Chapter 677: Old Man in Black
This was the first time in Lu Sheng’s years of life that she knew that people with good looks could be given discounts.
“Thank you, Auntie. Give me ten pounds.”
“Ten pounds? Okay!”
The auntie hurriedly took out some items and packed them. She weighed ten pounds and pa.s.sed them to Lu Sheng. “Eighty.”
“Here you go!”
Lu Sheng took out a hundred and pa.s.sed it to her. The auntie smiled and received it, finding twenty for her as change.
“Can you finish all these quail eggs?”
After walking out of the market, Chu Sihan raised his eyebrows and asked.
Lu Sheng said, “If we can’t finish them today, we can still eat them tomorrow. They won’t go bad from this weather.”
The main reason was that she was in a good mood after being praised today.
She had just placed the ingredients in the car boot when an old man in black suddenly walked over.
Holding his walking stick and a bag of apples, the old man slowly approached.
Lu Sheng, who had just opened the door and was about to sit in, suddenly stopped when she saw the black figure behind the old man.
At this moment, Chu Sihan, who was on the other side of the car, was already sitting in the front pa.s.senger seat.
“Young people, wait!”
The old man rubbed his head and walked in front of Lu Sheng. “I don’t know what happened here. It hurts. Can you help call my son to come and fetch me?”
“Of course!”
Lu Sheng glanced at the black figure not far away and asked the old man with a smile, “Do you remember your son’s phone number?”
“Yes, yes!” The old man nodded and hurriedly recited a string of numbers.
Lu Sheng took out her phone and called the number the old man recited.
However, the customer service voice came from the other side. “The number you’re calling is not in use. Please verify it before calling.”
Lu Sheng was stunned. She hurriedly asked the old man, “Grandpa, the number is not in use. Did you remember wrongly?”
“Impossible!” The old man shook his head. “I remember this correctly. This is the number.”
“134*****”
Lu Sheng recited the number and asked, “Is this it?”
“Yes, that’s right!” The old man frowned. “This is my son’s number. How can it be not in use?”
“What’s wrong?”
Chu Sihan alighted and walked around to ask.
Lu Sheng glanced not far away. Chu Sihan sensed her gaze and hurriedly looked over.
When he saw the black figure, he frowned.
He said to the old man, “How about this, Grandpa? Where do you live? We’ll send you back. What do you think?”
“Where do you live?”
The old man fell into a daze and did not speak for a while. He only frowned, seemingly trying his best to think of his home address.
“Father, why are you here?”
At this moment, a young woman walked over with a five-year-old child.
When the woman saw Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan, she said apologetically, “Sorry. I was picking fruits for him just now. He disappeared after buying them.”
The woman held the child’s hand with one hand and a bag of dragonfruits and ingredients with the other.
“Grandpa!”
“Xiao Qing is here?”
When the old man saw the child, his frown disappeared and a bright smile appeared on his face.
“It’s good that you’re here!” Lu Sheng smiled and said, “Grandpa told me to call his son just now. In the end, it was a number not in use. We wanted him to share his address, but he doesn’t seem to know either.”
“Sigh—” The woman sighed faintly. “My brother was a fireman. He pa.s.sed away when trying to put out a fire a year ago. His number had already been canceled. My father didn’t want to face the fact that my brother had pa.s.sed away. He thought about him day and night and became less intelligent.”
“I see!”
Lu Sheng nodded. “Then, bring him back quickly.”
“Thank you!”
After thanking the duo, the woman held the old man’s hand and left with the child.
