Chapter 146 The Old Man by the Small River Hopes and Hopes 4K(2/2)
Maybe the old people actually know it, but they think that there is no atmosphere comparable to home.
It's a pity that today's young people like to go to movie theaters and high-end restaurants when dating.
"Okay, I understand, grandma." Natsume Naoki agreed with a smile. Since Grandma Muto said so, let's take Asai here for a walk another day when she has nothing to do.
When he moved here in his freshman year, he was not familiar with the place. Grandma Muto helped him a lot. Just the number of times she came to buy things without charging him once made Natsume Naoki feel embarrassed to come here again.
But he also knew that grandma did this because she lacked someone to talk to, and she could never escape the loneliness in her later years.
So when she meets customers she likes, grandma always refuses to charge her and wants them to come more.
As a result, only Natsume became a regular customer, and the others only felt complacent about taking advantage.
If the benefits I received disappeared, I guess grandma would be sad, right?
"Thank you, Natsume, for coming to help me clean up after school," Grandma Muto said with a smile, "I am no longer useful when I am old. If you didn't help me for a while, I would have been busy for a long time!"
Grandma Muto is really good at talking, Naoki Natsume thought to herself. If she praises herself so much, she will probably open her mouth to give something away, right?
Just like before, the excuses are endless, but the purpose is the same.
"Look, what do you want to eat?" Sure enough, Grandma Muto thumped her waist and walked to the small freezer. She opened the glass cover and muttered: "How about a popsicle? These expensive ones can't be sold. I have diabetes.
I can’t eat cold food anymore when I’m old, can you help me and eat two sticks?”
"No, grandma, I didn't eat in the morning. Eating popsicles on an empty stomach will give me a stomachache."
"Hey, how can you not have breakfast?"
It was broken, Natsume Naoki was heartbroken.
My mind didn't turn around and I said the wrong thing.
So he quickly changed the subject before Grandma Muto spoke: "What, Asai recently got a cat, but she doesn't seem to be very good at raising it. I remember grandma, you have several cats at home, right? Do you have any?
Cat food for sale?”
Grandma Muto became interested as soon as she heard about raising a cat, not to mention that it was the little girl Asai who raised a cat.
She knows best what kind of psychological comfort small animals can bring to people. It would be great if Natsume and the little girl could become friends because of raising cats.
"I've raised three of them! There's no one to talk to at home. If I don't raise something, the old lady will die of suffocation."
As Grandma Muto spoke, she took out half a bag of cat food from the back room, which she estimated to be almost a pound.
"I'll give you these cat food. My three kittens like to eat it very much!"
"That's not okay, grandma. You always get things for nothing. I'll be embarrassed to come next time."
"Then just give me two coins. It feels uncomfortable to have the extra money hanging around on your body, so just throw it here, old lady."
Natsume Naoki dug into his pocket. He didn't bring much today, only a few coins as change. He thought about it, and secretly put the only ten thousand yen bill under the books at the cashier at the door when Grandma Muto wasn't paying attention.
.
"Then grandma, I'm going back first!" Naoki Natsume walked out the door holding half a pound of exquisite cat food and shouted into the room: "Next time I will bring Asai to see you!"
Grandma Muto sent him out and waved him away. When she returned to the store, she found the banknotes and coins.
"This child..." Grandma Muto looked at the money, and a warm current flowed through her heart.
"More sensible than my nephew...it's been a long time since I got a call..."
I look forward to Natsume's arrival every day, but after he arrives, I feel even more lonely.
Grandma Muto looked at the shop, sighed, and put away the banknotes, saving them for the next time he brought Asai, cook a sumptuous meal for the two of them, and buy some big fish and meat to entertain them.
If I couldn't see those two people walking together, I wouldn't be able to close my eyes!
Sitting in the shop and looking at the same scenery as before, Grandma Muto felt that it was not as reassuring as before.
Fumbling with her cell phone, she hesitated for a long time and decided to make a long-distance call.
This long-distance call will go across the ocean to another country.
"beep……"
The phone rang for a long time and finally got through.
"Hello, I'm grandma."
Grandma Muto's more reserved voice echoed in the shop. Her rickety body was hidden in the shop, as if a child who had done something wrong was calling her parents, "Are you doing well over there?"
Natsume Naoki held the cat food in his arms, took out the key and opened the door of his house. As soon as he walked in, he saw a black shadow swooping from one end of the living room to the other.
Because his line of sight was blocked from the entrance, he could only see a shadow that seemed to be passing by.
But you should have guessed what it was.
"What's going on?" He changed his shoes and came to the living room. He looked at the girl in the cage and said, "You came out just now, right?"
Meizhu clearly saw that it was Naoki Natsume, and there was no sign of anyone following her, so she breathed a sigh of relief and opened the cage again by herself.
"Meow!"
"You said you thought Asai was back?" Natsume Naoki suddenly felt something was wrong: "What do you mean by that look in your eyes? It's like it doesn't matter if I'm the one who came back."
"Meow!"
"Because I'm a good person?"
Natsume Naoki frowned: "It's okay to be issued a good person card today, but why was a good person card given to me by a cat?"
Seeing this, if you haven’t been to your grandparents’ house for a long time, give them a call during the day!
