Xie Jinlan shook his head and said with a smile: "I understand your kindness, but I still have something to do in a while." ”

When Zhang heard this, his face suddenly bloomed, as if he was afraid that Xie Jinlan would regret it, and hurriedly said: "Since there is something, you should leave quickly, it will not be good if it is delayed." ”

Ruan Yezhen, who was on the side, glared at Zhang, and then looked at Xie Jinlan: "This Aunt Li doesn't even pretend to be a person, as if she is afraid that you won't be able to see it, and she won't be willing to keep you." ”

Xie Jinlan raised his feet and walked out of the kitchen, as if casually glancing at the jujube tree.

Immediately, he paused, turned around and looked at Zhang, looking like he wanted to say something.

Zhang's heart was suddenly raised: "Young man, what else do you have to do?" ”

Xie Jinlan scratched his head a little embarrassed, raised his foot and walked a few steps to Zhang's side, and raised his hand to point to the jujube tree in the corner of the backyard: "I've loved eating dates since I was a child, auntie, can I pick a few and take them away?" ”

As if afraid of being misunderstood, Xie Jinlan hurriedly added: "Don't worry, auntie, I won't take it for nothing!" It's just that...... It's just that I only have five copper plates on me now. ”

Xie Jinlan said, took out a worn-out purse from his arms, opened it and poured it on the table, and the five copper plates suddenly fell on the table with a clang.

Zhang's eyes quickly put the copper plate on his side, and after putting it in his arms, he looked at Xie Jinlan with a smile:

"Why are you so polite, young man? If you like it, you can pick the dates, don't be polite to me! ”

Xie Jinlan suddenly showed gratitude: "Then thank you Auntie." ”

Zhang smiled: "Young man, don't always call me a big mother, it's a lot of life." If you don't dislike it, just call me an aunt. ”

Xie Jinlan scratched his head with a slightly red face: "Auntie." ”

Zhang Shile responded: "Hey! Then I'll call you Jinlan from now on. ”

Xie Jinlan nodded shyly: "Auntie, if you like it, then I'll go pick dates first." ”

Zhang waved his hand very happily: "Go!" ”

When Xie Jinlan heard this, he turned around and strode away in the direction of the jujube tree, looking a little impatient.

Li Tiezhu frowned slightly and looked at Zhang: "Mother, that date is not worth much." Even if they were all picked up and sold, they would be worth two or three copper plates. Aren't you a pit man? ”

Zhang's was instantly dissatisfied: "Why am I cheating?" It's Jin Lan's young man who is willing to give so much! He doesn't understand the market himself, do you blame me? ”

Li Tiegen also accosted on the side: "Yes, big brother, someone sent money to the door, how can we have a reason to push it out?" ”

Zhang's face softened instantly: "It's still sensible." ”

Then he hated that iron could not become steel, and looked at Li Tiezhu: "You kid, you are too sincere." You said you, if this young man didn't have a conscience, wouldn't the fifteen copper plates be wasted? ”

Seeing his eldest son's flushed face and white lips, Zhang was still a little unbearable after all, and raised his hand and waved lightly: "Okay, my mother won't count you down, hurry back to the house and rest." ”

Before the words fell, she glared at Chen with an unkind face: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Hurry up and help your man go back! Don't you see him sick like this? ”

Without saying a word, Chen helped Li Tiezhu to stand up.

Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Zhang said hatefully:

"This useless thing! Why was I blind in the first place and let such a woman enter the door of our old Li family! It's good now, I'll be angry with myself all day long! ”

Li Tiegen said: It's not because the sister-in-law's bride price is less than half of that of other girls.

But on his face, he was smiling and massaging Zhang's shoulders: "Mother, sister-in-law has been in the door for so many years, and she is like that." You can't be angry with yourself for her. ”

Zhang patted Li Tiegen's right hand with satisfaction: "Tiegen, you still listen to what you say." It's not like those few, they'll be angry with me all the time......"

Ruan Yezhen followed Xie Jinlan to the jujube tree, and turned around to look at everything that happened in the kitchen not far away. Although the voice on the other end was not real, she could guess a rough idea from the words and deeds of several people.

couldn't help but dye her eyebrows with a little resentment: "Xie Jinlan, how can you say that there are such selfish people in the world?" When I first knew that Li Baoer was killed, this Aunt Li cried so miserably and desperately!

But now, I feel that she is not sad about Li Baoer's death. She was just disappointed and sad that her long-awaited grandson was suddenly gone! ”

Xie Jinlan moved a dilapidated ladder from the wall not far away and put it on the trunk of the tree, and then tried the stability.

Then he slowly climbed up the tree and replied casually: "Such middle-aged women are not uncommon in the countryside. ”

Ruan Yezhen slowly floated up with Xie Jinlan's rising height. At the same time, he was dissatisfied: "Xie Jinlan, are you really here to pick dates?" Investigation is important! ”

Xie Jinlan paused, and then glanced at Ruan Yezhen: "Why don't you come and teach me the girl, how should I investigate next?" ”

Ruan Yezhen choked suddenly, and laughed: "You continue, you continue, just because I didn't say anything." ”

After climbing to the tree, Xie Jinlan did not rush to pick dates, but carefully moved his body to carefully check the places of the date tree and whether there was anything unusual around the date tree.

In the middle of the sound, he picked some dates at random and threw them on the ground, and then slowly climbed down the same road.

After squatting down and picking up the dates on the ground one by one and putting them in his arms, Xie Jinlan seemed to circle around the jujube tree seemingly casually.

Then he walked into the kitchen and looked at Zhang with some embarrassment: "Auntie, do you have any rags you don't want here?" It's really hard for me to go out. ”

Today, he got several copper plates, and Zhang looked at Xie Jinlan, the wronged leader, and was also happy in his heart, and it was rare to respond happily:

"Look around in this kitchen, and if you want to, you can take it. If not, the aunt will be able to do it. ”

Xie Jinlan said yes with a smile, and then put the dates in his arms on the table. After casually glancing at Li Xiaoya's mother and daughter, who were busy on the stove, he looked around in the kitchen.

Looking at the dates on the table, Zhang directly reached out and took two and handed one to Li Tiegen. The other rubbed it on his clothes a few times and then put it in his mouth and gnawed on it.

While eating, Zhang said to Xie Jinlan vaguely:

"Jin Lan, it's not me bragging, my dates are very sweet, and other people in Lijia Village can't compare! If you like it, come to my house next time to buy it, and I'll give you a cheaper price. ”
