Chapter Ninety-Six: Brother
When Meng Gui left Lao Du's house, the whole person was depressed, and he couldn't believe that he asked the people around him again, and the result was the same answer.
Lao Du moved away.
But he accepted Meng Xiaoping's apprenticeship money, and did not let Meng Xiaoping come to learn or speak, and the money was not returned to him.
As soon as Meng Gui thought of what Mrs. Meng's expression would be after she went home, after learning about it, he was not good.
He didn't want to go home, so he walked aimlessly around the county with his feet until he smelled the smell of meat buns, and then remembered that he hadn't had time to eat breakfast in the morning.
However, he didn't have a penny on him.
Since he returned to Mengjiawan without working, Mrs. Meng has not given him a penny, and Meng Gui is naturally cleaner than his face.
"Uncle Meng," Jiang Chuan saw the person, hesitated forward, and shouted.
In fact, he wanted to pretend that he hadn't seen it, but Jiang Chuan found that Meng Gui's demeanor was not quite right, and he was afraid that something would happen, so he could only step forward.
Meng Gui turned around blankly and numbly squeezed out a smile, "It's you." ”
"Where are you going?" Jiang Chuan asked.
Meng Gui thought for a while, and then said, "I'm going back to work." ”
Before coming, Mrs. Meng specially told him to ask him about Lao Du's time, and then hurry back to work, so as not to delay the time.
Jiang Chuan glanced at the sky, and was a little worried about letting him go back like this, so he said, "You can go back with me later, and take the car faster." ”
He originally wanted to wait until noon when school was over, and then go to the school to find Meng Youyou, maybe the two of them could have a meal together, but now it definitely won't work.
It's just that she can't eat, but the prepared things are for her to be delivered.
Meng Guimu nodded and didn't speak, just stood there motionless.
Jiang Chuan frowned, got out of the car to help him sit up, and after making sure that he was seated, he drove the tractor to the county No. 1 Middle School, and when he arrived at the place, he handed the handbag to the doorman uncle, and asked him to help hand it over to Meng Youyou, who was in the third class of high school, and then left directly.
The doorman only thought it was Meng Youyou's brother, after all, there was a middle-aged man sitting in the car, so he didn't ask much, and took advantage of the time after class to send the things.
When Meng Youyou got the handbag, when she heard that her brother sent it over, she almost thought it was sent to the wrong person.
She doesn't have a brother.
opened the handbag and saw the note inside, and then I realized that the so-called brother was just a misunderstanding.
Jiang Chuan explained on the note that he originally wanted to have dinner with her, but he didn't expect to meet her father, so he could only go back first, and let her ask someone to bring him a message if she lacked something, and she must take care of herself and the like.
Meng Youyou didn't feel that his tone was like an old father, but his heart was so sweet that he looked at the note again and again, and then reopened the handbag.
There was a pound of chicken cake in it, four apples, half a packet of brown sugar, and a bottle of flower water, not many things, but they were all needed by Meng Youyou now.
Especially the flower water, she wanted to buy it a few days ago but was dissuaded by Xiang Yanli, and when the two of them couldn't stand the mosquito bite and ran to buy it, they found that it was sold out.
In the past few days, Meng Youyou can only wear long-sleeved pants to study at night, just to prevent mosquitoes, he would rather sweat profusely in the heat and feel uncomfortable.
And brown sugar is even more difficult to buy, compared to food stamps and meat stamps, sugar stamps are too difficult to find, so this half pack of brown sugar doesn't look like a small amount, but it must be a waste of thought.
As for chicken cakes and apples, they are uncommon things, and most people are reluctant to buy them when they go to the supply and marketing cooperatives, at least in the memory of the original owner, they have never eaten them, so they are also rare.
"Yo, who's sending you these things? There are still such beautiful apples," Xiang Yanli asked directly, grinning widely.
Although her family is not short of money, she is not particularly wealthy, and chicken cakes can be eaten from time to time, and as for apples, I have never seen them except during the New Year's holidays.
The fruit is placed in the cabinet of the supply and marketing cooperative, and the average person can't afford it, so sometimes it can't be bought by anyone for ten days and half a month, so it can only be broken, and those who can afford it can't buy it every day.
Therefore, it is not often common for apples to be sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives.
apples that are as good as those in Meng Youyou's hands are generally only available during the New Year's Festival.
Meng Youyou took out one and handed it to her, "Eat, see if it's sweet." ”
She didn't pay so much attention to it, because there were too many varieties of apples when she went to the supermarket in later generations, and there were apples that were redder and bigger than this, so she didn't find that it was not easy for Jiang Chuan to buy apples.
Xiang Yanli shook her head again and again, "I don't eat it, you can keep it for yourself." ”
She is not a person without eyes, even if she knows that Meng Youyou asked her from the bottom of her heart, but it is not easy for anyone these days, and there are not many people who are willing to spend money to buy apples, so Meng Youyou can have the opportunity to eat once, and Xiang Yanli will not want to take advantage of this.
Meng Youyou understood her thoughts at a glance, and didn't insist, just said, "It's okay to eat that chicken cake in one piece, and there is also flower water, we can use it together." ”
"Okay," Xiang Yanli said with a smile.
She can refuse apples and chicken cakes, but she definitely doesn't want to refuse toilet water, only she knows what it has been like to be bitten by mosquitoes in the past few days.
However, she was also a little curious, who specially sent these things to Meng Youyou, which was not particularly expensive, but it was difficult to buy, and it must have taken a lot of thought.
But Meng Youyou didn't say it, Xiang Yanli naturally wouldn't ask, although the relationship between the two was good, she would still respect what should be respected, after all, she also had her own little secrets.
Meng Youyou wanted to send some chicken cakes and apples to Meng Zhenzhen, but she was worried that Meng Zhenzhen would ask her where she came from, so she hesitated for a long time and finally gave up.
That's it, there will be a chance in the future, forget it this time.
At noon, Meng Youyou specially went to find a bottle with a small half bottle of toilet water to send over, regardless of whether other bottles would affect the use, just thinking that it is better than nothing.
Meng Zhenzhen only thought that she bought it herself, so she didn't care, after all, she wouldn't have thought that Jiang Chuan would send it over, so she pulled Meng Youyou and asked what happened a few days ago again, and learned that it had been dealt with, so she gave up.
In fact, she had already asked Meng Youyou once a few days ago, but she was still worried in her heart, and after hearing the affirmative answer, she completely relieved herself.
