The couple found a few leftover cold steamed buns and took a few bites when Fang Zhiyi urged them to start working. They worked frantically for most of the night. Fang Zhiyi kept nagging beside them with his hands behind his back, scolding Fang Jianguo for not kneading the dough properly, then saying that Chen Meihua's buns were ugly, and then he said he was going to bed.
The couple finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fang Zhiyi suddenly smiled sinisterly and said, "If you guys don't prepare it well when I open the stall tomorrow morning, I won't be happy."
Fang Jianguo felt his scalp tingling.
At five o'clock in the morning, Fang Jianguo was awakened by a knock on the door not long after he fell asleep.
"Dad? What are you doing? I've already fixed it for you!"
Fang Zhiyi put his hands behind his back and said, "Are you done? Huh? You want me, an old man, to carry so many things down?" He cleared his throat.
Fang Jianguo hung his head: "Xiaoxiaoxiao, I'll help you move."
Fang Zhiyi nodded without saying anything.
Fang's breakfast stall opened. Because Fang Zhiyi's prices were not high and it was at the entrance of the community, the business was surprisingly good. After a while of being busy, Fang Zhiyi saw Fang Xiao sneaking in front of the stall.
"Hey, where are your brother and sister?"
"Grandpa, they're still sleeping. I thought I'd come and help you." Fang Xiao replied. Fang Zhiyi didn't stop him and asked him to help pack and collect the money. Someone recognized Fang Xiao and said, "Isn't this Teacher Fang's kid?"
They knew that the couple were well-known good people, so they respectfully called Fang Jianguo "Teacher Fang".
Fang Zhiyi laughed disdainfully.
Fang Xiao smiled and said, "Yes, this is my grandfather."
"Oh, brother, your son is a good person!"
"No, no, no." You should always say politely.
In this way, Fang Zhiyi sold out all the breakfast in the morning and promised to add braised eggs and porridge tomorrow.
Of course, he did not forget to leave breakfast for the three children. Those two kind-hearted people would be fine if they didn't eat it.
Because they didn't get enough rest, they both got up a little late. When they arrived at the gate of the community, they only saw Fang Zhiyi packing up.
"Dad, do you have anything to eat?" Fang Jianguo asked. He only ate cold steamed buns last night and was very hungry.
"No more." Fang Zhiyi spread his hands. "If you had come earlier, there would still be some. Look at what's become of you two. You're hungry and sleepy all day long!"
Fang Jianguo subconsciously looked around: "Dad, speak softly, and besides, we stayed up late for a reason..." Looking at Fang Zhiyi's eyes, he swallowed the rest of his words.
Chen Meihua's hair was a little messy. She was feeling very aggrieved at the moment and left without saying a word.
Fang Jianguo looked at his wife's back, then looked at his father, stomped his feet and left.
From that day on, Fang Jianguo felt that his life had changed. First, he was blamed for his father's crimes and made him go into debt. Then, he was woken up by his father every night to help him with chores. Now, he had almost no time to do good deeds and felt like he could even fall asleep while walking!
Chen Meihua was not having a good time either. She had originally planned to use money to support one of her children, but now she had no money at all, and her husband couldn't come up with any money either. She sent a message to the child, but the child didn't respond, which made her feel anxious.
"Dad, you must have made a lot of money selling breakfast recently, right?" Chen Meihua finally couldn't help it.
Fang Jianguo was lying on the bed. He just wanted to sleep: "Ah? It seems so. He never told me how much he earned." Fang Zhiyi started cursing when he asked.
"Jianguo... look at this." Chen Meihua took out her cell phone, which showed a photo of a poor mountainous area. The children were all wearing tattered clothes, and their backpacks were also very old and worn.
"I want to buy them some tools and school bags and send them over."
Fang Jianguo opened his eyes, looked at it, and nodded: "Yes, but we don't have money now... I have to pay back my colleagues this month's salary, and you..."
