Chapter 22: Eating White Food
Xie Jinlan smiled and bowed slightly: "This official and Mo Yan will not be in the county office in the next few days, if Master Chen has something important, you can go to Li Daniu's house in Lijia Village to find this official." ”
When Master Chen heard this, his eyes widened slightly: "My lord wants to live in Li Daniu's house temporarily?" ”
Xie Jinlan raised his hand and gently patted Master Chen's shoulder:
"In the next period of time, all the affairs in the county government will have to worry a lot about Master Chen. However, in the past six months, the affairs of the county government have been properly handled by Master Chen, and the official believes that Master Chen has become accustomed to it. ”
Xie Jinlan said, and without waiting for Master Chen's reaction, he directly crossed him, and then walked towards the back door of the county office.
After leaving the county office, Xie Jinlan found a ready-to-wear shop and bought a few sets of well-fitting linen clothes.
Leaving the shop, carrying two burdens on his back, Xie Jinlan quickly found an ox cart that happened to go to Lijia Village.
After Xie Jinlan pasted a few copper plates as travel expenses, the middle-aged man who was driving happily drove Xie Jinlan back to Lijia Village.
When Xie Jinlan arrived at the entrance of Lijia Village in an ox cart, the sky was slightly dark.
After Ruan Yezhen said goodbye to him, she drifted away again.
Walking outside the door of Li Daniu's house, Xie Jinlan knocked lightly on the door: "Cousin-in-law, I'm back!" ”
In a few moments, someone came and opened the door.
Seeing the visitor, Xie Jinlan smiled and said, "You are Brother Da Niu, right?" I'm Jin Lan. ”
Li Daniu looked at Xie Jinlan expressionlessly, and then turned sideways slightly: "Come in." ”
After Xie Jinlan entered the house, Li Daniu turned around and closed the door and plugged in the deadbolt.
"Da Niu, is Jin Lan back?" At this time, Li Youcai's smiling voice came from the middle room.
With the sound of "squeak" opening the door, Mo Yan supported Li Youcai and slowly walked out of the house.
Xie Jinlan hurriedly greeted him, and then patted the burden on his shoulder: "Cousin-in-law, look, I listened to you and came back with my luggage." ”
Li Youcai nodded happily: "Okay, okay, I've asked Da Niu to clean up the house." Tonight, you and the two brothers Mo Yan will live in. ”
When the words fell, he couldn't help but cough lightly.
Li Daniu hurriedly stepped forward and patted Li Youcai's back, frowning slightly: "Dad, you take it easy and be careful with your body." ”
Li Youcai waved his hand, and then slowly stopped coughing: "This is not the first time, I'm used to it, why are you still making such a fuss?" Can't die anyway. ”
Xie Jinlan accosted him very disapprovingly: "Cousin-in-law, don't you say these words again, doesn't this make Brother Niu feel even more uncomfortable?" ”
Li Youcai was happy in his heart, but there was a look of disgust on his face: "Okay, okay, I can't talk about you young people." ”
Then he looked at Li Da Niu: "Da Niu, it's so late, go cook quickly." ”
"Mo Yan, you go and help Brother Da Niu. It's not good for us to eat and live in my cousin's house. ”
Xie Jinlan said, and took Li Youcai from Mo Yan's hand.
Li Da Niu glared at Xie Jinlan with a threatening look, and then lowered his voice and said to Li Youcai: "Dad, then you go back to the house first, and I'll call you when dinner is ready." ”
Li Youcai looked impatient: "Go quickly, go quickly." With that, with Xie Jinlan's support, he slowly returned to the house.
As soon as Li Youcai left, Li Daniu saw that Mo Yan's eyes were not eyes, and his nose was not nose.
Without saying a word, Li Daniu crossed the ink inkstone and walked towards the kitchen.
Mo Yan didn't care, and followed behind him with a smile: "Brother Da Niu, if there is anything you need me to do, you just say it, don't be polite to me." ”
Li Daniu paused, turned around and glanced at Mo Yan with disgust, then retracted his gaze and continued to walk towards the kitchen.
Mo Yan touched his nose a little helplessly and followed his steps.
"You go wash those things."
As soon as he entered the kitchen, Li Daniu raised his hand and pointed to the corner, and without waiting for Mo Yan to react, he got busy with himself.
Mo Yan didn't complain, and responded with a smile.
Let's talk about Xie Jinlan's side.
After entering the house, Li Youcai gently patted Xie Jinlan's hand: "Jin Lan, don't mind your big brother's attitude." Although he looks a little fierce, he is just straight and has no bad intentions. ”
Although Li Daniu tried his best to hide his attitude of not waiting to see Xie Jinlan and Mo Yan in front of Li Youcai.
But knowing the son is better than the father.
In addition, Li Daniu is originally a straight temper, where can he hide his thoughts?
Xie Jinlan shook his head indifferently: "Cousin-in-law, it's okay. I can understand Brother Niu's feelings. These two people who eat white food for no reason can't be happy for anyone. ”
Li Youcai glared at Xie Jinlan dissatisfied: "What do you eat white food?" I'm going to keep you two here!" ”
When the words fell, he couldn't help coughing again.
Xie Jinlan hurriedly patted him lightly on the back: "Yes, yes, cousin-in-law, you are right, I said the wrong thing." Don't be angry. ”
Li Youcai was satisfied, and his cough gradually weakened.
......
As soon as he was on the dinner table, Li Youcai began to serve Xie Jinlan and Mo Yan dishes:
"Jin Lan, this is the mushroom that your big bull brother picked from the mountain yesterday, but it's fresh."
"Mo Yan, come on, come on, you can try it quickly."
But as soon as he said two words, Li Youcai couldn't help but put down his chopsticks, turned his face sideways and coughed gently.
Xie Jinlan immediately stood up and came to Li Youcai's side, patted him on the back, and showed concern: "Cousin-in-law, I will come with Mo Yan by myself, you take care of yourself." ”
It wasn't until Li Youcai eased his cough that Xie Jinlan returned to his place and sat down.
Li Youcai didn't want to eat a meal, and he wanted a few people to take care of his body. This will only make everyone feel uneasy. So after that, he didn't say anything anymore.
Li Daniu didn't like Xie Jinlan and Mo Yan in the first place, let alone expect him to say anything.
After this meal, it was very quiet.
After the meal, after Mo Yan helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks, he accompanied Li Youcai around the yard.
Li Daniu was decocting medicine in the kitchen, and Xie Jinlan followed aside.
Seeing that Li Da Niu didn't care about himself at all, Xie Jinlan took the lead in opening his mouth: "Brother Da Niu, do you have any misunderstanding between me and Mo Yan?" ”
Li Daniu snorted from his nose: "What misunderstanding can there be?" Isn't it just two relatives who can't beat the eight poles to come to the house to eat and drink for nothing? ”
Xie Jinlan blushed with some embarrassment:
"Brother Niu, I know that it was me and Mo Yan who caused trouble to your family. Don't worry, if our brothers have a future in the future, they will not forget the good things you and your cousin-in-law! ”
Li Daniu pursed his lips, rolled his eyes, and didn't believe it at all: "I just hope that after you two brothers learn my craft, don't rob me of the job when the time comes, I'll thank God." ”
