Sutton's Burdened Heart Chapter 83

After the National Day, Zhang Caihong felt that business was getting harder and harder. There are still people coming and going in front of the Provincial Museum Square, but fewer and fewer people are willing to stop at the cold drink stall. In the past, it was possible to sell out after purchasing three times a day. 

This has never happened again after the National Day. It is considered good to be able to sell out after purchasing once a day. Slowly, the few old men and women who had been sticking here began to withdraw their stalls one after another. Now, only the old lady who once shook hands with Premier Zhou is still standing in front of the Provincial Museum Square, fighting side by side with Zhang Caihong.

Looking at the crowds of people coming and going in front of her, Zhang Caihong was worried from the bottom of her heart. She wished she could stop someone and ask them: "Buy a sorbet!" The most expensive one is only one yuan! Anxious, Zhang Caihong looked at the cardboard that she had never taken away from her hand, but now it was still being used as a fan. She also understood in her heart: the weather was getting colder, and she should find another job. Done.

The sun had already reached the rooftops of the buildings to the west. Zhang Caihong propped her elbows on her earthen freezer and stared at the flow of people coming and going in front of her in a daze. A short, thin old man with silver hair slowly walked to the red freezer and stopped. 

Caihong felt encouraged when she saw the buyer coming. She stood up straight and asked with a smile: "Uncle, do you want to buy ice cream? How many do you want?" The old man did not answer, but stood there steadily. He gently smoothed the meticulous white silver hair on his head with his hand, with a kind, kind and slightly reserved smile on his face. Zhang Caihong felt a faint air of elegance blowing against her face, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of awe in her heart. She looked at the inconspicuous little old man in front of her with an expression of reverence and awe.
