After sending Zhang Hu away, Zhang Lan returned to the house and saw her parents talking about today's wedding in the hall, and when she saw Zhang Lan entering the house, Zhang Lan's mother asked, "Did the car send it back to others?" Is the oil filling up? ”

"It was Tian Qingyong's car, originally to send it to him, but he just came to look for me and drove away directly." Zhang Lan explained.

"Your aunt just gave me 200 yuan, saying that it was to give you money for gas in the car. You didn't remember it when you left, and she stuffed it for me when I came back. Zhang Lan's mother took out two hundred yuan from her pocket.

Zhang Lan waved her hand and said, "Pretend, I don't want this money." I didn't cheer him on, you don't have to worry about it. ”

After pausing for a while, Zhang Lan said again: "This time, you two will not go to Kyoto with me, now there is a place to live there, I bought that suite and installed it, and now I am in those two suites, which are not far away, and the place is also big." ”

Zhang Lan's mother said on the side: "Let's go after May, and after the Dragon Boat Festival, my relatives will go there to live for a while." ”

"Okay, you tell me a day or two in advance, and I'll clean up the house. Now the house is empty and no one lives in it. Zhang Lan said.

"That's right, talking about the house. Someone in our village wants to use your house at the entrance of Xigou Village to raise sheep, do you like it? Zhang Lan's mother asked.

"Who's going to use it? Didn't my dad always use that to raise chickens? Don't you raise it in the future? Zhang Lan asked with some confusion.

Zhang Lan's father said on the side: "Don't raise it, your aunts talked about me again at the banquet today." He said that I would plant two acres of land at home in the future, enough to eat, and go out for a walk when I have time. It's okay to do less strenuous work, and it's better to raise your body than anything else. ”

"That's okay, you can do it, whoever wants to use it, let him use it." Zhang Lan said indifferently.

"Then the other two houses are also for people's use?" Zhang Lan's mother asked.

Zhang Lan thought for a while and said, "There is no furniture or anything in that room, the question is who uses it?" Our relatives in the village are okay, but the neighbors are not good for the two residents. ”

Zhang Lan's father said on the side: "It's not someone else, it's our old neighbor, Aunt Xinghua." Don't play with your mother, she has asked your mother since our family doesn't raise chickens there. ”

"I remember that Uncle Satisfaction didn't work outside all the time? Can I raise Aunt Xinghua alone? Zhang Lan was a little unconvinced.

Zhang Lan's mother explained: "You are satisfied that your uncle has not gone out at home this year, the old man in the family is old, his health is not good, and he was hospitalized for half a month after the New Year, and he will not be able to go out in the future." ”

"Then if I want to use Aunt Xinghua, I can do it, if it doesn't work, merge the things in the two houses together, and make one room for Aunt Xinghua to live in." There was a man watching the place at night. Zhang Lan said.

"Hmm. I'll go back and talk to your aunt Xinghua, that is, her family will not be able to give rent money for a while, and you are satisfied that Uncle drove a tractor at home a while ago and overturned, and the water tank was suppressed. I burned a lot of my body, and I'm still raising it at home. ”

"Are you okay now?" Zhang Lan hurriedly asked.

"It's okay, it's just that the upper body was scalded by hot water, and I have been lying at home for half a month, and it's almost there. The main reason is that the burned area is large, and you need to drill at home for a period of time to let the skin recover slowly. Zhang Lan's mother said.

Zhang Lan nodded and said, "Whatever you want, you can just take this money in the future, you don't have to give it to me." ”

"Going to stay home for a few days this time? Your daughter-in-law is alone in Kyoto to take care of the two children, so you can go back early if there is nothing to do. Zhang Lan's father said on the side.

Zhang Lan smiled and said, "I don't usually come back, and you drove me away for less than two days after I came back." ”

"What's the use of you coming back alone, a family of four comes back and you want to stay for a few days." Zhang Lan's mother complained.

Zhang Lan said helplessly: "I'll leave tomorrow, Tian Qingyong will have dinner in the evening, I'll leave tomorrow if I have nothing to do after dinner, Yongjun is going to work in the university this year, and it's time to come back for the winter and summer vacations, usually if you are fine, you can take the high-speed train to Kyoto, it will be there in four or five hours, and it will not be troublesome." ”

"We'll talk about that then. Your aunt is right today, your in-laws live with your daughter-in-law and have nothing to do. Don't you have two apartments in Kyoto now, and your father and I will go over when we miss our children, and come back when we stay there for a while and feel homesick. By the way, I knitted two more coarse cloth sheets for you this year, don't forget to take them with you when you leave. Zhang Lan's mother said.

Zhang Lan rubbed her forehead and said, "Mom, why are you weaving again, do you think your body is okay again." Don't you have a backache? ”

Zhang Lan's mother said a little proudly: "You know something. Our piece of weaving cloth is no better than mine, and when people touch the sheets I weave, they all hit it, and a sheet costs 400 yuan. If I work harder and weave a sheet a day, I can earn more than a hundred. ”

Zhang Lan's father said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about your mother's body, now she plays mahjong every day, playing in the afternoon and evening, which is almost the same as when she was young." I see that you shouldn't have nothing to massage her acupuncture, this body is getting better and stronger, and it is not as good as when I had back pain before, I can't beat her if I want to. ”

"You're good, just talk about me, don't you fight every day. This paragraph is lost every day, every time I win one or two hundred, you can lose three or four hundred, and see if you have no money in the future, you can't fight. Zhang Lan's mother was very dissatisfied with Zhang Lan's father's statement and began to uncover the bottom.

Zhang Lan hurriedly persuaded: "It's okay, it's okay, just play mahjong and play, don't play too big." It's better to pay more attention to your body, don't fight day and night. ”

"I play small, it's all five and ten yuan, lose for a while, win for a while. If I was unlucky, I would go to play poker, and in the past two days, I would at most fight a landlord with someone, and I would not lose fifty dollars a day. Zhang Lan's father explained.

"Leave your dad alone, he is playing mahjong now, and people don't join him. The brain doesn't spin in circles, and the cards are still slow. He sat down there and didn't do anything other than pay for it. Zhang Lan's mother said.

Zhang Lan smiled and said, "It's okay, it's good to play poker." When you are free, you two go out for a walk, everyone goes here to play and play there, don't you feel annoyed at home every day? ”

"It's not annoying, it's not annoying. Your dad and I are both sick and carsick, and it's inconvenient to go anywhere when we go far, so it's better to play mahjong at home and fight a landlord. If you have time to burn incense around here, just climb a mountain, and run so far to do something. Zhang Lan's mother said.

Zhang Lan no longer persuaded her, as long as the old couple was happy. It is better to feel comfortable than anything else, and arranging everything is not necessarily to your liking.

In the evening, Tian Qingyong called, Zhang Lan drove the Wrangler to the provincial highway at the entrance of the village, and waited until Tian Qingyong and Jiang Hongxiang drove by one after another, and after greeting each other, Zhang Lan started the car to follow and came to the hot spring hotel by the Baidian River.
