Chapter 202

After seeing off Zhang Hu, Zhang Lan returned to the house and saw his parents talking about today's wedding in the main room. When he saw Zhang Lan entering the house, Zhang Lan's mother asked, "Has the car been sent back? Has the gas been filled up?"

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

"Your aunt just gave me 200 yuan, saying it was for gas in your car. You didn't remember it before you left, and she gave it to me when I came back." Zhang Lan's mother took it out of her pocket. 200 yuan.

Zhang Lan waved his hand and said: "Just pretend, I don't want the money. I didn't cheer for him, so you don't have to worry about it."

After a pause, Zhang Lan said again: "This time you and I are going to Kyoto with me. Now we have a place to live there. I bought that apartment and installed it. Now those two apartments are not far apart." It’s far away and the place is big.”

Zhang Lan's mother said at the side: "Let's go there after May. After the Dragon Boat Festival, we can go there to stay for a while after visiting relatives."

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

"By the way, talking about the house. Someone in our village wants to use your house at the entrance of Xigou Village to raise sheep. Are you interested?" Zhang Lan's mother asked.

"Who wants to use it? Didn't my dad always use it to raise chickens? Will he stop raising chickens in the future?" Zhang Lan asked with some confusion.

Zhang Lan's father said at the side: "I don't want to raise any more. Your aunts talked about me again at the banquet today. They said that I can just plant two acres of land at home to make enough food, and go out for a walk when I have time. Don't do anything else." Working hard and taking good care of your body is better than anything else."

"That's fine, you can figure it out. If anyone wants to use it, let them use it." Zhang Lan said nonchalantly.

"Then the other two buildings are also used by other people?" Zhang Lan's mother asked.

Zhang Lan thought for a while and said: "There is no furniture or anything in that room, so who will use it? It's okay for our relatives in the village, but not for the neighbors."

Zhang Lan's father said from the side: "It's not someone else, it's our old neighbor, your Aunt Xinghua. She doesn't play well with your mother. She has asked your mother since our family stopped raising chickens there."

"I remember, isn't my uncle Satisfied working outside all the time? Can she support my aunt Xinghua on her own?" Zhang Lan didn't quite believe it.

Zhang Lan's mother explained: "Your uncle Satisfied is at home and has not gone out this year. The elderly at home are old and not in good health. He stayed in the hospital for half a month after the New Year and will not be able to go out in the future."

"Then if Aunt Xinghua wants to use it, you can do it. If not, just merge the things in the two houses together and free up one for Aunt Xinghua to live in. There must be someone there at night. Watch." Zhang Lan said.

"Yeah. I'll go back and talk to your Aunt Xinghua. Her family won't be able to pay for the rent for a while. Your Uncle Yiyi overturned the tractor he was driving at home some time ago, causing the water tank to hold it down. He burned a large area on his body, and now I’m still raising him at home.”

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

"It's okay. It's just that the upper body was scalded by hot water. After lying at home for half a month, it's almost done. The main reason is that the burnt area is large, so I need to stay at home for a while to let the skin slowly recover." Zhang Lan's mother said.Zhang Lan nodded and said: "No matter what, you can just keep the money from now on, you don't have to give it to me."

"How many days are you going to stay at home this time? Is it okay for your wife to take care of the two children alone in Kyoto? If nothing happens, go back as soon as possible." Zhang Lan's father said from the side.

Zhang Lan laughed and said, "I don't usually come back, but you kicked me out within two days of my return."

"What's the use of coming back alone? How many days do you want to stay when a family of four is back?" Zhang Lan's mother complained.

Zhang Lan said helplessly: "I'll leave tomorrow. Tian Qingyong will treat me to dinner later in the evening. I'll leave tomorrow if I have nothing to do after dinner. Yongjun is going to work in university this year. It will be time for winter and summer vacation when he comes back. Normally you If you have nothing to do, you can take the high-speed train to Kyoto, and you’ll be there in four or five hours, so it’s not a hassle.”

"Let's talk about it then. Your aunt was right today. The in-laws and daughter-in-law live together just to find trouble. Don't you have two apartments in Kyoto now? Your father and I will go there whenever we want children. We will miss home after staying there for a while. Come back again. 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 his forehead and said, "Mom, why are you weaving again? Do you feel your body is okay again? Don't you think your back hurts?"

Zhang Lan's mother said with a hint of pride: "You know what? There is no one who can weave better than me. When people touch the sheets I weave, they fall in love with them. A bed sheet costs 400 yuan. If I were If you work hard and easily weave a bed sheet a day, you can earn more than 100 yuan."

Zhang Lan's father smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about your mother's health. Now she just plays mahjong every day, afternoon and evening, which is almost the same as when she was young. I looked at you and gave her massage and acupuncture. , now that my body is getting better, I can work harder and harder, it’s not as good as when I had back pain before, and I couldn’t hit her even if I wanted to.”

"You're so good, just tell me, don't you also play every day? This period, you lose every day. Every time I win one or two hundred, you can lose three or four hundred. Look, you will still fight when you have no money. No beating." Zhang Lan's mother was very dissatisfied with Zhang Lan's father's words and began to reveal the truth.

Zhang Lan quickly persuaded: "It's okay, just play mahjong for a while, don't play too much. You should pay more attention to your health and don't play day and night."

"I play small, it's always five yuan or ten yuan. I lose for a while and win for a while. Whenever I have bad luck, I go to play poker. In the past two days, I just fight with others for a dollar a time. You can't lose 50 yuan in a day." Zhang Lan's father explained.

"Don't worry about your dad. He doesn't even play mahjong anymore and people don't play with him. He doesn't think well and is slow at playing cards. He's sitting there and has done nothing but pay." Zhang Lan's mother said.

Zhang Lan said with a smile: "It's okay, playing poker is also good. You two go out for a walk when you have free time. Everyone goes here and there to play. Don't you find it annoying to be at home every day?"

"It's not annoying, it's not annoying. Your dad and I both get carsick. It's inconvenient to go anywhere if we walk far away. It's better to play mahjong and fight landlords at home. When you have time, just burn some incense and climb a mountain nearby. It's okay to go so far away. What to do?" Zhang Lan's mother said.

Zhang Lan stopped trying to persuade them, and the old couple could just be happy on their own.Feeling comfortable is better than anything else. Having everything arranged does not necessarily mean it will be what people want.

In the evening, Tian Qingyong called. Zhang Lan drove the Wrangler to the provincial road at the entrance of the village. He waited until Tian Qingyong and Jiang Hongxiang drove past one after another. After saying hello, Zhang Lan started the car and followed, arriving at the Baidian River. In a hot spring hotel.
