Chapter 164 Tempering

"Fubao, are you up? Go wash up quickly, you are such a lazy bug. Your two sisters have already eaten breakfast, but you are the only one who got up so late. I will go get you some water. Hurry up and brush your teeth and wash your face.

Lai Di, I have just finished washing your new clothes. Look, they are hung out to dry in the morning. I think they will be ready for you to wear tomorrow. You can just wear your old clothes today."

The clothes that the three children changed into today were all delivered to their daughter's room by Zhang Yanzi before dawn in the morning.

Jiang Fubao didn't know.

She was sleeping soundly.

All she knew was that every day when she woke up, there would be clean clothes beside her bed.

"Thank you, Fourth Aunt."

With her sister's brainwashing, Sun Lai Di no longer refused.

She held the wooden bowl and scooped up the porridge, which tasted delicious.

Compared to the sumptuous meals she ate at the Fang residence, she actually preferred the simple meals at her grandmother's house.

She likes even brown rice porridge.

The six-year-old boy has eyes that are slightly curved like crescent moons.

After dinner, Zhang Jinlan picked up her granddaughter and put her on the ox cart.

Before leaving, he did not forget to give a few instructions.

"Tongjin, after you finish your work in the fields today, supervise your brothers and sisters to learn to write at home. You will be in charge of teaching Lai Di and the other two. Don't just play around, or else Tongmu will be back in a few days. By then, when he teaches you new characters, you will have forgotten the old ones. Wouldn't that be a waste of your learning?"

Zhang Jinlan's words made the Jiang family boys hang their heads in despair.

Jiang Fubao saw it all and she almost laughed out loud.

It seems that children, whether in ancient times or now, don't like to study.

The ox cart drove away from Jiangjia Village.

A few minutes passed.

Ma Chunxia's family also went to the foot of the mountain with machetes. Unlike Wang Taohua's family, which made bamboo sticks, one piece of bamboo could be used for a long time. The bamboo tubes made by her family consumed a lot of bamboo. After removing the head and tail, only the middle part could be used.

Her house is not big.

You can't stack too much bamboo.

So we have to go to the foot of the mountain to cut bamboo every day.

The family just went out.

The eldest brother Jiang Liwen's wife Chen Quanfen sneaked to the village entrance.

She slipped into the patriarch's house.

He stayed there for a full quarter of an hour before coming out.

The Jiang family's ox cart had already run a long way away.

Driving slowly on the muddy road.

On the right are rolling mountains, and on the left are a large area of ​​farmland and countless houses.

Almost every household grows brown rice.

After all, brown rice is drought-tolerant.

Even if the fields are cracked by the sun, there is no need to water them more than once a day.

It can be used once a day, or once in the morning and evening.

It depends on the situation of each family.

If this were rice, it would probably all wither and die.

The lush green crops were a comfort to Jiang Fubao's eyes.

She looked into the distance, at the scenery.

A gentle breeze brushed across her cheeks.

If there is no drought, there will probably be a lot of rain this season and fog will definitely form in the mountains.

What a beautiful scenery that would be.

It's simply unimaginable.

Jiang Fubao felt it was a pity.

When the ox cart arrived in town, the Jiang family got busy.

At this moment, outside the second-floor courtyard of the Fang Mansion in Chang'an Town.

Fang Changquan and his brother were standing outside the door waiting.

The two of them had been waiting from the beginning of the Chen hour to the end of the Chen hour.

But there was still no movement in the house.

Fang Changwu is nine years old this year, two years younger than Fang Changquan. He has an impatient temper and has already exhausted his patience after standing for so long. He just sat down on the flower bed to rest, breathing heavily, like a pug that is about to have a heatstroke.

I have been accustomed to it by my parents since I was a child, and I have been fed all kinds of food.

He weighs at least 150 kilograms.

Big beads of sweat were oozing out of his chins.

Fang Changwu wanted to run back home.

"Hurry up and get up. Don't sit down. What if Auntie sees you and gets angry? Have you forgotten what Dad told us before you came?"

Fang Changquan was also tired.

But he was more afraid of his father getting angry.

My mother has been put under house arrest.

If they make their aunt angry again, I'm afraid their father won't want to take care of them anymore.

"She didn't come out to see us when we first arrived. Isn't she playing a trick on us? I think she just holds a grudge and thinks that her sister bullied Wanru. She wants revenge. She has even grounded my mother. Isn't that enough? Brother, you are afraid of her, but I am not. Beat me to death if you have the guts! I don't care. I am so hot and I want to go home."

Fang Changwu was so angry that he stamped his feet.

He started to act like a jerk.

If it weren’t for my age.

I'm afraid he's rolling on the ground.

"Don't make a fuss. Our family is what it is today thanks to our uncle. If you make my aunt angry, my uncle will definitely not care about my father. What will happen to our family? You might not even be able to afford meat. Besides, my uncle and my aunt have always been very good to us. This is my sister's fault."

Fang Chang was completely overwhelmed.

After this.

He seemed to have grown sensible overnight.

Compared to his brother's stature.

He weighs at most 80 kilograms.

She couldn't lift her younger brother who was almost twice as heavy as her.

I can only rush around in a panic.

After persuading his brother for a long time, he still didn't get up, so he simply gave up.

Standing alone at the door waiting.

The sun climbed higher and higher.

It's noon soon.

Maids came in and out.

I just didn't see my aunt calling him.

My younger brother also disappeared, probably going back to his room to rest.

Fang Changquan didn't dare to leave, he continued to wait.

Just when he was about to collapse, a gorgeous figure appeared in his pupils.

Sweat flowed into his eyes, making him unable to open them due to the stinginess, and his vision became a little blurry.

The figure came closer and closer until two maids helped him into the house and fed him two cups of cold tea, and then he came to his senses.

"Uncle, aunt." Fang Changquan stuttered.

"I am very satisfied with your performance. I asked you to come here this morning just to test you. It seems that someone did not pass the test. Cui'er, go and call the second old man and ask him to take Changwu home and give me a message."

"One son is enough for a family."

Yun Lan leaned back in a hexagonal chair and spoke slowly.

Her voice was soft, yet it made Fang Chang feel cold all over.

"From now on, I will teach you. You are about the same age as Changmin, so you can study together."

After Yun Lan finished speaking, a dozen maids standing outside the room came in carrying food.

The Fang family gathered together and had lunch.

When it was time for a nap, Fang Yanheng took his eldest son to the restaurant.

Fang Changmin and Fang Wanru also went back to their room to take a rest.

Only Fang Changquan sat in the room, not daring to move.

"Fuer, send him back. I didn't sleep well this morning. I need to rest for a while."

As Yun Lan finished speaking, Fang Changquan also stood up.

His body became a little numb.

Once again, she was helped out of the house by the maid.

When I returned to the small courtyard where I lived, there was no trace of my brother.

Three days passed, and it was the beginning of June.

Today is Jiang Tongmu's day off.

In the morning, Jiang Dahe went to Sanshan School and took his son to the shop.

"Grandma, this is for you." As soon as he arrived at the shop, Jiang Tongmu handed the three taels of silver in his arms to Zhang Jinlan.

All the people working in the hospital were so frightened by his action that they froze in place.
