Old Man Li's family has an ox cart, and Li Jun is driving this cart.
After arriving at the Li family's old house, Li Jun stopped the bullock cart and said to Old Man Li who was sitting on the side of the cart: "Master, thank you brothers for helping me with my sister's affairs today. Please tell Uncle Hua for me. The day after tomorrow, my family will Invite everyone to dinner.”
Old Man Li knew that his clan members should help him and that his family should treat guests, but he didn't know how much his grandson owed from outside and how much he had on hand now.
After thinking about it, he said: "Thank you is appropriate. You don't have to worry about the treat. We will take care of it at home. If you have money, pay off all the external debts first. From now on, you will not be alone. My sister and two nieces still need to rely on you."
Li Jun felt warm in his heart when he heard this, but he still insisted: "Master, I have been working for the escort agency recently and I can make money. You don't have to worry about repaying the debt. I will take good care of my sister and Da Ya Er Ya."
"Buy some rice, flour, oil, salt, meat and vegetables for a treat. If we set up three tables, two hundred coins should be enough. But then I may need help from my grandmother and my aunt. Look at this..."
Old Man Li: "As long as you know what's going on, I'll tell you where your baby is. You don't need to buy rice, noodles or vegetables. I'll let your baby bring them over when the time comes."
"If you want to buy it, just cut a few kilograms of meat. Later, I will ask Ruizi to get some fish from the river, and then let your elder brother go to the mountain to see if he can trap two rabbits."
"In addition, if you buy some eggs, it should be about the same. By the way, you can't touch your sister's money, and don't think about it. It's for her health and baby."
Li Jun nodded: "I know, then, I'll go back first!"
After saying this, he jumped off the bullock cart, turned around and picked up Li Yuan, and entered the house with Wang Can and Yang Gaowu, each holding a child.
Before Xie Yanzhi went back, he heard the noise and came out to open the door with one arm hanging.
What caught the eye was Li Jun holding a woman wrapped in a quilt whose face could not be seen clearly, and behind him Yang Gaowu and an unfamiliar girl, each of them holding a child who was already asleep.
"Brother Yang, you and this girl, send the two children to my room to sleep first. I'll clean up the room, and then I'll take the two children there later."
After saying this, he looked at Xie Yanzhi, who had a new injury on his body: "Brother Xie, when the doctor came to see your injury, did you ask someone to bring you some food? We didn't even have dinner."
This was the first time Li Yuan saw Xie Yanzhi. From her perspective, the man in front of her looked thin and frail, as if he would run away if the wind blew.
What surprised her even more was that this man's face was bruised and swollen, and he couldn't see clearly at all. He even had his arms hanging on his chest.
He didn't seem to feel any pain, or in other words, he gave the impression that being injured was something he was accustomed to.
It's unlikely that he was so thin because of poverty. After all, the clothes he wore were of good quality.
But even if he is rich, he doesn't look like it. Who with money would make himself look like an African refugee?
Moreover, his clothes were somewhat torn, but the tatters did not appear to be the result of wear and tear, but rather they had not been worn for long and were damaged accidentally later on.
Xie Yanzhi didn't know that he looked strange in Li Yuan's eyes. After hearing Li Jun's words, he nodded and said.
"I guess you should be back tonight. I'm afraid that you haven't eaten yet, so I asked the bun shop to send some buns over. I don't dare to help heat them. They are placed in the iron pot in the kitchen at the moment."
Yang Gaowu had already carried Erya into Li Jun's room to sleep. Hearing this when he came out, he subconsciously asked: "Look at your arms. Didn't you trip over the threshold and fall when you were putting the buns in the kitchen?" Bar?"
From the corner of his eye, Xie Yanzhi caught sight of Li Yuan looking at him curiously, and shook his head completely nonchalantly: "It's really not the case this time!"
"Then how did you do this?"
"I had an emergency in the afternoon and wanted to relieve myself. As I was approaching the latrine, I suddenly tripped on my left foot and fell on my right foot. Fortunately, Junzi was worried and asked the children from the old house to come and take a look when he left. Otherwise, I would definitely Go to the latrine, then you won't be able to see me now."
Li Yuan and Wang Can were dumbfounded when they heard him telling this matter in an extremely flat tone.
It seems that what he is talking about is other people's business and has nothing to do with him!
What kind of bad luck did this man have? Why did he look so calm?
Could it be that he has experienced too much?
Wang Can felt that of the three men here, she was the only one who was considered a stranger, and she came here to help Li Jun take care of Li Yuan. When he saw this, he stood up and said, "I'm going to the kitchen to heat up the buns. By the way, brother Junzi, at home Do you have rice noodles?”
"There's no noodles, there's some rice, but it's just broken rice."
"As long as you have it, I'll make some broken rice porridge for Sister Yuan. By the way, I'm going to live here next, so I'll call you Brother Junzi. Just like Sister Yuan, just call me Canniang."
After Wang Can said this, he walked to the kitchen, regardless of how the three men present would react after hearing this.
When Li Jun and Yang Gaowu heard this, they didn't think anything of it. However, Xie Yanzhi had a story-telling look on his face, and he even looked at people with inquiring eyes.
Li Jun just thought that he was prone to overthinking when writing scripts, and ignored him at all. He said to Li Yuan: "Sister, please stay here for a while while I clean up your room. No one has lived there for a long time, and the dust is big."
As he said that, he did not dare to ask the unlucky Xie Yanzhi for help, so he said to Yang Gaowu: "Brother Yang, come and help me."
"good!"
After the two left, only Xie Yanzhi and Li Yuan were left in the hall.
This was the first time Xie Yanzhi took a serious look at Li Yuan, and saw that she was exactly as he thought. She was delicate, frail, pale, and looked extremely pitiful.
It can be said that it is very consistent with the sickly and beautiful woman in his novel.
This kind of person has outstanding appearance and gentle personality. When he was young, his family had many girls in his family.
If you marry the right person, you can live a happy life.
But if she marries the wrong person and her natal family is not strong enough, then she can push herself to death.
The person in front of me, looking at her current condition, obviously belongs to the latter.
But she must have woken up, right?
Otherwise, his eyes would not look so clear.
When seeing his foreign husband, he would either avoid it and lower his eyes out of embarrassment, or he would be immersed in sadness alone, with his eyes blurred by tears.
But she was neither of them at the moment, and she was still staring at herself as if she were looking at something rare. It was really weird!
Xie Yanzhi was very eloquent. He and Li Yuan were now in a room alone. If they didn't speak, they would look awkward, so they cleared their throats and spoke slowly.
"Sister, my name is Xie Yanzhi. I live in the second house of Rongshu Lane in the east of the city. I am good friends with your brother Li Jun. We didn't have time to prepare a gift when we met for the first time. I will make up for it when we get back!"
In the novel Li Yuan read, there was no such character at all. After hearing him introduce himself, she replied.
"I think you should know that my name is Li Yuan. But I am already the mother of two children, so I may be older than you. Since you and Junzi are brothers, why don't you call me Sister Yuan? As for gifts, that's not necessary. Let's Rural people don’t like this!”
