Chapter 131 Fighting for superiority
Tang Yichen was reading a book when someone called his name outside. He suddenly remembered that today was the day his family would come to the city.
He put down the book, not even caring about the obsessive-compulsive disorder he had to follow on a daily basis, 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 sheepishly 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 been finishing his homework late these past few 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 how he was feeling today.
Tang Yichen ran to the door, only to see Mr. Tang San waiting there with a basket and several large jars at his feet.
He looked around and didn't see Qin Huiyin, so he asked in confusion, "Third Grandpa, where's my little sister?"
Mr. Tang San handed over the basket and said with a smile, "She's busy, 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 go in with you, I would help you carry them in directly."
"She went to the dam?" Tang Yichen smiled faintly.
Third Master Tang: "...Haha, freshly grilled skewers won't taste good if they get cold. She also wants to send the food over sooner."
He waited at the door for a long time before she let him out, which showed that her idea was right. If she had delivered the food to Tang Yichen first and then went 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 also opened the basket and said to them, "My sister's cooking skills, if you don't mind, I will share some with everyone."
"It smells so good. I don't mind it, no matter how much I eat."
"That aroma... is that Smiling Mouth Restaurant yours?" 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 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 hands, saying, "Thank you, Brother Yichen. We won't be polite. Let's go and distribute them before class starts."
Third Master Tang said worriedly, "Save the sauce for him."
"Don't worry, we'll help take him to his room."
Mr. 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 intentions 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 big brother guarding the door 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's free right now. Please wait here for a moment. I'll go in and ask."
After the officer 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 his face was full of greed, and he took a bite. "Sister, your cooking skills are really amazing."
Qin Huiyin smiled and said, "As long as you like it."
As he said that, he handed over two more skewers.
"My brother has only been the manager for a few days, how come he got promoted again?" Qin Huiyin said, "Nothing has 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 prying for information and felt a little 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 glanced at Song Ruize, but didn't dare to speak.
"Brother Erzhu, Brother Dazhu has been arguing about splitting up the family since he returned. Your grandmother disagrees and is still at a stalemate with them. But this time, Brother Dazhu is very determined and won't give in. You can rest assured that Brother Dazhu will definitely not let the person you love be taken away from you."
Zhang Erzhu finally smiled and said, "Sister Yin, please tell my brother that I'm doing well here and that Ruize is taking care of me! The work I'm doing now is the easiest and not tiring at all. Also, ask him to ask Miss Chunni. If she doesn't want 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're 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."
"it is 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's not sick, he's in good health. It's no problem for him to go up the mountain and hunt tigers now."
"Brother Qibin, are you unhappy today?" Qin Huiyin noticed Jiang Qibin's sarcastic tone.
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 launched 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 has a backer and is showing off.
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."
