"Dad, my eldest brother was just joking with my fourth cousin, please don't be angry."

Yu Chengyuan quickly said with a smile.

He didn't want to see his older brother being scolded by their father, after all, his older brother was straightforward, carefree, and didn't think much before he spoke.

"Cousin Qiufeng, my brother is right. I was just joking with you. Please don't take it to heart."

Yu Pingan quickly said with a smile.

He saw his father's stern face and realized he had said the wrong thing.

"Brother-in-law, they're just young people joking around, it's okay."

"Don't blame Ping An," Pan Erchui quickly added.

The nephew wasn't wrong; he was just a bit direct. That's just his personality, but he has a really good heart.

My brother-in-law said that because he was afraid of upsetting him, that's why he scolded Ping An.

Actually, he didn't think it was a big deal. He wasn't a particularly old-fashioned person. It's just that his parents and wife probably wouldn't agree.

But who knows what that girl is thinking? Maybe she doesn't even like his second son!

What's the point of them saying all this? Thinking of this, Pan Erchui shook his head helplessly.

"It's getting late, let's stop this small talk and get going!"

If we keep talking like this, we'll really be late.

"Yes, yes, Cousin Chengyuan is right. Let's go quickly."

Pan Qiufeng immediately echoed this.

I was so frivolous just now. How could I stare at a girl like that?

Luckily, no one saw it, otherwise it would have been so embarrassing.

That girl was really pretty, so he glanced at her a few more times, but he didn't have any lustful thoughts.

He had never seen such a beautiful girl in his village, so she was a rare find.

If I could marry such a beautiful girl, how wonderful it would be to have her as my wife!

Sigh! What am I even thinking about?

How could someone like me be worthy of him?

The group finally set off.

We laughed and joked all the way, and didn't feel tired at all.

Yu Chengyuan and his brother first took Qiu Feng and his cousin to deliver the food to the hospital cafeteria.

The hospital cafeteria is the nearest place.

Yu Chengyuan told Minister Wang that his cousin would be responsible for bringing the fish here from now on. When he left, Yu Chengyuan also gave Minister Wang a two-pound grass carp and a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes.

Of course, you can't deliver this every day; once or twice a month is enough.

Minister Wang reciprocated by giving Yu Chengyuan a pound of braised beef and two pounds of pork cracklings.

He doesn't have to spend any money anyway; it's all leftovers from the cafeteria.

He got tired of eating the same thing every day, so changing things up was a good thing, and the two of them understood each other perfectly, making everyone happy.

"Second Uncle, Cousin Qiufeng, you can take this pork crackling home to eat."

Here are two jin (1 kg), take one jin back for your uncle.

"From now on, Cousin Qiufeng can deliver them. I've already spoken to Minister Wang."

Yu Chengyuan handed two jin of pork cracklings to his second uncle.

I'll cut half of the remaining braised beef for my parents-in-law, and have my brother take the other half back for our parents.

Pan Erchui quickly waved his hand, "No, no, Chengyuan, we can't take this. You take it back for your parents to eat."

He'd already calculated his second son's wages, so why would he still want this pork lard?

Pork cracklings are a great ingredient; they can be used to make dumplings or stir-fries with chili peppers—it makes a delicious dish.

We can only eat it once a month normally. We only get pork cracklings after rendering lard from pork fat. The rest of the time, we can only eat it when a pig is slaughtered for the New Year.

"Second Uncle, please take it. It's not just for your family."

As for the braised beef, there's too little of it, so I can't really divide it up. I'll take it to my parents-in-law later, so I won't give it to you.

Take these pork cracklings back with you.

"It's good to give the money to the villagers; I was worried they'd be anxious waiting at home for the first time."

Yu Chengyuan thought that he could share some with his uncles next time there was something good, so he didn't care about this or that.

"Second Uncle, please accept this if my brother asks you to. We're all family, no need to be so polite!"

We still have to deliver vegetables to other places, so you guys should head back quickly!

Yu Pingan also helped to persuade them.

Upon hearing this, Pan Erchui stopped refusing, accepted the pork cracklings, thanked him twice, and then walked back with his son.

Seeing how good his cousin was to them, Pan Qiufeng thought to himself that if he ever had the ability, he would also be good to his aunt and uncle.

Yu Chengyuan waited for a while on the path outside the back door of the canteen, and the older sister who came to pick up the cuttlefish also arrived.

She even brought her own scale. Yu Chengyuan knew she was worried about shortchanging him, but he just smiled and didn't say anything.

The older sister looked at the weight, which was more than expected and not less, and smiled apologetically.

"Young man, don't mind me, I'm just trying to make sure I can get things done."

"It's alright, big sister, it's nothing."

Yu Chengyuan said with a smile.

After all, if the amount is less, she will have to compensate the patient's family.

Nobody's money comes from thin air; they're just earning a delivery fee.

The older sister praised him, saying, "This young man is clearly a sensible person."

They then paid and took the fish away.

The two brothers then went to the Jinjiang Hotel, where they were greeted by Chef Wang, as Boss Su was not at the hotel that day.

"Master Wang, if there are no problems, we'll be leaving now."

Yu Chengyuan said with a smile that Master Wang only did a symbolic inspection, you could say he just glanced at it and did it as a formality.

The two are now old acquaintances.

Master Wang had complete trust in the two brothers.
