Chapter 156: Angry and weird
Huo Ran said lightly: "It's not exactly to repay you for taking care of you before, I have some friendship with the Jiang family now, and it is natural to take care of you."
Jiang Mi was embarrassed to hear it, why did she think that the word friendship in his mouth seemed to have some other meaning.
He looked at Huo Ran's thin body and asked, "Usually you are alone, you won't have a place to go for the New Year, right?" Why don't you come to my house, and we'll have a good time."
In fact, the imperial court had already sent a letter asking him to return to Beijing for the New Year as soon as possible, but he had people who were reluctant to do so, so he repeatedly delayed it.
"No need, I wish grandpa, thank you for your kindness, I should go home during the New Year, but my hometown is not here, how can I say that I am also an outsider, how can I be embarrassed to stay and disturb you."
Zhu Qiancheng sighed: "What is this, the people in a village are all their own people, where are outsiders? Don't see it, by the way, where is your hometown?"
When he mentioned his hometown, Huo Ran subconsciously wanted to hide it, but he looked at Zhu Qiancheng and Jiang Mi's eyes, and he didn't want to deceive them.
Jiang Mi saw that Huo Ran was embarrassed, so she changed the topic very interestingly: "Grandpa, people also have their own families, and the Chinese New Year is the time for reunion, how can you not let people go home?" Don't embarrass people."
When Zhu Qiancheng heard this, he also felt that it made sense, so he said embarrassedly: "Also, I was negligent, so let's say this first, Xiaohuo, if you don't have a place to go for the New Year, just come to my house, if the family misses you, you still have to go home to see."
Huo Ran nodded: "Thank you Grandpa Zhu, when I go home, I'll bring you some New Year's goods from my place when I go home."
Zhu Qiancheng nodded, and at this time, someone called him, and Zhu Qiancheng went out in response, leaving Huo Ran and Jiang Mi looking at each other silently, and the atmosphere between the two people always felt a little awkward.
"You ......"
"You ......"
The two of them opened their mouths together, and suddenly the atmosphere became more awkward, Huo Ran smiled: "You say it first."
Jiang Mi shook her head: "I don't have anything to say, what do you want to say?"
Huo Ran thought for a while and said, "Actually, I don't have anything to hide from you, those things are confidential to me, but it's no problem to tell you, my family ......."
Jiang Mi interrupted him: "I know, you don't have to tell me now, when the time comes, you will naturally know, don't force it, and it's useless to know now."
Huo Ran's heart was warm, Jiang Mi took care of his feelings very much, but on the other hand, he was a little angry.
"In that case, let's talk about it later, don't run around, that leper doesn't know where he went, I'll let my people get him away when I go back, so as not to harm others in the future."
"Then I'll trouble you." Jiang Mi didn't know how Huo Ran would treat the leprosy, but she thought that Huo Ran would have her own way.
Huo Ran went back to the field, and Jiang Mi slept at her grandfather's house for a while, until she was woken up by Jiang's mother's voice, and she found that Jiang's mother had come over.
"Just let her sleep for a while, the child must be tired, I heard that the restaurant is very busy with her very well, it must be very hard, don't call her, can I still starve her here?"
Mother Jiang hesitated: "I thought that she would be more uncomfortable when she woke up hungry, so let her be here, and when I go back at night, I will come to pick her up."
When Jiang Mi heard this, she immediately got up and came out: "Mother, have you collected everything in the field?"
Seeing that Jiang Mi woke up, Zhu Qiancheng glared at Jiang's mother dissatisfied: "Look at you, your voice is so loud, the child was woken up by you, right?"
Jiang's mother was embarrassed by her father's words, but Jiang Mi smiled and said, "No, I woke up by myself, I'm a little hungry, is the meal ready, I still want to cook a meal for you at home."
"Yo, when are you allowed to cook, what do the girls cook, my mother is ready, are you eating at your grandfather's house, or are you going home?"
Zhu Qiancheng also looked at Jiang Mi with an expectant face, and Jiang Mi was embarrassed to refuse: "
Then I'll go home after eating at my grandfather's house."
"Hey, that's right." Zhu Qiancheng said happily, and hurriedly brought Jiang Mi's favorite food, and Jiang's mother had to go back first.
When Jiang Mi is full, I wish the future has to send Jiang Mi home in person, for fear that someone will bully her on the road again, Jiang Mi didn't have time to use her huge strength just now, just like a leper, she can fight ten at a time, she is not afraid at all.
But she didn't want to live up to the old man's wishes, so the two of them went home together, and at this time, Huo Ran also took her own people to prepare to continue to go to the ground, and happened to bump into Jiang Mi.
Jiang Cheng's sharp eyes found it, and he hurriedly stood in the middle of the two people: "Honey is back, are you full?" Would you like to eat some more?"
Zhu Qiancheng said unhappily, "Saying this, can I still starve my precious granddaughter?"
In front of his father-in-law, Jiang Cheng's arrogance dissipated suddenly, and he said embarrassedly, "Father, I didn't mean that, I just asked with concern."
Zhu Qiancheng snorted, and his attitude towards Huo Ran was very friendly: "Xiao Huo has eaten?"
Huo Ran nodded: "After eating, I'll go to the field and harvest the remaining potatoes, there is not much left, and it will be finished in a while."
Zhu Qiancheng nodded: "Okay, then you can go."
Looking at Huo Ran's back, Zhu Qiancheng praised: "Xiao Huo is a good person, he looks good and is capable, it is really rare."
Hearing Zhu Qiancheng praise Huo Ran, Jiang Cheng's face was not good-looking, but he didn't dare to disobey his father-in-law, so he could only be silent on the side.
"But what does Xiao Huo want so many potatoes for? Didn't you already ask for a lot of sweet potatoes before?"
However, no one answered here, everyone thought Huo Ran was very strange, but everyone also believed him inexplicably, and besides, he was generous, giving so much money, and he didn't sell it for nothing.
Jiang's mother patted the ashes on her body, and when she saw Jiang Cheng standing at the door in a daze, she called him: "What are you doing here, then Huo Gongzi has gone to the field, you also take our workers with you, finish it early and finish it early, and the remaining waxy corn has to be careful, don't hurt it."
Jiang Cheng replied sullenly, avoiding Zhu Qiancheng and leaving.
"Mother, aren't you going?" Jiang Mi asked.
Jiang's mother said: "I'm cleaning up at home, it's almost the New Year, we have to come back again, don't make a mess at that time, there is not even a place to settle and sleep."
