Chapter 133 Han Dixing Treats Him Like a Treasure

After all, they had eaten from the same pot for ten years and lived in the same quilt for ten years. Zhai Qingsong and Liu Xiangqin, the former couple, unexpectedly met each other when they were rushing in the town, and they were inevitably bitter.

"Sister Zhaodi! Are you and Auntie here to make popcorn too?"

Baoer hadn't seen his cousin Zhai Zhaodi for several days. When he saw her, he seemed to have forgotten the pain and even forgot that he had been bullied by Zhai Zhaodi every day. He waved and greeted her enthusiastically.

Zhaodi heard someone calling her name, and when she looked up, she saw adults and children walking over.

"Mom..." She quickly turned her head to check her mother's expression, then pursed her lips, not intending to greet Baoer's family.

"Zhao Di, you've become more beautiful since I last saw you." Zhai Ximo carried the child to the popcorn machine, then put the child down and talked to Zhao Di.

The man standing behind Liu Xiangqin was bragging loudly with a man from the same village.

The two pointed ears suddenly heard someone greeting Zhaodi, and they immediately turned around and looked clearly at the faces approaching, especially Zhai Qingsong who was following behind.

Hu Laosan's sharp-nosed and monkey-faced face twitched, and he pulled Zhaodi possessively, deliberately saying in a loud voice: "Zhaodi, is this the child you know? Tell dad about him."

Zhai Ximo's face suddenly darkened. Dad?

Could it be that Liu Xiangqin has found another man!

Wang Ziru also heard Hu Laosan deliberately emphasize the title of "Dad". She walked over and looked at the family of three, "Zhao Di, do you have a new dad?"

"What's it got to do with you!" Liu Xiangqin looked very unhappy and pulled her daughter behind her, as if the Zhai family was trying to take her adopted daughter away.

"So you ran into the sister-in-law of the Zhai family?" Hu Laosan took a look at the man in the military coat and guessed that this must be the third sister of the Zhai family, so he laughed, "My name is Hu Laosan, and Liu Xiangqin and I have already gone to the commune to get married."

Wang Ziru and Zhai Ximo were both stunned. They didn't expect Liu Xiangqin to actually do what she said.

It's only been a few days since her divorce, and she's married to a divorced man so quickly.

"Congratulations! Sister Liu!" Wang Ziru looked at Liu Xiangqin with contempt. If her mother-in-law saw this scene, she would...

Just as I was thinking this, several villagers from Hongmei Village came over here.

Everyone also saw Liu Xiangqin with a strange man named Zhuang Jiahan who had a pointed face and monkey cheeks.

The villagers looked at Zhai Qingsong who was standing nearby and didn't dare to come over as if they were watching a joke. Then they looked at Liu Xiangqin who still had an expression as if someone owed her money.

At this time, several women carrying backpacks saw Liu Xiangqin and came over to greet her.

These village women were usually very good friends with Liu Xiangqin. When Liu Xiangqin saw them, her face lit up and she stood next to the popcorn machine and started chatting enthusiastically with the women.

When the village women heard that Liu Xiangqin had really remarried, they didn't dare to believe her at first, until they saw the tall and thin man holding Zhaodi and standing next to the popcorn machine waiting for popcorn to be made. Only then did they have to believe what Liu Xiangqin said.

“Bang!”

The popcorn master, sitting on a pony, stopped pumping the bellows amid the hustle and bustle of the street. Putting on gloves, he took the black iron gourd from the iron rack, opened the iron gourd towards a long bamboo basket on the ground, and pried open the lid.

The adults and children standing nearby and watching were extremely excited.

I saw a puff of black smoke mixed with a burnt aroma dissipate, and with a "bang" sound, a pot of popcorn popped into the patterned bamboo basket.

"Xiangqin, our popcorn is ready." Hu Laosan hurriedly squatted down, opened the nylon bag he brought, and poured all the hot popcorn in the bamboo basket into the nylon bag.

Just at this time, Mrs. Liu just arrived in the town and saw her third son and his family frying popcorn here.

I was thinking of coming over to have some popcorn, but before I could say anything, I saw Liu Xiangqin being very intimate with a dark and thin man.

"Zhaodi! Who is he?" Mrs. Liu called out to Zhai Zhaodi.

Zhaodi looked up and saw that it was another member of the Zhai family. She curled her face and said impatiently, "My last name is Hu, don't call me that."

Hu Laosan packed up his nylon bag and stood up. He looked at Mrs. Liu, snorted, and said loudly, "Old woman! My daughter doesn't like you. Stay away from me."

"What did you say?!" Zhai Ximo frowned and his face darkened.

Hu Laosan looked back at Zhai Ximo, snorted again, and left with Liu Xiangqin.

The villagers from the nearby Hongmei Village thought that the Zhai family would quarrel with Liu Xiangqin's man in the street, but when they saw Liu Xiangqin's current man hurriedly leave with interest, they had to disperse in disappointment.

After waiting for half an hour, the bowl of corn grits that Zhai Ximo brought was popped into cream-colored popcorn by the popcorn machine.

Wang Ziru went to the supply and marketing cooperative that sold candy and food nearby and asked for two sheets of food paper for wrapping the candies and bought a net bag.

I squatted beside the popcorn master and filled a big bag of popcorn, imitating the way the shopkeeper packed Chinese medicine.

Then take a bus into the city.

It was only 11 o'clock in the morning when we arrived at the county town.

Wang Ziru originally wanted to go see her younger brother, but she thought that the thing she was holding was a little hot, and it would be difficult to explain if her younger brother saw it, so she went straight to the bank to find Han Dixing.

"Chief Han, someone is looking for you outside!" When a female staff member at the counter heard that the young wife outside was looking for Han Dixing, she quickly got up and went upstairs. Standing at the stairs, she shouted loudly towards the office on the second floor.

Han Dixing didn't understand what was going on and thought it was someone from his family coming to see him.

I hurried downstairs and, through the glass window, was surprised to see a familiar figure standing next to the counter.

"Sister Ziru, why are you here?" Han Dixing quickly straightened his suit, opened the door and walked out to ask with a warm smile on his face.

Wang Ziru smiled shyly and whispered, "Come out..."

The next moment.

Under the surprised gazes of all the bank staff, Han Dixing followed the young country wife out to talk.

"Is she a distant relative of Section Chief Han's family?"

"Yesterday I heard that Section Chief Han went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy leather shoes for his relatives. Could it be her?"

"This woman is pretty, but she doesn't want to develop a relationship with Section Chief Han, does she?"

These people were too embarrassed to go out and watch, so they could only guess out of curiosity.

Wang Ziru came out of the bank, lowered her head, and walked until she turned the corner before stopping.

Han Dixing didn't know what she was going to do, so he quickly guessed in his heart. When he saw the little woman in front of him finally stopped, he asked with a smile: "Sister Ziru, what do you want to talk to me about today?"

"Here, for you."

Wang Ziru blushed and handed the net bag in her hand over.

"Ah? You came here specially to deliver something?" Han Dixing didn't reach out to take it, feeling a little surprised.

"Yes, I thought that you spent so much money to buy shoes for my son, and also bought shoes for me. You can't just not give me anything in return as a token of your appreciation, right?" The more Wang Ziru spoke, the redder her cheeks became. She almost never gave gifts like this.

So I have no experience in gift giving.

Han Dixing looked at Wang Ziru in surprise, and smiled faintly after a while, "I don't need any gift from you in return. I appreciate your kindness. You can take the gift back to your child."

"I prepared this specially. These two lunch boxes contain spicy diced chicken, and the one on top is popcorn..." Wang Ziru wanted to dig a hole in the ground and bury herself. Others gave her such a high-end gift, and her return gift was really too shabby.

Han Di Xingshu understood the other party's intention, smiled gently, took a half step closer, and took the net bag from her hands with both hands.

"Since you sent it to the city specifically, I will accept it. But you are not allowed to send me any gifts in the future."

"My family, as you city folks would say, is penniless and we have nothing of value to give you, so, Chief Han, please don't despise me."

Han Dixing's nose felt sore, and he guessed that she had been living a hard life in the countryside in recent years.

His eyes were slightly moist. "Wait for me. I'll buy two more lunch boxes."

Not long after, Han Dixing came back with two new lunch boxes, also put them in a net bag, and handed them to Wang Ziru.

"Why buy lunch boxes?"

"I'm afraid I can't return this lunch box you gave me today. I'll take it home and let my parents taste your cooking skills. They will definitely be very happy. So you can take this back and use it for now."

Han Dixing held the lunch box Wang Ziru sent to him in front of his chest with great care, "I'll send it to the Armed Forces Department when I'm free someday."

The two parted at the corner of the street.

Wang Ziru went to the courtyard of the Armed Forces Department and met her younger brother Wang Zonghao. She did not mention a word about returning the gift to Han Di.

But when Wang Ziru heard her younger brother mention Chen Pingping's intention, she looked angry, "Pingping's intention or her parents'? They are marrying off their daughter and holding a banquet, so why are they transferring the risk to the Wang family?"

"Pingping means that they don't have a son and can't earn as much money as our family, so they want us to pay for the pork for the banquet." Wang Zonghao knew that the Chen family was at a disadvantage by doing this, and he was embarrassed to continue.

Wang Ziru stood in the kitchen, watching her brother cooking, frowning, "Go back and tell Chen Pingping that if you can get married, get married."

"This marriage is really not worth it, let it go as soon as possible."

"No, sister, you can't say that."

Wang Zonghao knew that his elder sister would not say anything nice if she knew about this, but he did not expect her to be so cruel. He could not help but mutter, "You are so cruel, no wonder you did not hesitate to cancel the marriage with the Han family."

"Your sister is helping you! You don't know what's good for you! Do you know how much a pig costs?"

"What if the Wang family agrees to their request this time, and the Chen family suddenly changes their mind on the day of the wedding? It's a small matter to ask you to add two extra quilts, but if they ask you to pay 200 yuan as a gift before you can marry the bride and take away the dowry, what are you going to do? Who are you going to ask for money in such an emergency?"

"Pingping's parents promised not to ask for a dowry!" Wang Zonghao threw the wooden ladle in his hand back heavily onto the wooden cover of the water tank. "If they really want to do that, then we won't get married."

After thinking for a while, Wang Zonghao looked at his sister and said seriously, "I will write a letter later to tell my parents what I mean. I can't afford to be in debt before I get married. Take the letter back and read it to my parents."
