Black blind man......
"Okay, I won't make fun of you anymore. As long as you don't call me dumb, I will change my tune."
Lin Ruoyan opened her mouth to him and shouted that the little brother was mute and uncomfortable. It was obvious that the little brother just didn't like to talk and was silent, so he was not really mute.
But maybe this is also the name between their acquaintances. The younger brother doesn't mind this, and she has never made a strong request.
"I actually give him face in front of outsiders, and I will call him Mr. Zhang."
It took a while for the blind man to speak.
"I will give you face in front of outsiders and will call you Mr. Qi." Lin Ruoyan finished speaking nonchalantly and turned to ask the fat man.
"Where will we have our reunion dinner tomorrow night?"
"No need to go out, I will show you my skills as a five-star chef tomorrow." Wang Yueban patted his chest.
"Okay, I also know how to cook. Let's prepare some melon seed candies and the like. After eating, we will have a tea party and keep a vigil.
Alas, I have been following you all these years We are together with Lao Hu, but we are about to separate after the New Year, and I am really reluctant to leave." Fatty sighed.
After discussing some things to buy for the tomb, as well as the ingredients to be prepared for tomorrow, they dispersed and went to do their own things.
Early the next morning, Hu Bayi and the four of them returned to the compound with some gifts.
After lunch, the fat man went back, and Lin Ruoyan chatted with the old man all afternoon, listening to him tell the stories of the heroes and martyrs of his ancestors.
At dusk, she thanked the old man for staying and returned to the courtyard alone.
Mr. Chen and Fatty were looking around a bunch of things.
The younger brother is missing. He is probably dealing with some matters concerning the Zhang family that he mentioned and has not returned yet.
"Sister, you are back. Why don't you open this New Year's greeting gift given to you by name?"
The fat man's face was a bit complicated and tangled. , there are a bunch of them sent by people from the Jie family, even the little brother has them.
Because of some disputes with the Jie family when his sister disappeared, he couldn't tell how to deal with the Jie family's overtures.
He and Blind Man Chen were not at home at the time. These were followed by Wang Yueban and Blind Man Heizi who were unaware of the entanglement.
"For me?" Lin Ruoyan couldn't remember who else in this world would give him gifts except for them.
Out of curiosity, I opened the gift box in front of him.
This box is not too small. After opening it, there are boxes of some snacks she likes to eat, and a small brocade box one foot square on one side.
After taking out the snacks and placing them on the table, he took out the brocade box and opened it. He found that on the red silk satin, there was aAn auspicious cloud and a green jade hairpin.
The jade is smooth and restrained, the jade flesh is delicate and flawless, and the patterns and carvings are simple. She doesn't understand the value and can't tell.
It feels very valuable.
"Tsk, tsk, this hosta is not cheap. It looks like an ancient artifact that has been passed down for a long time. It has such a rich feeling and is worth a lot of money."
Black Blind Man's The tone was excited.
Is it so valuable? Lin Ruoyan closed it and placed it on the table.
"Who gave this to me?" Lin Ruoyan asked.
"Jie Jia, little girl, you are very familiar with Jie's family. I want to give you such a precious thing?" the black blind man said with a smile.
He and Wang Yueban received this gift. Originally, they did not accept these gifts because the owner was not at home.
It’s a pity that those members of the Xie family didn’t care. When they saw someone there, they just put it down and left.
"Hosta? Miss Xiaolin..." Blind Chen was about to explain his family's affairs.
But then he remembered that she had lost her memory, and everyone had always tacitly wanted her to be involved in the Jie family's affairs, so they shut their mouths again.
"Mr. Chen, what's wrong?" Lin Ruoyan stopped talking when he saw him mid-sentence.
When Fatty saw such a valuable thing among Lin Ruoyan's gifts, it was clear that the gifts he and Blind Man Chen had were all medicines, food and drinking supplies.
My heart skipped a beat when I thought about the little brother knowing that he asked the girl to take it apart.
"Sister, let's put this hairpin in again and return it." The fat man said quickly.
"Fat man, this is not like your character of taking advantage. Did the blind man think you would persuade her to sell her for money?" The blind man teased with a smile.

"This gift is too expensive, and I really need to send it back. The Jie family... must have been given by Jie Yuhua, whom Brother Hu and the others know." Lin Ruoyan suddenly realized.
It was probably given to her as a new year's gift to Brother Hu and the others, but this hosta was indeed too valuable.
"When Brother Hu and the others come back, let them send them back." Lin Ruoyan put the things back.
"I'd better go and deliver it now. It won't be good if it takes too long." The fat man stood up. He couldn't let the little brother know about this.
"Fat brother, at this time, the head of the family is probably very busy and has no time to pay attention to you.
Besides, at this time, it would be too disrespectful for you to return the gift. It’s too shameful for the family to celebrate the New Year, which is taboo for business people.
Let Brother Hu and the others invite them out for a good meal, explain the situation, and go back in private. ” < /p>
Wang Yueban advised from the side, "The Jie family belongs to the same nine sects, so it will not do any good to offend them. Don't look at the fierce internal fighting between them., if it really hurts the face of Jiumen, even if they don't get along, both will be harmed. It concerns your own face, and other families will not ignore it.
Unless we don’t want to be involved in the inversion world, wearing small shoes is quite annoying. ”
“Is the Jie family’s origins so great? "
Lin Ruoyan thought of Jie Yuhua, whom he had met several times before. She was gentle and polite, but her temperament was not what Wang Yueban said.
"Who cares? I'll send it back now. "When Fatty Niu Jin comes up, he doesn't care about Jie Family or Jiumen.
"Second Fat Brother, it's okay to send her back now. I don't think that Jie Yuhua is a grudge..."
"What to give? "Zhang Qiling, who had just stepped into the main hall, clearly heard the explanation in Lin Ruoyan's mouth. She suppressed her heart churning and asked as calmly as possible.
"The hosta I gave you is quite valuable. "The black blind man was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, so others would speak first.
Zhang Qiling took a deep breath and suppressed the thick sourness, "Why are you here? ”
“I have no money, so come here to eat and drink.” "The black blind man shrugged.
"Xiao Zhang, you are back and we are waiting for you to start dinner. Fatty, put the things aside quickly and put the food on the table." " Blind Chen on the side said.
The topic was dropped.
"I'm going to serve the food right now. "The fat man and Wang Yue walked to the kitchen.
Lin Ruoyan and his younger brother Hei Xiazi packed up the things on the table. The fat man even moved the TV here specially.
No wine It was not a banquet, so they sat around the table and clinked glasses one after another.
Except for Lin Ruoyan, the one in front of her was the castle red wine that Xue Liyang brought back, while the others drank white wine.
While watching the Spring Festival Gala, it was fun. The sound of firecrackers and fireworks continued outside, and the atmosphere of the New Year was strong.
On the antique building's flower windows and door lintels, they all posted flower-cut couplets together.
p>The five people who had no relatives in the world seemed to have family members to tie them to at this moment.
After finishing the meal, the dishes were removed and a dish of dried melon seeds, candies, and fruits was placed. Such snacks.
Wang Yueban also fried a large plate of spiced peanuts, which were crispy and delicious.
Except for Zhang Qiling who remained silent as usual during the dinner, even the black blind man told anecdotes about the strange things he had encountered in the past years.
Lin Ruoyan thought of his little brother when he was a child, and no one had ever given him sweet candies.
He took a piece of candy from the plate and secretly put it in his hand under the table.
“Brother, it’s very sweet. Try it. "Lin Ruoyan said in a low voice, Fatty Brother and none of them eat sweets, for fear that he would be too embarrassed to eat.
Zhang Qiling raised the corner of his mouth slightly and held her hand.
He has never I never thought about it, it turns out it’s Chinese New YearIt can also be like this.
With someone to accompany you, it is lively and lively, instead of lonely and dark.
The black blind man who was telling a story on one side accidentally saw the little movements of the two of them under the table, and for some reason he felt a feeling of envy in his heart.
"The next thing I will talk about is what happened in the capital a few years ago." The black blind man put away the thoughts in his heart and continued.
"At that time, a special incident occurred in a seven-story building in a unit within the Second Ring Road.
Somehow a big fire broke out on this seventh floor. It was difficult to put out the fire. After the fire was finally put out, 14 bodies were found inside. ”
