Dong Lin saw that Han Tuo was about to take a cup, so he stopped him, "Don't be busy yet, I'm not thirsty yet, aren't Zhao Yunfei's parents at home?" ”

Han Tuo was stunned for a moment, looked back at Xiao Ji, who was concentrating on watching cartoons, then pulled a small square stool and sat down, and moved the stool to Dong Lin's side, before he whispered: "Now Zhao Yunfei has only two brothers and sisters in his family, Zhao Yunfei's father was killed by the collapsed house in the year of the earthquake, and her mother went to work in other provinces, I don't know what happened, and there has been no news for several years." ”

Although it was only a few words, Dong Lin was completely shocked, and his mind was a little confused for a while, and it took a long time to come to his senses.

"The year of the earthquake? 2008? How old were the siblings at that time? Dong Lin asked with wide eyes, a look of surprise on his face.

"How old? I'll do the math, zero eight, zero nine" Han Tuo counted with his fingers, and said after calculating: "Zhao Yunfei is about eight years old, no, nine years old, anyway, he is eight or nine years old, Xiao Ji is even younger, and he just knows how to walk." ”

"Eight, nine years old? So how have their brothers and sisters lived in recent years? Don't they have relatives? Dong Lin frowned slightly, his eyes staring at Han Tuo without blinking.

Being stared at like this by the beautiful woman, Han Tuo felt nervous and shy, and replied with a red face: "Hey, after eating the last meal and looking for the next meal, just make do with it, relatives have the difficulties of relatives, one year Xiao Ji was hospitalized with pneumonia and needed money, Zhao Yunfei went to his uncle's house to borrow money and didn't lend it, he almost went to sell blood." ”

Dong Lin's heart tightened for a while, although she knew that the matter had passed, she still couldn't help but ask, "What happened later?" ”

"Later? Later, Li Lanfang's father was the one in front," Han Tuo pointed to Li Lanfang's house and continued, "Li Lanfang's father gave the medical expenses, but Zhao Yunfei went to the brick factory to load a car to earn money and slowly paid back the money owed. ”

Dong Lin, who has never done heavy physical work, of course, doesn't know what the concept of loading a car for a day in a brick factory is, but she also understands that if a child does adult work, especially heavy physical work, that kind of hardship, that kind of tiredness, I am afraid that ordinary children are unbearable, many children in the city are still lying in their mother's arms when they are eight or nine years old, but Zhao Yunfei has to use his immature shoulders to earn money to pay off debts, and also to raise his young sister - what kind of childhood is this!

"Didn't they apply for the subsistence allowance?" Dong Lin stabilized his uncalm mood a little and asked.

"DEBO? What is DEEBOT? What kind of treasure is DEEBOT? Han Tuo asked with a puzzled expression.

Hearing Han Tuo's question, Dong Lin's kind and weak heart instantly collapsed

Zhao Yunfei carried a hoe into the alley, and saw a magnificent white off-road vehicle parked in front of his house, Li Lanfang followed behind Zhao Yunfei, and also saw the car, and couldn't help but praise: "What a beautiful car!" ”

Zhao Yunfei has no feeling for cars, firstly, because he knows nothing about cars, and secondly, he feels that this thing is too far away from him, and it is already a very big luxury for him to be able to buy a bicycle.

Entering the courtyard, Zhao Yunfei leaned his hoe under the eaves, Li Lanfang had already entered the house, and she was eager to take a closer look at the woman who was called a big beauty by Han Tuo.

"Elegant temperament, flawless jade!" The moment Li Lanfang entered the house, she saw Dong Lin's face up close, and came to this conclusion in her heart, even if she was picky with a slightly hostile eye, she couldn't find anything wrong with the other party's face in the end, that kind of beauty is really unforgiving.

Dong Lin stood up when he saw Zhao Yunfei enter the yard, Zhao Yunfei followed Li Lanfang into the house, Dong Lin generously stretched out his hand and said: "Zhao Yunfei, hello, I am Dong Lin, I came here today to express my gratitude to you, that day in order to save me and my sister broke your TV, I think our sisters have the responsibility to compensate you for a new one." ”

Zhao Yunfei turned his head to look at the brand-new large color TV on the table, even if he was not a person who liked luxury, he couldn't help but light up, and the table where the TV was placed looked small and broken against the backdrop of the TV.

Zhao Yunfei said politely: "It's too expensive!" ”

Li Lanfang looked around, quietly pulled Han Tuo's sleeve, and asked in his ear, "Why isn't the driver in the house?" ”

"The driver of the car? I just got the TV up and left. Han Tuo said in a loud voice.

Li Lanfang glared at him with disgust, and whispered, "Why are you so loud?" I'm not deaf again, the driver is gone, so how can she go back? ”

Only then did Han Tuo understand that Li Lanfang was not asking the driver who delivered the goods, and he was afraid of being blinded by Li Lanfang again, so he lowered his voice and explained: "She drove by herself." ”

"This woman can drive a car?" Li Lanfang was a little shocked in her heart, and there were some indescribable feelings, it should be envy and jealousy.

"Of course, people are driving in style, I saw it with my own eyes!" Han Tuo's face was proud, as if the woman who could drive a car was his daughter-in-law, you must know that there is a fundamental difference between men looking at women and women looking at women.

Zhao Yunfei exchanged a few words with Dong Lin, and saw that she didn't mean to leave immediately, so he stood up and said, "I'll go boil some boiling water and make you a cup of tea." ”

Dong Lin didn't stop him, he also stood up, and said with a smile: "Okay, you boil water, I'll go to the yard for a walk!" ”

When Han Tuo heard this, he understood it very well: "It seems that this Sister Lin is going to stay for dinner!" Thinking of this, he walked out of Zhao Yunfei's house with his legs pulled out.

It was half past ten in the morning, and Li Lanfang, who was watching TV with Xiao Ji in the house, turned her head from time to time to glance at Dong Lin, who was walking around in the yard at will, and nagged in her heart: "This woman is really, if you don't leave quickly after sending the TV, what are you wandering around!" ”

Zhao Yunfei didn't think about it so much, whoever came was a guest, and he must be entertained well, which was taught to him by his father since he was a child.

The water was boiling, Zhao Yunfei poured the boiling water into the kettle, took out a large white lacquer enamel jar from the house, poured some boiling water to warm it first, so that it was easy to brew the tea leaves, and then put the tea leaves and fill it with water, and then cover it with a lid.

Dong Lin strolls in the yard casually, the fresh air, the quiet courtyard, although it may look a little poor and shabby, but it seems particularly simple and natural - everything in the farm yard is so fresh and interesting for her.

Dong Lin sneaked to the pigsty first and looked at the sleeping pig, the smell of the pigsty made her frown, but after smelling it again, the smell didn't seem to be so annoying, but revealed a fragrance of grass.

To the south of the yard is a row of straight poplar trees with straight trunks and lush foliage, and when the wind blows, the leaves swing and make a rattling sound.

Dong Lin suddenly found that the bark of a poplar tree in the middle was very smooth, but the bark of other poplars was very rough, this row of poplars was obviously the same species, but that poplar tree was obviously different from other poplars, Dong Lin was very strange, pointed to the poplar tree and asked Zhao Yunfei, who was making tea: "Why is the bark of this tree so smooth?" Do you have baby monkeys at home that climb up and down this tree all day long? ”
