Chapter 41 What's the temper?
It can be seen that Zhou Yan is not a talkative person. He keeps repeating the same few words to Meng Shulan, thanking her for taking care of Hu Bifang and telling her to tell him if she needs anything in the future.
Zhou Yan was driving the donkey cart not to take Hu Bifang home, but to go to the village to hold a banquet, so there were steamers and bowls in the back of his cart.
The village Zhou Yan was going to happened to be on the same route as Meng Shulan's. Although they were only half as far apart, they could still go together. Anyway, they would not have any food in their bags when they went back on Saturday.
When Zhou Yan heard that she was from Yantang Village, he kept saying that he would take her back on the way.
The other person had things to do and Meng Shulan didn't want to trouble them, but the two of them were so enthusiastic that she couldn't resist and got in the car.
When the car arrived at the town entrance, Meng Shulan saw from afar many people standing under the sycamore trees waiting for the bus.
It looks like a car just left.
But isn’t there a mule cart in front? Why are those people getting on it?
Meng Shulan was a little surprised. When she got closer, she found that it was not a car used to pick up passengers, but Gu Hansong's car.
Why is this guy here? Seeing the man in black sitting on the front of the car, Meng Shulan was quite surprised and quickly waved to greet him.
"Gu Hansong..."
Gu Hansong looked back at her, cracked the whip, and drove away.
Meng Shulan: “…”
I also want to take his car so that I don’t have to trouble Zhou Yan.
But what's wrong with this guy? I haven't seen him for a week, why is he so angry?
They were a little far away and Gu Hansong had long hair, so Meng Shulan didn't see his expression. But when he ignored her and ran away, he must have been angry.
But there is no reason, I didn't provoke him.
So, it is also possible that he had something to do and left first?
But it's not like he didn't even say hello! Unable to figure it out, Meng Shulan frowned and became a little annoyed.
In front, Zhou Yan asked her, "Who was that just now?"
Meng Shulan: "The neighbor next door."
Zhou Yan didn't ask any questions and sent Meng Shulan all the way to the village entrance.
Meng Shulan got off the car to express her gratitude, then walked into the village carrying her schoolbag. When she passed the embankment, she saw Gu Hansong again.
The man was herding his mule across the creek below.
It turned out that he either had something to do or just went back to the village.
Meng Shulan's teeth felt itchy and she was angry.
I originally wanted to talk to him and ask about my brother-in-law, but now I don’t want to say anything. I’d better go home quickly.
Meng Shulan twisted her head and walked away angrily.
By the ditch, Gu Hansong kicked a small stone under his feet into the water, looking at his broken reflection, not knowing what he was thinking.
Not far away, Gu Yue came over with a branch. Seeing Meng Shulan above, she said happily, "Uncle, did you see that? Sister Shulan is back from school."
Meng Shulan and Gu Yue, one was still young and the other was studying in town, so they didn't have much contact and were not actually very familiar with each other.
But the big apple that Gu Hansong brought back last time was given by Meng Shulan, and the little guy has been thinking about it.
Gu Hansong said "hmm" and continued kicking the stones under his feet.
Gu Yue said again: "Uncle, didn't you run into Sister Shulan when you came back from town?"
My uncle went to town after lunch and just came back.
Gu Hansong said nothing.
Gu Yue stared at him for a while, and then said as if she remembered something: "Yes, you came back a little early, so we missed the time. What a pity..."
I don’t know when Sister Shulan treated me to apples again. They were sweet and crispy, and I loved them.
Gu Hansong took one look at his niece's wrinkled face and knew what she was thinking.
"What do you want to eat? I'll buy it from you tomorrow."
"Really?" Gu Yue smiled.
Gu Hansong also smiled, "Yeah."
Gu Yue counted on his fingers, "I want to eat apples, fried dough sticks and rice sticks..."
Meng family.
When Meng Shulan returned home, the two sewing machines in the house were clacking away. He Jinqiu and Meng Changli, mother and daughter, were sitting under the window in the main room, busy making trousers.
In order to place the two sewing machines and the large table for cutting cloth, the large square dining table in the main room has been moved under the eaves, and the white urea bags that were originally pasted on the two windows have been folded open, allowing light to come in from outside, bringing with it wind and cold.
Meng Shulan asked as soon as she entered: "Mom, sister, aren't you two cold?"
He Jinqiu smiled and said, "Why are you cold? Just move your hands and feet around, you'll be warm."
Her hands and feet were not cold, but the wind blowing on her face was a little uncomfortable. He Jinqiu didn't think it was a big deal, but she was a little worried that her eldest daughter's face would be roughened by the wind.
He Jinqiu: "I've asked your dad to measure the dimensions. Go get two pieces of glass tomorrow after we sell the stuff."
That's about right.
Meng Shulan put down her schoolbag and went out carrying the bamboo basket.
She doesn't know how to make clothes, so she can't help, so she can only do more housework.
The field where pig food was grown was on the hillside behind. She went there and got half a basket of it. When she came back, she met her little cousin Meng Danhong outside the courtyard gate.
This person has also returned from the county.
Meng Danhong wore a goose yellow jacket with a pointed collar, bucket pants and small leather shoes. Her hair was not braided in the popular style, but half of it was tied up with a hairpin and the other half was left draped. As she looked pretty good, she looked like a city girl, very fashionable.
When she saw Meng Shulan, Meng Danhong smiled.
Meng Shulan also laughed and called her.
Although He Jinqiu and Ding Guixiang, the two sisters-in-law, do not get along well, often quarrel, and are always sarcastic when they meet, the relationship between the younger generations is relatively good.
In her previous life, Meng Shulan worked in the city, and Meng Danhong also worked there. The two of them had always kept in touch. Although they rarely met, they would notify each other and send invitations if there was anything. Later, when she was bedridden with cancer, she came to visit her several times. They maintained the most basic relative relationship.
Meng Shulan didn't know Meng Danhong very well. After all, because of Ding Guixiang in her previous life, the two of them had not had much contact since childhood.
For Meng Danhong...
So be it. Although Meng Danhong once regarded herself as a competitor under Ding Guixiang's instigation when she was a child, there were definitely some behaviors of complaining and rolling her eyes, but there was not much hatred.
So, when they met at this time, Meng Shulan maintained basic courtesy and took the initiative to greet her.
It was just a simple hello, and then he pushed the door and prepared to go back.
The second branch of the Meng family is right next to the bamboo forest diagonally opposite. Meng Shulan didn't know where Meng Danhong came from. She thought she was going home, but Meng Danhong stopped her.
"Sister, I have a new book here, do you want to read it?"
"Book?"
It's a bit abnormal that this person took the initiative to read the book himself.
Meng Shulan put down the backpack, took the book from Meng Danhong and roughly flipped through it.
The book was covered with a cover and I couldn't tell what it was from the outside. After flipping through it, I realized that it was an extracurricular reading material on Chinese language that had been published some time ago.
If it was mathematics, Meng Shulan would definitely take a look at it since she had so generously sent it to her. But there was no need for Chinese, as she was already very familiar with the content there.
"I've seen this before, thank you."
Although it was not necessary, Meng Shulan was still grateful.
Meng Shulan returned the book.
Meng Danhong took it and looked a little depressed and conflicted.
Meng Shulan asked: "What's the matter?"
