Chapter 128 A New Way to Repay
"Sister, I really don't know how to thank you."
Lan Yi held Lan Xin's hand, her eyes full of sincerity. She was tongue-tied and could only repeat these words over and over again.
Lan Xin had just taken out 40,000 yuan from the bank, a big bag full of cash, and gave it directly to Liu Zhengxin before leaving the bank.
Seeing this huge bag of money, both of them felt warm in their hearts, and the heavy stone that had been pressing on their hearts loosened and disappeared.
Lan Xin waved her hands. Although she loved to thank others, she felt a little embarrassed when others thanked her like this along the way.
"Okay, stop being so clingy. Take the money and go back to break up with Liu Shouqiang. Remember to find a notary to witness it before giving him the money. Don't forget to include a handwritten receipt."
Liu Zhengxin listened carefully and nodded continuously, "Sister, I understand."
"I will not return all the money to him." He also thought about it seriously. Lan Xin was right. They built the chicken farm together and shared the profits. Of course, they should also share the losses.
Thanks to his mother and wife, several business deals were ruined, so some of the money will definitely be deducted.
"Well, go back and check everything in the chicken farm and write it down in a notebook, so they don't cheat when the time comes." Lan Xin said, and then she shook her hands, "You guys go back first, I'll buy some more things."
Lan Xin estimated the time of the next minibus. It would be too late to cook tea eggs and sell them on the mountain when she returned. So, there was no need to rush back. Since she was already here, she might as well buy something to take back.
"Sister, let me accompany you." The couple looked at each other and said to Lan Yi and Lan Xin.
"No, you two can just ride your bikes back instead of wasting time here with me."
The bicycles that Liu Zhengxin and his companions rode over were tied to the roof of the minibus and transported all the way to the city. Liu Zhengxin planned to ride the bicycle back.
Now it's the same if one person rides alone, or if two people go back together, why should we stay and wait for her?
After saying goodbye to Liu Zhengxin, Lan Yi and others, Lan Xin walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative.
The largest supply and marketing cooperative nearby is the one in the city. Lan Xin plans to buy a larger aluminum pot for boiling water, as well as some miscellaneous items. Now that she is in the city, she might as well miss it.
Lan Xin avoided the sun all the way and walked under the eaves of the shaded trees. When she came to a house, she saw several people standing in front of her, blocking the eaves tightly. She raised her head and drank soda happily.
It was a hot summer day, and Lan Xin felt a little thirsty when she saw this, so she stopped and took out money to buy a bottle.
The soda was at room temperature, or rather, it was just soaked in well water, so it was a little cool, and it didn't have the same refreshing feeling as iced cola when it went down your mouth.
Lan Xin paused, remembering that it was only 1983, how could a small shop have the money and connections to buy a refrigerator. It would take a few more years for refrigerators to become household appliances, and now they are still considered luxury goods.
But on a hot day, it is refreshing to have a soda made from well water.
Thinking of this, Lan Xin asked the shop owner who was sitting at the door fanning himself, "Boss, which factory do you wholesale your soda from?"
The boss sat leisurely on the recliner and glanced at Lan Xin: "Why are you asking this?"
"Just curious."
“We buy it from the soda factory.”
Lan Xin continued to ask the owner of the convenience store and soon found out the location of the soda factory. Lan Xin was wondering whether she should bring a box of soda to the mountain to sell in addition to selling tea eggs.
"Boss, give me a bottle of soda."
A wave of heat came over me, and a man walked to the door of the convenience store and asked the owner for a bottle of soda.
The lazy boss slowly brought over a bottle of soda and opened the lid with a bottle opener.
With a "pop", the metal lid fell to the ground, immediately attracting two children. They rushed over like firecrackers to pick up the lid, and also picked up the previous ones that had fallen on the ground. Then the two of them ran back through the back door with their teeth bared, grabbing the things.
"You naughty boy, if you keep getting your clothes dirty while playing on the floor, I'll see if your mother will spank you tonight!"
The boss was yelling angrily, and I don’t know if the two children heard him or not.
Seeing this scene, Lan Xin couldn't help but feel happy.
The person next to him whistled happily to cheer him up, picked up the soda, and gulped down a few gulps, finishing the whole bottle.
He let out a long sigh, took out the money and was about to leave when he saw Lan Xin next to him, who was stunned and exclaimed in surprise.
"Hey, Sister Lan Xin, why are you here?"
"Ok?"
Lan Xin frowned and turned her head to look, roaring in her heart, "Am I that old? Why do you call me Big Sister?"
"Are you that...Ah Qing?" Lan Xin asked hesitantly.
The other party showed a hearty smile and nodded vigorously: "It's me, Sister Lan Xin."
He was one of the two brothers who accompanied Zhao Qingfeng to find Lan Xinyun to post on social media. Before leaving, he and Zhao Qingfeng and the others grabbed several baskets of vegetables from her, and the baskets have not been returned to her yet.
If Old Man Lan hadn't quickly made a few straw frames for Lan Xin, Lan Xin wouldn't even have anything to put her things in.
"Sister Lanxin, are you coming to the city to play? By the way, Brother Qingfeng originally asked me to go to Lanjia Village and asked if you are free tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. He plans to bring Yueling to thank you. He said that he should have come a long time ago, but something happened at home on the day he went back, so he took the little girl to Shanghai. Even the post on the circle was made by the two of us together."
Before Lan Xin could say a word, A Qing started to reveal all his secrets.
Speaking of this, Lan Xin still remembered that Zhao Qingfeng said in a tough manner that he wanted to set an example for the children and brought her here to thank him, but there was no news for so many days. Lan Xin thought he had forgotten about it, but she didn't expect to get a reply today.
"It's enough as long as the intention is there. There's no need to make another trip. It's a long way up the mountain and it's in hot weather. You also have to consider the child." Lan Xin quickly waved her hand to decline.
"Hey, Qingfeng said that you saved Yueling, so they must be brought here to thank you." Aqing looked unmoved, scratching his head and grinning foolishly.
"Sister Lan Xin, are you free tomorrow?"
What could Lan Xin do but to smile and nod, "When he's free, just ask him to come over tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll go back and tell him."
Ah Qing smiled foolishly and asked again.
"By the way, sister, have the vegetables in your vegetable garden grown yet?"
Lan Xin: "..."
She knew that it was not that he didn't have time to come, but that he had to wait until the new batch of vegetables was ripe!
"They've grown. Bring a basket and pick them tomorrow." Lan Xin said weakly.
Finally, she didn't know what she thought of, her eyes moved to A Qing, who was wearing the old man's vest. Noticing the tendons on his muscular arms, Lan Xin raised her eyebrows.
The new vegetable garden at home has not been cultivated yet. Thanks to Lan Xin's half-hearted efforts, so many days have passed and not a single row of vegetable garden has been cultivated.
Since you are here to repay your benefactor, why not do something for him, such as cultivating some wasteland or stretching your muscles, which is also a way of repaying him, right?
