Eight hundred and sixteenth chapter vegetable market
He picked up Cheng Yi from the station, and Chen Huai drove back to Xiapu.
Cheng Yi lay in front of the car window, looked at the blooming flowers along the road, and asked Chen Huai: "Begonia, the cherry blossoms are blooming in the season, and the colors are very beautiful, but after the autumn begins, what else can I see along the road?"
"Did you see interplanted ginkgo and maple lace?" Chen Huai said.
After Chen Huai reminded me, Cheng Yi noticed that there was a ginkgo tree planted in the landscape forest along the road every ten meters, planted between other trees such as camphor, beech, poplar and other trees.
It is not the season when the leaves are yellow, and ginkgo is a very slow-growing tree species. The saplings born in the past three to five years are very small, sandwiched between other flower trees. Chen Huai doesn’t remind you, so Cheng Yi really can’t see it easily; the maple is even more inconspicuous - Cheng Yi closed her eyes and let her face face face the cool wind, and she could almost imagine the beautiful situation after autumn, where the ginkgo leaves are golden in color and the maple leaves are red in color mixed with lush green.
Cheng Yi turned around and looked at Chen Huai and asked, "I have never seen any place in China that has built such a complex road landscape forest..."
"Of course, I'm not happy to do something that is not complicated or difficult..." Chen Huai said with a smile.
"Is this what you men call romance?" Cheng Yi asked
"..." Chen Huai smiled and asked again, "What do you want to eat for dinner?"
"Do you have time to have dinner with me in the evening?" Cheng Yi asked.
"I have time, I have nothing else to do today. I'll leave it to you. You can do whatever you want." Chen Huai said.
"Go," Cheng Yi glared at Chen Huai coquettishly, holding Xiangyi's smooth cheeks, and said, "I want to eat the food you cook."
"That's true." Chen Huai said, turning into a fork and driving towards the farmers' market.
******************
Over the years, Chengguan Town has only two farmers' markets.
The Chengnan Vegetable Market that Chen Huai drove to is close to Jinghai Highway and not far from Chengnan Community. It was the supporting project that promoted the development of the old city to the south and built the Chengnan Development Zone.
Although Chenhuai has frozen the construction of the Chengguan Town area in the past two years, Chengguan Town, as the central area of the county, has benefited from the sharp economic growth of Xinpu. The more direct impact is that the Chengnan Farmers' Market, built in early 1992, was deserted in the first two years, and has become a bit crowded recently.
The Jinghai Highway expansion project has been in progress for some time. At this time, the Jinghai Highway seemed even more crowded. Fortunately, the county traffic police department listed this area as a key monitoring section. When Chen Huai drove over, there were traffic police on the left and right to maintain order. The situation in the evening was not chaotic.
The road into the farmers' market was narrower and the flow of people was denser. The parking lot was inside, so Chen Huai could only follow the flow of people patiently and move in step by step in the car.
"Luo Rong is in front..." Cheng Yi's sharp eyes saw the little girl from her neighbor's house and pointed it at Chen Huai.
Chen Huai followed Cheng Yi's finger and saw Luo Rong from the crowd.
In cropped pants and exposed her slender calves, Luo Rong tied a ponytail, red lips and white teeth, bright eyes and was parked in front of her. Looking at the vegetable basket hanging on the faucet, she probably came to buy vegetables and cook home.
After the hospital incident, Cheng Yi went to Xiapu twice and also knew about the marriage between Luo Daimin and Ding Xiu and his wife. Luo Rong, a little girl, had a sweet mouth and became quite familiar with Cheng Yi in two or three times.
Chen Huai slowly drove the car forward. Cheng Yi was about to greet Luo Rong, but an old lady didn't know whether it was being squeezed by the person in front of her or what was going on. She took two steps back. Maybe she stepped on Luo Rong's feet. The old lady didn't stand firmly. She sprained her body and fell down and knocked down several bicycles parked beside her.
Chen Huai stopped the car and leaned over to see the old lady falling. When Luo Rong helped the old lady stand up, he and Cheng Yi didn't get off the car. They thought to wait for Luo Rong to come over before greeting her, but unexpectedly, when Luo Rong helped the old lady stand up and turned around and wanted to leave, the old lady shouted loudly: "You knock me down, you want to leave now..." He grabbed Luo Rong and refused to tell her to leave.
Cheng Yi was extremely surprised. She had seen Luo Rong want to say hello, so she could see clearly the scene just now. It was the old lady who stepped back and fell down on Luo Rong's foot. Luo Rong kindly helped the old lady up, but she didn't expect that the old lady would stand up and make a move.
Just when Shen Huai and Cheng Yi were about to get out of the car and go over to talk to the little girl, Luo Rong raised her foot and kicked the old lady, cursing with a sharp mouth: "You are old, you are so old that you can squeeze back, you step on my feet and fall down. I didn't blame you for hurting my feet. I'm so kind of willing to help you up, you can bite me..."
Luo Rong kicked the old lady back two steps, and passers-by couldn't figure it out. She picked up the vegetable basket and walked into the vegetable market. In the blink of an eye, she squeezed into the crowd and disappeared, leaving the old lady screaming in anger on the spot.
Chen Huai and Cheng Yi looked at each other, thinking that this girl would bully the old lady at such a young age, but she didn't expect that she was such a fierce character. Usually, he and Cheng Yi really gave this girl a beautiful face, and her seemingly innocent eyes were blinded.
Chen Huai shook his head and smiled bitterly. He could not see Luo Rong's figure in front of him. Naturally, he and Cheng Yi would not care about the old lady who was so angry that she screamed. They continued to drive in after the abortion, parked the car in the empty venue on the south side, got off the car and went into the vegetable market to buy vegetables.
It was the peak period of the evening shift, and many people squeezed into the vegetable market to buy vegetables and go home to cook dinner. The vegetable market was crowded with people, and Chen Huai and Cheng Yi did not see Luo Rong anymore. They bought meat, eggs and some vegetables, and went to the fruit shop outside the west gate to pick up some water. Then they saw three or five men and five men and women hugged the old lady who had kicked Luo Rong down just now, and walked over here with great momentum. It seemed that they were going to pull Luo Rong out of the vegetable market.
Chen Huai was about to turn around and go back to the vegetable market to find Luo Rong to hide first, but the old lady was sharp-eyed. They first recognized Luo Rong from the crowd and pointed and scolded: "Just like a little bitch wearing yellow clothes..." Before Shen Huai and Cheng Yi reacted, the group of men and women who were walking over with the old lady rushed towards Luo Rong separately.
Seeing the fierce look of this group of people, Chen Huai was afraid that the little girl would suffer a loss, so he handed over the things in his hand to Cheng Yi and followed him to chase him.
A young man dragged Luo Rong over at a tofu stall, and a woman in her early thirties cursed and scolded: "You little bitch, where did you come from? You don't apologize if you knock me down, and you kick me away. You won't teach you a lesson today. You'll still be so good when you grow up!" He walked over and raised his hand and slapped him.
Chen Huai was quick-eyed and grabbed her hand from behind, and stopped and said, "What do you want to do?" Chen Huai did not give them the chance to refute, and pulled the woman away from Luo Rong, shouting fiercely, "You four or five adults, you are going to beat a little girl in the vegetable market. You are too lawless. Where do you think this is?"
The vegetable market was disturbed by a meal just now, and a group of people grabbed a beautiful girl and scolded and beat her. Everyone didn't understand what was going on for a while. At this time, seeing a passerby standing up with a fuss of indignation, she immediately sympathized and turned towards the pitiful girl. Several people stood up to blame the old lady and her group.
The country has always been full of public anger. When the old lady rushed in and arrested people, she was very aggressive, but when she saw the onlookers all looked suspicious and alert to them, her arrogance was not so arrogant and she dared not hit people right now.
However, the old lady was also a top-notch acting master. She immediately sat on the ground, moaned "Oh" and pointed at Luo Rong and cried to everyone: "This girl was riding a bike outside and looking around and knocking me to the ground. I didn't blame her, but I got a headache with my butt. I wanted the girl to call her home to take me to the hospital for a look, but she didn't think about making things difficult for her. It's okay if she went to the hospital for a look. I don't know how her parents taught her, so she kicked me again and slipped into the vegetable market - it's also a blessing that my eldest daughter works in the vegetable market. Otherwise, I, the old lady, didn't care! You judge, was the footprint on my thigh that I was kicking up by myself?"
When the old lady cried, the group of them saw the onlookers hesitating and hesitating. The momentum suddenly rose again. The two men came over and pushed Shen Huai away: "Young man, please reason, should this little beastman teach a lesson? He is so young, and he can't grow up!"
Shen Huai raised his hands and did not have any conflicts with the group of people, but protected Luo Rong behind him and said, "Before the matter is clear, you can stop her from leaving, but you four or five adults want to hit a 14 or 15-year-old girl in the vegetable market. You must consider the consequences clearly!"
"What the hell are you?" A young man pushed Shen Huai and asked clamor.
Shen Huai ignored him and stared at the old lady's eldest daughter. The middle-aged woman was about forty years old and also had a fierce look. It seemed that she had called her to arrest people. As long as she suppressed her arrogance, the matter would not worsen in a short period of time:
"Everyone is from Xiapu, there is no need to make it too ugly. If it is really the girl's fault, she has to call her parents over, right?"
There are two uniforms now, looking like two sheriffs.
Walking in front was a middle-aged man in his forties. He frowned and walked over with an unhappy look on his face and asked, "What's the matter? It's noisy, follow us to the site to deal with it. Don't block here and watch the fun..." He said to the old lady, "You said the little girl hit you on a bicycle. Has anyone seen it? You can find a witness to come over and this matter is easy to deal with, otherwise we can't wrongly accuse the other girl without any complaints."
"I am the witness," the young man who pushed Shen Huai just now stood up and said, "I saw this wild girl hitting Old Lady Zhou by bike. She didn't apologize for hitting someone, and even kicked Old Lady Zhou and ran away."
Faced with this situation, Shen Huai could only pluck his cheeks speechlessly. Now it seems that these two security guards also know the old lady or the old lady's eldest daughter.
