Chapter 123 The oil bottle
As for when in the future, we’ll talk about it later.
Anyway, Fang Nanzhi ran away quickly after shouting.
The Fang family’s neighbors on both sides heard the last two sentences.
Old Master Zhou squatted in the yard, took a puff of his pipe without putting out the tobacco, and raised his eyelids to look at his busy little son.
"Did you listen? Even though Fang Tong is a scoundrel, he is still filial."
His youngest son felt as if he had been scolded, but he still believed it: "Dad, why does Aunt Fang's tone sound wrong to me? She doesn't seem very happy."
"Hmph, what's wrong with that? The old couple in the Fang family are blind and partial. Nothing good will happen to them from now on." Old Master Zhou was full of disdain.
He must be reluctant to eat the meat and wants to leave it for Fang Jin.
He couldn't be such an old man. Although every household in the village relied on the eldest son for support in old age, before dividing the family, they had to be fair.
Fang Nanzhi ran back, put down the bowl, and went to play with the cow.
A lot of milk is used to make the cake every day, all thanks to the high productivity of the cow. So the family members love the cow very much and feed it well every meal. It also gets combing service from its owner.
Niu Sheng has basically reached its peak.
The cow glanced at its little master, mooed softly, and continued to lie down and rest.
Fang Nanzhi squatted beside it, holding his chin with both hands, and the little guy sighed heavily.
Her grandmother's words "burden" finally touched the little girl's heart.
If it weren't for her, Daddy would definitely not marry into his family. In his dream, she was even eaten by someone, and Daddy died trying to find her.
It seems like she is really a burden to her father.
She is always naughty, and I wonder if Aunt Qian will dislike her?
Qin Yan came out pushing a wheelchair at some point, and seeing the little girl's wrinkled face, he couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you doing, Zhizhi?"
Fang Nanzhi didn't look back, and his voice was a little depressed: "Brother, when will I grow up?"
When you grow up, you can do more work.
By then, no one will say that she is a burden.
"That will take a long time. If you want to grow up, you have to eat well, study well, and have fun."
Qin Yan had never met a girl of this age and didn't know what she was thinking.
"But, alas," Fang Nanzhi squatted and turned in another direction, continuing to worry: "Brother, isn't it too expensive to raise me?"
She loves to eat it.
Do I need to eat less from now on? But the meat is delicious, the chestnuts are delicious, and the noodles are delicious.
Thinking about not being able to eat it in the future, the little girl couldn't help but burst into tears.
Qin Yan sensed something was wrong this time. He pushed his wheelchair forward and stopped in front of the little girl. He touched the top of her head and said, "Nonsense! You eat your own food, how can it be considered as a cost?"
"Zhizhi, did someone say something?"
The little girl raised her head, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably, and spoke incoherently.
"They said I was a motherless child and a burden to my father. They said I would be thrown away and no one would want me."
She had heard such words since she was a child, and most of the time, she would fight back with her fists.
But how can I not care at all?
Plus, today, grandma said in person that she was a burden, and the little girl couldn't help it.
Qin Yan felt very distressed.
Ever since the little girl came to the Qin family, she has been full of energy, which makes people happy just by looking at her.
For the first time, the little girl was so vulnerable.
Qin Yan helped her wipe her tears: "Don't listen to their nonsense, you are Uncle Fang's little cotton-padded jacket, my sister, and my mother's daughter."
"Zhizhi, you have to learn to feel with your heart. At home, all of us truly love you. How could we not want you?"
"Those people are just jealous. They can't compare to you, so they say that."
Qin Yan stared into her eyes, his gaze gentle and sincere.
Fang Nanzhi sniffed and thought about it seriously.
Her father is definitely the best father in the village.
Her Aunt Qian is not like other mothers who favor boys over girls. She treats her and her brother the same.
Brother Qin Yan loves her so much that he even gave her a little wooden bird.
Yes, she is very popular.
Fang Nanzhi burst into laughter instantly, and said confidently: "Brother is right, I am not a burden, I am very important."
Hearing the word "burden", a dark light flashed in Qin Yan's eyes, which quickly disappeared. He smiled dotingly: "Yes, that's right. Zhizhi is the most important person in the family."
Fang Nanzhi became proud again.
Qin Yan breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he felt sorry for her, so he gave her a day off. She didn't have to study today and could go out and play for a day.
But you have to bring your second uncle with you.
Fang Nanzhi agreed immediately and ran off to find his second uncle.
She hasn't played with her friends in the village for a long time.
During this time, firstly, her second uncle was injured and she was afraid he would be bored, so she often accompanied him. Secondly, the family was very busy, and the little girl was very sensible and helped with errands, so she didn't dare to go far and only played in the yard.
Only after the adult and the child left did Qin Yan's expression become gloomy.
Who said what to the little girl?
He clenched his fists. He could ignore the rumors about him from the villagers, but Zhizhi was only seven years old!
What is the intention of those people saying these things to children?
Fang Nanzhi was a carefree person and had forgotten about his sad things. He looked for his friends in the village but couldn't find them.
I heard from the adults that they went to the south side of the village.
There, the village chief marked out a large piece of land to build a house for some important person.
Most of the able-bodied laborers in the village work there as odd jobs.
In addition to picking chestnuts every day, children love to come here to play.
This is because Butler Zhou often arranges people to deliver goods and materials, and they all come in horse-drawn carriages.
Children in the village rarely have the opportunity to see a horse, so they always want to join in the fun and see the horse. It would be even better if they could touch one.
But no child has dared to try it yet.
When Fang Nanzhi and his second uncle ran over, a group of children were hiding under a big tree, excitedly looking at a red pony not far away.
"Wow, it's so pretty. And since it's a pony, will it be less fierce?"
"I know this horse isn't for delivering goods. A young boy was riding on it just now."
"I saw it too. That should be the young master of the Zhou family, right? He's dressed very nicely."
Fang Nanzhi looked over and saw a foal not far away, eating grass with its head down, its fur particularly smooth.
She scratched her head and said, "Wow, it's longer than my cow's hair."
It's definitely more troublesome to comb.
A little girl with a runny nose turned around and saw her. She immediately became happy: "Zhizhi, you're here too? I thought you couldn't play with me anymore."
The little girl's name is Chunhua, and she is the village chief's granddaughter.
I have two older sisters and two older brothers, and I am quite favored at home.
She and Zhizhi are best friends.
Unfortunately, she heard that Zhizhi and her father had married into the family, and she would have a stepmother in the future.
Children with a stepmother have a hard life. They have endless work to do every day and it is impossible for them to go out and play.
