Chapter 158: Selling Winter Melon
It was just him and his grandson, Lu Siyuan, at home. His wife had passed away a few years ago, and his daughter was doing business outside and hadn’t returned for many years. The house was untidy since it had not been cleaned.
He was used to it, so it didn’t usually bother him, but now that Mianmian, a neat and tidy young girl, had come, he feared she might despise the mess, which made him look down on Siyuan.
"No need to tidy up, Grandpa, it’s not in my way," said Mianmian, seeing the elderly grandfather struggling to start cleaning up. She quickly jogged over and helped him sit down.
"How did you come here?" Hearing the noise, Siyuan came out of the kitchen, still wearing an apron fashioned from an old piece of clothing.
Who could have imagined that Siyuan, the very same student who didn’t submit homework at school, and even fought with other students, causing a headache for the teachers, and unanimously labeled a troublemaker by everyone, was such a responsible child at home?
Let alone anyone else, Mianmian was certainly surprised, but she didn’t show it. Being a teenager, he was already self-conscious, and she didn’t want to embarrass Siyuan.
"I have something to discuss with you." She blinked, "About selling things in the city."
"I’m cooking. Come talk in the kitchen," Siyuan turned and went back into the kitchen. He cooked all the time and thought nothing of it, but he felt awkward being seen by Mianmian in this role.
"Grandpa, then I’ll go first," said Mianmian as she greeted Lu Grandpa.
"Go ahead! Go ahead!" It was the first time Grandpa Lu saw Siyuan’s classmate coming over to their house, especially a young girl, and he was delighted, "Siyuan, there are a few eggs in the kitchen, fry some egg pancakes for lunch."
It was only a little past one o’clock, and Grandpa Lu thought Mianmian hadn’t eaten yet. The grandfather and grandson were easy about food, but now that the granddaughter’s classmate was visiting, they had to add a dish.
