Mengyue watched her parents discuss how to encourage their three sons to study in the future. She felt guilty for a rare moment and observed a moment of silence for her three younger brothers.
But soon her mind turned to other things.
"Mom and Dad, I have something to talk to the village chief about, so I'll leave first."
Shi-shi, who was discussing something with Shi-an, quickly responded, "Hey, you."
Seeing that her parents were too busy to look after her, Mengyue was happy and at ease. Her parents focused their attention on her younger brothers so that they would not pay too much attention to her.
Although she enjoyed her parents' care and love, if the care was too excessive, she would feel unworthy of it. She should let her younger brothers feel it as well.
After figuring this out, Mengyue walked with a much lighter step.
While Mengyue was still busy with the reservoir construction, Mingyu, Minghao and Mingxuan, who were studying at Chongwen Academy in the town, had just finished school.
"Brother, we haven't been home for more than ten days. I miss home."
"Brother, wait a moment. I see a lot of strangers coming to town. We can't leave the academy without permission."
"Yes, Minghao, there must be a reason why my sister asked us to live in the academy. She wouldn't suddenly ask Brother Yan to stop picking us up." Mingxuan persuaded.
Minghao walked with his head down, kicking a small stone while walking, looking unhappy.
"Minghao, Minghao."
Suddenly someone called Minghao not far away. Minghao, who was feeling depressed, heard the voice and immediately looked towards the source of the voice.
"Chen Bao."
As he spoke, Minghao ran towards Chen Bao, and soon the group of three became a group of four.
"Minghao, come to my house and play for a while."
"No need. My sister told us to stay in the academy during this period and not go anywhere else."
"Oh, since that's what Sister Yue said, then you guys can stay in the academy. I'm going home now. Mom said she'd buy me roast duck when I come to school tomorrow morning."
"Hey, maybe you don't know this yet, but Fu Man Lou in the county recently launched a new dish called roast duck. I tried it once, and it was delicious. I never knew duck could be cooked so deliciously."
As he spoke, Chen Bao began to swallow his saliva, wanting to eat the roast duck immediately.
However, when he thought about his three friends who couldn't leave the academy and couldn't eat roast duck, he restrained his swallowing a little.
Even so, he still couldn't help but be greedy. His mother said that roast duck has a rich and unique flavor. With every bite, the tip of the tongue can taste the fragrance, crispness, tenderness, freshness, sweetness and saltiness. It gives people a complex and wonderful experience. Once you have eaten it, you will never forget it.
He had heard his mother mention it once and had kept it in mind, always wondering when he could have a taste of it.
But there is no Fumanlou in the county, and there is only one restaurant in the county. If you want to eat it, you need to send someone to the county to buy it.
His mother had sent someone to buy it a few days ago, but when they arrived at the place, there was a very long queue. In addition, Fu Man Lou only sold fifty roast ducks a day and would no longer sell this dish after they were sold out. As a result, many wealthy families had their servants queue up in advance in order to eat roast duck.
