Chapter 111 - Uncle Zong turned around and started running madly. (3)
As such, the elderly Uncle Zong followed behind Wen Rugui stealthily like a thief.
Wen Rugui ran most of the way and only stopped when he could finally saw Tong Xuelu from afar.He put on a very nonchalant look as he slowly walked over to her.His voice was nonchalant and not giving away any of his emotions. “Hi, Comrade Tong.”Tong Xuelu curved her red lips and smiled at him brightly. “Hi, Comrade Wen.”Wen Rugui glanced past her seductive red mole under her eye and his eyelashes quivered once. “I thought Comrade Tong said that you will not be here until the afternoon. How come you came so much earlier?”Tong Xuelu looked into his eyes and said, “Because I couldn’t wait to see you, of course!”“……”Wen Rugui lost count of how many times his eyelashes quivered.Quivering with his eyelashes was his heart inside his left chest.THROB! THROB! THROB! It was throbbing in his chest.The sun casting down on him and the entire tips of his ears were red.Uncle Zong, some 5 meters away, poked his head out from behind a large tree. When he saw Tong Xuelu standing next to Wen Rugui, his face, base of his ears, and his neck all turned beet red.He was so excited that both of his hands were shaking. Young Grass! Young Grass was here! He must go and tell the Commander!Uncle Zong turned around and started running madly.Uncle Zong ran so hard that one could almost see his after image.He thought he would die from it.When he saw Old Mr. Wen at the front of the house, he didn’t even take the time to straighten his breath before he heaved and said, “Commander, it is Young, Young……”“Aye, Xiao Zhong, you are not a spring chick anymore. You have got to be more careful. What happened to make you run like this?”Lao Jiang, next door to them, who was squatting down loosening up the soil for his mulberry tree, looked up and chimed in.On the other hand, Old Mr. Wen’s eyes widened when he heard the word “Young”.He had been very sensitive to this phrase recently. To a point that he would immediately think of “Grass” when he heard the word “Young”. His eyes rolled and he knew immediately what Uncle Zong was about to say.He quickly interrupted Uncle Zong, “I had Xiao Zong went look for some young grass for me. He must have found it and was so excited that he could even talk straight.”“……”Old Jiang looked at Old Mr. Wen, then over at Uncle Zong. He felt very speechless.“C’mon, Lao Wen, there are so many plants you can grow, why would you want to grow grass? And to fill your whole house with them. What’s so good about grass?”Old Mr. Wen snorted through his nose and said, “They are nice and green. That’s not something that someone as uncultured as you will understand.”Having said that, he waved for Uncle Zong to follow him into the house.After they had walked inside the house, Old Mr. Wen was no longer as calm as he was earlier. He asked anxiously, “Hurry up and tell me, were you going to say Young Grass?”Uncle Zong had already caught his breath and nodded repeatedly. “Yes, Miss Young Grass is here! She is talking to Rugui at the front entrance!”Old Mr. Wen was so excited that he was shaking. “You sure you see it clearly? It is for certain the same girl we saw last time?”Uncle Zong nodded like someone who was smashing up garlic. “Commander, I am old, but my eyes are fine. I saw clearly with both eyes that she was the girl from before. She was carrying a lot of stuff in her hands. I just am not sure whether they were for Rugui.”Old Mr. Wen gave him a contemptuous look. “Didn’t you say your sight is going last time? Now you are able to see clearly?”Uncle Zong, “……”Old Mr. Wen was not in the mood to banter with him right now. His eyes were so bright that they could be flashlights. “I knew something was up with that brat. He was home before it was the holidays and he got up early this morning to bathe and wash his hair. It was like……” he wanted to appear attractive!
