Siheyuan, I want to lie down but I become a tool

The next day, Zhang Xingwang lay down happily for the whole morning, thinking about going to Jichun in a few days. In the afternoon, he set out to visit the old couple and collect Uncle Yougen's eggs.

As for the feeling of discomfort mentioned by the Third Aunt, he didn't feel anything. It was mainly because the meat in the space was gone and he couldn't buy it here. It had nothing to do with being curious about Bai Xiaoya's partner...

Master Zhang, the tool man, set off on his bicycle in the afternoon. This time, it was rare that Wang Xiulan didn't want to go with him. Only the little girl insisted on following her brother.

Zhang Xingwang thought about it and decided that he would save the words "next time for sure" for when he went to Jichun. On the one hand, he was also worried that when Wang Xiulan was secretly digging wild vegetables, she might meet someone stupid enough to take her away, which would be a waste of time.

This little girl who robs houses is very interested in objects that can hold things. My mother said that the two times she secretly dug wild vegetables, the little girl stayed in the backpack and played by herself.

It was still dark when the old man came, and the old couple seemed a little abnormal. Grandma also changed her usual behavior and did not ask him how he was doing. She even skipped the spinning and jumping. Instead, she asked him if he planned to live with his aunt...

After confirming again and again that Zhang Xingwang came empty-handed, the old couple asked worriedly if anything had happened recently, leaving Zhang Xingwang confused.

After learning that his grandson had become the section chief, the old man forced a half-hearted smile, then turned and left, saying that he was going to the cafeteria to eat and would be back later.

The old grandmother became smiling again, just like before, and kept praising her grandson, until Uncle Yougen came in with two baskets of eggs, then she immediately put away her smile.

"Aunt, what's wrong with you? Why are you still so sullen when you see me? Don't worry, Xingwang is also my nephew, how can I wrong him..."

The old lady's face darkened when she heard this, and she replied angrily:

"Can you talk? Just because you are such a lowly official, I should give you a smile?

"Which village chief is leading the speculation? Our village doesn't have much face to begin with, can't you save some money?"

"Aunt, what you said is not right. Xingwang and I are husband and wife. How can that be considered speculation?"

"You are also a fool. Who is a good person these days who would go around the country shouting to exchange grain for eggs? You are such a fool who doesn't even know the reason for changing it.

I've heard about it at home. Now the whole commune is saying that there are people in our village who are in confinement every day. You may be shameless, but we still have some dignity!"

"That's just an excuse. I'm doing this for the good of the village. I can earn a little difference from Xingwang for the eggs I get. It doesn't matter who they sell to. As long as they can meet the quota, that's all."

Then the old lady complained to Uncle Yougen about everything from his heart to his physiology. Only then did Zhang Xingwang realize that he might have inherited his good tongue from his grandmother.

Fortunately, Uncle Gen is thick-skinned and is still weakly refuting me. It will probably take a lot of effort to defeat him...

If Zhang Xingwang hadn't said that he was hungry, who knows how long the two of them would have continued arguing. Looking at the old lady who came into the house to cook, Uncle Yougen wiped his sweat.

Pointing to the two large baskets full of eggs on the ground, he rubbed his hands and said nervously:

"Xingwang, this should be mutually beneficial. There are 215 eggs this time. After all, you are also a purchaser. I will just pay you the purchase price. It would be even better if you can exchange it for food directly."

"No problem, but I can't issue a note, you know..."

Zhang Yougen really didn't understand. This was the first time he encountered so many things without a receipt. What was the difference between this and speculation? However, he still replied nonchalantly:

"It's okay. They are all from the village. Our village has so many happy events. They are all eaten anyway. No one will come to check."

Zhang Xingwang thought about it and said directly:

"How about this, you can just send the eggs you collect here directly in the future. I'll contact someone to send more food over. Then we can refund more and supplement less. It's just right for the old couple to eat more, and it's definitely a good idea for the elderly to have more food!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of pots and pans falling to the ground from the kitchen, and then the old lady ran out quickly with a spatula in her hand.

With Zhang Xingwang's surprised expression, he angrily yelled at Uncle Yougen:

"You stupid, stupid, stupid thing, have you been bored for too long? Why are you carrying so many eggs here in the middle of the day? If it gets out, people will think I'm confinement or attending a funeral. Do you have any sequelae to your brain? Can you eat eggs every day, you spendthrift..."

Zhang Xingwang was shocked when he saw the old lady scolding and chasing Uncle Yougen out of the yard. He felt as if something strange was mixed in with the scolding.

However, as the only child in the family, Zhang Xingwang absolutely did not believe that his grandmother would scold him. He probably thought that Uncle Yougen was too angry.

Seeing his grandmother come back dejectedly, and trying hard to force a smile while continuing to cook for him, Zhang Xingwang felt that he had to have a chat with Uncle Yougen in the evening. After all, it was really inappropriate to bring eggs in during the day, and it was indeed a bit stupid...

Just as he was about to enter the house, he saw a head sticking out from the top of the wall, panting and whispering to Zhang Xingwang:

"Xingwang, what time will you go to get the food tonight?"

Then Zhang Xingwang stretched his neck and discussed the price and transaction location with Uncle Yougen, and then he leisurely carried the eggs into the house.

The old lady's cooking skills were indeed impeccable, but she fried the eggs a little too much. Seeing the old lady's hesitation, Zhang Xingwang thought for a moment and asked:

"Grandma, if you have something to say, just say it. Do you want to eat meat? I'll send you some in a few days. It's not shameful for people to be greedy when they are old. There is an old lady in our courtyard who is like this..."

The old lady's mouth twitched for a long time before she replied:

"Xingwang, your grandfather and I had diarrhea after eating eggs. It seems that we are not destined to enjoy life. Why don't you take us all away..."

"Diarrhea? That's probably because your stomach is not working properly. You need to replenish your body! Otherwise, it will be bad if a minor illness becomes a big one.

Well, you can save the eggs first. I'm going to Jichun soon. I'll bring you and grandpa some ginseng and deer antlers. I'll also get some wild boar tripe. I guarantee you'll be fine after eating it."

After hearing this, the old lady dropped her chopsticks on the ground, frowned for a long time, and then reluctantly replied:

"Grandma didn't explain it clearly. I had diarrhea for the first two days but it got better later. Promise grandma! Don't send me those supplements. Keep them for yourself. When you go there, see if there's anything that can nourish your brain and remember to bring some back for yourself!"

The old lady didn't say anything after she finished speaking. She was absent-minded and no one knew what she was thinking. After a long time after dinner, the old man came back and saw two more baskets of eggs in the house. His eyes twitched for a while, and then he asked his grandson as if nothing had happened:

"Xingwang, when will you take this egg away?"

Zhang Xingwang also casually replied that he would let the person who delivered the food take it away in a while. Looking at the old man's happy face, he seemed to be in a good mood.
