Grandma greengrocer

On returning from ping-pong practice, I dropped by a small greengrocer and bought some citrus fruit and sweet potatoes from the granma. It's just a cozy entrance space of her house where she puts vegetables and fruits, which is located on a narrow road along a commercial high school. 

 

I paid 330 yen for three 美生柑, and 200 yen for a pile of さつまいも. 

It's quite reasonable compared to a supermarket in the area.

Though she only has 7 or 8 kinds of groceries, I love visiting there because the woman is so adorable. 

She is a hardworking happy human being. 

I say, "Hi, are you there?" 

Then, she comes out of the room behind the entrance saying, "Welcome!"

We always exchange a few words, like "Oh, these tomatoes look good, but I have a huge luggage. Do you think they will be still here tomorrow? "  "Yeah. And these citrus fruits are so good. You will probably want more of them when you come back tomorrow. 

 

She is a small ordinary grandma. And, so adorable.
