If it weren't for their help this time, I'm afraid his life would have been killed.
Gu Mingtai nodded to Zhang Meng, who immediately stepped forward and unceremoniously took the five small yellow croakers from him.
"We have already helped you get rid of the poison. You can handle the rest by yourself. Remember, your life was saved by me, Gu Mingtai. You must take good care of it and don't lose it again." Gu Mingtai crossed his arms and reminded in a light tone.
Wu Runfa sneered, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect my life well. If anyone wants to take it from me, I will fight them to the death, no matter who they are."
Gu Mingtai looked at his face a few times and found that this guy's face seemed to have changed a lot, from the unlucky look at the beginning to the face of both good and bad luck.
Seeing that it would get dark if they continued here, the four of them refused Wu Runfa's invitation to have dinner and quickened their pace to return to Zhangjia Village.
When the four arrived at the village, it was already dark and every household had lit oil lamps at home.
The Zhang family is no exception.
Pushing open the door to her home, which seemed like she hadn't been home for years, Zhang Meng immediately ran into the kitchen, found Grandma Zhang busy at work, and excitedly called out, "Grandma."
Grandma Zhang turned around and saw her granddaughter standing at the door. She happily threw the spatula into the pot, walked over and hugged her, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
Zhang Meng leaned on Grandma Zhang's shoulder and smelled the soap on her body. Suddenly, she felt a little relieved.
Zhang Meng originally wanted to help cook dinner, but Grandma Zhang kicked her out of the kitchen on the grounds that she must be tired as she had just come back.
Zhang Meng rushed out from the kitchen and came to the main room. She saw her younger brother whom she hadn't seen for more than half a month. The two siblings were very affectionate, talking together with their heads touching.
"Sister, why did you come back just now? When you were not at home, people often came to ask you for help, but grandma always pushed them away." The two siblings sat close together, and little Zhang Tao picked out some of the things that happened when she was not at home.
"It's the villagers from the surrounding villages. They heard about you and want to ask you to look at your feng shui or to talk to their deceased relatives." Grandma Zhang walked in with a bowl of cooked stir-fried Chinese cabbage and pork slices. She happened to hear her grandson and granddaughter talking about these things, so she explained.
"Grandma Zhang, let me help you."
"Grandma Zhang, is there anything else you can help with? We can do it."
Li Chunlai and Mo Xiaobei surrounded Grandma Zhang, one in front and one behind.
"Who are they?" Grandma Zhang pointed at the two of them.
"Grandma, they are my comrades-in-arms. They came here to attend Xiaomeng and my wedding." Gu Mingtai, who also came in with dishes, walked up to Grandma Zhang and explained.
"So you are Xiao Gu's comrade-in-arms. Don't be polite. Just treat this place as your own home." Grandma Zhang said with a smile.
When Li Chunlai and Mo Xiaobei saw Grandma Zhang's kind smile, they immediately felt very close, as if they had seen their own grandmother.
Because there were guests at home, Grandma Zhang went to the kitchen and cooked two more dishes.
The table was full of food, and almost half of it was meat. This treatment made Li Chunlai and Mo Xiaobei surprised and drooling.
Since they started eating, they haven't stopped using their chopsticks.
After dinner, Zhang Meng opened a snakeskin bag she brought back from Shanghai.
It was filled with food, clothing and other daily necessities she brought for her family that couldn't be bought here.
"Grandma, this is Friendship brand vanishing cream. It's different from the ones sold in our county. This one smells really good. Smell it."
Grandma Zhang sniffed it and smiled, "It's really fragrant. Keep it. You young people should protect your hands and faces. I'm old, so I don't need it."
Zhang Meng immediately buried it in Grandma Zhang's hand and said, "I bought this for you, Grandma. You have to take it even if you don't want it. Otherwise, I, your granddaughter, will be sad."
Grandma Zhang was happy. Her granddaughter was thinking about her when she went out. Since her granddaughter bought it for her, she should accept it. "Okay, Grandma accepts it."
Only then did Zhang Meng smile.
When they turned around, they suddenly saw the little brother looking at them eagerly.
"Don't look anymore. Sister will never forget you. Come here." Zhang Meng said with a smile.
Little Zhang Tao grinned immediately and ran over happily, "Sister."
Zhang Meng gently scratched the tip of his nose and took out a set of navy blue cotton-padded clothes made of "artificial cotton" and a set of small leather shoes from the snakeskin bag.
"Sister, are these for me?" Little Zhang Tao looked at these things with shining eyes.
Although he doesn't know whether these things are good or not, he knows that they look good.
Grandma Zhang has seen the world. When she saw these things, she knew they were not cheap. "You are such a fool, kid! Why did you buy such expensive things for your brother? How much does it cost?"
When little Zhang Tao heard this, he snatched the clothes and a pair of shoes from Zhang Meng's hand and held them tightly in his arms.
Zhang Meng smiled and said to Grandma Zhang, "Grandma, this thing is a bit expensive, but the quality is good. Also, your granddaughter didn't just spend money on this trip, I also made some money. If you don't believe me, ask Gu Mingtai. He is in your heart, he shouldn't lie to you."
