"One last time to eat!"

.

The two of them walked from one end of the street to the other, buying everything they needed. Qin Zhao, as usual, asked someone to send the things he bought back to Linxi Village, intending to walk back to the village with Jing Li.

Jing Li watched him load the backpack into the other party's ox cart and looked at him worriedly: "Do you really want to walk back? Can you do it?"

Qin Zhao paused: "..."

He took a breath calmly, loaded the goods, and tilted his head to look at him: "You will know whether I can do it or not in a moment." Miaomiao said

Jing Li: “?”

This sounds weird.

After delivering the goods, Qin Zhao did not rush to take Jing Li out of town, but went to a carpenter's shop.

The new house would be completed in a few days. After it was completed, he would move out of the small house he was living in now, and the furniture for the new house had to be ordered in advance.

Although he could go to the village to find farmers to do the work, when doing business with neighbors, especially for someone like Lin Changzhong who was already familiar with Qin Zhao, they would usually charge him the cost price for carpentry work.

After a while, Qin Zhao was reluctant to trouble them.

First, he didn't want to always owe others favors, and second, no one was rich, so it was not good to always trouble others.

But after asking several carpentry shops, the prices were all beyond Qin Zhao's imagination.

By the end of the question, Jing Li was a little dazed: "I shouldn't have eaten those candies just now..."

Qin Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

In fact, even if Jing Li didn't eat the sweet cakes, his current savings were not enough to buy all the furniture in the town.

It seems that I have no choice but to go back to the village to ask for help.

The two men came out of the carpenter's shop and were about to walk out of the town when they suddenly heard a voice behind them: "Benefactor, benefactor!"

The two turned around and saw Fang Tianying running towards them from afar.

Fang Tianying came up to him and said, "I was just about to go to Linxi Village, but I didn't expect to meet you here."

Qin Zhao asked, "Are you looking for me?"

"I was in such a hurry yesterday that I didn't have time to pay you back." Fang Tianying said, "My benefactor is about to return to the village. Do you want to have a simple meal first? I'll treat you."

Qin Zhao was about to refuse when someone suddenly pulled his sleeve gently from behind.

He turned around and saw the little boy's head tilted slightly up, his fingers tugging at his sleeves, his eyes looking at him innocently.

Qin Zhao: "..."

Qin Zhao said, "Thank you very much."

It wasn't even noon yet, and the town's restaurants were sparsely populated. As Fang Tianying entered, the waiter greeted him warmly, "Young Master Fang, are you here? Still at your usual table?"

Fang Tianying nodded.

The waiter led them to a private seat by the window on the second floor, where the view was wide and they could see the busy main street outside just by looking down.

Fang Tianying was very good at dealing with people. He knew that Qin Zhao probably didn't come to this kind of restaurant often, so he didn't ask him what he wanted to order. He took the initiative to order some of the restaurant's best dishes and said, "Let's have these first, and a pot of wine."

Qin Zhao interrupted, "I don't drink."

Fang Tianying looked at Jing Li: "Then he..."

"He doesn't drink either."

"Okay, then no more wine." Fang Tianying ordered, "Be quick."

The waiter responded repeatedly, served a pot of tea to the few people, and turned to leave.

Fang Tianying personally poured tea for the two of them and said, "My benefactor..."

Qin Zhao said, "Saving you was a piece of cake. You don't have to call me that."

"Okay." Fang Tianying thought about it and changed his words readily, "You are older than me, so I will call you big brother."

He continued, "By the way, I just saw you guys coming out of the carpenter's shop. I heard that Brother Qin's family is building a new house and needs furniture made, right?"

Qin Zhao nodded: "Yes."

"You should have told me earlier." Fang Tianying said, "Those carpentry shops you're going to are owned by my family. Just tell me what you want, Brother Qin. I'll let them know tomorrow and they'll make it and send it to you!"

Jing Li was stunned.

They were just worrying about not being able to afford furniture, and now it’s delivered to their doorstep?

Qin Zhao knew that the Fang family was in the timber business, so he just shook his head calmly: "That's your family's livelihood, and it's too expensive. I can't accept it."
