Jiang Hua pretended to raise his hands in surrender: "Why don't you be so serious? I surrender, madam."
Lan Jieying grabbed Jiang Hua's collar: "Hurry up and confess to Madam."
Jiang Hua picked up Lan Jieying and said, "yes, madam."
Jiang Hua wanted to take Lan Jieying back to the room and confess, but Lan Jieying resolutely refused to allow it. In this environment, she was embarrassed to make the next move. Jiang Hua was so upset that he could only give up.
In the 1980s, the early mornings in Beijing were quiet. There were no loudspeakers playing the uplifting and exciting music anymore. Jiang Hua rarely slept in.
Lan Jieying also slept very comfortably, without the sound of loudspeakers or the bustling crowds and cries of sellers.
After Lan Jieying washed up, she gave Jiang Hua a sweet kiss: "The capital is really nice. It's quiet and quiet. It's not as noisy as Xiangjiang. It's just a bit cold, but it's still quite comfortable in the heated room."
Jiang Hua took her out for breakfast. Lan Jieying was not pretentious at all. She had a belly full of fried steamed buns and stinky tofu that didn't contain any lake water. Only the bean juice was as unpalatable as Jiang Hua's.
After breakfast, Jiang Hua took Lan Jieying to the second-entry yard where he went to buy.
Watching Jiang Hua take the key to open the door, Lan Jieying asked curiously: "Is this your house too?"
"Yes, I bought it myself."
Pushing open the courtyard door, Lan Jieying walked into a large patio, which was filled with flowers and trees, and was clean and tidy. It seemed that Jiang Biyun and Zheng Tong usually put a lot of thought into it.
Lan Jieying danced happily in the courtyard: "It's so big here, even bigger than Uncle Zhong's yard."
Jiang Hua smiled and said: "This will be our own home from now on."
While Lan Jieying was running around in various rooms, someone came in through the door.
"Which grandson dares to break into the empty door? If you are too brave, get out of here."
When Jiang Hua heard this, he knew it was Zheng Tong who was speaking. He turned around and saw Zheng Tong holding a military thorn in his hand.
"Hey, Hua Zi, you're back."
Zheng Tong turned around and waved: "Jiang Biyun, come in, it's not a thief, it's Jiang Hua who is back."
Jiang Biyun emerged from behind the door and asked cautiously: "Is it really Jiang Hua? Are you serious?"
"It's serious." Zheng Tong said impatiently: "How familiar I am with Hua Zi. I can recognize him even when he turns to ashes."
"Hi, grandson." Jiang Hua smiled and scolded: "It's so early in the morning, you don't know how to speak human words, do you?"
Zheng Tong pretended to slap his mouth: "Look at my bad mouth. I saw Mr. Jiang so early in the morning and I didn't even bother to give him a kiss. Why can't I say a few auspicious words? I'll slap you."
At this time, Lan Jieying also walked out of the room and asked: "Brother Hua, who are you talking to?"
When Zheng Tong saw she was a little beauty, her eyes widened.
Jiang Biyun walked in and asked with a smile: "Jiang Hua, who are you, this girl?"
"My girlfriend, you are already in pairs, you don't want me to find a companion."
Zheng Tong said: "You look too young."
Jiang Hua pointed at Zheng Tong and his wife and said: "This is my deceased friend named Zheng Tong, and next to him is his wife named Jiang Biyun. We used to go to the countryside together."
Zheng Tong asked: "How old is this girl?"
Jiang Hua said proudly: "It's the 19th New Year."
Zheng Tong smiled and said: "Damn it, you are so much younger than me, I can't call you sister-in-law."
Jiang Hua said to Zheng Tong: "It's up to you. You can call me sister. Her name is Lan Jieying, from Xiangjiang."
Jiang Biyun walked up to Lan Jieying: "This girl is so beautiful, but she is a bit spoiled by following Jiang Hua."
Jiang Biyun stretched out his hand: "My name is Jiang Biyun, and I used to be comrades-in-arms with Jiang Hua."
Lan Jieying stretched out her little hand and held it with Jiang Biyun. Jiang Biyun smiled and said: "I said Jiang Hua couldn't look down on anyone back then. He needs to find a younger person for his relationship."
"That's right." Zheng Tong gritted his teeth and said, "You are just an animal. An old cow eats young grass."
Jiang Hua didn't care at all about Zheng Tong's jealousy. He smiled and asked, "You don't live with me now?"
"Didn't you say that by buying a courtyard like this, we would not have to worry about food and drink for the rest of our lives? I have been living here for half a year, and someone happened to be selling a courtyard nearby, so I borrowed money to buy it, and my third brother also bought one. We are
Neighbor, I help you clean every now and then. I have a day off today. Jiang Biyun wanted to come and clean the yard. When she saw the door open, she thought someone had broken in. "
Jiang Hua waved to Jiang Biyun: "Jiang Biyun, thank you. I just saw it. It was cleaned very well."
Zheng Tong said seriously: "Being entrusted by others is a matter of loyalty."
Jiang Hua asked: "Are you guys going to rest today?"
Zheng Tong put his hand on Jiang Hua's forehead: "Hutu is gone, today is Sunday."
"Just in time, let's have hot pot for lunch."
Zheng Tong and Jiang Biyun said happily: "This is good."
Jiang Biyun said: "Zheng Tong, go and call the third child. He is also resting today. I will go buy groceries."
Lan Jieying asked in a low voice: "Sister, can I go shopping with you?"
"Okay." Jiang Biyun said happily: "That's right. Let's have a good chat."
Jiang Hua said: "She doesn't speak Mandarin very well. Don't talk too deeply."
"Don't worry, I won't give up your old job."
Jiang Hua took out some cash, which was all big bills, and was about to hand it to Jiang Biyun. Zheng Tong said with an unhappy look: "Who are you chilling? Take it back. Don't we have money to buy food?"
Jiang Biyun also said: "That's right, I only buy some vegetables here. You have to make those mutton rolls yourself."
Jiang Hua patted his head, forgetting that supplies are abundant in Xiangjiang and everything can be bought at the vegetable market. This is the mainland, the vegetable basket project has not started yet, and the supply of supplies is not so abundant yet.
Jiang Biyun took Lan Jieying's arm and led her out of the small courtyard. Zheng Tong said to Jiang Hua: "I'll call the third child. By the way, you don't have to worry about beer and drinks. The third child works in the supply and marketing cooperative. These
There is a way to get things."
Fortunately, Jiang Hua still has some friends in the capital over the years. Although they may not be very good, they can easily get some mutton, beef, etc.
After driving around in the car, I got more than ten kilograms of mutton and beef. Jiang Hua also picked two treasures from his collection.
When he returned to the courtyard, Lao San and Zheng Tong were squatting on the well platform washing vegetables, while Lan Jieying and Jiang Biyun were choosing vegetables under the eaves.
When the third child saw Jiang Hua walking in with the meat, he immediately went up to help carry it and said with a smile: "Brother Hua Zi, you are back."
