Return to the small mountain village in 1993

Chapter 202: Please the Grandma Zhang Hai
After entering the twelfth lunar month, the weather becomes colder and colder, and it snows every few days.

Living in Hongshi Village, Tian Hao did nothing else. Apart from taking care of Wang Xiuying's three meals a day, he just wandered around Hongshi Village.

He was thick-skinned and well-spoken, and he soon became familiar with many people in the village.

I learned that the family I was renting from did owe a lot of money. However, their family had their own property. As long as they were given enough time, they could pay it all off.

Tian Hao thought that such a family might be able to sell their house, so on the fifth day after arriving in Hongshi Village, he paid a visit carrying a small gift.

"Hello, my name is Tian Hao, and I am the person who rents your old house."

When he arrived at Zhang Hai's house, he was greeted by Tian Hao, an old man with white hair.

"Oh, hello, come in."

After understanding Tian Hao's identity, the old man welcomed Tian Hao into the house enthusiastically, "It's unfortunate that I'm here. My son, daughter-in-law, and grandson's wife are not at home, so I'm the only one at home."

"It's okay, I'm just here to sit down."

Tian Hao handed the gift in his hand to the old man, "These are some snacks I bought, which are just right for you to eat."

The old man opened his mouth, smiled and waved his hands: "I have no teeth, so I can't eat."

Tian Hao opened the gift. Inside was very soft bread, which smelled particularly fragrant. He picked up the bread, tore off a piece and handed it to the old man, "This kind of bread is very soft and suitable for old people like you. You Taste it.”

"I will do it myself……"

The old man looked at Tian Hao with some caution.

Tian Hao smiled and stuffed the bread into his mouth, looking like he was enjoying it, "It's very fragrant, delicious, and soft."

The old man is like a child. The older he gets, the younger he gets. That's true.

Seeing Tian Hao eating the bread, the old man who was still very determined couldn't help but swallow, then he took another piece of bread Tian Hao handed over and threw it into his mouth.

"Is it delicious?" Tian Hao asked.

The old man smiled and nodded, "Well, it's really delicious and soft!"

"If you like it, I'll buy it for you, okay?" Tian Hao said with a smile.

The old man said sheepishly: "Don't waste money. I can't eat much. This thing must be expensive, right?"

Tian Hao said: "It's not expensive."

The old man said: "You are such a good boy. What is your name? Tian Hao? You are such a good boy."

Tian Hao said a few more words to the old man and then left, without talking about buying a house.

The next day, Tian Hao went again, still carrying a box of bread.

Zhang Hai was still not at home, and the old man was still the only one at home. After the two talked for a while, Tian Hao went home.

The third day was the same. It wasn't until the fifth day that Zhang Hai came to Tian Hao's rented house with gifts.

"You are so polite. You go to talk to my grandma every day and bring her bread. What she talks about most now is the bread you bought."

Zhang Hai sat at the table and expressed gratitude to Tian Hao.

Tian Hao said: "It's nothing, just a box of bread. Grandma likes it."

Zhang Hai glanced around and asked, "How is living here?"

Tian Hao said: "It's very good, so I want to buy it. Is it possible?"

Zhang Haidao: "It's not impossible to sell the house, but I can't make the decision alone. I have to go back and discuss it with my grandma and my parents."

Tian Hao said: "Okay, then I'll wait for your good news." Zhang Hai left.

Wang Xiuying said: "I think your efforts are in vain. Zhang Hai seems to be a shrewd person at first glance. He looks very easy-going and easy to talk to. In fact, he is very independent in his heart."

Tian Hao said: "It doesn't matter. We are going to live here for a long time anyway. If they don't sell it, we will find other homes. In such a big village, as long as our price is right, there will always be someone willing to sell it."

Wang Xiuying said: "Do you really plan to stay here for a long time? The New Year is coming soon, do you plan to celebrate the New Year here too?"

Tian Hao said: "Let's talk about it after the New Year. In your situation, it is impossible for us to go back to Tianba Village. Even if we want to go back, we must make sure that you won't have any problems before going back."

Wang Xiuying said: "I didn't have a problem originally, but you being so cautious made me feel like there was a problem."

Tian Hao said: "Okay, let's talk about it then. I have one more thing to do now. If it succeeds, we can save many years of struggle!"

Wang Xiuying asked in surprise: "What's the matter?"

Tian Hao smiled mysteriously, "It will be kept secret for now."

In the following time, Tian Hao still wandered around Hongshi Village, chatted with the villagers, and mingled with the villagers. Then he still bought a box of bread every day and went to Zhang Hai's house to chat with Zhang Hai's grandma for a while.

After so many days of contact, Tian Hao also expressed his thoughts to Grandma Zhang Hai.

Grandma Zhang Hai firmly disagreed at first, because she and her wife built that house bit by bit, and there were too many memories of her and her wife there. However, under Tian Hao's "bread" offensive, she gradually Shaken.

Time has come to the end of the year before we know it, and the New Year will be celebrated tomorrow.

At this time, most people will kill the New Year pig.

However, the New Year pigs in Tianba Village were killed a month ago, because people in Tianba Village like to eat smoked bacon, so they kill them early and smoke them early so that they can have fresh smoked bacon to eat during the New Year.

Red Rock Village is different.

They usually kill the New Year pig only after the Lunar New Year.

On this day, Tian Hao received invitations from many people, inviting him and Wang Xiuying to eat pig-killing rice.

Tian Hao readily agreed, but in the end he only went to two companies.

One family is the village party secretary Zhang Chenpeng's family, and the other family is Zhang Chengfu's family.

As for Zhang Hai's family, he was also invited.

Zhang Hai's family all thought that Tian Hao would definitely come, but they didn't expect that Tian Hao actually went to Zhang Chenpeng and Zhang Chengfu's home.

Zhang Chenpeng's family is reasonable. After all, he is the village party secretary. Being able to invite him to eat pig-killing rice means that he is valued very much. But what is going on with Zhang Chengfu's family?

Zhang Chengfu and Zhang Hai have been fighting since they were young. They have always been in harmony with each other. Tian Hao is trying to please Zhang Hai's grandma while getting along with Zhang Chengfu. What on earth does he want to do?
Zhang Hai’s family was very confused, and Zhang Chengfu’s family was equally confused.

Even Zhang Chenpeng was confused.

"Tian Hao, you have been in our village for a while. You must have heard about the grievances between Zhang Hai and Zhang Chengfu, right?"

While eating pig-killing rice, Zhang Chenpeng couldn't help but ask Tian Hao, "What do you want to do by trying to please the two families? Do you want to be the peacemaker?"

Tian Hao smiled slightly.

He did this to arouse Zhang Chenpeng's curiosity, and then he would have the opportunity to have more communication opportunities with Zhang Chenpeng.

In the past, his chats with Zhang Chenpeng were just about trivial matters in daily life, but the feud between these two families was Zhang Chenpeng's heartache. If it could be resolved, he would definitely get Zhang Chenpeng's greatest recognition.

Only with Zhang Chenpeng's approval could Tian Hao have the opportunity to know the whereabouts of the red stone containing blood jade.
