Chapter 302 The Only Good Bird
After hearing Ye Buwei's words, Zhao Xingjian stood there, like a clay sculpture, motionless.
The villagers laughed and said, "Dad Yanping, you can only be considered a family after Yan'an and Miss Rong'er get married."
"Yes, the Master cannot be considered a member of the Ye family. The Master still belongs to everyone!"
Zhao Xingjian came back to his senses, "Don't talk nonsense, Rong'er or not, I am still a Ye family member."
The villagers laughed and said, "Master, how about we build you a house?"
"Yeah, it must be much more comfortable living alone!"
"Thank you so much!" Zhao Xingjian was amused. "Is there any little Jiuer living alone? Yes..."
After glancing at Ye Buwei, he said, "Anyway, I'm staying at the Ye family and I'm not going anywhere else! Don't even think about separating me from them!"
Tietou's father said, "I once asked the teacher why you, with all your knowledge, were willing to stay in Heihe Village to teach these little kids. Guess what the teacher said?"
"What do you mean?"
"He said he was willing to stay because the villagers in Heihe were kind and honest. I was so moved that I almost cried."
"Now I finally understand. Master, you're just trying to fool me! He stayed because of the Ye family! Master, am I right?"
"Oh, it's getting late. I have to go teach the kids." Zhao Xingjian ran away quickly.
Zhao Xingjian was rarely so flustered. Everyone laughed so hard, "Dad Tietou, be careful! The teacher might give Tietou endless homework!"
"What are you afraid of? You don't want me to write it!" Tietou's father expressed fearlessness.
"Why did the teacher leave? The money hasn't been paid out yet." Someone finally remembered.
“Here we come!”
The three brothers of the Ye family came over pushing a cart with several large sacks on it, all of which were filled with silver.
The little girl rode on Ye Yanping's neck, looking at everyone with her big eyes, "You can't cry today!"
"Don't cry, absolutely not!" Everyone lined up with a smile, "Master Xiaojiu said to keep a calm mind, we dare not forget!"
"Whoever cries today will be responsible for emptying the chamber pot at the inn!"
It didn't take long before it happened.
"Wow, wow, wow..." Someone cried while holding a pocket full of silver.
"Didn't you agree not to cry? Why can't you hold it back?" The village head was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
The crying man wiped his tears and said, "I'm not crying! I just want to empty the chamber pot!"
After hearing this, the people around him also started crying.
"What a coincidence! I want to empty the chamber pot just like you, woo woo..."
"I always loved emptying the chamber pot... woooooo..."
"Me too, I love emptying the chamber pot the most, woooooo..."
"Oh my! You bunch of people! Just keep a normal mind, do you understand?" The head of the village looked disgusted.
But the next second she burst into tears, "Count me in when you empty the chamber pot... Actually, I really like emptying the chamber pot!"
Little Dumpling: "..."
…
I have a side note to add here.
Two strange things happened in Heihe Village today.
First, there were a lot of people going to the inn to empty the chamber pots, and they all went with red eyes. When the guests asked, they said it was because of the spicy peppers.
Second, several children, led by Tietou, received special assignments from the teacher:
Today, we have to make sure that each of our fathers learns to write twenty characters, not one less. Ironhead's father has to learn twice as many, forty.
The task must be completed before going to school tomorrow morning.
…
Zhou Huaining did not return to the county government office last night. When he woke up this morning, he found that there was no one at the Ye family.
I went into the kitchen to find some food, then went out in my slippers.
Just as he reached the gate of the yard, he thought for a moment, then went back to find a long stick and held it in his hand.
There is no other way, this is the only way to feel safe.
After walking out of the door for just two steps, I suddenly felt a gust of wind on my head. Before I could look up, a black shadow flapped its wings and fell from the sky.
"No way!" Zhou Huaining suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, the next second, the white falcon appeared in front of him.
"Oh my god!" Zhou Huaining's eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Bai Shun predicted his movements, moved his body, and caught Zhou Huaining on his back, preventing him from falling to the ground.
When Zhou Huaining woke up, he found himself still at the gate of the yard, with white feathers exposed under his body.
Zhou Huaining shuddered so much that he jumped three feet high. He closed his eyes and said, "No way, Brother Bird, why are you still here? Go away! We don't know each other!"
White Falcon pushed him forward.
Zhou Huaining was trembling all over and his hair was standing on end. He felt like he was going to faint at any moment.
"Brother Bird, why don't you go find some of your own kind to play with? Or you can ask Xiao Jiuer to find you a companion! I really don't like playing with birds!"
Bai Shun seemed not to understand what he said and was still pushing him from behind. Zhou Huaining's legs were as soft as noodles, his heart was beating like a drum, and his whole body was covered with goose bumps.
I wanted to run but couldn't, so I had to be pushed forward in a daze.
Who would have thought that he would be held hostage by a bird?
Fortunately, Bai Falcon was always behind him and didn't show up, otherwise Zhou Huaining would have fainted in minutes.
Zhou Huaining had hoped to meet some villagers and have them rescue him, but in the end, there was no one on the village road today.
Only the sounds of laughter and joy came from the ancestral hall.
When the chickens and ducks in the village saw the white falcon, they immediately ran away without a trace. This was a blessing in disguise.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Huaining found himself at the city gate.
The white falcon no longer followed him, but nudged him and flew away with its wings flapping.
Zhou Huaining held his head and was about to faint when his legs gave out and he suddenly heard Hawkeye's laughter coming from outside the city gate.
The voice was filled with enthusiasm and joy, "Thank you, Master Fan. It is an honor for me, Hawkeye, to meet you!"
Zhou Huaining, who was half-dizzy, suddenly woke up, raised his legs and rushed out.
"Brother Bird, thank you! You are the only good bird!"
…
Hawkeye came to Heihe Village early this morning because he was thinking about the watermelon.
It was obvious that Fan Jie Qiang's driver was very reliable. Not only did he bring back the silver, but a caravan also came to transport watermelons in the afternoon.
Hawkeye and Fan Jie Qiang were sitting face to face having breakfast at this moment. Fan Jie Qiang seemed very excited as it was his first time to discuss business.
"Brother Hawkeye, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. I want to sell these watermelons for at least two hundred coins per pound. To prevent you from calling me a profiteer, I'll buy them at forty coins per pound. All you have to do is promise me that you'll let me know as soon as you find something good in the future."
Hawkeye laughed and said, "Okay, let's do as Master Fan says!"
Watermelons were initially sold at ten cents per pound, then at fifteen cents per pound, but now Fan Jie Qiang buys them all at forty cents per pound. What else can she say?
Fan Jie Qiang is a really weird person.
You say he is a profiteer, but he automatically raises the price;
But you say he is not a profiteer, he has to make at least 80% of the profit.
"Brother Hawkeye is a straightforward person. Let's work together often in the future!"
Fan Jie Qiang was about to pat Hawkeye on the shoulder, but was stopped halfway.
"Just talk, why are you touching me?"
