"Talent?"
"It's okay."
"It's mainly because I've been exposed to these things since I was a kid. Over time, I've accumulated a lot of knowledge, and I've become quite knowledgeable."
Li Fangming smiled and said calmly.
Then he said: "Without the accumulation of small steps, one cannot reach a thousand miles; without the accumulation of small streams, one cannot form a river or sea... No matter what you learn, accumulation is still very important."
Cai Junze gave him a thumbs up, "Brother Fang Ming is right!"
That day, thanks to Li Fangming's explanation, Cai Junze memorized Chapter 15 of the Tao Te Ching fluently in just one day. What used to take him two days to do could now be done in one day!
Li Fangming helped out in the store for a whole day. Actually, there wasn't much he could do. After all, there were only three people in the store. For a small store of this size, two people were more than enough, and three people seemed a bit too many.
During this period, he also tasted the buns in the store and praised Liu Shulin's craftsmanship.
"Aunt Cai, your buns are the best I've ever eaten!"
"No wonder your shop is doing so well!"
This was also the most prosperous bun shop he had ever seen.
Even in the county town, there is no such prosperous bun shop.
When the shop was about to close, he said goodbye and left, saying he wanted to go home.
"Mom, what do you think of this brother I made today?" Cai Junze asked his mother after Li Fangming left.
"Not bad," Liu Shulin said. "Based on what I've seen so far, he's enthusiastic and reliable. He should be someone you can trust."
In her previous life, she had never met Li Fangming.
It can be said that I know nothing about him.
"See you, I just helped you and picked up a brother like this. I asked you to help yesterday, but you refused." Liu Shulin rolled her eyes at her son.
Cai Junze touched his nose with an embarrassed smile on his face.
And so, a few days passed.
Li Fangming came to the store and brought a copy of "Tao Te Ching" to Cai Junze.
With annotated version.
The annotations above are all handwritten and not original.
"Brother Fang Ming, this annotation wasn't written by you, was it?"
"No, I had it written."
"Oh, thank you anyway. With this annotation, it will be much easier for me to recite in the future."
These days, he had to spend two days memorizing one chapter because Li Fangming was not there to explain it to him. He then understood even more deeply the importance of understanding the article before memorizing it!
After arriving, Li Fangming helped in the store again.
The uninformed guests thought that he was a helper hired by Liu Shulin.
After all, Liu Shulin had said before that she planned to hire someone.
But, why does this helper look like the young master of your family?
During the break, Li Fangming ate a bun and asked Cai Junze about his relationship, "Is there really no turning back between you and that girl Xiao'e?"
His face was full of concern.
Cai Junze sighed, "I also hope that things will turn around, but now, it's hard to even see her. What's more, the people who came to poach her are from a wealthy family in the city, richer than my family... Sigh!"
"Which wealthy client is it?" Li Fangming was curious.
"The Yuan family didn't say, and I don't know either." Although he knew it was the Yan family, he thought it was better not to say it for the time being.
"Could it be that the Yuan family deliberately brought this up to raise the betrothal gift? In fact, there is no such wealthy family? Otherwise, why would their family refuse to tell you who this wealthy family is?" Li Fangming had such a suspicion.
Cai Junze shook his head and said, "It should be true. At the beginning, I also suspected that they were playing me, but based on my many interactions with them and my understanding of them, it seems that they are not acting. Such a wealthy person really exists."
Li Fangming reached out the hand that wasn't holding the bun, patted his shoulder, and said, "A woman who can be snatched away by someone else isn't worth dwelling on, because she doesn't love you. If she truly loves you, she won't be snatched away by someone else."
Cai Junze was startled by his words, then fell silent. He then said, "But I like her! Besides, I also feel that this isn't the choice she wants. Perhaps her family is forcing her to do so? Just like your family doesn't agree with you marrying the girl you love. Many times, in matters of marriage, the person involved cannot decide who to marry."
Li Fangming said, "I think my situation is different from Miss Xiao'e's. At least, I fought against it, but from what I heard from you, I don't think she fought against it. Even if her family forced her to do it, she accepted it very quickly. It's as if making this choice wasn't difficult for her at all."
Then I asked him: "Do you know who the girl I like is?"
Cai Junze said he didn't know and asked curiously, "Who is it?"
"She's a prostitute." Li Fangming smiled.
Cai Junze was stunned for a moment.
In an instant, he knew why his family disagreed.
How could a young man from a respectable family marry a prostitute?
It's strange that you agree!
Seeing him stunned, Li Fangming remained calm and said with a smile, "You also think there's something wrong with my choice, right?"
Cai Junze didn't say anything. He felt that it was difficult to comment on this matter.
Li Fangming continued, "It's nothing to worry about your reaction. After all, almost everyone in the world thinks the same way."
He sighed slightly, his eyes flashing with some emotion, and said: "It's just that I really like that girl. Even if she is a prostitute, I don't care."
