Chapter 406 Zhang Baiyan's thoughts, plans to go out
"You go and test the waters?" Zhang Baiyan felt that this was a bit unreliable. With Zhang's mother's temper, she might even scare people away. After thinking about it, he put down his chopsticks and suggested tactfully, "Mom, I think you should talk to Aunt Qin and let her test the waters instead of going directly to Wenjun. It would be bad if she was embarrassed."
Zhang's mother's eyes lit up when she heard this. "So you are the one I like, right? I knew there was something wrong with you, kid. Otherwise, you didn't say anything when so many people wanted to introduce you to someone, and you made me so worried!"
Zhang Wanwan, who was watching the fun, joked, "Mom, isn't this obvious? If my brother didn't have any interest in her, would he help her like this? I felt it was strange from the very beginning when he brought her to my side. Sometimes my brother would secretly give Wenjun a portion when he went out to buy something delicious. Don't think I didn't notice it because I was busy. I have sharp eyes. It's just that Wenjun is thin-skinned and doesn't take to being teased, so I pretended not to see it."
"You are so capable!" Zhang's mother pointed at Zhang Wanwan's head in a stern voice, and pointed the gun at her. "By the way, I haven't asked you yet! What's going on between you and that Xiao Leng? Are you dating?"
"Puff!" Zhang Wanwan sprayed a mouthful of soup on Zhang Baiyan's face.
Zhang Baiyan gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and his joints creaked. He stared at Zhang Wanwan with eyes that were blazing with anger, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "Zhang-Wan-Wan! You are tired of living!"
"Dad! Save me!" Zhang Wanwan wailed and crawled to Zhang's father's feet.
Father Zhang held her in his arms, turned his face to Zhang Baiyan, and shouted sternly: "Who do you think is tired of living? How dare you be mean to your sister in front of me! I..."
Zhang's father raised one hand, and Zhang Baiyan immediately retracted his claws and said indignantly: "Mom! Please judge for yourself, it was clearly that stinky girl who sprayed me in the face, and now I am the one who is wrong?"
Zhang Wanwan poked her little face out from her father Zhang's armpit and stuck out her tongue at him.
Zhang Baiyan was so angry that he stood up and cursed, "I'll deal with you later!"
After saying that, he quickly ran back to his room to take a shower and change clothes.
Zhang's mother looked at her in reproach and scolded her with a smile, "Your brother is gone, why don't you sit down and eat properly? Really, after being scolded by you, I don't even want to pick up any food! I'll feed them to our lucky eggs later."
Fudan was talking about the three dogs at home. After raising them for a while, they are no longer useless and can now guard the house.
Zhang Wanwan: “.”
You don't want to eat, and I don't want to eat either.
Qin Wenjun, who heard the noise, thought they were quarreling and came out to take a look. When Zhang's mother saw her, she immediately waved to her excitedly, "Wenjun, come and have dinner with us."
Zhang Wanwan quietly took the dishes away and prepared to go to the kitchen to fry some fresh ones.
Qin Wenjun came over obediently and shook her head, saying, "No need, Aunt Zhang, I've already eaten. By the way, did Brother Bai Yan have a quarrel with the boss just now?"
"No, they were just joking around." Zhang's mother said nonchalantly.
Father Zhang said, "Tomorrow morning you will take a lobster, a crab, and a few boxes of snacks back home. This is this year's New Year's gift. Of course, the vegetables, chickens, ducks, and eggs will be the same as last year. Your parents live at the end of the village. If you want to eat them, you can pick them yourself. You don't have to pick them specially and leave them there. They are not fresh anymore."
Tomorrow is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month. We have the custom of worshipping the God of Heaven here. I don’t know if you have that custom there. If you do, you can ask your parents what they plan to do. Tell us what you want to prepare and we’ll buy it together.”
When Qin Wenjun heard that there would be lobsters and crabs this year, he said nervously, "Uncle, there are too many gifts this year. I can just take a few boxes of snacks back. As for worshiping the God of Heaven, we don't do it on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, but on the 9th day of the first lunar month, so there's no need to buy anything."
Zhang's father said, "The gifts are not much. Last year you were alone, and this year your whole family works in my house. Logically, I should give you four identical gifts, but you can't finish all the food. It's better to change it to something else. You can take it if I tell you to.
Since you don't have to worship the God of Heaven on the 29th, why don't you just come over here and have some fun together? On the 29th, the whole county will set off fireworks and firecrackers, and it won't be quiet until the early morning. You can enjoy it then."
Last year, Qin Wenjun returned to An County early and did not catch such a big festival.
When Qin Wenjun heard that the whole county was setting off fireworks, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Zhang Wanwan came over with a plate of freshly cooked food and said to her, "We will worship at twelve o'clock in the evening. We will be busy folding gold and silver all day tomorrow, and there will be a lot of delicious food. If my mother doesn't drag me to work, I will take you to the town. It seems that you haven't bought any new clothes this year."
Zhang Wanwan had noticed this a long time ago. Qin Wenjun didn't buy any last year, so she didn't know whether she bought any after she went back. However, she was still wearing last year's old clothes when she came to work after the Spring Festival. She really didn't buy any new clothes in the whole year she stayed here. Even her underwear was old. Since Zhang Baiyan had feelings for her and it was about to be made clear, Zhang Wanwan felt that she could no longer turn a blind eye and pretend not to notice.
After all, she is Qin Wenjun's boss and may be her future sister-in-law, so she should buy her some things. After all, Qin Wenjun has been really hardworking and willing to help with everything this year, and she doesn't care whether she is paid or not. For this reason, she has to show her appreciation.
Zhang's mother also noticed this and immediately slapped her thigh and said, "Girl, you are right. I haven't seen you go far away this year. If you want to go out, just go to the county town. There is a new shopping mall there. Our town is too small and there is nothing better. Just let your mother come and help with the housework. We can still talk. That's it."
Qin Wenjun was confused. She just came over to show concern, but how come it all became her business in the end?
At this moment, Zhang Baiyan had also finished his shower and changed his clothes. Perhaps because of what Zhang's mother had just said, he was not as shy as before in front of others. Instead, he asked openly, "When do you plan to go there tomorrow?"
When Zhang's mother heard this, she raised her voice excitedly, "Yes, you can let Bai Yan go with you, and he will drive."
Zhang Wanwan raised her eyebrows slightly. "Driving? Are the three of us taking a truck? If I remember correctly, our truck is a two-seater. We can't put people in the container. We will be caught by the traffic police!"
Zhang's mother was stunned for a moment, then stamped her feet in annoyance. "I'm so busy. I discussed buying a car with your father this year, but I forgot about it because of the new house. What should I do? How about the three of you go to the county together and look at some cars?"
