Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 1284 Love between old and young!
The tractor continued to move forward and finally disappeared on the distant horizon.

But Grandma Xie and Grandpa Xie still stood there, unwilling to leave for a long time.

After a long time, Grandpa Xie patted Grandma Xie on the shoulder and said, "Let's go back!"

Grandma Xie took another look at the tractor that had disappeared and sighed: "Let's go back!"

The two old people supported each other and went back to the house. The atmosphere was harmonious, but there was a feeling that no one else could interfere.

Zhou Huizhen and Hu Anmei on the side looked at each other, turned away tacitly, and went about their own business, leaving the old couple some time alone.

To be honest, Zhang Yu's sudden departure was a bit difficult for the two elderly people, and even the aunts like them, to adapt.

On the other side, as the tractor drove through familiar fields, Zhang Yu's thoughts drifted far away.

After some contemplation, Xie Zhiyuan finally handed the letter to Zhang Yu. He said calmly: "I'm giving this letter to you. It's up to you whether you are willing to deliver it or not.

If you want to go, go. If you don’t want to go, just pretend that this letter doesn’t exist. Don’t worry too much about it.”

After that, he added, "Besides anything else, since your second uncle is willing to be friends with that person and is willing to write to her, it proves that the girl's character is absolutely fine, even though she is a bit absurd."

When he said the last sentence, Xie Zhiyuan hesitated a little, as if he had thought of something, and his expression looked like he wanted to take the letter back from his nephew.

Zhang Yu silently put the letter into his bag, pretending not to notice the disappointment and worry in his uncle's eyes.

As for whether to go or not, his mind was confused after hearing such explosive information.

To be honest, even if her second uncle had said at the time that the man had a crush on his father, she wouldn't be so confused now.

Wait a minute, let him digest it, and then decide whether he wants to be the errand boy.

Being older does have its advantages. At least you are more knowledgeable and can withstand more hardships than young people.

Zhang Yu was still confused, but Xie Zhiyuan had already recovered. Rather than being unable to adapt, he was more worried that his eldest nephew would learn bad habits.

But think about it, it shouldn’t be that necessary.

My eldest nephew is not so easily deceived.

However, he would still say a few more words when he wrote to his eldest nephew next time.

Otherwise, my eldest nephew would be taught badly if there is no adult watching over him.

Zhang Yu didn't know what his uncle was thinking, he just tried hard to digest the shocking news.

When he came to his senses, he saw his uncle chatting with the team leader.

"How come you have time to go to the county town today?" Xie Zhiyuan asked in some confusion. Although there is a water pump, the weather has been too dry recently. In addition, there is a lot of land in the team, which means that even if the water pump is turned on for a whole day, there are still many fields that are not dry.

The main reason was that there was only one water pump and there were many fields. Before Wang Wang had finished watering the fields once, the fields he had watered before had dried up again.

Thinking of this, Xie Zhiyuan looked at the tractor under him again and became even more puzzled.

In the past, the team leader would like the water pump to run 24 hours a day, but today he is reluctant to let the water pump stop working.

Speaking of this, the captain sighed, "Shouldn't Ermao and Dapang be discharged from the hospital? The injuries of the two children have not healed completely, especially Ermao, who is the most seriously injured. He needs to be nursed for at least half a year.

The two kids can't be bothered, and Xiaoyu also needs to go back home, so I thought I might as well use the tractor for once."

Xie Zhiyuan nodded.

He also saw how Ermao looked at that time, and it was clear that he would not be able to recover in a short period of time.

After a bumpy journey, we finally arrived at the county town.

Since Zhang Yu's train ticket departed in the afternoon, he had relatively ample time, so after discussion, they decided to go to the hospital first to check on the two children.

The tractor slowly stopped in front of the hospital gate, raising a cloud of dust before returning to calm.

The captain quickly jumped out of the car, strode into the hospital, and carefully inquired about the children's condition.

Not long after, he returned with a look of relief.

"How are the two children?" the tractor driver asked anxiously.

His father and Ermao's father are cousins, and the two families have a good relationship, so when he heard that the team leader was coming to pick up the two children, he volunteered.

The captain also knew that the two families had a good relationship, so he waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, the two children are fine now. The doctor said that after the two children have their injections today, they can go through the discharge procedures."

"That's good!" The tractor driver breathed a sigh of relief.

His father had been worried about Ermao a lot during this period of time. Now everything is finally fine. Ermao is back home, and his father can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Considering that the two children would probably not finish their injections until one or two o'clock in the afternoon, the team leader discussed with Xie Zhiyuan and decided to go to the state-owned restaurant for dinner first.

The state-owned restaurant they ate at was the same one they went to last time, which was very close to the hospital.

As I walked into the restaurant, a familiar scent hit me.

Zhang Yu gently lifted the curtain and stepped into this place full of fireworks.

The waiter at the counter recognized him at a glance, his eyes sparkling with surprise and enthusiasm, his smile blooming like a flower. Before he could speak, he took the initiative to greet him: "Little brother, you are here! What would you like to eat today? We have launched several new special dishes here, the taste is excellent, I guarantee you will be satisfied."

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "That's great. Thank you for your help."

"No trouble, no trouble!" The waiter smiled and waved his hand, then lowered his voice and said, "It's a coincidence that you came today. My grandfather stewed braised pork today, and there are not many left. How about it, do you want one?"

As he spoke, he patted his chest and said proudly: "Let me tell you, my grandfather's braised pork is a must-try. Everyone who has eaten it says it's good. It's only because you're here that I would never give it up, otherwise."

Zhang Yu's eyes lit up. After eating the braised pork cooked by this chef last time, he thought about it for a long time.

"Give me one!" Zhang Yu said impatiently.

Then he looked at the small blackboard next to him: "Also have a portion of braised flat fish, fried pork liver with garlic, and finally a dish of three fresh delicacies, and some steamed buns..."

Listening to Zhang Yu ordering food, the captain repeatedly stopped him: "Enough, enough! Xiaoyu, that's enough!"

Zhang Yu turned his head and said with a smile: "It's okay, I've got the lunch box, you guys can eat as much as you want, if you can't finish it, we can pack it up."

When it was time to pay, the team leader wanted to rush to pay but was stopped by Xie Zhiyuan.

"Brother Zhiyuan, hey! Get out of the way! I can't let Xiaoyu spend money alone."

Xie Zhiyuan stopped him firmly: "Just sit here honestly, how can I let my nephew down?"

After paying the money, Zhang Yu went back to his seat and waited.

It was not yet noon, so there were not many people around. The four of them occupied a table.

After a while, the dishes were served.

Looking at the dishes on the table, the tractor driver and the team leader couldn't help swallowing.

They haven't eaten so much greasy food for a long time.

None of them were the talkative type, and the food on the table was very tempting, so they had no time to talk and were only focused on eating.

When the meal was almost finished, Zhang Yu looked down at the time and estimated in his mind that the state-owned restaurant would soon be filled.

He stood up and took out a lunch box from the small bag he carried with him.

"Uncle, I'm full. You guys continue eating. I'll go pack some food and bring it back for grandpa and grandma." Xie Zhiyuan nodded and stood up: "I'll go."

Zhang Yu shook his head, glanced in the direction of the waiter, and said meaningfully: "It won't work if you go."

As soon as these words came out, Xie Zhiyuan immediately understood and just whispered: "Be careful!"

After Zhang Yu left, the captain gave Xie Zhiyuan a thumbs up with envy and praised: "You are such a filial nephew!"

Xie Zhiyuan said proudly: "Of course, Xiaoyu is the most filial among all the children."

……

……

Zhang Yu walked to the counter, and the waiter couldn't wait any longer.

Seeing him coming, she pulled him to the back without saying a word.

Zhang Yu raised the lunch box in his hand. The waiter put the lunch box directly on the counter and said nonchalantly: "Got it, I'll fill it with braised pork for you later."

Having obtained the desired result, Zhang Yu relaxed his grip and followed the waiter's force to move out.

After standing still, the waiter's face turned slightly red: "Why haven't you been here recently?"

"Isn't this delayed by something?"

The waiter ignored whether Zhang Yu's words were true or just an excuse and directly stated his purpose.

"Do you still have the brown sugar dates or something like that from last time? If you do, could you give me some more?"

Zhang Yu: "Of course, but after today, I don't think I will come to the county town for a long time. Tell me what you want to exchange, and I will try my best to get it for you."

It's not that he is rich, he is just jealous of the old man's craftsmanship.

Especially the sauce made by the other party, he changed two bottles at that time, the taste was simply amazing.

How delicious the sauce is can be seen from the fact that he finished two bottles of sauce in less than three days.

"But I only want the sauce made by the old man." He didn't lack other things, he just wanted this food.

The waiter waved his hand to indicate that it was no problem.

Ever since the last time she used the sauce made by her grandfather to spoil the brown sugar and dates, she seemed to have grasped something.

From then on, whenever she could get the ingredients, she would pester her grandfather to make the sauce.

In addition to some that he had exchanged during this period, he now has more than 10 bottles of sauce in his hands.

Thinking of the sauces in the kitchen, the waiter became more bold and said, "Sauces are not a problem. As long as you can get something out, even freshly cooked ones are not a problem."

"Okay, wait for me then." Zhang Yu wanted to go out, but after taking two steps, he thought of something and turned his head to look at the waiter: "By the way, do you have a backpack? Lend me one."

"Yes, yes, yes. Here you go."

Carrying the backpack lent to him by the waiter, Zhang Yu left the state-owned hotel.

As for Xie Zhiyuan, he turned his head away tacitly, pretending not to see Zhang Yu.

But after he left, the captain said with some concern: "Is it okay for Xiaoyu to do this?"

Xie Zhiyuan waved his hand: "It's okay, don't worry, Xiaoyu is a child with a clear mind, he will never do anything dangerous."

"That's good." Thanks to Zhiyuan, the uncle, for not worrying, the captain also breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he turned to look at the tractor driver beside him and warned him, "Watch your mouth and don't say anything when you get back."

The tractor driver made a gesture to seal his mouth and said with a smile: "Captain, don't you know me? I'm the most tight-lipped person. Besides, what happened just now? I was eating just now, and I didn't see anything."

After saying that, he turned his head and looked around with a look of curiosity, as if he really didn't see anything.

The captain was amused by his behavior and couldn't help but slap him: "You little bastard!"

Although they had warned the tractor driver, neither the team leader nor Xie Zhiyuan was worried that the driver would tell others.

In addition to believing in the other person's character, it was also because the other person's surname was Xie.

When one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer. This has never been a false statement.

As members of the Xie family, no matter what conflicts they have in private, they will never kill each other.

It will not damage the reputation of the Xie family.

Because they all know that only when the Xie family is doing well, the Xie family will get better and better.

After Zhang Yu went out, he chose that corner and walked around.

When the time is almost up, I put some dates, brown sugar and other things into the backpack.

However, before entering the state-owned hotel, he went to the hospital.

I ran to where the tractors were parked, found their tractor, and put some things that I had prepared in the space earlier into it.

He had prepared these things over recent period of time, and they can all be used by the Xie family.

These included some fabrics, some milk powder, malted milk, and some industrial items for daily use...

Some of these things he got by signing in, some were exchanged with others when he was in Beijing, and some were given to him as a thank you from various factories when he was invited to repair machines.

After putting them in place, turn up the straw underneath and cover them with it.

Zhang Yu was about to leave when his eyes inadvertently swept across the entrance of the parking shed and a slightly familiar figure quietly entered his sight.

He stopped and looked at the figure carefully, feeling that it looked familiar.

He blinked, and the more he looked, the more familiar the figure seemed to him, as if he had seen it somewhere.

When the man was about to reach him, he inexplicably took a step back and hid behind the tractor to avoid the man's sight.

He felt his heartbeat quicken, wondering what this man was up to.

Through the gap in the tractor, Zhang Yu secretly observed the approaching figure.

Finally, he remembered the other person.

Isn't this the...

correct!

Isn’t this the secretary of Deputy Director Liu?
Deputy Director Liu has fallen, but his secretary is actually fine. I wonder what kind of relationship he has?
Zhang Yu turned and looked at the woman standing next to him.

Although the other person was well maintained, Zhang Yu could still tell that he was at least fifty years old.

This can be seen from the wrinkles and folds in the corners of the eyes.

Just as Zhang Yu was looking at the woman, the two people's next actions almost made him drop his jaw.

He covered his mouth to prevent himself from screaming out loud.

I saw that Deputy Director Liu's secretary was talking to the woman, and somehow he touched the woman's sensitive spot, but the woman suddenly started to giggle.
