The village chief's daughter-in-law looked at Zhang Lao for a long time, and walked in front of him to look carefully.

"Elder Zhang, Elder Zhang, why are you back?"

The words of the village chief's daughter-in-law made Zhang Lao's face instantly frost, tied the cloth bag tightly, threw it on the kang vigorously, looked at the village chief's daughter-in-law and said:

"I'm not coming back, I'm still dead outside!"

This tone, this expression, and the kind old man just now are almost like two people, Cheng Xiaodong was dumbfounded on the side, couldn't help shrinking his neck, and hid behind Cheng Qian.

The village chief's daughter-in-law waved her hand awkwardly, looked at Zhang Lao with a smile and shook her head and said: "No, look at where you said, I didn't mean that, a few years ago, Fuqiang Village said that you died in a foreign country, and we all thought it was ......."

The village chief's daughter-in-law didn't finish her words, and closed her mouth in a daze at the frosty eyes of the old man.

Zhang Lao carried the cloth bag, glared at her, and walked out directly without looking back.

Cheng Xiaodong didn't know why, he was chased out by Cheng Qian's arm.

Zhang Lao's pace was light, Cheng Qian chased after him for a while before catching up, and Cheng Xiaodong, who was still carrying an oil bottle by his side, couldn't go fast if he wanted to.

"Elder Zhang, don't be angry, it's time to get to the door, let's have a meal and then leave."

Cheng Qian pointed to his home in front of him, looked at Zhang Lao and said.

Zhang Lao stopped and sighed towards Cheng Qian, his face gradually softened, and there seemed to be coolness in his eyes.

"You didn't tell me that it was his family before you came, if I knew it was his child, I wouldn't have come to anything!"

Cheng Qian nodded again and again, saying that he knew that he knew, and raised his hand to pull Zhang Lao to his house, but Zhang Lao waved his hand, and excused himself on the grounds that there was something at home, so he didn't follow.

Standing at the entrance of the village and looking at Zhang Lao's back, Cheng Qian sighed, this old Zhang's stubborn temper, no one can say that he can't move, he doesn't want to come to dinner, even if he kneels down for him, it's useless.

"Dad, this grandpa was so scary just now."

Watching Zhang Lao walk away, Cheng Xiaodong slowly breathed a sigh of relief, stood next to Cheng Qian and said.

Cheng Qian touched Cheng Xiaodong's head, didn't say anything, turned around and walked home.

Cheng Xiaodong walked to the door of the house, suddenly thought of something, turned around and entered Cai Dani's house.

"Auntie, where's Dani?"

Seeing Cai Dani's mother tending to vegetables in the vegetable garden, Cheng Xiaodong walked to the edge of the garden, leaned on the wall and looked at her and asked.

"Where's the back room?"

There is nothing else, the old neighbors are too familiar with each other, and they don't follow Cheng Xiaodong to the outside world, and pointed to the small room inside with a finger full of dirt.

Cheng Xiaodong answered and ran towards the inner room, opened the door curtain, looked at the deadbolt of the inner room, and through the crack in the door, saw Cai Dani lying on the kang, motionless, as if asleep.

"Cai Dani, Cai Dani, open the door."

Cheng Xiaodong patted the wooden door, saw Cai Dani on the kang moving from the crack in the door, and then called twice, Cai Dani sat up, rubbed her eyes, jumped off the kang, didn't even wear shoes, and opened the door for Cheng Xiaodong with bare feet.

"Why are you here?"

When Cai Dani spoke, she yawned, jumped slightly, and sat on the edge of the kang again.

"Why are you still asleep, your heart is so big!"

Cheng Xiaodong looked at her like nothing and began to count her.

Cai Dani quickly looked outside after Cheng Xiaodong's reminder, pulled Cheng Xiaodong's arm and made a silent gesture, and kept waving her hand.

Cheng Xiaodong knew what she meant, but it didn't work, after all, she was hurt, and she had to give someone an explanation, at least she had to come to the door to apologize.

"Go to the village chief's house and apologize to Lantian Tiantian."

"I'm not going!"

Cai Dani's face twisted to the other side, and her face was more ugly than just now.
