When Fang Zhilin heard his uncle say this, he smiled happily, his eyes shining.
Not long after Meng Xiangan finished speaking, he heard some noise outside. He looked towards the door and saw several strangers.
Looking at those people holding farm tools, Fang Zhiyi knew that the owner of the house had returned.
After the warm welcome, they were driven into the house and were not allowed to work no matter what. Fang Zhiyi sat in the house awkwardly, being stared at by those people.
She felt embarrassed before when there were only a few of them, but now she couldn't sit still because everyone was so enthusiastic.
Fang Zhiyi was now thankful that they had split up the family, otherwise there would have been even more people. Even though they had split up the family like this, there were still about ten people in total.
The great-grandfather lives with his eldest son, who looks like an old man now. His eldest grandson is about the same age as Fang Zhiyi.
His eldest son lived with his eldest son, and they had many children, three boys and two girls in total. Except for the eldest daughter who was married, everyone else lived together.
Since they are not married, there is no talk of dividing the family property. Their youngest son is eight years old this year, a little older than Fang Zhilin, but the two can still play together.
The child also went to work. Seeing a cute little brother coming home, he was so happy that he pulled his brother to go play.
Fang Zhilin looked at the younger brother who was older than him and was very curious, so he followed him and ran away.
When his grandmother came in with something, she saw him running out holding Fang Zhilin's hand, so she shouted at the person running out:
"Don't run too far. Come back for dinner later. If you don't come back, I won't leave any food for you, and you'll go hungry at noon."
"And keep an eye on your brother. This is his first time back home, so if anything happens, be careful when you get back."
After hearing this, the child seemed to be accustomed to it and said without turning his head:
"Don't worry, grandma. I will take good care of my brother and won't let him get hurt."
Grandma Meng sighed helplessly when she heard her grandson's words, then smiled sheepishly at Fang Zhiyi and said:
"This kid is too naughty, but don't worry, he knows what's going on. Zhilin is his brother, and he will definitely protect her."
Fang Zhiyi heard this, smiled and said to the old man: "It's okay, children are like this, it's inevitable that they will get bumped and bruised."
After this conversation, Fang Zhiyi just sat there and listened to their conversation quietly. She was really too unfamiliar with these people, and even if she wanted to break the awkwardness, she didn't know how to do it.
Fortunately, the meal was ready quickly, successfully saving Fang Zhiyi. At the dinner table, Fang Zhiyi saw her older sister and heard from them that she was engaged and would be getting married at the end of the year.
Their third son is about the same age as Fang Zhiyi, but he is not married yet. Her mother is planning to arrange a blind date for him after the autumn harvest.
While eating, Fang Zhiyi listened to the conversations of the people at the table and soon got to know the whole family clearly.
After finishing their meal, they chatted for a while and then returned to their homes. It was hot at noon in summer, so they had to go to work later in the afternoon.
After they returned home, they quickly cleaned up the house. They could only sleep there and could not cook or anything, after all, there was nothing in the house.
When the sun was almost setting, Fang Zhiyi carried all the things into the house and laid them out. The two of them lived together, and Fang Zhiyi had his own room.
The warm smell of the quilt that had been exposed to the sun was gone. As Fang Zhiyi spread the quilt, he thought that it would be very comfortable to lie on the bed at night.
Fang Zhiyi also found a family photo of Fang's mother in a drawer at home. They were all very young at that time, and the photo was taken of the four of them together.
After looking at it for a while, Fang Zhiyi put it back untouched and put it away carefully. Since Fang's mother didn't take it away originally, let him leave it here.
In the evening, they went to Meng Xiangan's good friend's house for dinner. Meng Xiangan also brought gifts for their family, as well as several of his friends. Everyone had a gift.
Several men in their thirties were drinking and chatting, and they all looked very happy.
——
Fang Zhiyi, who was at home, didn't know that Chen Zhiren had gone to look for her this afternoon, but he came back empty-handed. He waited there for a long time but didn't see him come back, so he had to go home angrily.
He planned to wait until the next day to go there. Anyway, Chen Zhiren had to meet Fang Zhiyi, otherwise, what would happen to the promise he made to Sun Jingjing.
When he learned that Sun Jingjing was going to the countryside, he was actually a little hesitant, but when he saw her crying like that, he immediately decided to go too.
So he took his household registration booklet and registered himself. Coincidentally, they were from the same neighborhood committee, so he asked them to arrange for them to be together.
Now all that's missing is Fang Zhiyi. Although he said he had signed up, Chen Zhiren still wanted to ask about it, not to mention Sun Jingjing's matter.
There is no need to give Sun Jingjing the job now. Let her find someone to sell it quickly. Then she can go to the countryside with the money and live a good life.
Their families could not provide any help at all. Even if they went to the countryside, they could not send them money every month, so they set their sights on the money in Fang Zhiyi's hands.
They are so used to taking advantage of others that they think it is normal and they never even ask whether others are willing or not. They are so shameless.
Chen Zhiren had to go home when he didn't see anyone. Fang Zhiyi had actually guessed that they would definitely come looking for him in the next few days, and the fact that Sun Jingjing went to the countryside would definitely be exposed.
But if they are willing to wait, then let them wait. I am not the one who likes Chen Zhiren and feels sorry for him. If they suffer a little more, it can be regarded as collecting some interest for the original owner.
Fang Zhiyi was lying in her room, feeling extremely relaxed. Unable to sleep, she went into the space and worked for a while. Some apples were ripe again, so she worked for a while.
Then she felt tired, went back to her room, and fell asleep quickly. Unlike her, Chen Zhiren and the other two could not sleep well the whole night, tossing and turning in their thoughts.
The next morning, Chen Zhiren arrived at Fang Zhiyi's home early, ready to wait there. When he arrived, Fang Zhiyi was still sleeping soundly in their rural home.
