Chapter 6

Saturday morning
Ding Yebai is quite self-disciplined, getting up at one past six o'clock.

It was already bright, he got out of bed, put on his slippers, and opened the curtains.

"drizzle……"

Rainy day as always.

Ding Yebai rubbed his neck and turned around, glanced at the English vocabulary book on the table out of the corner of his eye, and habitually ignored it.

After walking a few steps forward, I suddenly realized something, and my feet stopped involuntarily.

"Recite vocabulary. Recite vocabulary." Ding Yebai turned back again, sat at the desk and found the vocabulary paper given by Yang Zhi.

It was densely packed and filled a page, Ding Yebai got a headache just looking at it.

In the past, I would take a second look to pass the dictation in the morning, but this is the first time that I am reciting the scriptures in a serious way.

"Hey... just memorize it. If it's not Monday, I'm afraid it's really not suitable."

Ding Yebai leaned lazily on the back of the chair with a dull expression, reciting words mechanically.

……

……

……

more than eight o'clock

Ding Yebai went out to a nearby supermarket to buy some bread.

While queuing up to check out, he was still counting the weekend physics papers while muttering.

"Mars and Jupiter orbit the sun in respective elliptical orbits..."

"Auntie, we really don't have any change for you."

Ding Yebai was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the cashier when he heard the sound, and then slowly looked at the old woman in front of him.

Holding a piece of RMB one hundred yuan tightly in his withered hands, he was a little at a loss.

Oh... It seems that the elderly can't scan codes with their smartphones, so they take cash.This scene is often seen in the news and TV dramas, but I didn't expect to let myself meet it today.

"It's not that I don't accept cash. Auntie, why don't you buy something else and make up the whole 40, just to be able to change it... It's really rare that people use cash now."

The mother-in-law looked at the milk in her hand in distress, and was silent for a long time, obviously not wanting to spend any more money.

Alas, folks, frugality is common.

Just like that, the scene froze for a while, and the surrounding noise became quieter.

The mother-in-law and the cashier looked at each other awkwardly, and Ding Yebai watched from behind, feeling that the time was so long.

He stared down at his watch and sighed, took a step forward and said coldly, "I'll pay."

As soon as I finished speaking, I turned on the payment and received the phone.

The young lady at the cash register and the elderly mother-in-law were all stunned.

"Very well then, mother-in-law. He paid for you."

Mother-in-law: "Oh good...thank you young man."

Ding Ye said without changing his expression, "It's okay."

The mother-in-law smiled and went out with two boxes of milk.

Ding Yebai glanced at her, and then put the bread he bought on the cash register.

The lady at the cash register stared at him for three seconds with ulterior motives.

He looks so cold, but what he does is a warm-hearted thing.

Moreover, he is quite handsome.

She said silently in her heart.

……

After Ding Yebai settled the bill and came out, he met the old woman again.

"Young man." The mother-in-law took the initiative to stop Ding Yebai.

Ding Yebai just wanted to open the umbrella, but put it away silently: "Grandma... what's wrong?"

"Our house is just ahead, just around the corner. I must return this 14.4 to you. Can you please come with me?"

"No need. It's only ten yuan."

"No, more than ten yuan is still money. It must be paid back."

"..."

"Oh, I must give it back to you. And I made some snacks at home, they are delicious, I will give them to you to try."

Ding Yebai looked at her mother-in-law's expectant eyes, but couldn't bear to refuse: "...All right."

Anyway, it's on the way, so let's go.

The mother-in-law smiled naively.

The charitable and beautiful smile is such a lovely old man.

Ding Yebai sighed helplessly, and opened the umbrella: "Grandma, let me open the umbrella for you, it's not convenient for you to carry things."

The mother-in-law was a little surprised, she was about to open the umbrella, but when she heard what Ding Yebai said, she had no choice but to put the umbrella away: "Thank you, young man."

Ding Yebai covered his mother-in-law under the umbrella, and deliberately tilted the umbrella towards her. After walking all the way down to her mother-in-law's house, his shoulder on the other side was a little wet from the rain.

The mother-in-law's house is also a courtyard, with wooden carvings on the railings and hollowed-out windows, elegant and exquisite.

Ding Yebai stood on the porch watching the rain, waiting patiently for his mother-in-law.

clap la la...

"Boy."

"Ok?"

Ding Yebai watched as her mother-in-law came out with money and a box of pastries.

"I originally wanted my granddaughter to pay with your mobile phone, but she's in the bathroom, so I don't want to disturb her. I'm stupid, and I don't know how to use a smartphone. I'm afraid you won't be able to wait for something, so I brought cash. .Young man, don't be disgusted..."

Ding Ye was stunned.

Mother-in-law: "If you don't want to accept cash, I'll call my granddaughter out."

Grandma has a bit of an accent,

That [叫] sounds the same as [交] at first glance.

Ding Yebai narrowed his eyes in confusion, and said slowly, "No need. Cash is money, why do people despise money?"

When he was about to take the money, footsteps came from the back room.

"Grandma, I'm here."

Ding Yebai was too familiar with this crisp and pleasant voice.

He had thought it would be her, but only for a moment.

It wouldn't be so coincidental.

Jinghuai is not a small place, is it?

for a while
Still watching Yang Zhi walk over helplessly.

Wearing thin-rimmed silver glasses, long and smooth black hair, and a white short sleeve that reaches to the thigh.The clean and pure beauty of water hibiscus is eye-catching.

She is a female college student with a leisurely holiday.

So, it was Yang Zhi's sister's grandma who helped me.

Yang Zhi: "Huh? Ding Yebai?"

Ding Yebai straightened his body, and said politely, "Sister Yang Zhi."

Grandma: "You guys know each other."

Yang Zhi: "Grandma, she is Ding Yuerong's younger brother. I just tutor him."

Grandma looked at Ding Yebai again, and the joy in her eyes suddenly increased several times: "So you are Ding Yuerong's younger brother! Are you 18 years old this year?"

Ding Yebai: "Yes."

Grandma: "That's great, that's great. Sure enough, you two are good children. The Ding family is really good."

Ding Yebai didn't pay much attention to his grandmother's evaluation of him, but actually glanced at Yang Zhi, and then looked away naturally.

I usually wear formal clothes to class.

In private, I wear casual clothes.It's rare to see her wearing glasses.

Temperament... as always, literary and fresh.

Grandma smiled and took Yang Zhi's arm lightly, pointing to Ding Yebai: "Transfer 14.4 to others. I don't know how to scan codes in supermarkets, and this Yebai paid for me."

After hearing this, Yang Zhi opened her eyes in surprise, then turned on the phone, and smiled softly at Ding Yebai: "Thank you."

Ding Yebai: "It's fine."

He just wanted to leave after collecting the money, but was stopped by his grandma: "You can take this box of bean paste cakes. Thank you."

Ding Yebai took it with both hands, nodded slightly, and smiled rarely: "Thank you. Then I'll go."

Grandma: "OK."

Ding Yebai glanced at Yang Zhi again, and said very politely, "Goodbye."

Yang Zhi Wan smiled: "Well, see you on Monday."

"Oh, by the way, remember to memorize the vocabulary, I'm going to test you on Monday."

"……I see."

……

After Ding Yebai left, grandma sat back on the rocking chair.

There are always two wooden rocking chairs under the corridor. Yang Zhi and grandma often sit here to listen to the rain and watch the snow.

Yang Zhi: "Grandma, what kind of milk are you going to buy early in the morning?"

Grandma: "Hey, don't you and Qiqi like to drink this brand of milk? When I was preparing for breakfast today, I found that I just finished drinking it. I originally planned to buy a box, but when I saw it there, it was sold out. Single There are only two bottles left, and people usually have change, but today they are gone..."

She paused, recalling Ding Yebai, her smile became more gentle: "Fortunately, I met a good boy. He looks so cool, but he is actually a warm-hearted person."

Yang Zhi smiled, closed her eyes to listen to the rain, swayed on the rocking chair, swayed, swayed~
After a while, he opened his mouth and said lightly, "Yes."

The voice is neither loud nor low, and it blends into the sound of Xiaoxiao rain.
