Chapter 141 Frozen into Popsicles (13)
Seeing Ling Jiang didn't say anything, the man thought he was being too expensive and quickly explained, "My calcium tablets are all within their shelf life and have been well-preserved. They won't cause any problems. The people selling them at this time are just trying to make sure they're safe, so they're a little more expensive. But I guarantee they're genuine medicine. I still have the invoice."
After saying that, the man actually took out the invoice, which made Ling Jiang want to buy it even more.
Moreover, she didn't think that 10 packs of instant noodles were expensive, but she thought the price was too cheap. After all, she was already prepared to exchange medicine for medicine, but she didn't expect that instant noodles would be the solution.
Ling Jiang said, "But I didn't bring that much instant noodles. Can I use something else? It's also edible."
Ling Jiang took out a bag of self-heating rice, 5 bags of instant noodles, 1 bag of compressed biscuits and 2 bags of snacks. The compressed biscuits she took out were in a pack of 8 pieces, which was twice as many as the ordinary pack of 4 pieces, so 1 bag of compressed biscuits plus two bags of snacks together are actually about the same.
The man did not hesitate and immediately made a deal with Ling Jiang.
After changing her calcium tablets, she didn't rush to leave. She brought her child out just to visit the market. After walking around the small market twice, Lan Jin said, "Qiao Qiao, it's enough. Let's go back. There's nothing left to see."
The novelty had almost worn off. After Ranchoqiao couldn't find anything new to do, he said, "Okay, let's go home."
…
'Sizzle, sizzle.'
Before the three people and the dog left the market, the walkie-talkie in Ling Jiang's arms rang.
Not long after, Lao Gao from the opposite side said, "Ling Jiang, Sister Ling, there's a man and a woman on the 31st floor swearing loudly. Xiao Huang went downstairs to take a look and said they were Sister Lan's ex-parents-in-law."
Although Lao Gao knew everything that had happened to Lan Jin before, he had never seen it with his own eyes. However, Huang Jinghe followed the whole process and recognized who the person downstairs was at a glance.
Knowing that Lan Jin had a bad relationship with her former parents-in-law, Huang Jinghe ignored them and went straight upstairs. He then turned around and asked Lao Gao to contact them.
Ling Jiang laughed and said, "We just ran into them on the way to the market. Lan Jin even kicked her. These two must be unhappy and want to go to her house to pester her."
She was a little surprised that these two people knew Lan Jin's home address.
"She should have found out about it before. It rained not long ago. I don't think she expected that I could survive until now with the child, so she never came to look for me. After the commotion just now, I'm afraid she won't leave easily." Lan Jin frowned. She really disliked these two people.
But this relationship was quite awkward. Huang Jinghe really didn't know what to do for a moment. Even if he let the other party make a fuss, Lan Jin would still make a big fuss after coming back, and he couldn't drive her away.
After a brief silence, Lao Gao said, "I'm a little annoyed by these two quarreling. Can I help resolve it?"
Lan Jin naturally had no objection. "It's up to you. You know my situation well. You can do whatever you want."
Lao Gao asked again: "Where are you guys now? Have you changed your calcium tablets?"
"I just changed and was about to come back, but we haven't left the market yet, so it will take some time to walk back."
Although the market is close to the community, the road is difficult to walk on. No matter how well-equipped you are, it will take you at least 20 to 30 minutes to get home safely in order to prevent slipping.
"Okay, I'll take care of it. You guys can take your time. There's no rush."
After saying that, Lao Gao cut off the line.
…
Based on her personality, Lan Jin really thought that Lao Gao would just kill the man directly, and she would not even see his shadow when she came back.
But she overestimated Lao Gao. When she came back, on the 31st floor, Ren's father and mother had their mouths gagged with cloth strips, and their hands and feet were tied with ropes. They were thrown in a corner like door gods. The scene was really strange and ridiculous.
Ling Jiang couldn't help but laugh at this amazing sight. "This is, this is, indeed, something Lao Gao can do."
Lan Jin sighed. As expected, she shouldn't have such high expectations of others. "Stop laughing! Be careful of getting a stomachache. Let's go home."
The door to the safe passage was opened. Before officially entering, Lan Jin glanced at Ren's mother's face.
Her eyes were just as vicious as before, as if she wanted to tear her apart.
Lan Jin was unhappy and ignored the two people's constant struggles and went straight upstairs.
Given the low temperature outside, it's okay to sit in the corner for a while, but if they stay there for too long, I'm afraid both of them will be frozen into popsicles overnight.
But Lan Jin had no intention of rescuing the other party. Regardless of whether the two people appreciated it or not, Lao Gao had only tied the two people's hands and feet. Anyone with a little bit of common sense would have thought that they could roll together first, help each other untie the ropes, and then they could leave.
Now, it all depends on whether these two people have the brains to do this.
But Lan Jin felt that these two people did not.
…
After returning, Lan Jin ignored Ren's father and mother and told them the news she had just heard at the market.
Lan Jin originally planned to start burning charcoal, but Lao Gao stopped her immediately. Lao Gao said helplessly: "Sister Lan, why don't you let me use the radio? How come you haven't received any news?"
Lan Jin was stunned and smiled bitterly. She didn't know what was going on. She always missed all the news on the radio. But today's news was not heard on the radio. Someone said it directly on the spot.
But Lao Gao didn't believe it and didn't allow her to refute (quibble) at all. He immediately asked Lan Jin to bring the radio and turn it on.
At this moment, a message was being broadcast on the radio in a loop. Wasn't it the same message they heard at the market?
"The latest news, the latest news..."
At the same time, their eyes met.
Lan Jin was a little embarrassed. "It's definitely not that I don't know how to use it. I've tried all the channels. I'm not that stupid."
"I didn't say you were stupid, I just thought you might be unlucky."
Although the words were not made clear, what difference does the meaning make?
Lan Jin sighed and finally handed over the radio.
…
When she has free time, Lan Jin starts to help her children with their studies.
She prepared a lot of children's enlightenment reading materials, white paper, and paintbrushes for her child in advance, but these were actually all that such a young child could learn, so she started teaching him with Arabic numerals.
As for numbers, Lan Qiaoqiao can read them and count from 1 to 100 without any problem, but writing them down is a bit difficult for her.
Although the child is over 3 years old, he has not grown taller, which makes his hands very short and he cannot hold a pen properly. Lan Jin had no choice but to change his original plan of following and writing to pointing and recognizing. It was good enough if you could recognize it.
