Jiang Yan walked briskly through the alley.

Click!

There was a crisp and regular percussion sound.

Looking at the courtyard gate close at hand, Jiang Yan's body and mind relaxed slightly.

This one-day experience is really wonderful.

But it's also tiring.

Now, back to his temporary dwelling, his steps were unconsciously lighter.

Because of the battle just now, at this moment, Jiang Yan's right leg and trouser leg were torn into strands of rags.

"Hmm... Let's change our clothes first, and then go to Little Crane's house. Jiang Yan made up his mind.

After all, it would be rude for him to go to a neighbor's house in such a dress.

"Jiang... Brother Jiang, is that you?"

In the darkness, a familiar cry was heard.

Jiang Yan looked up, and not far away, a somewhat hazy petite figure was standing there.

"Little crane?"

He walked straight over.

"It's dark, why are you still wandering outside?"

"No... It's okay, I'm nearby, not far. The little crane lowered her head and replied in a low voice.

"Hmm. Jiang Yan looked down at the girl in front of him, this little girl was not tall, and it was estimated that she couldn't lift his chin with her feet.

He looked at the little girl, and a smile gradually appeared on his face, "Are you waiting for me?"

Jiang Yan asked directly.

When Xiao He'er heard this, her head lowered a little more, and Jiang Yan couldn't see her expression clearly.

I only heard her hum softly and whispered, "I'm afraid that something will happen to you, and you'll be late to come back." ”

"There was something wrong today, and I was delayed for some time. Jiang Yan explained.

Then he patted his trouser leg and made her look at it, "No, look, the trouser leg is broken." ”

Xiao He'er seemed to understand, and she whispered, "Brother Jiang's work seems to be very hard." ”

Doing a job, the pants are broken, in her understanding, it should be very hard work.

Belch...

It's not hard work, it's dangerous, and it's easy to gg when you encounter a big monster or a sudden disaster.

Of course, there is no way to say this to the little girl.

Jiang Yan shook his head, divided a part of the package in his hand, took three of them, and handed them to Xiao He'er.

"Take it, this is a gift for you and you, you happen to be here, I can save some effort. ”

Jiang Yan couldn't help but stuff it into her hand, not giving her a chance to refuse.

He's like that, he doesn't like to be humble back and forth.

I don't like that kind of hypocritical politeness either.

Xiao He'er silently held the heavy gift in her hand, and it seemed that she had not yet recovered from Jiang Yan's hard work.

After a while, she said softly, "Brother Jiang, if you don't, make stinky tofu with my father."

Although making stinky tofu is also hard and does not smell good, it is indeed a good job. ”

Stinky tofu?

The smile on Jiang Yan's face slowly faded, he was a little speechless, could it be that in Xiao He'er's eyes, he was so bad?

Also, you're a cheater, you know?

Your dad is because there are few people who make stinky tofu, and there is not much competition, so the profit is better than that of other industries.

One more person does this business, and the competition for his father will be greater.

"Well, I'll think about it. Jiang Yan replied casually, a little prevaricating.

He won't make stinky tofu, but he can't refuse it outright.

There is no way, if he doesn't answer like this, the little girl in front of him will probably have to find a way to persuade herself to make stinky tofu.

"And, that's... This?" the little crane raised her little hand and held up a small package, "Is this for me?"

Her voice was soft.

"Yes, it's just some ordinary rouge gouache, you ......" just said one sentence, Jiang Yan couldn't go on.

Because the little girl suddenly turned and ran away.

You won't be shy, will you?

......

After going home and quickly changing into clothes and dressing neatly, Jiang Yan came to Xiaohe'er's house next door.

Tuk tuk!

He tapped the knocker.

"I have to buy more clothes in the future, the night before yesterday, I ran the external work, and I broke my jacket, and tonight I did it casually, and scrapped my pants for another day, if I continue like this, I'm afraid I will soon have no clothes to wear......"

Think of it this way.

Squeak!

The door opened, revealing the face of Xiao He'er's father, Cui Nongcai.

"Brother Jiang is here, please!"

Jiang Yan arched his hand slightly, and said softly, "Brother Cui, I'm sorry." ”

"What is this, please ......"

The two entered the courtyard together, and Jiang Yan found that the courtyard of Cui Nongcai's house was a little larger than his small courtyard, and it was also cleaned up more neatly.

In Jiang Yan's courtyard, all kinds of green plants grow... Unrestrained, for flowers and plants, he always lets them grow freely.

There is a large table in the small courtyard, which can probably accommodate ** people to sit.

Is there anyone else?

Seeing Jiang Yan's doubts, Cui Nong explained, "I asked He'er to call the Zhang family brothers." ”

"Hmm!" Jiang Yan nodded, he was still thinking of finding an opportunity to have a separate banquet for the Zhang family brothers, but there was no need for this time.

It's just that he decided to give the two of them a gift, but at this moment, he really can't take it out immediately, and the occasion is not appropriate.

I can only give it secretly afterwards.

"By the way, Brother Jiang, thank you for the gift, I and He'er and his mother, we both like it very much, but it's too much for you. ”

Cui Nongcai thanked him seriously, and the things that Jiang Yan gave him and his wife were all high-quality, very precious, and expensive.

"Haha," Jiang Yan laughed, "It's good if you like it." ”

Yesterday he fainted in front of his house, and thanks to the neighbors who carried him into the house, he repaid the kindness of his neighbors, just a little money, and for Jiang Daqian Yan, it was just a number.

Bang!

The door was pushed open directly, and Zhang Si and Zhang Liu walked in.

Zhang Liu's voice was loud, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he shouted loudly, "Sister-in-law, don't make the whole dish, let's have some bar first." ”

"You know how to drink!"

Xiao He'er's mother is a somewhat pungent woman, in terms of personality, some cold and hot-hearted, at this moment she scolded Zhang Liu, and took wine for a few men present.

After a while, she served the last dish and served it with Little Crane.

The people of Guihua City are open, and there is no custom of different tables for men and women.

"Come on, let's get a few first. ”

Seeing the wine, Zhang Liu's whole person floated up, and frequently beckoned everyone to drink.

Jiang Yan raised his glass, touched it with everyone, and drank it all.

Although he hasn't lived here for a long time, he gets along well with his neighbors, and he hasn't encountered any bullying neighbors or anything like that.

In short, the life of Willow Lane is dull and quiet, even if it is troublesome, it is just some trivial things.

He likes this kind of life very much.

After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere at the table became lively.

However, it is more that the lady of the Cui family urges the Zhang brothers to get married soon.

Occasionally, the Zhang brothers also teased Jiang Yan and Xiao He'er.

In this case, Jiang Yan just poured a full bottle of wine and persuaded the Zhang brothers to drink with a smile.

He didn't say much, he only thought about getting these two bastards drunk fiercely.

The little crane lowered her head and said nothing.

In this way, the Zhang brothers finally got drunk.

It's time for this party to break up.

"Jiang Yan, Jiang Yan, what about our gifts? You can't favor one over the other, you know, but I moved you into the house, I used a lot of strength!"

Zhang Liuda shouted.

"Don't worry, Sixth Brother Zhang, they all have it, they all have it. ”

Jiang Yan's eyes were clear, his movements were calm, he held Zhang Liu's shoulder, and a honey smile appeared on his face.

"I think you'll like it. ”

......
