Fang Qing blinked.
"At least they really came to help us. This world is not only cold-hearted, we just need to make sure we keep a kind heart."
Zhao Shi'an stared blankly at Fang Qing's profile.
It wouldn't be accurate to say that Douya has no temper; she's willing to fight tooth and nail if her interests are threatened.
But she doesn't hold grudges.
Take Dashan, for example. She could forgive him even though he used to bully her like that.
Zhao Shi'an had to admit that he was also being subtly influenced by Fang Qing.
He hadn't thought about his previous life for a long time.
Perhaps the hatred that made him want to destroy the world wasn't so important after all.
This kind of life is good too.
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but reach out and rub Fang Qing's head.
"What's wrong, bro?"
"It's okay, are you cold?"
Fang Qing rubbed her arms.
I was wearing one less layer of clothing when I went out, and it was indeed a bit chilly.
Zhao Shi'an took off his outer garment and draped it over Fang Qing's shoulders.
Aren't you cold, bro?
"It's not cold, you can wear it."
With many hands making light work, they managed to finish off all their corn and peanuts in two days.
Fang Qing wrote down everyone's name, and after the meeting, she had Fang Daniu deliver the wages to each household.
The corn and peanuts were all taken away by the Zhou family. Fang Qing wanted to save some seeds for Zhang Daikui, but he refused.
"I can't always take advantage of others. This time I'll buy from the Zhou family."
Zhou Ning, who was working on her abacus, looked up at him upon hearing this.
“Brother Zhang, come find me, and I’ll give you the best price.”
"OK!"
Fang Qing felt cold even wearing three layers of clothing in this temperature. Zhang Daikui, who had just helped carry sacks, was now shirtless, showing off his muscular physique.
Sweat still rolled down his wheat-colored skin.
Zhou Ning's gaze lingered on him for a moment, then she looked away, her cheeks flushed.
The grain had already been taken away by the Zhou family, and Zhang Daikui wanted to go home, but Fang Daniu stopped him.
“Brother Zhang, you have to have a meal at my house this time. You’ve helped my family so many times, it wouldn’t be right if you didn’t even stay for a meal.”
Zhang Daikui did not refuse, and Zhao hurriedly went to buy meat to cook.
By the time the accounts were settled, it was already noon, and Zhao had just finished preparing the meal.
Zhou Ning wrote down the IOU, which stated a little over three hundred taels of silver.
"You must be tired after such a long morning. Please stay for lunch before you leave."
Zhou Ning agreed to stay after Zhao's persuasion, and couldn't help but take another look at Zhang Daikui.
But Zhang Daikui was busy talking to Fang Daniu about the grain yield and didn't notice Zhou Ning at all.
Fang Qing and Zhao Shi'an sat in the corner of the large round table, silently observing everything.
Zhao Shi'an placed a piece of spare rib on Fang Qing's plate and looked up to see Fang Qing staring at Zhang Dai Kui and Zhou Ning.
"Brother, have you noticed?"
Zhao Shi'an discovered it even earlier than Fang Qing. While threshing corn in the wheat drying yard, Zhou Ning kept bringing water to Zhang Daikui.
He nodded.
"Wow, no wonder Miss Zhou likes Uncle Zhang. He has a good temper and is also very strong. What girl wouldn't like a man who makes her feel safe?"
Zhao Shi'an paused for a moment, his expression blank.
"You like Zhang Xiaoyi?"
"Huh? What does this have to do with Brother Xiaoyi?"
Zhao Shi'an pursed his lips.
Because Zhang Xiaoyi followed Zhang Daikui.
Douya said that girls all like Zhang Da Kui, which means they like Zhang Xiaoyi, right?
"nothing."
Fang Qing smiled and moved closer to Zhao Shi'an.
"I like my brother because he's smart."
She suddenly moved closer, her breath hitting his ear, and he froze for a moment.
But then a strange feeling welled up in my chest.
"You like me?"
"yes."
This is her brother.
He's my favorite man in the world besides Fang Daniu.
Zhao Shi'an awkwardly looked away and scolded in a low voice, "A girl shouldn't keep saying 'I like you' all the time."
"Okay, I won't tell anyone else, I'll only tell my brother."
Zhao Shi'an served her more food.
"Let's eat."
His body was somewhat stiff.
*
This year is a bumper harvest year, and Fang Daniu is beaming with joy. Everyone in the village greets him with a smile.
Chicken farming has become popular in the village. The bamboo forest behind the mountain originally belonged to Fang Sanhua, but now he has set up nets in the bamboo forest and is raising thousands of chickens there.
Now, Fang Sanhua's family not only raises chickens, but also takes care of processing them. Basically, all the chickens raised in the village are sent to his house, and he is responsible for processing them.
There's a trick to processing this chicken: you have to separate each part of the chicken and then send them to Yingzi's shop in the county town, where Yingzi will pay you a processing fee.
In just three months, Yingzi has opened three shops in the county town and has recruited more than a dozen apprentices. She seems poised to expand her business to other counties.
Her business was doing well, which directly led to good business for Fang Sanhua's chicken processing plant. Now, the lazy men in the village who originally had no land have become more diligent because they see that everyone is rich. They come to work for Fang Sanhua and can earn several coins a day, which is better than being idle.
Although chicken prices have come down, everyone is still making a profit overall.
The village was in good spirits, everyone was busy making a good living, and there were no more trivial matters. The village chief was always smiling, and when he went to the county town market and met other village chiefs, they all stood up straighter than before.
If anyone in the village was unhappy, it was Zhang Zhaodi and Wang Cuihua.
Fang Zhengyi is now rich and he's working with his brother, but Zhang Zhaodi has nothing to do with it.
