If there were only a few or a dozen people, Zhang Lan would treat them easily.But once the stage was set up, there were no more than ten or eight elderly people from ten miles and eight villages who came to listen to the play. There were at least a hundred people in front of the stage every day, and there were also people from the same village and neighboring villages who would not go home at noon to listen to the play. of.

When we chatted with the old people who were listening to the show, they all came from a few villages before and after them. Everyone could get along with people of all sizes, and they would lead people over to ask for help to check their health. If they wanted to charge money, they would not treat them. But just to help out, as more and more people went to the theater, more and more elderly people came to sit in Zhang Lan's house.

Most old people are very particular about it. They usually just sit in the yard or at the door, chatting or something.But when there are more people, there will be those who are shameless and say, I am your cousin or uncle, come here to check on your health.

If you feel uncomfortable somewhere, see if there is anything you can do.This kind of person who relies on his old age and shows off his old age either doesn't talk to anyone in any way. As long as he talks to someone, he can always change the topic.

At the beginning, there were indeed some old people who came to greet Zhang Lan when he got married. Normally, when Zhang Lan was not at home, they would not come over and disturb him.

Now I am taking advantage of the time to watch the theater. Zhang Lan's family is also a relative. They come to borrow a bench, get a glass of boiling water, etc. and chat casually. When I see Zhang Lan at home, I talk about my recent problems and let Zhang Lan see if he can solve.

Most of them are basic diseases. Not many elderly people in rural areas are seriously ill. Most of those who are seriously ill know it well and will not say anything to outsiders if they can persist.

The kind of people who keep shouting about what's wrong here and what's wrong most of the time don't have particularly serious illnesses.

Because of the continuous performance of the opera for half a month, various snack sellers and snack vendors came over after hearing the sound.The elderly had bad teeth, and some were leading their own grandchildren, so there were problems with eating in one bite. Zhang Lan dealt with two choked cases and one burnt case.

After driving into the city, Zhang Lan felt obviously much more relaxed.I took the gift and went to my aunt's house to sit down. My aunt was still the same as before, and her relationship with her parents-in-law was not handled well.

In other words, the relationship between Aunt Zhang Lan and Uncle Zhang Lan's father is extremely bad, and the two of them dislike each other.But now Zhang Lan's uncle's father's health is getting worse day by day. He was still in the hospital for more than a month.

At this time, it was not appropriate for the old couple to live in their hometown anymore, so Zhang Lan's uncle took them to the city.

The relationship between Aunt Zhang Lan and her parents-in-law is not handled well, and Uncle Zhang Lan can do nothing about it. After all, the old man is old and confused now. Those are his biological parents, and he is the only male in the family. Although there is an elder sister above him, but in the Here in Canghe, the default policy is for men to take care of themselves in old age. He can't leave two old people alone.

And now Aunt Zhang Lan still lives next door to Zhang Lan's house. Anyway, Zhang Lan has no intention of renting out the house after buying it. Auntie can live here if she wants.

Zhang Lan carried the gifts to her aunt's house next door and knocked on the door. Yang Jingjing opened the door. When she saw Zhang Lan, her eyes lit up: "Brother, you are here."

Then Yang Jingjing turned her head and shouted into the room: "Mom, my brother Zhang Lan is here."

Aunt Zhang Lan came out of the kitchen next to her after hearing the sound. When she saw Zhang Lan, she smiled and said, "Zhang Lan, you are here, why are you still carrying things? If you come here carrying things again, don't come in."

"There's nothing, it's all given by others, and I can't eat it at home." Zhang Lan replied with a smile.

"Zhang Lan, please sit down for a while. I'll steam the buns here. They'll be ready soon. Knead the last two buns and put them in the pot and they'll be fine. Jingjing goes and washes an apple for your brother." Aunt Zhang Lan said. .Yang Jingjing nodded, and Zhang Lan quickly stopped her and said, "No, no, just pour a glass of water."

"Zhang Lan, please don't leave at noon. Come and eat here. We are steaming steamed buns today. I will go to the supermarket at the door to buy some food later. Let's eat steamed buns at noon." Aunt Li Xiulan was rubbing her hands in the kitchen and talking to Zhang Lan loudly. said.

"Zhong, I've been living nearby for the past few days, and I'm planning to stay at my aunt's house for two days. Don't be annoyed, aunt." Zhang Lan said with a smile.

"Hey, what you said is right. Let alone the past two days, it's okay to eat here all the time." Aunt Li Xiulan returned with a smile.

Zhang Lan's eyes turned to Yang Jingjing who was standing aside: "Jingjing, why are you at home now? Aren't you going to school today?"

"I've graduated. Now I'm just waiting to finish the exam and receive my diploma." Yang Jingjing replied.

"Have you graduated now? What's going on?" Zhang Lan asked with some confusion.

Aunt Zhang Lan wiped her hands and walked out of the kitchen. She sighed and said, "I had an internship for half a year in the second half of last year. This year, the school said that she had to do an internship for another half a year, so they didn't let her go. Then she can just find someone to stamp the internship stamp." ”

Zhang Lan nodded: "That's right. Now it's over for Jingjing. Can't she go to college or junior college?"

"Her teacher said that you can go directly to the exam when the time comes, and you can just register if you pass the exam. But there are other specific requirements, and I don't understand them clearly. Jingjing knows better. Oh, she can't learn anything from this. If I had worked harder in junior high school, I wouldn't have been like this." Aunt Zhang Lan sat down on the sofa nearby and sighed helplessly as she spoke.

"Mom, you say that every time. I've said it before. It's not that I don't learn. There's nothing I can do if I can't learn." Yang Jingjing retorted weakly.

Zhang Lan said with a busy smile: "It's okay. It doesn't matter if you are not good at studying. As long as you are willing to go to school, just follow along and get a diploma."

Aunt Li Xiulan nodded, glanced at Yang Jingjing and said, "That's all Jingjing does. She never argues with anyone. She goes when asked and studies when asked. Even if the school asks her to do an internship, the kind of electronics in the south At the factory, some other people in the class came back within three to five days, but she stayed there for three months anyway, and she didn’t come back until all her classmates came back.”

"Isn't this good? You are obedient and sensible. Don't be afraid if you don't study well. In this society, it is not always the case that you have to study well before you can find another way." Zhang Lan comforted with a smile.

Aunt Li Xiulan sighed: "Yes, it doesn't mean that if you don't go to school, there will be no other way. But teachers have said that going to school is the easiest time in your life. As parents, don't you always think about her future? Can the road be easier?"

Yang Jingjing's face on the side was getting darker and darker, Zhang Lan quickly continued to smooth things over: "Auntie, it's already here, so you can stop nagging. Jingjing will read a book when she's fine. Although she won't go to the internship, she can still read a book. Don’t suffer any loss. When the time comes to take the exam, if you get a few more points, you might be able to get into a better school. We don’t force you to go to university, it’s okay if you can get into a better junior college.”

Yang Jingjing nodded and said, "That's what I told my mother, but now she has to nag her every once in a while." (End of Chapter)
