Happy Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 749 Kindness
"Old man, I, Lin Tieniu, can be what I am today thanks to your help in sending me to the army. Otherwise, the me now is at most a farmer who can only plan food in the field. This kindness, my I will never forget it in my life!"

In the main room, Lin Tieniu and Lan Qiaoer stood in front of Mr. Jiang Deqing, and said in a deep voice with a face of restraint.

After finishing speaking, he "plopped", knelt down on the ground, and then kowtowed to Mr. Jiang Deqing three times in a row.

Seeing this, Lan Qiaoer hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed without saying a word.

Seeing Lin Tieniu and Lan Qiaoer giving him such a big gift, old man Jiang Deqing felt a burst of relief in his heart, and his eyes were a little wet.

Then, he stretched out his hand a little excitedly, and said, "Get up, get up!"

Hearing this, Lin Tieniu turned his head to look at Lan Qiaoer, then pulled Lan Qiaoer to stand up slowly.

"In the blink of an eye, brother Lin has been gone for more than ten years, and your boy has grown up, and now he is married to a wife. When I go down, I will be able to have the face to see brother Lin!"

Mr. Jiang Deqing wiped the corner of his eyes with his hand, and then said with emotion.

In fact, if you want to say how deep friendship he has with the old cripple, that's not enough. It's just that he was the village head and was entrusted by the old cripple at the time, so he took good care of Lin Tieniu.

This kind of care lasted for nearly ten years. After getting along for so long, he also regarded Lin Tieniu as his grandson from the bottom of his heart.

Now, Lin Tieniu not only has a stable job in the city, but also married a wife and started a family. He has fulfilled the promise he made to the lame man back then, and he feels a lot easier in his heart.

"Grandpa, please drink tea!"

Lin Tieniu was silent for a while when he heard Mr. Jiang Deqing's words, then took a cup of tea from Aunt Zhao, held it in both hands and handed it to Mr. Jiang Deqing.

"Hey!"

Seeing this, old man Jiang Deqing hurriedly nodded in agreement, then reached out to take the teacup, and directly drank it down with his head raised.

At this moment, the slightly sweet tea, like old wine, made him feel comfortable all over.

"Grandpa, please drink tea!"

Lan Qiaoer saw Jiang Deqing put down his teacup, and hastily handed him a cup of tea respectfully.

"Hey!"

Hearing the words, old man Jiang Deqing quickly reached out to take the teacup, then raised his head and drank it down in one gulp.

After drinking, he looked at Lin Tieniu and Lan Qiaoer with satisfaction, then reached out and took out two red envelopes from his pocket and handed them over.

"The old man is here, I wish you two a happy life in the future, and have a precious son soon!"

"Thank you old man!"

Seeing this, Lin Tieniu and Lan Qiaoer hurriedly reached out to accept the red envelope, and thanked them sincerely.

"Okay, if you are free in the future, come back and see more, as long as you don't dislike it, this will always be your other home!"

Old man Jiang Deqing waved his hand, then gave instructions with a soft smile.

"Old man, don't worry! We will definitely bother you in the future, just don't think we are annoying!"

Lin Tieniu nodded, then laughed and joked.

"You boy, don't just tell me useless things. Hurry up and give birth to a big fat boy with your wife. When the time comes, bring the child to see me. It's better than anything else!"

Old man Jiang Deqing stared at the words, and then said angrily.

"."

Lin Tieniu was speechless when he heard Mr. Jiang Deqing say that.

If he remembered correctly, he found that no matter in the present or in the previous life, what the old people like to do most is either urge marriage or give birth. This is almost becoming a theorem.

"Ha ha!"

Seeing Lin Tieniu's reaction, the two brothers Jiang Jianjun and Jiang Jianguo couldn't help laughing out loud.

"What are you laughing at? You two brothers have the nerve to laugh. You two are married to wives now. What about the two of you? You're almost [-], and you haven't even found a partner!"

When old man Jiang Deqing heard the laughter, he couldn't help but reprimanded him with a bit of resentment.

Although in his opinion, Lin Tieniu is almost like his own grandson, but no matter what, Lin Tieniu is still from the old Lin family in the end, unlike Jiang Jianjun and Jiang Jianguo, who are his own grandsons, of course he hopes I can see them marrying their daughter-in-law as soon as possible.

"."

The two brothers Jiang Jianjun and Jiang Jianguo saw the fire burning on their bodies, and hurriedly lowered their heads to pretend to be an ostrich.

At the same time, they felt a little upset in their hearts, feeling that Mr. Jiang Deqing underestimated them.

If it wasn't because of the once-in-a-century famine a few years ago, they wouldn't have found a partner by now.

"Humph!"

Seeing Jiang Jianjun and Jiang Jianguo's cowardly behavior, Jiang Deqing couldn't help but snorted coldly with some dissatisfaction, then stood up and walked out of the house with his hands behind his back, as if he wanted to be out of sight.

At the same time, he was also pondering whether he should go out and find a matchmaker in the village in person to arrange a blind date for his two grandsons.

Otherwise, just waiting for them to find a partner by themselves, he doesn't know what year of the monkey will be, but he is still looking forward to seeing the birth of his own grandson!

Looking at the scene in front of him, Lin Tieniu felt a little joy in his heart, and then gave Jiang Jianjun and Jiang Jianguo a gloating look, making them turn their heads away angrily.

"Ugh, Tie Niu! Now that your wedding is over, when do you two plan to go back to the city?"

At this time, Jiang Guozhong suddenly coughed lightly, and then asked.

"We plan to go back later, Uncle Zhong, what's the matter?"

Lin Tieniu heard the words and hurriedly answered.

"It's okay, I just thought that if you are not in a hurry to go back to the city, let Jianjun and Jianguo go to their second uncle's house to sleep at night."

Jiang Guozhong waved his hand, and then opened his mouth to explain.

Originally, he and Aunt Zhao planned to vacate Jiang Jianjun and Jiang Jianguo's room as a new house for Lin Tieniu and Lan Qiaoer, but they were worried that Lin Tieniu and Lan Qiaoer would mind, so they didn't say anything before.

Now, the wedding has already been done, so he wanted to ask, if Lin Tieniu and Lan Qiaoer wanted to stay in the village, he could help arrange it.

"That's it! No need, we still have some things to do when we go back to the city. Next time when we are free, Qiaoer and I will visit you and Aunt Zhao again!"

When Lin Tieniu heard the words, he understood Jiang Guozhong's meaning as soon as he thought about it, and then he waved his hands hastily and explained.

Although he didn't mind staying at Jiang Guozhong's house, he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable when he thought that Jiang Guozhong and Aunt Zhao would hear the movement when he played with Lan Qiaoer at night.

After all, he and Lan Qiaoer are very playful, if Jiang Guozhong and Aunt Zhao are stimulated and they have conflicts, it will be a bit bad.

"By the way, these are gifts from everyone who came to eat at Xi Sui. You will take them with you when you go back to the city!"

Jiang Guozhong didn't pay attention to Lin Tieniu's explanation, so he changed the subject and talked about Sui Li directly.

"No need, Qiao'er and I both have jobs in the city, and we usually don't need this little food. Please help put away these things! Let Qiao'er and I honor you both."

Lin Tieniu looked at the huge pile of grain and whole grains, waved his hands directly and refused.

Because everyone's living conditions are not very good these days, so generally, when the abbot eats a feast at home, the good ones will pack a couple of cents, plus a little food and eggs, and those that are almost, just add a few cents, plus Some whole grains.

Among them, Lin Tieniu put away all the gift money, leaving only those grains, mountain products, eggs, whole grains and other things.

For these things, he didn't think much of them, and he was not interested in carrying them back to the city, just to subsidize Jiang Guozhong's family.

"This"

When Jiang Guozhong heard the words, he immediately hesitated.

He knew that both Lin Tieniu and Lan Qiaoer had jobs in the city, and they could eat commercial food. In addition, Lin Tieniu was also the director of the canteen of the rolling mill, so it was not difficult to get something to eat.

However, after all, it was given to Lin Tieniu and Lan Qiaoer by others. If he accepted it, wouldn't it make people gossip?
Thinking of this, he shook his head hastily, and said, "No, you should take these things back to the city! Although you don't lack them, anyway, this is also a wish from the folks, and you can't let people think that you Look down on people."

"That's all right!"

Lin Tieniu frowned upon hearing this, then nodded helplessly in agreement.

Originally, he didn't think much about it, but he felt that it was not easy to go back to the city with so many things, and he didn't care much about the opinions of the villagers.

However, since Jiang Guozhong had already said this, he couldn't refuse anymore.

After finishing speaking, he pondered for a while, and directly reached out his hand to take out the gift money from his pocket, plus a little money he had prepared in advance, and made up 50 yuan, and then handed it to Jiang Guozhong together.

"Uncle Zhong, the 50 yuan is a gift from Qiaoer and I. Thank you and Aunt Zhao for taking care of me over the years. Please accept it!"

"What are you doing? Hurry up and put it away. You have just started working, and you are building a house and marrying a wife. It is time to spend money. If you really want to thank me and your aunt, then hurry up." It's time to give birth to a big fat boy with your wife, don't mess with me like this!"

Seeing this, Jiang Guozhong frowned, and then said with a displeased face.

"That's all right!"

Lin Tieniu hesitated for a while, and then reluctantly collected the money.

At the same time, he was slightly moved in his heart.

You know, 50 yuan is not a small amount these years, and Jiang Guozhong can refuse without hesitation, it is really treating him as his own child, even more than many parents. For his sake.

In this case, he can only find ways to help in the future, so that Jiang Guozhong and his family can live a good life.

Only in this way will he not disappoint Jiang Guozhong's kindness to him.

"Come on, let me help you pack your things, it will be easier to take later!"

At this time, Aunt Zhao came forward with a few sacks and said with a smile on her face.

After finishing speaking, she squatted down and put all the food and mountain goods into the sack.

Seeing this, Lan Qiaoer hurried forward to help.

Lin Tieniu and Jiang Guozhong talked about building a house.

Then, according to Jiang Guozhong's judgment on the progress of the project, they set a time to go up the beam, and asked Lin Tieniu to arrange a time in advance to come back.

Because according to the rules of the village, the master must be present to preside over the house, and at the same time, the masters who built the house must be invited to have a meal.

Lin Tieniu didn't have any objections to this, and nodded readily in agreement.

After a while, Aunt Zhao and Lan Qiaoer packed up their things, and Lin Tieniu bid farewell.

When old man Jiang Deqing saw that they were leaving, he couldn't help but feel a little bit sad. At the same time, he was even more anxious about the marriage of the two brothers Jiang Jianguo and Jiang Jianjun.

As soon as Lin Tieniu and Lan Qiaoer left, he called Jiang Guozhong and Aunt Zhao over and discussed finding a matchmaker.

Lin Tieniu didn't know that his wedding with Lan Qiaoer made Mr. Jiang Deqing deprive Jiang Jianjun and Jiang Jianguo of their two brothers' right to love freely.

He put two full sacks on the back seat of the bicycle, then let Lan Qiaoer sit sideways on the front bumper of the bicycle, and slowly drove towards the city.

If it wasn't for his relatively good physical fitness, then it is estimated that he would be at least half exhausted after riding all the way.

If he had known this, he should have found an excuse to ask Jiang Guozhong to store his things temporarily. Now that he is carrying these two big bags, he can't enjoy the scenery of the road with Lan Qiaoer.

"Brother Tieniu, I will definitely give you a lot of children."

When she was about to enter the city, Lan Qiaoer suddenly turned her head to look at Lin Tieniu, and then said seriously.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you to give me a lot of children!"

Lin Tieniu was happy when he heard the words, then nodded with a smile and said.

"Ok!"

Lan Qiaoer nodded her head in agreement, then turned her head with joy, as if she had seen the picture of her successfully giving birth to a lot of children for Lin Tieniu.

Lin Tieniu looked at Lan Qiaoer's beautiful hair fluttering in the wind, and smelled the faint fragrance from the tip of the hair, feeling a little melancholy in his heart.

Such a good girl, why doesn't he love her?
Could it be that he was too philandering, that's why he couldn't really fall in love with Lan Qiaoer?

After thinking for a while, he still couldn't figure out why, so he didn't think about it any more.

Things have come to this, he has no other better way, can only let nature take its course.

Anyway, he is still young now, and he will still have a lot of time to solve the problem of reproduction in the future.

If after a year or so, he still fails to conceive Lan Qiaoer, then at worst, he will take Lan Qiaoer to the United States and try artificial methods.

No matter what, he believed that there must be a way.

As time passed, Lin Tieniu and Lan Qiaoer finally rode their bicycles to the gate of No. 138 courtyard in Mao'er Hutong.

Looking at the huge yard in front of her, Lan Qiaoer's eyes flashed with astonishment, and then she asked in disbelief, "Brother Tieniu, is this yard really ours?"
