053 Borrow a lantern
Yun Fang diverged from the conversation, Dashan also forgot about the strange mother and son for a while, he also sat on the car behind Yun Fang, and shouted, "Yes, this delay, the sky looks completely dark, let's go, hurry up and go home." ”
"Howler. The little stone agreed, and with a sharp leap, got into the chariot, picked up the whip, and prepared to drive the carriage.
However, before the little stone could shake the whip, the voice from the corner of the wall, which was not completely unfamiliar, said, "Wait, don't go yet, wait a minute." ”
"It's you,......" Xiao Shi looked at the young man who had gone and returned, frowned vigilantly, and asked cautiously, "Is there anything else you have to do?"
"Oh, don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand," the young man called 'Rong'er' raised the lantern in his hand, but it was in the direction of Yun Fang, and explained urgently, "Seeing that the sky is completely dark, and the mountain road is not easy to walk, I have sent you a lantern, and it is more convenient to shine on the road." ”
Seeing her son like this, he couldn't help but turn to one side slightly, intentionally or unintentionally blocking his sister Yunfang's body, and said in disbelief, "Is what you said true?
"That's not what my mother meant," said the young man generously in the face of the guarded mountain, "My mother is busy at home with a large family's dinner." It was I who looked at the sky and thought that you were pulling a cart of radishes, and knew that you would definitely not be willing to invite you to my house for one night, so I took a lantern on my own initiative. ”
"You, what you said is true, it's as simple as that?" Dashan rolled his eyes and asked in a low voice again uncertainly.
The young man who was affectionately called 'Rong'er' by his mother swept his feet, as if he wanted to look through the mountain blocking him, just like talking to Yun Fang, he paused for a moment and explained seriously, "Your Songpotun is not too far away from our Li Zigou, and your father often comes to us to pan kang, and you come here to change radishes." We, we are also villagers, now you are in a hurry after dark, I will lend you a lantern, and you can return it when you are free, my name is Li Jinrong, and everyone in the village knows me. ”
Yun Fang quickly calculated in his heart, what the man said was also the truth, no matter how late it was, their brothers and sisters would definitely rush home, although Songpotun was not very far away, but there were rugged mountain roads all the way, with this illuminated lantern, there would be an extra layer of security in safety.
No matter what the purpose of this person is, at least for his current brothers and sisters, it can be regarded as a relief in the snow, and if he politely refuses, it will be too petty.
Yun Fang pondered and understood, Dashan also thought of the problem in front of him, he jumped out of the car with both hands, took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand to take the lantern, and sincerely thanked him and said, "Brother Li Jinrong, I Lan Dashan remembered, I will definitely return your lantern, thank you so much today." ”
"Brother Dashan is too polite," Li Jinrong raised his hand with a smile and said calmly, "It's just a matter of raising hands, we are not far apart, and it is appropriate to help each other." It's getting late, you guys hurry up, the family should be in a hurry. ”
"People here say so, it's your brother Jinrong who has extended this hand, and I, Lan Dashan, remember it. As he spoke, Dashan imitated the movements in the play and arched his hand at Li Jinrong, "Brother, we will meet later." ”
"There will be a period later. Li Jinrong also responded with a smile, waved his hand, and nodded lightly at Yun Fang with the help of turning around, and then turned around the foot of the wall without looking back, and went home.
"Good man, what a kind person, we are lucky to meet a good person today. Dashan got the lantern, and he had long forgotten Li Jinrong's bad attitude, he said with emotion, while handing the lantern into Yun Fang's hands, he supported the car with both hands, and jumped up hard.
"Alright, Brother Shi, let's go. Yun Fang held up the lantern, her heart seemed to be much brighter, and she shouted crisply at the position of the wheel in front of her.
"Okay, let's go home. Xiao Shi agreed with a clear voice, and shook the horsewhip with his direction to home and his attachment to his family.
Lizigou is a big village, much larger than Songpotun, Rao is Yunfang and they drove the carriage, or walked a quarter of an hour before they arrived at the other end of the village.
Before he left the entrance of the village, Xiaoshi saw two figures not far in front of him, and one of them was waving his arm desperately at them.
"Young man, young man of the Lan family, stop, you stop. ”
It was the lady who met at the market, and it was also the lady who suggested that they come to Lizigou to sell dried radish. Xiao Shi was grateful to this lady who met in Pingshui, and when he heard her greeting, he whistled and shouted that the carriage stopped.
At this time, Da Shan, who was sitting on the back car, also saw the person beckoning in front of him, he turned to Yun Fang and said, "Fang'er, this is the lady we met in the market, if it weren't for her idea, we wouldn't be able to sell so many dried radish, and we wouldn't be able to exchange such a large cart of radish." ”
"This lady is really our nobleman," Yun Fang said softly, "We still have some dried radishes left, let's give it to others to express our gratitude later." ”
"I and the stone left her out at the beginning, but I didn't see her come out just now, and this time it was just right, and I always thought about this in my heart. As Dashan spoke, he and Yun Fang jumped out of the car and walked over to meet the two figures who came up.
Waiting for them at the entrance of the village was the kind lady, who was accompanied by a young man in his twenties, wrapped in a cotton jacket of black cloth, and carrying a small burden of the same black cloth behind her.
As she walked, the eldest lady said, "I heard the sound of horses' hooves from afar, so I guessed that you had just left, so I just asked you to get on the big lock for a while, and save him two steps." ”
"Auntie, we've been looking for you, why didn't you go to us just now, we still kept you radish strips. Dashan quickly finished speaking, turned around and beckoned, "Stone, hand me the radish strips we left for the eldest lady." ”
"What do you say," the old lady waved her hand again and again, and said embarrassedly, "I'm afraid that you guys are like this, so you haven't been at home all this time." I'm calling you this time, not for this. ”
As the eldest mother spoke, she pushed the big lock forward, and explained directly, "There are many brothers in the big lock family, and his father and mother didn't save anything, so they sent this child to fight in the quarry, and I came home at noon today to get some things, and I must rush back at night, I know that your brothers and sisters drove by the path to the quarry, in order to save this child some steps, this is what I call you."
"We all know that the eldest lady is a kind-hearted person, otherwise she wouldn't have refused to show up at noon," Yun Fang said with a smile, "But, you have helped us so much, my brothers and I are worried about it, this radish strip is sincerely given to you, otherwise I will be known by my father and mother when I go back, and I will be reprimanded." ”
As Yun Fang spoke, she handed over the lantern, took the porcelain bowl full of dried radishes handed over by the small stone, and stuffed it into the old lady's rough hand.
Brought the dried radish so quickly, it can be seen that they are not lying, they have indeed prepared it a long time ago, the old lady nodded with emotion, "They are all benevolent and righteous children, Brother Lan is benevolent and righteous, and the children taught are also so benevolent and righteous, so that my wife and son don't know what to say." ”
The old lady was holding the bowl of radish strips, in a dilemma, not to receive, not to receive, she inadvertently turned her head, saw the big lock on the side, suddenly had an idea, and said with a smile, "That's good, I got your heart, Auntie, the big lock is going to the quarry to sell coolies, the salt is less boring, let him take this bowl of radish strips." ”
