Zhang Yongxian was stunned for a moment. Even if he paid in full, it would only be three dollars and forty cents, but Yang Baiyi directly gave him four dollars.
Such a simple account, but I, who have never been to school, can calculate it clearly. Could it be that I really met a fool from the landlord's family today?
"I also ate your pickled vegetables and drank your wine, so let's just round it up."
Yang Baiyi looked at his watch. It was almost twelve o'clock and the tricycle driver would probably be here soon.
"How can that be? We ate more fish than you did at noon today. We agreed to take half the money, so we can only take half."
Although Wang Zhimin felt very distressed when eating, he could not take advantage of others.
The three children are watching here, and we should set a good example for them.
Be honest and trustworthy, don’t be greedy, and even if you are poor, you must be poor with dignity.
If you educate your children frequently, you must do it yourself.
"Auntie, I just told you that I'm going to treat you to a meal. I've already bought the fish, and it's my freedom to do with it.
If you only charge me half of the money, should I sell it to you half?
So who am I? A slacker who wants to eat anything but doesn't want to pay for it?
You can't put me in such an unjust situation just to make yourselves feel at ease."
Yang Baiyi looked very serious and a little impatient. Although dealing with people who were too principled would not cause any harm, it was indeed a bit tiring.
"Second sister, little comrade, have you eaten yet? I'm not late, am I?"
Just when Wang Zhimin and Zhang Yongxian didn't know what to do, tricycle driver Wang Zhichao walked in with sweat on his forehead.
Wang Zhichao didn't have a watch, so he estimated the time by looking at the sun and rushed over.
"Uncle."
"Uncle, you're here!"
"Uncle, I'll get you some water. Wash your face quickly."
As soon as he saw his uncle coming, Zhang Shuisheng hurriedly took his younger brothers and sisters to greet him.
"Little brother, you haven't eaten yet? Second sister will make something for you quickly."
Looking at the empty bowls, Wang Zhimin quickly got up and prepared to cook for his brother.
"Second sister, please stop being busy. I still need to take the young comrade to catch the train."
Looking at the four dollars on the table, Wang Zhichao was also very happy. Fortunately, he had brought the employer to his second sister.
"It's okay, no rush. Just drop us off at the train station at 1:20. You'll still have time to eat."
Yang Baiyi looked at his watch and found that there was still plenty of time.
"I brought some dry food. I'll take you to the train station and eat it."
Wang Zhichao patted the dry food bag around his waist.
"It's been the whole morning, how can you eat something cold and hard? I'll make you something hot.
If our mother knew that you came to our house and didn't even have a bowl of hot meal, she would definitely scold me when she went to see me.
We've finished eating the fish, and there's still plenty of fish soup left. Don't be disgusted, I'll make you some fish soup pancakes. It'll only take a few minutes."
We are all real relatives, so there is no need to be so particular.
Wang Zhimin carried the basin out of the main room, and Chunni followed him to help boil the pot.
"What are you complaining about? Look at the layer of oil floating on it, it must taste delicious."
Seeing that the employer was not in a hurry and thinking that there was still plenty of time, Wang Zhichao no longer insisted.
"Uncle, please wash your face."
Zhang Chunsheng walked in with half a basin of water.
"Well, you are really filial, your uncle loves you well."
Wang Zhichao washed his face hastily and picked up a new towel from the corner of the kang to wipe his face.
"New towels are still more comfortable to use, so soft."
The towel Wang Zhichao used seemed to be the one he gave to Zhang Chunni. After Chunni returned home, she went to the kitchen to boil the pot and seemed not to have had time to wash it.
Yang Baiyi opened his mouth, thought about it and decided not to say anything, as he had already wiped it.
Lin Wanru pinched the soft flesh on Yang Baiyi's waist with her hands, trying hard to hold back her laughter.
Yang Baiyi was pinched so hard that his teeth were bared. He looked at Lin Wanru with resentment.
By the way, shouldn’t you pinch yourself to hold back your laughter?
"Little brother, it's ready, eat it quickly."
Wang Zhimin walked in with a bowl of hot fish soup with pancakes.
In order to save time, Wang Zhichao didn't care about the heat and started eating after picking up the food with chopsticks.
"Okay, I'm done eating, comrades. Now let me take you to the train station!"
One look at the fish soup pancakes made Wang Zhichao break out in a sweat again.
"Okay, let's go now."
This time, Yang Baiyi did not load the luggage himself. Wang Zhichao and his two nephews loaded all the bags onto the tricycle.
Wang Zhimin picked up the four dollars and was about to speak when Yang Baiyi stopped him with a serious look.
"Sister Chunni, I'm leaving now. I had a lot of fun this morning and I'm glad to meet you. I'll ask my brother to bring me to see you next time."
Next to the tricycle, two little girls held hands and said goodbye reluctantly.
As the Zhang family waved goodbye, the tricycle drove away and headed towards the county railway station.
When they arrived at the station, Yang Baiyi paid the money, picked up the things he bought yesterday, and the three of them went into the station to buy tickets.
After the train arrived at the station, we lined up to check our tickets and board the train. Once we entered the carriage, it felt like we were entering a big steamer.
"Brother, why is it hotter than when you came?"
The little girl asked with a frown.
“I came here by train in the morning, and now it’s noon, the hottest time of the day.
Hold on a little longer, there will be wind once the train starts moving."
Yang Baiyi comforted his sister whose head and face were red and swollen from the heat.
In the noisy carriage, the three of them found their seats and sat down.
With a whistle, the train started slowly and wind blew in from the window. Although the wind was also warm, it was much better than before.
