, and looked out the window curiously. The taxi left the county town and entered the countryside, and the surrounding scenery suddenly became beautiful.
Suddenly, a horse ran out from the path. The horse was white and handsome, like a prince of the forest.
Lu Bao opened his mouth wide in surprise, and she saw clearly the person on the horse.
"Master stop, this is my grandpa."
The driver braked and asked in surprise, "This is your grandfather?"
He didn't know anyone else, but this was a big celebrity in Xiyuan Town. The driver opened the window and shouted, "Boss Gu, your granddaughter is here to see you."
"Shut up!"
Gu Mingdong held the horse, feeling a little surprised in his heart. After all, he has many grandchildren, but every time they come back, they will greet him.
Taking a closer look, the little girl who got out of the car with the little yellow duck backpack was very strange, and he didn't recognize her at all.
"I put it here for you, let's go." The driver drove away.
Gu Mingdong got off his horse, squatted down and asked, "Little girl, what's your name?"
"Grandpa, my name is Lu Bao." Lu Bao tilted his head to look at him.
"Grandpa Gu, you look so young."
Gu Mingdong laughed: "You came here alone, where is the head of the family?"
"Mom and Dad are too busy, so I came alone." Lu Bao said.
Gu Mingdong looked at her watch: "Kids can't run around alone, call your mother first."
Lu Bao was a little reluctant.
Gu Mingdong deliberately threatened with a cold face: "What if I am a bad person, then you will never see your parents for the rest of your life."
Lu Bao pouted and said, "Grandpa Gu is not a bad person. Grandpa and grandma said that Grandpa Gu is the best person in the world."
"Who are your grandparents?" Gu Mingdong asked doubtfully.
Lu Bao raised his head and said, "My grandfather's name is Yan Hai, and my grandmother's name is Heimei. My grandfather said that they used to be from Xiyuan Town, and my grandfather also said that he knew Grandpa Gu."
Gu Mingdong was startled: "You are Yan Hai's granddaughter."
After Yan Hai left Shanghe Village and settled in Shanghai, he occasionally came back to meet them these years, but as he got older, he came back less often.
Especially Heimei, who is in poor health and has to live in a nursing home these years, making it even more difficult for her to leave.
Yan Hai does have three adopted daughters, and Gu Mingdong has met them a few times.
Looking down at the little girl with a steamed bun face, Gu Mingdong really couldn't recognize her, but judging by her age, she should be the infant daughter back then.
Then he asked, "Then what are you doing here, are you looking for your grandfather?"
Lu Bao shook his head and took out his wallet: "Grandpa Gu, can I buy a box of strawberries?"
"strawberry?"
"Yeah, your strawberries are delicious. Our whole family likes to eat them." Thinking of the taste, Lu Bao licked the corner of his mouth, "Grandma also likes to eat. She is in poor health and can't eat anymore. , but you can eat a big bowl with strawberries.”
Gu Mingdong naturally knows how popular the Gu family's fruit is. Every year when the fruit is ripe, wholesalers who want to buy it will fight.
Xie Nanshan opened a chain supermarket and lived in Gu's house every day for a period of time. He wanted his brother-in-law to buy more mountains and plant a few more trees so that they would not be enough to sell.
The subtle effects of supernatural powers are manifested on the fruit trees, which taste better and produce more. Gu Mingdong observes carefully. If they are eaten for a long time, they will also have more benefits to the human body.
In the past two years, there was an eventful Internet celebrity who originally wanted to crack down on Gu's fruit and used their fruit to test the nutritional value.
It would be good to wait for the results to come out, the fruits that had to be robbed originally depended on luck now.
Hearing this, Gu Mingdong couldn't help but smiled and touched the child's hair: "Well, then grandpa will take you to the mountain, and you pick it yourself, pick whichever one you like, and then give it to your grandma to eat. okay?"
"Really, Grandpa Gu, you are so kind, you are the nicest person in the world."
Gu Mingdong, who got the good person card, said again: "But before that, you have to call your parents and tell your parents where you are, and then let them come and pick you up."
With a bitter face, Lu Bao still made a phone call.
Mother Lu was naturally terrified, and immediately said that she would ask for leave immediately to pick him up. After all, although his parents knew Gu Mingdong, it happened many years ago, so how could she rest assured.
Lu Bao hung up the phone, but happily asked: "Grandpa Gu, can I go pick strawberries now?"
Gu Mingdong smiled, stretched out his arms to pick up the little girl and put him on the horse's back, and turned himself on the horse: "Let's go."
"Wow, I can ride a horse."
Crisp laughter fell on the road.
Soon Lu Bao knew that the Gu family not only had strawberries, but also many fruits that she had never eaten or seen before. Looking at the orchards all over the mountains and plains, the little girl drooled shamefully.
