Chapter 36: Sending Money Again
Xie Jinlan calmed down and smiled gently at the woman: "Sister-in-law, I'm here to find Brother Tiegen." ”
The woman was very surprised: "Li Tiegen? ”
Then he lowered his voice: "Li Tiegen, who died of his son some time ago? ”
The smile on Xie Jinlan's face was instantly put away, and his voice suddenly became a little muffled: "Well, it's him." ”
The woman also realized that what she had said was out of place, scratched her head in embarrassment, and then pointed not far away: "There it is!" Li Tiegen, his mother-in-law, and Xiaoya are all in their own fields! ”
Xie Jinlan looked over there, and sure enough, he saw three figures of different shapes. Then he turned back and thanked the woman.
The woman waved her hand again and again: "It should be, it should be." ”
Xu was because she had said the wrong thing before, and the woman did not want to say more, so she went straight back to her field, picked up the sickle and continued to cut the rice.
Xie Jinlan walked to the field in front of Li Tiegen's field and stood still. Looking at the two people sitting in the field with their backs to him, he waved to them happily: "Brother Tiegen, sister-in-law." ”
Li Xiaoya, who was bending down to cut the rice, was stunned when she heard the sound, and secretly turned her head to look at the source of the sound.
Meeting Li Xiaoya's gaze, Xie Jinlan squatted down and smiled gently at her: "Your name is Xiaoya, right?" ”
Li Xiaoya was like a frightened deer, turned around in an instant, and continued to cut rice in her hands.
Xie Jinlan didn't seem to expect that he would be so unkind to the little girl, and touched his nose a little embarrassed.
Regarding the wronged boss who sent money to his family a few days ago, Li Tiegen and his wife not only did not give him a look. On the contrary, they were very happy to see him.
Lin looked up at Xie Jinlan and teased him:
"I said, which young man is Widow Yang hooking up with! It turned out to be the little brother of Jinlan! But the little brother is so handsome, it's no wonder that woman has a crush on you. ”
Xie Jinlan's face turned red instantly: "Sister-in-law...... This...... Don't talk nonsense! ”
Lin pouted disapprerovitically: "Then Widow Yang's restlessness is something that everyone in our village knows, why is this what I am talking nonsense?" ”
Seeing that Xie Jinlan's face turned even redder, he didn't know how to refute it. Li Tiegen hurriedly glanced at his daughter-in-law and asked her to restrain herself and not scare people away.
Lin Shi rolled his eyes in his heart, but he smiled and played with Xie Jinlan haha:
"But what about Widow Yang is her business. The little brother just ignore her, and save any gossip from the village. My sister-in-law said this, but also for your sake, don't think about anything. ”
Xie Jinlan's expression returned to normal at this time, and he smiled gratefully: "Thank you sister-in-law for your kindness." ”
Li Tiegen looked at Xie Jinlan with some doubts: "Brother Jinlan, did you come here to find me?" ”
Xie Jinlan smiled and nodded: "Yes, I heard that you harvested rice here, so you found it." ”
Could it be that the money is being sent to the door again?
Thinking of this, Li Tiegen instantly looked at Xie Jinlan with bright eyes, and then got up and enthusiastically pulled him to his field: "Come on, come on, come over and talk slowly." ”
Holding a bunch of rice stalks that had been slapped and spread them in the field, Li Tiegen pulled Xie Jinlan to sit down beside him, and then looked at Lin: "You go and watch Xiaoya, don't let her be lazy." ”
Lin glared at Li Tiegen warningly, then got up and walked towards Li Xiaoya.
Li Tiegen's heart couldn't help but tremble, but he quickly stabilized his mind.
Looking at the mud stains on Xie Jinlan's arms, Li Tiegen scratched his cheeks a little wryly:
"I'm sorry little brother, I stained your clothes. But I don't think the little brother is a stingy person, and he won't care about a rough person like me, right? ”
Xie Jinlan shook his head indifferently: "It's just a little mud stain, it's not a big deal, go back and wash it and it's clean." Brother Tiegen, you don't have to call me Brother Jinlan like that, just call me Jinlan. ”
Li Tiegen responded with a smile: "Jin Lan." ”
Looking at Li Xiaoya, who was silently bending down to cut rice, and the Lin family who was standing beside her and scolding, Xie Jinlan looked at Li Tiegen in confusion:
"Brother Tiegen, Xiaoya is still so young, why did she do all the work in the field alone? Aren't you going to help her? ”
Li Tiegen suddenly touched his nose with a little weakness: "Of course she is not doing it alone." It's just that your sister-in-law and I were busy and tired before, so we stopped to rest for a while. ”
Looking at Li Tiegen, who was breathing smoothly and did not have many mud stains and sweat on his body, Xie Jinlan smiled: "So that's the case, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you and my sister-in-law." ”
Li Tiegen waved his hand and said that he didn't mind.
Thinking of the purpose of his visit, Xie Jinlan picked his fingers a little embarrassed: "Brother Tiegen, I have already eaten the dates I bought from your house that day." Today, I'm hungry again, and I want to ......"
Li Tiegen was secretly happy in his heart: Sure enough, he sent money!
He was about to say something, but he quickly thought of another question: "If you want to buy dates, just go directly to my house." Why did you come here to find me? ”
Xie Jinlan made a movement in his hand, and his face was slightly red:
"On that day, Brother Tiegen, you specially picked two of the sweetest dates for me. So I thought, can you please help me pick the dates off the tree this time? ”
Li Tiegen agreed very happily: "What's the problem then!" ”
Immediately, he looked at Xie Jinlan with some embarrassment, stretched out his right hand, and rubbed his thumb and index finger against each other. Then he glanced in the direction of Li Xiaoya and Lin: "It's just that I want to leave the work in this field, I'm afraid it's ......."
Xie Jinlan instantly understood what Li Tiegen meant: "Brother Tiegen, don't worry, in addition to the money to buy dates, I will give you an extra five cents as compensation." ”
Then he looked at Li Tiegen cautiously: "Brother Tiegen, I don't have much money, so little, you won't be too little, right?" ”
Li Tiegen frowned and thought for a while, and then slapped his thigh: "Forget it, who called you my brother, five cents is five cents, I will help you with this!" ”
Xie Jinlan suddenly showed gratitude: "Brother Tiegen, you are so good, thank you so much!" ”
Li Tiegen waved his hand very boldly: "Everyone is a brother, don't be so polite to me." ”
As he spoke, he stood up: "Let's go, go back to my house and pick dates." ”
Xie Jinlan followed and replied with a smile: "Hmm." ”
Li Tiegen seemed to think of something, and his steps paused, asking Xie Jinlan to wait in place.
And he walked up to Lin's side, covered his ears with his hand, and whispered in her ear.
I saw that Lin suddenly looked like he was smiling, and then followed Li Tiegen to Xie Jinlan's face:
"Little brother, listen to my family's Tiegen, you want to eat my dates again? Then you and Tiegen should go back quickly, but you can't keep thinking about it.
Don't worry, my iron root will pick the best sweet mouth on the tree for you. Let you eat it, and next time I want to come to my house to pick it. ”
