Chapter Twenty-Four: Getting Into Them
"Second brother, look, can I go to your house and get some sweet potato sprouts? My mother liked it very much after eating it last time, but except for your house, you can't get it anywhere else, so...hehe!
"Rubbing his hands, the little fat man asked Wang Dong with a naive smile.
After being defeated by Wang Bing, the little fat man was smart and immediately transferred his breakthrough to the second brother Wang Dong. Taking advantage of the last ten-day break of the Imperial Academy in the fourth year of Wanli, he used the banner of getting potato seedlings for his mother.
, Zhu Dingguo got entangled with the second child Wang Dong again.
"Oh? Isn't it just some sweet potato seedlings? There's no need for Brother Zhu to go there in person. I can just bring them to you when you go to school the day after tomorrow!" Wang Dong, who didn't seem to see through the little fat man's true intentions, heard
The other party wanted to get some more potato seedlings, so he agreed without thinking.
"Second brother, you see, there is nothing I can do to honor my mother. I want to take this opportunity to personally pick potato seedlings to show my filial piety!"
Seeing that Wang Dong didn't seem to be aware of his intentions, the little fat man quickly raised the banner with the word "filial piety" high.
"This..." Wang Dong really didn't know how to refuse when the little fat man waved the big flag with the word "filial piety" in his hand.
In fact, Wang Dong is not stupid, so how could he not be clear about the little fat man's drunkard intentions? What's more, there is also the special warning from the third child, Wang Bing.
It's just that unlike Wang Bing, as a true 'ancient', he is not as opposed to getting married at the age of fourteen or fifteen. In addition, the little fat man held up his 'filial piety'
The word Daqi made him unable to find a reason to refuse for a moment.
"Haha, then it's settled, thank you in advance, brother!" Seeing that although Wang Dong hesitated, he didn't refuse, the little fat man quickly settled the matter shamelessly, and then turned around.
He left quickly without giving Wang Dong a chance to say no.
…
"Second brother, you asked me to say something good about you. Didn't I tell you specifically? Look at this..." Looking at the fat man who was so attentive in front of my mother, Wang Bing couldn't help complaining to his second brother.
"Third brother, why are you so against this? Zhu Dingguo is not bad at all, either. Regardless of his family background or his knowledge and character, he is actually quite good with our eldest sister, haha!" Seeing Wang Bing's helpless look,
It seemed that Wang Dong actually spoke kindly to the little fat man.
"I mean, second brother, how old is our eldest sister? She's just over fourteen years old, and her body bones haven't even grown yet. How can you bear to marry at such a young age?" I heard what my second brother said with his elbows turned outward.
, Wang Bing was even more speechless.
…
"You are so filial at such a young age. You are really thoughtful. In this case, I will ask Sister Xi to pick some more for you. You can take them back later and show your respect to me."
"Then I'd like to thank my aunt for everything. It's just that this thing keeps bothering my little sister. I'd better go and help her pick it together. It can be considered as doing something for my mother, hehe!"
"Haha, since you are honoring me, you can go on your own!" Needless to say, my mother has been completely deceived by this little fat man with a loyal appearance, and has no idea that her precious daughter has been taken care of for a long time.
"Mom, um, let's go help too!" Without waiting for my mother to answer, Wang Bing quickly pulled his second brother and ran to the backyard greenhouse with the familiar little fat man.
"I'm telling you, little fat man, please be more honest in a moment, otherwise, hey!" Wang Bing, who pinched his fingers until they crackled, threatened with a 'smile' on his face.
"Third brother, do you think Brother Wei is that frivolous person? Brother Wei is sincere!"
"You're so fucking stupid, you're just blinded by hormones!" Wang Bing retorted without even thinking.
Wang Bing didn't understand. This little fat guy had been made red-faced by Qi Panzong's teasing a few times before, but the next day he became as thick-skinned as a city wall. He didn't know how he did it.
…
"Little sister, my brother has caused you trouble!"
Several people came to the greenhouse and saw Sister Xi coming with two big bamboo baskets. The little fat man immediately smiled and greeted her with a diligent look, and hurried to pick up the basket that was going to be used to hold the potato seedlings.
Big bamboo basket.
"Gee, what's the trouble? I'm just pinching some potato seedlings!" Facing the little fat man's attentiveness, Sister Xi didn't seem to notice at all, and casually handed the bamboo basket to the little fat man.
"Oh, second and third brothers, what are you doing? Why are you crowding around such a wide place? Really!"
Sister Xi, who didn't know that she was 'in danger', couldn't help but scream slightly when she saw Wang Bing and Wang Dong crowding in front of the ridge of potato seedlings in front of her.
"That's right, if there are too many people, it will be too crowded. Little sister, how about we give this ridge to the second and third eldest, and let's switch to another ridge!"
The little fat man, who was well aware of Wang Bing's precautionary intentions, immediately agreed with Sister Xi with a smile on his face, and led Sister Xi away with another ridge of potato seedlings with a basket in hand. And when he did, he also
She secretly winked at Wang Bing, which made Wang Bing angry.
"Third brother, don't go over, just watch like this. Brother Zhu is not a frivolous person, so there is no need to be so defensive." Wang Dong, who had been forced to pull him here, saw Wang Bing and was about to follow him again.
He went over and immediately reached out to hold him.
"Second brother, you..."
Being pulled by his second brother, Wang Bing wanted to break away. He thought that the greenhouse was only so big and the little fat man couldn't do any tricks, so he had to stop. Then he pinched absentmindedly.
Hongshu Miao, while watching the little fat man's every move as if to guard against thieves.
…
"Thank you for your hard work, little sister, please wash your hands first!" After pinching the potato seedlings, the little fat man immediately and diligently carried the bucket from the greenhouse to Sister Xi and said.
"Gee, why don't you just pinch some sweet potato sprouts? Why bother?" As she spoke, Sister Xi generously washed the tender sweet potato sprout juice on her hands in the bucket brought by the little fat man.
"Well, little sister, here are some snacks made at home, do you want to try them?" After Sister Xi finished washing her hands, the little fat man reached out and took out an exquisite wooden box from his arms like a magic trick, not much bigger than a palm.
He handed it to Sister Xi.
Sister, don’t you know that you are short-handed when taking advantage of others, but soft-spoken when you eat others?
Looking at Sister Xi who accepted the snack box from Little Fatty after hesitating for a moment, Wang Bing couldn't help but feel depressed in her heart.
"Second and third brothers, you guys should try it too!" After taking the wooden box, Sister Xi handed the exquisite snack box to Wang Bing and Wang Dong.
"Little sister, the third child said that they don't like sweets, so you should eat it yourself!" Before Wang Bing could say anything, the little fat man quickly stopped him.
"Haha, eldest sister, you can eat it, the third child and I don't like sweets anymore!" After looking at the exquisite snack box, Wang Dong said before Wang Bing could.
…
"Second, second and third, it's cold outside, so you don't have to send it away. Tell my little sister for me that I'll come see her after a while, hehe!" Carrying two baskets of tender sweet potato seedlings, he got into a car at an unknown time.
In the carriage parked in front of Wang's house, the little fat man stretched out his head and smiled proudly at Brother Wang Bing.
"If I hadn't spoken out, who would have given you such a shameless gift!" Wang Bing couldn't help curling his lips as he looked at the carriage leaving.
