Chapter 18: Xie Ruidong is here
Discovering such a situation made Zhang Lan suddenly have an idea. The sleeves are big, and the sun and moon are long in the pot. He wanted to transform the gourd into a portable space like the one written in the novel.
After merit refining, the space in the gourd is not large, but it is also twenty cubic meters in size. Looking at the gray space in the gourd, Zhang Lan's heart moved, the mobile phone on the side disappeared, and there was a familiar mobile phone in the gourd. With another thought, the phone returned to its original place.
The repeated income release was carried out several times, and when Zhang Lan was about to put the coffee table in front of him and try it, a message came, Zhang Lan's face was dark, his energy was insufficient, and he needed to replenish it with merit.
I got up and looked at the sky, it was a hot day again, and it was only 8 o'clock and I felt very hot. Zhang Lan went out and went into the east house and turned on the air conditioner. With the new air conditioner and the small size of the room, Zhang Lan breathed a sigh of relief, slumped on the recliner and didn't want to move. Mother Li Ying took her father Zhang Dahai to Aunt Zhang Lan's house to visit relatives today, otherwise she would have nagged when she saw Zhang Lan's lazy appearance now.
When the phone rang, Zhang Lan had just sent the two aunts from the same village away, and the two came to worship the Bodhisattva together, asking the Bodhisattva to help see that his son was in his thirties, and blessed his son to get married as soon as possible. Zhang Lan himself has not yet settled, and the Bodhisattva may not care about this business here.
Looking at the call on the screen, Zhang Lan smiled and answered it: "Where has Boss Xie made a fortune recently, why did you remember to call your younger brother?" ”
The caller's name is Xie Ruidong, Zhang Lan's college classmate, not from the same dormitory, the two met in a game club, and they also smell like. After coming out of society, they often have contacts, and occasionally have dinner together on holidays. Later, Xie Ruidong was admitted to the civil service in his hometown, plus he got married and had children, and slowly became infrequent to meet, although the friendship has always been there, but the contact is gradually decreasing.
"What kind of fortune can I make, day by day in the unit. Zhang Lan: What have you been busy with lately? How did I hear that you resigned? Xie Ruidong on the phone asked.
"It's nothing, it's not a matter to be out all the time, I'm the only one at home. Boss Xie in H City, you also know that the person who earned the three melons and two dates with me couldn't settle down there, and the housing prices in my hometown were cheap, and when I reached this age, I came home. Zhang Lan doesn't want to shout about her father's affairs everywhere, in this society, there are people who hate and laugh at others, just live your own life.
"Yes. That Zhang Lan, are you staying at home now? How can we help? ”
Xie Ruidong's home is on the outskirts of the commercial city, about two hours by car. Last time, Zhang Lan went to the antique street of the commercial market, thinking of calling Xie Ruidong to get together, but after thinking about it, Xie Ruidong's enthusiasm was generally unbearable.
Xie Ruidong is a man from all over the world and has friends everywhere. One of the phrases that often hangs on my lips is "You come to me to do something, as long as I can do it, I won't drop you on the ground." "As long as you find him to do something, there is nothing he can do without helping. Similarly, the first thing Xie Ruidong does is to find a relationship, and the last thing Zhang Lan's character wants is to trouble others, as long as he can do it, he doesn't want to owe favors even if he is troublesome.
"I'm fine, what can I do in my hometown. Get together when you're free. ”
"Just wait for this sentence, and it will be you in a while? Now on the way, take advantage of the weekend to play in your reservoir. There are four of us, three adults take my little princess, remember to greet it. Xie Ruidong on the other end of the phone laughed.
"Warm welcome, I'll send you the location, call me when you get to the entrance of the village."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Lan took the car keys and went straight to the supermarket. Pork ribs, tenderloin, chicken wings, tofu and shrimp skin, you don't need to buy anything else, you have it at home.
At about ten o'clock in the morning, when Zhang Lan was busy in the kitchen, the phone rang. Zhang Lan put down the kitchen knife in her hand and answered the phone to tell Xie Ruidong how to go.
Zhang Lan's house was very close to the main road at the entrance of the village, and under Zhang Lan's command, he heard the ticking of the horn after a while. After entering the door, Xie Ruidong and Zhang Lan first came to a warm hug. Then he looked Zhang Lan up and down: "Yes, Zhang Lan, I haven't seen you for a few months, and now the whole person has changed, and I have abdominal muscles." ”
After that, he reached out and patted Zhang Lan's stomach, and his mouth was slurking.
Zhang Lan smiled and stretched out Xie Ruidong's arm and let Xie Ruidong and the others sit down on the sofa. took out the washed fruit from the kitchen and put it on the coffee table, and then said with a smile: "Boss Xie is a lot fatter, sister-in-law, you don't care, you can't walk this way." ”
On the side, Xie Ruidong's daughter-in-law Huang Shasha picked up an orange and said while peeling it: "Zhang Lan, you don't know Xie Ruidong yet, if you don't drink for a day, it's like you're going to die, and I can still manage him." ”
"Then this is Boss Xie's fault, but at this time, it's time for our little princess to go out, and when you see your father drinking in the future, you will get angry with him, and it's not good to coax him."
Xie Ruidong's daughter Xie Yunfei is just 6 years old this year, and she was eating the oranges that Huang Shasha peeled for her, and she said loudly when she heard the words: "Dad heard it, you are not allowed to drink without my permission in the future!" ”
Everyone laughed, and after some laughter, Xie Ruidong reclined on the sofa and said, "Zhang Lan, are you at home by yourself?" What about aunts and uncles? ”
"They went to relatives and won't be back at noon today."
"Shall we go out to eat at noon? It's not too early, are there any more unique restaurants nearby? Xie Ruidong said and prepared to get up.
"Eat at home, I have bought all the dishes. The kitchen is already simmering. Zhang Lan hurriedly stopped.
"Zhang Lan, let's talk about it first, I have no objection to eating at home. But if you eat it whole, I won't eat it, and I won't pay for it when the time comes. Xie Ruidong grinned.
"Don't worry, you're satisfied. I'll go look at the pot first, and you guys talk. Zhang Lan kicked Xie Ruidong, got up and went into the kitchen to start working, the ribs and chicken wings were almost stewed, and it was time to adjust the heat and season.
Zhang Lan had just gone into the kitchen to turn the stewed chicken wings to medium heat to reduce the juice, and was adjusting the stewed pork ribs on the side to a high heat, when Huang Shasha walked in from outside.
"Zhang Lan, why don't you go sit and talk to Ruidong, I'll make this dish, right?" Go get the kitchen knife on the board.
Looking at Huang Shasha's virtuous appearance, Zhang Lan had to sigh at Xie Ruidong's shit luck. The hall is up and the kitchen is beautiful. Why is it cheap Xie Ruidong, and he is dead set on Xie Ruidong. When the two first fell in love, Xie Ruidong's house had not been demolished, but there were a few dilapidated houses and a car more than ten years old, so he chased Huang Shasha. At a party, Xie Ruidong took Huang Shasha to participate, 'the good cabbage was arched by pigs', and several other people at the party, including Zhang Lan, were called sour, and Xie Ruidong on the side was still laughing proudly, and Zhang Lan and others cleaned up hard before stopping.
