When He Jincheng and his wife heard the result, their faces changed at the same time.
"No wonder I've been having such a hard time at the company lately. So this is the problem. Thank you, Comrade Zhang. I, He Jincheng, will always remember your kindness. I'm a manager at the department store. Next time you want to buy something, just come to me. I'll try to give you the best price."
Zhang Meng smiled and said politely, "Okay, next time I go to the department store, I will definitely look for you, Uncle He."
After saying goodbye to the He family, Zhang Meng refused He Jincheng's idea of sending someone to drive her back. She took the things prepared for her by the He family and went to a hidden shop to buy a lot of incense, paper, candles and other treasures. Then she went to the bus stop and took a bus back to Zhangjia Village.
After getting off the car and walking into the village, Zhang Meng, who was carrying large and small bags of things, was immediately questioned by many curious villagers in the village.
"Hey, isn't this Xiao Meng? Where did you go? What did you buy? There are so many things. Can you show them to me?"
"Xiao Meng, who in your family is the one who drove that expensive tin car to your house today? Is that tin car very valuable?"
Listening to these questions, Zhang Meng answered them all with a smile.
After finally seeing the shadow of home, Zhang Meng quickened his pace, quickly shook off these people and returned home.
"Grandma, I'm back." As soon as she opened the gate of her house, Zhang Meng breathed a sigh of relief and shouted towards the quiet home.
"Sister, you're back." Zhang Meng didn't wait for Grandma Zhang's response, but instead waited for her younger brother Zhang Tao's shout to welcome her back.
Looking at her younger brother running out of the house, Zhang Meng put down what she was holding and hugged her younger brother who was running towards her. "Where's grandma?" After asking, Zhang Meng stuffed a piece of White Rabbit milk candy she got from the He family into her younger brother Zhang Tao's mouth.
As soon as the little guy tasted the sweetness, his big eyes lit up immediately and he shouted happily, "Sugar, delicious."
Zhang Meng smiled and gently scratched the tip of his nose, "Gourmet ghost, tell your sister quickly, is grandma home?"
While eating the candy in his mouth, Zhang Tao vaguely explained where Grandma Zhang was going. "Grandma is not at home. Grandma was called to her house by the third grandmother."
"Third Auntie?" When Zhang Meng heard the name, she suddenly remembered that in the past, when there was no one in her family to take care of her younger brother, they would leave him at Third Auntie's house to help look after him.
Thinking of this, Zhang Meng immediately put the thought behind her, lowered her head to look at her brother who was eating candy and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
Little Zhang Tao touched his stomach, sucked the saliva that was about to flow out of his mouth, and shook his head, saying, "I haven't eaten. Grandma hasn't come back yet. Tao'er is almost starving to death."
Zhang Meng smiled, touched his belly and asked, "Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll make it for you."
She remembered that the gifts sent by the He family this time included a lot of meat.
"I want to eat meat." Little Zhang Tao said what he wanted to eat most without hesitation.
Zhang Meng smiled and said, "No problem. Do you want to stay here or come into the kitchen with me? I'll make you some meat."
Little Zhang Tao sucked his saliva and immediately raised his hand and said, "I want to go to the kitchen with my sister to make meat."
"Okay, then let's go to the kitchen and make something delicious. When it's ready, we can eat it together when grandma comes back, okay?"
"Okay." Little Zhang Tao responded loudly in a baby voice.
Grandma Zhang returned to the Zhang family's house when Zhang Meng and little Zhang Tao were almost done with lunch.
Seeing her grandmother coming back with a sigh on her face, Zhang Meng quickly prepared lunch and walked out with little Zhang Tao.
"Grandma, I heard from my brother that you went to Third Aunt's house. What happened there?"
Grandma Zhang sat in the yard and sighed again, "I don't know what happened to your third wife's son, San Gouzi. He went up the mountain and came back with a fever. Now your third wife's family is so worried that they are about to jump into the river."
"Where did Brother Sangou go in the mountains? How did he become like this?" Zhang Meng still had a deep impression of this Brother Sangou. She remembered that when he was eight or nine years old, Brother Sangou learned some hunting skills from a hunter in the village. Later, he learned it quite well and now he has become another hunter in the village.
Normally, if Brother Sangou caught a lot of prey, he would share some with her family.
"I heard from your grandma that it's the mountain next door. The poor kid is lying in bed talking nonsense. The barefoot doctor from the village came to see him and told your grandma and the others to send your brother Sangou to a big hospital in the provincial capital as soon as possible. He said that if he's too late, he might not even survive."
"Have you been there yet?" Zhang Meng listened while serving food to Grandma Zhang and little Zhang Tao.
"No, in our countryside, it costs several hundred yuan to get into a county hospital. Look, your third aunt's family is worried about them at home. Their lives were getting a little better, but now they become like this again. It's really pitiful." Grandma Zhang sighed heavily, and she had no mood to eat the rice in the bowl.
"Where did this rice come from? I remember that we don't have rice at home." At this time, Grandma Zhang remembered that the only things in her family were coarse grains and sweet potatoes.
"Grandma, I know. My sister brought back a lot of delicious food this time. I even ate some candy. It was so delicious and sweet."
Little Zhang Tao chattered non-stop in front of Grandma Zhang like a little bird.
After listening to this, Grandma Zhang smiled and immediately looked up at Zhang Meng. "Meng'er, what's going on? Is what your brother said true? Do we really have so many things at home?"
Zhang Meng smiled and picked up a piece of pork for Grandma Zhang. "It's real, Grandma, but don't worry, these things in our family all have clear sources. They are not stolen or cheated by your granddaughter. You can eat them without worry."
Grandma Zhang took a look at the meat in the bowl and didn't eat it immediately. Instead, she continued to look at Zhang Meng, "Meng'er, tell grandma, were these things given to you by Comrade He who came to our house today? Why did he give us these valuable things? Tell grandma the truth!"
Zhang Meng picked up another piece of pork for little Zhang Tao. Seeing her brother eating it with relish, the corners of her mouth curled up, as if she was the one eating so deliciously.
"Grandma, didn't I tell you that I went there to help Uncle He catch ghosts? I helped his daughter, so he and his wife gave me these things to thank me for my help."
At this point, Zhang Meng immediately said "oh", lowered his head and rummaged through his pocket, and took out three big unity cards.
"And this one, was also given to me by their family."
"This..." Grandma Zhang was so frightened by the three Zhangs that she was stunned for a long time.
"Xiao Meng, help!" Just when the Zhang family was having a quiet dinner, a cry was heard outside, interrupting the silence.
