Fang Chang and the three members of the Li family were cooking hot pot around a table. The soup base was stewed with an old hen that had been raised for three years, and was flavored with old wild ginseng.
Add in the freshly dug bamboo shoots, wild mushrooms, and soaked fungus from the mountains, and stew it all in one pot.
The soup tastes fresh.
Fang Chang picked up a piece of meat, rinsed it in the soup, dipped it in the secret sauce, and swallowed it in one gulp. His expression was one of satisfaction.
"tasty."
"Uncle Li, Aunt Zhang, and Axiu, don't be polite, just eat them all."
With good food now, the Li family seems to be less worried.
Uncle Li secretly threw two pieces of snake meat into the pot, thinking that if Xiaohu really couldn't come back, he would work harder while he was young to give Axiu a younger brother.
After all, this life has to be lived.
The incense of his old Li family cannot be cut off from him.
As for Aunt Zhang, although she forced a smile, it was not difficult to see the worry in her eyes.
After all, that was her son who was pregnant in ten months, how could she not think about it.
The mother is worried when her son travels thousands of miles.
She didn't care about her husband, she just thought about how nice it would be for her family to be in peace and as before.
Her biggest wish is that her son will get married as soon as possible, preferably within three years, and that her daughter will marry a good family.
Thinking about it, she glanced at Fang Chang without leaving any trace.
Although she felt that this idea was wrong, she still felt that everything in the Li family had changed since Boss Xiaofang came to her house.
My husband sighed more and more at night, my son became more and more disobedient, and my daughter became wild-minded.
The water vapor and smoke in the pot were rising, and the square face became somewhat mysterious.
Seeing Fang Chang looking at him, Aunt Zhang lowered her head to eat the food with some guilt. When she looked up again, she saw Fang Chang having fun with her daughter.
As for the little sister of the Li family, she stared at Fang Chang while eating fiercely, muttering something in her mouth, as if she was eating Fang Chang's meat instead of beef and mutton.
Her thoughts are the simplest.
She also wants to learn skills, and like her brother, she also wants to not be a little village girl and be called rustic when she goes to the city.
It's a pity that Fang Chang didn't want to teach her.
But when Fang Chang looked at her, she immediately showed pitiful eyes, like a puppy longing for its owner's love.
There are four people at a table, each with their own thoughts.
But there is no doubt that Fang Chang has the absolute initiative.
"I've already said it, it's not that I don't teach, it's that you can't learn it."
Fang Chang said to the younger sister of the Li family.
The little girl from the Li family frowned as she thought about the ghostly drawings she had seen in the past two days.
"But why did my brother learn it all at once? My mother used to say that I was smarter than my brother. Did you fool me with your lies?"
Fang Chang rolled his eyes: "You blame me for not knowing how to read?"
"Tall buildings are rising from the ground. If you want to learn, learn to read first. There is a teacher in the village. You go and learn for two years."
Although Li Hu is educated and literate, Li Xiuxiu is just a standard village girl.
She is a good hand at weaving, embroidering and shoe soles, but asking her to read is a bit difficult.
The younger sister of the Li family sighed: "But the people in the village who go to school are all children. It's so embarrassing for me to study with them, and there are no girls in the village to go to school."
Fang Changdao: "There's nothing to be ashamed of if you don't know how to study. It's shameful if you don't know how to pretend to understand. And what's wrong with girls? Girls can't study.
Your family is not without conditions. Don’t let tradition constrain your heart. We must listen to the good things, but we can’t listen to all the bad things.
Do you think this is true?"
The little sister of the Li family nodded repeatedly when she heard this, and her eyes were filled with stars: "Yeah, you're right, so why don't you teach me?"
Fang Chang: "Not good."
The little sister of the Li family: "..."
On the other side, Aunt Zhang frowned and said, "Axiu, don't bother Boss Xiaofang all the time. What kind of book are you going to read, girl?"
Could it be that when you get married in the future, your husband’s family won’t see you working hard and seeing you learn a few more words?”
Aunt Zhang was so majestic that the younger sister of the Li family immediately stopped talking, but she also looked very angry.
On the other side, Uncle Li smoothed things over and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, if Axiu likes it, let her do it. Boss Xiaofang is right, our family is not unconditional.
Axiu, if you really want to study and become literate, I will take you to your husband’s house tomorrow to sign up.”
The village where the Li family lives is called Xiafeng Village, with a population of about 300 people. There is a small school. The husband is an old boy in his fifties who has not been selected as a scholar after taking the exam for many years.
Today, most of the enlightened children in Xiafeng Village were taught by this old boy.
Aunt Zhang's anger that she had accumulated over the past few days suddenly burst out, and she yelled at her husband:
"Yes, yes, you know you are right! All the good people let you do it, but I am a bad person, and the children are all spoiled by you!
If the son is disobedient and the daughter is disobedient, do we still need this family?!"
After yelling, she began to lower her head and wipe her tears.
Uncle Li's smile suddenly solidified.
The air suddenly solidified.
For a moment, there was only the sound of bubbling hot pot soup.
Fang Chang's smile faded slightly and he looked at Aunt Zhang.
This...is a bit interesting.
However, he pretended that he didn't hear the underlying message. It was time to eat and drink, and he also took a piece of fresh meat roll covered in juice to the little sister of the Li family.
But the younger sister of the Li family really didn't understand the meaning of these words, and thought her mother was just unhappy that she was disobedient.
She also gave Fang Chang an admiring look.
To be able to be so calm and calm despite her mother's aura makes him worthy of being the man she chose.
At this moment, the girl's love for fantasy completely went astray.
If she can really marry Fang Chang, someone will stop her when her mother yells at her to take care of her.
What a damn sense of security.
Just when the scene was getting a little overwhelming, a deep voice sounded at the entrance of the courtyard.
"Mom, who made you unhappy? Tell your son and he will help you vent your anger."
Everyone looked towards the door.
Li Hu, who suddenly grew taller and was almost two meters tall, walked in from the door with his head bowed.
"son!"
"Little tiger!"
"elder brother!"
…
Aunt Zhang stood up suddenly and rushed forward with momentum.
"You still know how to come back?"
"Do you still know that you have a family?"
"Do you know how worried we are about you?"
"Ooooooo, Xiaohu, I miss you so much!"
Aunt Zhang hugged Li Hu tightly and burst into tears.
If it were Li Hu in the past, he would probably be at a loss when faced with such a situation, but at this moment, he just patted Aunt Zhang's back gently and comforted:
"Mom, I'm back now, aren't I?"
Uncle Li on the table rubbed his eyes and whispered: "It will be good to come back, it will be good to come back."
Only the younger sister of the Li family showed a wise expression that she had known for a long time.
"I told you that my brother is fine. He is very powerful. But you didn't believe it and you still yelled at me. Now that my brother is back, let me see if you still yell at me, hum!"
Fang Chang silently watched this scene of family reunion, his eyes lowered and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
