Chapter 129 Bringing the Horse Widow Back to the Village
"Dad, sister." Zhang Guoquan greeted him one by one.
Yang Yulan nodded and said casually: "Here you come."
Zhang Guoquan suddenly remembered something and hurriedly took out a stack of money from his pocket. It was enough that his father sold the food and borrowed it from his two brothers' houses. His father didn't want to owe anyone.
Zhang Guoquan handed the money to Old Monster Yang: "Dad, this is the money my father asked me to return to you. My father asked me to tell you, thank you for giving him money to see a doctor last time."
Old Monster Yang didn't reach out to pick it up, but just glanced at it: "Ha, why is your father rich? It's not enough to sell the food. I think this money is probably dirty money. It's your Zhang Guoquan who reported it for the merits. People will reward you."
"I don't want dirty money, I'll have nightmares if I spend it." Old Monster Yang narrowed his eyes.
Zhang Guoquan stretched out his hand in disappointment. He had already thought of this situation.
This is why he hesitated before coming. Even if other villagers are difficult to speak, Zhang Guoquan has the perseverance. I believe that everyone will sign this for the sake of building the people, which is nothing more than just a little more talk.
But Old Yang is different. Will he sign this for Yang Jianmin?
In theory, he would, but because Zhang Guoquan asked him to sign, he would choose not to sign.
This is very difficult to deal with, it is even more troublesome than the irritable Aunt Wang.
Bai Ge said to him: "Dad, no one rewards money. Even if there is one, Guoquan will not ask for this money."
The money was enough for my father to sell the grain and borrow some of it.
Why did it become dirty money in my father's eyes? It was just that Guoquan was disobedient and unwilling to be merciless, so he always had prejudice against him.
Bai Ge was a little angry, so he simply didn't explain, and said directly: "Dad, we came for Brother Jianmin's business. Brother Jianmin is not having a good time now and has no desire to live, so we want to write a petition for Brother Jianmin to give Brother Jianmin a little hope of living."
"Ha, you girl is quite good at making trouble. Ah, Zhang Guoquan, who sent him in, is he going to make a petition now? Oh, it's to save Jianmin. That's what you mean. You're so full."
Old Monster Yang raised his eyebrows: "It's like a dog-tailed marten, and he pretends to be a big-tailed wolf. With these good words before and after, he will take over them all."
He finally got the chance to eliminate his second son-in-law, so he was very excited.
"And you, you have bad legs, and you are following him around the village. What's the show?"
Old Monster Yang remembers that Erya was not like this before.
"Dad, one code is one code." Zhang Guoquan puts the money in front of him: "You hold the money, it is definitely not dirty money, so you can spend it with confidence."
Zhang Guoquan didn't care whether Old Monster Yang collected the money or not, but just put it there and stood up: "Brother Jianmin's affairs are another code. It doesn't matter if everyone has prejudice against me, but now this petition is for Brother Jianmin, so I asked my father to press a handprint."
Zhang Guoquan said sincerely, and that's all he could say.
As expected, Old Monster Yang was still unmoved and just held the airs and refused to sign.
Fortunately, Yang Yulan came over and took the petition: "Hey, who is not a sign? Our father is illiterate, I'll sign it. Let's sign it. Let's just send a representative from each other."
Under the slanted eyes of the old monster Yang, Yang Yulan quickly signed her name.
"Thank you, sister."
"You're welcome, it's all a family." Yang Yulan stroked her hair: "Okay, you guys can go ahead and come to play often in the future if you have nothing to do."
Zhang Guoquan nodded gratefully and left here with Bai Ge.
Looking at the thick stack of petitions in my hand, each with a crooked sign, and more of them were densely packed with handprints, all red.
These red handprints are the heartbeats of the villagers.
There are dozens of households, and Zhang Guoquan took Bai Ge to continue working.
Most of the villagers signed and pressed their handprints, so the remaining dozens of households did not have much effort.
When he returned home, Zhang Guoquan spread his petitions with good handprints on the small bed. He looked at them and was excited. The petitions completely opened up his heart and his mood suddenly became relaxed.
Bai Ge was so happy because Zhang Guoquan was happy.
Zhang Guoquan suddenly turned around, his eyes full of enthusiasm: "Bai Ge, thank you. If I hadn't been to you these days, I would never have completed this task."
"Guoquan, I..." Before she could finish her sentence, her body quickly stiffened.
Guoquan actually rushed over and hugged her directly in his arms.
This is different from the hug that Guoquan had carried her to the bed before. The hug that had been touched before was more like Guoquan was completing a daily task and then slowly forming a habit.
This time it's different, it's different at all.
She was tightly held in her arms by Guoquan, and she could feel his violent beating heart, which was beating for her.
The white pigeon gently stretched out his arms and placed them carefully on his back, as if he was afraid of disturbing him.
The corners of the white dove raised its mouth and she smiled happily.
After a while, Zhang Guoquan suddenly let go of her and stood up suddenly, which made Bai Ge feel lost. She was still immersed in the happy time just now, but it was too short.
"White Dove, I'll take you to the river beach to wash your hair."
Bai Ge quickly turned from the loss he had just now to the happiness, and she quickly lit her head.
Zhang Guoquan put a towel around his neck and pushed the white dove outside the yard.
Then, in the surprised expression of Bai Ge, he ran quickly to the door of Aunt Wang's house, which was not far away. Then, with the momentum of running, he actually jumped high and reached out to grab the leaves on the jujube tree.
When my feet fell to the ground, I had a handful of date leaves in my hand.
Bai Ge looked puzzled. What should I do if I pick other people’s date leaves? Could it be that Aunt Wang scolded Guoquan a few days ago and used her date tree to vent her.
When Zhang Guoquan came over with a handful of date leaves, Bai Ge couldn't help asking: "What are you doing when you pick it?"
"Ah?" Zhang Guoquan looked at the jujube leaves in his hand and was obviously stunned: "I thought you knew?"
Bai Ge really doesn't know.
"It's okay, you'll know later." Zhang Guoquan kept it a secret and was about to not tell her for now.
Bai Ge joked: "You picked other people's jujube leaves, and you are not afraid that Aunt Wang will come to you again."
"Just Wang is just a few leaves, so she is not that stingy."
Zhang Guoquan didn't care at all and pushed the white dove towards the river beach.
"Which heaven kills my jujube tree? Look at the leaves on this land, how bad it is."
Seeing the trembling jujube branches from the yard, Aunt Wang walked out. The falling jujube leaves were scattered on the ground. She felt that it was so bad that she cursed her immediately. It must have been done by some naughty child.
Zhang Guoquan had just arrived at the river bank and had not yet gone down. When he heard Aunt Wang start cursing again, he paused and quickly pushed the white dove to walk towards the river beach.
It made Bai Ge cover his mouth and laugh.
When we arrived at the river beach, the clear river water flowed slowly, and only accelerated suddenly at the gourd mouth, rushed forward, and went to the distance, and slowly slowed down.
Because the terrain at the gourd mouth suddenly lowered and the water flow rushed over quickly, it brought out a lot of river sand, forming a huge river beach.
The river beach is golden, and occasionally there are extremely strong wild grass attached to it.
Zhang Guoquan took down the wooden barrel he carried in his wheelchair and took a bucket of water from the river. Then he put the newly picked jujube leaves into the wooden barrel and rubbed them with his palms.
The white dove's eyes were not on the wooden barrel, and his eyes looked at the green reed marsh.
Zhang Guoquan kept moving in his hand, and he occasionally raised his eyes to Bai Ge: "Bai Ge, do you want to go to the reed marsh?"
The white pigeon's eyes were just taken back from the reed marsh, and they saw that there was a lot of white foam coming out of the wooden barrel.
"I'll take you there later when I'll take you there."
Zhang Guoquan held all the date leaves in his hand, and rubbed them hard, a lot of foam came out of the cracks of his palm, which was smooth and a little sticky.
"I'm going to go to Secretary Yang tomorrow and show the signed petitions to Brother Jianmin. I believe he will understand the good intentions of the villagers."
"Tomorrow?" Bai Ge asked casually. She was interested in those bubbles now.
"Yes, it took three days to ask the villagers to sign the petition. It seemed that the trial will be held the day after tomorrow. You can't wait any longer. You will meet Brother Jianmin tomorrow no matter what." Zhang Guoquan said to Bai Ge while rubbing the jujube leaves in his hand.
Looking at the increasing amount of bubbles in the bucket, Bai Ge couldn't help but ask: "Guoquan, why are there so many bubbles in the bucket?"
There was obviously no alkaline soap, but so much foam came out, which surprised Bai Ge a little for a moment.
