She had been waiting in the yard for a long time. As soon as she heard some movement outside the door, she couldn't wait to come out and take a look. Sure enough, she saw Xiaobai and Xi'er.
The three children gathered together and murmured, and Xiaonian's grandfather welcomed Zhang Tan and Tan Jin'er into the house.
Xiaonian's grandfather was named Chen Yungui. He opened the iron door completely and invited Zhang Tan and Tan Jin'er to come in and sit down.
The yard is not big and is covered with soil. Oops! I thought I was in a vegetable garden. It is full of greenery and vitality. Zhang Tan glanced around and recognized peppers, eggplants, beans, green vegetables, tomatoes, and more.
Chickens and ducklings.
This yard is more like a vegetable garden, with a gravel path passing through it and leading directly to the back room.
Chen Yungui took the initiative to introduce them to them: "I have grown some vegetables in the yard. They are self-sufficient and they grow very well. I will pick some for you later. They are all natural and have no fertilizer."
Zhang Tan suddenly remembered that once, when he first came to Xiaohongma in Xiaonian, Chen Yungui brought a handful of green vegetables, a handful of beans and a basket of green peppers to his door. He also said that they were all natural and grown by himself.
Fertilize, please give it a try.
At that time, he was too kind to refuse, so he accepted it. Later, it seems that he gave it to Lao Li and took it home. He can't remember clearly.
Caiwazi is very meticulously organized, and you can see that someone is taking care of it regularly. The vegetables grow lush and full of color.
Upon entering the house, the interior is old and there are very few furnitures, and the few pieces have a sense of age.
It can almost be described as a house with only four walls.
There were many cartoons on the wall, as well as posters of film and television stars. Zhang Tan saw the goddess Xu Biling. Next to Xu Biling, there was a poster of four puppies playing and chasing each other... It was obvious that the paintings on these walls
They are not carefully selected and posted, but more like they are posted one by one and accumulated over time, so there is no particular layout.
An old woman came out of the room, poured a cup of hot tea for Zhang Tan and Tan Jin'er, and invited them to have some snacks.
After the introduction, we learned that this was Xiaonian’s grandmother, named Yang Lan.
"I'm going to prepare the cooking first. Please come and eat here at noon." Grandma Yang said.
Tan Jin'er said quickly: "No need to bother, Zhang Tan and I will leave in a moment. Just let Xiaobai and Xi'er stay here with Xiaonian."
Grandma Yang said with a smile: "No trouble, this is the first time a guest comes to our house."
She turned and went to the kitchen, leaving Mr. Chen to talk to them.
Zhang Tan asked: "Is this the ancestral home?"
Chen Yungui: "It's rented. Our hometown is in a village on the outskirts of Pujiang, not in Huangjia Village."
"How much does it cost per month?"
"600 yuan..."
Just when Zhang Tan wanted to say it was so cheap, Mr. Chen said: "It's quite expensive. It used to be more expensive. It cost 1,000 yuan. After living there for a year, the landlord said, I'll give you a lower price every month. If you don't live in this house, it's okay."
There is no one living there anymore, so the rent is reduced a little every month, but now it still costs 600 yuan. If we stay longer, it will be even cheaper... The landlord is a good person."
Zhang Tan learned from the chat that Chen Yungui and Yang Lan both worked in a nearby community, doing property cleaning.
"I can drive and operate a sweeper in the community."
"I've seen it, but I've never driven it."
"I also learned it on my own, and I didn't know how to do it before."
…
During the chat, Zhang Tan's cell phone rang. It was Zhu Xiaojing, Liliu's mother.
Zhang Tan wondered if he couldn't find the way to ask for directions. When he answered, it turned out that he was.
"I'll go pick them up outside."
Zhang Tan went out and came to the yard. Xiaobai, Xi'er and Xiaonian were squatting in front of a row of eggplants, chatting silly.
He walked through the vegetable field and went out. After walking for a long time, he found Zhu Xiaojing and Liuliu who were lost.
Liliu was listless and pestered her mother to carry her.
Zhu Xiaojing said: "Do you want to exhaust your mother to death? You are so heavy, the weather is so hot, and you have walked for such a long time, and you still need me to carry you?!! It is not easy for me to give birth to you, and to raise you like this
Big, you have to be filial to me a long time ago. Why don't you carry your mother on your back? Mom can't walk anymore. Can't you fly? Fly one and show it to mother. If it weren't for sending you here to attend the child's birthday, I would
Will you get lost here?..."
Liuliu was confused by what he said. It took her some time to digest it before she said, "Mother Zhu, do you want some water? Here you go."
Zhu Xiaojing rolled her eyes. This child is very smart, but he doesn't need to be in the right place.
They saw Zhang Tan and were led to Xiaonian's house.
Zhang Tan continued to go out. Although the other companies did not call to ask for directions, it was quite difficult to find this place. He came to a fork in the road, called them one by one, sent them their location, and finally gathered them together.
The yard was lively with Xiaobai, Xier, Liuliu, Dudu, Xiaomi and Chengcheng.
This is a group of besties who just want to have fun and don’t want to work.
In addition, there are Xiao Youyou, Shi Baobao, Xiao Zhengzheng, and Xiao Yuanyuan, who are Xiaonian's good friends.
Tan Xier introduced the names of the vegetables in the yard to Zhang Tan. After a while, everyone came out and talked about what they were talking about.
Zhu Xiaojing said: "Let's go back."
Cheng Cheng's father Meng Guangxin also said: "Let's go."
Everyone agreed to leave.
Zhang Tan was surprised and quickly went over to ask what was going on.
I just came here, how could I just leave? I haven't even celebrated Xiaonian's birthday yet.
Zhu Xiaojing explained: "We plan to leave without increasing the burden on their family."
Zhang Tan stopped him: "Then let's celebrate Xiaonian's birthday first before leaving. Otherwise, why are you all here for the trouble? You've already come, why don't you just sit back and sit down."
Zhu Xiaojing said on behalf of everyone: "There are so many of us, which puts too much burden on them. Boss Zhang, don't worry. What we mean is that we adults will leave, and the children will stay here to play with Xiaonian. We will pick them up in the afternoon."
"
Zhang Tan: "This..."
Meng Guangxin said: "Boss Zhang, I still want to trouble you. It's not good if we all leave. We have to leave at least one person. Why don't you stay here? Otherwise, we really won't be at ease."
Zhang Tan finally agreed, but he took Tan Jin'er with him. The two of them stayed while the others left first.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chen Yungui and Yang Lan hurriedly came out of the house to persuade them to stay, but everyone really couldn't bear to add to their burden. To make such a meal would be very expensive for them.
It must be quite big.
Not long after they left, Meng Guangxin left and returned. Instead of entering the house, he waved to Zhang Tan in the alley and told him to get out.
After leaving the yard, Zhang Tan saw Meng Guangxin carrying large and small bags of many things, including meat, fish, noodles...
"What is this?" Zhang Tan asked.
Meng Guangxin smiled a little shyly and said: "It's for Xiaonian's family. When I went back just now, I happened to see a small vegetable market, so I bought some. I won't go in. Boss Zhang, can you help carry it in?"
Zhang sighed: "How can I explain?"
Meng Guangxin hesitated for a moment and said, "How about just saying I picked it up."
He couldn't think of a good excuse, so he started making nonsense.
Zhang Tan was speechless, "You can't even deceive Xiaonian!"
Meng Guangxin laughed. He really couldn't deceive children. He used to dress up as a woman and tried to deceive Xiao Chengcheng, but Xiao Chengcheng saw it and played along with him.
Zhang Tan waved his hand, "You go ahead, I'll find a way to do it."
"Hey, thank you." Meng Guangxin left.
Zhang Tan thought about it with a headache. He met Tan Jin'er in the yard and told Tan Jin'er what happened. The two of them delivered the things to Chen Yungui together, saying that they were buying things as gifts.
After finally getting them to accept it, Zhang Tan's phone rang. It was Zhu Xiaojing's. Zhu Xiaojing mysteriously asked him to go to the alley.
Zhang Tan went out to take a look and saw that Zhu Xiaojing also had a lot of things in his hand, and a box of milk at his feet.
Tan Jin'er was waiting for Zhang Tan in the yard. When she saw him coming back carrying a lot of things, she stretched her neck to look at the alley outside, but the wall blocked her and she couldn't see anything.
"Who sent it again?"
"Mother Liuliu."
Suddenly a child's voice sounded in the distance, and he responded with a crisp "Hey~~". Zhang Tan's face suddenly darkened, and Tan Jin'er held back from laughing.
Zhang Tan glared mercilessly at Duoliu, who was spinning in the vegetable field, and restrained himself from using his trump card to make her cry.
Tan Jin'er eased Zhang Tan's embarrassment and proactively asked, "How are you going to explain this time?"
"It's for the phone bill." Zhang Tan said angrily, too lazy to think too much, and immediately realized that his tone was not very good. He glanced at Tan Jin'er apologetically, which meant that he was not targeting her, but the Xiao Shen family.
…
If it was given by charging phone bills, it must have been a one-time charge for all the phone bills for the rest of the life, otherwise it would be impossible to give so many things. After Meng Guangxin and Zhu Xiaojing sent things, Shi Baobao’s mother, the young woman Li, also sent a large number of things.
Dui. She was more direct. She directly asked Zhang Tan to pick it up in the store. He took whatever he liked and she paid for it.
…
As for how to explain it and how to persuade Chen Yungui and Yang Lan to accept it, that is a headache for Zhang Tan and Tan Jin'er. After all, they bought everything and they can't return it.
A group of children, led by Grandma Yang, helped pick vegetables in the yard, including peppers, beans, and eggplants...
Grandma Yang and Tan Jiner went back to the kitchen to cook. Xiaobai and everyone stayed to supervise Liuliu to plant the pepper tree back again. This guy picked peppers but uprooted the whole pepper tree.
"I didn't do it on purpose. I was too strong. I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose. Xiaobai, Xiaobai, it was Chubby who said hey, hey, pull out the carrot..."
Liuliu tried her best to explain that she was worried that Guawazi, headed by Xiaobai, would plant her in the vegetable field and grow small durians next year.
