Old Uncle Zhong said: "Yun Lan, you kid didn't go to school, why did you come back suddenly, it seems that you made some money." ”

"I'm still a student now, and the money is a reward for completing tasks at school, and I haven't seen my dad for more than half a year, so I came back to see him, and took my dad to live in the city, and I still have a house in the city." Jiang Yunlan said proudly, but he didn't say it was a villa, otherwise he was afraid that it would be too much and cause trouble.

"A house! You kid has the ability, it is said that the houses in the city are very expensive, and ordinary people don't want to buy half a house even if they make a lifetime of money. Old Uncle Zhong was surprised and helped with the meat.

"When I met a big man and helped him do things, he gave me a set, and I was lucky." Jiang Yunlan said.

"Tsk, Jiang Fan has picked up the treasure, he can enjoy happiness in the future, he has suffered all his life, and he can still enjoy happiness in his old age, not bad, haha." Lao Zhong said enviously that he had no wife and children, his wife was killed seven years ago, and his only daughter died in the mouth of the walking corpse because he took him to scavenge for waste.

Jiang Yunlan knew very well how poor the life of a scavenger was, so he said: "Old Uncle Zhong, you are almost fifty years old, don't go to scavenging, I will give you a sum of money, and you will enjoy your old age here." ”

"I'm happy if you kid has this heart, I don't have anything to worry about alone, you know Uncle Zhong's family affairs, living may not be a good thing for me, and when I die, I can still go to see my mother-in-law and children, and say sorry to them, I'm useless." Speaking of his own affairs, Old Uncle Zhong's eyes were full of sadness and regret.

Jiang Yunlan didn't know how to comfort him, what he could do was to let Uncle Zhong not have to worry about food and clothing in his old age, and he would have to drink a few more drinks with them later, but Daddy might not let him drink.

After a while, Jiang Fan and Uncle Zhang's family came over, Uncle Zhang used to be a waste picker, but after giving birth to a child, he worked in the garbage dump, for the sake of his family, he couldn't go out to adventure anymore, although the income was lower, at least he could eat, and the safety of the family was the best.

Aunt Zhang helped Jiang Yunlan cook as soon as she came, and his daughter Zhang Xiaotong was only seven years old, with double ponytails, very well-behaved and cute. She also came over to help wash the vegetables, and stood beside Jiang Yunlan and said sweetly: "Brother Yunlan, I heard that you have become a martial artist, is it true?" ”

"Yes, Tongtong also has to work hard, and in the future, he will also enter the Shenzhou Academy and become a martial artist." Jiang Yunlan smiled and began to cut the meat.

"Well, I'll definitely try." Zhang Xiaotong clenched his fists and looked serious.

The two talked and laughed, everyone worked together, and soon a table of sumptuous dishes was completed, Jiang Fan took out a jar of wine, and the three men poured a bowl and began to drink.

After a few sips of wine, the three of them talked more, and Uncle Zhang was the first to say: "Brother Fan, now that Yun Lan is also out of breath, you are not young anymore, I think you should not go to scavenging, find a job like me, it must be good for you to live alone." ”

"That's it, Yun Lan can make a lot of money now, you don't have to work hard anymore, you can stay at home and enjoy Qingfu." Old Uncle Zhong also persuaded.

Jiang Fan smiled and said: "Yun Lan will need money to marry a daughter-in-law in the future, I want to save some for him, and then it's not too late to stop." ”

Jiang Yunlan immediately said: "Dad, I don't need you to save money, I have a lot of money now, and I still have a big house in the city, I came to take you into the city to live this time." ”

"You see, Yun Lan has a lot of skills, there are big houses in the city, Jiang Fan, you are so blessed, what are you still a waste picker, go quickly, you can come to the camp to drink with our brothers when you have time." Old Uncle Zhong said.

"Brother Yunlan is so powerful." Zhang Xiaotong screamed in surprise, Aunt Zhang showed a look of surprise when she heard it, and then kept giving Uncle Zhang a look, but Uncle Zhang didn't have it.

Jiang Fan looked at his son in surprise, and asked for a while, "Yun Lan, do you mean it really?" ”

"Yes, Dad, the money was given to complete the school task, and I am a refiner, you know, the house was given by the refiner association, and I still have the refiner's badge." Jiang Yunlan said.

Jiang Fan shook his head and sighed and said: "I'm still worried that you have done something unseemly to make money so quickly, since it is the right way, I am relieved, but I will not go to the city, I am used to it here in my life, but it is uncomfortable to go to the city, stay here with your uncles and uncles, and you can live longer." ”

Jiang Yunlan still wanted to persuade him, but Jiang Fan suddenly looked serious and said, "Don't persuade me, I will definitely not enter the city." ”

Jiang Yunlan was helpless, it was the first time for her father to be so serious, it seemed that he hated life in the city. In the end, he could only compromise and change his method and said: "Dad, it doesn't matter if you don't go to the city, but you are not allowed to be a waste picker anymore, I don't want you to live in danger every day." ”

"Let's talk about this later, let's eat today, don't talk about these things." Jiang Fan spoke, immediately picked up the bowl, and drank the remaining half of the bowl of wine in one gulp.

Old Uncle Zhong said strangely: "Jiang Fan, Yun Lan is also filial, why are you unhappy." ”

Jiang Fanha took a breath, picked up the wine jar and poured it for himself, did not speak again, but drank one sip after another, which made everyone sitting puzzled, Jiang Yunlan was also the first time to see his father like this.

After that, everyone finished eating in a hurry, Aunt Zhang, Xiaotong, and Jiang Yunlan cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Uncle Zhang and Uncle Zhong accompanied Jiang Fan to go outside for a walk.

When washing the dishes, Aunt Zhang whispered: "Yun Lan, you are almost 11 years old, in three years, you will be an adult, what do you think of our family Xiaotong." ”

"Sister Xiaotong is very well-behaved, very good." Jiang Yunlan said without much thought.

"Then when Xiaotong is an adult, it's good to marry you, and then you will take Xiaotong to live in the city, Aunt Zhang, I don't have anything else, I don't want Xiaotong to suffer with us." Aunt Zhang said.

Jiang Yunlan was stunned for a moment, and said embarrassedly: "That, Aunt Zhang, thank you for your kindness, I·· I actually have someone I like. ”

"Ahh Hey, too, it should be a girl in the city, okay, you just didn't say anything about Aunt Zhang. Aunt Zhang was a little unhappy, so she quickly sorted it out and took Xiaotong back.

Jiang Yunlan ignored Aunt Zhang's words, and was more concerned about her father's reaction at dinner, sitting at home in a daze, thinking about his father's look at the dinner table, feeling as if he had something on his mind.

"What the hell is wrong with my father, by the way, he never mentions my mother's affairs in front of me, does it have anything to do with my mother?" Jiang Yunlan guessed.

In Jiang Yunlan's various speculations, the time unconsciously arrived at about ten o'clock in the evening, Jiang Fan walked in with a drunken face, and saw Jiang Yunlan lying in the hammock and still hadn't slept, and didn't say anything, shaking it and walking to his bed.

Jiang Yunlan called him, he just hummed, took off his clothes and lay on the bed to sleep.

Jiang Yunlan frowned and didn't know what was wrong with her father, and she was very bad at dealing with this kind of thing, so she could only lie down and think nonsense.

Just as he was about to fall asleep in his thoughts, Jiang Fan suddenly said: "Your mother is not dead yet, scavenging is just to find her traces." ”

Jiang Yunlan was dazed, and when she heard this, she suddenly woke up and shouted: "Dad, what is my mother's name and what does she look like, I'll help you find it together." ”

But the next thing I heard was Jiang Fan's snoring, Jiang Yunlan had no choice but to lie down again, I don't know if my father was talking in a dream just now, or if he really said it to himself.
