Chapter 13 Do not accept gifts from others
Li Xinke sat opposite Ye Wanfu, and also heard what Zhang Jingxian said clearly.
Only then did I know that the relationship between Tu Wanguan and Zhang Jingxian's family was very unusual.
She only heard Zhang Jingxian say to Ye Wanfu:
"My dad told me on the phone that the person he couldn't worry about in his life was my aunt. ”
Ye Wanfu nodded slightly and said softly:
"That's for sure, they're brother and sister. Besides, when you and your sister were young, weren't they all brought up by your aunt?"
Zhang Jingxian heard this and sighed softly.
If it weren't for her aunt, who helped his parents take care of her and her sister, then how could her parents have raised her aunt for so many years?
"My aunt is such a good individual, but she was delayed by the scourge of Tu Wanguan. You see, my aunt has been wandering for most of her life, half crazy and half stupid, how pitiful. ”
When Zhang Jingxian said this, her voice was not small. It seems that he has no intention of hiding something from the others sitting at the table.
Jing Qianya served a bowl of fish soup for Li Shanshan and persuaded Li Shanshan to eat more.
Li Xinke saw that Jing Qianya was very good to Li Shanshan, and there was a trace of gratitude in her eyes.
In fact, after her father's death, she and her sister rarely visited other people's homes. Except, of course, for loved ones.
Nearby villagers, if anyone has a treat, Du Muhao will personally take Li Xinke and Li Shanshan there. Sometimes, he would say to Li Xinke in private:
"If Grandpa, Grandma, and I, the elder, don't go to other people's homes to be guests, you shouldn't go to other people's houses to eat alone. ”
"Okay, Mom. ”
Li Xinke agreed very obediently.
This time, Li Xin took it upon herself to take her sister out to play. I also brought my sister to Jing Qianya's dormitory to eat, and she felt happy when she saw her sister eating.
Yan Jia, like his grandmother, almost doesn't speak when eating.
They eat elegantly, eating only the dishes that are placed in front of them. And use a spoon to hold the soup, handle it gently, and it won't make the slightest sound.
also sat at the table to eat, Professor Shu, Yan Jia, and Li Xinke himself, so they could be quiet.
But on the other hand, Ye Wanfu, who was sitting opposite, chatted for as long as they had eaten.
Li Xinke only thought in her heart, Zhang Jingxian only knew how to pull Sister Wanfu to talk, wouldn't she want to make Sister Wanfu hungry?
From sitting at the table to the end of a meal, Li Xinke didn't see what Sister Wanfu had eaten. I just chatted with Zhang Jingxian.
Jing Qianya took the dishes and chopsticks and went into the kitchen.
Li Xinke also heard that Zhang Jingxian was chatting with Ye Wanfu.
张婟娴 says:
"My parents are just looking forward to my aunt being able to cut off contact with Tu Wanguan earlier, and in the future, she will live like a normal person and be happy. But who would think, my aunt never listened to persuasion. ”
"This time, as soon as I heard that Tu Wanguan wanted to get a new camera, I was helping Tu Wanguan and borrowing money from my father. What did he say that he was bullied by a little girl, in the future, how can he do business in Yili County?"
Zhang Jing raised her eyebrows gracefully and said:
"You say, what Tu Wanguan said is ridiculous?"
Ye Wanfu glanced at Li Xinke awkwardly and did not answer Zhang Jingxian's question.
A trace of resentment flashed in Zhang Jingxian's eyes, and she said:
"You know that, too. Tu Wanguan asked our family to borrow money, and he always fed the dog with buns, and there was no return. No one in our family owes him, so he should give him money. Really. ”
Ye Wanfu hooked her lips awkwardly, and patiently listened to Zhang Jingxian for a while before asking softly:
"I said, Jingxian, you're going to work in a while, aren't you? Didn't you say that I would help you bring some gifts back to Zuojia? Then you should bring them early. ”
Zhang Jingxian listened, so she quickly stood up and went back to her dormitory to get a gift for Zhang Zuojia.
Waiting for Zhang Jingxian to leave Jing Qianya's dormitory, Li Xinke whispered to Ye Wanfu: "Let's take the car back by ourselves for a while, so as not to trouble Yan Jia and them again." ”
"Okay. Ye Wanfu nodded slightly and agreed.
Let's take a look at Professor Shu, and thank you in person, all of which made Professor Shu break the bank. And when they came over this time, they only brought some bacon and vegetables to Professor Shu, and they didn't bring any valuable gifts to Professor Shu.
When leaving, Ye Wanfu held two hundred yuan in his hand and quietly gave it to Professor Shu. But he didn't think about it, Professor Shu blocked Ye Wanfu back with both hands, and said:
"When people get together, they're friends. Among friends, why bother with all this? I know that Xinke's mother is sick and needs money. You better take them back sooner so that they can spend some time with their mothers. ”
After Professor Shu finished speaking, he looked at Shu Yuan, who was standing beside Yan Jia, and said with a smile:
"Yuan'er, please and Yan Jia to send your Wanfu sisters back on my behalf. Send them to Yili County Hospital......"
Shu Yuan and Yan Jia listened and both nodded in agreement.
Yan Jia stepped forward, took the shopping bag from Jing Qianya, and took Li Xinke and them to the car.
When I went back, Li Shanshan, Li Xinke, and Ye Wanfu were all sitting in the back of the car. The dress worn by Li Shanshan has two pockets.
Li Shanshan put two pieces of chocolate that Jing Qianya gave her in her left pocket.
But when Li Shanshan reached out and took out the chocolate, she found that there was an extra piece of chocolate in her pocket. When I opened it, I realized that the colored paper was wrapped in two hundred-dollar bills that had been simply folded in half.
Li Shanshan looked at the money she had placed in her palm and looked stunned. She grew so big, and the most pocket money she had ever had would not exceed fifty yuan.
That was when she followed her mother and sister to her aunt's house to pay New Year's greetings in the first month, and her aunt gave her New Year's money.
Usually, her grandparents, as well as her mother, would give her some pocket money. But it won't be more than twenty dollars. The adults just said that she was still young and didn't feel at ease with so much money on her.
This time, I don't know if it was Jing Qianya, or Shu Grandma I, who had peeled the grape skin for her, and gave her such two hundred yuan.
Li Shanshan saw Ye Wanfu looking at the scenery outside the car window, and didn't pay attention to her. She leaned close to Li Xinke's ear and said in a very soft voice:
"Sister, don't speak. I have something to tell you. ”
Li Xinke nodded, pointed to the money in Li Shanshan's hand, and asked in a low voice:
"You want to talk about this?"
"Hmm. We can't ask for money, we have to go back and give it back to them. Li Shanshan said apologetically:
"We ate at their house and left with so many gifts, how can we accept other people's money?"
Li Xinke heard this, and felt that her sister was very sensible, so she reached out and rubbed her sister's forehead and said, "It's okay." When I get out of the car in a while, I will naturally have a way to return the money to them. ”
As he spoke, he hurriedly glanced at Yan Jia, who was sitting in the front row, and thought to himself, he had to return the money to Yan Jia.
