"By the way, Xiao An, it's such a cold weather, you must have something to do in town, right?"
In Zhou Lan's eyes, Zhang An was actually quite lazy. He would never go out if nothing happened, and he would have to walk for a long time just to walk.
“We don’t have a stove at home, so we have to light the fire pit to keep the fire going every day, and we have to light the stove to cook, which is a bit troublesome, so I wanted to come over and see if it would be more convenient to buy a stove for cooking and heating.”
After Zhang An talked about his affairs, he didn't expect Li Hongbin to pick him up.
"Come on, there's no need to buy it. We have an extra stove here, but we still can't find a place to put it. It's going to get rotten sooner or later if it's just piled up like this."
"Ah, there's one more? You didn't buy two more, did you?"
Li Hongbin waved his hand, "Of course not, money is not wasted like this. I have a friend who took his parents to the provincial capital. He probably won't come back again. After disposing of the things at home, there is still a lot of iron left.
The stove was brought to me, but I didn’t use it, so I kept it there, and I was worried that it would rust and rot.”
"Yes, that one is still there. I forgot about it. It's a big stove. You can take it back and use it for the whole family, even if guests come."
Finally, I took Zhang An to look at the iron stove in the utility room. It looked almost like a new one, and it was indeed big enough for seven or eight people to sit around.
Since it was available here, Zhang An didn't go to town to buy it.
In the evening, Zhou Lan insisted on staying with Zhang An for dinner. Zhang An couldn't resist, so he called the village and asked Zhang Xinmin to tell his parents that he would go back later.
Because Li Hongbin said he would drive to help deliver the stove that night, he didn't drink.
During the meal, Li Yao sat around Zhang An and told Zhang An to eat this and that, which made everyone laugh.
"Yaoyao, if you like Uncle Zhang An so much, how about you ask him to be your godfather?"
"Okay!" Li Yao agreed without thinking. He turned around and called Zhang An directly "Godfather".
"I didn't expect this. This troublemaker in our family is usually indifferent to others, but it's different with Zhang An. Every time he comes here, he becomes very close to him, which makes me jealous." Li Hongbin took the photo.
Slap your forehead and say.
Zhang An was a little stunned. He didn't expect that a son would come out of a meal outside.
However, this was because Zhou Lan and his wife thought highly of them, so they readily agreed immediately.
However, Zhang An didn't bring anything with him today, so he made an agreement to let Zhou Lan and his wife take Li Yao to Changqing Village to meet his parents another day. At this time, it is necessary to bow to the bride.
Although Zhou Lan's family has dinner early, it gets dark early in winter.
After dinner, Zhang An, after sitting for a while, asked to go back.
Li Hongbin originally wanted to let Zhang An stay at home for a night, but Zhang An said that he was afraid that his family would be worried and would not try to persuade him to stay the next time he came back.
Li Hongbin's family car was a Mazda sedan, which could not transport the stove, so he went out for a while and drove back in a pickup truck.
The stove weighs more than 100 kilograms, which is quite heavy. Li Hongbin originally thought that it would be difficult for him and Zhang An to lift it, but Zhang An didn't expect that Zhang An could lift it directly.
After putting the stove in the car, he looked back at Li Hongbin and Zhou Lan, who looked at him with wide eyes.
"My dear, this is more than a hundred kilograms. You just lifted it up like this without even breathing?"
Li Hongbin looked at Zhang An as if he were a pervert.
"What's the point? He's extremely talented. He's practiced doing farm work in the countryside all year round." Zhang An pretended to be modest, but his strength was much larger than before due to the space. Lifting more than two hundred kilograms is not a big deal.
No matter how many problems there are, it won’t be enough.
Li Hongbin rolled his eyes, "You think I've never done farm work, right? You're such a pervert."
In this era, pervert is not yet a curse word.
Zhang An originally planned to give Zhou Lan 200 yuan for this stove, but buying a new one would cost about the same.
But Zhou Lan refused to accept them, and said that Zhang An no longer regarded them as friends, so Zuo Hou did not give up.
After Li Hongbin fixed the stove with a rope, the two got in the car.
Because it was getting dark, and it was too cold, humid, and cold in the mountains at night, little Li Yao originally wanted to go with him, but Zhou Lan didn't agree, and the little guy even lost his temper.
But Zhou Lan said that as long as he behaved, she would take him there next time, so she immediately stopped her.
Before leaving, Li Yao waved to Zhang An and said, "Goodbye, godfather."
After half a year, the road from Shuixian County to Hongyan Town was finally repaired.
The two started from the town, which saved nearly half the time compared to taking the mountain road.
After ten minutes, we arrived at the stone pass and the car turned onto the mountain road.
It turns out that when there were no roads, even driving would take thirty or forty minutes.
After a short meeting, we arrived at Changqing Village.
Parking the car on the grain drying ground, Zhang An lifted the stove down and moved it home.
Li Hongbin originally wanted to help, but Zhang An asked him to use his flashlight in front to find the way.
The stove was moved to the house in a few minutes. Fortunately, it was night, otherwise others would have seen Zhang An carrying the stove alone, and the village's information agency would have started to spread new rumors the next day.
In a village, the intelligence center at the head of the village can decide whether a person will be ruined or successful in just a few seconds.
When Wang Fang and Zhang Jiaguo saw their son carrying a stove back alone, they originally wanted to say something to Zhang An, but seeing someone accompanying their son, they didn't say anything.
After inviting Li Hongbin to sit at home, Wang Fang also made Li Hongbin a cup of hot tea.
Li Hongbin greeted Zhang An's parents enthusiastically, calling him uncle and aunt.
Zhang An's parents are more than ten years older than him, so it's not a bad idea to call him uncle or aunt.
When Zhou Lan and Zhou Lan came last time, Zhang Jianguo took Wang Fang out for a visit, so they didn't meet each other.
So this time Zhang An introduced Li Hongbin to his parents.
He also talked about accepting Li Yao as his godson, and the couple was very happy.
He kept asking Li Hongbin to bring his children to play at home often.
The whole family and Li Hongbin were very happy, and it was considered a great time for the guests and the host.
Li Hongbin took a sip of tea and said, "Well, this is the taste. This is the tea I drank last time. It tastes very comfortable."
These words naturally made Wang Fang very happy, because Wang Fang picked the tea himself and roasted it.
Of course, the camellia is really good, and only the tops are picked when picked.
But the more reason is to use space spring water to soak your hair.
At eight or nine o'clock in the evening, Li Hongbin was about to go back. He originally wanted to have guests at home, but his wife and children were waiting at home, so he did not continue to invite guests.
Wang Fang also packed some tea leaves for Li Hongbin to take back.
Before leaving, Zhang An called out to Li Hongbin, walked to the pond, grabbed two fine-scaled fish, found something and pretended to give it to Li Hongbin.
Anyway, Li Yao said he really liked this fish, so he packed two of them for Li Hongbin.
If it were anyone else, Li Hongbin might have refused, but he wanted as much fish as he wanted.
The last time he ate this fish, he stood up in front of Zhou Lan in the evening and managed to convince Zhou Lan, who was usually not very satisfied.
There is no way, when people reach middle age and often socialize and drink, their health will definitely not be as good as before.
If my body can't keep up, I will definitely be unable to stand up in front of my wife.
The fish in this pond were put in by Zhang An. Before the weather got cold, he would often use the excuse of going to the river to catch fish and bring a few with him every time he came back.
"Hey, brother, I'm not polite, this thing is a good treasure." Li Hongbin was very happy.
Zhang An was also at this age in his previous life, so he knew what was going on with Li Hongbin's smile.
