Chapter 184 Going out together
Fang Tong waved his hand, looking reluctant: "Then let's take half, five cents a day."
This was much less than what the old man had expected, and he was unwilling to accept it: "This is too little, or..."
"Dad!" Fang Yin suddenly tugged at his sleeve with such force that he almost staggered the unsuspecting man. "I'm hungry!"
The Fang family now gets a headache when they hear Fang Yin shout these three words!
"Dad, didn't we buy eggs yesterday? You guys were sneaking around, I saw it all. Cook me a few. Six is enough for me. I won't steal your food today."
Who can afford to eat six eggs in one meal?
The problem is that he really has eggs at home!
Old Master Fang took a deep breath and said, "Fine! Five cents is five cents, but we have to agree that food and lodging are included. You know how big his appetite is. If he says he can't eat enough here and runs back home, that won't work!"
Fang Tong originally wanted to pretend to be embarrassed, but the other person didn't give him the chance and just left.
He followed her to the door in silence and curled his lips.
Don’t even bother bringing the second child’s bedding!
Forget it, he didn't care. It was all a hassle just to make the Fang family send people over willingly. It would be nice to give them some wages.
Anyway, it will not be handed over to the Fang family, and if they want to take people away again, it will not be as easy as last time.
After receiving the wages, it is either a permanent or temporary job, and you can just leave whenever you want? Humph.
Once this matter was settled, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Turning around, he saw Fang Yin still squatting on the ground, wondering what he was thinking.
He walked over and touched his shoulder.
"Okay, second brother, everyone's gone, come in. Don't you want to play with Zhizhi? It's perfect, let's go out together."
Unexpectedly, Fang Yin pouted and didn't move.
"Third brother is bad! He is disrespectful to his elder brother and thinks I am stupid!"
Fang Tong was speechless: This guy still has a temper.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that his second brother's speech seemed to be more fluent. However, what was their relationship? How could they even talk about filial piety?
Over the years, he had been taking care of his second brother as if he were a strong child. After all, a child is definitely...
He went into the kitchen, took out a rolled towel, put it in a bowl, and put it in Fang Yin's hand.
"Eat it, it's delicious!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened.
This really made Fang Nanzhi, who had just heard the whole thing, feel suffocated. She ran out and first hugged her second uncle from behind, then reached out to her father: "I want to eat too!"
Then he stretched out another hand: "Brother, eat too!"
Before her father could react, Qin Yan's voice, faint but with a smile, came from behind her.
"I will not eat."
The little girl turned back and said seriously, "Brother, the book says that we should not be too absolute in everything. You don't want to eat now, but you may want to eat when you get to the academy. It's better to take it."
Qin Yan looked at her and smiled: "What if I don't want to eat it, wouldn't it be a waste if it goes bad?"
Fang Nanzhi raised his little chin and said, "Don't be afraid, brother. Zhizhi will help you eat it before it goes bad!"
Among the food at home, Qin Yan can eat some sugar-roasted chestnuts, but he doesn't eat much of the rest. If he has to choose one, it would be cake. This kid doesn't like anything with cream. How could Fang Tong not know this?
He held his daughter's face with both hands and rubbed it several times with his palms.
"I think you want to eat two!"
Qian Fengping also came out of the house at this time, smiling helplessly and watching them make a fuss.
"Okay, we've been delayed for quite a while, let's get out of here quickly, especially since the two children shouldn't be late."
Fang Tong slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, hurry up, your Uncle Tiezhu has been waiting for us for a long time. Second brother, you should come with us too. We will take you to the county town!"
Fang Yin had just received the towel roll and taken the first bite when he forgot about the thought of his "bad brother". Now he was holding the empty bowl in a daze.
“I haven’t eaten!”
Fang Tong then realized that the Fang family had not even given his second brother breakfast and had dragged him out of the house.
Qian Fengping responded quickly: "It's okay, there are still some pancakes left from this morning, take them and eat them on the way, I'll pack two more cakes for you."
These are easy to take and can be eaten on the road.
Fang Tong went to the ox cart first and told Tiezhu that he didn't need to go to the county town with him today. He wanted to take his second brother with him, so he asked Tiezhu to stay at home to roast chestnuts.
Of course Tiezhu has no objection. What's the harm in doing it?
Fang Tong settled his son and daughter, then pulled his second brother to sit next to him and told him not to move.
"Okay, everyone sit down!"
The ox cart swayed away from the doorstep and left the village.
Fang Nanzhi hadn't seen her second uncle for a long time. The two of them seemed to have endless things to say. One was in front and the other was behind. Fang Yin lay sideways and chatted with her.
Fang Nanzhi's reaction was faster than her second uncle's. She started by asking a lot of questions, such as what she did in the Fang family, whether she was bullied, and what she ate for three meals a day.
Fang Yin and his good friend were naturally patient and explained everything to her bit by bit.
"They kept asking me how my brother made his cakes, but I refused to tell them. They also bought me candied haws and asked me to tell them the recipe before giving them to me, but I didn't tell them!"
"Wow!" Fang Nanzhi's eyes lit up. "Second uncle is amazing and loyal! He's like a knight from a book!"
Fang Yin was about to ask what a knight was when he was interrupted by Fang Tong, who was driving the coach.
"What's so great about that? Remember this, next time this happens, you have to take the candied haws and give the wrong recipe!"
Wouldn't it be more satisfying to let them waste their time and energy thinking about it in vain?
Fang Nanzhi suddenly understood and nodded: It must be her father who learned it!
Qin Yan was speechless. This is how children are taught badly.
He has always witnessed how Uncle Fang educates Zhizhi.
Thinking of this, he said, "Remember to eat the candied haws immediately after you get them, so as not to give anyone a handle."
What's the old saying?
Not a family, don’t enter the same family!
Fang Tong brought his second brother here today, not only to deliver the goods, but mainly to give him acupuncture.
After delivering the goods and children, they went to Zhou's house in Baitong Lane, which was the address that Mr. Zhou left for them in the capital.
It was inconvenient for him to go through the main gate while pulling the ox cart, so he knocked on the main gate first and explained his purpose to the doorman.
"Oh! It's someone from the Fang family, right? Our master said so. Please allow me to report it first."
After a while, the doorman came out and said, "Don't worry about the ox cart. I'll have someone take it to the back. You can just follow them in."
Fang Tong brought his brother and followed the servants into the house. Before they had gone far, he saw a familiar face.
Hiss...Mr. County Magistrate?
Before, when he bought a cow, he went to the county government office twice to get paperwork, and he met this gentleman both times. He was very arrogant and did not take ordinary people like them seriously when they met. He asked other county officials to handle the paperwork.
