Seeing that the old man was still angry and swearing, Li Manjun and others felt relieved, it didn't look like something serious was going on.
Moreover, the ravine was very short, only one meter and two meters high. The old man from the country had a strong body, and he only had a little scrape on his elbows and knees.
Liu Cheng thought that it would be enough to pull the old man up, but Li Manjun was a little worried and helped the people to the end, asking Liu Cheng to carry the poor old man back to his home.
Li Manjun comforted the old man, "Don't panic. It's nothing serious. It's just a little scratch. I'll wash it with hydrogen peroxide and disinfect it and it'll be fine."
"Hey, I know..." The old man looked at Li Manjun with tears in his eyes, "Granddaughter, you are a kind person. You are a good person. Bodhisattva bless you conscientious young people."
"This way, my home is over here." The old man took the time to give Liu Cheng directions.
Although this old man was thin and heavy-framed, Liu Cheng carried half of the way, and the remaining half was carried by the three Hao Jian brothers, which could be regarded as carrying the old man to the door of his house.
This is a two-story wooden house. The outside of the house is painted black and is shiny with age.
There is a courtyard dam in front of the house, with small flower beds built with cement around it, in which these green vegetables and garlic seedlings are planted.
In the yard, a hen led a group of chicks around the flower bed, leisurely and leisurely.
The door of the house is open, and the villagers hardly have the habit of closing the door, and no one enters the main room casually.
There was no one in the courtyard, and white smoke was rising from the roof. Li Manjun shouted inside:
"Is anyone home?"
"Who is it?" A voice came from the small house on the side of the house.
After a while, a woman in an apron opened the door and walked out of the small house. When she saw her father-in-law covered in mud and water, she screamed.
Li Manjun stepped forward to explain the ins and outs. The aunt quickly moved the father-in-law's chair out and asked Liu Cheng and others to put the old man on the stool.
Looking at the people and the mountains behind the house, I was in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.
It was Li Manjun who said, "Go and call someone, and we'll help you keep an eye on the uncle. He should be fine. He just rubbed his skin a little."
The aunt thanked her hurriedly and asked Li Manjun and others to help look after the old man. She hurriedly ran towards the back hill to call her husband and son home.
While waiting, Li Manjun put down his things first, walked into the small room that looked like a kitchen, searched around, found a clean handkerchief and a basin, and turned on the fire on the kitchen stove to boil a basin of water.
I took it out and gave the old man a brief cleaning of the wound.
I took off my dirty sleeves and rolled up my trouser legs. I checked everything and found that the bones were indeed fine.
"You have a strong body. If an old man were thrown down like this, his bones would easily crack due to osteoporosis, and he might even suffer a fracture." Li Manjun said with a smile.
Liu Cheng didn't know where her patience came from. She could still be so calm even though the business over there hadn't been completed yet.
The old man washed his face with hot water and wiped away his tears. His cloudy eyes became much clearer. He looked at Li Manjun and sighed:
"Thank you for not looking down on my old bones. Even my own granddaughter has helped me clean up like this. When my son and daughter-in-law come back, you can stay at my house for breakfast, and I will treat you to rice wine."
"No, we have already eaten. We will come to your house to eat next time." Li Manjun declined politely.
Just as he was talking, the old man's daughter-in-law called his son and husband back.
As soon as the old man's son got home, he hurriedly asked his son to call his uncle over.
Ever since, when Li Manjun and others were trying to avoid the warm invitation from the uncle's family, the anxious Uncle Hu was ushered in by the old uncle's grandson.
Both parties were stunned. Li Manjun reacted first, looked at the uncle and asked: "Is this your father?"
Uncle Hu nodded, "Yes, why are you at my brother's house?"
The old man looked confused, "Erleng, do you know the little girls?"
Uncle Hu nodded and said, "It was Sister Li who wanted to buy the bed in our ancestral house."
"Oh, let's talk about your business." The old man looked at Li Manjun happily, thinking that this fate was wonderful, and told his son not to raise the price, and that was almost it.
"It's just an old-fashioned bed. Who would sleep on that bed these days? You should sell it quickly. It's best to sell it to Miss Li."
Uncle Hu remembered the embarrassment of canceling the deposit yesterday, and quickly cast pleading looks at Li Manjun and Liu Cheng, hoping that they would not talk about it in front of the old man.
"Don't worry, dad. This bed was originally meant for Sister Li. Don't worry. I'll go to the lame man's place to prescribe some medicine for you first. We'll talk in detail when we get back."
The latter words were said to Li Manjun.
The eldest daughter-in-law warmly invited Li Manjun and others to have breakfast at home and talk while eating.
Li Manjun and Liu Cheng looked at each other, exchanged glances, and nodded in agreement.
"This feeling is good." Uncle Hu was very happy.
Uncle Hu looked embarrassed and didn't want to spoil the old man's mood, so he excused himself to get some medicine and left.
The lame man was the barefoot doctor in the village. He knew how to make some local recipes and could cure any disease. Uncle Hu bought some medicine from him and asked for a bottle of hydrogen peroxide that Li Manjun had told him to come back and clean the old man's wounds.
After the old man's side was settled, the food at the eldest daughter-in-law's side was also set, and several people were served.
Li Manjun took out the candies and biscuits he brought, "I originally wanted to go directly to Uncle Hu's house to ask about the situation. Isn't it a coincidence? I didn't expect to meet the uncle."
Uncle Hu has now figured it out and listens to his father's words.
First, he was grateful to Li Manjun for sending his old father back in time.
Secondly, Li Manjun's sincerity touched him again.
Business should be done with integrity. Uncle Hu raised his glass and punished himself with a glass of wine. "It's my fault. I'll go back to them right away. I don't want the extra two hundred!"
Brother Hu didn't say anything. If it was less than two hundred, he would still get two hundred. He could still get the nine hundred that he had agreed upon at the beginning.
Liu Cheng, Hao Jian and others looked at each other, but they didn't expect that what they originally thought would be a difficult thing to do was actually accomplished by such a strange combination of circumstances.
This time the two parties signed a contract, and even had the village chief witness it, so it was officially finalized. All they had to do was wait for Hao Jian's father to come over and dismantle the bed, and Li Manjun to pay the money and get the goods.
After the contract was written, Uncle Hu was sober after drinking in the morning, and he was a little confused:
"As originally agreed, the two out-of-town bosses will come over tomorrow to pull the bed. I'm afraid they will get angry. What will I do if they beat me?"
what to do?
The three brothers Hao Jian and Liu Cheng will stay in the old house tonight and not leave!
The four of them together, are they still afraid of two outsiders?
In the afternoon, Li Manjun took the shuttle home alone. He sat next to the phone and watched the clock on the wall turn to eight o'clock. He picked up the phone and dialed the number on the note.
After the phone rang twice, it was picked up, and the man asked in a low voice, "Who is this?"
"I, Li Manjun, am I Zhao Yong?"
Zhao Yong, who was lying lazily on the wooden sofa, sat upright in excitement.
