Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

Xu's mother refused without reason and could only watch helplessly as Lin Quan ran to buy plaster.

At this time, Lin An and the young men from the village came back carrying a few planks of wood.

In addition to the wooden planks, there were two people holding several thick branches of the same thickness.

Lin An asked people to put things in the yard, took out a pack of cigarettes from his jacket pocket, and gave each of them a pack of cigarettes, "Thank you very much for just now."

If he hadn't met these villagers on the road, Lin An would have had to run back and forth two or three times to transport everything back.

"Anzi, you're welcome. We don't have much ability and we only have the strength. If you need help, just ask us and don't be polite."

"Don't tell me, expensive cigarettes are easy to smoke."

"Nonsense, these cigarettes cost several yuan a pack. They are not at the same level as the dry cigarettes you rub yourself."

These people borrowed cigarettes, exchanged a few words, and left in a hurry to go home.

Lin An doesn't smoke, so naturally he doesn't know the difference between cigarettes.

It was Xu Wanning who told him that both the young and the older generation in the village usually like to have a drink to relieve their fatigue.

So she stuffed a cigarette into Lin An's pocket. Just like today, when someone helped someone, just saying thank you didn't seem sincere enough. Giving her a cigarette was just appropriate.

Thinking of Xu Wanning, Lin An glanced around the room, but did not see Xu Wanning.

"Isn't Aning back yet?"

Mother Xu and Mother Lin looked at each other.

They had been busy taking photos all afternoon, and they really didn't pay attention to Xu Wanning.

"It seems that no one has been seen. It's so late. Why hasn't Aning come back?"

Before coming to Dajiang Village, Xu's mother asked someone to inquire about the Black Province in order to be fully prepared. It is said that in some remote rural areas, there are wild animals like blind bears, leopards and wild wolves. Could Aning be...

Bah, bah, bah, why didn't she know how to look forward to some Aning?

"Why don't we go find Aning? No news has come back yet, which is really worrying."

As he was talking, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

Lin An put on his military coat and said, "I'll go out and take a look."

When he opened the door, he saw the village chief's son standing at the door, with his hands in his sleeves and snot dripping from his nostrils.

"Uncle An Zi, my father asked me to tell you that Aunt Xu just made a phone call from the county town and said that something happened to something or something. She would come back after finishing the cooking in the county town."

"Oh, by the way, Aunt Xu also told you not to worry about her. Director Sun of Chunhua Food Factory is always with her. She can come back in Director Sun's car then."

"Did the phone call just come?"

"Yeah!" Da Zhuang snorted and said, "After hanging up the phone, my father asked me to come and talk to you."

After hearing this, Lin An finally felt relieved.

It is estimated that Aning went to the county town to visit Dongzi and Cuifen. In the past few days since his return, Dongzi Cuifen has not contacted them.

Then something happened to Dongzi, so she was tripped up by the incident.

Director Sun, Lin An, also knew him and was considered relatively reliable.

"Thank you Da Zhuang."

But his big eyes were staring straight at Lin An's bulging pockets.

Lin An habitually touched his pocket, but there was only a pack of cigarettes in his pocket.

He doesn't like snacks, so he certainly doesn't know how to carry them in his pockets.

"wait for me a while."

Lin An stepped into the main room and grabbed a handful of melon seeds and peanuts from the table, along with a few candies, filling his big hands.

He walked to the door of the courtyard, opened his large coat pocket, and stuffed everything in.

One pocket was full, and Lin An had a lot left in his hand, so he put it in the other pocket.

"Go, I'll take you back."

The night was dark and windy, and the moon was hidden among the clouds. The road was pitch black, not only invisible.

Da Zhuang was only a five or six year old child, and Lin An was worried about letting him go home alone.

Da Zhuang covered his two pockets with his hands, "Thank you, Uncle An Zi, but I can go back by myself. I know the roads in the village best."

With that said, Da Zhuang ran away in a flash.

Lin An had no choice but to take out a flashlight and illuminate his way home.

"Brother, you are so kind. Knowing that I had fallen twice when I came back in the dark, you went out of your way to illuminate me with a flashlight at the door."

Lin Quan was moved and couldn't help but think that it would be great if her brother could take two more steps forward so that she wouldn't fall.

Lin An knew that Lin Quan had misunderstood what he meant, and he didn't know how to explain it for a moment, so he simply changed the topic.

"Why did you go?"

"My aunt had been taking pictures in the same position all afternoon. Her back hurt, so my mother asked me to go to Dr. Tian's house and buy some plaster."

After entering the house, Mother Lin hurriedly asked: "Who knocked on the door just now? Is Aning back?"

Lin An explained: "It's Da Zhuang from the village chief's family. Aning called the brigade headquarters and said that she went to the county town and was delayed by something, and she would be back in a while."

"It's fine, it's fine."

Lin Quan looked at Lin An with a look of resentment, "So, brother, you didn't just want to pick me up, so you were lighting the flashlight at the door, right?"

He was clearly lighting the way home for Da Zhuang.

Lin An touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment: "What about that? You can help me put the plaster on my mother."

"Okay, let me boil some water first and apply a hot towel to my aunt. Doctor Tian said, use a hot towel to apply the plaster so that the efficacy of the plaster can be better absorbed."

"By the way, Mom, when I went to Dr. Tian's house just now, I smelled their sour food. Doctor Tian said to boil some vinegar so that the family will be less likely to get sick. Let's get some vinegar too."

Vinegar is relatively cheap among all seasonings, but for rural people with little income, buying vinegar every month is a big expense. Therefore, there are not many families in the village who are willing to do so.

But this amount of money is nothing to the Lin family today. Not to mention Xu Wanning and Lin An, even Lin's mother has a stable source of income. A few cents can buy a bottle of vinegar. If it can really prevent the family from getting sick. , I don’t feel any pain after using it.

"Okay, then I'll get the vinegar."

Lin An also started piecing together wooden boards in a place where the light was bright after all.

In the whole family, Xu's mother was the only one with nothing to do, so she felt uncomfortable.

So, after Mother Lin came out with the vinegar, Mother Xu hurriedly asked, "Mom, is there anything I can do?"

"Hey, mother-in-law, you have been busy all afternoon today, and your waist is still hurting right now. How can I let you do anything else?"

Besides, Mother Lin came to the house to accompany Aning. She was considered a guest, so how could there be any reason to let the guest do the work?
