The happy little days of the Ye family

A skinny little boy raised his head with difficulty and said:

"Uncle Fang is at home. Are you here to have a drink with him?"

This little Douding is Fang Jiawang's neighbor and lives not far from his house.

Hu Shengnan knew that Fang Jiawang liked to drink, so he agreed.

Seeing that the little guy was a little tired talking to him with his head raised, he simply squatted down.

"Yes, I came to him for a drink. It's my first time coming to his house and I don't know the way. Can you guys take me to him?"

As he spoke, he handed out the candies in his hands, and each of them happened to be given a piece.

When the little guys saw that Hu Shengnan said Fang Jiawang's name and didn't look like a bad guy, they weren't as nervous as before and ate the candies happily.

Several little guys ate sweets and took Hu Shengnan to Fang's house with smiles.

"Brother, go this way. It's still a long way to go to Fang's house."

Hu Shengnan and others were on the east side of the village, while the Fang family was on the west side of the village, a little far away.

"I'm not in a hurry. I'm a little tired from walking just now. Let's walk over slowly."

It’s better to stay far away. Hu Shengnan also wanted to talk to these little guys, so he walked slowly.

On the way, she gave two more candies to each of the little ones, and then began to ask them about Fang Jiawang.

These kids ate Hu Shengnan’s candies, became very close to him, and told him everything.

Moreover, there is a child who lives next door to Fang Jiawang, so he knows even more.

Hu Shengnan learned from these children that Fang Jiawang was quite good-looking.

Usually, many girls in the village peek at him, and some girls also like him because of his good looks, but his family firmly disagrees.

And this man is indeed very lazy. Except for the summer and autumn harvests when he goes to the fields to harvest rice, he does not go to the fields at other times.

If there is a slack time in farming, I won’t even cook and just wander around.

The Fang family was prosperous and could not go to the fields, but they spent the whole day searching for delicious food in the mountains and rivers. I heard that they often brought meat home.

According to these little guys, Fang Jiawang is really good at cooking. If the farming season is busy, he will help cook at home.

Several children chattered and talked a lot about Fang Jiawang and the Fang family. However, there are some issues that Hu Shengnan is concerned about that have not yet been mentioned.

So she stopped halfway and looked at the few little beans with a weak look on her face.

"Brother's leg was injured a few days ago and he is too tired to walk now. Let's rest for a while before walking."

Several children had long disliked Hu Shengnan's slow walking, but when they saw that his leg was injured, they all stopped obediently.

Hu Shengnan was afraid that these little guys would be impatient, so he gave each of them another candy.

After eating the sweet candies, these little guys stopped complaining and looked at Hu Shengnan with smiles, wishing that he would walk slower.

Hu Shengnan saw these little guys happy and quickly asked:

"Fang Jiawang drinks every day. Does he usually cause any embarrassing incidents? Did he hit anyone or act crazy when he was drunk?"

The child who lived next door to the Fang family tilted his head and thought for a while, then said in a babyish voice:

"Uncle Fang has a good drinking capacity. He rarely gets drunk. He seems to have never heard of any embarrassing incidents. However, every time he gets drunk, he is chased and beaten by his mother the next day."

"Then he will be beaten obediently?" Hu Shengnan asked again.

"Brother Fang ran very fast. He ran all over the village and his mother couldn't catch up. She was scolding him for a long time."

Thinking of this, the little guy laughed happily.

"We all saw it. His mother chased him all over the village." The other little kids also laughed.

Hu Shengnan chatted with these children and had a general understanding of Fang Jiawang.

This man is just a lazy guy who is a little smart but doesn't like to work, but he has a good heart.

Although he was idle at home, he could often bring meat back from the mountains and rivers. His brother and sister-in-law didn't have much objection to him, and the family was still harmonious.

He is also very kind to his nephews and nieces, and his children also speak well of Fang Jiawang.

Although he likes to drink, his wine is pretty good, and he doesn't hit anyone or cause trouble when he's drunk.

Overall, Hu Shengnan was quite satisfied with the prosperous Fang family. Much better than the men she had seen before.

Not far from Fang's house, Hu Shengnan took out another handful of candies and sent the kids away.

After everyone left, Hu Shengnan walked leisurely around Fang's house.

Outside the yard is an earthen wall half a person's height. Hu Shengnan can see what's going on inside from the outside.

The yard is made of adobe bricks, but the roof is covered with tiles. The house is neither new nor old, just an ordinary farmhouse.

There is a small vegetable garden outside the house, in which various vegetables grow lushly.

There are a dozen chickens raised in the yard, firewood is piled high, and the yard is kept extremely clean.

It seems that all the Fang family, except Fang Wang, are hard-working people. And it’s not the poor families who can’t afford food.

Hu Shengnan murmured in a low voice: "It seems that the Fang family is living a pretty good life, and the house is clean. It seems that they can live a good life."

The family is living well and there will be less trouble in the future. Hu Shengnan has a very good impression of the Fang family.

If Fang Jiawang himself was not willing to work, there would probably be many girls who would be willing to marry him.

After walking around Fang's house, Hu Shengnan quietly squatted in a hidden corner of the wall.

Not long after waiting, Fang Jiawang came out of the house carrying a small basket. Hu Shengnan craned his neck to take a peek.

Fang Jiawang walked towards the vegetable garden. It seemed that he was going to pick vegetables.

Fang Jiawang didn't like to work since he was a child. He often went to the mountains to catch pheasants and rabbits and start a small stove.

He eats well and is in good shape, a little taller than the average villager.

Although he was far away, he could still tell that his facial features were quite upright, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. No wonder he attracted the little girls in the village to take a peek.

But looking at the thin skin and tender meat, it doesn't look like a villager at all. It feels a bit like a scholar in the town.

When Fang Jiawang walked to the small vegetable garden, he always felt a little uncomfortable, as if someone was peeking at him.

Just after picking a loofah, the Fang family turned around fiercely, but saw nothing.

At this time, Hu Shengnan was hiding behind a pile of firewood, so nervous that his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

Unexpectedly, this man was quite vigilant and had a smart mind.

Fang Jiawang picked a few loofahs and cucumbers in the vegetable garden, and then picked some beans and water spinach.

The Fang family's water well is next to the kitchen.

Fang Jiawang took out a small bench and sat beside the well, choosing and washing vegetables leisurely.

Hu Shengnan looked at Fang Jiawang sitting by the well choosing vegetables, and felt that this man was quite virtuous.

After waiting for a while, Fang Jiawang brought the various vegetables he had packed into the kitchen.

Summer harvest was coming soon, so Liang specially brought him a small piece of bacon in the morning and asked him to make it for his family at noon.

It was rare to eat meat. When Fang Jiawang was cooking, the corners of his mouth were always raised.

Today's lunch at the Fang family was particularly sumptuous, including fried beans with bacon, cold cucumber, stir-fried water spinach, and a loofah and egg soup.

In addition, Fang Jiawang also cooked a large pot of sweet potato rice. There was more rice and less sweet potato. It was a rare good meal for the Fang family.
