Yi 'er continued," Sister must be talking about Brother Shuisheng giving Sister Lian something. Brother Shuisheng even carved a pony for me out of wood. It's very beautiful, isn't it, Sister?”
“……”
"Ahaha…"
Amelia stomped her feet. She could not do anything to Yi 'er, so she could only glare at Yang Ping fiercely.
Yang Ping buried her head in the bowl and tried her best to hold it in. Her shoulders trembled.
Yi 'er was at a loss again. Did I guess wrong?"
Aunt Wang stopped smiling." You're right, you're right. Our Yi 'er is the smartest. Next time, your Brother Shuisheng will come and ask him to carve you another little toy!"”
Yi 'er nodded seriously and continued eating.
Xu Changqing felt relieved when he saw his nephew and niece being so happy in the Wang family. He thought about how after his sister and brother-in-law left the three children behind, the family could not use their strength. His parents were so anxious that their heads turned white, and his brother and sister-in-law were even more exhausted. However, Brother Wang's family made up for the lack of comfort and laughter of the three children with just their kindness. He was very grateful. It was easier to add flowers to the brocade than to send charcoal in the snow. The care and concern that the Wang family had given to the three siblings during their most difficult times was deeply felt by the people of Fragrance Valley and the people behind the Yang family. He raised his wine glass to Brother Wang. Brother Wang and his wife were honest and kind, and their children were sensible and polite. They were a rare good family. He looked at Uncle Cheng and saw that the other party nodded at him slightly. He said,"I heard from Master that Big Brother has a son working in the city?”
"Hey!" Speaking of his eldest son, Uncle Wang couldn't help but feel a little more proud. He put down his chopsticks and wiped his hands on the table." Yes, Boss. I've been working as a clerk in a shop selling goods from the north and south for five or six years. We have a lot of mountain products here, and the fur is also good. Our business is quite prosperous…but-"
He paused for a moment." But when I came back from the Mid-Autumn Festival, I mentioned that my boss is getting old and wants to go back to the south. I don't know what to say."
"Aiya, dad, we're eating, don't talk about this!”，"Anyway, the marriage is almost done!" Aunt Wang interrupted.”
"Big Brother, Sister-in-law…" Xu Changqing raised his voice slightly and said solemnly,"To be honest, I came here this time to see the siblings and to buy some property for them as my mother asked…"
" I plan to open an embroidery workshop for Ping Ping first. If Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law trust me, I'll let…" Xu Changqing looked at Uncle Cheng.
"Success!"
"Right, let Dacheng come over and be the shopkeeper. The treatment will be the same as the other shops in the family. Thirty taels of silver a month and a 20% bonus at the end of the year!”，Seeing that the family of four was in a daze, Xu Changqing could only continue,"You don't need to worry about the embroidery workshop's stock. The family has made arrangements and the embroidery lady's family will also send a few. Dacheng is only responsible for managing the sales in the shop.”
"This-this-no, no!”，Uncle Wang and his wife looked uneasy and waved their hands repeatedly.
Aunt Wang was more agile than him and was the first to react."Third Brother, I know you want to take care of our family, but you can't do this!”，She wanted to say that her son's monthly silver tael was enough to make many people in the village jealous. Thirty taels, thirty taels was enough for the whole family to chew on for two years! He didn't even dare to think about getting a bonus. He said anxiously,"I have no objections to opening a shop for the Ping girl and letting Dacheng work there. However, this money is not enough. Father, say something!"
Uncle Wang finally reacted. He hurriedly stood up from the stool and hurriedly took over his wife's words. He waved his hand and said,"Yes, yes, Third Brother, I know you have good intentions, but you can't give money like this. There's no such thing in our county!”
Uncle Cheng raised his right hand and pressed Uncle Wang's shoulder to make him sit down. He said slowly,"Brother, Changqing trusts you two and Dacheng. Brother, send a message to Nephew for him to come back and discuss it. As for the monthly money, you two don't have to refuse. This isn't for you two, it's for the shopkeeper of the shop!”
Xu Changqing filled Uncle Wang's glass.""Master Cheng is right. Big Brother and Sister-in-law, all the shopkeepers and managers in the family have a fixed monthly salary. Of course, there are rewards and punishments. If the two of you refuse, what will happen to the other shops in the future?”
"But this, this-"
Aunt Wang's forehead was sweating from anxiety. Amelia thoughtfully wiped it for her. Seeing that Yang Ping was constantly winking at her, she could only glare at her and whispered,"Father, Mother, why don't you tell my brother to do his job properly?”
"Yes! It was these words that Miss Amelia was so generous!”，Uncle Cheng praised him, and Xu Changqing nodded.
"This…Alright, alright, I'll listen to Third Brother. When Dachengzi comes back, I'll give him a good lecture. If he dares to not do his job properly, I'll break his legs!”
"Alright, I'll talk to him too!" Aunt Wang echoed.”
On the other side, Zhu Zi winked at Little Fei, but Little Fei picked up a chicken leg mushroom and tasted it carefully, leisurely pretending not to see it.
Uncle Cheng took a sip of wine and asked him with a laugh,"Pillar? You want to learn kung fu?"
"Yes!" When Zhu Zi saw that Uncle Cheng had finally noticed him, he jumped up without thinking, unable to hide the excitement in his eyes.
His father kicked him under the table."We're eating! What are you jumping for! Hurry up and sit down."
Zhu Zi did not care about his father. He took two steps forward and stood straight in front of Uncle Cheng. He clenched his fists and his eyes were filled with anxiety."Uncle Cheng, Uncle Cheng, Xiao Fei said you know kung fu. Can you teach me?”
Uncle Cheng put down his cup and his face returned to its usual seriousness."Then tell me, why did you learn kung fu?”
"In order to go hunting in the mountains, I exchanged money to buy wine for father and clothes for mother! The more he spoke, the redder his face became. The young man's originally tanned face seemed to have been dyed by the sunset. Looking at the smiling faces, he clenched his fists tightly and puffed out his chest as he said loudly,"Protect big sister, protect little sister Ping, little brother Xiao Fei and little sister Yi 'er!”
Uncle Cheng and Xu Changqing nodded secretly.
"You silly boy, what's wrong with you?" Aunt Wang scolded. Father and Mother don't fight with others and don't need your protection. Why don't you sit down and eat!”
Zhu Zi was rarely serious. His honest, anxious, and helpless expression made everyone laugh. Yi 'er was even more overjoyed. She laughed until she rolled into Yu Lian's arms. As she let Yu Lian rub her stomach, she said,"Brother Zhu Zi, why are you talking so loudly? If I don't need your protection, then protect me!”
"You clever little thing!" Amelia could not help but pinch her little face.
Zhu Zi turned around and looked at him. He still stood there stubbornly. His feet did not move at all as he stared at Uncle Cheng hopefully.
"Not afraid of hardship?"
"I'm not afraid!"
"Don't do bad things?"
"Don't do bad things!"
"Don't cause trouble?"
"Don't cause trouble!"
"Filial piety to parents, respect to brothers and sisters, love to younger siblings…"
"Filial piety to parents, respect to brothers and sisters, love to younger siblings…"
“……”
"Alright, then follow me from now on! Remember what you said today!"
"Ah?"
" Haha…" Xiao Fei laughed and poured him a cup of tea."Junior Brother, quickly serve Master some tea!”
"Ah?" Zhu Zi scratched his head.
"This silly fellow!" Uncle Wang pointed at him and laughed." Master Cheng has accepted you. Why aren't you kneeling down and kowtowing to serve tea?" In the future, listen to Master and be filial to Master!”
"Aiyo, this fool-hurry up and kowtow!”，Aunt Wang wiped her tears with the back of her hand. She understood what Brother Cheng had said to educate her son just now. Her heart was pounding. He was helping the couple to teach their child to become a useful person and a good person.
Zhu Zi was honest and upright. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times. Then, he took the tea that Xiao Fei poured and raised it above his head."Disciple will listen to Master in the future, be filial to Master, and treat Master to tea!”
Uncle Cheng took it with a smile and took a sip. Without getting up, he took out a short dagger from his boot and handed it over."Since you've already acknowledged me as your master, I'll give this to you! Use it well, don't do whatever you want, and don't bully others!”
Zhu Zi was stunned for a moment before he could not contain his joy. He took it with both hands. This was the dagger that Uncle Cheng had used to dissect the venison. The black scabbard was simple and elegant. Other than the two turquoise stones embedded on the handle, there were no other patterns. However, the cold light from the streamlined blade made people feel a chill. It was the sharp sword Yan Qiushuang.
Uncle Cheng continued," The family has invited a teacher for Little Fei. He will be here soon. From now on, you have to study with him for four hours every morning. The rest of the time, you can follow me. Get up!"”
"Study?"
"Yes, study!"
Zhu Zi was stunned. Uncle Wang and his wife's smiles became even wider.
"What's wrong? You want to go back on your word?"
"…No, no regrets! If you want to study, then study!" After saying that, he kowtowed three more times before getting up.
After the meal, Xu Changqing stood up. Uncle Wang knew that his uncle and nephew had a lot to say when they returned home, so he did not ask them to stay. Not long after they left, Wang Maocai brought a few people from the village to express his gratitude. As soon as they sat down, Wang Maocai took out something wrapped in straw paper and handed it to Wang Fugui."This is the deer antler and a piece of muskiness that was sawed off from the buck. I'll have to trouble Brother Fugui to return it to the Yang Family girl. The venison has been distributed to everyone in the village, so we can't keep this! Also, I'll make a pair of boots for each of the elders in the village after the deerskin is ready…"
"Yes!"
"Yes, we are all grateful to the Yang family girl!”
“……”
Wang Fugui didn't reject it. He nodded and took it."Alright, I'll send it over to Ping girl tomorrow.”
Li Zheng and the others didn't stay any longer, only saying that if the Yang family had any problems in the future, they could call them.
The house was cleaned up. Wang Fugui bolted the door, and when he passed by the window of the east wing room, he warned Zhu Zi loudly, telling him to be more alert at night and be careful not to let the yellow weasels eat the venison that was hanging in the backyard. Zhu Zi agreed and hugged the dagger as he lay on the brick bed happily. He decided to get up more often at night and walk around the backyard. From tomorrow onwards, he would learn kung fu. He would be a person who could kill wolves and wild boars!
