"Hey, Qingzhi, I'm your second aunt! Why don't you think about it? Your family was so poor that you had no money to go to school, and it was my family that lent money to your father so that you could go to school. You can't forget your gratitude." Fu Guiying didn't expect Xu Qingzhi to refuse. The child was very well behaved during the New Year.

However, as long as he could prove his status as an elder and do her a favor, he would always make her obedient.

Everyone around looked at him, and their eyes made it seem as if Xu Qingzhi was an ungrateful person.

Xu Qingzhi's eyes gradually turned cold. Yes, he had borrowed it, and the interest rate was not low, almost like usury.

She said these four words in a normal tone, without any problem in her voice: "I know."

And then, there was no more talk.

Fu Guiying choked and was unable to speak. She still wanted to throw a tantrum, but when she met Xu Qingzhi's eyes, she was startled and a trace of fear suddenly arose in her heart.

Why is the look in this little girl's eyes so scary! Until the people at the next table got impatient waiting for their meals and shouted, "Second sister-in-law of the Xu family, why are you taking so long to serve the meal at that table? The first bowl of food has already been served."

Fu Guiying came to her senses and hurried to the table to get food without looking back. After taking a few steps, her foot twisted and she almost fell. Fortunately, someone supported her.

"Xu's second sister-in-law, what the hell is going on? Why are you still crooked in broad daylight?"

Fu Guiying smiled awkwardly and served the meal.

The first dish served was sour pepper fish, and Xu Qingzhi picked up a piece.

The taste is quite good, but grass carp has a lot of bones, so you have to be careful when eating it.

The second dish is stir-fried meat with red pepper and bamboo shoots.

The third course...

This is how banquets in Taoshui Village are done. Once a bowl of hot dish is cooked, someone will bring it up. When the previous dishes are eaten quickly, they will be taken away.

Sometimes you have to wait until there’s a gap in the dishes. The dishes at the banquet are similar, but also different. Waiting for each dish is like waiting for the lottery.

Xu Qingzhi felt full after eating half a bowl of rice. After all, he had become picky about food because of the dishes grown with spiritual spring water.

After dinner, Xu Qingzhi and Xu Fuqiang went home.

After Xu Fuqiang went to feed the chickens and ducks, he heard the sound of firecrackers one after another in the distance and knew that the enemy had arrived.

He took the firecrackers, walked out and waited at the intersection.

Xu Qingzhi sat under the persimmon tree and drank tea.

"Qingzhi, where did you buy these chrysanthemums? The tea made from them is so fragrant and delicious, with seven parts of light floral fragrance, one part of very light astringency like tea leaves, and three parts of sweetness. After drinking it, the aftertaste in the mouth is so comfortable, as if the whole mouth is wrapped in the fragrance of chrysanthemums." After Wen Shanshan made a passionate statement, she took another sip of the chrysanthemum tea in her hand.

Xu Qingzhi said casually: "I forgot where exactly, I just bought it at the market."

"I'm going to take a look at the market next time. I've never been to a market before." Wen Shanshan was very much looking forward to it.

"Okay, if I'm not busy in a few days, I'll go with you. It's a few miles to another village for the market, not too far."

Wen Shanshan nodded, then looked towards the intersection: "Uncle, why are you standing there?"

"When a villager dies, he is buried. He will pass this road later. The villagers will wait at their doorsteps or at the intersections for the coffin to pass by and then light a bunch of firecrackers to send him off."

"I've never seen it before. Let me go take a look." Wen Shanshan was about to get up when Xu Qingzhi stopped her.

"Don't go, just sit here with me and watch from a distance."

Wen Shanshan blushed and had to sit down, "Okay, I'll accompany you."

The sound of firecrackers and drums was getting closer.

The sound of firecrackers was deafening, the sky was gloomy, and the smoke along the way was carried everywhere by the wind. Even the trees on the roadside were covered with a thin layer of smoke.

The old man lived to be over ninety years old, so it was considered a happy funeral.

Xu Qingzhi remembered the day when his grandmother was buried, the sky was also so gloomy.

It seemed even more gloomy.

When the firecrackers exploded, they sometimes hit her legs, which was very painful.

Her eyes were red, and when she looked back, she saw tears everywhere. But when she saw her aunt crying heartbrokenly, she felt cold in her heart.

She really wanted to ask how much of those tears were genuine and how much were just acting.

After all, his Tao heart is still unstable.

Xu Qingzhi covered his chest and coughed violently twice.

"Qingzhi, do you have a cold?"

Xu Qingzhi shook his head, "No, I just remembered something."

"If you're not happy, don't think about it."

"Hmm." Xu Qingzhi drank some chrysanthemum tea and felt much more comfortable.

Xu Fuqiang came back with a white towel and a pack of cigarettes, "Qingzhi, your mother asked me to remind you to check the group messages. Your third aunt called your mother."

Xu Qingzhi: "Okay."

Xu Fuqiang went into the house to pack the tools, gloves, scissors, etc. needed to pick bayberries.

Xu Qingzhi took out his mobile phone, opened the group message and quickly scanned it.

Someone in the group said that her food had problems and contained addictive ingredients, and there was a huge uproar.

Wen Shanshan was watching from the side. The words turned out to be only residual images. She asked curiously, "Qingzhi, you are turning so fast, can you see clearly?"

"Um."

New messages keep popping up in the group.

Shui Mo Dan Qing: "The boss didn't say anything because he didn't dare! You've eaten this dish so many times, don't you realize that you're addicted to it? The kids can't have it, so they keep asking for it every day. The boss is just selling a unique product. My grandson took the dish for testing, and it turned out to be problematic."

Contentment is the key to happiness: "Stop making alarmist remarks here. Didn't you say you did the test? Show us the evidence. You have been shouting in the group but you just refuse to release the test report."

Shui Mo Dan Qing: "If vegetables are not treated with pesticides, they will have many insect holes. Have you never eaten farm vegetables before? You don't know. Take a look for yourself. Every time the boss sends the vegetables, there are no insect holes. What does this mean? It means that the insects have been killed by pesticides."

Lifelong peace: "I keep buying vegetables because they are fresh and delicious. My son also took them for testing, and they said they are real organic vegetables without pesticides."

Shui Mo Dan Qing: "Really organic vegetables, no bugs? That's how they trick city folks like you. When I was a kid growing up in the countryside, the cabbages that weren't sprayed with pesticides had lots of bug holes on them."

Shui Mo Dan Qing: "If you don't believe me, wait until the black-hearted boss serves the dish the day after tomorrow, and then buy it and check to see if there is not a single worm hole. This kind of dish is definitely problematic. Even a fool knows that."

Xiao Cao Qing Qing: "It seems that there really is not a single insect hole. I looked at the unpacking photos in the previous group. The vegetables are clean and fresh, and look comfortable, but there is really not a single insect hole. It's a bit strange. There should be insects if there is no pesticide."

Watercolor ink painting: "@小草青青, thank you for speaking out."

Shui Mo Dan Qing: "Everyone, please don't buy the boss's vegetables. This black-hearted boss must have done something to the vegetables, so they are so delicious, but they are sold at such a high price. Even normal organic vegetables sold in Kyoto are only slightly higher than this price. She doesn't spend much money growing vegetables in the countryside, so why does she sell them at such a high price? It's just to cheat people's money. How can such a boss who cheats people have any conscience?"

Ink and ink: "Share V blog http://svbo.com/90347689/mefpvbo?d"

Shui Mo Dan Qing: "I have already posted a V blog to expose the black-hearted boss. Please help me share it and let the black-hearted boss go to jail!"

Life is like tea: "How terrible! Fortunately, I didn't buy bayberry. I won't buy vegetables from the boss's shop anymore. By the way, do you want to have a physical examination? I am a staff member of Hai Nian Health Checkup. You can come to me to make an appointment. I will give you a preferential price of 188 per time. Everyone, check it out. The store address is: Kyoto City..."

Qingzhi clicked on the Weibo post and took a look. This Weibo post was at the end of the hot search with #food safety#, and it was quite popular.

She sighed softly and replied in the group.

“@水墨丹青, if someone uses the internet to defame another person, and the same defamatory information is actually viewed more than 5,000 times, or forwarded more than 500 times, it should be deemed as “serious circumstances” as stipulated in Article 246, Paragraph 1 of the Criminal Law, and may constitute the crime of defamation.”

"If you don't delete it and apologize within an hour, I will sue you, for sure!"

Do you really think she is a clay Buddha who can be manipulated by anyone? (End of this chapter)
