Chapter 259 Please(1/2)
Mr. Zheng thought about Jia Yi's words and found that they still made sense.
When he came back to his senses, he saw Jia Yi pouring tea and drinking. He smiled slightly and asked with concern.
"How was your harvest in Sichuan this time?"
Jia Yi suppressed the joy in his heart and pretended to be disappointed. After all, he only gained a little on the surface, and he couldn't talk about national treasures or anything like that.
"Generally, I just brought back some Pixian bean paste."
Mr. Zheng didn't believe it and said jokingly.
"Really? I thought you would come back with the national treasure this time?"
I was stunned, this old man was really amazing, he actually casually revealed Jia Yi's purpose this time.
Seeing that Jia Yi didn't respond, Mr. Zheng asked casually.
"You kid won't really get the national treasure back!"
Jia Yi smiled and responded helplessly.
"Hey, old man, I wish I had that ability."
Mr. Zheng suddenly had an impossible thought in his heart: This kid Jia Yi can't really...
Jia Yi wiped the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead and thought that he should change the subject quickly. He couldn't talk about this kind of thing too much, otherwise it would be bad if he leaked it.
He quickly took out the rice wine from the bag.
"Old man, how about we have a drink at noon?"
"He's still drinking. This old man can't control himself when he drinks. If he drinks at noon, don't expect him to be sober in the afternoon."
When Mr. Zheng heard what his wife said, he quickly begged for mercy.
"No, old lady, I promise to control myself and drink less. It's up to you! Also, it's rare that Xiao Yi wants to drink with me, so don't let Xiao Yi be disappointed."
Seeing this, Jia Yi understood in his heart that Mr. Zheng was deliberately getting drunk so that he could spend a boring time.
Jia Yi looked at Mr. Zheng's pitiful appearance and quickly tried to persuade him.
"Hey, grandma, it's okay. What I brought is rice wine. It's hard to get drunk. By the way, grandma, I also brought specialties and meat..."
Mr. Zheng looked at the back of his wife who was going to cook and said very disappointedly.
"I asked you, why did you take the initiative to drink with me this time? It turned out to be rice wine."
"Why, I look down on rice wine."
"Haha, rice wine is not satisfying at all. It's better not to drink it."
"Then please don't drink it later."
"If you don't drink, don't drink. Who cares?"
"Okay, just remember what you said."
"Don't worry, I, Mr. Zheng, never break my word."
Without saying much, Jia Yi directly opened the jar, and a special aroma of rice, wine, and sweetness wafted out.
Mr. Zheng didn't care at first, but when he smelled the fragrance, he shrugged his nose involuntarily, then sat up straight and whispered.
"The aroma of this rice wine is a bit special."
Jia Yi just smiled and didn't answer.
As the fragrance got stronger and stronger, Mr. Zheng couldn't sit still, and slowly moved towards the wine jar. Finally, he leaned over directly, sniffing the alluring fragrance with an intoxicated look on his face.
Jia Yi felt funny when he saw this, so he just drank tea and looked at his awkward look without any other unnecessary movements.
Finally, Mr. Zheng couldn't bear it anymore and said with embarrassment.
"Ahem, Xiao Yi, your rice wine is very special."
Jia Yi secretly chuckled in his heart, telling you to pretend, you might have shot yourself in the foot.
Of course, you couldn't tell from Jia Yi's face, he just introduced it seriously.
"Of course, my rice wine is made from carefully selected top-quality raw materials, and the entire brewing process is strictly controlled, so this rice wine is...
It’s so beautiful.”
The more Jia Yi said, the more greedy Mr. Zheng became, especially when he smelled the fragrance, his saliva almost flowed out.
He thought of the promise he had made so solemnly and said with embarrassment.
"Well, no matter what you say, I haven't tasted it, so I don't believe it."
Jia Yi was speechless. Mr. Zheng was trying to provoke the general, but it was a pity that it was useless. He was not really young and had lived in two lifetimes. How could he be fooled by his few words?
"That's what I said. You old man... believe it or not."
After saying that, he ignored him.
Mr. Zheng looked disappointed, but he was not discouraged. How could he not know what kind of person Jia Yi was? Such little tricks were just used to explore the way.
"Okay, in that case, don't be so nervous, kid. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Jia Yi was shocked when he heard this. Mr. Zheng actually guessed that he had an ulterior motive.
"Boy, you must be wondering why I knew you came to me for something, right?"
"Oh, yes."
Mr. Zheng was very pleased with Jia Yi's reaction. He glanced at him sideways before explaining Jia Yi's doubts.
"You just came back from Sichuan, and your first step was not to go home, but to come and see me, an old man taking a bath... Don't rush to quibble, why don't I know who your kid is? Tell me, you want me to
What should I do? For the sake of the wine, I will do it for you."
After he finished speaking, he poured a small glass of wine into a tea cup and couldn't wait to take a small sip and taste it carefully.
Seeing that his thoughts had been guessed, Jia Yi said sarcastically.
"Well, you're right, but I'm not in a hurry about this. I'm just thinking about it. Since you have nothing to do, just help me find out who wants to sell a house nearby...
"
Mr. Zheng was very surprised and raised his head to look at Jia Yi.
"Why, you kid still wants to buy it. Isn't your yard enough for your family?"
Jia Yi said a little helplessly after hearing this.
"Isn't it true that there are more and more members in the family? If they are all crammed into that courtyard, we really can't live in them."
Mr. Zheng thought about it and understood what Jia Yi meant. He frowned and thought for a while before speaking.
"Is this an emergency? If it's an emergency, there's nothing I can do. Now you know the situation, and you have to look at the right time."
"I'm not in a hurry. It doesn't matter if you take your time. The main thing I want is for you to keep an eye on me. If there is any company that is interested, you can let me know the news in time."
"That's good."
…
"Brother, when did you come back?"
Sophora japonica saw Jia Yi as soon as she arrived home, and immediately rushed towards him.
Jia Yi's face darkened, she just didn't listen to what he said, right? He stretched out his hand and touched her little head.
"What do you want to do?"
Huaihua looked aggrieved when she heard this and said pitifully.
"Brother, don't you like your lovely sister?"
As she said that, her eyes suddenly filled with water and she blinked. Jia Yi was really speechless.
"Little drama queen, I've told you so many times, but you just don't remember it."
"Hmm, I've never heard that before."
Sophora japonica shook her head vigorously, saying she was cheating.
At this moment, Jia Zhang, Xiao Dang, Xiao Xin and Xiao Yuan all came back.
Then…
Then, Jia Yi was instantly surrounded by four people. All four younger brothers and sisters clung to him and couldn't shake them off.
Jia Yi was really happy and helpless at the same time.
"I said, Xiao Danghuaihua, you two are so old, why are you still..."
Xiao Danghuaihua didn't respond. They just listened to what Jia Yi said and didn't change it anyway. They just held Jia Yi's arm and giggled. They were determined to pretend to be stupid to the end.
Jia Zhang looked at Jia Yi carefully and saw that there was nothing unusual about her grandson. He was almost the same as when he went out, with no arms or legs missing, so he felt relieved and watched the excitement.
"Oh, that's enough. Let go now. Mom and Uncle He are coming back."
When they heard Jia Yi talking about Qin Huairu, they let go of their hands, and Jia Yi was able to free his hands and feet.
