Chapter 269 Tan Zhengping is back
Zhou Haoran didn't quite know if someone could replace him when he went to the countryside to jump in the queue. After all, he didn't sign up to jump in the queue himself.
But the parents of Qi Li are also weird.
How can any parent rush to let his children suffer in the countryside?
Boss Yang seemed to know what he was thinking and continued:
"It's also Yuezi's fault. You also know that the conditions in our village are good. He lent a lot of grain to this group of educated youths in July. I don't know if the little educated youth is letting his parents make him stupid. He doesn't keep the grain he borrowed.
Sent directly back home..."
Zhou Haoran came to understand after listening.
The reason why Qi Li was poisoned was because he ate something from Tieniu Mountain, and the reason why he went up the mountain was because he sent all the food in the team home.
And the parents who didn't care about their son's life and death saw that their son had just sent food back to the countryside. They thought that his life would be better where he went to the countryside. They didn't want to lose this subsidy, so they planned to let other children in the family come over.
Zhou Haoran pinched the corners of his eyes and fell into thinking.
After a long time, he raised his head, looked at Mr. Yang who was drinking tea and eating melon seeds with gusto, and said:
"Brother Yang, don't let Nuan'er know what you just said to me, I'm afraid of her..."
"Don't worry." Boss Yang gave him an "I understand" look, "A mother-in-law with a baby shouldn't worry about these men, I know that!"
Zhou Haoran looked at him with a confident face and hesitated to express his thoughts.
Forget it, as long as Nuan'er doesn't know about it, it'll be fine.
"What are you worrying about?" At this moment, Zhang Chunnuan's confused voice came from outside the door.
Seeing the two of them looking over, she smiled and said, "The food is ready, you can talk while you eat."
After saying this, she turned and left.
Boss Yang patted his chest lightly and said to Zhou Haoran: "Your mother-in-law didn't make any sound when she walked. It scared me!"
Zhou Haoran suspected that Zhang Chunnuan had heard something, so he ignored Boss Yang's words and led him out of the main room and towards the dining pavilion.
Sitting in the dining pavilion, Mr. Yang smelled the aroma of the food on the table and looked left and right at the dining pavilion with interest.
"I also asked why you go outside the main room to eat. It turns out that your house even has a small pavilion for eating!"
As he spoke, he moved the dining table and found that it was not moving, so he added a little more force.
Zhou Haoran poured him wine and explained when he saw this: "Brother Yang, don't bother, this table is dead."
He said, pointing to the table legs that were firmly nailed to the ground, "Originally, this table was alive. Once, the twins got too noisy while eating and overturned the table. Nuan'er asked people to dig up the ground and lift the table legs.
Buried in."
Boss Yang said oh and continued to look at it. His attention was attracted by the smell of wine in front of him and he stopped, but he still said:
"This pavilion is great, but it's winter. You have to freeze when you eat. Look at the wind blowing against your back. Even good people can get into trouble..."
Zhou Haoran heard Boss Yang's nagging voice in his ears. He didn't show it on his face, but he was complaining in his heart——
When it's cold in winter, won't we go to the main room to eat? The table is dead, but people are alive! There is not only one table in the house, if my wife wants, dozens or hundreds of sets of tables and chairs can be made for you.
Mr. Yang said that his mouth was dry and his tongue finally stopped.
Picking up the wine glass, he took a sip first and said, "Good wine!"
Seeing that his attention finally returned to the dinner table, Zhou Haoran quickly brought him some food, "Brother Yang, don't just drink, eat food!"
The meal lasted from noon until the sun turned red. In the meantime, Zhang Chunnuan asked Wang Xinyu to call Zhou Lixue and Zhou Jianjun.
This brother-in-law is here. As a brother-in-law, how can he not come and drink with him?
In fact, Zhang Chunnuan didn't want Zhou Haoran to drink too much and harm his health, so he thought of finding two more people to accompany the guest.
There was no suitable person at home, so Xiao Lin could have had a drink or two at the table, but yesterday he took Mr. Zhou to the city and said he wanted to have a physical check-up, and would bring Tan Zhengping back when he came back.
When Xiao Lin mentioned it, the whole family remembered that Tan Zhengping had not come back.
How pitiful!
After the meal, Zhou Lixue and Zhou Jianjun helped each other down the mountain. Zhou Haoran saw the drunk Mr. Yang and started to have a headache.
How to send people back?
Just when he had a headache, the mistress came home from school and brought with him a pickled Tan Zhengping.
"Zhou! Hao! Ran!"
Tan Zhengping stood in the Shen family yard with rumpled clothes and an unshaven beard. Looking at Zhou Haoran sitting in the dining pavilion smelling of alcohol, he felt hateful and aggrieved.
Okay, what a good brother. I was eating bran-thick vegetables in the militia camp, but he was eating delicious food at home!
Zhang Chunnuan came out of the room when he heard the noise and was surprised when he saw Tan Zhengping, "Zhengping, why are you back? Didn't Xiaolin come back tomorrow? Where are he and grandpa?"
She thought Tan Zhengping was brought back by the old man and Xiao Lin, and looked around the yard for the old man.
"Sister-in-law~~~~" This call almost made Zhang Chunnuan flinch.
What the hell?
The sound at the end was more winding than a mountain road, and it gave her goosebumps.
Zhang Chunnuan subconsciously took half a step back and followed the sound.
What came into view was Tan Zhengping's unshaven, haggard and pitiful face.
"Zhengping, you have suffered a lot. Look...you have aged several years."
Zhang Chunnuan stayed far away, with a caring face. He turned around and raised his voice and said into the room: "Xiao Yu'er, your Uncle Zhengping is back!"
She didn't dare let anyone enter the house like this, because who knew if there were any blood-sucking and germ-carrying "cuties" on her body.
"Zhengping, I'll ask Xiao Yu'er to boil hot water for you. You should take a good bath first, and my sister-in-law will prepare something delicious for you!"
As she said that, she turned her head and glanced at Zhou Haoran. Seeing that he had no time to look after Mr. Yang, she had to look at the third son who was hiding nearby and watching the fun. Just as she was about to speak, there were slightly hasty footsteps behind her.
I looked back and saw Wang Xinyu running over.
"Xiao Yu'er, why are you running? Your uncle Zhengping is not that anxious."
It's been dirty for so long anyway.
She didn't say the last words, and just asked Xiao Yu'er to go to the kitchen to boil hot water.
Fortunately, the Shen family has a habit of putting half a pot of water on the stove that is still burning after cooking.
Xiao Yu'er entered the kitchen and soon went out to the bathroom to get a bucket to fill the hot water.
"No, no need, I'll do it by myself." Tan Zhengping only glanced at Xiao Yu'er quickly when she came out, then kept his head down and said nothing.
He was afraid that she would see him like this.
But when Xiao Yuer helped him fill the bath water, he felt embarrassed and shy.
Xiao Yu'er pursed her lips and glanced at him. All she saw was a head of messy and tangled hair, and she said coldly:
"Uncle Zhengping suffered a crime because he helped me. It's my duty to help Uncle Zhengping take a bath."
Although he knew that one "serve" was not the other "serve", Qing Lingling's words still made Tan Zhengping's whole head burn.
Zhang Chunnuan stood in front of the main door, looked at the two people, touched his chin, and thought to himself: Why are these two people so strange? Is there something I don't know?
Just when she wanted to ask Zhou Haoran, she heard him call Xiaosanzi.
"Xiao Sanzi, go and borrow the oxcart from Uncle Lixue. I have to send Brother Yang back as soon as possible, otherwise his family will be worried when it gets dark."
