By the time they found out, it was already too late. Even if they wanted to settle the score with me, there was nothing they could do.
Although there are records of where they went to the countryside, it is not so easy for them to go there, and there is nothing they can do if they don't admit it at that time.
Ever since Chen Zhiren knew he was going to the countryside, he had become estranged from his family. After his mother said that, he no longer needed them.
Anyway, they have never been good to me, so there is no need for me to consider them. Besides, if they really love me, then there is nothing wrong with giving me more money.
After all, I'm going to the countryside, and it's no different here, so it's only right that I get some money.
After thinking about this, Chen Zhiren no longer felt any guilt. He went home happily, ready to implement his good plan.
——
After Fang Zhiyi and her friends finished their nap in the afternoon, she took her younger brother to wash the leftover vegetables they brought back from home yesterday, cut them into pieces, and put them outside to dry.
This way they will have vegetables to eat when winter comes. They are in the north, and when winter comes, they only have cabbage and radish. These are the only two things they have every day, or sprouted potatoes.
Although these are the only things they have, they are not cheap. If they are from the countryside and grow their own food, they can stock up more so that they don’t have to worry about having no vegetables to eat.
But for those who live in the city, stocking up on winter vegetables every year is a torture. They have to queue up before dawn, and when it is their turn, they don’t know how much will be left.
So every summer, everyone will try to stock up on more vegetables, and if possible, dry them. Then in winter, they will sit around the stove in the house and make a big pot of stew. They will feel so warm after eating it while it’s hot.
Just as the two of them finished their work, the door was pushed open from the outside. Seeing the person coming in, Fang Zhilin quickly pounced on him and hugged his thighs.
Holding her like a koala, Meng Xiangan looked at the person who rushed over, smiled, and did not let him get down. He limped to the table in the yard.
Then he took the little kid on his legs into his arms, and when Fang Zhilin was in his uncle's arms, he smiled and said:
"Uncle, uncle, where are the things you brought me?"
Meng Xiangan held the person in his arms and kissed him, then put him on his lap and took out a paper bag from his pocket.
Then he looked at the person in his arms, smiled and said:
"Zhilin, guess what this is."
Fang Zhilin stared at the thing in his hand, his eyes wide open, and he looked as if his saliva was about to flow out.
After hearing what his uncle said, he said happily: "Uncle, is it candy?"
"Our Alin is so smart, he guessed it right." After saying this, Meng Xianglin put the paper bag on the table and opened it for him. After opening it, there were orange peel candies inside.
Fang Zhilin looked at the candies on the table and smiled even wider: "It's orange candy. Uncle, you are so kind. Uncle, can I give this to Brother Xiaoshan later?"
"Of course you can. This is something your uncle bought for you. It's yours now. You can give it to whoever you want, but don't waste it."
After hearing this, Fang Zhilin Ting nodded with a smile, then hugged his uncle and kissed him twice, once on each cheek.
Meng Xiangan was happy to receive two kisses from his nephew, even happier than when he received military merit and was promoted in the army.
Fang Zhiyi watched the two of them playing, and smiled at them while collecting clothes in her yard.
When she folded all the clothes and put them in the closet and came out, the two of them finally quieted down. One of them was drinking water, and the other was eating candy, both of them looked very satisfied.
Fang Zhiyi looked at his brother like this and said with a smile:
"Alin, don't eat too much. You're only allowed to eat two today. If you eat too much, your teeth will get rotten and there will be little bugs in them. It will hurt."
After hearing this, Fang Zhilin first covered his mouth in fear, then after he came to his senses, he nodded desperately.
He said vaguely, "I know, sister. This is the first one I'm going to eat. I won't eat more. I don't want my teeth to get damaged."
Seeing how easily he believed Fang Zhiyi's words, Meng Xiangan smiled and thought to himself that he was really easy to fool and would believe anything she said.
But he would not expose it. Fang Zhiyi had his own way of education. If he exposed it now, wouldn't he lead the child astray?
Besides, eating too much sugar is really not good for you. If your teeth get damaged, it would be really painful.
Children like to eat candies and they don't care about the consequences, but they should know that they should stop it when necessary. Fortunately, their nephew is obedient, otherwise, their niece would be in trouble too.
Watching the two of them getting along these days, Meng Xiangan believes that his niece will definitely educate his nephew well, and he doesn't have to worry that he will grow up to be a person with bad morals.
"Okay, take the candy and go play. Don't you want to go find your brother Xiaoshan? Go ahead, and don't forget to share your goodies with him, and don't fight."
Meng Xiangan put a few pieces of candy in Fang Zhilin's hand, and then sent him away.
After the person took the candy out, Fang Zhiyi sat opposite Meng Xiangan and looked at him with sparkling eyes.
Looking at her like this, Meng Xiangan shook his head helplessly, then took out a paper bag from his pocket, handed it to her, and asked her to open it and take a look.
Fang Zhiyi watched his actions, then looked at the things on the table that were pushed next to him, and lowered his head to start taking them apart.
Fang Zhiyi looked at the package, which was bigger than before, and knew that it definitely didn't contain candy. He was that old now, so it definitely couldn't be those things.
After she opened it, the glutinous rice strips were revealed. They were made of glutinous rice and covered with plenty of white sugar. They were fried and had always been very expensive.
Although Fang Zhiyi didn't like such sweet things, he still took one out of courtesy and started to eat it slowly.
While eating, he looked at his uncle and said helplessly:
"I'm not a child anymore. Bring me something. You know that's not what I wanted to ask. How did it go? Was it successful?"
After hearing this, Meng Xiangan said proudly: "Don't you see who is doing this? How can it not succeed?"
