Chapter 185 - I Want To Run Away

Yuan Bai knew what was going his grandfather's head and immediately interjected " yes , yes , the price is reasonable! Compared to those greedy shopkeepers who are taking advantage of the situation and have raised the money of one metre of rice to two or three taels , they are selling their vegetables around twenty to thirty? copper coins !" Yuan Bai was afraid that his grandfather wouldn't understand the severity of the situation and hastily? added " their vegetables are tender and juicy , and other than them no one else is selling such green vegetables currently , give me some money grandfather , I will bring some for our family to eat !"
Yuan Bai was afraid that all the vegetables in the stall will be sold out if he didn't hurry up . Given the popularity of the green vegetables and the current situation , there would be nothing left ! Even though he told the sister at the stall to keep some vegetables for him , he was just a child and didn't give her any advance money -who will take his words seriously ? He was so anxious to rush back that he was hopping on his tiny feet , as if his butt was scorched .
When Yuan Jinze saw that his grandson was acting so anxiously , he was immediately amused " Bai , are those vegetables really that good , that they made you so anxious ? I haven't even checked them out and you are just a child what do you know ?"
Yuan Bai rolled his eyes , he knew that the only reason his grandfather was talking like this was because he too wanted to join in the fun ! His grandfather wanted to go out and check those vegetables by himself before he buy them . Though Yuan Bai called his grandfather stingy in his head , he still didn't show it on his face and played along " so what should we do ? Let the crowd finish up the vegetables stock ?"
Yuan Jinze peered out of his carriage and sure enough the stall that was selling vegetables was just as busy as it was before . Actually , Headmaster Yuan was also bored after eating pickled radish an carrots for? a month . Their neighbouring village was struck by a snow storm last month thus , the farmers who sowed their vegetables seeds earlier suffered heavy losses . Learning from the misery of their fellow farmers , Dong Tong villagers didn't sow their vegetables seeds either - everyone wanted to make quick money but they were afraid to take risk . Only a few villagers dared to try their luck but their vegetables seeds were frozen before they could grow , it was clear that even though the price of the vegetables were set high - the stall owner knew how to keep it within a reasonable range .𝘧𝗿𝚎e𝓌𝗲𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝗲𝒍. c𝐨𝗺
Unlike those profiters who raised the prices of grains the second they got wind of the upcoming threat . Pei !
Yuan Jinze was just as anxious as his grandson , he too didn't want those tender and juicy vegetables to be sold out . So , he too climbed out of their carriage and walked forward towards Su Wan 's stall .
Su Wan who was so busy that she was going back and forth like a headless chicken caught a glimpse of the young boy who just came to their stall earlier , squeezing in the crowd with an old man who despite his commoner's clothing couldn't hide his distinct aura . She didn't know why but facing this old man , she had an urge to stand up straight and clean her sweaty face .
This feeling - it was quite similar to the feeling she had when , her mathematics teacher Teacher Ke, used to enter the classroom with her class's? monthly test papers .
Su Wan easily noticed that both the little boy and the old scholarly gentleman were people who wasn't used to the hustle and bustle of the crowd and were used to living their life comfortably . She immediately worked hard to pack the pre ordered vegetables so that the crowd would get thin , once there were only one or two customers , she politely smiled at the little boy with a straight posture " Here ,I kept a catty each of vegetables for you . As you asked me to "
Su Wan took out the vegetables that she had earlier kept aside and placed it in front of the stall near the little boy and his grandfather . Though , she wasn't someone who kept reservers aside - Su Wan had earlier noticed that the little boy 's clothing was a lot elegant than the other customers who came to buy vegetables from them . So , she wasn't worried about being scammed by the little boy - who looked a bit too honest .
Yuan Jinze glanced at the vegetables in front of him and swallowed his saliva . In winters when the crops weren't ripe yet , it was easy to prepare meat dishes but the vegetables dishes were really tricky to get .
Yuan Jinze was a picky eater thus after eating meat for more than a month , he couldn't take those greasy , oily dishes anymore . He wanted juicy vegetables , tender chives and bok choy because he was craving dumplings .
As a result , the entire group of servants? of Yuan family was mobilised to bring back green vegetables . But even after roaming every nook? and cranny , the Yuan family servants returned in disgrace - in the end Yuan Jinze hum Selina decided to go around and search for his beloved vegetables ! Look ! Didn't he find it ? And he find a catty of each ! It clearly means that their family servants didn't try hard !
( Yuan family servants : We swear we are wronged !)
Yuan Bai caught his grandfather 's proud ' look I did it ' expression once again stopped himself from rolling his eyes . Honestly , why was his grandfather so proud ? Wasn't it him who had to squeeze inside the crowd and see what they were selling ? Forget it , he will just thank the good sister for keeping some vegetables aside for them ,if not they wouldn't be able to buy some for themselves . Those baskets that were half full when he squeezed in first were almost completely empty
( Yuan Jinze , The grandfather : I saw it first brat )
But before Yuan Bai could thank Su Wan , he saw that his disappointing grandfather had actually thrown away his dignified elegance and his reserved air has long vanished . Their were tears in his eyes as his cradled the green vegetables in his arms like they were his baby - All of a sudden the young Yuan Bai suffered a blow , this tenderness , this gentleness - where was it when he was a baby ? If he wasn't wrong his grandfather had always been strict towards him ever since he was a child , if he committed a mistake , his grandfather scolded him until the moon rose and the sun set . That strict grandfather was actually babying these tender vegetables ?
Yuan Bai "…" I want to run away from home .
