Chapter 12 Like an Old Man Comes

After eating, Qiao Lan also packed a snack and returned to the inn for supper. With no worries about the future, she began to think about the way forward. If she just wants to be a small person in the market, three thousand taels is enough for her to maintain the most basic life until she is old and retire to the end, but such an empty life is definitely not what she wants, of course, she can continue to find a way to pawn her Baoshan, but what is the difference between this and the rice worm that sits on the empty mountain, there is no way before, and she can't take that step until she is forced to do so. Qiao Lan's eyes lit up a raging fire: when rice worms are shameful!! life is alive, you have to have a business, and take the road of sustainable development.

In fact, what Qiao Lan is most afraid of is that she will lose her fighting spirit.

Shinong industry and commerce, the highest status of scholars, the lowest lowly merchants. I don't have my share unless I marry into an official family. It's too hard to be a farmer, and I don't know how to farm at all. There is no skill. In fact, business is the most suitable for me. I am Hua Yongzhi's granddaughter, and if I don't want to become the richest man in the country, it is not impossible to become the richest man in Lishan County. People who dislike businessmen, except for those so-called upper-class people, everyone else can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour. Let a peasant who can't eat and wear no warmth abandon his identity and become a lowly merchant who wears gold and silver, he must be happy.

Qiao Lan's thoughts gradually dissipated, and she was about to fall asleep, and suddenly, as if she had thought of something, a spirit sat up, and disappeared into the curtain of the bed after being silent for a while.

In the space, Qiao Lan sat cross-legged, with a notebook, a cloth bag containing rice, and two sweet potatoes in front of her.

Qiao Lan meditated for a long time like an old monk before disappearing into the space again.

The next day, as soon as the morning dawned, Qiao Lan woke up, she cleaned up, and was about to go to Yipinxian to buy meat buns, and then go to the appointed place to wait for Xie Jinbao, just out of the door of the inn, she saw Yu Dana not far away, and looked at him with a haggard face, with dew on his body, as if he had been waiting all night.

Yang Yingfeng is tall and often goes to the gym, Qiao Lan didn't have a chance to see his abdominal muscles, but he definitely had it, and Yu Dana had Yang Yingfeng's height, but he didn't have his physique, and he was quite thin.

Qiao Lan didn't speak, as if she didn't see Yu Dana, and walked slowly to Yipinxian on West Street. She wears a hat, the hanging down mesh blocks her face, if she wears a little shabby, it doesn't matter if she doesn't wear a hat, the poor don't pay attention to those, if she dresses a little brighter, she has to go out with a girl, like these days a person lives in a guest house, a person comes here and there, it is definitely not good, people who don't know each other have to say a few words, this is class.

Qiao Lan walked into Yipin Pavilion, and Yu Dana hesitated for a moment and followed. In fact, she wanted to find a place where no one would disturb her to talk to Yu Dana, but it was easy to gossip when a lonely man and a widow were in the same room, so Qiao Lan did not enter the box, but did it in yesterday's private seat, it was still too early at this time, and there was no one in Yipinge, so she was careful not to be afraid of being heard.

Qiao Lan took off her hat and looked at Yu Dana, she was a little nervous and didn't know what he would say to herself in the first sentence, would she imply that he was Yang Yingfeng? Will you remind him that he is also crossing over? Will you ask yourself about her grandfather's current situation? Qiao Lan has a lot of guesses, but unfortunately, she was disappointed, Yu Dana stood respectfully a few steps away from the seat, and then took out his deed of sale and handed it to Qiao Lan.

"......" Qiao Lan worked very hard to observe Yu Dana to see if there were any flaws, but no, although he still did not bend down, although the arrogance in his eyes remained unchanged, but Yu Dana was just Yu Dana, not the unruly and brilliant Yang Yingfeng.

In fact, after seeing Yu Dana's downfall, Qiao Lan understood that Yu Dana was not Yang Yingfeng, if Yu Dana had Yang Yingfeng's soul, how could he live so miserably, not to mention Pengcheng Wanli, it is the least that she is unwilling, she is too lonely, too eager to have such a person who can understand her situation, support her decision, and help her go on.

Xiao Er brought up the ten meat buns ordered by Qiao Lan, adhering to the service tenet of not seeing and listening to incivility, and retreated with great vision.

Qiao Lan didn't take the deed, she poured herself a cup of tea in order to hide her irrepressible disappointment and loneliness.

"The money was not used to buy you. ”

"There is no reason not to give the goods after receiving the money. Yu Dana said categorically.

"You sold yourself for twenty-five taels of silver, and I only gave fifteen taels, so it was not for you, it was for you. ”

"So the girl owes me ten taels. The tall and thin man hesitated for a moment and then added, "Or I will write a new deed and sell myself for ten years in fifteen taels." ”

"......", this is obviously Yang Yingfeng's style, he is so meticulous at all times. "You think I pity you? I don't pity you, I can't even pity myself, how can I pity you, I admire you, that's why I gave you money. ”

"......" Yu Dana didn't speak, but it was obvious that Qiao Lan's words made him very confused.

"Some people say that you are stupid and put yourself in it for your daughter, in fact, you can marry another wife and have a few more children, but you don't, I respect your heart for your family, so I want to help you. You deserve it, you don't have to really put yourself on it. "The real reason is Yang Yingfeng, of course Qiao Lan won't say it, and no one will believe it.

"No need, the eldest husband is hard to chase after him. "Yu Dana, like Yang Yingfeng, is an extremely stubborn person. At the beginning, Hua Yongzhi felt that being his assistant buried him, and wanted him to go to the branch to be the general manager, but he refused, no matter how he said it, he just stood behind Hua Yongzhi for ten years.

"Have you inquired about me?"

"Know a little. ”

"I don't know how much you know, I am the eldest daughter of the second eldest of the Chen family in Qingshan Village, and I was divorced by the Huang family a few days ago in a sedan chair, and then the Chen family didn't want me anymore. I am now nameless and penniless, and I don't know how to go down the road below, you say, how can I accept your identity deed like this?" Qiao Lan explained her situation to Yu Dana one by one, and her tone was unusually calm, flat and straightforward. Explain his situation and inventory, in addition to testing whether he is sincere with himself, he also wants him to be mentally prepared.

If Yu Dana followed his heart to find the fifteen taels of silver at the beginning, then now, he really wants to follow the little girl in front of him, obviously it is shameful to sell himself into slavery, obviously the girl in front of him is only thirteen years old, although she is dressed decently, but the traces of poor life have not been removed, and she has not done anything, just a small village girl, but there is a convincing power, which inexplicably makes him feel enthusiastic and wants to follow her. "If you're like this, you should have accepted my deed. You're in need of a helping hand right now. ”

"Forehead ......" I have to say that Yu Dana hit with one blow and poked Qiao Lan's weakness.

Last night, Qiao Lan remembered what the darts runners said before going to bed, and the thought that she had not caught when she was holding the small bag of rice appeared very clearly in her mind, giving her a bold idea for the future, but she is not only a woman who is prejudiced in the world, but also a woman who is only thirteen years old, so she lacks people, and the people who can use it are best to take a top ten person. She hoped to look forward to Yang Yingfeng's appearance, but she was disappointed, Yu Dana was just Yu Dana, not Yang Yingfeng. Now, Yu Dana told her in Yang Yingfeng's tone and expression that he could be her helper, Qiao Lan's heart was moved, Yu Dana did not have Yang Yingfeng's memory, but maybe their souls were connected. Yang Yingfeng is her grandfather's gold medal assistant, so Yu Dana can also become her own gold medal assistant.

"Tell me about you. "Rub, how did it look like an interview. Qiao Lan silently despised herself.

"I ...... I'm living with my daughter now. Girl...... Call Yu Xiaodie ......" Yu Dana stopped after saying the above two sentences, and looked at Qiao Lan, meaning that his situation was finished, seeing that Qiao Lan was still looking at him as if signaling him to continue, he added, "She is seven years old ......."

Qiao Lan almost laughed, because Yang Yingfeng was also like this, when he talked about work, he was meticulous and organized, but as soon as he talked about his own business, he stumbled and was slimy.

Qiao Lan began to enter the Q&A session with Yu Dana, and after a painstaking conversation, she basically understood Yu Dana's situation, and speaking of which, he was even more pitiful than herself.

The Yu family is in Taohua Village to the north of Wuli Town, and the ancestors left dozens of acres of land, and life is also relaxed, until thirteen years ago, Yu Dana's grandfather Yu Guangcai went out to run business and brought back a happy woman, who was very spoiled, and made Yu Dana's grandmother angry to death, and then the woman became Yu Dana's stepgrandmother, and gave birth to two sons and a daughter. Eight years ago, Yu Dana's parents were hacked to death with knives in order to protect their family. Two years ago, Yu Dana's grandfather begged Yu Dana to go to the family's quota, Yu Dana's thirteen-year-old son Yu Zhengqing secretly went to the family's quota, and Yu Dana knew that it was too late, and later, the news of his son's death came back, and his frail and sick wife soon went.

There are many situations that are not carefully asked, and Qiao Lan can guess one or two. "You sold yourself, how can your grandfather explain?"

"I have paid back what I should have paid, and I have given what I shouldn't have given. When Yu Dana said this, his eyes were unusually firm, indicating that he and the family had returned to the bridge and the road.

There were gradually many people in Yipinxian, Qiao Lan took the deed in Yu Da's hand, and then handed him a silver ticket.

Looking at the silver ticket handed to him, Yu Dana was shocked, the silver ticket is a very remarkable thing in his cognition, much more valuable than silver, the family is a step-grandmother who holds the money, he has never had any money in his hand, the most money he has handled was yesterday, the new master asked him to give him fifteen taels, and now the new master gave him so much money at once, which made him helpless, "Too ...... Too much...... Only, only ten taels. ”

"It's not all for you. For the rest, you can help me rent a one-entry or two-entry house, rent it in your name, it doesn't matter if it's a little bit, rent it for a year or two first. After renting it, you and your daughter Die'er will live in first, and help me take care of it. After renting...... You tell the address to Aunt Ji, who sells wontons at the bazaar, and I will go over to find you. ”

"Ahh Slave ......" Yu Dana hurriedly reached over with trembling hands to take the silver ticket, but when he got it, Qiao Lan put the silver ticket back in his pocket, and then said very seriously, "In front of me, you will never have to call yourself a slave, this is the privilege I give you." ”

"......" Yu Dana looked at Qiao Lan, and found that she was serious, and her mood became infinitely complicated, there was no need to call herself a slave, he was a hundred, a thousand were willing, but he had never heard of a master who was so kind to his subordinates, "For... Why ......"

"I don't know, let's just think it's the cause and effect of the previous life. Qiao Lan put the silver ticket in Yu Da's hand, wrapped three large meat buns for him, and then slowly walked out of Yipin Xian with her meat buns.
