Du Yunyi wanted to speak and divert the topic, but after opening his mouth a few times, he didn't know what to say.

I can't talk about academic topics anymore, so what are we talking about? Ask Chen and the others, Du Jinning must say that they are a hundred times better than when they were in the Du family; Concerned about Du Jinning's physical condition, but look at Du Jinning's work after only leaving the Du family for half a month, he has grown taller, and his face is a little rounder, and then think about the days he used to live in the Du family, this topic is definitely looking for abuse; Ask about Du Fangfei's marriage, think about the Meng family's family affairs that the Niu family ordered for her before, this topic is definitely not pleasant.

So the room fell into an awkward silence.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Du Jinning stood up very calmly and saluted Du Chensheng and Niu's family: "It's dark early in winter, I have to go back first." Otherwise, if Uncle Zheng comes back from the city again, it will be too late, and I won't be able to trouble him again. ”

It's embarrassing to stay any longer, and maybe the relationship will be stiffened by talking, so it's better to keep the status quo and slowly figure it out.

Du Chensheng weighed the pros and cons, so he didn't keep Du Jinning, and only said politely: "Why don't you go back after dinner, I'll let your uncle send you when the time comes." Zheng Lin came back with a companion, and he wouldn't say anything. ”

"No, it's not a bother." Du Jinning arched his hand, turned around and walked out.

Du Chensheng didn't say anything anymore, turned his head to Du Yunyi and said, "Look at it, how did your daughter-in-law prepare a return gift for so long." As he spoke, he took out a red envelope from his arms and handed it to Du Jinning, "Grandfather has nothing to give you, you can take this New Year's money, I wish you success in your studies in the new year and all the best." ”

It took so much money to give gifts, so I finally collected some interest back. Du Jinning didn't refuse, took the red seal and thanked him.

Niu, who had been warned by Du Chensheng and had never dared to speak nonsense, also handed over a red envelope at this time: "This is given to you by your grandmother, grow up quickly." ”

"Thank you, grandmother." Du Jinning also accepted it unceremoniously.

Niu was so distressed that the corners of his mouth twitched: This dead child, why don't you know how to excuse it? This eyelid is also a little shallower, and the eyes are open when you see money!

Carrying a basket of return gifts from the second room of the Du family, Du Jinning went to Du Yinsheng's house again to get the gifts for the Zhang family and the Zheng family, and then left.

Du Yinsheng was reluctant to give up: "Or, I'll send you over?" ”

"No need for uncle and grandfather, you are an elder for the New Year, and it is not easy to go to other people's houses. I'll go there and sit and go. Du Jinning smiled, "You are always free, go to my house with your aunt and uncle, my mother and they are at home all day." He greeted Du Yunchang again, "The fourth uncle will go when he is free." ”

"Good, good." After Du Jinning's words, Du Yinsheng was also satisfied, sent her outside the gate, and saw her figure around the corner, and then turned around.

Needless to say, Du Jinning went to Zhang's house and was warmly received by Zhang's family.

Not to mention that because of Du Jinning's matter, Zhang Hongwen registered in front of the mountain chief, just saying that Du Jinning opened a teahouse with Guan Jiaze and others, and was willing to take Zhang Hongwen with him, but it was not enough to bring it once, and he brought it for the second and third time, and also lent money to the Zhang family, which is the great benefactor of the Zhang family.

Although the teahouse has not yet paid dividends, looking at the long queue in front of the teahouse, you know that the income should be considerable. These are all real benefits that Du Jinning brought to the Zhang family.

In addition, in the process of cooperation, Zhang Hongwen has a better and better relationship with Guan Jiaze and Qi Muyuan, the children of official eunuchs, which are all connections and invisible benefits, and they can help the Zhang family a lot at critical moments in the future.

Therefore, the Zhang family was so affectionate to Du Jinning, Zhang Guangyi also said: "I plan to take Brother Wen to your house tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings, who knew that you would come today." ”

Du Jinning explained, sat for a while and then offered to leave.

Zhang Guangyi couldn't keep it, so he had to send Du Jinning out with Zhang Hongwen.

Although she learned from Du Yunchang that Zhang Guangyi did not tell Zhang about his shareholding in the teahouse, she still asked Zhang Guangyi: "When I was at my uncle's grandfather's house just now, my fourth uncle said that the teahouse's storytelling was good, but I didn't hear what the fourth aunt said. Didn't you tell them about your stake in the teahouse? ”

Zhang Guangyi nodded: "That's right." He glanced at Du Jinning, "After all, your fourth aunt is already the Du family." Last time, it was because Brother Wen was careless in the past that your grandfather and second uncle went with you at the housewarming banquet of your family, and the happy day was so unpleasant. So this time, I simply told Brother Wen not to say anything. The matter of taking a stake in the teahouse is not known to Brother Wen and his mother, only our father and son know. ”

Doing things with smart people is just comfortable. Du Jinning was very satisfied with Zhang Guangyi's approach.

She raised her hand and gave Zhang Guangyi a deep look: "Thank you, Uncle Zhang, for thinking about me." ”

"Hey, you kid, what are you saying, hurry up and don't be polite." Zhang Guangyi hurriedly helped her up, "You have helped our family Brother Wen a lot, we haven't said thank you yet." The family does not speak two words. ”

The three of them walked to the bridge, and Zhang Hongwen called Zheng Lin out outside the door: "You send me a gift for Brother Ning." ”

Du Jinning took two catties of pork, a pack of dried tofu, and a pack of dim sum out and handed it to Zheng Lin: "In the past, Uncle Zheng took care of me, this is my New Year's gift to you for the old, I wish Uncle Zheng's family a safe and healthy life, and all the best." ”

Zheng Lin hurriedly excused himself, and under Zhang Guangyi's persuasion, he finally accepted the things, and praised Zhang Guangyi: "Brother Ning, this kid is sensible, and he has the most conscience." I only sent him twice, and he just remembered me. ”

"Not really. Such a child, some people say that he has no conscience, alas. Zhang Guangyi said meaningfully, "Zheng Lin, there are many people who are familiar with your car. If someone criticizes Brother Ning, you have to help him say a few fair words. ”

When Du Jinning heard this, he was a little embarrassed.

She gave a gift to Zheng Lin to sincerely thank Zheng Lin for helping her at the expense of money when she was at her most depressed.

But when Zhang Guangyi said this, it seemed that she wanted to bribe Zheng Lin to say good things for her when she gave the gift.

She hurriedly stopped Zhang Guangyi: "Uncle Zhang, don't say that." He said to Zheng Lin again, "I'm not here anymore, I can't hear what everyone says, Uncle Zheng don't talk nonsense with people because of this." 'Who has no one behind their backs, and who doesn't say anything behind their backs'? Anyway, there is a public opinion in this world, and there is no need to be more serious with others. ”

Zhang Guangyi let out a "haha", patted Zheng Lin on the shoulder and said, "Yes, yes, I said something stupid." Seeing that Du Lao Er treated Brother Ning like this, this child not only took a generous gift to pay New Year's greetings, but also did not say a bad word about them, which shows that this child is pure-hearted. In the face of such a child, Du Lao Er and they will not have anything bad to say. After all, now Brother Ning worships the mountain chief of the academy as a teacher? It's too late to stammer, how can you say bad things? I was confused, but I made this kid sincerely give gifts and thank you, as if he wanted you to say two kind words. Okay, the road is long and the road is short, you send him back, be careful on the road. ”
