If there were a few people or a dozen people, Zhang Lan would be able to treat them easily. But as soon as the stage is set up, there are not ten or eight elderly people from Shili and Eight Villages who come to listen to the play, and there are at least 100 people in front of the stage every day, and there are also people from the same village and neighboring villages who do not go home at noon to listen to the play.

This kind of old man who listens to the play chats about it, it is all from several villages before and after, everyone can get in touch, lead people over and say to help take a look at the body, if they collect money, they will not be treated, but it is simply to help see, as more and more people watch the play, there are more and more elderly people who come to sit at Zhang Lan's house.

Most of the elderly are still very particular, usually just sit in the yard or at the door, chatting or something. But if there are too many people, there will be that kind of dead face, and the opening is that I am a cousin or a cousin of yours, come and let me see the physical condition.

Where is uncomfortable in the body, see if there is any way. This kind of person who relies on the old and sells the old either doesn't talk to him anyway, as long as he talks around, he can always turn to the topic.

At the beginning, there were indeed some old people who came to Zhang Lan to walk through the ceremony when she got married, and usually Zhang Lan was not at home, and people would not come over to disturb him.

Now by watching the play, Zhang Lan's family is a relative, come to borrow a bench, take a cup of boiling water or something to chat casually, see Zhang Lan at home, talk about the recent problems, let Zhang Lan see if it can be solved.

Most of them are underlying diseases, and there are not many elderly people in rural areas who are seriously ill, and most of them know that they will not say anything to outsiders if they can persevere.

It's the kind of person who shouts all day long that it's uncomfortable here, and most of the time it's not particularly serious.

Because of the half-month opera, there are all kinds of snacks and snacks that come when I hear the sound. The old man's teeth and mouth are not good, and some of them lead their grandchildren and the like, because there are problems with one bite of food, so Zhang Lan dealt with the choking twice and the one that was burned.

After driving to the city, Zhang Lan felt obviously much more relaxed. I took the gift and went to my aunt's house to sit down, but my aunt was still the same as before, and the relationship with her in-laws was not very good.

In other words, Aunt Zhang Lan and Aunt Zhang Lan's father's father have a very bad relationship, and the two of them are not used to each other. But now Zhang Lan's brother-in-law's father's health is getting worse day by day, and he was still in the hospital for more than a month.

At this time, it was not suitable for the old couple to live in their hometown again, so Zhang Lan's sister-in-law took them to the city.

The relationship between Aunt Zhang Lan and her in-laws is not handled well, and Aunt Zhang Lan's husband is helpless, after all, the old man is now old and confused, that is his biological parents, he is a male at home, although there is a sister above, but here in Canghe, the default is male pension, and he can't leave the two old people alone.

And then now Aunt Zhang Lan still lives next door to Zhang Lan's house, anyway, after the house was bought, Zhang Lan didn't plan to rent it, so Aunt Zhang Lan lived if she wanted to.

Zhang Lan went to the aunt's house next door with the gifts, knocked on the door, and it was Yang Jingjing who opened the door, and her eyes lit up when she saw Zhang Lan: "Brother, you are here." ”

Then Yang Jingjing turned her head and shouted into the room: "Mom, I'm Brother Zhang Lan here." ”

Aunt Zhang Lan came out of the kitchen next to her when she heard the sound, and said with a smile when she saw Zhang Lan: "Zhang Lan, you are here, why are you still carrying things, don't enter the door if you come over with things in the future." ”

"There's nothing left, it's all given by people, and I can't eat it at home." Zhang Lan replied with a smile.

"Zhang Lan, you sit down for a while, I'll steam the buns here, and it will be fine right away, and the last two buns will be fine when they are kneaded and put in the pot." Jingjing went wash an apple for your brother. Aunt Zhang Lan said.

Yang Jingjing nodded, and Zhang Lan hurriedly stopped: "No, no, just pour a glass of water." ”

"Zhang Lan, don't leave at noon, let's eat here, it just happens that I will steam buns today, and I will go to the supermarket at the door to buy some food, and we will eat steamed buns at noon." Aunt Li Xiulan said loudly to Zhang Lan while rubbing in the kitchen.

"I'm living next to me for the past few days, and I'm going to eat at my aunt's house for two days, don't be annoyed, auntie." Zhang Lan said with a smile.

"Hey, what you said, don't talk about it for the past two days, I've been eating here." Aunt Li Xiulan returned with a smile.

Zhang Lan's gaze turned to Yang Jingjing on the side: "Jingjing, why are you at home now?" Not going to school today? ”

"I've graduated, and now I'm waiting for the time to finish the exam and get my graduation certificate." Yang Jingjing replied.

"They're all graduated now? What's going on? Zhang Lan asked with some confusion.

Aunt Zhang Lan wiped her hands and walked out of the kitchen, sighed and said: "I did an internship for half a year in the second half of last year, and this year the school said that I had to go for an internship for half a year, so I didn't let her go, and when the time comes, just find someone to stamp an internship stamp." ”

Zhang Lan nodded: "In this way, now Jingjing is finished, can't she go to college or junior college?" ”

Her teacher said that when the time comes, she will go directly to the exam, and she will just register after the exam. But there are other specific requirements, and I don't understand them clearly, Jingjing knows a little more clearly. Heck, she can't learn anything, but if she worked hard in junior high school, she wouldn't be what she is now. Aunt Zhang Lan sat down on the sofa next to her, and sighed helplessly as she spoke.

"Mom, you say that every time. I've said it, it's not that I don't learn, I can't learn what I can do. Yang Jingjing retorted very weakly.

Zhang Lan hurriedly smiled and said, "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't study well." As long as you are willing to go up, just follow along and get a diploma. ”

Aunt Li Xiulan nodded, glanced at Yang Jingjing and said: "That's all Jingjing is, she never argues with others, she just lets her go, and she learns when she learns." Even the school asked me to go to the internship, the kind of electronics factory in the south, some of the other people in the class ran back in three or five days, and she stayed up for three months anyway, and her classmates came back before she came back. ”

"Isn't that good, obedient and sensible. If you don't study well, you don't have to be afraid, and it's not all about learning well in this society to have another way to go. Zhang Lan smiled and comforted.

Aunt Li Xiulan sighed: "Yes, it's not that if you don't go to school, you won't have another way." But teachers have said that going to school is the easiest day of your life. Aren't these parents thinking that her future path will be better? ”

Yang Jingjing's face on the side was getting darker and darker, and Zhang Lan hurriedly continued to play a round: "Auntie, it's time for you, you don't have to nag a few words." Jingjing is okay and can read books, although she doesn't go to internships, but she doesn't suffer a loss by reading books. When it's time to take the exam, you may be able to get into a better school if you take a few more points. We don't force the university, and we can get into a better junior college. ”

Yang Jingjing nodded and said, "That's what I said to my mother, but she has to nag a few words every once in a while now." (End of chapter)
