Chapter 131: Fighting for supremacy
Tang Yichen was reading a book when someone called his name outside. He suddenly remembered that today was the day his family would go into the city.
He put down the book, not even caring about the obsessive-compulsive disorder he usually had to abide by, and got up and ran outside.
The old man guarding the gate saw Tang Yichen and said with a smile, "It's rare to see Mr. Tang so nervous."
Tang Yichen adjusted his clothes awkwardly and said, "How do I look today?"
"Handsome." The old man said with a smile, "Student Tang is the most handsome student here."
"Uncle Zong, please don't joke with me." Tang Yichen said embarrassedly, "My family is at the door, right? Then I'll go over first."
Tang Yichen asked his uncle because he had finished his homework late these days and couldn't put down the books in the academy. Whenever he had free time, he would go to the library. He was worried that his complexion was not good and his family would be worried if they saw him, so he asked himself how he was doing today.
Tang Yichen ran to the door, only to see Mr. Tang San waiting there with a basket and a few large jars at his feet.
He looked around and didn't see Qin Huiyin, so he asked in confusion: "Third Grandpa, where is my little sister?"
Master Tang San handed over the basket and said with a smile, "She has something to do, so come pick me up later. The basket contains freshly grilled skewers, eat them while they're hot. You probably can't move these big jars, do you have any friends? Ask them to come and help. If I could follow you in, I would help you move them in directly."
"She went to the dam?" Tang Yichen smiled faintly.
Master Tang San: "...Hehe, the freshly grilled skewers won't taste good if they get cold. She also wants to send the food over earlier."
He waited for a long time at the door before he came out, which showed that her idea was right. If she had delivered the food to Tang Yichen before going to the dam, the skewers would have been cold long ago.
Tang Yichen smiled faintly: "I'll wait with you until she comes."
"No need for that. Go in and do your thing first. Besides, you can't finish all these skewers by yourself. Go in and share with your classmates."
Tang Yichen said: "Third Grandpa, please wait here for a moment."
Tang Yichen went in and called a few people out, and they helped him move the jars.
He even opened the basket and said to them, "My sister's cooking skills, if you don't mind, I'll share some with you."
"It smells so good. I don't mind it, no matter how much I have, I won't mind it."
"This aroma... is that Smiling Face Restaurant owned by your family?" one of them said, "Oh, no wonder your sauce is so delicious."
Third Master Tang smiled and said, "Yi Chen has a worried sister who is always worried that her brother is not eating well or sleeping well outside, so she sends him food every few days."
A student grabbed five skewers of barbecued meat and stuffed them into Tang Yichen's hand, saying, "Thank you, Brother Yichen. We won't be polite. Let's go and distribute them before class starts."
Master Tang San said worriedly, "Save the sauce for him."
"Don't worry, we'll help take him to his room."
Master Tang San said: "It seems that you get along well with them."
"Everyone's mind is on their studies, and there are more people with good hearts."
What this means is that there are people with bad natures everywhere. Since it is unavoidable, just don't make friends with them.
On the other side, Qin Huiyin stopped driving the ox cart.
"Girl, here we go again." The brother guarding the gate was more enthusiastic than last time.
Qin Huiyin keenly noticed the difference and smiled as usual: "Brother, I'm looking for my brother. Is he free today?"
"Supervisor Song is busier than before. I don't know if he is free now. Please wait here for a moment. I will go in and ask."
After the officer who spoke left, Qin Huiyin took out two skewers and handed them to another guard, smiling and asking for information: "Brother, why did that brother just now call me the supervisor?"
"Your brother has been promoted again." The man took it, smelled the fragrance and salivated, and ate it in one gulp. "Sister, your cooking skills are amazing."
Qin Huiyin smiled and said, "As long as you like it."
As he said that, he handed over two more strings.
"My brother has only been the manager for a few days, how come he got promoted again?" Qin Huiyin said, "Nothing happened in the past few days, right?"
"certainly……"
"Of course not." Song Ruize's voice came over. "I was just lucky. The dam master appreciated me and assigned me some more work."
"Brother." Qin Huiyin was caught while asking for information, and felt guilty. "Your clothes look really nice. Being an official is different. You look more energetic."
Song Ruize raised the corner of his mouth: "Can you make money by sending things to me all day long?"
"Didn't you give me your monthly salary? I made a lot of money." Qin Huiyin teased him deliberately.
"From now on, my monthly salary will be one tael of silver."
"You're not planning to give me next month's salary, are you?" Qin Huiyin was surprised.
"Yeah." Song Ruize took the basket and handed it to the person behind him.
Song Ruize did not come out alone, behind him were the big guys Chen Yong, Jiang Qibin and Zhang Erzhu.
Zhang Erzhu obviously had something to say. He looked at Song Ruize but didn't dare to speak.
"Brother Erzhu, Brother Dazhu wanted to split up the family after he returned, but your grandmother disagreed and is still at a stalemate with them. But this time, Brother Dazhu is very determined and will not give in. You can rest assured that Brother Dazhu will definitely not let the person you like be taken away from you."
Zhang Erzhu finally smiled and said, "Sister Yin, please tell my brother that I am doing well here and that Ruize is taking care of me! The work I am doing now is the easiest and not tiring at all. Also, ask him to ask Miss Chunni. If she is unwilling to wait for me, then..."
"From what I know, Sister Chunni has just turned fifteen, so she shouldn't be in a hurry to get married."
"They have to pay taxes. Their family may not be willing to pay taxes for her." Zhang Erzhu was helpless.
"Then you can help her pay!" Qin Huiyin said, "If you really like her, keep her first. Money is something outside of your body and can be earned."
Zhang Erzhu's eyes lit up again, and he said happily, "Sister, you are right. Why am I so stubborn? Then please help me talk to my brother. You can keep a record of how much money he paid for me, and I will pay him back when the time comes."
"good."
Song Ruize coughed lightly.
Qin Huiyin looked back at him and frowned: "You don't look well, are you sick?"
Jiang Qibin muttered beside him: "He is not sick, he is in good health, and it is no problem for him to go up the mountain to hunt tigers now."
"Brother Qibin, are you unhappy today?" Qin Huiyin noticed Jiang Qibin's weird look.
His presence today was too weak. Usually, Qin Huiyin would be the first to notice him when he appeared, but today she didn't notice his presence.
Jiang Qibin received the ice knife fired by Song Ruize and said with a smile: "I'm not unhappy. Brother Ze thinks I'm noisy and asked me to talk less."
"No, don't listen to my brother. He is boring and needs a little sunshine like you by his side." Qin Huiyin said.
"Listen, listen to what my sister says. You have to listen to your sister. She is the benefactor of your life." Jiang Qibin is proud of himself now that he has a backer.
The brothers nearby couldn't stand it anymore and looked disgusted.
Qin Huiyin quickly uncovered the cloth on the basket and said to them, "These are freshly grilled skewers. Share them quickly. They won't taste good if they get cold."
