Zhang Lanlan saw someone grabbing Dongbao, and rushed at the person with a "whoop". The courtyard was even more chaotic, Qiu Ni struggled desperately, and bit the man to death, the man let go of his hand due to the pain, Qiu Ni quickly broke free from the restraints, and went to save Dong Bao. The door was blocked by the crowd, and Tong Yan couldn't get in.

In the chaos, the sound of things being broken in the small courtyard could be heard, there were crying, there were shouting, there were people urging, but such voices were quickly drowned out. Not long after, Tong Yan heard several mournful shouts, mixed with a painful wail. A man fell to the ground, his eyes open, motionless, bright red blood slowly gushing out of his mouth, everyone was startled by the surprise, and everyone scattered.

Tong Yan saw clearly that the person who fell to the ground was Zhang Lanlan. Seeing such a scene, Tong Yan was so frightened that her feet became weak, she didn't dare to look at it anymore, turned around, leaned against the wall, her body softened, and slowly slid down.

Not long after, those people left in a hurry, everyone hurried to help, and sent Zhang Lanlan to the hospital, Qiu Ni ran out of the courtyard and followed everyone to the hospital, Dong Bao followed behind her sister. The two children's clothes were torn, their hair was unkempt, and Qiuni had only one shoe on her foot, just like the little beggar on the road. Zhao Jianjian, who was standing stupidly, also stumbled out under everyone's reminder.

Sister-in-law Tian walked out of the courtyard gate, sighed at the back of seeing them leaving, and when she turned around and saw Tong Yan sitting at the base of the wall, she was startled and quickly helped Tong Yan up.

It wasn't until sitting in Sister-in-law Tian's house and drinking the water poured by Sister-in-law Tian that Tong Yan gradually recovered. Seeing that Tong Yan was calm, Sister-in-law Tian explained to Tong Yan: Before, Qiu Ni was expelled from school for stealing, and she has been taking care of Dong Bao at home and doing some housework, which is considered stable, but today a group of people came and said that they would criticize her, Qiu Ni is so small, she is naturally afraid, and she runs away if she is afraid, but how did she run past those people, Dong Bao came to help. Zhang Lanlan also came later, and in the chaos, I don't know who hit Zhang Lanlan, and Zhang Lanlan fell to the ground. Sister-in-law Tian sighed, and she didn't know if Zhang Lanlan could be saved. Tong Yan listened to Sister-in-law Tian's chatter, and all she had in her mind was the scene of Zhang Lanlan falling to the ground.

Two hours later, Uncle Cao came back with unfortunate news - Zhang Lanlan was not saved, and the once spicy woman was gone.

Tong Yan didn't know how she got out of the yard, she walked on the road stupidly alone, she didn't know where she was going, when she raised her head, she saw Lu Jinzhi, Lu Jinzhi stood at the door of her yard, looking at Tong Yan's lost soul, hurriedly came over to help her, touched her hand, cold, half helped and half hugged her to the house, Tong Yan buried her head in Lu Jinzhi's arms, didn't speak for a long time, only a drop of tears expressed her fear and uncomfortable mood. Lu Jinzhi knew that something was wrong, but he couldn't guess what was going on, so he had to gently pat her back to show comfort.

When Tong Yan came over, Lu Jinzhi's hands were sore. Tong Yan told Lu Jinzhi about Tian's sister-in-law, and Lu Jinzhi was silent. Looking at Tong Yan's pale face, Lu Jinzhi could only let her eat something first and rest well. This matter must be figured out by Tong Yan herself, and no one else can help her. Tong Yan didn't eat anything and slept directly. Lu Jinzhi didn't dare to let Tong Yan sleep alone, for fear that something would happen to her, so he stayed with her.

In the middle of the night, Tong Yan woke up and found Lu Jinzhi lying beside her, sleeping in clothes. Tong Yan got up slowly, put on a dress, and was silent in a daze. Tong Yan remembered the first time she met Zhang Lanlan when she just lived in the small courtyard, remembered her mean words, and remembered the disgusting things she did, Tong Yan didn't like her, and even hated her. But Tong Yan had to admit that as a mother, Zhang Lanlan was still qualified, although she was partial to Dongbao, but she also let Qiu Ni go to school. She likes to be greedy, but it's all for her children. When her children were in danger, she still bravely rushed out to protect her children.

Tong Yan thought about these things silently, the sky gradually glowed with white light, and when Lu Jinzhi woke up, he saw Tong Yan's eyes slightly red, leaning against the wall in a daze. Lu Jinzhi reached out and touched Tong Yan's face and asked her, "Didn't you sleep well last night?" Tong Yan looked at Lu Jinyi's worried look on his face, shook his head, and said softly: "I'm just scared, I don't know how many other people will encounter these things? Why are those people ......" Lu Jinzhi stretched out his hand to cover Tong Yan's mouth, and Tong Yan looked at Lu Jinzhi in a daze. Lu Jinzhi said solemnly: "Now, the most important thing is to avoid disasters from coming out of the mouth. I know what you're thinking. It's just getting started now, and maybe it'll be tougher later. All we can do now is protect ourselves. Do you understand? Qiuni's matter won't end like this, after all, the matter has gone too far, and they should give an explanation. ”

Soon, Tong Yan knew what the statement they were giving was. Sister-in-law Tian and Tong Yan talked about Zhang Lanlan's matter, and they were a little angry: "They came to two people and gave five yuan, saying that it was the funeral expenses." Qiu Ni didn't have to go to them to write a check, so the matter was given. What is the matter! A human life is gone, and it just fools it away. ”

Tong Yan asked: "Zhao Jianshe agreed?" "What can I do if I don't agree!" Those people didn't come to discuss with you at all, it was Zhang Lanlan who made the first move. If you don't agree, the whole family will be arrested, and you can only pinch your nose and admit it. Zhao Jianshe was more than ten years old all of a sudden, and his white hair came out, which was really pitiful to look at. Qiu Ni and Dong Bao cry at home every day, and the children without mothers are also pitiful. In the past few days, I have relied on the help of my neighbors and barely survived. I heard that Zhao Jianshe is going to take his two children back to the countryside, and he is not going to do any more work here. Alas, what a sin!"

Tong Yan listened silently, and when she left, she took out five yuan from her pocket and gave it to Sister-in-law Tian. Sister-in-law Tian didn't understand, and Tong Yan explained: "I once lived in a courtyard, so I thought about it a little." Sister-in-law Tian took it and nodded: "This time, everyone has made up a little bit, that's what it means." I'll send it over when I get back. ”

Although spring had already begun, Tong Yan didn't feel warm, wrapped the scarf again, and slowly left the courtyard. Tong Yan was pressed with things in her heart, and she was naturally in a bad mood. Li Fangfang was very happy in her heart, she came to Tong Yan and reported a good news: Comrade Li Fangfang is pregnant and can be a mother in eight months. Looking at Li Fangfang's sweet smile, Tong Yan finally showed a smile.

As the first mother among the four sworn friends, Li Fangfang is very nervous, after all, the other three have not even married. Li Fangfang invited Wang Li and Tong Yan to go to Li Fangfang's house together, saying that she would get together while her image was still good, and when her belly was big, she wouldn't go out. One sentence made Tong Yan laugh.

The three of them sat and chatted at Li Fangfang's mother's house, and in front of them was the sugar water poured by Li Fangfang's mother, as well as a small plate of melon seeds. Li Fangfang's mother likes Tong Yan very much, last time Li Fangfang got married, Tong Yan gave the most red envelopes, Li Fangfang's mother remembered this favor, this time when she saw Tong Yan, she asked: "I heard Fangfang say, you are also getting married, when will you do something?" Tong Yan blushed when she was asked, and only said that it was too soon, and she had not discussed it with Lu Jinzhi yet.

Li Fangfang's mother thought about returning the favor, so she asked, "Is it time to get ready?" Tong Yan realized that although the marriage report was approved, they didn't make any arrangements for the future, and they didn't do anything that should be done. Tong Yan secretly examined: She has been too stimulated by Zhang Lanlan's matter recently, and she should discuss their own affairs with Lu Jinzhi.

Li Fangfang's mother knew that Tong Yan had not prepared anything, and persuaded Tong Yan vigorously: "You are children, such a big thing, you are not in a hurry at all, you have to buy what you should buy, the things in the supply and marketing cooperatives are not what you want to buy, and it is normal to lack goods from time to time." Tong Yan hurriedly nodded, indicating that she had been taught. Tong Yan looked at Li Fangfang's mother, remembered something, licked her face and asked, "Auntie, I have something I want to ask you for help?" Li Fangfang's mother was also happy and asked what was the matter. Tong Yan was a little embarrassed, but still opened her mouth: "Auntie is free, knit me some sweaters." And scarves, gloves and so on. Li Fangfang's mother agreed, Tong Yan was happy in her heart, and hurriedly thanked her.

Two days later, Li Fangfang got a large bag of wool from Tong Yan, took it back to her parents' house, and said to her mother: "This Tong Yan, you're really welcome! Look at it, she has brought so much wool, and it is estimated that she has brought all the wool this year." Li Fangfang's mother touched these wool threads and sighed: "Tong Yan is really a blessing, this wool is a good thing, the man's family is capable, otherwise she is a little girl, you can get these there, tsk, it's really good." Li Fangfang gave the note with the size written on it to her mother, and took special care of it, just knit a vest for her future child, which Tong Yan agreed. Aunt Li smiled so much that the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes came out, and she felt comfortable, thinking that Tong Yan was a sensible girl.

Aunt Li took her little daughter together and spent a week weaving everything. Tong Yan got the things and went to find Lu Jinzhi happily. handed a large bag of clothes to Lu Jinzhi with a praising expression on his face.

Lu Jinzhi looked at these things: two men's wool vests, one women's wool vest, two scarves, and two pairs of gloves. "Are you weaving these?" Tong Yan heard Lu Jinzhi ask, and her face fell. Lu Jinzhi teased her: "I heard that you were knitting a scarf last time, and I haven't seen a shadow of a scarf until now." Tong Yan dragged the things in Lu Jinzhi's hand, and asked angrily: "Who did you listen to?" Lu Jinzhi was speechless, and said in his heart, saying that he couldn't sell Director Feng, so he had to say: "Everyone in the factory is saying that you are knitting a scarf, I think it must be for me." Tong Yan glanced at him, "Beautiful you, I let others weave these things, love it or not." Lu Jinzhi hurriedly begged for mercy and hugged Tong Yan for a while before Tong Yan let him go.

In fact, Lu Jinzhi didn't like to see Tong Yan's lifeless appearance a while ago, but now that she has regained her vitality and agility, he feels a lot more steady, and he inevitably wants to tease her.

After making trouble for a while, Tong Yan thought of getting married and asked Lu Jinzhi what his plans were. Lu Jinzhi nodded her little nose and asked, "I finally remembered, when you think about it, the daylilies are cold." I discussed it with my family, we will hold a meeting in City B, and invite those friends of yours to have a meal here, and then send out some sugar, okay?"

Tong Yan thought about it, after all, she didn't have a family, and she didn't have many friends, so it was enough to have three tables. Lu Jinzhi has a lot of family and friends there, so he must do it. asked Lu Jinzhi again: "What are you going to do?" Lu Jinzhi said with a little guilt: "The current wedding must not be a big one, I think just like everyone, go through the process, just invite the closest people to have a meal, and it can be regarded as a person." At least on the face of it. As for the rest, I will definitely compensate you. "Tong Yan doesn't care about this, if you come up with some tricks at this time, you are asking for trouble, there is no need.

It is impossible for Tong Yan and Lu Jinzhi to go to City B to organize the wedding, so this matter is fully handed over to Zhang Qiao. Zhang Qiao didn't feel troublesome at all, but enjoyed it. Tong Yan doesn't have a mother's family, and she is a little girl, she knows what to prepare for marriage, and when the time comes, she can't do things well for a long time, so it's better to cover it all by herself, and feel at ease. She was full of joy to do a lot of things, buying furniture, buying electrical appliances, and turning around the regiment commanded by Lu in the past. Lu Xinian complained about his son in his heart, and his face was happy.
