Bai Jinfeng was so surprised to see Ning Jia running out of the room as fast as a rabbit that she knelt on the kang, opened the window and looked out without even putting on her clothes.
Ning Jia ran out and was so frightened when he saw the other person's face that he almost lost his footing: "Chu Songbai, why did you come here!"
Chu Songbai stood in the snow wearing a green military coat, with a happy smile on his face: "You really live here, it seems I didn't find the wrong place."
Ning Jia looked around and asked nervously, "What do you want to see me for? How do you know where my home is?"
Chu Songbai: "I found out."
God!
Ning Jia held his forehead helplessly: "Ask around and find out!"
If people knew that there was a strange man asking around about me and even visiting me, who knows what rumors would spread!
Nowadays, even a drop of spit can drown a person!
Chu Songbai saw her worry and smiled: "Don't be nervous, I'm here to do business with you, I have no other intentions."
These words did not make Ning Jia feel at ease.
She had only done two business deals, but the other party actually found his way to her house. This feeling was very passive, and she couldn't be happy at all.
"Grandma, who is it? Who is calling you outside?" Old Mrs. Xu had sharp ears and came out of the house when she heard a man talking.
It didn't matter that she spoke. The third daughter-in-law Liang Lanlan and the fourth daughter-in-law Xuejiao both opened the door and looked towards the gate.
"Hey, who is this man? He's quite handsome!" Liang Lanlan was standing in a position where she could just see the door. When she saw Chu Songbai open his mouth, she immediately praised him.
Ning Jia turned around and replied from a distance: "He is Li Yao's friend. He came to see Li Yao during the New Year."
"Really?" Liang Lanlan's eyes were full of distrust.
In this situation, it was definitely inappropriate for Ning Jia to meet Chu Songbai. If he kept standing outside the door and talking, people would see him and ask him more questions.
So, just let him go home with her.
"Li Yao is in the wheat drying yard and will be back soon. Would you like to come back to the house and sit with me first?" Ning Jia took the initiative to invite.
Chu Songbai agreed readily: "Tuo, that's troublesome."
As soon as the two entered the house, Liang Lanlan said to Xuejiao, "Have you seen this person? When did our old man have friends in the city?"
Xuejiao shook her head: "She looks well dressed."
When Old Mrs. Xu saw a strange man entering Ning Jia's room, she was very dissatisfied. She was afraid that Ning Jia would cheat on her son, so she quickly followed him in.
When I pushed the door open, I saw that not only Ning Jia and the strange man were in the room, but Bai Jinfeng was also in the room.
At this moment, Bai Jinfeng was sitting cross-legged on the kang, concentrating on making clothes.
"Mom, what's up?" Ning Jia knew what the old lady was thinking when she saw her head poking out. "How about you come and sit down with me? My sister-in-law is making clothes for me, why don't you come and give her a hand?"
When she heard that she had to work, Mrs. Xu quickly found an excuse to leave: "My eyesight is not good, I am afraid that I will make a mess for you, you guys are busy, I won't disturb you."
“How about I go out too?” Bai Jinfeng also wanted to do so after seeing this.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing? Just make your clothes, and I'll have a word with him."
"That's fine."
Ning Jia poured a cup of hot water for Chu Songbai: "Drink some water to warm your body."
"Thank you." Chu Songbai unbuttoned his military coat, took out two boxes of chocolate from his inner pocket and placed them on the table. "I didn't bring anything with me this time, so I brought two boxes of chocolate for you."
When Ning Jia's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the word chocolate.
However, his eyes dimmed again in an instant. How delicious can chocolate be in this era?
I remembered reading a novel before, which said that the chocolate tasted like chewing wax and had no cocoa flavor at all.
"It was imported from abroad. A friend of mine sent it to me from Beijing."
"Thank you. I'll be welcome then." Ning Jia accepted it decisively.
"You're welcome." Chu Songbai drank water and looked around the room.
The furnishings in the room were old. None of the tables, chairs, and benches were new. The walls were made of mud and had not even been painted white. It looked very simple and crude.
After looking at it, he didn't say anything. He just lowered his head and looked at his toes, letting time pass by.
Bai Jinfeng was very curious about this man. She looked up from time to time, then lowered her head to sew clothes.
Ning Jia sat on the kang and watched her work. When she saw that the thread was used up, she quickly replenished it.
Finally, there was a noise in the yard.
The men are back.
"Wife, the team has distributed dividends, and we have meat to eat..." Li Yao pushed the door open and walked in, with a cold wind blowing around him and a faint smile between his eyebrows.
When he saw the man sitting in the room, his smile froze and his expression instantly turned cold.
Ning Jia hurriedly stood up and walked forward: "Li Yao, he said he was your friend who came to visit you, so I asked him to wait in the room."
After two transactions, Chu Songbai finally learned Li Yao's name from Ning Jia.
He stood up, took the initiative to step forward and extended his hand: "Li Yao."
When Li Yao saw his sister-in-law Bai Jinfeng here, he knew why Ning Jia had said that just now.
He was reluctant, but still smiled, raised his hand and punched Chu Songbai's chest hard: "Hey, it's not the first time we meet, why are you shaking hands? Just be casual."
Chu Songbai staggered after being hit by him. He covered his aching chest and looked at him with a complicated expression.
You kid, are you doing this on purpose?
Li Yao raised his fist, and then punched again: "When did you become so weak? You were not like this before."
Chu Songbai didn't dodge and was hit by another punch from Xiaoxiao.
He rubbed his chest and said helplessly: "If you do this again, I won't be polite."
Ning Jia saw that the atmosphere between the two people was not right, and hurried to smooth things over: "I just thought you were ordinary friends, but I didn't know your relationship was so close!"
"Of course." Li Yao smiled, grabbed Chu Songbai's arm, and put his hand on his shoulder, "Otherwise, this guy wouldn't have the nerve to come to our house without even saying hello."
Chu Songbai was almost unable to straighten his back due to being pressed by him, but he still had to lie with a smile on his face: "We have a very close relationship."
"That's right! Wife, you and sister-in-law go to her place and rest for a while. I'll chat with him and he'll call us when it's time for dinner." Li Yao gritted his teeth and forced a smile.
"Come on, let's go to our room and let the men chat." Bai Jinfeng got off the kang, rolled up the unfinished clothes, and left with Ning Jia.
As soon as the two of them met, Li Yao returned to his original appearance.
His eyes were filled with coldness and disgust, and he punched Chu Songbai in the face: "What are you thinking? You've even found someone at my house! Tell me, did you know my wife before?"
