Chapter 221

At noon, when the meal was almost done, the brothers Fang Zijian and Fang Ziyuan came home.

When Fang Xiaofu heard the noise, he immediately ran out of the kitchen with a bib on and a spatula in his hand, and asked excitedly, "What's going on?"

"..." With such a little girl dressed as a cook, the two brothers felt like they hadn't seen each other for a long time. They stared at her blankly for a moment and forgot to speak.

"Hey, I want to ask you something, hurry up!" Fang Xiaofu didn't care about the situation, she only cared about the result of their trip to the county.

"Well, it's all done." Fang Zijian came back to his senses, and walked past her to the kitchen, "I'll go get some water and talk about it later."

"Let's talk after dinner. You're busy too." Fang Ziyuan also walked towards the kitchen, "I'm thirsty too."

"..." The two guys who deserved a beating, actually acted like a fool.

"You two! I forgot to say, my aunt is here today, and my cousin Yixiang is here too, they are all in the main room." Fang Xiaofu reminded after following back to the kitchen.

The two brothers turned back immediately, stopped drinking water, and went directly to the main room.Fang Xiaofu went back to the kitchen, took a look at the sisters who were cleaning up the dishes, and asked Xiaoqiu to pour water for the two brothers, so that they would not die of thirst.

Xiaoqiu giggled and poured water.

Caixia was squatting in front of the small clay stove to cook medicine for the third brother. Fang Xiaofu finally started to fry vegetables. The cucumber was cut into thin strips, dipped in some sauce, and wrapped in finger cakes.

The little sisters cleaned all the dishes and chopsticks together, and counted the number of five tables with the reserves taken out of the warehouse, and then began to serve the dishes in the main room.

There were only four Eight Immortals tables in the house, and another one was brought over from the second master's house, and the main room was packed to the brim.Fortunately, the main room of the old Fang's house is spacious, otherwise it can only be placed in the yard.

The older generation started to drink at the table, and there were only a few times a year when the three siblings got together like this, so everyone was very happy.

Although Shijiapo is not very far away, I didn't go to the town far. It is because of the proximity that the drivers don't make a lot of money, so they don't want to run that road, so they can only walk on two legs.

And everyone is busy, there is plenty of work at home and outside, and they don't just drop by when they have nothing to do.

Therefore, today is also a rare opportunity, at least for the second master.The old man has been to Shi's house several times recently.

Uncle, uncle's mother, father, mother, two uncles and aunts sat at a table.

The third table is the brother's table headed by Fang Zijian. Shi Yixiang also sits at this table, accompanied by him and Fang Ziyuan. Ziwei and Zituo don't know how to drink, but eat with them.In addition, there are Zi Ang, Zi Hong and Zi Chun.

The remaining two tables are for the youngest brother and little sisters. Fang Xiaofu was supposed to sit here too, but after she came back from serving Fang Zizhan to drink medicine and eat, she was called to the main table by her aunt and sat with her. Together.

In Fang Xiaofu's memory, he had never eaten at the adult's table, neither Fang Xiaofu before nor her now had such an honor.Therefore, her aunt's enthusiasm made her a little scared.

Fortunately, my aunt just praised her a few times, and got the approval of the old man and the second master.The two old ladies also praised with smiles on their faces, which made her very embarrassed.

But seeing that no one asked her any requests, she finally felt more at ease.However, in order to prevent being chased away, she finished her meal quickly, said that she was going to make herbal tea for third brother, and left in a hurry.

Pity her herbal chicken soup, braised crucian carp, boiled fish slices, braised pork, shredded pork with green peppers, minced pea meat, fried beans with eggplant, smooth cabbage, steamed dumplings, puff pastry, and finger cakes.

There was a large table full of them, but in the end they ran away without eating a few mouthfuls.

Before Fang Zizhan finished eating, he saw Xiao Qi'er coming back with jujube tea, and couldn't help frowning: "You haven't eaten yet?"

"It's over." Fang Xiaofu curled his lips, and couldn't help complaining aggrievedly, "My aunt insisted that I sit at their table, so I was nervous and didn't dare to eat more."

"Silly girl." Fang Zizhan was speechless.She was tired and hungry enough to make so many dishes by herself, but she still couldn't have enough food, which is too bad.

"Come, eat with me." Fang Zizhan moved the bowl of chicken soup that he drank in front of her. There was a spoon in the soup bowl, so he could eat it directly.With chopsticks in his hand, he was eating a piece of puff pastry cut into triangles.

I ate too lightly from yesterday to today, and my stomach was already empty.The soup dumplings I ate at noon today were a bit greasy, and I felt very comfortable. I am not very hungry at the moment.

However, the chicken soup tastes very good, and it is not greasy to drink without the oily skin.And there are steamed dumplings and pancakes on the plate. Although there is only a small bowl of rice, eating these supplementary foods will make you not hungry.

Fang Xiaofu remembered that there was still half a pot of chicken soup left in the top pot, so he was not polite.After drinking a few mouthfuls of soup, he ate two pieces of chicken, and reached for a steamed dumpling to eat.

The two sat on the same chair and shared the delicious food. They were both in a good mood and the atmosphere was very warm.

Not long after, Fang Zijian and Fang Ziyuan came to look for them, along with Shi Yixiang.Shi Yixiang met in the yard before, and did not talk to Fang Zizhan.

At this moment, the brothers can have a good chat.After Fang Zizhan ate, his physical strength gradually recovered, and he didn't have to work so hard to speak.

When Fang Xiaofu wanted to leave space for their cousins, Shi Yixiang stopped her: "Xiao Qier, I have something to tell you."

"Ah?" Fang Xiaofu just walked to the door, stopped and turned around in surprise.

"This..." Shi Yixiang suddenly became awkward again, a little embarrassed.

"Cousin Yixiang is doing it for Sister Menglei." Fang Zijian already knew the details, and his face was a little unhappy, "Sister Menglei is too pitiful."

"What?" Fang Xiaofu asked suspiciously.Searching quickly in his mind, he finally remembered that the second cousin of the Shi family had a daughter, half a year younger than Caiyun, who betrothed a son from a scholar's family in the same village three years ago.

"I was supposed to get married at the end of this year, but the marriage was regretted a month ago. I heard that a relative of the scholar's family introduced a daughter of a wealthy family in the county to her. The dowry is generous."

Fang Ziyuan sneered: "It's really embarrassing for scholars."

"The Shen family said that if Menglei agrees to be a concubine, the marriage contract will continue. If Menglei disagrees, the marriage contract will be cancelled. Don't say that Menglei disagrees, our Shi family will not abuse our girls like this."

Shi Yixiang was also indignant.

"What rubbish! Scum!" Fang Xiaofu was also so angry that he couldn't help but cursed.

"Little Qi'er, don't be angry, it doesn't matter if this kind of family doesn't marry, it's even worse if they marry." Fang Zizhan hurriedly got up and walked over to take Fang Xiaofu's hand to comfort her.

"Well, let's Menglei marry a better family in the future, and slap them hard, make them regret it, and hide in the house and cry." Fang Xiaofu calmed down, but said fiercely.
